Like most others, I highly recommend using WPTouch. However, it’s built more to support blogs than other website formats, so I know it’s not the panacea of mobile solutions (I run my portfolio on WordPress as well as my blog, and my portfolio looks like **** in WPTouch). So I did take a look at … Read more
In addition to the other two suggestions, there is another possible approach: move all of your custom-app functionality out of the Theme, and into a hosted web service, to which the Theme connects via API key. That way, redistribution of the Theme itself does not impact your custom app-based business model, because the app would … Read more
Usually, you don’t need it. But … there is at least one edge case: If a theme file is a template part, and it is using global variables from the calling context (parent file), and register_globals is on, and it is just using these variables without any security check … … an attacker can call … Read more

It means that if you want to use AJAX calls in frontend, then you have to define such variable by yourself. Good way to do this is to use wp_localize_script. Let’s assume your AJAX calls … Read more
I think you have to be a little careful because it depends on what you are trying to do. If you are using a child theme get_template_directory(); will still go to the parent theme. However get_stylesheet_directory(); will go to the current theme, child or parent. Also, both these functions return absolute server paths. If you … Read more
This function will return the theme directory URL so you can use it in other functions: get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’); Alternatively, this function will echo the theme directory URL to the browser: bloginfo(‘template_directory’); So an example for an image in the themes images/headers folder would be: <img src=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/665/<?php bloginfo(“template_directory’); ?>/images/headers/image.jpg” />
