If anyone's interested (probably not to be fair xD), I'm keeping a progress log of moving and changing my static HTML site/blog to a custom PHP powered one at: https://scott.itsasite.uk/blog/2025-05-20-to-scott-itsasite-uk.html.

Hey Scott! For some reason, I couldn't reply to your comment on the Wordpress help page for Static Ultra. I can confirm nesting works for navigation functionality; I actually tried that before reaching out. The breadcrumb is what's not working. I tried editing the JS file (both nested, and unnested) and couldn't get it to work. It doesn't populate any breadcrumbs past the first/2nd level.

I also don't know much JS at all, so I can only assume from my previous knowledge.

Alrighty, I've done some tests and it should be working! I've tested locally and live, and updated the test-folder section with 3 levels of nesting, and added some sample code. Let us know if you have further issues! https://scott2.neocities.org/static-ultra/test-folder/
Well, this changes everything... a pal has gifted me https://scott.itsasite.uk complete with PHP, SQL (My or Lite) and FTP. So much for Wordpress.com lol, I think it lasted as my primary site for two weeks xD. Now to start coding a PHP thingeh to separate my template from my pages :D!

Meooowwww, I've moved my Daily Cats project over to Wordpress dot com due to it having built in comments, subscriptions and other useful features. Still a few things to do, but the new URL is: https://dailycats9.wordpress.com

Hi! I'm curious about how the pages load on your site? When you click on a link, it immediately updates that part of the page instead of how it normally refreshes everything on the page before it loads the next one. I've been dealing with that and I figured it out by putting the navigation on my site on an iframe instead of the main page. But how did you do it? I'm not sure if you used Javascript?

Hi! My site pages are currently normal HTML pages and don't make use of frames, JavaScript or special techniques for page loading. The Static Ultra project and site at https://scott2.neocities.org/static-ultra/ does do that however, and iirc it boils down to a combo of parsing the URL, URL rewriting, xmlHttpRequest and innerHTML. Feel free to view the source on any page you'd like to see the HTML/CSS/JS for, you...

Unless you possibly meant my new site at wordpress.com (which I don't think you did, but maybe). In which case the technical side is all handled by wordpress.com and I don't worry about it haha. xD

Nah don't worry, I meant this one! But thank you so much! I got really confused about all of this. That's really really good that you got all of this running without any Javascript. Not saying JS is bad, don't get me wrong. I like keeping things as light-weight as possible

I was actually planning on using your Static Ultra project for my site at one point, but it goes by a specific layout.... and I have one already. But I still think it's great and for sure it'd help a lot of people make a website on here

My site as of right now isn't updated on here, it's way more updated on my computer. I plan on updating it in the future. But instead of using an iframe for the pages, I switched it over to using the navigation as a frame. But I want to look into this eventually -

Oh I got that wrong on "without any javascript", you don't use javascript or special techniques like you said for the part of loading the page. I think I said that the wrong way, you can correct me
