  • Use Bootswatch themes with Museum Core to “skin” your site

    I did a writeup on Museum Themes on how to use Bootstrap 3 themes with Museum Core (which this site uses) to get new “skins” for the Core theme. Note: I wouldn’t have even thought of this if it wasn’t for Shawn Wildermuth‘s Bootstrap 3 course on Pluralsight. If you want to check it out, I…

  • New Pluralsight Course: User Roles & Capabilities in WordPress

    I’ll tell you a secret: up until a few months ago, user roles and permissions in WordPress were a vast, unexplored land of confusing terms (capabilities and — gasp — meta capabilities) and complex relationships. I didn’t know much, but I did know that if you were playing with new user roles or capabilities and messed up…

  • There I go again…

    So, today the WordPress 3.8 Admin Help team met up in #wordpress-sfd — a fact that I would have forgotten entirely about had I not been at my computer coding at the time . Siobhan and one other made the meeting. That was fine. You may recall I mentioned something a while ago about getting involved…

  • I’m speaking at WCSLC

    I’m presenting again at WordCamp SLC. This time on internationalization in WordPress, something fresh on my mind from having just finished my last Pluralsight course on the same topic.

  • Update Shaming

    I wrote a plugin, inspired by my wife, which is designed to give you dirty looks for pages you haven’t updated recently. It’s actually functional, because it gives you a rundown of your oldest content by last modified date. And it does stuff like this: Check it out.

    Twenty Fourteen

    This year, I’ve made it a goal to get more involved in WordPress. Not just peripheral, documentation projects, not just committing plugins and themes to the repository, but also contributing (in whatever form it takes) to core. And, okay, there’s an ulterior motive at work — 3.8 is the release that Matt is leading. So I…

  • WordPress, Genericons, Jetpack and you

    Here’s something I learned the hard way today. If you are using Genericons in your WordPress theme, and you’re enqueueing it like this: wp_register_style(‘genericons’,get_template_directory_uri().’/genericons/genericons.css’,false,$theme[‘Version’]); wp_enqueue_style( ‘genericons’ ); …you’re going to run into problems if Jetpack is enabled, because Jetpack uses the same method. Normally this wouldn’t be that much of an issue, but their version of…

  • WordCamp San Francisco 2013

    This year I went to WordCamp San Francisco. I didn’t take any pictures, but here’s one found on the WP Armchair stream where you can sort of make out my bald head. You can tell it’s me ’cause the water bottle. This isn’t going to be an exhaustive post. I’m glad I went but (and…

  • Cat Signal update

    I released an update to the Cat Signal plugin that fixes some issues that were introduced in the last update. If you’re using it, make sure you update before the campaign tomorrow. Internet Defense League Cat Signal
