Deze plugin **is niet getest met de laatste drie grote versies van WordPress**. 
Mogelijk wordt het niet meer onderhouden of ondersteund. Er kunnen ook compatibiliteitsproblemen
ontstaan wanneer het wordt gebruikt met recentere versies van WordPress.

## Beschrijving

Customize your WordPress website even more to your needs via **simple admin settings**
instead of code modifications.

Setting up new websites from time to time I realized, that I keep using **similar
sets of modifications over and over again**. This plugin gives you a wide range 
of modifications at hand **without any core or theme code changes** – making them
persistent across updates or switching to another theme.

th23 Specials core features include (all available as options in admin dashboard):

 * Mail sending via **SMTP server** instead of default PHP mail function – and with
   custom subject prefix
 * **Revision and edit restrictions** for posts and pages
 * **Highlighting in titles** of posts and pages – for custom styling via theme
 * **Category selection** via radio button, forcing single category assignment and
   option to restrict available categories – via Classic and Gutenberg / Block editor
 * **Excerpts** for pages
 * **Sticky posts** also sticky on archive pages
 * Disabling **author links and archives**
 * Enforcing usage of **more tag / block / separator** in posts and pages – preventing
   too long full text display on home and overview pages
 * Disable various **headers** – core version info, links, jQuery Migrate, inline
   CSS, emojis, oEmbed, legacy contact options

#### Usage

Simply install plugin and choose customizations required from the plugin settings
page. Few options involve further actions to achieve required result – **see below
and FAQ section** for more details.

For **highlighting in post / page titles**, put part to highlight in between `*matching
stars*` in the editor. This part will be enclosed by `<span></span>` tags in the
HTML on the frontend, allowing styling by theme via the CSS selector `.entry-title
span`.

#### NOTE

Some options change important core functionality of WordPress – make sure you **
properly test your website** before usage in production environment!

## Installatie

For a manual installation upload extracted `th23-specials` folder to your `wp-content/
plugins` directory.

The plugin is **configured via its settings page in the admin area**. Find all options
under `Settings` -> `th23 Specials`. The options come with a description of the 
setting and its behavior directly next to the respective settings field.

## FAQ

### Is there a way to identify existing posts / pages that do not comply with the one category only requirement or that are missing the “read more” block / tag?

Yes, there are links in the descriptions on the th23 Specials settings page, **next
to the respective option** to search for “non-compliant” posts / pages.

Upon a click on this link you will see all currently non-compliant posts / pages.
You can modify these by clicking on their titles, which loads them into your default
editor.

### Some settings seem to have no effect – eg oEmbed features are still active depsite deactivated?

This might be happening as **some options can be “overruled”** by settings by your
theme. For settings that might be affected, please see the description on the settings
page.

To change such settings, please **check your active theme** and adjust them there,
if required.
