I know it's in the title, but I'll say it again. I'm NOT an SEO expert. I don't even pretend to be one on TV or anywhere else. But I've been working on websites specifically for about 13 or 14 years, so I guess I've probably learned a few things along the way. Maybe this […]

For some custom templates, I need to get information from various WordPress objects, either relating to the current page, or from elsewhere in the site. The best way to do that is to get the object in a variable then do a print_r($objectvar) to see all the information included with that object. Even though I […]

I recently had a client who wanted to move from TypePad to WordPress. An interesting procedure, let me tell you. The most critical help came from this post on foliovision.com. Of particular note, was the way they pulled down all the images from the Typepad site – using HTTrack. My original plan was to use […]
I've run into this problem a few times now and it always takes me a minute or two to remember what caused it and how to fix it. So first of all, if you have NEVER seen the admin bar, make sure you: 1) have it activated in your profile to show where you want […]
For awhile now, I've run into pagination problems when doing custom templates and custom queries. I think I'm finally starting to figure out all the little nuances.

If you are hosted on Bluehost and you're using WordPress, you might have noticed the strange "from" address in the emails WordPress appears to be sending out.

The way Bluehost servers are setup, the address "wordpress@{YOURDOMAIN.COM}" needs to actually exist somehow in your […]
If you run any contests on your blog, and you use your comments to collect entries into the contest – you might run into some difficulty if you get a great number of comments. I was asked by Jyl (MomItForward.com) to develop a plugin that would allow her to download all comments from a post […]
Code is below with comments to explain what's going on. This code would go on your taxonomy.php page… <?php //get current term info $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); //store curent term's id as first in the array $breadcrumbarray[] = $term->term_id; //transfer the term info object so we don't mess […]
A quick post to deal with a problem I've come across again and again. I think I see the issue now, and wanted to make a note of what I *think* I'm seeing. I've also seen some complain about this same problem too. When you use wp_nav_menu() to create your nav bar, it will automatically […]
