Add this code in your theme’s header.php file’s head section:
<link href=”https://plus.google.com/PageID” rel=”publisher” /><script type=”text/javascript”>
(function()
{var po = document.createElement(“script”);
po.type = “text/javascript”; po.async = true;po.src = “https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(“script”)[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
})();</script>

Paste following code inside your text widget (replacing PageID) :
<g:plus href=”https://plus.google.com/PageID” size=”badge”></g:plus>

function wptuts_save_thumbnail( $post_id ) {
$post_thumbnail = get_post_meta( $post_id, $key = ‘_thumbnail_id’, $single = true );
if ( !wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ) {
if ( empty( $post_thumbnail ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key = ‘_thumbnail_id’, $meta_value = ‘https://sangkrit.net/thumbnail.jpg’ );

add_filter(‘gettext’, ‘change_post_to_article’);
add_filter(‘ngettext’, ‘change_post_to_article’);
function change_post_to_article($translated) {
$translated = str_ireplace(‘Post’, ‘Article’, $translated);
return $translated;
}

Suppose you need to create a new custom post type, may be NEWS. So that you can allow you subscribers to post NEWS on your website. In the given example we will be creating a custom user role for NEWS and the users allotted this role would only be managing only NEWS section from WP-Admin (Dashboard).
Open your theme’s function.php file: site root >> wp-content >>themes >> function.php and add the given code block:
add_role( ‘news_user’, ‘News User’, array( ‘news’ ) );
This function generates new custom user role which can only manage
news section from Dashboard.
Although you may add some more function for new custom user role.
New custom user role can also be removed from WordPress by using the following function in your theme’s function.php file:
remove_role( ‘news_user’ );
From WordPress Function $wp_roles also you can add and remove custom user roles as show below:
global $wp_roles;
$wp_roles->add_cap( ‘news_user’, ‘manage_category’ );
$wp_roles->remove_cap( ‘news_user’, ‘view_post’ );
if ( !function_exists(‘custom_gravatars’) ) {
function custom_gravatars( $avatar_defaults ) {
$myavatar = get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/images/custom-avatar.png’;
$avatar_defaults[$myavatar] = ‘people’;
return $avatar_defaults;
}
add_filter( ‘avatar_defaults’, ‘custom_gravatars’ );
}

You can embed SoundCloud in your WordPress posts using WordPress feature oEmbed. It supports auto embedding until your URL breaks the line. WP oEmbed library supports Twitter, YouTube and many other popular services. SoundCloud is not yet supported by WordPress but still you have it by using oEmbed with the help of this function: wp_oembed_add_provider()
Adding oEmbed for SoundCloud in WordPress:
Open your theme’s function.php file and add the following code:
function add_oembed_soundcloud(){
wp_oembed_add_provider( ‘http://soundcloud.com/*’, ‘http://soundcloud.com/oembed’ );
}
add_action(‘init’,’add_oembed_soundcloud’);
All done. Now you can simply paste SoundCloud URL on separate line and let oEmbed do auto-embedding.
Using WordPress Plugin:
You may also use this WordPress Plugin SoundCloud is Gold.
If you are running your blog on WordPress.Com then you may use the shortcode available for all WordPress.Com users because Sound Cloud is officially supported by WordPress.Com.
If you have a self hosted blog then you may use JetPack plugin and enable option for shortcode embeds. After doing this you can easily use the shortcode as shown here:
Google started displaying calculator on mathematical queries. Now if you visit google.com and type any mathematical problem like 9+9 etc. It automatically displays a working calculator that you can use for solving other mathematical problems.

WordPress Visual Editor don’t provides you the option to create table inside your post content. Hence to create a table in WordPress you need to know HTML. Reading this tutorial you can create tables in your WordPress posts even if your are not good in HTML.
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]
This is an example. You can create as many formats you want and each format should be enclosed in [table] and [/table] shortcode. Given format creates three columns: Domain, Company and Rank with three rows:
|
Domain |
Company |
Rank |
|
Google.com |
|
1 |
|
Facebook.com |
Facebook Inc. |
1 |

Add the following code block in your themes’s function.php file and replace the image name and address (in bold text) with your own image.
function my_custom_login_logo() {
echo ‘<style type=”text/css”>
h1 a { background- image:url(‘.get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’).’/images/custom-login-logo.gif) !important; }
</style>’;
}
