I'm a complete WordPress noob, so forgive any ignorance in the following question. I have a database with NFL players' statistics and I'm interested in displaying that information in a blog post. Is it possible to have a SQL call to render that data be made when the user views the post? In other words, I'm trying to avoid cutting-and-...
I've noticed that if I take a plugin, let's call it "wordpress on steroids", and I place other plugins (the raw files) into the "wordpress on steroids" folder, providing that there are no files with the same name, I can effectively upload multiple plugins with one single install. However, there are problems with this approach... 1) Alr...
Problem: some of the post titles on my WordPress site are questions, i.e. the post title ends with a question mark. And I have post queries that generate lists of the most recent posts. So I'm trying to figure out a bit of php that will keep my punctuation correct. What's a good way to determine if the last character of a title is a que...
Hi, I am developing a Wordpress site using the WP sIFR plugin. Yesterday my hyperlinks suddenly stopped working after 15 minutes or so. When I open the page in a new window, they are reactivated, even in the original page. I am using Firefox 3 on a Mac. http://stellaandmoon.com.au/art/ Can anyone help me?

WordPress allows theme designers to place a 404.php file in their theme's directory. This enables you to provide a custom page content when the WordPress application forwards the 404 over to your 404.php page. My question is this: Does this constitute a true 404 error that would be registered as such by Google and other crawlers, or doe...
I have a template I've created, and it displays Hebrew. However, when I then take the HTML code and paste it into a Wordpress template, the Hebrew letters display as Question Marks (????). I'm guessing this has something to do with the format the files are saved / outputted in? What do I need to do to have the Hebrew outputted in Hebrew?...
Apparently one of the latest version updates of Wordpress is now issuing a true 404 header in response to a 404 condition. Previously, WordPress would simply forward the 404 to the custom 404.php and you could handle it without triggering a 404 on the search engine crawler. For example, you could load your Sitemap with a custom message f...

It's obviously a matter of some controversy as to whether WordPress is a CMS, but like it or not, it's an extremely popular platform. Assume for a moment that it's an almost-there CMS. What plugins would you add to the package to bring it over the threshold? ie, if you were designing a "WordPress CMS core", what plugins would you add...
How can I make a plugin send an alert to one's dashboard at the top right below where the WordPress upgrade notice might normally appear? I imagine I need some kind of add_filter() or add_action() call in the plugins' code. ...
