If you use Alinks on your wordpress installation, here are a couple more modules which could help you monitize your website or at the very least make it more user friendly.

I have started a new project, called Abandoned Plugins.  I will be supporting plugins that I have found no longer have support, and taking new unsupported plugins under my wing.

The plugins that I am supporting from the site currently are:

D13 Gallery Plugin

RC_CustomFields_GUI Plugin

If you have comments, suggestions, or a plugin that needs updating, please leave a comment on http://abandonedplugins.com

This might only apply to 2.2.2 but hopefully not.

at the very first line of your very first piece of code in your template do this:

$wpdb->hide_errors();

If you want to, you can do it in your header file with:

global $wpdb;

$wpdb->hide_errors();

Oh god, Im so glad it’s finally over…

If you have the desire to customize your WordPress blog, and have attempted it, you surely know that it is a pain sometimes.

I was trying to cutomize my category pages to show the most recent post for that category, and only posts for that category.

• Create a file called category.php in your theme’s directory.
  • This will default WordPress to use this page for categories from now on.
• For showing only the most recent post with this category: Use this code:

<?php
get_header();
//the following gets an array of the categories for this post

$get_cat = get_the_category();

//the following will get the first category for your post and create a WordPress query that uses “The Loop” to show the most

// recent post from that category

$q = ‘cat=’.$get_cat[0]->cat_ID.’&showposts=1′;
$my_query = new WP_Query($q);
//the rest is just like everywhere else that you show posts on your blog

if($my_query->have_posts()){
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
?>
<h2>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</h2>
<?php
the_content(’Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
<?php
endwhile;
}else{
?>
<h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
<p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>
<?php
}

get_footer();
?>

• For showing the only post with this category or showing the titles only if there are multiple posts: Use this code:

<?php
get_header();
$get_cat = get_the_category();
$q = ‘cat=’.$get_cat[0]->cat_ID.’&showposts=1′;
$my_query = new WP_Query($q);
if($my_query->have_posts()){
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
?>
<h2>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</h2>
<?php
//this is all I added to the previous one, it checks to see how many posts there are
if(count($posts) > 1){
the_content(’Read the rest of this entry »’);
}
?>

<?php
endwhile;
}else{
?>
<h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
<p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>
<?php
}

get_footer();
?>

Now you can add the other normal wordpress template tags in these, just place them and try it out.

Note: The best Codex page I found for templating is here: The WordPress Loop
