Personally, I am sick and tired of the United States government meddling more and more in our lives. The movie and music industry is using our elected officials like puppets (muppets) and we are sitting idly by and letting it happen. Well, I signed the petition, and my voice will be heard next election. G.R.I.P. – Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians. If we really want to make changes, we have to get those that pander to big business out of office and let them know that we have the power to do it. After all, they are there to represent Read More…
A friend of mine recently went through some issues with WordPress and the WYSIWYG editor. His theme's content width is 620px, but the editor is as wide as his screen. With that said, when he would create a post and insert pictures he would have to preview the post over and over to make sure things were falling into the right places. Fortunately, there is an easy fix for this.
For years now, I have been using TinyMCE for WordPress to enhance the editor with some new buttons. However, I only found myself typically using the "Next Page" button and never really touched any of the others. I also noticed that some of the new functionality in WordPress 3.1 wasn't present when using the plugin. In the interest of keeping the "Next Page" button and losing the plugin, you can add some simple code to your functions.php file.
If you have opened up your WordPress site up to user registrations, there are inevitably some things that you just don't want them to see. Unfortunately, by default, there is no way to accomplish this directly from the options within WordPress. Until this day comes, you can remove dashboard items by adding some simple code to your functions.php file.
If you take into consideration that WordPress is the most widely used blogging platform, it is confusing why they are still living in the past. I am referring to the usage of AIM, Jabber, and Yahoo in the user's profile. Currently, within WordPress, there is no way for you to modify these choices. However, with a few simple lines of code in our functions.php file, we can bring WordPress into the 21st century.
There are various ways you can secure your WordPress installation, some of them are true security measures and some of them are just concealers. One thing I have been looking to do with my WordPress installations was to change the URL for user login and registration. I feel as though having wp-login.php in the url is not necessary, this should me modifiable by default, and getting rid of it would make me very happy. Luckily for us, there is an easy way to do this; just a simple theme and .htaccess modification will get the job done.
I love when things go wrong! It gives me an opportunity to, perhaps, enlighten people with solutions that may find themselves in a familiar situation. Recently, I have been toying with some comments systems on the site, namely Intense Debate and DISQUS. In the process of experimenting with both of these services I noticed that there had been no comments since disabling them. Upon further investigation I had realized that after disabling Intense Debate all comments and trackbacks / pingbacks had been disabled. Read More...
WordPress is a very flexible platform for site owners. Unfortunately, by default, WordPress limits many of the things you can do right off the bat. One thing I have encountered lately is the need to have contributors upload images to insert into posts as this is not allowed from the start with WordPress. You may be asking, why is this a big deal? Just make them Authors. Well, the answer is with the roles within WordPress. Read More...
There are many things about WordPress that make life easy... and a few that are a real pain in the butt. One of the pains is the login form's logo and url. If you are like me, you want to brand your sites and doing so gives the site that extra touch of personalization. Not to mention, if you are designing a site for a customer, you don't want a big fat logo for WordPress linking to the WordPress.org site on the login form. Read More...
I can't tell you how many times I have written an article, hit publish, then realized that I made some mistakes. It doesn't matter how much I proofread a post, it happens all the time. With that, our readers get these articles delivered to them through my feed. Wouldn't it be nice if I could delay the feed a bit, just in case I have to make a change? Well, you can... and this is how. Read More...
If you run your site on WordPress and using it as a content management system, you may have realized that there are categories of posts that you don't want published on your feed. There is no easy way to do this through WordPress by default, but that doesn't mean that this isn't possible to accomplish. You can eliminate certain categories easily by editing your theme's functions.php file. Read More...
