Have been frustrated using just the recent posts widget – many times I update older posts with new information and wanted to be able to alert visitors to these updates – found this little piece of code and it does the job.
Recently had an occasion where I needed to display a specific header on each page of a website project - came up with this after looking around and it worked for me.
Tired of seeing the same old sidebar on every post in your blog or website here’s a way to create custom sidebar configurations and choose which to display on every post or page.
Recently was going back through some older themes (including this one) and updating to take advantage of the new features in WordPress 3.0 – had to search around a little to find the appropriate code snippets to include figured I’d go ahead and list them out here in case anyone else was interested in doing the same thing.
In the past several days a debate has sprung up between Matt Mullenweg ( WordPress C0-Founder) and Chris Pearson (WordPress Theme Developer) over the GNU GPL License.
Well so far – so good with WordPress 3.0 – hasn’t killed any of my websites yet but on the other hand since many of the websites I have are customized I really haven’t been able to take advantage of some of the new features like the menu.
As WordPress continues to roll out updates it’s becoming increasing common for some plugins to fail to survive the update. Early on I was in a habit of immediately updating my sites as soon as the newest version of WordPress rolled out. Then during one update a plugin that was critical to the operation of the site broke causing a mad dash to find a replacement or lose the primary function of the site.
Recently came across a situation designing a wordpress site where the client wanted a mouseover image on the home page of the site, however when I applied the standard mouseover javascript it conflicted with the superfish javascript and broke the site’s navigation menu.
Having developed an event site, WhatsUpWv.com and then expanded by separating content into several subdomains of the main domain I needed an easy way to draw the recent posts from each site and display them – basically to improve and encourage navigation between the sites.
