In a custom wordpress theme design I was working on tonight, I was trying to do as the title describes – make the home page show only one post (yes I know there's already a built in way to do this) but I wanted it to show up the same way the single view shows […]

Feedback to users about what is happening on the site is always a good thing. Especially if it's to tell them why a comment they just submitted is not appearing on the site. WordPress Hack: Notify Users of Moderation Mark has a hack that will pop up a javascript alert to let users know when […]

One of the things that drove me to WordPress was the fact that it was PHP based. It leaves the doors wide open for you to do practically any kind of hack you could possibly think of. I recently reworked Pixelog.org for Christine. The original was a table based design, powered by MT. Now it's […]

This isn't really new – but just stumbled on this post in the wp forums and wanted to save the link in case I ever needed it. WordPress Hack: only registered users can post comments

If a lot of comment spam has been thrown into moderation, I want […]

I'm not a big fan of the "curly" quotes. WordPress does them automatically – but this can really mess you up if you're copying and pasting code from a post. So I've turned them off… As seen on this thread on the WP support forum – I've commented out all the lines at the end […]

In the interest of making things simpler – I created a special version of the wp comments page that you can just upload and be done with it. So: 1) you need the show/hide more plugin installed. (if it isn't already) 2) Download this file, save it as "wp-dropdown-comments.php" into your wordpress install directory. 3) […]
