Wordpress 2.8 Issues

Posted by: Jennifer In: WordPress: Lessons Learned

In case you hadn't heard (and if you're using wordpress, how could you NOT have heard) Wordpress 2.8 is out. One of the features included in this round was a rework of the way Widgets work – including a easier to use API. In light of this, I made use of the new [...]

This is the second time I've run into this problem. I opted not to post about it the first time, because the solution was so simple it was kind of silly. But lo-and-behold – I hit it again and forgot what the solution was anyway.
I know there can be more than one thing [...]

If you are using the default theme and have made modifications to it without renaming it – you may be in for a surprise when you upgrade using the new easy auto-upgrade button. Your theme will be replaced with the original one that WordPress came with. For all I know there's probably already a document/installation [...]

When you use wp_list_pages() – you get a full dump of everything. If you restrict the depth, then you might not be showing the child / subpages under each page.
The code I have below will first list only the "main nav" (parent) pages. If you click on one of the main nav / (parent) [...]

In honor of "Thank a WordPress Plugin Developer" (yes, I know I'm a little late. hush!) I wanted to recognize some plugins and their developers that have made my job so much easier. (FYI – Most of these plugins are particularly helpful when using WordPress as a CMS). I know these kinds of lists have [...]

So I've discovered a new feature in WordPress 2.7 – get_search_form().

Joomla vs Wordpress

Posted by: Jennifer In: Joomla| WordPress

I've long been a fan of creating non-blog sites using WordPress and pushing it's content management abilities to its maximum. However, I'm about to develop a site that could involve at least a hundred pages. This has been one of the issues I've had with WordPress when used as a CMS – it's "page management" [...]

It's been a while since I made a plea for help on here. But this time I'm really stumped.
Here's the short story:
A brand new clean install of wordpress – no plugins, no posts even except the default post. No funky characters in the blogs name. As plain vanilla as you can get. Run a search [...]

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 [...]

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:
