WordPress released their press release about WordPress 3.0.4. As soon as it did, I saw the WordPress hashtag on twitter light up – people complaining about having yet another security update. I hate to get on a soapbox about this, but seriously – you’re going to complain about people working to make your site as secure as it could be? There are people working…
You can see it in action on the Social Media Clubhouse website – the various events have various images, logos, and link categories showing up depending on where you are on the site. You can download the plugin from the official WordPress repository, or install it through your local blog! EDIT: Screencast below :)
WordPress 3.0 has plenty of new features, and all of them are worth mentioning and diving deeper into. Over the next few days I'll be diving into the finer features of the newest incarnation of the WordPress platform. Everything from Custom Post Types and Taxonomies to navigational menus and all of the custom functions you can sink your teeth into. Today, we start with…
I’ve been doing a lot of looking into using WordPress as a multi-author website/blog lately. A few of my clients have requested the need to handle (elegantly) multiple authors, so (being fresh on my mind) I feel inclined to share. One of the coolest plugin combinations I’ve come across recently is using Author Spotlight and Authors Widget in combination with a custom author template…
<script type="text/javascript">function initMenus() { $('ul#accordion li ul').hide(); $.each($('ul#accordion'), function(){ $('#' + this.id + '.expandfirst ul:first').show(); }); $('ul#accordion li h2.widgettitle').click( function() { var checkElement = $(this).next(); var parent = this.parentNode.parentNode.id; if($('#' + parent).hasClass('noaccordion')) { $(this).next().slideToggle('normal'); return false; } if((checkElement.is('ul')) && (checkElement.is(':visible'))) { if($('#' + parent).hasClass('collapsible')) { $('#' + parent + ' ul:visible').slideUp('normal'); } return false; } if((checkElement.is('ul')) && (!checkElement.is(':visible'))) { $('#' + parent +…
I’ve been trying some new stuff with my client’s websites as of late. I wanted something where a multi-blog site could get the most out of as few plugins as possible, and still have a really awesome way to display their author’s main information. But, the information they ask for doesn’t have everything. What about twitter profiles? Facebook links? There’s a few things we…
View more documents from Jane Wells. 2. The PHP and WordPress communities can learn a lot from each other. @technosailor gave a fantastic presentation (re: lecture in a discussion-y way) on how the core communities of both the PHP world and the WordPress world could stand to play nicer to each other. Personally, I think that the problem comes from WP people starting out…
When you’re working on a development site it’s hard to set things up correctly because you know you’re going to change the site, and putting in elements that are more than likely “stationary”, such as links, will have to be changed, and that causes un-necessary headache when it comes time to move the site live. But, in the light of wanting to make your…
I’ll type this without the normal pleasantries to make sure this gets out quickly. There’s a WordPress hacker on the loose, and he’s pretty sneaky – he creates a user unseeable to the naked eye (except for the one extra user in the administrator users menu) and masks himself to you, making it easy for him to sneak in and out of the site…
So, you’ve got a personal blog and want to integrate your iTunes playlist into WordPress, but don’t just want to say that you’re listening to a CD – you want to display the album art too? WordPress has a few solutions that work great. The easiest way to do that is by utilizing the “scrobbler” built into last.fm – on which an API can…
