General WordPress Notes

Basic

Media Library

  • Images are attached to post editor content by file name/url.
    • If the image is deleted from the media library, the html code referencing that file will remain. When the image is added again with the same file name, it will reappear in the post.
  • Featured images are associated to posts by ID, not by file name. Deleting an image from the media library and re-adding it will not upload it back to the post as a featured image.
    • Add a featured image to a post. I hoped that deleting that image from the media library and re-uploading it

Permalinks

  • Use Simple 301 Redirects to manually correct for global permalink changes. Does not “sense” changes to permalinks.
  • Yoast has a tool for generating htacess codes that handle mass redirect rules.

Menus

  • Export Import Menus plugin by Akshay Menariya mostly works but gave me some broken page references.
