Create a simple ticker in this case showing latest tweets in WordPress

Published by admin on 24 Apr ’12

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... -->
</div>

Creating a dropdown menu in WordPress

Published by admin on 13 Feb ’12

In wordpress 3.0 and above there is a nice build in menu. To create a drop down menu using this menu system follow there articles:

http://new2wp.com/pro/jquery-drop-down-menu-wordpress-3-menu/

http://wphacks.com/top-5-wordpress-navigation-menu-tutorials/

This is the main code in the CSS to achive the result:

#menu-header ul ul {
	display: none; /* For testing, change to display: block; */
	list-style:none;
	z-index:100;
}
#menu-header ul li:hover > ul {
	display: block;
}

How to display an archive with all postst in WordPress?

Published by admin on 24 Jan ’12

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.

How to disable wordpress html filter for posts and pages?

Published by admin on 24 Oct ’11

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.
