WordPress: Page Editor Upgrade

Neil White 2nd June 202026th May 2020 Featured, Useful Plugins, Wordpress

There are several editor options that you can integrate into WordPress to make designing your sites pages easy, My favourite has to be Page Builder by SiteOrigin. This plugin makes it easy to build responsive grid-based page content that adapts to mobile devices which means your page content is always displayed accurately.

It has a simple drag and drop interface and is backed up by a collection of widgets which means you shouldn’t have to modify any code. Page Builder also uses WordPress’s built in widgets and with access to some impressive plugins. This has to be one of the easiest WordPress editors available.

Neil White 30th May 202026th May 2020 Featured, Useful Plugins, Wordpress

Sometimes you can spend ages setting a page up and you realise you would like to create a new post, but keep all the work you have done in formatting a page in place. This plugin allows users to clone posts of any type, or copy them to new drafts for further editing.

It is extremely versatile:

In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can click on ‘Clone’ link below the post/page title: this will immediately create a copy and return to the list.

In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can select one or more items, then choose ‘Clone’ in the ‘Bulk Actions’ dropdown to copy them all at once.

In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can click on ‘New Draft’ link below the post/page title.

On the post edit screen, you can click on ‘Copy to a new draft’ above “Cancel”/”Move to trash” or in the admin bar.

While viewing a post as a logged in user, you can click on ‘Copy to a new draft’ in the admin bar.

Google reCAPTCHA

Adding reCAPTCHA to a WordPress site is fairly straightforward these days, however you may wish to add a spam prevention measure to a standard html form.

To use reCAPTCHA, you need a Google account. Sign into the reCAPTCHA admin console:

https://www.google.com/recaptcha

This will provide you with a ‘site’ key and a ‘secret’ key.

Go to your web site mail form and add the code in the following places:

Form header

Prior to the submit button

On the mail processing form add the following code:

Note the positions where the site key and secret key need to go.

That’s it!

Post Type Switcher

Neil White 26th May 202022nd December 2020 Featured, Useful Plugins, Wordpress

This plugin adds a simple post-type drop-down to the post editor interface, allowing you to reassign any post to a new post type. It allows you to switch post’s type while editing your post.

SUPPORTED TYPES

The plugin can convert nearly every combination of posts, pages, and even custom post types:

Page to Post
Post to Page
Post to Custom
Custom to Custom

BULK EDITING

With bulk editing you can select all the posts in a certain type and convert them to a new type with one quick action.

BLOCK EDITOR

With block-editor (aka Gutenberg) support you can switch between post-types that use either the Block Editor and the Classic one, without losing any of your embedded content.

WordPress Admin Menu Editor

Neil White 25th May 202022nd December 2020 Featured, Useful Plugins, Wordpress

Customize the Admin Bar (WordPress Toolbar) Hide toolbar items, change their order with drag & drop, rename items, add new links, and more….

If you use a variety of plugins to manage your web site sometimes the location on the menu bar is not quite as convenient as it could be. You can make using WordPress easier to use by moving frequently used menu items to the top. You can also move menu items from one submenu to another, or to the main menu.

You can add your own links to the admin menu, make a custom menu’s and it’s possible to create non-clickable items, which can be useful for things like section headers in complex admin menus. So, if you want a top-level link to “Add New Post” or to a specific plugin? You can do that. If you have an unruly plugin that puts its admin page in the wrong place? Move it to “Settings” instead.

This is probably one of the most useful plugin’s available and one of the best things about it is, you can simplify the menu system for your clients. If you can make things simple, then things work!

Get A Personal Email Address

Neil White 8th May 20208th May 2020 Email, Featured

This day and age nothing can be done without having an email account. There are a lot of email providers out there and generally you can pick up an outlook, gmail or yahoo address fairly easily. Many people use the address that their ISP (Internet Service Provider) gives them, however what you find is with so many people now using the Internet, many of the more easy to remember addresses are now gone.

You may assume buying a domain name so you have your own web address is just for business. Not at all. I have been using an @avmail.net address as my personal address for years. It is short, sharp and very easy to remember. Therefore, if you want an email address that really reflects your identity, then take the plunge and have your own domain name too.

