This post is a work in progress as I continue building theskatefarmcic.co.uk

See previous post on setting up Wordpress as a vanilla install using on my Proxmox Home Lab with nginx reverse proxy and certbot for SSL.

Pages

I want a single page website, so in Wordpress lets set that up:

Pages, Create new Page, Home Page

Settings, Reading, static page, Home Page.

Wordpress New Theme - disable auto-formatting

https://github.com/djhmateer/wordpress-blank-theme

I’m using a custom theme (which is very raw as I want to do all the design work in straigh html then just copy it to WP).

But I need to disable the addition of adding line feeds.

# in functions.php
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );

upload to wp-content/themes/my_custom_theme

chmod the folder so can write to it, and ftp to it. This is useful to make changes to the theme.

Or I could zip the files and: Appearance, Theme to add to wordpress.

Plugins, Add, Classic Editor

Use raw html, vs code and live server for immediate results. CSS is classes with TailwindCSS.
