So in my last post about Internationalization, I covered some non-obvious things that you should consider when adding translation capabilities to your code. Today, let’s add to that by covering some non-obvious translation functions. You’re probably not using these, since they don’t get talked about as much. But there’s probably places where you should be […]
Okay, a quick one today. Let’s make a custom control for the customizer. Back in the first tutorial, I talked about the various controls available in the customizer. Specifically I mentioned image handling, color wheels, text boxes, radios, dropdowns, and checkboxes. Let’s try a new one? How about a textarea? It’s not in the core […]
Last time I wrote about using the Theme Customizer to supplant/add to your existing options. But what if you’re writing a new theme entirely? Do you even need an options page? How many options does your theme have, anyway? Would it not make more sense to eschew those complex options pages in favor of just […]

Fun fact of the day: about 37% of WordPress downloads are for non-English, localized versions. So as a plugin or theme author, you should be thinking of localization and internationalization (L10N and I18N) as pretty much a fact of life by this point. Fun total guess of the day: based on my experience in browsing […]
In trying to figure out what to talk about at WordCamp Atlanta, I remembered a question put to me in WordCamp Birmingham. The question was how can a theme developer easily make a plugin-dependency in their theme? I wrote some code to do this sort of thing, just as an example/test/demonstration, but then after looking […]
Some people have been forwarding me this email message that they received from Facebook: We currently detect that your app is using the old JavaScript SDK (FeatureLoader.js). This library will no longer work for authentication on February 1st, 2012 since it does not support OAuth 2.0. In May, we announced that all apps on Facebook […]
Google came out with an experimental specification for websites to provide “hints” on forms, to allow things like autocomplete to work better and be more standardized. Seems useful. Here’s a quick plugin snippet you can use to make your comments form use this specification. Only Chrome 15 and up is using this at the moment, […]
Still getting emails about this one, so here’s a quick rundown on how to do it. First, if you were already using a Fan Page, then you are not affected at all and don’t have to do anything. Please stop emailing me and asking for confirmation. Thanks. Now, if you were using your Application’s Wall […]
