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…

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)?

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:

In this one Ive added a few extra features. I suddenly thought about the previous tutorial example and saw that any logged in user can see the control panel menu in the sidebar and all the options within it. What if you only want users of a certain level…
