Unfortunately, once a project exceeds 500 pages, using WordPress is much less straightforward. How has Boston University made it work? From a technical standpoint, building relationships between content objects and creating simple to use UIs for managing the relationships is key. Once established, the semantic relationships can be coupled with bits of meta data to construct menus, indexes, facets, filters, and so much more. Using code examples, this talk will highlight essential parts of the WordPress API and demonstrate various techniques used in BU plugins and themes that help us build better large websites.</span></p></div><div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><br></p></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; "><b><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; ">Bio:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; "> </span></b></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Gregory Cornelius is a Senior Solutions Architect in Information Services & Technology at Boston University who oversees the technical-side of the BU WordPress CMS and plays a central role in the technical design and implementation of the various web-based services that IS&T offers to the Boston University community.
