What is the best practice to localize content? (Geographic not langauge)
I guess this thread will steal you more than a day. After reading through it and all the code it contains, you’ll be more than happy… or maybe just confused 😉
content
Display a specified content on a Page and all its child pages
You can do that by using this nice little function: function is_page_or_child_of($slug){ global $post; if (empty($slug)) return false; //is it the page? if ($post->post_name = $slug) return true; //check the children $page = get_page_by_path($slug); $children = get_pages(‘child_of=”.$page->ID.”&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc’); foreach ($children as $sub){ if ($post->ID == $sub->ID){ return true; } } return false; } and instead of … Read more
the_excerpt function not showing image
If you did not set an explicit excerpt for your post in the post editor, WordPress by default calls wp_trim_excerpt() to auto-generate an excerpt.

Extract Information from post content (using regex?)
This belongs to stackoverflow. Here’s a solution anyway: $content = preg_replace_callback(‘/\%replaceContent:{(.*?)}\%/’, ‘do_replacements’, $content); function do_replacements($matches){ $type = $matches[1]; // here’s your {type} $replacement = “…replacement for {$type}”; return $replacement; }
How to show content for posts of a specific category only
You can use the in_category function to test if the current post in the loop is in the specific category you want to display full content for. For example if ( in_category( ‘my_category’) ) : the_content(); else : the_excerpt(); endif; For more information on the in_category function see the WordPress codex at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category
