Below I will show how I created the custom permalink structure without creating custom pages

There’s no point in hacking around with the WordPress core code. You still see people doing it sometimes and happily showing off their results, but it just isn’t a good idea. Nobody else can use it without making the same hack(s), which aren’t carried through an automatic update anyway.

Tag clouds accomplish their varied font sizes by applying inline styling to each tag. The resulting font sizes can be really weird like style=’font-size:29.3947354754px;’. There is nothing inherently wrong about that, but it feels a bit unsettling and less controllable

In relation to the better Gallery it is actually not necessary to load the stylesheet if there is no gallery, so it is worth it to check in advance whether the gallery will be used in the post or not. For this you have to parse the post which can be done in two ways.

I had the occasion yesterday to have a page with a section on it where it would output a very specific set of other pages, which would need to change dynamically. What I could have done is built a special page template for this page, and inside that template run a query_posts() to get these posts. But I wanted this page to remain editable from the admin. Besides, creating a special page template every time you need to do something like this is too cumbersome. WordPress is extensible enough to do better. Hence, the Custom Query Shortcode!

In this post, we are going to create our own events list that will let us add events simply by writing posts and assigning them to an “Events” category. It can’t get much easier than that!

Today, I would like to put all my love for WordPress into this tutorial to explain how to build WordPress as a Community News, … but in a right way.

There has been a long debate in web development community about the CMS capabilities of WordPress. Recently WordPress won Overall Best Open Source CMS Award of 2009 and got 2nd position in best Open Source PHP CMS category.

There are many email newsletter solutions like Aweber, one of the most recommended one, but they all charge money. The solution we are going to mention in here by no means can compare to the features provided by the premium service like Aweber, and it must not be considered as the better system. Our solution is rather to give bloggers an affordable and functional method to create newsletter by using the open source software that we all love, WordPress.

Today we are going to look at getting the content of a post using ajax and then display it in a popup box. The popup part is actually the easiest part, thanks to the fantastic Simple Modal plugin for jQuery written by Eric Martin.
