WordPress The WordPress Codex How to Use the WordPress Codex WordPress Codex Quiz

Wordpress Codex lesson is so out of date that the links don't work. Any plans to update it soon?

Everything on the old WordPress codex website seems to been migrated to a completely new system. Almost none of the "WordPress Codex" lessons links work. This lesson should probably be removed entirely until there's an update.

Thanks. I appreciate you digging that up for me.

There's also this guy https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Coding_Standards

And this question: Q: What would the URL look like for the page that documents the the_title() function for displaying the title of a post in a template? A: http://codex.wordpress.org/function_reference/the_title

Since "codex.wordpress.org/function_reference" doesn't go anywhere anymore -- neither does "/the_title"

Thanks, Kenna. I'm going to tag Zac Gordon here so he knows about it.

Hi

Questions where i have to fill in the page names are driving me insane - i have spent like 5 times more time on trying to understand on how to enter them (is it a link and what should i include in the link etc) than learning in this course. I find questions formed in such manner very user unfriendly and unproductive.

You could just ask what we could find in certain sections and give possible answers -therefore making students go and browse over the content of codex page rather than browsing Treehouse forums on how the answer should be typed in correctly.

Hi Kenna,

The old or current codex rather is still live so all the links should still work regardless of the new one which they have yet to migrate to.

The course itself was recorded a very short time ago so at this point there should be no dead links just yet.

http://codex.wordpress.org/function_reference

It suggests going to the "wordpress code reference" up at the top of the page, but that still makes the quiz questions out of date -- especially the one that has you pick a particular url.

Kenna, I went ahead and checked all links within the course. It appears there was only one, which was missing text, and I've included that below for you.
