You’d use the add_theme_page() function. Basically, it’s the same as adding any other settings page, but instead of add_options_page(), you use add_theme_page().

the_tags() is simple for convenience, if you want more control over formatting, use get_the_tags() and output them however you want. EDIT – quick example for the template: <?php $posttags = get_the_tags(); if ($posttags) { echo ‘Read more about ‘; $tag_count = count( $posttags ); $count = 0; foreach( $posttags as $tag ) { $count++; if( … Read more
You have already figured it out but I will post an answer anyway for others. To alter a Query, that has already been set, the easiest way is to use query_posts(). Note this will only work if run before the loop. <?php query_posts(array( ‘post__not_in’ => array(1,2,3,4,’…’) )); ?> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while … Read more
There will be several steps involved in this process, I’ll outline a few here to get you started. Step 1: Set up a Plug-in You can view some more info about them here. I won’t go over the header information in this answer because it’s pretty self-explanatory in that article and your values for it … Read more
Write a function that uses $wpdb->prefix as a fallback. Something like this: function wpse65880_table_with_prefix($table) { // should define array in config file, rather than hard coding $my_tables = array(“table1”, “table2”, “table3”, “table4”); if (in_array($table, $my_tables)) { // “qa_” should also be a config file setting return “qa_” . $table; } else return $wpdb->prefix . $table; … Read more
Rarely do I answer question with simply a plugin recommendation – and I’d never recommend a commercial one – but since there’s a really good plugin for the task of front end profiles/login and such out there, I cannot let it go unmentioned: Check out Theme-My-Login by Jeff Farthing. There ain’t no better solution. It’s … Read more
in stylesheet: .wp-playlist-prev{ width:20px; height:20px; background-image: url(“./theme_images_folder/something_icon.png”); } same for the next button.
The idea is just to programmatically create a path/url in a plugin for a WordPress site (like, “[mysite]/mypath”), and then load an arbitrary html or php file. In case anyone else is looking for something similar, this works for me (in my main plugin function file): register_activation_hook(__FILE__, ‘myplugin_activate’); function myplugin_activate () { create_custom_page(‘mytestpath’); } function … Read more
I’m the author of that plugin and I can confirm there was an issue. It was in the GM\VirtualPages\TemplateLoader::init(); method. Issue was caused by an untested switch from array_merge to wp_parse_args. They are similar, but I would have to inverse order of arguments moving from one to the other. Shame on me. I fixed that … Read more
pre_get_posts does not work as expected on true pages and static front pages. You should create a custom query using WP_Query to return the posts that you need. EDIT Thanks to @birgire in comments, here is an interesting approach using pre_get_posts with a static front page
