Querying multiple WordPress custom fields with AND qualifier
I’m not familiar with the exact way you’re doing it. I’m more familiar with the format that Scribu outlines on his blog. I’d say you should at least be using quote marks on ‘rank’ and ‘Assistant Professor’, but there could be more to it. If that’s not working out, you could go old school and … Read more
Post format selector in Thematic child theme post class
Okay, I’m going on the assumption that the real question is “how do I get Thematic to add the post-format to its body classes?” Try this in your functions.php: function my_thematic_post_format_class( $classes = array() ) { $format = get_post_format(); if ( ” == $format ) $format=”standard”; $classes[] = ‘format-‘ . $format; return $classes; } add_filter( … Read more

Getting rid of the #038; when string replacing content
& is essentially synonym of &. In the_title filter wptexturize() runs with priority 1 (important!) and makes this replacement. So by the time it gets to your format_title() at priority 11 – instead of replacing lone & symbol you replace (and break) chunk of & character entity. So you can: move your function to priority … Read more
Pagination Help on Crazy Custom Authors Page
I doubt you’re going to be able to repurpose WP-PageNavi for this, since you’re not using the built-in queries at all. You should be able to roll pagination yourself, though, and still fall back on some of WordPress’s built-in functionality. In particular, if your URL matches the pattern /meet-the-team/page/3/, the paged querystring variable will automatically … Read more
Friendica integration using wordpress authentication
The way I think this needs to be done: Examine how an existing integration allows a particular CMS to authenticate using wordpress. Possibly this MediaWiki integration. Work out how this authenticates a wordpress user. Examine an existing friendica authentication plugin, such as the LDAP one that comes with the CMS, and update this to use … Read more
Integrating the WordPress admin panel with a frontend theme
To override the CSS on the admin side (in order to make it match your theme) you can enqueue your own css: function admin_custom_css() { wp_enqueue_style( ‘stylesheet_name’, ‘stylesheet.css’) }; add_action(‘admin_enqueue_scripts’, ‘admin_custom_css’ ); This will insert your custom css on every admin page. See this answer for how to do this for certain admin pages only: … Read more
create custom page for statistical data capture and reporting
This is a pretty big project you’re talking about.. Using WordPress as the base CMS isn’t necessarily a bad idea as you/an admin could create new users and it would take care of all the logging in procedures. Firstly I would recommend learning how to make basic WordPress themes. You could try hacking about the … Read more
CSS rules that the theme gets from a function
It’s a CSS answer rather than a WP answer, but adding !important to your CSS rules should do it. Anywhere in your child theme’s CSS that you would like a rule like this… .comment-list .reply a { color: teal; } … to override the inline CSS then try using this in your stylesheet instead: .comment-list … Read more
