pontecesures.net is a personal project I’ve been running for years: the news portal of Pontecesures, my home town, a Galician municipality of about 3,000 people. The idea has always been a simple one — keeping the information about what happens there alive. Twenty-one years of archive, from 2005 to 2026, 29,559 entries.

The problem is that most of them are uncategorised or categorised inconsistently. When you’ve been publishing for two decades, taxonomies decay on their own: I ended up with 56 categories that no longer meant anything. An archive like that stops being browsable, and at that point much of its value is lost. It’s exactly the kind of task you keep putting off, and one I had wanted to tackle for a long time.

As a proof of concept, I’m making a small API in Golang that, on an Apache with mod_proxy, serves certain content to a WordPress site.

Theme My Login is a plugin that allows us to adapt all elements related to: Registration, Login, … of a WordPress site to our needs.

Inside the plugin folder, we find the templates in the “templates” folder. As is standard practice, we should not modify these templates directly. We can copy them to the root of our theme and modify them there. From that point on, those templates will be used by our site, without a plugin update affecting the changes made.
