August 4. Here are two ways to show a PDF on a page using the plug-in PDF Embedder:
(1) Add a “file” block, then select a PDF from the media library or upload it from your computer (which will put it in the media library.)
(2) Insert a “PDF Embedder” block. This gives a slightly different display but also seems to work.
I haven’t decided which display I prefer. The second way results in a nice 8.5×11 page size but you would need to add a download link manually. For an example, see the post on the 2021 Fall Preview. For an example of using the “file” route, see the 2021 Fall Catalog page.
August 3. The installed theme is the free version of Astra. You can do a lot with this theme that other themes do not allow. For example, you can customize typography. There are quite complex header- and footer-builders. I’m trying to start the footer.
July 30. I have gotten the content, more or less, from the old site, using Tisha’s May export. I am reorganizing the pages into some kind of manageable hierarchy. I am pushing a lot of archival stuff, which is full of broken links and inconsistencies, down to the bottom of the hierarchy as “ZZZ Archival Pages”, which I will fix some day.
A current readable, clickable list of pages in their hierarchy is at https://lirstaging.dreamhosters.com/kc-demo-pages/list-pages/. This is what you get by inserting a “list-pages” block. I don’t think there are any options associated with this block; it’s not like the “list-pages” short-code available on wordpress.com. For that I am looking at some plug-ins.
July 26. I am trying to get some content from the old site onto this site. I have installed the Astra theme, which is very flexible.
