Footnotes optimized for desktop and mobile, inspired by the styles of Grantland and FiveThirtyEight.

On desktop, footnotes will appear as a tooltip when the user clicks on the number. On mobile, footnotes will expand as a section below the current text.
The Gutenberg editor gives you a visual interface that makes it easy for you to compose a page or post. However, many people still edit their content using the code editor. Fortunately, the code editor is still present within the Gutenberg editor. You can edit the entire post or page as code, or you can edit individual blocks as code. We will show you how to use the code editor in the Gutenberg editor using a sample post.
If you want to learn how to use the code editor on the classic editor, you can learn how to do so here.
USING THE CODE EDITOR TO EDIT AN INDIVIDUAL BLOCK
In order to access the code for an individual block you will need to be logged into the WordPress Administrator Dashboard. Open the page or post that you wish to edit using the Gutenberg editor.
Click on the block that you wish to edit with the code editor.
To the the right of the block you will see 3 vertical dots. Click on the dots.
A pop-up menu will appear. Click on the option labeled Edit as HTML.
You will then see the block displayed in code. Make your changes or additions to the block.
Once you are finished, you will need to click on the Update or Publish options in the top right corner of the editor in order to save your changes. Note that if you wish to see the block in the visual editor after the changes, simply click on the 3 vertical dots again and then click on option labeled Edit Visually.
WordPress authors have the option to create pages and posts in a Visual Editor or a Text Editor. While the Visual Editor does a reasonably good job with its toolbar options and easy editing environment, the use of the Text Editor allows maximum flexibility on how to organize content.
Let me explain not just why you’d want to use the Text Editor (in place of the Visual Editor), but how easy it can be to use.
Why might you prefer the Text Editor?
Your content will make more sense for your readers and search engines.
You only need to know a few HTML tags to make the Text Editor very useful.
You can apply CSS style properties directly to your HTML code.
What Happens When You Use The Visual Editor?
When you add copy, media or links to your Visual Editor you’re really adding HTML to your page or post. It all takes place under the hood.
Not sure what I mean? Try this.
Add some content by copying and pasting something in the Visual Editor. Then select the Text tab. What you’ll be looking at is HTML. Just like with the Visual Editor, you can edit your HTML code directly with the Text Editor.
In fact, you can do a lot more with the Text Editor than you can with the Visual Editor. This makes working in text mode not just more productive but more satisfying too. You’ll be able to more accurately markup your content which will benefit your readers and boost your SEO efforts.
HTML is about as straightforward as it gets. Every web page, including those generated by WordPress, use it.
You can create menus in WordPress by visiting Appearance » Menus in your WordPress admin area.
This will bring you to the Edit Menus screen which is divided into two columns. The column on your left has your pages, categories, and custom links tab. The column on the right is where you add and adjust menu items.
Let’s create your first custom navigation menu.
Provide a name for your menu, e.g. ‘My First Menu’ and then click on the create menu button. This will expand the menu area, and it will look like this:
As you can see in the screenshot, our demo site has three theme locations labeled primary, secondary, and social. The location names and placements vary from theme to theme.
Next, you need to select the pages you want to add to the menu. You can do this by selecting the pages listed on the left hand side and clicking on Add to Menu button.
After adding pages to the menu, select the theme location where you want to display the menu and click on the ‘Save Menu’ button.
Don’t worry if you’re unsure where each menu location is on your site. You can visit the website to see the menu in action. If you don’t like it, then you can always change the menu location.
Arranging Items in a Custom Navigation Menu
You probably noticed that each menu item you added is arranged in the order you added them. For example, your about link appears at the end, while the contact page link appears first. Don’t worry you can easily rearrange your WordPress menu items in any order you want.
Simply drag and drop a menu item to adjust its position in the menu.
Repeat the process to create new menus for other theme locations.
Creating Nested Drop-Down Menus in WordPress
Nested menus, also known as drop-down menus, are navigational menus with parent and child menu items. These menus are usually styled by WordPress themes in such a way that when a user takes their mouse to a parent item, all their sub-menus are displayed.
Creating nested menus allow you to add a properly structured navigation system to your site. Here is how you can add a menu item as a sub-menu in WordPress.
In your menu structure, drag the menu item just below the parent item. Next, slightly drag the menu item to the right. You will notice that it will automatically become a sub-menu item.
You can add multiple layers of sub-items to create deeply nested navigation menus. However, it’s important to note that not all themes support multi-layer nested menus. Most do up to 2-layers.
Adding Categories to WordPress Menus
If you’re using WordPress to run a blog, then you can add your blog categories as a drop-down in your WordPress menu.
By default, WordPress provides an easier way to add pages and categories from the left-hand column on the menu editor screen.
Start by clicking on the Categories tab to expand it. You will see your blog categories listed there. Simply select the categories you want to add to the menu, and then click on add to menu button.
