How to style wordpress default comment form for TwentyTen?

Published by admin on 9 Oct ’10

Go to your theme open comments.php if you have one:

and find the line:

comment_form();

Replace it with this code which you could change as you like:

$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();

$fields =  array(
 'author' => '<p>' . '<input id="author" name="author" type="text" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ) . '" size="30"' . $aria_req . ' /><label for="author">' . __( 'Name' ) . '</label> ' . ( $req ? '<span>*</span>' : '' ) .
 '</p>',
 'email'  => '<p><input id="email" name="email" type="text" value="' . esc_attr(  $commenter['comment_author_email'] ) . '" size="30"' . $aria_req . ' /><label for="email">' . __( 'Email' ) . '</label> ' . ( $req ? '<span>*</span>' : '' ) .
 '</p>',
 'url'    => '<p><input id="url" name="url" type="text" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author_url'] ) . '" size="30" /><label for="url">' . __( 'Website' ) . '</label>' .
 '</p>',
);

$defaults = array(
 'fields'               => apply_filters( 'comment_form_default_fields', $fields ),
);

comment_form($defaults);

How wordpress more link can navigate to top of the full article window?

Published by admin on 9 Oct ’10

By default, when you click on the Read More link, the web page loads and then “jumps” to the spot where the <–more–> tag is set in the post. If you do not want that “jump”, you can use this code in your theme’s functions.php:

function remove_more_jump_link($link) {
$offset = strpos($link, '#more-');
if ($offset) {
$end = strpos($link, '"',$offset);
}
if ($end) {
$link = substr_replace($link, '', $offset, $end-$offset);
}
return $link;
}
add_filter('the_content_more_link', 'remove_more_jump_link');

Function to get wordpress theme URL

Published by admin on 8 Oct ’10

This function will return the theme directory URL so you can use it in other functions:

get_bloginfo('template_directory');

Alternatively, this function will echo the theme directory URL to the browser:

bloginfo('template_directory');

So an example for an image in the themes images/headers folder would be:

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/headers/image.jpg" />

How to move a wordpress blog site to another location?

Published by admin on 23 Sep ’10

Easy answer for most installations:

  • If database and URL remains the same, you can move by just copying your files and database.
  • If database name or user changes, edit wp-config.php to have the correct values.
  • If you want to test before you switch, you must temporarily change “siteurl” and “home” in the database table “wp_options” (through phpMyAdmin or similar).
    If you had any kind of rewrites (permalinks) setup you must disable .htaccess and reconfigure permalinks when it goes live.