That way the bit after the ‘@’ sign is personalised, as well as the bit before it and because you own the domain itself, you can put whatever you want at the start of the address. Typical combinations that could be used are:

firstname@surname.co.uk (you can give each family member their own address)

name@housename.co.uk

email@firstnamesurname.co.uk

yourname@youroccupation.co.uk (a good idea if you run a business from home or are thinking of setting one up)

So, if you hadn’t thought about getting your own web address and you like the idea of a personal email address, Prices start at £4 + VAT per month including set up for email hosting only. Otherwise if you want to include some web space with that and create your own web site or blog, it’s £6 + VAT per month. Prices are applicable for uk domains only. Other domain extensions are available however prices vary and will be provided on request.

Business packages also available. Contact us for more information.

FM 20 Fake Name Fix

Neil White 20th April 202021st May 2020 Featured

Due to licensing issues, FM 20 contains fake names for a number of competitions, clubs and awards. To fix this you can download and install an add-on from FM Scout You can then play FM 20 with real names.

The download contains:

All playable clubs names from all continents
All major leagues names
All non-playable Europe Top Leagues club names
Almost all minor leagues names
All Continental, National and National Cups names
Continental awards
Some stadium names

Once downloaded, follow the instruction on the FMScout site

For reference, the folder structure of the path you need to apply the fix to is as follows:

[fac_icon icon=”folder”] 2010

[fac_icon icon=”folder”] 2010_fm

[fac_icon icon=”folder”] dbc

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] 2010 zebra award.dbc

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] zebra turin fake staff.dbc

[fac_icon icon=”folder”] permanent

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] brazil_kits.dbc

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] forbidden names.dbc

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] Licensing2.dbc

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] Licensing2_chn.dbc

[fac_icon icon=”folder”] temp league fixes

[fac_icon icon=”folder”] edt

[fac_icon icon=”folder”] permanent

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] fake.edt

[fac_icon icon=”folder”] lnc

[fac_icon icon=”folder”] all

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] fake.lnc

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] lic_dan_swe_fra.lnc

[fac_icon icon=”file-o”] nleague.lnc

The path to the directory is as follows:

Windows:

\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2020\data\database\db\2010\

Mac:

/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2020/database/data/db/2010/

A copy of the instructions follows:

Quit the game (if it’s open).
Extract the contents of the pack you downloaded to a temporary location. You’ll need them for step 6.
Find the 2010 folder.
Open the lnc folder and then enter the all sub-folder.
Delete all files you can find in there, particularly the following 3 files:

fake.lnc
lic_dan_swe_fra.lnc
nleague.lnc

Move FM20 Fix by FMScout.lnc and FM20 Club Names by FMScout.lnc inside the all folder.
Go 2 folders back to find the edt folder. Open it and then enter the permanent sub-folder.
Delete the file “fake.edt”.

This will fix Niko Kovač from getting renamed to Max Freund, and Oliver Kahn from getting renamed to Jens Freund.

Again go 2 folders back, this time to find the dbc folder. Delete the following 3 files:

zebra award.dbc
zebra turin fake staff.dbc
zebra turin new.dbc

This will fix Juventus from getting renamed to Zebre and prevent fake staff for them.

Now enter the permanent sub-folder Delete the following 4 files:

brazil_kits.dbc
forbidden names.dbc
Licensing2.dbc
Licensing2_chn.dbc

This will prevent Brazilian clubs from reverting to 3-letter names and will allow certain kits to be visible again.

Open the game and enjoy Football Manager 2020 with real names.

PLEASE NOTE:

The fix for Juventus and Brazilian clubs can only take effect with a new save because dbc files affect the saved game when it’s first created.

If your saved game was started before the 20.1.0 patch, you need to apply this fix to the 2001 folder as well!

Don’t agree with a name? You can change it.

Open the fix file in a text editor such as Notepad, search for the name you want to change, change it, and save. It’s really that simple. The fix will apply the next time you start FM20.
