There’s no default way to do that yet, though there is a Trac ticket. I found this (untested) that may work for you: http://www.devblog.fr/2011/05/16/plusieurs-fonds-personnalises-wordpress-add_custom_background/ It’s also worth noting the 3.4’s new way of defining a default background (still just one, though). Edit Here’s the code: <?php function wpse48332_setup_theme() { // Add support for custom backgrounds … Read more
As I was getting at in comment: get_stylesheet_directory() produces local filesystem path get_stylesheet_directory_uri() produces URL Just use latter. 🙂
If you are comfortable with a source control system such as git – one approach I have used successfully is to create a ‘lowest common denominator’ theme with all the standard functionality shared between the sites and nondescript styling (black and white, standard reset and typography styles etc). Then to do a new site, branch … Read more
force_balance_tags() is not a really safe function. It doesn’t use an HTML parser but a bunch of potentially expensive regular expressions. You should use it only if you control the length of the excerpt too. Otherwise you could run into memory issues or some obscure bugs. The other problem is: the function uses two hard-coded … Read more
A transient is not like a wp_cron job in that they don’t update themselves when a set time has elapsed. A transient will update when an attempt is made to access the data. If you actually do need an approximately hourly update you will need to use wp_cron, though in practice it may not matter … Read more
wp_add_inline_style() is intended to add additional CSS to an existing stylesheet. The idea is that you may need to dynamically alter the stylesheet – for instance, you have user-selected colours associated with categories and you would like to colour each category’s title accordingly. You can’t hardcode this since the colours in question are not known, … Read more
Add Section to Theme Customizer: $wp_customize->add_section( ‘parsmizban_options’, array( ‘title’ => __( ‘Theme Options’, ‘parsmizban’ ), //Visible title of section ‘priority’ => 20, //Determines what order this appears in ‘capability’ => ‘edit_theme_options’, //Capability needed to tweak ‘description’ => __(‘Allows you to customize settings for Theme.’, ‘parsmizban’), //Descriptive tooltip ) ); Add new Setting: $wp_customize->add_setting( ‘bootstrap_theme_name’, //No … Read more
I needed this requirement a while back. There’s a selection of plugins available, but nothing took my fancy. They were (in my opinion) either too bloated, poorly written, or the UI was either lacking or overly complex. Then I stumbled upon Term Menu Order. Essentially it adds a menu_order field to the terms database, and … Read more
dynamic_sidebar() calls wp_get_sidebars_widgets() to get all widgets per sidebar. I think filtering this output is the best way to remove a widget from an sidebar. add_filter( ‘sidebars_widgets’, ‘wpse17681_sidebars_widgets’ ); function wpse17681_sidebars_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) { if ( is_page() /* Or whatever */ ) { foreach ( $sidebars_widgets as $sidebar_id => &$widgets ) { if ( ‘my_sidebar’ … Read more
A few things to consider: Enqueue stylesheets properly, using wp_enqueue_style(), and hooked into either wp_enqueue_scripts or wp_print_styles Enqueue scripts properly, using wp_enqueue_script(), and hooked into `wp_enqueue_scripts() Ensure that enqueued stylesheets and scripts are only enqueued on the front end, and not in the admin back end. Bootstrap and similar frameworks should only be used on … Read more
