More Internationalization Fun

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.

  • by

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?

Fun total guess of the day: based on my experience in browsing […]

Theme/Plugin Dependencies

  • by

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 […]
