Changing your feedbuner form to work with Google
A lot of you may be using a email form to gather email’s via Feedburner. I am use that by now you know Google has decided to dump feedburner.com and move all feeds through Google Proxy or Feeburner2 which is a Google Server. Here is the new form you will need to put on your site to get new email address’s:
<form action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=YOUR_FEED_NAME', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"> <p class="form-label">Enter your email address:</p><p><input type="text" style="width:140px" name="email"/></p> <input type="hidden" value="YOUR_FEED_NAME" name="url"/> <input type="hidden" value="<?php bloginfo('name') ?>" name="title"/> <input type="hidden" name="loc" value="en_US"/> <input id="submit" type="submit" value="Subscribe" /> </form>
That’s it, just be sure to change YOUR_FEED_NAME
to your feed name. For example, my feed is now http://feeds2.feedburner.com/WPCult. Where WPCult is now my ID.
Tips & Tricks
Echo custom fields in any category
Here is a neat trick. Say you want to show a custom field in you post or in a certain categories post. There is a simple code you need to write in order to accomplish this:
<?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, "image", $single = true); ?> <?php if($image != '') : if(in_category(7)) { echo ''; } else { ?> <img src="<?php echo $image ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
In the example above I am calling the variable $image
and telling the server that it equals the value of “image” inside get_post_meta
or “custom field” of the current post.
Then we are asking if that variable $image
doesn’t equal nothing or !=
and if it is in the category id of 7, echo what ever is in the single quotes (which is nothing in this example), otherwise show the <img>
and the value inside “image” which should be the location of the image.
Update: Thanks to Austin from PressedWords for pointing out his trick, from the comment below.
Tips & Tricks
Disable caching of your site or post
I talked about Disabling search engine on search pages in a previous post using the meta tag
. Today lets go over the web bots Cached copy of your site. If you are working on builder your blog, or have a temporary site up, use the following code:
<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">
This will tell any bot to follow your site, index it, but prevents a cached copy of this page from being available in the search results.
Tips & Tricks
Disable search engine on search pages
A good idea when trying to get the most out of your blog is usging the meta tag to tell the web bots to search & index your site. But for good SEO you should apply this code in your header.php
file of your WordPress blog.
<?php if(is_search()) { ?> <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /> <?php }?>
This will keep your site from getting a hit from bots over duplicate entries. 🙂
