This is a WordPress child theme boilerplate, which aims to secure the site and to configure it to meet the GDPR requirements. The child theme performs the following tasks:
- Localize Google Fonts (or in fact any web font)
- Make links in the comments truely external
- Remove the commentor's IP (old ones have to be removed by hand)
- Disable oEmbeds (old ones have to be removed by hand)
- Disable WordPress Emojis (in every modern browser Emojis will be displayed anyway)
- Remove global DNS Prefetching
- Hide WordPress REST API for security reasons
This child theme is a boilerplate! If you want to create your own child theme for any WordPress theme, please fork or clone this repository and change the gdpr_ prefix in the functions.php to your own theme name.
Not every parent theme works the same. You may have to change the code in the gdpr_child_enqueue_scripts() so that it's working properly.
In order to create clean code and a descent inheritance, the child theme uses a .child body class once you activated the child theme. If you want to append your own CSS code to the style.css, you should use this class as a prefix, e.g.:
.child p {
line-height: 1.6
}If you want to localize Google Fonts, simply use the google-webfonts-helper, copy the downloaded fonts to the /fonts/ directory and edit the /css/fonts.css.
NOTE: To use the TODO file you should edit it with VSCode and the Todo+ extension. Please read their documentation for usage information.
