Just echoing what Chip already said: Themes are for presentation, plugins are for functionality. Custom user registration and a ‘My Account’ panel would be in the realm of custom functionality. To quote another WordPress developer: If you’re building a bathroom and you change the wallpaper, the toilet shouldn’t disappear, too. Themes are the look and … Read more
Due to increased security risks with on-the-fly resizing scripts, I would convert over to the_post_thumbnail() or get_the_post_thumbnail() functions. If your theme doesn’t have post-thumbnail support, add this to your functions.php file. add_theme_support(‘post-thumbnails’); This will help your load times dramatically.
If you do this on archive pages you will get a lot of duplication You can have trouble if one of those elements alters or overwrites $wp_query or $post or any number of other things Keep your page structure clean and logical. What you are asking is something like “Is there any problem with putting … Read more
Nice one for using WordPress, but this is a straight-up HTML question. Nontheless… <div class=”home-post-header”> <h2> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/105657/<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php the_title() ?></a> </h2> </div> h2‘s are considered block-level, whereas a & span are inline. Standards dictate that a block-level element cannot be nested inside an inline one. So use a div instead, & place the … Read more
According to the Codex: wp_enqueue_scripts() links a script file to the generated page at the right time according to the script dependencies, if the script has not been already included and if all the dependencies have been registered. You could either link a script with a handle previously registered using the wp_register_script() function, or provide … Read more
You cannot do that. From the question’s title, it kind of seems you think WooCommece is not a plugin, and you install it using a plugin, but the thing is that WooCommerce is a plugin. You are following a guide called Template structure & Overriding templates via a theme, doing that you are only doing … Read more
To speak generally, you need to define a sidebar for your theme (sidebars contain widgets) and display that sidebar in your template. In your theme’s functions.php file, register a dynamic sidebar using register_sidebar() Create a sidebar.php file in your theme directory that calls dynamic_sidebar() Make sure your other template files (or header.php/footer.php if that is … Read more
The front-end customization options in self-hosted WordPress are absolute. You can edit whatever you want in PHP/HTML templates and CSS style sheets. While WordPress comes with single theme (“Twenty Ten” at moment) the availability of third party free and paid themes for it is huge. See: Where can I download WordPress themes from? for good … Read more
The function the_posts_navigation() was added in WordPress 4.1.0, and will therefore not be available in version 4.0 (which you’re using). It’s highly advised to keep up to date with the latest version of WordPress anyway for security reasons, so you’d be better off updating to the latest WordPress version.
Back with WordPress 3.4.1 the function next_post_link() did not have – see source – the $taxonomy parameter, so it won’t work, no matter what. IIRC the parameter is available since WP 3.8 or 3.9 – but those are pretty old too. Just to say that very clearly, do NOT use such a old version(s) of … Read more
