I'm a geek, married to a geek, born of a geek. I love working on WordPress sites and finding cool new stuff on the internets.

comment Single template will not show sidebar/bottom-nav and footer
I believe get_sidebar() should be outside the loop - meaning move it after the endwhile;. Have you tried that?

comment Order post by date with ACF
That's possible though slightly more complicated (and a different question than what you asked above). First I'd get it showing all your posts ordered by your date field. Then post that code in a new question and ask how to limit the display by date range.

comment Which hook/action for save on publish and update?
save_post exhibits the same behavior as publish_post - nothing on Publish, works fine on Update.

comment Increase search results for Admin -> Appearance -> Menus -> Search (default is 10)
Still, good enough for a temporary fix (just to get the menus established) if you're setting up nav for a site with hundreds of pages. The search functionality really doesn't work well and paginating through the 'View All' can take ages. Thanks John!

comment Wordpress shows my picture in admin bar
has it right. Also worth noting, you're the only person who will see your picture, and then only when you're logged in. The only place your users might see it is if they have administrator-level WordPress accounts on your site and are able to look at the full 'Users' page where I think the photos also display. But they will not see it in the top admin bar ever.

comment Feedburner doesn't update when “scheduled post” publishes
Thank you! Either that did it or something changed in Feedburner or WordPress in the year since I asked the question but it's working now that I've made that change. Yay! Thanks again. :)

comment Way to bulk delete menu items in new 3.x Appearance > Menus system?
Thanks, great tip! The times I've tried to bulk-delete are usually caused by importing "all content" which includes menus and duplicates all menu content. I've learned since to only import posts/pages, so haven't run into this as often. But this solution is perfect for those times when I have to import-all. Thanks again!

comment Why is wp-login redirecting to the home page when I use this function?
thank you! I must be going blind. Sadly it still doesn't work in multisite, but at least that's one potential issue eliminated. I did try disabling all plugins and that didn't have any effect.

comment Why is wp-login redirecting to the home page when I use this function?
Also thanks for the hiding admin bar filter, I actually already had that working. @EAMann, in my case I am using the login system only to show/hide certain content, and I really don't want any subscribers to see any part of the dashboard or WP functionality. So hiding the bar seems appropriate.

comment Why is wp-login redirecting to the home page when I use this function?
Thank you for both these! Man do I feel dumb for not seeing the edit_posts thing. Unfortunately though even with the new code, it's still not working. /wp-admin redirects correctly, but wp-login.php also redirects. Maybe it's a multisite thing? Because it does work on a single-install of WP with the same plugins enabled.

comment URL Forwarding - wordpress links reverting back
Hmm, hopefully you can fix that one manually? I'm not sure why it wouldn't catch everything.

comment .sub-menu or .children?
Agreed, I wish they were the same by default. But it's probably a 'feature' :-)

comment insert element inside wp menu list item
I usually achieve this using a Walker menu + using the "description" field in the native WP menu so admins can add in that extra text themselves without me having to do anything programatic. :) Here's an article on how to do that: kriesi.at/archives/…
