I recently ran into this problem – and I see an old thread on the forums about this. The last post there says to make sure you're logged in. (I can assure I was). But, that's not what was causing the problem. Here are the steps that got me to the problem: Set up a […]

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 […]

I can't speak for anyone else who has run into this problem, but I know I have run into it on more than one occasion. Having just figured out my particular issue this time, I'm making a note for myself (and anyone else who may have the same problem). You may run into this problem […]

When using WordPress as a CMS, I often repurpose the "posts" as other types of content a site may need. For example, news or press releases, or any information that might need the ability to be catgorized and/or tagged (like testimonials). However, this may mean that you need a completely different template for your news […]

On a site I was working on recently, the client was using the Featured Content Galleries plugin for their homepage (you can download it from here) – but they wanted to add a gallery like this to other pages on their website and have other featured content on those pages. This is not a feature […]

Background: For a site I was working on, I was pulling in content from another page onto the homepage. However I wanted to just bring in an excerpt not the whole page. (And actually, a customized excerpt at that – not a default set character or word limit). I also didn't want any images brought […]

One of my clients had set it up so that one particular page in their WordPress install would load as https:// and even though they changed all links they could find in their template to use root-relative links, they were still getting complaints from IE about the page loading some secure and non-secure items. A […]

One problem with the WYSIWYG editor in WordPress is that if you are trying to manually add in a block of HTML, the editor may try to translate that block into paragraph format, inserting <p> tags where you didn't intend, possibly (and most likely) ruining what you were intending to do with your HTML code […]

I was recently asked by a client how they could easily add anchor links within a particularly long post they had made in WordPress. (Ie. a list of links at the top of the page that would jump the user down to the appropriate section where they needed to be.) I thought about maybe explaining […]

One kind of funny thing with WordPress is that entering HTML in the post window can sometimes lead to unexpected results. Sometimes WordPress (or probably more specifically the WYSIWYG visual editor) will eat some or all of the HTML. A friend of mine (Hi Chris!) was asking me how to add line breaks to her […]
