In last week’s post, we added a custom taxonomy named ‘brands’ to the Genesis Sample Theme of ThemingWP. To display this new taxonomy in the entry footer of posts, we need to update the Genesis Entry Footer. This post starts with an introduction of the WordPress Meta Data, and the Genesis Post Meta, followed by […]

Creating a custom taxonomy in WordPress
Over at ThemingWP, we wanted to introduce a new taxonomy – brands. A taxonomy dedicated to theme vendors like StudioPress and WooThemes. Brands would become the third taxonomy, next to the default categories and tags. The names of the vendors were already in the database – as tags. This means we had to extract the […]
An intelligent Recent Posts widget with posts from other blogs
In last week’s post we explored the options for displaying recent posts from HostingCaddie, ThemingWP, and this blog on wilwebs.org. With the proper plugin, displaying post excerpts – or even the full post content – is a piece of cake. What I prefer though, is a simple list resembling WordPress’ default recent posts widget, but […]
Four plugins for embedding RSS feeds
WPfy.me has two sister blogs, ThemingWP and HostingCaddie. These three blogs reside under the umbrella of wilwebs.org. A widget that I include on all three blogs is the Recent Posts widget. Over at the site of wilwebs.org, I am not publishing anything yet. The site merely acts as a hub for the three blogs. Because […]
Adding a Read More link to excerpts of StudioPress Whitespace Pro
A user of the StudioPress Whitespace Pro theme told me that, generally, he was happy with the theme. What he found missing though, was a Read More link at the end of post excerpts. Is it possible to include a Read More link in post excerpts? Well, yes. Displaying Read More in post excerpts is […]
Putting your foot down – keep the footer at the bottom of the page
While setting up a new website, have you ever experienced that the page footer is floating somewhere halfway the page? Usually this resolves itself as soon as you start publishing content. But when you also publish smaller posts, or use post formats and publish for example links and quotes, you might encounter those mid-air footers […]
Genesis – Move the menus to the header so that they share the background image
First week of April, Theming WP replaced the WPReviewLab blog. Apart from the name, the biggest change was dropping about half of the theme reviews. All non-responsive themes have been removed. The theme deployed on Theming WP is based on the Genesis Sample theme, the free Genesis child theme that comes with the Genesis Framework. […]
Mobile plugins for WordPress compared
As you probably know, Google has changed its search algorithm again. This time to benefit mobile searchers. Since April 21, mobile users of Google search are presented results not only relevant to their query, but also leading to sites offering a positive user experience on mobile devices. Almost half of the search queries are executed […]
Moving from FeedBurner to MailChimp – a complete migration guide
Until last week, e-mail subscribers to this blog were served through FeedBurner. Last Monday, the e-mail addresses of these subscribers were moved to MailChimp. In case you are thinking about moving from FeedBurner to MailChimp too, this post will show you how to accomplish that successfully. When you are not convinced yet why you should […]
Themify Framework Settings – Configuring your Themify Theme
Themify builds its themes on top of its Themify Framework. This shared foundation makes it easier for Themify to keep all its themes update, freeing resources for new developments rather than maintenance. Which of course benefits the site owners depending on a theme from Themify – especially when these are a member of the Themify […]
