Published Elements
Homepage Elements
| ID | Title | Hook | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4090 | ID86 Hero Search | generate_after_header (priority 10) | Hero section with search input, results container, and quick topic links |
| 4091 | ID86 Niche Cards | generate_after_header (priority 10) | Explore Topics 4-card grid |
| 4092 | ID86 Latest Sheets | generate_after_header (priority 10) | Latest references via [id86_latest_sheets limit="6"] |
These three Elements share the same hook generate_after_header with priority 10. They render in order because they are also placed in the homepage front-page content via the GeneratePress page template. The hook executes after the header.
Their display conditions are set to general:front_page so they only render on the homepage.
Single Post Elements
| ID | Title | Type | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3663 | #Single Post Title | Block (Page Hero) | GenerateBlocks layout with Rank Math breadcrumbs, dynamic post title (H1), author name with verified badge, [id86_modified_date] shortcode for last-updated date + read time (updated M j, Y · N min read) |
| 1371 | #Single Post Content | Content Template | Full GenerateBlocks template with featured image, post content, tags, related posts, and comments |
The single post title Element is a Page Hero block that renders via generate_after_header. The content template wraps the post content with GenerateBlocks containers.
Archive Elements
| ID | Title | Type | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3579 | #Archive Title | Block | [id86_archive_header] renders the ID86 hero, contextual archive title, and optional taxonomy description |
| 3584 | #Archive Post Layout | Layout | Archive, blog, search, and no-results width/sidebar settings; archive content width is 1180px |
| 863 | #Archive Template | Block content template | [id86_archive_card] renders a complete reference card with fixed anatomy and no dynamic-block placeholders |
The archive system follows the ID86 reference-sheet pattern rather than the legacy GP Personale post layout:
#Archive Titleuses the standard ID86 hero gradient and renders category, tag, search, author, blog, and other archive titles through one PHP renderer.#Archive Templatedeliberately omits featured-image space because documentation posts do not require featured images.- The child theme turns archive cards into a 3-column grid above 960px, 2 columns from 601-960px, and 1 column at 600px and below.
- Card category, content type, title, excerpt, update date, and CTA are supplied atomically by
id86_archive_card, preventing raw shortcode or block-placeholder text from leaking into the front end. - GP Premium column layout is disabled. The child theme owns archive sizing, so adding or deleting categories does not require layout configuration.
Footer & Subscription
| ID | Title | Type | Hook | Content |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3040 | Site Footer | Block (Site Footer) | generate_footer | Full footer with 4-column grid, logo, contact info, blog categories, navigation, social links, copyright |
| 4128 | ID86 Subscribe Bar | Block (Hook) | generate_before_footer (priority 10) | <section class="id86-subscribe-bar"><div class="id86-shell">[id86_subscribe]</div></section> |
The subscribe bar is currently also placed at the top of the Site Footer Element content for manual positioning control.

Editing Guidance
- Edit Element content in WordPress rather than changing child-theme PHP for copy-only updates.
- Keep required class names intact:
id86-hero,id86-niche-grid,id86-sheet-grid,id86-section,id86-shell. The responsive CSS depends on them. - For the subscription form, place
[id86_subscribe]at the desired position inside the Site Footer Element. - Purge all cache layers (LiteSpeed + Cloudflare) after updating an Element because its rendered HTML is page-cached.
- When creating new Elements, follow the naming convention
#Purpose Descriptionfor content templates andID86 Descriptive Namefor brand elements.
