  • Insert WorkCast to WordPress

    Insert WorkCast to WordPress

    One of my clients tasked me to implement WorkCast as one of their WordPress pages.  The issue I ran into with their Product Owner was that:

    • Not all WordPress pages should have the CSS/JS code.  This will conflict with WordPress' jQuery.
    • "Copy/Pasting" WorkCast into a WordPress editor page didn't work.  The page came up blank.  I'm suspecting this is because of JS conflicts with the WP theme.

    Solution

    I wrote a plugin that injects a "Theme Template" into any of WordPress Pages.  The user simply chooses "WorkCast" as the page template to utilize WorkCast.

    This solution is currently configured to work for Swords-To-Plowshares.org.  If you're interested on how it was done, head on over here.

  • WooCommerce Module for Taxes!

    I found a plugin that helps with product taxes for WooCommerce:

    TaxJar.com

    What I like about this plugin is that it keeps the tax database up to date without having to update the tax table.

    It has more support for other shopping cart software other than WooCommerce too!

  • Location of woocommerce.php on WordPress

    I’ve built several WordPress themes.  One of my recent projects required WooCommerce to be embedded with my theme.

    I like to organize my PHP files to keep my theme folder organized.  For woocommerce.php, it needs to be on the root of the theme folder.

    Important information that I didn’t find using my Googling powers.
