Recently I was working on a project where we wanted to highlight the parent page link in the WordPress navigation when the user is on a child page.
At first, I wasn’t sure how to do this but I quickly discovered a CSS class that is added to wp_list_pages, which is frequently used for navigation, and by styling those classes the parent link can be highlighted when on a child page.
Last Winter I wrote an article on how to add a share button to your Facebook fan page.
I have since learned that you can make any image or link a share button and this same code can be used on a Facebook fan page and your website.
And once again, when you know the code, it is super easy to implement.
**UPDATE: I have provided instructions for how to link NextGen Gallery images to a post or page in the 2.0+ version of the plugin.
In my previous article I discussed how more information could be added to the images in the NextGEN Gallery by using the NextGEN Custom Fields plugin.
I installed and activated the plugin, created a new custom field, and showed the code that was used to display the new field with the images.
What I still need to discuss is where the code should go in the NextGEN Gallery template file and how to link to individual posts or pages. So, here we go.
**UPDATE: I have provided instructions for how to link a NextGen Gallery image to a post or page in the 2.0+ version of the plugin.
If you’ve ever wanted to add additional information about the images in your NextGEN Gallery, you can do so with the NextGen Custom Fields Plugin.
This plugin will add additional fields that you define to each image in the gallery.
The downside of this plugin, is that you have to be comfortable editing the template files. To actually display the data in your new custom field, you need to edit one or two of the templates that are included with the NextGEN Gallery plugin.
Earlier this week I wrote about the gallery shortcode that is built into WordPress and is used to display a simple image gallery on a post or page.
Shortcodes are basically shortcuts for inserting something into your post or page that is used frequently.
I can’t believe that I didn’t pay attention to them earlier, excerpt for some plugins that use them, as they have been around since WordPress 2.5
