Others

  • Create action or method is_rest and use this method instead of ! is_admin()
  • Improve Site management engine (unify Site URL and REST API URL fields)
  • Add CSS class to body of edit page to make visual changes (hide fields) on remote sites
  • Avoid that the meta REPLICAST_OBJECT_INFO field is returned by the remote site at requests by the central site
  • Validate mandatory fields when a new "Site" is created
  • Improve admin messages' management mechanism
  • Improve log mechanism

Notes

  • Attachments meta fields only synchronize in a second request. This happens because the /media endpoint only accepts the media file during the creation request, ignoring additional data that may be present in the request.
  • How to handle posts that were deleted in a remote site 
    Client error: `DELETE http://yoursiteurl/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/3604` resulted in a `410 Gone` response: {"code":"rest_already_deleted","message":"The post has already been deleted.","data":{"status":410}} 
410: Gone

Contributions

Contribuitons are most welcome in their natural form of Pull Requests, the following guidelines are just to keep things flowing with ease:

  • If it's something new, make sure it's not hidden somewhere in here already or that we didn't dismiss it for something else.
  • Make sure you supply some arguments for the benefits/advantages your change provides.
