One feature I'm extremely excited to see in WordPress 3.0 is the new "Menus" feature. It's pretty easy to add and use in your theme. I was having trouble finding documentation on it, so this is not "official" but this is as far as I can tell, how you can go about using it. First, [...]

One of the projects I've been working on recently is to move a client's Blogger blog into WordPress. The blog is a few years old, but it has an ENORMOUS amount of comments. Doing the standard import from within WordPress wasn't bringing over all the posts and it barely scratched the surface of bringing over [...]

Background: For a site I was working on, I was pulling in content from another page onto the homepage. However I wanted to just bring in an excerpt not the whole page. (And actually, a customized excerpt at that – not a default set character or word limit). I also didn't want any images brought [...]

One problem with the WYSIWYG editor in WordPress is that if you are trying to manually add in a block of HTML, the editor may try to translate that block into paragraph format, inserting <p> tags where you didn't intend, possibly (and most likely) ruining what you were intending to do with your HTML code [...]

This is possibly the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. (This is relevant to version 2.8.4). If you have your WordPress install set up to be http://www.yourdomain.com but your blog install set up to be http://yourdomain.com (note the missing "www") and you try to search for posts from with the WordPress admin, you get redirected [...]

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 that [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I'll make notes of issues I ran into and the solutions as I go along, but so far I've had two three issues come up when upgrading. 1) When I ran the upgrade, it sort of died before finishing… I refreshed and it told me it was all set. Checked on the main page, and [...]
