Adding images to a gallery from the Media Library

By Lara | Published: January 31, 2012

What’s the difference between WordPress’s Media Library and the images I uploaded to posts and pages? Why can’t I add images from the Media Library to galleries in my posts and pages? WP expert Otto explains it like this: The “gallery” feature is tied to a specific Post. All the images uploaded through the post editor become that specific Post’s gallery. If you upload them through the media section, then they cannot be in a gallery. Don’t think of a gallery as some separate entity, because it’s not. A “gallery” is simply a bunch of images that are attached to some specific Post. It’s not some thing that you can [...]

By Lara | Published: January 21, 2012

Hello all! There is a new version of WPFolio Two now on GitHub, or get it right here. New in this version is a working comments option, a few style tweaks and code consolidation, and the removal of the non-functioning search widget (a complicated bug I’m working on). So what’s coming up for WPFolio now that it’s back in business? A few things: 1. A collective weekend debugging session Date TBA, probably sometime in February. Anyone with skills in CSS and/or PHP needed! We’ll be working through the issues log on GitHub, crossing off everything we can. Even better, fork the project and start now! 2. Testers wanted Anyone who [...]

WPFolio Two Update

By Lara | Published: October 22, 2011

Among some bug fixes, I’ve added a couple new things to make your lives better and easier: 1. Option to Disable Comments According to questions on the WordPress support forums, it was obvious that many WPFolio users were confused by WordPress’s obscure, not-so-intuitive way to disable comments. Well, WPFolio Two now does it for you! Easy peasy. Here’s what the option looks like: 2. Navigation back to posts Users of WPFolio Two may have noticed the navigation missing from the bottom of your posts. This was bad news – when you went to an attachment page, there was no link back to the post! And you were stuck in the [...]

Use WordPress Filter Hooks to modify theme files

By Lara | Published: March 6, 2011

We recently received a question about changing a site’s title in the browser bar. There are a few ways to do this. One option is to go into header.php and find and edit what’s within the title HTML tag. Although this will work, you risk losing all of your changes when it’s time for the next WPFolio update. Another way is to create your own copy of the header.php file and place it your child theme. From there you can make whatever changes you like and they wont be lost when you update. However, when WPFolio is updated you’ll have to sort through your existing header.php file and the updated [...]
