If you move a WordPress installation with the WordPress Toolkit, the GUIDs are not updated. The GUIDs are used by WordPress in the RSS feeds.
If you want to drag the GUIDs, you can do it again with the following SQL command:
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE (guid, 'https://old-domain.com', 'https://new-domain.com');wp_posts must of course be replaced by the actual table name if you use a cryptic table prefix.
To remove the header from the page completely from the DOM, you need the following code:
add_action( 'genesis_title', 'cw_remove_header_right_widget', 9 );
function cw_remove_header_right_widget() {
remove_action('genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_open', 5);
remove_action('genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header');
remove_action('genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_close', 15);
}With the following code, you can remove the header element on the home page:
add_action( 'genesis_title', 'cw_remove_header_right_widget', 9 );
function cw_remove_header_right_widget() {
if ( is_front_page() ) {
remove_action('genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_open', 5);
remove_action('genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header');
remove_action('genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_close', 15);
}
}Note: The code was tested with the Genesis sample theme. Should work for most Genesis themes though.
The Munich Regional Court ruled on January 20, 2022 that the integration of fonts via Google servers is not in compliance with data protection laws(link to the ruling, news article on the ruling).
When loading Google fonts from Google servers, the IP address of the website visitor is transmitted to the Google server. The IP address belongs to the so-called personal data. Before this data is passed on to third parties, the user’s consent is required.
After judgment of LG Munich v. 20.01.2022, there have already been warnings from page operators (see article of golem.de from 09.08.2022).
Before the Google Fonts are loaded, a so-called Consent dialog (selection dialog for agreeing or disagreeing with data transfer) is displayed. If the visitor agrees, the Google fonts can be loaded from the Google URL. However, if consent is not given, the writings may not be loaded.
Important: The URLs from Google must not be loaded in any case before the consent. This is often done wrong when including the Consent dialog!
The problem with this solution is that when the font is rejected, it is not present and thus the website is displayed for the visitor in the default font (corporate identity not given!). Since there is a better solution (see solution 2) I do not recommend disturbing visitors with dialogs.
Google offers the Google Fonts for download and allows them to be placed on the website’s web hosting server.
How can this be done on your own
Step 1: Use google-webfonts-helper to download the fonts you want to use on your website.
Step 2: If you use a WordPress theme, you have to make the theme stop using the styles that use the Google URLs. Some themes or page builders have an option for this. If this is not the case, it must happen programmatically.
How this works in the Genesis Sample Theme is explained here.
Step 3: The fonts downloaded from step 1 and the style that embeds the fonts are placed in a folder in the web hosting.
Step 4: The style (.css file) is included in the theme.
Ready! Already the Google fonts load from their own address and no longer via Google. Thus, the page is in this point again DSGVO compliant.
Many website and blog owners ask themselves, how can I embed a YouTube video without taking legal risks. DSGVO compliance has become an important topic, not only since the well-known ruling of 20.01.2022 concerning DSGVO violations when embedding Google Fonts.
This article presents a variant to embed YouTube videos as required by the GDPR. This means that content from YouTube will only be loaded when you confirm. This prevents the unsolicited transmission of data to the Google group, when loading the page.
Attention: The article does not replace the thorough legal clarification of the website with regard to GDPR. It is only intended to be a guide to the best of our knowledge and belief.
As mentioned above, when embedding YouTube videos without taking precautions for data protection, the visitor’s IP address is transmitted to Google/YouTube. According to DSGVO, the IP address belongs to the so-called personal data and may not be disclosed to third parties without consent and legitimate interest.
The installation of WP YouTube Lyte works like any other plugin:
After the plugin installation, a new menu item will appear in “WP YouTube Lyte” in WordPress. The settings are made there.
If you want to deactivate the toolbar for your own profile, click on “Users” ” “Your Profile” in the upper right corner of the WordPress admin interface and then deactivate the item “Show toolbar for me on the website” in the middle on the right.
However, if you want to hide the toolbar when previewing a page that is being edited, this can be solved with the following code:
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', 'show_admin_bar_if_not_preview' );
function show_admin_bar_if_not_preview($show_admin_bar) {
return ( is_preview() ) ? false : $show_admin_bar;
}add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');
There are several ways to remove or hide your primary and secondary navigation menus using the Genesis framework in WordPress.
The easy way is to hook into the execution via an action and remove the action responsible for the menu. To prevent the navigation menus from disappearing on all pages, a check is made beforehand to determine on which page the execution is currently taking place.
add_action('get_header', 'cw_child_remove_genesis_do_nav');
function cw_child_remove_genesis_do_nav() {
if (is_home()) {
remove_action('genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_nav');
}
}If the primary navigation menu is included after the header, instead of genesis_before_header, genesis_after_header is used with remove_action (code line 4).
Sometimes it is also necessary to specify a priority parameter, as in the case of the genesis-sample-theme, if the action was registered with a priority. Line 4 then looks like this:
remove_action('genesis_header', 'genesis_do_nav', 12);And already it works with the sample theme from Genesis.
add_action('get_header', 'cw_child_remove_genesis_do_subnav');
function cw_child_remove_genesis_do_subnav() {
if (is_home()) {
remove_action('genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_subnav');
}
}First, the ID of the page or post must be known. You can see them in the URL of the edit dialog of the page.
The code to remove the main menu from the page with ID 7 looks like this:
function cw_remove_genesis_do_nav() {
if (is_page(7) ) {
remove_action('genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav');
}
}
add_action('get_header', 'cw_remove_genesis_do_nav');
