The 5 Best WordPress Add-Ons for Business

September 22, 2009 by Steph Wells

I work as a contractor for several companies, one of which has been using a couple of Ruby on Rails web applications. I worked with a small team of developers to write them: a payment site, and the actual product/service site. As time went by, I became the only developer doing the maintenance and building additions and since software applications take so long to be bug free, these two are far from it. After over a year and more than 1000 users, we are scrapping the Rails apps and replacing them with other options. … [Read more...]

White Magic

September 21, 2009 by Steph Wells

I think I've found the best free iPhone app: White Noise Whenever I turn it on, my two-month old baby instantly stops crying, it helps him get back to sleep without help, and he sleeps a lot longer at night. It puts me right to sleep too. … [Read more...]

Don’t show a WordPress category on posts page

September 17, 2009 by Steph Wells 11 Comments

Have you ever used WordPress posts for something other than a blog post? I use them for FAQ pages, but I don't want the FAQs to show up in the main blog, so I added this into the theme functions.php. It can also be used in a new plugin. (?? = category id number) function exclude_category($query) { if ( $query->is_home ) $query->set('cat', '-??'); return $query; } add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category'); The minus sign in front of the category id means don't include. … [Read more...]

Display Widgets WordPress Plugin

September 6, 2009 by Steph Wells

September 2017 Update: Major security vulnerabilities have been added to this plugin since we turned it over. If you are still using it, update to version 2.7. This plugin will not receive any updates in the future. The WordPress plugin team has shut it down, but added one last version so you can safely update to get rid of the malicious code. 2.7 is exactly the same as the last version we released before selling the plugin (v2.05). Since the WordPress plugin team has taken it over, there will be no updates in the future. If you're looking for an alternative, try Widget Options. They have … [Read more...]

Contact Form 7 Widget WordPress Plugin

September 5, 2009 by Steph Wells

UPDATE: You can now use the Contact Form 7 shortcodes in text widgets. This plugin is no longer needed. If you're looking for an easier alternative to Contact Form 7, try Formidable. If you're using this widget for the styling, please note you can also use the Formidable shortcode in place of the Contact Form 7 shortcode. The Contact Form 7 Widget plugin includes many widget options and must be used alongside either Formidable or Contact Form 7 plugin. We only support the widget plugin and Formidable, but not Contact Form 7. For help and support for the Contact Form 7 plugin, click here. … [Read more...]

When MAMP servers won’t stop/start

August 17, 2009 by Steph Wells

Start the MAMP application. The start page will open a new web browser page, but will fail to connect, which is expected since the server isn't really running although MAMP seems to think it is. Click the Preferences button. In the Preferences window, don’t make any changes. Just click the OK button. Results: The Apache and MySQL servers will stop and restart. Correctly, this time, rather than spinning infinitely. To make sure things are working, click the Open Start Page button; the MAMP start page should then load in a new browser page. If the Dashboard widget still continues to spin, … [Read more...]
