So I've discovered a new feature in WordPress 2.7 – get_search_form(). What this will do is first (for backward compatibility sake) look for a file named searchform.php in the theme directory – and if it doesn't find it then it generates the HTML for you. (=cringe=) Yeah. You just know I've gotta be overriding that. […]

I've long been a fan of creating non-blog sites using WordPress and pushing it's content management abilities to its maximum. However, I'm about to develop a site that could involve at least a hundred pages. This has been one of the issues I've had with WordPress when used as a CMS – it's "page management" […]

It's been a while since I made a plea for help on here. But this time I'm really stumped. Here's the short story: A brand new clean install of wordpress – no plugins, no posts even except the default post. No funky characters in the blogs name. As plain vanilla as you can get. Run […]

I've had a few clients ask for this, and I saw some requests to do this on the forums, but no one ever that I found came up with a solution. Here's the scenario, you have your blog posts, and maybe they're long, and rather than make the page *even longer* by dumping the comments […]

One of my clients recently purchased new servers and wanted to migrate all their sites to the new servers. Some of these sites were wordpress powered. Thankfully, I found this article that made the move a breeze. The critical thing I want to save for my future reference is the following sql lines from that […]

I had a server admin looking at the server and I'd submit a comment on the corporate blog and no emails would get sent. I even tried using a plugin that forced wordpress to use SMTP, still would […]

I had a site I was using WordPress for – and it actually involved two separate installs. One install was set up as the main content management for the site. Pages were obviously the pages of the site. Posts were for news and Press Release articles. A separate install was for the "corporate blog." I […]

For a long time one of the things I've liked about WordPress is it's flexibility. I recently did a project for Savvydog Design for one of their clients: the National WASP WWII Museum – that involved doing some customizations to WordPress. They wanted most of the pages on the site to be editable (I used […]

I've gotten a few emails about my (old) Next/Previous Post in Same Category plugin and about the fact that's its broken – however, this functionality is now built into wordpress. (and I have it working on the site right now as a matter of fact). I'm a bit behind on what has been included with […]

For a long time I resisted the urge to put ads on the site. I'm sure you've noticed I finally caved in this past year. I've tried to keep it relatively unobtrusive. In one case I was contacted directly to put an ad up on one of my category pages in the content area. I […]
