I am working my way through customizing the Worpress default theme. I came up against an issue of formatting archive links. The default theme uses wp_get_archives function defined in general-template.php. The output of the function is customisable, but not customisable enough for me. I can achieve everything I want to do by basically ...

Hi, What tools are there out there for determining why a site takes so long to load pages? I'm using a very simple theme that I changed to fit my needs, it's a brand new site with only two test posts and it takes a while to load. I used YSlow for Firebug and it gives the site a Grade A (90) so that doesn't really help. Is there anythi...

Hi Stackoverflowers, I am writing a Wordpress plugin that does string processing whenever 'the_author' filter event is fired. Obviously, there are more plugins that might respond to this event. I know that you can set the priority of your plugin but for example the Disqus plugin is called before my plugin even when I set my priority to ...
I have a page with a Parent of Main Page (no parent), so that it appears in the main navigation of the site. However, I also want to get to this page through one of the options on a drop-down menu. If I set the parent to that Nav page, it appears in the drop-down but then disappears from the main nav list. For example: Main Nav: Dogs C...
I have a page in Wordpress that loops posts in a specific category. In sidebar.php, I want to get a list of sub pages and display them as a menu. However, when using get_the_ID() or $post->ID, it returns the ID of the last post that was looped, not the page. How do I get the ID of the page in the side bar after I have looped posts in t...

All the twitter status updates on the wordpress sidebar have bit.ly links. When I click on them, I get the 404 page because instead of going bit.ly/uniquenumber it tries to go www.domain.com/blog/"http://bit.ly/uniquenumber/" with www.domain.com/blog being the homepage for the wordpress blog. Is there an easy way to stop it from adding ...
WordPress extraordinaires, I need your help! I need to be able to list the archives, but in a slightly different way than the WP codex, or an hour of Googling will show me. I need the months of the year, as the generic archive function, but only for one year at a time. So, list all the months in 2007. I'll need to be able to use this m...
A client asked me to redesign her web site, built several years ago in WP by another developer. Although I've never worked with WP before, I'm pretty comfortable with html, css, and php, and I more or less understand how WP stores content and dynamically builds pages. But I'm wondering how to approach these challenges: My client's sit...
In my content I'm giving my <h3> tags id's for the sake of direct linking. This is how it looks in the post editor: <h3 id="h3-title">H3 Title</h3> So that I can directly link to it like this: <a href="http://example.com/page#h3-title">H3 Title</a> However, the double quotes are getting escaped somehow, with the html output on...

I am localizing some PHP/XHTML using the gettext() function in a WordPress plugin. WordPress has 'aliases' for these functions such as __() and _e(), the latter of which automatically echoes the arguments. Now, most of my localization has gone pretty straightforward, such as: <h3><?php _e('Authentication', 'domain'); ?></h3> However,...
The template I am using is techified and I would like to change the navbar to link directly to the post, not the category as it does now. Here is the code for header.php.
