WordPress Hack, WordPress Plugins

Publish The Feed Later: WP Engineer provides a nice tutorial on how to publish your post to your feed a few minutes (configurable) after you publish your post. These few minutes can help you find errors or bugs in your post and fix them before they get sent out via your feed to all your readers. The “hack” requires you to change your theme’s functions.php file and add the code snippet provided. Alternatively you could also use a plugin written by our very own Keith, called Feed Pauser. I see no compatibility information on this plugin (maybe Keith could chime in and let us know) but it does offer further functionality such as the ability to prevent individual posts from appearing in your feed. A useful hack/plugin for those like me who have an itchy post finger.

WordPress Discussions

Functions.php should generally be used when you just want to add a minor feature that requires a single function or few lines of code. However, you cannot use functions.php to run code in the actions such as “plugins_loaded”. This is by design and should be too, as each theme will have their own functions.php file and should only perform functions that relate to displaying the website.

Do You Use The Code Editor?

The code editor. One for plugins and one for themes. If I were using tracking software, it would register me as rarely venturing into that part of the WordPress administration. I’ve used WordPress for two years and I’ve burned myself enough times by using these code editors that I neglect to use them anymore side from looking but not touching code. The biggest problem I have is that it doesn’t contain any revisions. Also, when you click the save button, it reloads the page and causes the scroll bar in the code window to go back to the top meaning I have to remember which line of code I was editing and also remember the change I implemented so I can remove it if I don’t like the desired effects. I’ve really come to appreciate using Control Z on my keyboard to undo changes I don’t like. You can’t do […]

WordPress

In the past few weeks, I’ve come across more and more websites which are in clear violation of the WordPress trademark, namely the domain requirements as outlined here. The simple thing to do when creating a website centered around WordPress is not to have the full name as part of the domain name. For example, fanofwordpress.com. Instead, it should be fanofwp.com. That’s not all that’s trademarked though as the WordPress logo is also registered. The description of the visual trademark according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office is as follows: 26.01.17 – Circles, two concentric; Concentric circles, two; Two concentric circles 26.01.21 – Circles that are totally or partially shaded. 26.17.13 – Letters or words underlined and/or overlined by one or more strokes or lines; Overlined words or letters; Underlined words or letters If you need an official logo to use, this page on the WordPress.org website has […]
