  • Screens
  • icons

5 plugins to feature posts on WP

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 at 10:21 pm

I’m currently building a WordPress site that requires a plugin to feature posts on the home page.

I did a little research and came across this list which seems to be a great place to start:
5 Plugins For Creating EyeCatchy Featured Content Section in Wordpress

Most likely I’ll use one of the plugins that use javascript and can be updated via the admin interface instead of the flash one so that in case I need someone else to update it, I won’t have to teach them XML etc.

Seems like the Featured content gallery plug in is a good candidate. Many people have used it and they seem to be happy.

In case you need multiple instances of that module -like I do- here’s a good tutorial that would show you how to do it step-by-step: Multiple Featured Content Galleries

conditional tags for WP

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009 at 10:02 pm

As I worked on the theme for my bodypainting site that also uses WP as the back end, realized that I might need some kind of conditional tags to hide and show modules in different templates, particularly to make the home page looks different from the static pages.

I came across the following page that list the conditional tags that you can use in your theme: Conditional Tags

The page doesn’t look very good, but it does a good job. It’s a simple task, but sometimes can be annoyingly time consuming if you have to do it manually.
