  • Enable Featured Images for Posts in WordPress

    December 20, 2012

    When I am creating my WordPress sites one of my favorite things to do is enable the featured images for posts. This allows me to take advantage of a whole host of WordPress plugins which can auto-display these thumbnails. The trouble is, this isn’t enabled by default. In fact, it’s really up to the theme [...]

  • WordPress Auto-Add Paragraphs to Double Spaced Text

    September 20, 2012

    I’ve had to look this one up twice now when doing WordPress theme-ing so that’s usually when I know I have to get this down on my blog so I can look it up easily. Hopefully by writing this post out for everyone I’ll just commit this WordPress function to memory. If you are familiar [...]

  • How to Borrow WordPress’s URL Sanitize Function

    July 19, 2012

    If you’re a loyal reader of my blog you’ll know that I am a huge fan of WordPress. One of the great features that really floats my boat is the sanitize functionality used to convert a post title into a SEO-friendly URL permalink. In fact, they have many sanitize functions dedicated to converting all sorts [...]

  • Fix PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent

    July 14, 2012

    This annoying warning can occur in a PHP file that gets executed on a web page before any HTML is output. What happens is the PHP file may be itself outputting something, causing header information to be sent twice when the rest of your script executes. I’ve mainly encountered this issue when doing WordPress plugin [...]

  • Fix CommentLuv “A feed could not be found” Error

    February 24, 2012

    CommentLuv is a great WordPress plugin that allows commenters to be rewarded for their comments with a link back to their blog. I discovered some sites that were using this and so I wanted to get in on the action too. Unfortunately, my initial attempt was thwarted by “A feed could not be found” error. [...]

  • Fix WordPress 3.3.1 Fatal Error: Call to undefined function is_rtl()

    January 30, 2012

    If you recently upgraded to WordPress 3.3.1 like me, you may notice that you may be getting this error message below: Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_rtl() in /home/user/public_html/wp-includes/general-template.php on line 2102 Or something similar. For me it was a pretty bad error: while the website loaded fine, I was unable to access the [...]

  • Styling WordPress Pages as Inline List without CSS

    May 2, 2011

    WordPress has a number of great built-in functions that you can use throughout your theme, but you’re pretty much limited to accepting any list of pages output as <ul> lists. But what if you don’t want a vertical top to bottom unordered list? Would it be possible using CSS to style the list so that [...]

  • Hide or Disable the Admin Bar in WordPress 3.1

    March 28, 2011

    Recently, I wrote about how to fix the blank admin bar in your theme on a newly upgraded WordPress 3.1 installation. This is a great new feature introduced in WordPress 3.1 that lets you get access to commonly used tasks in the dashboard, even while you are viewing your website. However it’s not for everybody [...]

  • Fix Blank Admin Nav Bar in Theme on WordPress 3.1

    March 21, 2011

    If you’ve recently upgraded to the latest release of WordPress, then you’ll notice a nifty new admin navigation bar at the top of your dashboard in the admin section of your website. I really like this feature as you can quickly navigate to some of the more used functions like creating a new post/page, jumping [...]

  • Adding www to WordPress 3.0+ Multisite/MU Root Domain

    March 6, 2011

    If you’ve used the multisite option on WordPress 3.0 and greater, you’ll notice that you may have your ‘www’ stripped from your main blog root domain. Supposedly, WordPress 3.0 was supposed to automatically handle your ‘www’ if you had specified it properly when you made the initial installation. But what about the rest of us [...]
