This is a child theme of the UW WordPress Theme with modifications made specifically in mind for the UW Blogs Network.
- Changed
the_excerpt
tothe_content
forhome.php
, which shows the full post content on a home page instead of the unformatted excerpts. - Show previous/next links at bottom of home page and category/tag/archive pages, as relevant.
- Show previous/next links at bottom of individual posts, as relevant.
- Removed menu inherentance. As originally set up, any blog using the UW WordPress Theme would inherit its menus from the default blog if it did not have a primary menu already defined (it assumes it's also running in a multisite install). This is not desired as the default blog often has specialized menus that would confuse users. Instead, if no primary menu is defined, it will show a blank bar.
- Updated the weather and banner URLs to use the theme folder as "UW-Wordpress-Theme" rather than 'uw,' and changed their link structure slightly.
- As with the parent theme, this theme does not show the blog title when viewed from a desktop. It is assumed that users would want to change their header image or upload a new text to replace "University of Washington" if they wanted to brand their page. I would like to allow users to choose a text-based option.
- Properly fallback to wp_page_nav when there is no primary menu set. However, additional CSS tweaks would need to be made to properly support this as wp_page_nav is rather cripped.
