Migrating an existing site to Gutenberg, day 2, second note. I got Xampp running, and am attempting to use Bitnami to install WordPress. The Bitnami page runs better in NVDA than it does in Jaws, but the download still won’t start, so we’ll be installing this manually.

I’m going to download all the necessary stuff so that John can avoid the surprise of trying to use Bitnami with Jaws and Firefox.

You can’t tab through the page, and updating the virtual buffer is a no-go.

Even in NVDA, once you select a download, you can’t tab through the page.

Might have to see if there’s another way to do this.

Migrating an existing site to Gutenberg, day 2, first note:

This is day 2 because I ended up not working on this on Thursday and Friday of last week. I’m back at it today though.

And today’s first task: Fighting with Xampp on Windows.

I was thinking about attempting this with Desktop Server since it’s already installed, but since we’re doing the Gutenberg thing may as well do it properly with no shortcuts.

So far I have it installed but am having difficulty getting it running, (user account control appears to be the bane of my existence), but will keep trying and hopefully will have something to say once it’s running properly.

Next is installing all the tools.
