Before we go into details, it should be noted that the guides you are referring to is only what it is, a guide. Just like coding standards (which not even the core developers stick to 🙂), the WordPress Handbook is just a guide to developers, it is not the alpha and omega. The basic idea … Read more
This has been a reoccurring issue in WordPress. See these old trac links that are 9, 7 and 6 years-old respectively: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3614, https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5303, https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14579 The challenge is that WordPress was built primarily for chronological posts since it began as a blogging tool. Page management was always secondary. WordPress still lacks an elegant solution for large-scale … Read more
Take a look at this plugin, WidgetLogic. From the description: This plugin gives every widget an extra control field called “Widget logic” that lets you control the pages that the widget will appear on. I’ve used it successfully.
Sociable adds sharing links for any social network sites you want (configurable). To my knowledge, it doesn’t add any trackware on the page (I have yet to see an officially hosted plugin do that).
There seem to be a few people scratching this itch over at the TinyMCE sourceforge tracker. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103281&atid=738747 This looks promising.. “CodeExtras adds <var> and <code> markup buttons – ID: 2904557″ http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2904557&group_id=103281&atid=738747
WordPress makes use of the reliable PHP error logging. It provides an API of it’s own and it’s fully documented here: Error Handling and Logging and often it’s already well integrated into server configurations. For optional logging you can just use trigger_error() with it’s default error-type notice (E_USER_NOTICE). Doing so will ensure you’re streamlined with … Read more
UPDATE: The “easiest” way is to use my new plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/enhanced-menu-editor/ It’s not approved yet, but once it is I’ll publish the widget. Not only does it allow for copying menus, but you can also synchronize the menu structure you establish in the menu editor to the page heirarchy of the pages themselves. So you … Read more
Following snippet will disable it for post_type post (modify array below to affect other post_types): function qtrans_disable() { global $typenow, $pagenow; if (in_array($typenow, array(‘post’)) && // post_types where qTranslate should be disabled in_array($pagenow, array(‘post-new.php’, ‘post.php’))) { remove_action(‘admin_head’, ‘qtrans_adminHeader’); remove_filter(‘admin_footer’, ‘qtrans_modifyExcerpt’); remove_filter(‘the_editor’, ‘qtrans_modifyRichEditor’); } } add_action(‘current_screen’, ‘qtrans_disable’); Similarly you can disable it for specific post IDs. … Read more
I would say that one line would be presention versus creation of content. It is one thing to have a slider that displays certain posts; it is another entirely to have a new post type for the slider. A slider can be set to display content based on existing taxonomies, or existing post meta (such … Read more
