gpt4 prompt: "Design a WordPress site for a birding non profit in Ecuador that accepts uploads of member photos and maps them by location based on the exif location. Give the member the option to share location publicly, with a group, or just for themselves" - Creating a WordPress site for a birding non-profit in Ecuador that accepts uploads of member photos and maps with location based on the EXIF data would require a combination of theme selection, custom development, and plugin utilization. Here's a step-by-step process of how it could be done: **1. Choose a Suitable Theme:** Start with a theme that is suitable for non-profit organizations and has an emphasis on visual content. It should have galleries, sliders, and maps built-in or easily integrated. A theme like "Charity Hub," "Neve," or "Eco Nature" could work well. **2. Set Up Basic Pages:** Include basic pages such as Home, About, Membership Information, Photo Gallery, Bird Species, Contact Us, etc. You could use a page builder like Elementor or Beaver Builder to design these pages with ease. **3. Enable User Registration and Profiles:** Use a plugin like "BuddyPress" to enable user registrations and to create user profiles. You'll need members to have accounts to upload their photos. **4. Enable Photo Uploads:** To accept uploads of member photos, you can use a plugin such as "User Submitted Posts" or "Frontend Upload." You might need a developer to help with customization if you want to extract EXIF data automatically. **5. EXIF Data and Location:** Plugins like "EXIF Data Viewer" or "WP VR View" can be used to extract EXIF data from the uploaded images, which typically includes GPS coordinates for the location where the photo was taken. You could use a service like Google Maps API to translate these coordinates into an actual location. **6. Sharing Permissions:** For the sharing options, you would need some custom development to allow members to control who sees their location. This would involve adding options in the upload form to set the visibility to public, private, or group, and then applying those permissions to the display of the location data. **7. Integration of Maps:** You can use plugins like "Interactive Geo Maps" or "WP Google Maps" to display interactive maps on the site. Locations of uploaded photos could be indicated on the map, depending on the permissions set by the user. **8. Implement a Blog:** A blog section could be helpful for sharing news, updates, and educational information. WordPress's native blogging functionality can handle this easily. **9. SEO & Analytics:** Don't forget to incorporate SEO best practices to help your site get found. A plugin like "Yoast SEO" can be very helpful. Similarly, integrate Google Analytics for tracking site usage. **10. Set up a Donation System:** As a non-profit, you might want to consider setting up a donation system. Plugins like "GiveWP" are designed specifically for this. Finally, make sure the website is mobile responsive since many users will likely be accessing the site from their mobile devices. This should be a feature of any modern WordPress theme, but always check to make sure. Please note that while WordPress and its ecosystem of plugins provide a lot of flexibility and power, you'll need someone with technical expertise to help with the setup, especially around the custom development for the photo upload, EXIF data extraction, and permissions control.

Re: [FRIAM] Google Bard
Answering my own question, I signed up and was able to ask ChatGPT. It gave a better answer from the start. If you have a WordPress site with no pages or posts, the default behavior of WordPress depends on the theme you have installed. However, in most cases, the following elements are typically displayed when you visit the site: Header: The header section of your website, which usually includes the site title or logo and the main navigation menu. Footer: The footer section of your website, containing information such as copyright notices, links to privacy policies, terms of use, and contact information. Sidebar: If your theme has a sidebar, it may be displayed on the site. The sidebar typically contains widgets like search bars, categories, recent posts, or custom content, depending on your theme and widget settings. Widgets: Some themes display widgets in areas other than the sidebar, such as the footer or header. These can include social media icons, subscription forms, or other customizable elements. Empty Content Area: Since you have no pages or posts, the main content area of your site may appear empty or display a default message like "No content found" or "This site does not have any content yet." It's important to note that the appearance of your site can be customized by installing and configuring different themes, page builders, and plugins. These tools allow you to create and arrange content in various ways, so the actual display of your site may vary depending on your specific settings.

Re: [FRIAM] Google Bard
ChatGPT 3.5 response *If you have a WordPress site with no pages or posts, the default behavior depends on the theme you are using and how it's configured. Typically, when you visit a WordPress site without any content, the homepage will display a message such as "Nothing Found" or "No Results Found."The specific message may vary based on your theme, but it usually indicates that there are no published posts or pages available. Additionally, some themes might display a basic placeholder content or a search form to allow visitors to search for content on the site.To customize what gets displayed on your homepage, you can create a new page or set a static page as your homepage in the WordPress settings. You can also modify your theme or install plugins to customize the appearance and behavior of your site.* On Sun, May 21, 2023 at 10:32 PM Gary Schiltz wrote: > I haven't signed up for ChatGPT or similar, so I tried Google Bard to > get an answer to a practical question to do with WordPress > development.

[FRIAM] Google Bard
I haven't signed up for ChatGPT or similar, so I tried Google Bard to get an answer to a practical question to do with WordPress development. I knew that the answer that it gave me was incorrect, and said so. Here is an abridged version of the second conversation: Gary: I asked Google Bard the following question: "If I have a wordpress site with no pages or posts, what gets displayed when I go to the site?" and it basically told me that it won't display anything, and told me how to add pages or posts. That answer was just plain wrong. The theme somehow displays something by default, and I'd like to know what mechanism it uses to show this default content. Bard admitted it was wrong and pointed to what I presume is correct (I haven't looked into it to verify). Bard: You are correct, Google Bard's answer was incorrect. When you have a WordPress site with no pages or posts, the theme will display a default content. This default content is usually a message that encourages you to create your first page or post. The mechanism that the theme uses to display this default content is called the template hierarchy. The template hierarchy is a system that WordPress uses to determine which template file to load for a particular page or post. When you have no pages or posts, WordPress will load the index.php template file. This file is responsible for displaying the default content. The following is an example of the default content that is displayed by the index.php template file: Code snippet Welcome to WordPress Welcome to WordPress This is your new WordPress site. To get started, please create your first page or post. Create a new page Create a new post You can customize the default content by editing the index.php template file. You can find this file in your theme's directory. I wonder how ChatGPT would fare?
