    DONE!!! FINALLY! Multi-site works, and fun can begin!

    Our presentation page is up, and I’m impressed as the site seems super-fast. I won’t try activitypub at the moment, maybe next week.
    Content for now, no visuals, it’s still the default WordPress theme; I’ll however continue using Gutenberg block editor for site design, sighted lady will help me with styles, sizes, colors, flags, logo. For now I have what I need: my best friend in POSITIVE (pun very intended) mood ☣️ and my intermediate web dev technical skills, let me build nav bar and HIV glossary before anything else, testing new multi-language echosystem.

    Before starting involving the sighted designer I want the interface to work properly.

    ENGLISH https://plusbrothers.net/english/about/

    ITALIANO: https://plusbrothers.net/cosa-facciamo

    Detail: I had to create a solo Nginx conf file to instruct it to accept main URL, placed on /etc/nginx/conf.d/plusbrothers.net.d/; I can’t deny or hide that for this, AI helped. And precisely, the Hostinger embedded chatbot, trained with main provider base configurations.

    Unfortunately YunoHost has a limitation and wants WordPress to be installed into a subdirectory such as domain dot tld slash wp.

    And leaving it as it is, with its /wp/ at the end of each content, would have generated 404 errors to folks searching for old posts. I wanted to have at least the presentation page published, within July 3rd - the day where New York Times in 1981 talked of HIV for the first time, identifying it as an untreatable disease affecting 41 homosexual men.

    And the weird destiny is that my best friend, and content writer for this project, was born July 3rd 1975. 6 years later AIDS come out in the USA. He’s gay, and turned poz (HIV+) in 2013 due to a cheating partner.

  • @mauvehed @selfhosted @_elena I will update this thread accordingly.
    I’m going to prepare the multisite network with WordPress and YunoHost first, it has some limitations and I had to create some tricks to make it work - I’ll talk about it in deep. Then, will place the WP theme and start working on the user experience, the blocks part of design at least; then at last a sighted designer will help me with colors, styles, size, the visual part I can’t control.
    Multisite network, to make it multilingual (Italian and English) using blocks only, as all multilingual plugins I’ve tried so far, have severe accessibility issues!
