"In this article, I'll show you in a few short steps how to get started with modifying the login screen so that users experience a customized, branded look and feel. I went over the top with this design just to show how dramatically the login form can be stylized using a simple mod to the functions.php file and some CSS."
"I wanted to use widgets in the footer of my WordPress theme but my wordpress theme didn't come with a footer-sidebar by default. I didn't really wanted to change the theme just because of that. So I hacked the wordpress theme to introduce footer-sidebars.

"Redirect users to different locations after logging in and logging out.
Define a set of redirect rules for specific users, users with specific roles, users with specific capabilities, and a blanket rule for all other users. Also, set a redirect URL for post-registration. This is all managed in Settings > Login/logout redirects.
You can use the syntax [variable]username[/variable] in your URLs so that the system will build a dynamic URL upon each login, replacing that text with the user's username. In addition to username, there is "userslug", "homeurl", "siteurl", "postid-23", "http_referer" and you can also add your own custom URL "variables". See Other Notes / How to Extend for documentation.
If you're using a plugin such as Gigya that bypasses the regular WordPress login redirect process (and only allows one fixed redirect URL), set that plugin to redirect to wp-content/plugins/peters-login-redirect/wplogin_redirect_control.php and set the relevant setting to "Yes" at the bottom of the Settings > Login/Logout redirects page in the WordPress admin panel.
You can add your own code logic before and between any of the plugin's normal redirect checks if needed. See Other Notes / How to Extend for documentation. Some examples include: redirecting the user based on their IP address; and redirect users to a special page on first login.

"Have you ever came across a site that style their posts differently? Some sites have different sticky posts highlighted whereas others have each category post styled with a different color, or some may even have a totally unique outlook altogether. Well, that is exactly what we are going to cover in this article. We will share how you can style different WordPress posts in different ways. So what are we going to use? We will use a function called post_class. Post Class function prints out different post container classes which can be added, typically, in the index.php, single.php, and other template files featuring post content.
Note: This tutorial requires that you are somewhat familiar with WordPress theming, and know fairbits of HTML / CSS. "
"How To Style Your Posts Based on Category, Tag or Custom Taxonomy in WordPress
Style Posts by Taxonomy
We heard this question many times and it's not as simple as it sounds, so we're dedicating a whole blog post to the solution. Today we'll talk about child themes, taxonomy (categories, tags and custom taxonomy), the post_class function, it's filter friend and their correct usage in WordPress themes.
As simple as it sounds, adding the appropriate CSS rules to your theme stylesheet doesn't always work unless you're using default themes or very well written ones. Then again, even if it does, you might see it broken during the next update to the theme you're using, which brings us to child themes."

Ever asked yourself a question: Just how sustainable is your blog? How would a Blog Neglect Impact Your Traffic? And by blog neglect I simply mean breaking your blog posting schedule, posting less or paying less attention than normal to your blog.
When your self hosted wordpress site is getting slow, or lots of cpu quota exceeded errors, how do you fix it? One place you need to look is in your main directory (using c-panel's file manager) - find a file called tmp. Inside it, you'll see several folders, one of them is "slow mysql queries". I used cheap shared hosting like most people (blue host, host gator, etc.). Because of that, you will experience problems - especially if you start getting a lot of traffic. What I'm meaning is 500+ individual visitors per day.
