Kind: Notes

It would be really awesome if, when paging through a wxr file, WordPress would print specific errors instead of just "failed to import post".

If you're a WordPress plugin developer, and you add invalid hrefs via JS to your UI, thus making it impossible to click an item while using a keyboard, I hate you so much right now. Learn HTML FFS because honestly having to try to hack around problems exacerbated by inaccessibility is getting fucking old. No love: me.

In completely unrelated news, this series John and I are reading has been good for the most part, but I think we're to the point where the author is starting to get lazy with both his characters, (specifically the villains), and now his plotlines. #bookstodon

All right so I'll need to do some cowboy coding on the old box, but I'll save that for later I think because it isn't true cowboy coding unless there are drinks involved, and honestly at this point the worst that can happen is I do not achieve a successful migration. Which is where we're at now anyway so I'll just pour myself a drink later on and do this.

Right about now I'm incredibly glad I keep a code stash, because I just found a snippet that will let me export posts according to taxonomy, custom or otherwise.

OK. I will need to come up with plan I've lost count, but for now at least I have backups of everything that I can hopefully eventually restore. I think I still need to install Composer on the new box, and WPCli has saved at least some of it.

Get in #fedizens we're doing Monday. I hope everyone had a good weekend. This site migration is not going well, 0 stars, do not recommend, mostly because php keeps choking on the WordPress import file. I think I've given php as much memory as can safely be afforded. Oh well I'll keep fiddling with it.

Just not doing computer things.

Aw man sending you internet hugs.

That feeling when you go to create a post on the new version of your old site and you're still finding things like "Oh I forgot to turn off the visual editor"
