Load posts into sidebar and paginate via ajax?

You need to wrap the nonce with quotes and instead of the_permalink() and the_title() use get_permalink() and get_the_title() so like this: <?php $args = array(‘posts_per_page’ => 1); $sidebar = new WP_Query($args); if ( $sidebar->have_posts() ) : while ( $sidebar->have_posts() ) : $sidebar->the_post(); ?> <div class=”story”> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/76921/<?php the_permalink(); ?>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a> </div> … Read more

Side by side blog posts that are tied together

A very simple solution: Add a second editor field to the post editor, and use the meta field content in a filter on the_content. add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpse_77811_extra_content’ ); function wpse_77811_extra_content( $content ) { return $content . get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_t5_extra_box’, TRUE ); }

How can I hook into creating a new post and execute wp_die(), before the post is inserted into the database?

Limit number of posts a user can make per minute?

I would begin with establishing the most friendly approach to this. I think it would be a warning after post Publish/Update button is clicked.
