Known Issues

Resources & Loading

Image Loading - Homepage

    • https://hasepharadi.com/wp-content/themes/haseph/fonts/fontawesome-pro-5.6.3-web/webfonts/fa-brands-400.ttf
    • https://hasepharadi.com/wp-content/themes/haseph/fonts/fontawesome-pro-5.6.3-web/webfonts/fa-brands-400.woff
    • https://hasepharadi.com/wp-content/themes/haseph/fonts/fontawesome-pro-5.6.3-web/webfonts/fa-brands-400.woff2
  • Extract specifically needed FA styles, instead of loading the whole stylesheet

Accessibility

FontAwesome

• Implement Font Awesome Aria Accessibility Roles

Plugins and Widgets

Remove Unnecessary Plugins

Visual Composer

• Finish recoding Lebanon page, so I can remove Visual Composer

wpDiscuz

• wpDiscuz needs further styling and social media integration
• Are there better options?

Events Calendar

• Working on a fully automated way to import events from fb pages

Add Site Link to Copied Text

• Find a more elegant way to implement this, wrt UI/UX
  • How does the Forward's script work??

Mailchimp - Subscribe

• can mc-validate.js be loaded locally instead?

Header & Nav Menus

Nav Menus

• Desktop menu hover behavior is glitchy
  • Implement pushy.js menu instead?
  • Other possible solution: see here for possible solution.
    • Parameters and definitions for superfish.js:
      • Superfish site
      • Dev Docs - jQuery .animate()
• min-width: 961 should .shrinked menu display sub-menu on hover?

Content & Styling

Author Page

• Needs light styling

Category Pages

• Does full-width template actually make sense here?
• Page Title is appearing at the bottom of the page, after The Loop has finished

Code Cleanup

Items marked in bold are high priority

SCSS

Improve SCSS organization

• Section headings need to match and follow a consistent numbering theme.
  • Use same headings structure as custom-functions.php for each scss partial
• Improve Variables Usage by incorporating broader variables, ex: category--color
  • Replace $orange variables et al with $link--font-color-hover: $orange et al

PHP & JS

• Many functions still need DocBlocks
• Add in esc_url et al, where necessary

CSS Grid

• Rewrite with CSS Grid

Other

• Add earlier version history to Changelog
