How do I use this plugin?

Prepare

  1. Using your hosting provider's process, copy your main site to a "test" site that will be used to make your "core" site template.

  2. Sign in to the test site.

  3. Install this plugin: turtle-make-civ-core

  4. Add "core" pages and posts that will replace existing pages. Note: the core pages and posts could be implemented on your main site, so long as the Pages are not referenced and the Posts are kept "private."

For example:

Identify the pages and posts that should remain

  1. Go to Settings -> MakeCore. With blank Keep text boxes, click on the "List" button (only!).

  2. Copy the URIs listed in the Delete Posts and Delete Pages text boxes, to a text editor. Delete the URIs that should be deleted.

  3. Copy the URIs from the editor to the Keep text boxes. Click on the "List" button (only!).

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 4 until the Delete lists look OK.

  5. Click on the "Delete" button:
