Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Steffen and Dominik discuss the concept of global and translatable options for WordPress websites. Components can have options that are either limited to where they are inserted, or that apply to all components of a certain type on the site, even for different languages. This concept makes it easier for developers and editors to maintain and manage websites.Highlights00:00 Intro00:10 How global & translatable options work?04:18 ACF Option pages 06:25 Use Cases08:14 Standardize option pages11:39 Downside of global options13:00 Structuring options14:14 Manage multiple languages with WPML17:17 Translatable options20:50 Going without ACF Pro22:18 WP translation functionality 26:11 Localisation Feature of WordPress31:37 More flexibility with Global and Translatable optionsLinksFlynt Starter Theme: https://flyntwp.com/ACF Option Pages: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/options-page/WordPress Internationalization Functions: https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/internationalization/internationalization-functions/More from BleechBlog Posts (WordPress Development)Flynt (WordPress Starter Theme)VRTs (Visual Tests for WordPress)Siegfried, deploy!
