The process took about two hours, including updating WordPress and fixing a configuration issue. There is some slight mismatch between the two, largely due to platform differences, but I was able to simply copy and paste a good deal of the code.
Issues
- Is there a template tag to check if next/previous pagination will be
generated? I don’t want to have unnecessary markup rendered. Tumblr allows me
to do this by wrapping all my pagination code in
{block:Pagination}…{/block:Pagination}tags, and the next/previous links in{block:NextPage}…{NextPage}…{/block:NextPage}. WordPress only seems to provide a way to generate the links directly withnext_posts_link. - I’m unclear on exactly how to set up archives. The instructions in the Codex seem to be a version behind.
- Bizarrely, the page renders differently when I use local
CSS, even though it’s exactly the same as the
remote copy I use with Tumblr. For now the
style.cssfile is present simply because it’s required to give metadata.