You will notice that categories will appear as menu items under menu structure column. Just like pages, you can simply drag and drop them to arrange their position on the menu. In this example, we have dragged all categories to appear as sub-menu items under the Blog.
Adding Custom Links to Your WordPress Navigation Menus
While adding categories and pages is easy, what if you want to add a link to your social media profile or another location? This is when you can use the custom link option.
Simply click on the custom link tab in the left-hand column to expand it. You will notice that it only has two fields. The first one is for URL where you will need to add the actual link you want to add. The second field is labeled link text where you will add the anchor text for the link.
Note: It’s important that you must start all links with http:// or https://. If you don’t, then the links will be broken.
Editing a Menu Item in WordPress Navigation Menus
When you add pages or categories to your custom navigation menu, WordPress automatically uses the page title or category name as the link text. This does not mean that you cannot change it.
All menu items can be edited by simply clicking on the downward arrow next to a menu item.
Here you can change the menu’s navigational title or link text. You can also add a title attribute to the link. Don’t forget to click on the save menu button to store your changes before previewing your website.
Removing a Link From Navigation Menus in WordPress
You can remove a link in the same way you edit them. Just click on the downward arrow icon next to a menu item, and you will notice a red Remove link. When you clicking on it, the link will be removed from your navigation menus.
Understanding Theme Locations For Your Navigation Menus
Navigation Menus are a theme feature in WordPress. Their appearance and display is controlled entirely by your WordPress theme. The admin area only provides a user interface to add and manage those menus. The theme we were using Only had two menu settings available, Primary Menu, and Social Menu. We can change our theme to “TwentyFourteen” to show an example of two menu bars. If you would like to learn how to change your theme, please check out the following article.
WordPress themes usually have at least one theme location for navigation menus. However, some themes may have more than one theme locations such as the theme TwenyFourteen which has two theme locations primary, secondary menus.
Also it’s important to note that the names of these menu locations would also vary from theme to theme. While some may call it primary another may call it header. It’s entirely based on theme developer’s preference.

Here on Sites, we offer different ways for a user to change the typography on their site. In this article, we will go through the different methods to do so.
What is Typography?
Web typography refers to the use of fonts on the World Wide Web. When HTML was first created, font faces and styles were controlled exclusively by the settings of each web browser.
With WordPress, you have the ability to change these settings in a handful of different ways.
How to Change Font Size, Color, Family & Style in Elementor Page Builder
Many Elementor Widgets offer the ability to edit text color and typography settings. These design options are located in the widgets’ Style tab.
Style
Text Color: Choose the color of your text
Under the Widget Setting > Style, click the icon to access the typography settings.
Typography
Family – Choose your font family
Size – Choose a size for your font
Weight – Choose the weight of the font
Transform – Choose the Transform properties for the font
Style – Choose between Normal, Italic, and Oblique
Decoration – Choose the text Decoration

Add a map generated with LeafletJS: an open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. Map tiles are provided by default through OpenStreetMap, or MapQuest (with an app key). Can be set per map with shortcode attributes or through the dashboard settings.
MAPS
Simply create a map with:
[leaflet-map]
Lookup an address with:
[leaflet-map address="chicago"]
Know the latitude and longitude of a location? Use them (and a zoom level) with:
[leaflet-map lat=44.67 lng=-63.61 zoom=5]
Add a marker under your map shortcode, like so:
[leaflet-map]
[leaflet-marker]
Want more? Make more (and fit the map to contain all of them):
Add a link to the popup messages the same way you would add any other link with the WordPress editor.
OTHER SHAPES, GEOJSON, AND KML
Add a line to the map by adding [leaflet-line]. You can specify the postions with a list separated by semi-colon ; or bar | using lat/lng: [leaflet-line latlngs="41, 29; 44, 18"] or addresses: [leaflet-line addresses="Istanbul; Sarajevo"], or x/y coordinates for image maps.
Add a circle to the map by adding [leaflet-circle]. You can specify the position using lat and lng and the radius in meters using radius. You can also customize the style using Leaflet’s Path options. Example: [leaflet-circle message="max distance" lng=5.117909610271454 lat=52.097914814706094 radius=17500 color="#0DC143" fillOpacity=0.1].
Or you can add a geojson shape via a url (make sure you are allowed to access it if it’s not hosted on your own server): [leaflet-geojson src="https://example.com/path/to.geojson"]. Add custom popups with field names; try out the default src file and fields like so (note fitbounds needs to be on leaflet-geojson (for now)):
[leaflet-map]
[leaflet-geojson fitbounds]{name}[/leaflet-geojson]
name is a property on that GeoJSON, and it can be accessed with curly brackets and the property name.
IMAGE MAPS
Alternatively, you could use a plain image for visitors to zoom and pan around with [leaflet-image src="path/to/image/file.jpg"]. See screenshots 3 – 5 for help setting that up.

Installation
Activate the ‘Relevanssi Premium’ plugin on your desired site.
