These posts document experiments in hacking and tweaking Wordpress; I hardly call myself expert, but I do like to tinker under the hood. If there is something I can do for you, bark my way or visit me at http://cogdog.it
I’m fairly sure this blog post and the README write up a new WordPress Theme are going to take as long as it took to do the coding. That’s okay, it’s important. The path I took was similar when I was looking for a simple landing for the main site of the WordPress Multisite for […]
This is a hastily written description of a little mystery site I put together at http://arganee.world. The sliding images in the background are done by an HTML5up template called Eventually, but the dynamic text in the middle is done via some calls to the WordPress API via jQuery. The whole thing started when building out […]
You can feed anything you want at any WordPress blog You can feed anything you want at any WordPress blog Right on the URL, tack on “feed” Syndicated almost anything you need You can feed anything you want at any WordPress blog Bear with me on Chapter 156 of my WordPress love. And for RSS. […]
I have some old, usually forgotten WordPress sites. It happens like clutter in your office. These old sites, that will never be updated, still generate requests for updates, they get spam, if you have something like Wordfence installed, you get reminders, and they are potential holes for hackers (if you need o be scared to […]
Today I pulled put the trowel and mortar mix for some work on the DS106 Assignment Bank WordPress theme, my pile of code and stuff so you can make a bank of anything (not just assignments) that works like the original DS106 Assignment Bank. I’ve got some reason as it looks like we might use […]
Enough of the old fart nostalgia and facebook whinging posts, it’s time to get back to some coding. I wanted to flex some WordPress muscles, and thought I was biting off on a small, one night bit of updates to the Daily Blank WordPress Theme (a generic thing that runs the DS106 Daily Create site). […]
For “fun” in the last day or two I have been tinkering and revamping one of my own WordPress sites. One of the things I most enjoy about these episodes is that I typically enter with one goal in mind, and in the process of doing, figuring out, I end up working on things I […]
It’s been too long since I blogged some WordPress code. That sounds like some sort of confessional. “Forgive my Ma.tt, for I have sinned, it’s been 34 days since my last WordPress post…” And this is something I did maybe back in January, something Mariana Funes has asked for a while for her to use […]
Most people will never need such a thing in a WordPress site, but outside the boxes of blogging, where WordPress is a Swiss Army Knife, there are situations where you need to run a script or do something on a regular interval. Maybe it’s polling social media. Maybe it’s updating some information about your site. […]
This may seem a backward step from my WordPress theming projects, where I am trying to customize that at a per-site basis with just Custom CSS- I am working on a new one using the Galactic theme I have done for a few presentations rigged as a WordPress site (e.g. This is Not a Blog, […]
