Can I do in-page changes binding events/triggers to actions in WordPress?

I've been coder for decades but I need to setup some microsites super-fast. I chose WordPress as the platform and I'm complete newbie to WordPress. The behaviour I need I know can do it programming.

Automatic scaling and resizing

I have a CAD-like system: users create Canvases and put different Objects on it. Sometimes users need to scale the Canvas and move all included objects to different positions and probably change their sizes. At the moment it's done manually, but there's a need to automate this process, I'm trying to do this using ML algorithms. For the train data I have a bunch of manually scaled canvases Initially I thought it would be a relatively easy task achieved with …

How to select a category automatically based on a word in WordPress post title?

I am working with an auto-posting blog where the articles come through RSS Feed. There are lots of posts publishing every day automatically. Now I need to get a category automatically based on a word in the WordPress post title. For example: I have a category: "New York" and "Florida". If any post has the word "New York" in the title, then the category "New York" will select automatically during publishing. Similarly, if any post has the word "Florida" in …

Automatically convert standard posts with custom fields to custom post types

I am just beginning a page, and for my current purposes it seems that the only extra things I need are a couple of extra fields for posts of a certain category. Because I only need to add a little information, I think that it might be appropriate to give posts belonging to this category custom fields using Advanced Custom Fields (aka ACF). However, I was thinking that later I might discover it is better to use custom post types, …

Multisite/network--automatic self-registration, blog setup

I am creating a WordPress Network multisite blog in a university environment. It's set up in subdirectory mode, so that each new blog appears as a subdirectory off a common domain name.

Assignt automatically two categories by author

I'm looking for a way to automatically assign two categories each time an author makes a blog post: General category (will always be the same for all authors). Author category, with de same exact name as the author. For example, assign to a new blog post from user Bilbo the generic category 'TLOFT' and the author tag 'Bilbo'.

Wordpress, Mailchimp, Campaigns - should separate campaigns be used for something like notifying users of drip content?

I am new to integrating Wordpress and Mailchimp. I have a Wordpress site that offers music courses. Within a course are several lessons.

Automate detection of overfitting models based on autoML libraries

I'm trying to use machine learning to impute missing data in series using some auto-ML libraries in python (so far : dabl, FLAML, auto-sklearn and AutoKeras). I know the way to detect overfitting in a "classical" way: that would be to plot test/train metrics while tuning your model. However in my case, I think of two reasons why I can't use that: first, I'm hopping to tune multiple models (due to physical considerations) ; that would amount to - at …

Using python to delete specified text from thousands of old blog posts

I'm a web editor that uses WordPress and my site has a bit of an annoying problem. We basically have tens of thousands of articles going back about ten years and we have to delete all of the images we posted in articles from around 2012 to 2018. The reason is that the then editor of the website had a bad habit of using Creative Commons images and not attributing them correctly so we're now vulnerable to legal action. I …

Bulk updating a group of WordPress Pages every 10 minutes

I need to bulk update 86 specific WordPress Pages every 10 minutes, with the term updating I mean the same thing as clicking the Blue Update Button on each page, and having them all update at the same time every 10 minutes. I guess I need to write a function into my theme functions.php file, and maybe trigger the function every 10 minutes with the help of the plugin WP Crontrol, or maybe using the Cron in cPanel.

PHP variable not regenerating when publishing multiple posts at the same time

My issue is that this second category (which …

Setting a default text for excerpts of a particular category

I am extremely new to WordPress Development and PHP in general, and was wondering if there is a way to create a function that would automatically add some pre-determined text to the excerpt of posts with a particular category.
