Conditional Tags and WordPress
The thing I like the most about working with WordPress is its ability to do everything and anything you need it to. When designing a theme, or when using a a pre-made theme, WordPress offers quite a few conditional tags to help customize its look and feel to suit whatever your needs may be.
Conditional tags are used within PHP to state that you want something to happen only “if” something else happens first. For coders this is known as an “if” statement as well.
Searchable Links Plugin for WordPress
Quick on the heels of my first WordPress plugin, Add Logo to Admin, comes a way more complicated plugin that took me quite a while to figure out. Once I actually get some sleep and take a look over it again I will probably put up some tidbits on how to make something like this actually work.
4 More Social Bookmarking Icons
I have had a few requests for icons that I didn’t include in my first set of 8 Free Social Bookmarking Icons, so I decided to throw together another 4. This set contains icons for Yahoo, Google, Newsvine and Twitter. If there are any more that you might need, please let me know so I can put together a complete collection at some point in the future.
Adding Social Bookmarking Links to WordPress
There are plugins that do this but once again, I’m a code junky and I love being able to go in and manipulate the code to get what I want. I just recently added some social bookmarking links at the top of this site, as you can see.
Hiding the WordPress Dashboard for Non-Admin Users
There are two plugins out there that I have found that help customize your WordPress install by removing the dashboard. Why would you want to do this? Well, perhaps you have installed and customized WordPress for a client who really doesn’t need the dashboard, or you don’t want users who login to see the dashboard. Either way, there are options. Something like this is best left to a plugin so that when you upgrade is still functions and you don’t have to go in and change everything.
