Here you will get various table options and previews. Now to start up with your first table use the following given format in your WP post:
[table] Domain,Company,Rank
Google.com,Google,1,
Facebook.com,Facebook Inc,2
[/table]

|
Domain |
Company |
Rank |
|
Google.com |
|
1 |
|
Facebook.com |
Facebook Inc. |
1 |

Don’t use register_post_status before init. Register Post Status is a function used to create and modify post status based on given parameters. register_post_status() function is located in wp-includes/post.php It accepts following two parameters:
<?php register_post_status( $post_status, $args ); ?>
Example:
(Following example registers “Unread” post status:
function my_custom_post_status(){
register_post_status( ‘unread’, array(
‘label’ => _x( ‘Unread’, ‘post’ ),
‘public’ => true,
‘exclude_from_search’ => false,
‘show_in_admin_all_list’ => true,
‘show_in_admin_status_list’ => true,
‘label_count’ => _n_noop( ‘Unread <span class=”count”>(%s)</span>’, ‘Unread <span class=”count”>(%s)</span>’ ),
) );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘my_custom_post_status’ );
Where:
Is it possible to add a Page Tab to an external link of some other website. I mean page navigation menu that is at the top of WP blog and I want to link a page tab from there to an external link of some other site.
Is there any plugin to choose an image for each post?
Copy and Paste the given code within the loop. It may engage your blog visitors to stay for a longer time:
<?php
//for use in the loop, list 5 post titles related to first tag on current post
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
if ($tags) {
echo ‘Related Posts’;
$first_tag = $tags[0]->term_id;
$args=array(
‘tag__in’ => array($first_tag),
‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID),
‘showposts’=>5,
‘caller_get_posts’=>1
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<p><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php
endwhile;
}
}
?>
This code displays posts related to current post. It is based on tags. You may change the number of posts it displays, just change ‘showposts’=>5 with your number.
You can highlight most popular content of your WordPress site in your sidebar. Copy-Paste the following code in your theme’s sidebar.php file:
<h2>Popular Posts</h2>
<ul>
<?php $result = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT comment_count,ID,post_title
FROM $wpdb->posts ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 0 , 5″);
foreach ($result as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
$postid = $post->ID;
$title = $post->post_title;
$commentcount = $post->comment_count;
if ($commentcount != 0) { ?>
<li><a href=”<?php echo get_permalink($postid); ?>” title=”<?php echo
$title ?>”>
<?php echo $title ?></a> {<?php echo $commentcount ?>}</li>
<?php } } ?>
</ul>
It displays most popular posts on your site’s sidebar.
For changing the number of posts to display in your sidebar:
Look-up for this line in the above code block: FROM $wpdb->posts ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 0 , 5″); and Replace 5 with the number of posts you like to display.
Now easiest way to do this (display popular posts) and many other similar things like displaying both popular and unpopular posts, knowing the number of post hits is to use Most and Least Read Posts Widget Plugin.
Download from the link, activate it and start using it by placing its widgets in your sidebar. It gives you two different widgets one shows most read posts and the other shows least read posts and also it counts your post hits both on sidebar and in your dashboard All Posts list.
Given code hides post images but keeps thumbnail image in Category archive and homepage. Add following code block in your theme’s function.php:
function wpi_image_content_filter($content){
if (is_home() || is_front_page() || is_category()){
$content = preg_replace(“/<img[^>]+>/i”, “”, $content);
}return $content;
}
add_filter(‘the_content’,’wpi_image_content_filter’,11);
