    The Commons Has A New Editor Experience 

    WordPress has changed their editor to a new block-based editing experience. We’ve enabled that editor in the Commons, along with an option to revert back to the classic editor while we gradually ensure all the existing functionality we have come to count on is compatible with the new interface.

    Deleting Some Old Themes 

    Some of our themes haven’t been updated to meet web and accessibility standards, and need to be deleted. With over 100 themes available, we trust you will be able to find something new if your theme is one that had to be removed.

    Although sites with deleted themes should revert to the default theme, sometimes when a theme gets deleted, the site displays a white screen. If that’s the case with yours, visit the dashboard of your site by navigating directly to “yoursite”.commons.hwdsb.on.ca/wp-admin (replace “yoursite” with your particular subdomain url) and you should be able to access the Appearance menu to Customize your site for 2019.

    PDF Embed Issues Fixed 

    Thanks to @akitchen who brought this to my attention over the weekend. A functionality we were using to render Shortcodes into embedded objects was impacting the ability to upload PDFs into a blog post. The PDFs were being forced into a PDF viewer that wasn’t able to render the PDF properly. This has now been fixed. If you had added PDFs to your posts in the last week or so, and you were seeing a rendering error, you may need to delete the PDF and add it to your post again, as shown in the video in this post.

    If you run into issues please let us know in the comments below.
