Latest postshttps://astro-wpress.ncvp.me/https://astro-wpress.ncvp.me/subtle-changes/https://astro-wpress.ncvp.me/subtle-changes/Applied the standard fix to the database to set everything to utf8mb4_general_ci. That made the ASCII art in the post about Astro routing work. Renamed the database to admin2_ncvp_me_wp. Had to apply admin2_17926 user privileges to new database. I don't remember having to do that before. Re-applied box-sizing: border-box to ncvp-class style.css. That fixed the […] Tue, 12 May 2026 16:51:07 GMThttps://astro-wpress.ncvp.me/test-cats/https://astro-wpress.ncvp.me/test-cats/Test Astro generated tag line. WordPress forces a post to be in at least one category. 1, 2 and 3 categories display perfectly. Date looks good.

Categories are hierarchical (parent/child), while tags are not. In practice individual sites will have their own guidelines for how to use […] Fri, 08 May 2026 06:43:48 GMThttps://astro-wpress.ncvp.me/sort-out-astro-wpress-routing/https://astro-wpress.ncvp.me/sort-out-astro-wpress-routing/This is all about the mapping between site-url/xxxx/yyyy/zzzz and Astro pages. Even though there are no files in the /src/pages tree, the magic files [slug].astro, [...path].astro perform the same sort of rôle as if there were.

They can be made to pop out or not with the use of link="file" or link="none". Control over size is limited to Large, Medium or Thumbnail, but this is often sufficient. Some HTML is required to […] Mon, 19 Feb 2024 10:45:16 GMThttps://astro-wpress.ncvp.me/different-menus-on-different-pages/https://astro-wpress.ncvp.me/different-menus-on-different-pages/If these can be made to work smoothly I may not need a hybrid site, like my new garden, but look carefully at Planting Plans.
