WP LOGBOOK

It’s easy but many people don’t have a clue. So I did a pictorial tutorial 2 steps guide. Google no more, it’s all here in this post. =)

I read these resouces:

http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-organize-your-wordpress-blogroll-links/ which shows the actual example code that really works.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_bookmarks which made me understand a little bit more of the parameters.

And I came up with these:

wp_list_bookmarks(‘title_li=&category_name=programs&before=<li>&after=</li>&orderby=id’);

It works! I hope this is useful to you guys too! Cheerz!

I’ve seen the embed code before but I just could not remember where. So I searched it again on the web and Shoutpedia has a facebook note that explains how you can embed videos from Facebook into a WordPress post.

I can’t seem to paste the code here. So check out Shoutpedia note in Facebook.

Hope this helps. That’s all. =)

Yup. Only 3 while social media topics rule the world wide web with infographics. Take a look at these 3 infographics about WordPress. There’s jazz, there’s the blue ocean concept and there’s boxy type. Take your pick.

Do you know of any other infographics about WordPress? Just share in the comments below. =)

Happy New Year to everyone here! Thank you for reading my posts and do come back while I work on my projects. I only post articles that I find useful to my work and hopefully to others.

Today, I have to create a country list drop down menu in the Contact Form 7. And country list has always been a nightmare for me at least. There are many articles out there on how you can do the drop down list in a form with ASP, Javascript and what have you.

But I don’t really have much time to do all that. I use Contact Form 7 and perhaps work smart a little bit by just chunking away a list of common countries that you will find in all other contact forms out there.

And I found two websites that do just that. Check them out and let me know what you think!

Country list with ISO codes from Text Fixer

Country list without ISO codes from OpenConcept.ca

So far, this is the best – Twitter for WordPress plugin which you can find it in the depository or Rick’s plugin page.

It’s really easy to install. There are options for widgets at the sidebar or plain coding. The beauty of using this plugin is that you can actually display a single tweet and style it as a bubble speech! Really cool!

Have you found any better Twitter updates plugins in WordPress?

I needed a way to show post links from my WordPress.com blog into my custom-designed WordPress.org site.

I was searching high and low on the web and finally I managed to read this post. Really help me to understand with his detailed explanation of using the code.

The trick is that if you are inserting this code in an already existing unordered list, it will not work and instead your site will give an error.

Just plainly insert the code without the unordered list

.

Hope this helps! Cheerz!

I am just recording my work right now. I found this to work really well.


function wt_get_category_count($input = '') {
global $wpdb;
if($input == '')
{
$category = get_the_category();
return $category[0]->category_count;
}
elseif(is_numeric($input))
{
$SQL = "SELECT $wpdb->term_taxonomy.count FROM $wpdb->terms, $wpdb->term_taxonomy WHERE $wpdb->terms.term_id=$wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id AND $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id=$input";
return $wpdb->get_var($SQL);
}
else
{
$SQL = "SELECT $wpdb->term_taxonomy.count FROM $wpdb->terms, $wpdb->term_taxonomy WHERE $wpdb->terms.term_id=$wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id AND $wpdb->terms.slug='$input'";
return $wpdb->get_var($SQL);
}
}

Place above in your function.php file.

And then add below inside the regular php begin and end to any location you want the count to be displayed.
echo wt_get_category_count(categoryid);

Thanks to WPCode.net for the post here.

I like this widget plugin created by Tentblogger. Very easy to install and use as a widget in WordPress. Check out the link below to the video on how easy it is to use this WordPress widget plugin.
