How to Include and Exclude Images with the WordPress Gallery Shortcode

by

Almost a year ago I wrote about how a simple gallery could be added to a post or page using the WordPress Gallery Shortcode. At the time I found out about it because include and exclude were going to be added to later releases. It is now part of the shortcode.

Last week I used the gallery shortcode for the Halloweeen themes post but I didn’t want to use all of the images in the gallery – the photo of the cupcakes is in the gallery associated with that post but I wanted to exclude it because it isn’t an image of a theme.

WordPress How To: 5 Tips and Tricks

by

Yesterday I discussed support on the WordPress forums and discovered that most commenters have had a negative experience using them. I would like the WordPress forums to change but I’m just one person and I’m not even sure if WordPress wants them to change. It seems like something would have been done by now.

For today I have gathered 5 of my best WordPress howto articles for this post. Many of them were written before you were reading – or before really anyone was reading for that matter.

I’ve worked at making the search on my site more useful so you can always search on WordPress howto or WordPress tips to locate additional information.

How to Exclude a Category From the Sidebar List in WordPress

by

Excluded (by felinebird)

My portfolio page is created using posts and is not a static page like the About page. I did this to easily add and remove entries and so that the page didn’t become too large. It will display a set number of entries like any other blog post page.

The portfolio entries are in the category, portfolio. The code on the portfolio is set to only display that category.

I also use the Ultimate Category Excluder plugin so that the category does not display in my archives or in my rss feed. I’m hoping to spend some time on code based solution for that as well.

How to Exclude Pages from the WordPress Navigation Bar

by

Excluded (by malias)

Have you ever wanted to create pages in WordPress but don’t want them listed in the header or footer navigation areas? You still want the pages to be accessible, perhaps listed in the sidebar, so you don’t want to make them private. You can do this by excluding pages and I’ll show you how to do it.

I have seven pages on this site but only 4, plus the home page, are listed in the header and footer. None of these pages have privacy settings. The remaining three are listed in my sidebar as links rather than in a list of pages. Do you know which ones they are? They are Bookmarks, Friendfeed Lifestream, and RSS Stream.

Pages are displayed with the following code, which is generally used in the header, footer, or sidebar.

<?php wp_list_pages();?>

I am not a WordPress Exclude Categories Stealth Ninja

by

Ok, so I admit it. I thought I had the exclude category code all worked out but I ran into a couple of problems. One was anticipated as a possible issue with my RSS feed but the second was completely self-induced and caused by trying too many things simultaneously and not paying close enough attention.

But, first, I will start with one small success. The digest post was not sent to Twitter late last night. I guess by suppressing the post based on it’s category from appearing on the front page that Twitter Tools didn’t notify Twitter of a new post. It’s also possible that since the post came from Twitter that Twitter Tools does not automatically send it back to Twitter, which might put you in an unending loop. I read something about this on the homepage for the plugin but was not entirely clear on it. I also found out that, at least for me, Twitter Tools sends the post at around 11:40 and publishes it at midnight. I was actually still up and watched it happen.
