Learn page labels

[amdrew]

I rebuilt the "Learn" page so it's more like your old site. I think a blog-like listing suits better so someone new to the page can always see the latest content. I've labelled the tutorials by access (for everyone and member only), by difficulty (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and also by whether or not they are part of a series. These are all clickable to jump to the relevant sections (haven't done "Everyone" just yet though).

See: https://staging.pippinsplugins.com/learn/

I'd like to get some consistency across the site for labeling "tutorials"

"For Everyone", "Free", or "Free Access"?

I think I prefer a label of "Free", users would be drawn to that word more. The other tutorials require a membership, therefore are paid or "Member Only". "For Everyone" could also imply that the tutorial is member only.

"For Members", "Members Only", "Subscriber Only", or "Member Access" ?

Which one sounds better to you? We'd also rename the category to match.

Superb!

I prefer Free.

I'm fine with leaving it as Subscriber Only. The name makes sense, is pretty clear and saves some work by not renaming it.

I LOVE the "tags" at the bottom: https://cloudup.com/cR2I_a2H1oJ

If a post is part of a series, could we go ahead and link Series to the appropriate series instead of to the archive? https://cloudup.com/c8bbHj6JVpR

The only thing I'm unsure of on this page, however, is how visible the "series" section is: https://cloudup.com/ccBZwdmDqvO

What if we were to change the subtitle on the page to "x tutorials and x series, ready when you are" and then link x series to the series archive? https://cloudup.com/c4v0gSmvDpB

"Free" - excellent

"Subscriber Only" - I'll rename the tags to suit. I think we should we use this across the site also. So instead of referencing "Premium" content, it's now "subscriber only", do you agree? Or would you still prefer "premium" as the label , and subscriber-only as only the category name? It would be confusing to some when something is "premium" but in other places it's also called "subscriber only", even if the category is labelled as such. It's not hard to rename a category and set up a redirect :)

Series - Good point, will change

Series section - Yeah we can do that, I'll link up the subheading and we'll go from there.

[pippinsplugins]

Yep I agree,

[amdrew]

Done

[pippinsplugins]

Excellent.

Is there a reason the "Advanced" label doesn't show up? https://cloudup.com/c5eSUkR91_k

[amdrew]

Yeah, the category slug is called advanced-tutorials but code is checking for advanced (which is how it is on my local site). I just moved the categories over on the staging site, and when one already exists in the DB (even if it's not being used) it renames it to avoid conflict. In this case, it added -tutorials to the end to reflect the parent category.

I'm going to rename it in just a sec, I want these category names to be perfect :)

[amdrew]

Should be fixed now

[amdrew]

You can use the staging site to match them up, basically just nested them under tutorials

[pippinsplugins]

Boom
