Compatibility with Wordpress App? #57

Open strarsis opened 7 years ago

strarsis commented 7 years ago

Using the Wordpress App (Automattic), a page using Mesh can be still viewed + edited, but publishing results in no changes, also no warning or error messages. Inspecting the page afterwards in Wordpress backend also indicates that nothing was changed.

It would be nice if at least just the text could be saved with the Wordpress App (maybe by using shortcodes that are translated into the Mesh UI when the editor is open, so the whole page including layout can be represented by text?).

@strarsis definitely something to research. We've really tried to stay away from shortcodes being the means to store/display content of each section within the parent post's content but it might be something to be able bridge the gap in getting it to work more seamlessly with the WordPress app.

Before that is tackled we'd definitely want towards a CRUD implementation I have a branch heavily inspired by the WooCommerce team's latest version. not close to primetime yet
