Simple Voting for WordPress with PHP and jQuery
I needed to create a simple way for site members to vote on a post and the few scripts I found didn’t really work how I needed them to. So I decided to whip something together myself. I developed a pretty basic script using PHP and jQuery to allow members who are signed in to click on a simple link to add their vote to a post.
Remove the WordPress Generator
WordPress automatically places a line of text between your <head> tags which states the version you currently have installed. I have read that it is there for statistical reasons which is all fine and dandy, but sometimes showing off which version of WP you are using lets hackers know exactly what vulnerabilities your site has.
For security reasons, I suggest removing the generator, and doing so only takes one line of code.
Creating a Mouseover Fade Effect with jQuery
My last little jQuery tutorial was an alternative to using CSS to create an image change on a mouseover. Now I want to take that one step further and add a fade effect. For my example, I am going to make a black and white image fade into a color image. To achieve this effect I am going to introduce the animate function. There are tons of possibilities in regards to jQuery’s animate function, but for this tutorial, I’m going to keep it simple by just using it to do one thing.
Using WP_Query to Fetch Posts in WordPress
I was just putting together a WordPress widget for a client and I came across a small road block. I was using <?php query_post(); ?> to set the loop to act the way I needed it to but when the widget loaded up in the left sidebar, it caused some issues when going to a category page. The problem was the query I initialized in the sidebar was carrying over to the main section. I couldn’t figure out what to do until I stumbled up the wp_query function.
