Customizing the Genesis Entry Footer – all taxonomy on one line

by

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 examples how to customize the Genesis Entry Footer.

Creating a custom taxonomy in WordPress

by

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 vendor names from the tags, and transfer these to the new … [Read more...] about Creating a custom taxonomy in WordPress

An intelligent Recent Posts widget with posts from other blogs

by

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 with items from the three named blogs. And it … [Read more...] about An intelligent Recent Posts widget with posts from other blogs

Four plugins for embedding RSS feeds

Adding a Read More link to excerpts of StudioPress Whitespace Pro

by

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 what most Genesis child themes do. The Whitespace Pro theme suppresses that link in … [Read more...] about Adding a Read More link to excerpts of StudioPress Whitespace Pro

Putting your foot down – keep the footer at the bottom of the page

by

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 regularly. Although, I have noticed this … [Read more...] about Putting your foot down – keep the footer at the bottom of the page

Genesis – Move the menus to the header so that they share the background image

by

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. The widgets areas on the front page, as well … [Read more...] about Genesis – Move the menus to the header so that they share the background image
