I have now tested a number of plugins.

“WP Extended Search” are able to select one tag og category but not two or more (As far as I can find out.)

A plugin like WPForms can build up forms with dropdown and checkboxes, but that is only for sending feedback from users, not for making a search against the database of posts.

Is this really not possible to do with WordPress, mark the checkboxes for requested tags, and then make a search and get up a list of those posts that have those tags?

Search on categories could work equally good, if it were possible.

Is it not possible to mark a checkbox “motorcycle” and then a checkbox for color “yellow”, and then get up a list of all yellow motorcycles?

If this were possible it should be possible to develop a lot of interesting information system using WordPress. Technically it should be just possible?!

Testing a little bit now..

Using WP Extended Search, I am able to search on only one category or one tag, but I’m not able to combine multiple categories og tags or to choose such items from a menu.

Should it not be possible to use multiple categories og tags using “WP Extended Search”?

Thanks. I tried it but I did not find what I was searching for, or maybe I did not understand how to use it? Don’t know if I used it right was a search field where you can write the text you are searching for.

The main principe will be not to write any text at all, but to have predefined categories or tags on a search form, where you can chose lets say, as an example, 2 out of five tags (from some kind of predefined list:)

-Bicycle
+Motorcycle
+Yellow
-Red
-Blue

No text to write, only mark the selected tags. Selecting Motorcycle and Yellow, should return all yellow motorscycles.

Thanks a lot! My school have used an expensive commersial LMS for years, but the only functions I am actually using is a blog, and an upload function for student assignments.

The blog function can for sure be done with WordPress and I guess the assignment upload as well.

I found some interesting information about “How to publish an online book using WordPress”. (I guess this is quite near up to what I try to do.)

I would believe that this is “kind of use of WordPress that could be interesting for many WordPress users. (Get online with your multimedia book today, using WordPress.)

Here is some information i Googeled that might be good for later use:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-organize-an-online-book-in-wordpress-novel-or-non-fiction/

Some more info for later refference:

Thanks a lot. Actually I knew twentyfiften, but I did not realize that it could be used for this purpose, but it looks like it can, so I will give it a try.

By the way, this is how my “on-line-lessons” looks like just now, using twentytwelve plus a child theme:

https://acbytes.com/reguleringsteknikk/reguleringssloyfen/

What I try to just now is to find a solution that givs a bit bether “navigation” and maybe an “illusion” of “a multimedia text-book on the web”.

I will give it a try with twentyfifteen to se how this will work ( … I guess that the left sidebar design can not be easy modifyied into Twentytwelve … or could it ..?)

After googling and checking a bit, I found a solution that I thin works perfect. Near the end og the wp-config.php file i added this statement:

/** Block external requests */
define(‘WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL’, true);

I found this solution here on this webpage:
https://www.webhostinghero.com/how-to-use-wordpress-offline/

Thanks a lot. This worked just perfect and Google fonts can now be toggled on and off. Great! ??

Thanks a lot, but I belive this solution will not work good enough for this project. It is a “multimedia learning site” with some hundreds of web pages (I guess ca 500 when it is finished,ca 250 now) and the idea is to have a local physical copy of the internet connected server that is more or less identical. It works quite well and content can be exported from the local to the internetconnected server, it is now only this issue with the login to the admin panel and plugin admin that is quite slow.

So the local development server should be “allmost identical” to the internetconnected server, except for the admin panel and the plugin admin panel should not require internet connection.

Thanks a lot !

OK, not really AT ALL so I think some comment outs and renaming will do it ??

Arne.

Thanks a lot for vert quick help. It worked like a dream. Even though it is claimed to be a blog I think it’s the best CMS that I have tried.
