On choosing and customizing themes

Two of my favorite web designers with super helpful blogs, Chris Coyier of CSS Tricks and Jeff Starr of Perishable Press, have just released their new collaboration! The book, "Digging Into WordPress," is now available as a PDF download, and if you buy the PDF book now, you will be eligible for a "sweet discount" on the hard copy of the book when it comes out, plus receive updates free. They've done a great job on this book, which covers setting up WordPress, anatomy of a WordPress theme, theme design and development, extending functionality including using WordPress as a CMS, working with RSS feeds, SEO, dealing with comments, and keeping your site "healthy." I already followed both of these designers before they began their collaboration, and have found countless useful tutorials, code snippets, design ideas, and much more on both of their sites - I've relied on Perishable Press as a source for great unobtrusive javascript code, and on CSS-Tricks for all kinds of other useful tools for making valid, functional, and beautiful sites. This book is bound to be a valuable reference to anyone who works with WordPress.

Hooray! No need to code theme options for #WordPress themes, thanks to the @OptionTree plugin from @Envato! http://bit.ly/m6Iuqp

"What is OptionTree? Theme Options are what make a WordPress Theme truly custom. OptionTree attempts to bridge the gap between developers, designers and end-users by solving the admin User Interface issues that arise when creating a custom theme. Designers shouldn't have to be limited to what they can create visually because their programming skills aren't as developed as they would like. Also, programmers shouldn't have to recreate the wheel for every new project, so in walks OptionTree."

"Post Formats is a theme feature introduced with Version 3.1. A Post Format is a piece of meta information that can be used by a theme to customize its presentation of a post. The Post Formats feature provides a standardized list of formats that are available to all themes that support the feature. Themes are not required to support every format on the list. New formats cannot be introduced by themes nor even plugins. The standardization of this list provides both compatibility between numerous themes and an avenue for external blogging tools to access this feature in a consistent fashion. "

"The easiest, most effective way to secure WordPress in seconds. iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security), #1 WordPress Security Plugin iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security) gives you over 30+ ways to secure and protect your WordPress site. On average, 30,000 new websites are hacked each day. WordPress sites can be an easy target for attacks because of plugin vulnerabilities, weak passwords and obsolete software."

"The edit_theme_options capability should allow the user to edit the sidebar as described on this page : http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Widgets_SubPanel Code to add to functions.php $role = get_role('editor'); $role->add_cap('edit_theme_options'); Edit: This should work to prevent editor accessing themes or menus function custom_admin_menu() { $user = new WP_User(get_current_user_id()); if (!empty( $user->roles) && is_array($user->roles)) { foreach ($user->roles as $role) $role = $role; } if($role == "editor") { remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'themes.php' ); remove_submenu_page( 'themes.php', 'nav-menus.php' ); } } add_action('admin_menu', 'custom_admin_menu'); I haven't had chance to test this, but it only removes them from the menu they may still be able to access them by typing in the URL directly."

Turn Wordpress into a magazine.

WordPress, however, is an extensible website content management system that can be used to run magazine-type websites. Here are steps I took to turn this online magazine on Cebu from a blog into its current presentation. I'm still working on it, though, so you might encounter issues.
