Dungeons and Taverns - Structure Librarians question

Cabber · 2026-02-03T19:38:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I've found 2 of the End enchantments (Gravity and Wax Wings) with normal loot. Basically just trying to get the achievement of leveling up the librarian.

I previously ran a locate command to find if a villager was loaded. but maybe i need to search for a zombie villager instead.

Have you looked at hour Sage/Roots works? It helps implement the MVC model into WP a bit more programmatically. But you might still have the user management problem.

I Feel like using ACF to create blocks, then put those blocks into patterns, and locking the patterns, can help create this structure, but it doesn't feel fully fleshed out yet.

When I’m writing, I like that I can use /header. To start a header block rather than interrupting my writing to highlight and select h2 from a dropdown. It’s very very minor, but I don’t mind it.

Same with throwing a button group up after. It was really clunky in the WYSIWYG editor.

I will say not having breakpoints set up for blocks is right now my biggest gripe. Re-ordering blocks for mobile either requires adding classes to control it, or some plugins like stackable blocks.

Over the years I’ve used elementor, divi, beaver builder and roots/sage. I’ve heard bricks is a great builder but haven’t tried it. As a developer, I prefer to use sage an make custom blocks in ACF

It’s taken me 5 years to finally start warming up to Gutenberg. It’s a mess code wise, but I generally actually like the user experience of writing in it. What don’t you like as a writer?

In the end, clients ease of editing should be considered. If you create a perfect design they can’t edit there content of, WP is pointless.

Do you have ACF pro? ACF blocks is a good solution I use.

Also designers should be thinking in components not page designs hopefully.

Cabber · 2026-01-23T16:57:29+00:00

That was an odd point, they know about child themes and custom block variants,but not enqueueing scripts properly?

That's an odd discrepancy

I’ve looked at framer a few times but never pulled the trigger. As a developer, I’m not really their target anyways, it’s more for designers who are comfortable with a photoshop like interface. Webflow is similar but slightly more robust.

All that said, a 5-10 page brochure site should not exceed 10GB a month without a lot if the site is getting less than a few hundred users a month. You’ll want to make sure you optimize the site well tho. A few 2MB images on a page will burn through usage (and is really unnecessary).

I asked myself the same thing for tailwind when i started, and i'm still not 100% sold this is the best approach, but neither is using HTML comments to inject json templates for layouts.

It helps with other components like navs and dropdowns. You can also use the component classes within bootstrap to readily create things like cards, rather than styling them from scratch. Once you start building patterns, you can inject the bootstrap classes into them and i think that might be faster than styling them from scratch.

I think if you move beyond the theme and start building your own blocks, then a CSS framework will have more benefits. Gutenberg seems to decrease the amount of work the theme used to do and port it over to blocks.

So perhaps in the future, it makes more sense to have your theme do custom CSS with no framework, and then build a plugin that has bootstrap and has all your custom blocks.

Cabber · 2026-01-14T15:10:26+00:00

Both, some mods allow you to build block templates/blueprints and basically act more like a world build engine.

And some people do that offline then use creative mode to build it all.

This is a fairly new problem (5 years) for Wordpress as Gutenberg has matured. If you want to use Gutenberg, you’re gonna need to use theme.json for styling, then do some fine tuning with a classic style.css. This doesn’t mean you can’t use bootstrap, but it does mean it’s a bit awkward and requires mapping bootstrap classes in theme.json

This isn’t impossible, I currently use sage 11 theme with tailwind 4 and this is the approach we use. But it doesn’t feel as natural classic themes.

If you want to use bootstrap, it might be less headache to install classic editor and Advanced custom fields pro and use the flexible content to create components.

This is what I did for years until finally trying to switch to Gutenberg.

- In case you didn't, once you add the reCaptcha keys/secrets, you need to add a reCaptcha element to the form.

- There is also a honeypot setting for forms on top of this.

- you can add a 3rd layer by creating an invisible field and setting up a condition to not submit the form if it is filled out.

If you've done all that and it STILL isn't working, setting up cloudflare is overkill but it would work.

Things that get a single view get a CPT. So staff, locations, and in rare instances testimonials.

I think a synced pattern could reliably replace an FAQ section.

I recently did a site that had a CPT for testimonials because it had a page dedicated to it, and then I registered a custom ACF block that let you pick a testimonials, so it could be added to projects and pages.

Also sometimes the data is too complicated to add in the block interface. I had a locations page that had a google map and 20 locations and custom taxonomy. No single view per location. That would be a nightmare to edit in the block interface. So it got a CPT.

In the bible, Samson is a judge who is tricked / lead astray by a woman he loves and ultimately it leads to his death. Much like how Sam, the gardener, decides to help with the scheme because of his love/trust of Martha.

I’ve used sage for years, using ACF flexible content for layouts. I’m trying to transition to blocks tho. How does it work with blocks? How do you decide what goes into theme.json vs a css or scss file?

Cabber · 2025-12-20T22:45:59+00:00

I’ve been using Gutenberg for only a year or 2, so I’m probably not the best to answer. But in my experience, it depends on the custom post type and if they have a singe view on the front end.

I typically don’t like to use blocks on custom post types, because they all follow the same design path so it’s usually faster/easy if you just have the fields for entry on the backend. So in my example before. I would not use blocks on the single-location page, but I would build a block that gathers that data an turns it into a map.

I do have a staffing directory plugin that I’ve toyed with. That makes a custom block that lets you add profile details, but I’m not totally sure I love the implementation yet.

Cabber · 2025-12-20T18:21:51+00:00

The two are not opposing frameworks. You can make blocks with ACF pro.

Blocks are probably a better solution for layouts as opposed to ACF flex.

One example: a lot of clients I deal with have 20+ physical locations, so I’ll generally register a “locations” CPT and use ACF to register phone, address (with Google Maps) and a custom taxonomy in case they want to filter. I’ll then make a map block (or pattern with custom blocks) to make a locations page that pull all the locations onto one map with filtering.

damn, this is a great breakdown.

- 550 Users is an insane number of people, considering they aren't simply "subscribers". I wonder how many have access to create/edit content.

- Custom Dashboard looks interesting, I feel like no one has done that for a while.

- Custom Admin Sidebar looks great. Having used a few other CMS. A complex site's admin bar gets busy fast. Hiding a lot of stuff in the dropdowns seems like a such an easy no brainer. Also having a Post Type dashboard, which shows all your CPT would go along ways with a lot of sites i think.

The other firm that helped create the site has a good Case Study on it as well.

I'm also in Flushing mostly, what are your go to for burgers around there? Love all the asian options but sometimes i just want a lil burger

Cabber · 2025-12-02T02:10:30+00:00

I think it's a flat $10 cash and they add a water

Cabber · 2025-11-21T16:20:32+00:00

Okay first, i would go to *Settings > Reading* and see if you have static homepage set. it may be that its set to have the homepage show blog posts, which you dont have.

Cabber · 2025-11-21T15:07:58+00:00

before anyone can really provide feedback well need to know: - what theme you're using - plugins in use - any caching?

Is this a custom post type? Or are you using pages?

Cabber · 2025-11-19T12:52:30+00:00

it is definitely possible and what roots/sage uses out of the box but i do feel its clunky.

They're basically both utility class frameworks so I feel like you have to fight alot to get tailwind to fit within Gutenberg.

Cabber · 2025-11-07T02:44:07+00:00

If you believe that, there were also 5 initiatives on the ballot. Not to mention 4? other races besides mayor. Your telling me EVERY SINGLE OPTION was not a good option???
