Lately, I’ve done a few things with the jQuery UI Dialog:
However, out of the box, the popup is not responsive. Since the height and width of the dialog modal are set in JavaScript, I wanted to make sure that I was able to change the width and height there too.

I’ve been doing some work for a client, helping her to get her e-commerce products SEO’d and understand a little better about the SEO landscape. She’s using the Yoast SEO plugin (a good choice!), but I want to make sure she (and now you!) know how she can not only make sure her site and products are optimized for search engines, but also what do doing going forward to increase her traffic.

About 4.5 years ago, my life changed…
Affiliate marketing and passive income was all the rage. Who doesn’t want to make money while they sleep? So I gave it a shot, and started building these simple sites on something called WordPress. I started using WordPress simply to get good looking sites up in a couple of hours. However, I quickly realized I loved building the sites more than the marketing. I started customizing themes with basic CSS and some copy-paste snippets. Then I found the Genesis Framework and followed a tutorial to build my first custom child theme. I was hooked!

Routing is part of the magic of web applications, and not something that we really think about when we’re developing WordPress sites since it’s basically taken care of for us in using the nav menu and full on links with page reloading. But this project was all about skipping the page load, and having a view area that will dynamically load posts and pages, an “app-like state” some might say.
Using Genesis and Angular to display posts and pages in an app-like state wasn’t super straightforward. While it opened a few extra cans of worms I wasn’t expecting, adding routing for both posts and pages has proven to be super interesting, and got me digging into WP core as well to find some answers.
Let’s review the goals of this project:
Primary objective: Create a view area that will display all the contents of posts and pages without a page reload using Genesis and Angular.
Do this by:
Ok, this is going to be a bit of a beast, so let’s get truckin’…

In my last post on the subject, we left off with two-way bindings to show that our Angular markup was working in Genesis. That’s great! But we want to use Angular to display content in Genesis using the WP REST API, right?
Ok, so, we’ve got some work cut out for us. Let’s dive back in. Unless otherwise noted, everything is in functions.php and custom.js
Note: this is not best practice, as you want to keep your code in modular files, but hey, this is just a quick bootstrapping example… We’re just learning here!
Let’s get start…

I was working on a client’s site recently, and they sent me a screen shot with their address in the header of the site, saying the postal code was off center.
At first I thought I had messed up my Sass styles on the media query for small screens.
Then, I realized what was going on: Safari in iOS was highjacking the phone number linking styles so it could click to call!
Thanks GIPHY!
Anyway, I took to Google, and this is a common problem.
So, here’s what I did…
