If you are using the WordPress plugin version of Dagon Design secure php form mailer script, which has been working fine so far, but now it does not display the verification image! Well the chances are that you have changed your permalinks structure. (Its strange as I always use the same structure in my WP instals and never had this issue before, perhaps its when you change the permalink structure after you install DDFM?)
Check if you have the correct configuration in the plugin’s options, but most probably whatever you change in the options, the problem with the verification image …
OK so I used a technique I found here: http://www.problogdesign.com/wordpress/advanced-wordpress-comment-styles-and-tricks/ to setup advanced, nested comments for effutio.
It all works fantastically untill I used the same technique on another site which used more Pages than Posts. There are two parts to the problem that happened on this site.
Firstly the “Reply” link (allowing you to reply to a specific user comment) didnt work and once the first comment was made on the page the comment form would disappear!
The fix to these bugs are as foloows:
1. In your comments.php theme file replace:
with this
2. In wp-includes/comment-template.php at line …

Holy smokes, well this took me around 2 hours to sort out so Im writing it all down so I can save people some time and remember it myself!!
Right OK if you are diving into WP you will undoubtably want to try some wonderful things with the loop, if like me to display posts from a certain category on a page. Well its pretty easy to do but doing so breaks any pagination you may have i.e. WP-Pagenavi or posts_nav_link(). Whatever you are using it will not work if using a custom loop containing a query_posts() or $wp_query() function.…
Well for some reason or other sometimes your WordPress feed will break, which I recently discovered here at effutio. This is normally down to a blank line (error will be on line 1 column 1 or some such) being inserted at the top of the xml file (feedburner especially doesnt like these blank lines)? This extra line could be caused by a plugin or something else, who knows and whos got the time to bloody look through everything to try and fix it. Not I.
Luckily there is a simple and effective fix (provided by www.Wejn.org) and here it is:…

Yes the annoying update/upgrade notice that appears at the top of the admin screen can be a bit annoying. It can also be quite dangerous. DANGEROUS you say…how so?
Well if you have designed a CMS for a client using wordpress and added extra things even its its simple things like changing the admin images or the memory usage. All will be wiped when the client upgrades and their precious site suddenly looks different or doesnt work at all.
Taking the top update nag isnt the only way to update via the admin panel of course buts its the most …

Once you start messing about with WordPress and looking to expand it to fit your websites requirements you will undoubtably want to use different headers, sidebars, footers and even comment templates.
Its actually really easy to do in WordPress and because you will be utilising files that should already exist in your template, it doesnt take long at all.
I guess most people will want to change the sidebar first, implementing new menus i.e. floating it left or right to create different page styles etc, so I will focus on sidebars but applying the principles will work for every template …

I realise this is a very simple thing to achieve in WordPress and has probably been written about a thousand times, however I thought about what a great tool it is in WordPress’s arsenal and surprisingly not used on too many sites Ive seen.
Aside from being able to use page templates to create different page designs they are very useful when using WordPress plugins such as NextGen Gallery and SimplePress Forum.
These two plugins benefit greatly from using a full width page template i.e. no sidebar. So I will not go into the full intricacies of page templates and …

Implementing a Google Custom Search into your WordPress theme is actually pretty easy but requires a little bit of theme jiggery pokery!
OK so first things first:
Create a page called ‘search’ or ‘search results’ in the admin section of your WordPress site. Take a note of the page id, this can normally be found if you hover the mouse pointer over the ‘View Page’ link or go to ‘Edit’ in the Pages menu and hover over the search page (its the number at the end you need). I would also select the full page template for the search page …

Just a little web design hint for your enjoyment.
If you have forms on your website you know how annoying it is that IE renders password boxes smaller than normal text boxes. Well there is a quick and easy CSS fix:
input{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
}
Obviously you can change the family and size to suit your site.…
