Tips & Tricks
Adding a external file after the first post
How might you display a Google ad after the first post or anything you like? It is very simple. You just need to add the variable $loopcounter
in the Loop. If the $loopcounter
is less than or equal to 1, then include your option. Check out the code:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $loopcounter++; ?> // your loop <?php if ($loopcounter <= 1) { include (STYLESHEETPATH . '/you-file.php'); } ?> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php else : ?> <?php endif; ?>
Pretty simple huh. Well in the $loopcounter
line, you may change the include to point to any file or maybe a custom widget like so:
<?php if ($loopcounter <= 1) { dynamic_sidebar( 'Plus Post' ); } ?>
Or use your code directly in between the {
& }
.

Remove the title attribute using jQuery
In WordPress, when you use wp_page_menu
your anchor attribute’s usually carry a title with the same name. I’m not sure if it’s correct to do this, but it bother me when I hover over a page menu navigation link and I get a hover of the title.
So on my site I used jQuery to remove the title:
$("#nav a").removeAttr("title");
Pretty simple huh?

How to: Open external links in a new window
Over the weekend, I attended WordCamp Denver, and I was asked by John Hawkins how to force links to open in a new tab with out editing the source code. So, today lets learn a simple jQuery trick to open all external links in your site in a new tab or window. We are going to make sure you have jQuery active on your site, you can do this easily in WordPress, since it’s bundled with the latest installations. Use this code in your header: <?php wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>
then, below the wp_head
add the following:
<script type="text/javacript"> var $j = jQuery.noConflict(); $j(document).ready(function() { //external attribute $j("a:not([@href*=http://YOURSITE.com/])").not("[href^=#]") .addClass("external") .attr({ target: "_blank" }); } ); </script>
That’s it, just make sure you change the http://YOURSITE.com to your website.
Update
If you like you can remove the var $j =
and replace all $j
with simply just $

Fixing plugins not compatible with hybrid 0.4.2
Hey everyone, as you may have noticed I have a running on the site. While everything almost everything moved over smoothly, there was an issue with how my parent theme striped text in typography. This caused some plugins, like cformsII to not be allowed to print to the screen. Justin had helped to find a fix to filter the hybrid_typography
function.
Originally this function filtered out and changed some text that would not validate as XHTML. This had to be removed by running a new function in the child theme’s function.php
file.
add_action('init', 'remove_typography'); function remove_typography() { remove_filter('the_content', 'hybrid_typography', 11); }
