I need to make a four posts featured content slider but not with the latest 4 posts. Instead I wanna define certain posts as featured, now I know I can make a new category as Featured and add it as a multiple category to the posts I wanna define as featured and something similar could also be done using a tag as well. But I was thinking...
Hi, I'm developing an application using Wordpress as a CMS. I have a form with a lot of input fields which needs to be sanitized before stored in the database. I want to prevent SQL injection, having javascript and PHP code injected and other harmful code. Currently I'm using my own methods to sanitize data, but I feel that it might b...

I want to have a blog layout that displays posts from that specific blog predominantly but also intersperses the titles of posts from my other blogs in a smaller size, but I also want them in chronological order.

Right now I transform an XML document with an XSLT stylesheet using Javascript (in a Wordpress-based website). This works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but not in IE. Plus, if Javascript is not enabled, nothing would show up. So, my goal is to do the XML/XSLT transformation to XHTML on the server, not the client, preferably using PHP. I'...
Hey all, I was wondering how I can query posts that are not in a certain category. I tried query_posts('post_status=publish&post_type=post&category!=books&offset=5'); So I'm trying to get all published posts that are not in the category books, and then I have an offset of 5. Thanks, Matt Mueller ...
I was asked to write a custom template for a wordpress based site, and I'm noticing that themes are usually one big unreadable mess of PHP code mixed with HTML, with a terrible indenting on top of it -- even the default template follows this style. What I'm doing now is put all the PHP code first, then the markup with minimum PHP just f...

(Sorry if the title is pretty useless) I have this function to get the first image from a random post in WordPress. This works great, but now I need it to select a random image from all the matches, rather than the first. (I'm running this function in a query_posts loop to select the categories) // Get first image in post function catc...
Is it a good idea to name important tags with # prefix eg #reviews, #articles (somewhat like the twitter hashtag) to separate them from thousands of regular tags? What would be its effect on SEO and will the '#' be stripped when used in a URL? ...
I wasn't sure if this is a ServerFault question or StackOverflow, so I am going to ask it here first. When using ISAPI Rewrite (Helion Tech), I cannot seem to proxy the root directory http://www.somesite.com/ http://www.somesite.com/subdir/ will work if subdir is on the other server, but just plain old '/' will not work. Here is a cop...
Need a function call that is designed solely to get the count of posts matching a criteria. I believe the get_posts() function is too expensive for this operation. I'm merely trying to decide whether or not to show a "View More Posts" link when there are a predefined number of posts to display... For example, the default number of post ...
global $post; $cat1=get_cat_ID('test1'); $cat2=get_cat_ID('test2'); $myrecentposts = get_posts(array('post_not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'), 'cat' => "-$cat1,-$cat2",'showposts' => 5)); $myrecentposts2 = get_posts(array('post_not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'), 'cat' => "-$cat1,-$cat2")); $myrecentpostscount = count($myrecentp...
I know that most people will consider this post as irrelevant, and yes, I've read tens of posts saying that Wordpress is "just a blogging platform". However, facts speak for themselves - people do use Wordpress a lot. Moreover, large projects are being developed using Wordpress as the underlying platform. Who doesn't believe it could che...
