24 Apr ’12

in Coding,Wordpress

First lets install some plugin to show the latest tweets in wordpress. The plugin that I used is this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-for-wordpress/

You can use any plugin.

Install and put the widget in some position.

Here is an example of the output needed for the jQuery to work correctly:

<div>
    <p>A tweet is here</p>
    <p>Another tweet here</p>
    <!-- cont... -->

How to display an archive with all postst in WordPress?

24 Jan ’12

in Wordpress

To do this add another page template in your theme’s folder.

You could create a Page (Write > Write Page) called…,  that just uses a custom Page template implementing query_posts().

I do something similar on my site but don’t list every post! Just the categories with description and such. However, one can combine the idea of a Category Page with what I do on my ‘Archive’ Page:

Sometimes the  function wp_query(); brakes the pagination, so if this hapens use this code insted:

<?php $limit = get_option('posts_per_page'); 
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; 
query_posts('showposts=' . $limit . '&paged=' . $paged); 
$wp_query->is_archive = true; 
$wp_query->is_home = false; ?>

Notes:

$limit is assigned the ‘posts_per_page’ option from your WordPress settings, but can be changed to something else if you like:

$limit = 20;

These:

$wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;

after the query_posts() are important as they force posts_nav_link() (and so pagination) to work, along with a few other helpful results gained for fooling WordPress into thinking we’re in the archive pages.

For the $paged stuff, see:

How to disable wordpress html filter for posts and pages?

24 Oct ’11

in Coding,Wordpress

In some versions of WordPress there is a filter that strips some tags from the html code. If you want to remove this filter just open wp-includes/kses.php and find this row:

function kses_init_filters() {
    // Normal filtering.
    add_filter('pre_comment_content', 'wp_filter_kses');
    add_filter('title_save_pre', 'wp_filter_kses');

    // Post filtering
    add_filter('content_save_pre', 'wp_filter_post_kses');
    add_filter('excerpt_save_pre', 'wp_filter_post_kses');
    add_filter('content_filtered_save_pre', 'wp_filter_post_kses');
}

and comment out the rows that you need:

function kses_init_filters() {
    // Normal filtering.
    add_filter('pre_comment_content', 'wp_filter_kses');
    add_filter('title_save_pre', 'wp_filter_kses');

    // Post filtering
    //add_filter('content_save_pre', 'wp_filter_post_kses');
    add_filter('excerpt_save_pre', 'wp_filter_post_kses');
    //add_filter('content_filtered_save_pre', 'wp_filter_post_kses');
}

Then if you save the post in html it’s OK, but if you switch to normal view and then go back to html view the tags could be stripped again. This hapens most likely from the MCE Editor and to resolve this issue you could install a plugin called TinyMCE Valid Elements or some similar plugin.

How to add extra sidebar to a WordPress theme?

18 Oct ’11

in Coding,Wordpress

To begin the tutorial, extract your theme into a folder and open it to see all the files. If your theme has only one sidebar, then most probably you will NOT find a file called functions.php in your theme folder. In that case you will have to create this file yourself. Just open notepad or any other code editor to start a new file. Put this code into that file:

Problem with category slug renaming in WordPress

13 Oct ’11

in Coding,Wordpress

I had a problem. I couldn’t change the category slug in some of my categories. So I found the solution at:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-slug-cant-be-updated

The problem comes from the fact that the tags and categories are stored in the same table in the database. And the tags also have slugs. So if there is already a tag with the slug that you want to put in the category you can’t do it until you delete the tag or change it’s slug.

You just need to go to the tags table in the admin panel and change the tag slug that’s making the problem.
