Hello! I've been fiddling around with Wordpress and I've realised that the links and link categories provide very little functionality. For example, I want to display all the links in a certain link category in one page, and not any of the other links. And in the remaining pages I want to display every link except those that have said ...
Any recommendations or best practices for mapping a subdomain to a Wordpress page: http://my-page.mydomain.com -> http://mydomain.com/my-page I don't want to do a redirect either, just keep the original subdomain URL until a different link is click, and then the subdomain is removed. I'm using Apache 2 with mod_rewrite, wordpress 2.7...

I like the look and feel of the WordPress editor (version 2.7), and I would like to use it in another web application that is written in ASP.NET. I've used TinyMCE before, and I've even extended it in the past. However, I can't seem to get the Wordpress configuration to work! I've downloaded the entire WordPress package and taken the ...

Will Google punish me for doing this by claiming that I have "duplicate con...

So I'd like to find all posts that are about cats...

There seem to be three main ways to output content from Wordpress using its built-in functions, with WP_Query being the recommended one: WP_Query query_posts get_posts What are the differences between them? (I understand that WP_Query is the class, and the other two are methods). What is the cleanest way to have multiple loops on th...
I've done a lot of small projects on the side lately where the client wants a good chunk of the website to stay the same, they just want to be able to edit particular "areas" of the site. Namely, some text in some box somewhere. I've found that WordPress works for this pretty well. The interface is nice and friendly to use, and it's go...
I am trying to integrate my site to use the bbpress/wordpress user system. All I need is the ability to get the User Name and/or User ID of the person currently on my site.

I've got a page that has a category list at the top, and should normally list posts below it.
