Glad it is working for you. Thanks.

Hi ikarth,

I tried putting a dash in the title and it seemed to work OK. Here is a sample wiki page:

https://www.davidmccan.com/wiki/famous-chess-players/

Note the ‘semi-finals’ link at the bottom.

I read that sometimes if you put a dash in the title that WP changes that to an emdash in the display, so if you are copying the title text and pasting it into the shortcode, maybe try deleting the dash and type it back in … if that makes sense.

Please let me know how it goes.

Hi mythusmage,

Are you able to see the buttons that are described in the article?

Hi mythusmage,

I did some research on hierarchical ordering of pages. The codex says to be careful when using this ability — if you have more than 100 or so pages it can really show things down. I could easily see a wiki having more than 100 pages, so I am hesitant to enable that.

Here is the note from the codex:

hierarchical
(boolean) (optional) Whether the post type is hierarchical (e.g. page). Allows Parent to be specified. The ‘supports’ parameter should contain ‘page-attributes’ to show the parent select box on the editor page.

Default: false

Note: this parameter was planned for Pages. Be careful, when choosing it for your custom post type – if you are planning to have many entries (say – over 100), you will run into memory issue. With this parameter set to true WordPress will fetch all entries of that particular post type, together with all meta data, on each administration page load for your post type.

Hi mythusmage,

There is no ‘reorder page’. I’m assuming you mean reorder the categories. You do that by clicking on edit and then you can change the category relationship.

You are welcome. Thank you for trying it and the feedback.

I’m able to edit the categories and change their parent. I’m not sure what you mean. What plugin are you using?

Hierarchical ordering, like pages have. I see that would be useful. I’ll play around with that.

Hi mythusmage,

This article has screenshots of what the buttons look like:

https://www.davidmccan.com/a-new-wiki-plugin-for-wordpress/

The shortcodes are:

‘[yadawiki link=”” show=””]’

and

‘[yadawikitoc show_toc=”true”]’

If the buttons are not showing up perhaps it is a path issue. What directories do you have WordPress and the wp-content folder in? If it is not the default I can try to reproduce it.

Thanks

Thanks.

Hi mythusmage,

I added an editor pop-up form to make it easier to enter the wiki shortcode.

As I haven’t heard back from you I’ll mark your questions resolved.

Thanks,

David

Hi mythusmage,

Thank you for taking a look at Yada Wiki and giving some good feedback.

In terms of documentation, there are some how-tos in the FAQ section. Are there some instructions I should add to make using it clearer?

There is the ability to use taxonomy categories and tags to help organize your content. As per your suggestion, I just pushed an update to enable hierarchical categories.

Regards,

David

Thank you very much for adding back the last updated date and the theme homepage link.

I’m not a theme author, but I imagine theme authors might like to have a link to their website showing and that might be another reason to keep the author’s URL.

I did check the preview and it is nice that you can collapse the sidebar and I saws that the preview resizes as I resized by browser, so I could see how it looked on different screen sizes. Nice job.

I looked at the Hueman theme preview and there is nothing in either of its sidebars and no menus. I looked at Stargazer and there are also no menus. Also, for what it is worth, it seems like magazine style themes might not show their potential in the preview. Creating demo content to work on all types of themes is a huge challenge. To be fair, I don’t remember that they showed their potential in the preview prior to the change either, but by removing a link to the author’s example, www.ads-software.com kind of takes on that responsibility.

When I was in the theme preview (actual preview), I noticed there are arrows at the top to cycle through the themes in the list. I could only go forward one theme and then it stopped. That might be a bug. I first noticed this on Chrome, where I have a lot of browser extensions, so I tried it on IE, where I have none and got the same behavior.

When you viewed a theme in the old version didn’t it show you the number of support requests that had been resolved recently? Like the ‘last updated’ info, this gave people a sense of how active the theme author is in helping people and keeping the theme updated. Also, it might not be obvious to people that to add a review they should click on the stars-bars. Did there used to be a link for giving a review?

While some of the suggestions in this thread might be really useful for people looking for themes, I’m not sure how many people are going to go to the Subversion repo or Trac. Maybe the ‘Development’ links could be hidden, so when someone clicks on the ‘Development Info’ heading they open and expand down.

The graph at the bottom is pretty cool too.

I realize that this is an iterative process and really do appreciate the effort to modernize it. There is probably more than one way to address concerns and give people what they need when using the theme repository. Thank you for listening to feedback and taking it into consideration.

@konstantin, thank you for fixing the BuddyPress filter.

@konstantin and @otto, I appreciate that there is work being done to improve the theme searching / browsing experience. It is good to have some creative attention on it.

If possible, it would be very nice to see when the theme was last updated. I normally don’t want to consider a theme that has not been kept up to date and I might be interested to take a look at new themes that were recently added. I see I can click on ‘development log’ to see when changes were made, but it is cumbersome to do that for each theme in the list.

It is kind of cool to be able to click on the first one, bring it up in the popup, and then cycle through the list. To stick with my BuddyPress example, I get about 22 results, but some of them are kind of old and BuddyPress has gone through some changes in relation to themes.

I tried clicking ‘latest’ thinking that the returned list might be ordered by more recent changes, but loose the feature filter when selecting those options.

Thank you for the good work and for addressing the feedback.

Could we please see the last date the theme was updated?

Also, I did a search using the feature filter of ‘BuddyPress’ and got themes that were not tagged with BuddyPress.

Thank you
