Core Flex PLP framework

We have added a new site type to our WordPress framework that will provide a more streamlined, performant framework for sites that are identified as “Core Flex”, having only PLPs and no organic presence outside of edX. The work completed in this release is phase 1.

  • Sites identified as Core Flex moving forward can be found in the main sites list, but can also be accessed in a new sub-listing called “Flex PLPs” (see screenshot)
  • Sites can now utilize two predetermined google fonts, Open Sans and Lora, without syncing from Vibram
  • Sites set as “Flex PLPs” aka “Core Flex” will have an indicator in the Global Settings (see screenshot)

Menu/Navigation

  • Settings to allow custom menus to appear at the page level. This was created primarily for HPU, but is available on all sites. Documentation will be added shortly.

Footnotes Block

  • WordPress core has a footnotes block that has now been enabled for our theme (see screenshot)
    Note: Footnotes cannot be used on the PLP post type at this time. This will be fixed after we update to WordPress Core 6.5

Privacy Policy Template

  • Update to the Privacy Policy template to allow multi-program templates that pull in Central Park data

MKTG Editor Role

  • Updates to the MKTG Editor role to utilize the WordPress VIP Governance plugin
  • Update to limit MKTG Editor from adding/editing images
  • Update to limit MKTG Editor from editing PLP post type