After enabling, check Settings > Relevanssi to adjust the settings and build the index.
Search widget
Relevanssi doesn’t come with a search widget. You can use the default WordPress search widget or any other method that generates a standards-compliant search form.
Attachments
Attachments tab
Attachment tab handles the PDF content reading. If you have PDF files in your Media Library, Relevanssi can read in the PDF contents so that they are available for indexing.
In order to read the contents of the PDFs, the files are sent over to Relevanssiservices.com, a PDF processing service hosted on a Digital Ocean Droplet in the USA. The service creates a working copy of the files. The copy is removed after the file has been processed, but there are no guarantees that someone with an access to the server couldn’t see the files. Do not read files with confidential information in them. In order to block individual files from reading, use the Relevanssi post controls on attachment edit page to exclude attachment posts from indexing.
Read all unread PDFs reads in all the PDF content in attachments. This does not wipe the index, and will only process those PDFs which haven’t been read yet. If reading the PDF caused an error message before, the PDF will be skipped, unless the error message is a time out, in which case it’s attempted again.
Reset all PDF data from the posts will empty out the PDF information from the posts. It is stored in the attachment metadata: content in _relevanssi_pdf_content and errors in _relevanssi_pdf_error. Clicking this button will wipe these custom fields empty.
Upload PDF files
By default Relevanssi sends a link to the PDF to the reading service, which then downloads the PDF and reads it. However, if your files are behind a firewall, in an intranet or otherwise not accessible from the outside world, this is not going to work. In that case, check this option, and Relevanssi will upload the files directly.
Link to PDFs
If you decide to have attachments in search results (by indexing the attachment post type), by default the links in search results pages will lead to the attachment page. That’s often less than helpful, as it’ll take one more click to reach the actual PDF. Enabling this option will make the search results pages link directly to the PDF file.
Searching
Searching tab
Default operator
OR search will return all posts where at least one of the search terms appears. AND search will only return posts that have all search terms in them. OR search will prefer posts that have all search terms in them, so in most cases it is the better option.
Fallback to OR
If you have chosen AND as the default operator and the search finds no results, Relevanssi will perform an OR search with the same search terms. If you want to disable this, check this option.
Default order
By default Relevanssi orders results by relevance, trying to put the most relevant results first. This makes a lot of sense. Some people prefer other methods. From the settings page, you can choose post date order, most recent posts first. If you want other orderings, you can use the orderby parameter. For multiple levels of ordering, Relevanssi supports array orderby.
Keyword matching
Relevanssi can match whole words or partial words. Matching whole words means only complete words are matched. If you search for “ledge”, you will only find documents that contain the word “ledge”. Partial words also matches parts of words, so searching for “ledge” will also finds documents that contain words “knowledge” and “ledger”.
The search term has to be either in the beginning or the end of the word, so searching for “ion” will find “caution” or “ionized”, but not “cautionary”.
Weights
Here you can adjust weights for different features like post titles, tags, comments, different post types or taxonomies. Some of these adjustments are Premium only. All the weights work the same way: they are multipliers, so 1 keeps the weight neutral compared to everything else, below 1 makes the weight smaller and values over 1 make the particular item weigh heavier in the matching.
If you want to emphasize something, don’t be afraid of using big numbers. If you want to make sure that posts with the search terms in titles come up in the search, slap a weight of 100 or 1000 for the titles. Subtlety is overrated.
Recent posts bonus cutoff
If you’ve added extra weight for recent posts, this option determines which posts are considered recent.
Admin search
If you enable this option, Relevanssi will be enabled for admin searches. Otherwise default WordPress search will be used in all searches in the admin interface. Admin searches may not always work very smoothly. For example page search will not use Relevanssi, because that’s just how WordPress works.
Respect exclude_from_search
If you check this option, custom post types which have exclude_from_search set to true will be excluded from the search. If the option is unchecked, Relevanssi won’t respect that setting and will search anything that is indexed.
Throttle searches
On large sites searches can become heavy to process, particularly when there are common words involved. Relevanssi has to load every post that is found by any search term, and that can require lots of memory. In most cases, the user only cares about the few posts on the first page of search results.
This option will restrict Relevanssi to only first 500 posts per search term. Relevanssi will only take the first 500 posts per search term, so the maximum number of posts Relevanssi will load in memory is 500 times the number of search terms. The 500 posts are chosen with some sense, so it is very likely the best posts are within those 500 posts. This way the search becomes more effective and less memory-intensive. On a small site this option isn’t necessary – if a single search term finds less than 500 posts, the limit of 500 doesn’t make any difference – but on a large site this is very useful option, and I recommend you use this option all the time.
Do note that choosing the probably best posts only works with the relevance ordering. If your order posts by date, it is quite likely the limit will drop out useful posts. If you need to have the limit and you want posts ordered by date, I suggest you set Relevanssi to relevance order, use a limit and then use orderby parameter to sort the results by date.
