Custom Styling Wordpress Widgets
I love Wordpress because I learn more about PHP and how it works with every requirement that comes my way. One issue is with a Wordpress theme that has multiple widgets, and you want each section of widgets to be styled differently. Let’s say you have two sections of widgets on your website:
Sidebar (the basic [...]
Wordpress Author Link Open in New Window
Very frustrating the default Wordpress code allows Author links (found in Comments for example) to open in the same window. To change this open up the ../wp-includes/comment-template.php file and find the following:
$return = “<a href=’$url’ rel=’external nofollow’>$author</a>”;
And add
target=’_blank’
to the end. That is all. Now viewers will be able view the Author links while staying on [...]
Wordpress Header Div Clickable
If you’re using Wordpress, which if not we need to have a talk, then most likely you are using a background image in the ‘header’ div. We are doing the same thing with The Blogosaurus, and wanted our header image to become a clickable link without messing with the header.php file and keeping the ‘header’ [...]
NextGen Gallery Images Not Uploading in Wordpress
I am working on a website using Wordpress for a home builder in Florida, and they needed a gallery to be created for their homes. I installed NextGen Gallery for Wordpress, but when I tried to upload an image to the album it wouldn’t let me.

Include Any RSS Feed on Your Wordpress Site
To include any rss feed to be displayed on your Wordpress website, simply enter the following php code into a text widget,
<?php include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.’/rss.php’);
wp_rss(’http://theblogosaurus.com/?feed=rss2′, 3); ?>
The parts you will need to edit will be the url. Simply change it to your rss feed’s url.
The number at the end dictates how many posts to show.
List of Posts by Authors in a Wordpress Blog
I had to recently create a list which would link to every author in a mult-author blog, and had no idea how to do it. Luckily I was able to get a quick reply on the Wordpress forums when I was looking for a list of Authors plugin. Instead of using a Plugin, I simply [...]
One Category on Front Page in Wordpress
I just learned a quick and easy way to show just one category on the front page while working on the French artist Thomas Guichard’s new website. I have all of his work set up in a category in his Wordpress CMS website. Categories are Scultpure, Drawing, and Audio Works. I set it up like [...]
Adding Borders to Wordpress Widgets
I have been searching online for a while to add borders around Wordpress widgets, and with my recent project with Exterior Portfolio by Crane I was able to finally figure it out. To add borders to a Wordpress widget, or all of the Wordpress widgets, simply add the following code to your stylesheet.
.widget {
border:2px solid [...]
Wordpress Image Caption CSS
The bad thing about producing a free Wordpress theme to download, is every year the theme will be missing something once Wordpress comes out with newer Systems. Newer systems means new code which was left out in the previous themes designed for the older Wordpress version. Wordpress now has the ability to create image captions [...]
