A lot of our themes make use of custom fields to display images alongside posts. These are easy to use, but are a little different to how you would normally add an image to a post, so we will go through the changes here. The first thing to make note of is that all the images [...]]]> http://factory42.co.uk/images-in-custom-fields/feed/ 1 http://factory42.co.uk/wordpress-security-2-hide-your-wordpress-version/ http://factory42.co.uk/wordpress-security-2-hide-your-wordpress-version/#comments Fri, 20 Feb 2009 22:18:19 +0000 Factory42 http://factory42.co.uk/f42/wordpress-security-2-hide-your-wordpress-version/
Were gonna do a a whole series on Wordpress security over the coming months, some points you may know, some you may not, some we may not know! In which case why dont you use the contact form or the comments and send them in!

Wordpress allows direct browser access to a lot of folders in the WP installation. This is not an immediate security threat, but if people can see what plugins you have installed then it could lead to problems if one of those plugins is later compromised. With the image folder, its not really security, but its nice [...]]]> http://factory42.co.uk/wordpress-security-1-put-a-indexhtml-in-your-plugins-folder/feed/ 1 http://factory42.co.uk/using-a-seperate-template-for-pages-in-wordpress/ http://factory42.co.uk/using-a-seperate-template-for-pages-in-wordpress/#comments Thu, 19 Feb 2009 21:02:37 +0000 Factory42 http://factory42.co.uk/f42/using-a-seperate-template-for-pages-in-wordpress/
Pages in Wordpress can have different styles and layouts by way of using different templates. This can be really useful if your using Wordpress as more of a static website, or even if your just using it as a dynamic blog and want a different layout for some static pages. First thing to do is to [...]]]> http://factory42.co.uk/using-a-seperate-template-for-pages-in-wordpress/feed/ 0 http://factory42.co.uk/how-to-set-the-front-page-categories-in-ambergreen-pro/ http://factory42.co.uk/how-to-set-the-front-page-categories-in-ambergreen-pro/#comments Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:09:52 +0000 Factory42 http://factory42.co.uk/f42/how-to-set-the-front-page-categories-in-amberpro-wordpress-theme/
To make it nice and simple for you to change the used categories for the Top Feature and Main columns sections on the front page of AmberGreen Pro and AmberGreen, we use the functions.php file. In the image below you can see which area is which on the front page. This is the same on [...]]]> http://factory42.co.uk/how-to-set-the-front-page-categories-in-ambergreen-pro/feed/ 0 http://factory42.co.uk/finding-a-category-number-in-wordpress/ http://factory42.co.uk/finding-a-category-number-in-wordpress/#comments Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:11:34 +0000 Factory42 http://factory42.co.uk/f42/finding-a-category-number-in-wordpress-27/
Wordpress categories can be defined as either numbers or names. Due to the ease of using numbers against names (A number is never confusing, its either one or another, where as one category may be named “dog” and another “my dogs”- this may become confusing.) on all of our themes we use Category numbers as [...]]]> http://factory42.co.uk/finding-a-category-number-in-wordpress/feed/ 1 http://factory42.co.uk/hiding-a-category-listing-completely/ http://factory42.co.uk/hiding-a-category-listing-completely/#comments Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:53:37 +0000 Factory42 http://factory42.co.uk/f42/?p=493
Sometimes you may wish to hide a category name completely, hidden from the category lists and to hide the cat name from the printed out post. I use this sometimes on blogs to have a category for layout purposes only, rather than to categorize something for the reader. Firstly find the category number you wish to blank [...]]]> http://factory42.co.uk/hiding-a-category-listing-completely/feed/ 0 http://factory42.co.uk/add-a-print-pagepost-button-to-wordpress/ http://factory42.co.uk/add-a-print-pagepost-button-to-wordpress/#comments Sun, 15 Feb 2009 23:20:32 +0000 Factory42 http://factory42.co.uk/f42/?p=7
Adding a “print now” link or icon allows your visitors to print of any post and read it offline. Open single.php in your theme folder and add the line; <a href=”javascript:window.print()”>Print this Article</a> Personally I add it to the post meta data, keeping all the extra post info in one place.
