Terraforming the application landscape to help spread the Caddy message

We’ve had our first terraforming breakthrough! We’ve gone from a single Caddy V1 reference in a WordPress support doc and now have a Caddy V2 reference in a second WordPress doc. That’s a 100% improvement!. Refer to the bottom of the WordPress support document Giving WordPress Its Own Directory. This is actually a very significant WordPress article as it’s referenced from within WordPress itself.

Now the bad news. It appears the WordPress doc team aren’t keen on merging Caddy snippets into WordPress support articles, but are quite happy to include a link in a WordPress support doc to a Caddy wiki article. More info in this post Using Permalinks: Update Caddy references · Issue #8 · WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker · GitHub.

This means I’m going to have to :unamused: create wiki articles out of the following help threads:

  1. Development: Caddy considerations when using permalinks in WordPress
  2. Development: Using Caddy to harden WordPress
  3. Development: Using Caddy to deter brute force attacks in WordPress
  4. Development: HTTPS for WordPress using Caddy

This is probably not such a bad idea as it may give a sense of how many hits (views) the wiki article has through the link reference.
