Wordpress

I recently noticed on one of my sites that wordpress posts from a particular category were appearing in the site’s rss feed. That category was only meant for people who had the specific url. Not secure, I know, but we weren’t too worried if the urls got passed around. However, we didn’t want them in […]

I came across an issue the other day and resolved it with the help of my friend Adrian Pavone. I couldn’t find an answer anywhere, so I figured I’d give it here for the next person who wants to do it. There’s two cool wordpress plugins, WP YouTube and Youtube Thumbnailer that I wanted to […]

I did a brand new wordpress setup  for a client and when I went to the permalinks settings it was blank. No options to change the permalink structure from the awful default settings. I found out a fix for it and thought I’d share it with you. The file that should display is /wp-admin/options-permalink.php, but […]

I didn’t know this until today, so please bear with me if it’s old hat for you… If you publish a post on your blog that runs wordpress and later decide to change the url, wordpress has an inbuilt redirect for your readers. Let me explain… I recently did a post that I titled 20 […]

It’s time to update my list of wordpress plugins. Some that used to work don’t and there are some that have been superceded by much better plugins. I’ve just done a complete wipe of the site and SQL for a number of reasons, which I’ll explain in another post. So now’s a great time to […]

Review of plugins to improve your self-hosted wordpress experience. These are all tested with several themes on Wordpress 2.7.1 and have passed with flying colors.

Going noFollow free in the comments raises several issues, the chief of which is spam. That ugly thing where low-life types try to take advantage of […]

Further to my previous post, where I said I’d look into how to “nofollow” links from the WordPress Photo Dropper Plugin… Open the file wp-content/plugins/photo_dropper/flikr-js.php. Scroll down to the code that looks like: var licenceHTML = ‘<br /><small><a href=”‘+license_url[1]+’” title=”‘+license_url[0]+’” target=”_blank”><img src=”‘+wppd_dir+’images/cc.png” alt=”Creative Commons License” border=”0″ width=”16″ height=”16″ align=”absmiddle” /></a> <a href=”http://www.photodropper.com/photos/” target=”_blank”>photo</a> credit: <a […]

I’m always on the lookout for plugins that will benefit my wordpress blogs. I noticed recently that I don’t have much color on this blog and wanted to spice it up. I found Photo Dropper, which allows you to easily search for and add creative commons licensed photos. At the time of writing, I am […]
