Styling Individual Post
In a previous post I showed you how to apply a specific style sheet to particular pages or categories. (See Create Pages With a Different Style Sheet) In this post I’ll show you how to style an individual post such as I have done with this one. Why do that? For several reasons. Perhaps you have some type of announcement to make or maybe you just want to draw attention to a particular post.
In WordPress we can accomplish it easily …
Proposed Change to Forum Appearance
After helping out in the WordPress Support Forum for about a year now one thing has become painfully clear and that is the refusal of many people to use the damn search function. Many of the questions asked are the same ones over and over and have been answered as many times. What is so hard about it? I don’t understand. Although I like the new look of the forum I think more importance (read emphasis) should have been given …
Create Pages With a Different Style Sheet
In this post I’ll show you how to create a WordPress Page which uses its very own style sheet thereby giving it a unique look. For this example, the Page I’m going to use will have the ID 1130.
Look in header.php for the call to your current style sheet. It should look like,
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(’stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
We need to add a couple lines of code so that it now looks like this,
<?php if ( is_page(’1130′) ) { …
RTO Now Powered By WP 2.5
Yeah I know I said I was in no rush to upgrade to WordPress 2.5. But I also said that I have been playing with 2.5 since it was 2.4-bleeding on a local install and I love the new features. The new version is virtually a total rewrite which delivers increased speed to the backend. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the “write post” window. It’s beyond me why the devs moved the stuff from the sidebar to …
Export Your Database
Now that WordPress 2.5 is out I can’t stress enough the importance of backuping up your database prior to making the jump. The new version is almost a complete rewrite and will make many changes to your database, some of which you may or may not like. If you decide for some reason that you don’t like 2.5 and want to revert back to 2.3.3 you will be in for a rude awakening.
Backing up your database is an easy procedure …
Gore Still At It
I see the King of Hot Air himself, Al Gore, was in Montreal attending an environmental training session. While there he took the time to congratulate Quebec on its environmental policies. This coming from a guy who uses more power in one month than the average American family does in a year.
Now I’m not knocking the man for living a lavish lifestyle. He earns, how shall we say, an advanced income so it follows his standard of living will reflect …
Multiple Image Upload in WP 2.5
One of the coolest features of WordPress 2.5 is the ability to upload multiple files, as in images, at once as opposed to one at a time. However, judging by the questions in the WordPress Support Forums and comments I’ve seen on various blogs there seems to be some confusion as to how to do it. It’s very simple actually. I thought I would provide a few screen captures illustrating the process followed by a short video presentation.
While you’re in …
