WordPress Blog Page Versus Post Tutorial
WordPress, at least the one we look after, structures it’s blog content on …
- top menu driven content being controlled by Edit Page (terminology) arrangements (as far as the admin user is concerned) … versus …
- the other downaways content being controlled by Edit Post (terminology) arrangements (as far as the admin user is concerned)
So what?
… we hear you say!
Well well, well … yeah, we know … our much admired header.php WordPress Codex PHP piece of code …
- we’re forever raving about …
- we’re forever tinkering with
… is not helping out Edit Page content the way it helps out Edit Post content and that means the Mixed Content smarts we have embedded in our header.php allowing us to not have to worry about a URL (we’ve used in a textarea element editing session) such as …

… causing a potential “Mixed Content” issue when the address bar shows a webpage under the protocol https: is handled by logic within header.php for us, here.
For the most part, we wrote most of our Edit Page content back in the earlier 2010’s and it wasn’t such a worry with “Mixed Content” anything, but web browser security concerns have caught up, and if we have no header.php “protection”, if you will, we found out, revisiting our “Polls” Edit Page based content, today, with the horrors of discovering those issues there. We needed to go around and get rid of http: references within Edit Page based content, in the content textarea elements themselves, rather than programmatically, with PHP (writes Javascript and HTML and CSS) code such as in header.php Codex file.
Another thing about the thinking back then … do not worry about ?s=[search string] of any type (even if [search string] is short)?! But, as you may imagine, if you sifted through your brain looking for references to “Poll” say, you’ll be sifting a loooonnngggg time, and it is better to link to ?tag=Poll ( or, these days, in our “Permalink Land” … /tag/poll ) … so it goes with WordPress Blog thinking.
