Design-Update 3.0
The time has finally come… once again… a new design.
Unfortunately, I worked on it for almost exactly one year.
I have changed and renewed a few things and I hope now that this time everything will work better.
So let me start explaining the changes to you:
General Blog Page
The header has changed a bit
Homepage
Anime Blog Page
Otherwise, everything here has remained the same.
Posts
Here we now come to the most elaborate innovation.
The old spoiler function was very outdated and didn’t work very well on most browsers anymore.
I had to remove it and replace it with a new spoiler function that I think should work even better now.
Since I had to edit each post individually, in both languages (80 posts in total), I also had tto spend a lot of time on it.
Pages
Mobile users
Others
Problems
Now for the things that no longer work (for now):
- I couldn’t insert the progress bar under the post status in the header, which was used to see how far I had progressed with the next post.
- Top bar with the advanced search removed for the time being.
- The new search function does not yet work language-dependent.
- Open and close all spoilers with one click, no longer works.
When will these functions be restored?
The following problem exists:
I can’t work on problems 1 – 3 yet.
The thing is, my language plugin, does not work with all the features of the new WordPress version.
This means that I can’t design my header as freely as I would like.
The solution would be to either spend a lot of money on the premium version of the above mentioned language plugin.
Or else, wait and see.
Because WordPress is currently in a new development process.
And the problem with the language will soon solve itself.
The only issue is that it might take a few more months.
Because WordPress is still in phase 2 of its development.
And the language functionality, will be released as late as phase 4.
However, since problems 1 – 3 are rather minor, I hope you can be understanding and a little patient.
For problem 4, unfortunately, I have not yet found a solution.
I would have to read more into whether that would work at all.
Because I would really like to have this function back, as I think it’s very important.
What’s next?
I plan to create a Discord server to create a small community, maybe even a little more active, and where the community can help each other among themselves, other new visitors and maybe even me.
There I have the possibility to create different areas:
So, as you can see, I’ve finally managed to do quite a bit on the site in the last few months.
And I am currently also really motivated to continue to work on it and fill the site again with new anime posts.
I hope you like the new design and especially that it will work better with your browser.
This was a lot of work, but it was also fun.
Let’s see how much I can do this year! ????
