Put comments on a separate page (in wordpress)

I've had a few clients ask for this, and I saw some requests to do this on the forums, but no one ever that I found came up with a solution. Here's the scenario, you have your blog posts, and maybe they're long, and rather than make the page *even longer* by dumping the comments [...]

Moving a Wordpress Install

One of my clients recently purchased new servers and wanted to migrate all their sites to the new servers. Some of these sites were wordpress powered. Thankfully, I found this article that made the move a breeze.
The critical thing I want to save for my future reference is the following sql lines from that post:
UPDATE [...]

Get Wordpress to use sendmail instead of mail()

Same project I just mentioned below - something funky was going on with Wordpress not sending emails. I had a server admin looking at the server and I'd submit a comment on the corporate blog and no emails would get sent. I even tried using a plugin that forced wordpress to use SMTP, still would [...]

Pulling in post content from a separate blog install

I had a site I was using Wordpress for - and it actually involved two separate installs. One install was set up as the main content management for the site. Pages were obviously the pages of the site. Posts were for news and Press Release articles. A separate install was for the "corporate blog."
I had [...]

Using Wordpress (with some modifications) as a CMS

For a long time one of the things I've liked about Wordpress is it's flexibility. I recently did a project for Savvydog Design for one of their clients: the National WASP WWII Museum - that involved doing some customizations to Wordpress. They wanted most of the pages on the site to be editable (I used [...]

Next Previous Posts in Same Category

I've gotten a few emails about my (old) Next/Previous Post in Same Category plugin and about the fact that's its broken - however, this functionality is now built into wordpress. (and I have it working on the site right now as a matter of fact). I'm a bit behind on what has been included with [...]

Insert text/image block in the middle of a WordPress category page

For a long time I resisted the urge to put ads on the site. I'm sure you've noticed I finally caved in this past year. I've tried to keep it relatively unobtrusive. In one case I was contacted directly to put an ad up on one of my category pages in the content area. I [...]

Listing subpages in Wordpress

I was looking for a way to list sub pages in a navigation bar if you were either on the "parent" page or one of it's sub pages. I found this page on Clioweb that was perfect.
What's also nice is that it gives you the variable $parent_id to play with if you need to. Copied [...]

Wordpress: Make home page show latest post (in the "single post" format)

In a custom wordpress theme design I was working on tonight, I was trying to do as the title describes - make the home page show only one post (yes I know there's already a built in way to do this) but I wanted it to show up the same way the single view shows [...]

Decoder Button

Had to create a plugin. Guess this means I'm getting back in the groove. ;P Referring back to these posts, this plugin will make a button on your edit post/page making it possible to paste some code you wanted to show, select the code, then click "decode" - which will convert your < to &lt; [...]
