You’re right, it’s because by default, wp_handle_sideload() requires a valid extension in the URI in order to continue processing the sideload. That is, unless your role has a capability called ‘unfiltered_upload‘, which by default is only given to admins. If it seems appropriate (and safe) for you to grant this capability to the user role … Read more
I believe the primary reason that the GET parameter format is still used for searches is that search forms are regular GET forms that when submitted form URLs with the GET parameters appended. But a further problem with using custom URLs to capture searches is that search terms can be arbitrary text, including slashes, etc, … Read more

Use the second parameter of wp_get_attachment_image_src(): $size. $att = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $att_ID, ‘large-thumb’ ); or $att = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $att_ID, array ( 900, 300 ) ); The size is passed to image_downsize() and there to image_get_intermediate_size().

This way you will have complete control of your URLs. For example you could have one install running out of your /blog … Read more
Demonstrated here: http://thereforei.am/2011/10/28/advanced-taxonomy-queries-with-pretty-urls/ Here’s the final code to autogenerate the necessary rules: It’s quite likely you will at some stage want to programmatically generate rewrite rules for multiple custom post types with various taxonomies. You could do it manually, but that’s no fun. Let’s use an automatic rewrite rule generator. The function below takes a … Read more
You are assigning the attachment URL to your $url variable: $url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id( $id ) ); then passing that same variable back to wp_get_attachment_url: return ‘<img src=”‘ . wp_get_attachment_url( $url ) . ‘”/><a href=”‘ . get_permalink( $id ) . ‘”>’ . get_the_title( $id ) . ‘</a>’; You should simply output it instead: return ‘<img … Read more
You’ve already used sanitize_title once in you code. You need to use that in again, inside the wpse5742_author_link function. $link = str_replace( $author_nicename, sanitize_title($author_nickname), $link ); That should take care of the spaces.
