@rperlin-ela let me know what you think on:
- find/replace shortcodes
- how/if you want to handle replacements for the links. i'm sure i could figure out some of them but it takes me a long time to cross-reference all your stuff whereas you're much more familiar with the new and previous structure. got a LOT of coding left to do, and only 1.5 weeks left, and i've done a ton of migration/massaging already, so anything you can do would help.

migration from old wp went well overall but still have a few steps/questions...
Shortcodes
should we do a wholesale find/replace/delete on things like
[wptabs]and similar? or leave it intact since it kinda-sorta helps to see the tab headings and content during the conversion from old language page-pages to new custom Language post type? i believe i've done all the manual hand-jamming i'm going to do and ball will soon be in Ross's court so i have no skin the game, but i would lean towards keeping them intact and then when we think the migration is "done" i can search the DB and find/replace then?Old links/route structure
To replace?
should i replace these to match the new structure? this is a consolidated list and there are many instances using these links, but i imagine mostly old blog posts.
blog post? project? not sure
it's got a year but no month. maybe this was a redirect?
old posts
who what why how etc.
and children:
top-level (but shouldn't be?)
languages, children, variations
i'm not going to touch these. i'm not familiar enough with the old structure to spend time reviewing each one, so hopefully Ross and i can find/replace over zoom or, ideally, Ross does it. maybe some just won't translate though? e.g.
https://elalliance.org/languages/celticis just not going to have an equivalent in the new setup?languages-2 ???
programs
same comment as languages above.

Read more auto-gen
the wp auto-generated "Read more..." functionality is great but it might not point to what we expect (hard to explain), and we also don't want to see it in all cases. i'm hoping it will just go away if excerpts are manually written (as opposed to wp using a truncated version of Editor contents), so just a heads-up that if you don't want to see the auto Read More, try creating an excerpt manually first. i know there are a lot of old posts, so i'm reluctant to prescribe changing them ALL, so let's see how it's going first.
wp content site vs. current live site vs. deploy
we've got a hodge podge mix of these so let's take note where they occur and i'll fix as we go. eventually when we're live-live, everything except images and other stuff in the wp media library (which will always point to the wp content site) should point to https://elalliance.org or a relative path.
