When pasting text into the WordPress classic editor, the default behavior is to keep the formatting of the pasted content. The keeps things like links working, but it also keeps font colors, sizes, and other formatting that may be undesirable.

Read MoreBeaver Builder has a top level menu item in the WordPress admin menu. However, it doesn’t allow new menu items to be added using the standard WordPress methods. After reading a bunch of the Beaver Builder code base, I was able to find the filter that handles the submenu items in the /extensions/fl-builder-user-templates/classes/class-fl-builder-user-templates-admin-menu.php file.

Read MoreFor some reason, Beaver Builder’s video lightbox opens quite small, even on large screens. I wanted the lightbox to take up most of the screen, so I used the following CSS to make that happen: .mfp-iframe-holder .mfp-content { max-width: 95%; aspect-ratio: 16/9; height: auto; } @media (min-aspect-ratio: 16/9) { .mfp-iframe-holder .mfp-content { height: 95%; aspect-ratio: […]

Among people working in the accessibility field, overlays like Accessibe have such a bad reputation that 700 specialists have signed the Overlay Fact Sheet (https://overlayfactsheet.com/) explaining the pitfalls of accessibility overlays. In my own testing, I’ve noticed […]
Read MoreBy default, the SmartSlider3 plugin only allows administrators to create/edit/delete sliders. In many cases, administrators may want to grant editors the ability to manage sliders. To do that, the following code can be placed in the active theme’s functions.php file (or in a plugin). /** * Give editors access to SmartSlider3 * * @see: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/users/roles-and-capabilities/ […]
Read MoreToday I ran across a strange situation where the dev tools for Chrome and Firefox were reporting different background color values for the same button. They were both reporting that the relevant CSS was in the same location, so it wasn’t a matter of a difference in cascade/priority. I changed the color value in the […]
Read MoreCSS hover states are pretty obviously targeted at mouse inputs, but are applied in strange ways to touch inputs as well. Thankfully, all modern browsers now support input-based media queries. This allows us to apply our hover states only to devices that truly support hover states. Here is the code that makes it work: @media(hover: […]
