Editing Sagamore PTA Wordpress notes (section)

==Old ideas==

'''''Don't'' do these!'''

===Change starting post ID===

'''''Not needed''' if content is [[#Import_old_content|imported]]''

''From [[Sagamore online goals 2014#URL_redirects]]:''

Make the new Wordpress installation use post IDs we haven't used before to avoid collisions (terms and users weren't utilized enough on the old site to bother with), then setup .htaccess redirects from the old to the new as desired.

# On the new Wordpress database:
#: <pre>ALTER wp_posts AUTO_INCREMENT = 2001 ;</pre>

===Assigning post IDs===

'''''Don't use:''' Although the following is possible, it's probably better to just [[#Import_old_content|import old content]] and/or use redirects for old content (ala [[Sagamore .htaccess]]) and make new content use unique post IDs by doing [[#Change starting post ID]].''

When importing content, it may be easier for sake of redirecting to assign posts/pages the same ID they had on the export site (especially if the export site exposed IDs in its URL (like the PTA site from 2012-2014)).  : ''This happens automatically with Wordpress's Tools → Import if the IDs aren't already taken!''

===Page Tagging & Categories===

Of the two default content types in Wordpress, '''Pages (unlike the other, Posts), cannot have Tags or Categories associated with them by default'''.  It is relatively simple to '''change that''' with [https://www.sitepoint.com/wordpress-pages-use-tags/ some code] or a simple plugin:

* [https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-tags-and-categories-for-pages/ Post Tags and Categories for Pages]

''Only add Tags (not Categories) to Pages:''
