WordPress search with pagination

Cippo — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:27:24 +0000

I’ve recently had some issues with wordpress search and custom pagination. Google helped me to find a nice WordPress function that displays the pagination without a plugin. So using the function from that page gave me few headaches but I have managed to solve the navigation with the help of a small plugin that’s called Nice Search.

I’ve also had issues making the pagination work with a wp_query ..

How to remove base category in WordPress

Cippo — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 17:09:45 +0000

After wasting precious hours ( maybe days ) looking for a way to remove the base /category/ thing from wordpress category list ( when linking to it ) I couldn’t believe my eyes how easy it was.

No plugins, No PHP, No .htaccess

The most easy way to get rid of that /category/, without -plugins, -.htaccess, -PHP or anything else.from your wordpress categories, you have to put a DOT ( . ) in the base category in permalinks settings.

Make sure that you use for permalink settings something like /%category%/%postname%/

Display backslash in wordpress posts

Cippo — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 08:18:19 +0000

I had a hard time figuring how to make wordpress display backslashes in posts. There are 2 solutions for this problem:

Use html code for backslash which is \
Use double backslashes like \\

The html code must be inserted from “HTML” view, which might be a little inconvenient while the double backslashes can be used in the “Visual” view.

Remove extra slashes

I’ve recently installed the TinyMCE Advanced plugin and when I tried to set properties for my titles, I got something like this:

instead of

so I asked google about it.

I’ve got the following solution, to strip slashes from all the posts:

add_filter('the_content', 'my_strip_slashes');

function my_strip_slashes($content)
{
return stripslashes($content);
}

Place the code above in your functions.php file and your problems are solved. No more headaches.

WordPress 3.0 custom taxonomies

Cippo — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:51:46 +0000

You have to build a website for a restaurant and you have chosen WordPress to do the job. It’s time to add restaurant’s products but you have to classify them. Well there’s a very easy way to do that.

What products does a restaurant have? Well, I think a regular restaurant has Breakfast, Launch, Dinner, Beverage and Dessert.

Open functions.php from your wordpress theme directory and add the following code:

function create_menu_categories() {

register_taxonomy(‘menu_type’, ‘post’, array(‘hierarchical’=>;false, ‘label’=>’Menu type’, ‘query_var’=>true, ‘rewrite’=>true));

}

add_action(‘init’, ‘create_menu_categories’, 0);

Query for posts, using custom tag

To display only posts that have a specific tag from your custom taxonomies, place the code before the loop:

 'dessert', 'showposts' => 10)); ?>

You can change dessert to any other tag listed in the custom taxonomies and you can change, of course, how many posts to show by changing the number 10 to your number.
