So let's get started and don't forget to subscribe to our RSS-Feed to keep track on our next post in this series.
  • This is the Loop

    1)The Loop is perhaps the most important thing one needs to understand when customizing WordPress theme. Any HTML or PHP code placed between where The Loop starts and where The Loop ends will be used for each post. When WordPress documentation states "This tag must be within The Loop", such as for specific Template Tag or plugins, this is The Loop.
    <?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    // the code inside the loop
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    • Further Readings On The Loop

      1)Modifying Individual Posts In The Loop- Sometimes Clients request things like Google ads being displayed after post #2, the top post having a differently colored background, only displaying the title for a few posts. You can’t do any of this inside a single Loop, so here’s how to use multiple loops to display lists of posts differently.How to use multiple loops to display lists of posts differently. 2)Embed Google Ad in First WordPress Post- One of the more effective places to implement Google Adsense is after the first post, so you want to prevent your ad code from appearing after every single post, as WordPress would just loop and keep showing it. All you need to do is add this code inside the loop.
      <?php if ($count == 1) : ?>
      // Insert your Google AdSense code here
      <?php endif; $count  ; ?>
      You can also publish the advertisement after the second post or the third etc. Just change: “count == 1? to “count == 2?
  • Category Related Techniques

    The first step in modifying what happens when someone visits a Category page is to figure out which of your theme's files is going to be used to display the posts. This is known as the Template Hierarchy. This diagram, tells us most of what we need to know about organization of WordPress themes. Change the number of posts displayed in Category Page. You will need to open index.php file and find the line below,
    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    then add this line right below it:
    <?php if (is_category()) { $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&showposts=4'); } ?>
    Where number "4" is the number of posts you want to be displayed on every category page. Have a different template for specific Category So, if you want to make the Category whose ID number is 7 look different from what it is currently (and different from other Category pages), just create a category-7.php template file (or whatever your category ID is) in your current theme folder and customize it as you please. WordPress automatically checks for this, and will use the file if it exists. Please notice how we added the "-" and after it the id number of the category. Displaying single post pages differently in specific category For example, if you have a category called “News” and a category called “Tutorials” and you want the Stylesheet of the "News" category to be style1.css, and the stylesheet of the “Tutorials” category to be style2.css. Lorelle provides a simple solution by following the directions below: Open single.php file and delete all the content and add the following code
    <?php
    $post = $wp_query->post;
    if ( in_category('9') ) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single2.php');
    } else {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single1.php');
    }
    ?>
    In the most simple terms, the PHP code issues a query that says: Check the post. If the post is in category ID number 9, display single2.php. If not in category ID number 9, display single1.php.
  • Conditional Tags

    Conditional Tags can be used in your Template files to change what content is displayed and how that content is displayed on a particular page depending on what conditions that page matches. Styling different categories: If you want to use certain stylesheet for specific category, all you have to do is add the code below to the <head> tag in your index.php file.
    <?php if ( is_category('15') ) {
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/cat-15.css"
    type="text/css" media="screen" />;
    <?php } else { ?>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>"
    type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <?php } ?>
    Dynamic file content If you want to include a file that will only appear on the home page, Place this code in the index.php:
    <?php if ( is_home() ) { include ('filename.php'); } ?>
    Better SEO Titles for your pages
    <?php
    if (is_home()) { echo bloginfo('name'); }
    elseif (is_404()) { bloginfo('name'); echo ' - Oops, this is a 404 page'; }
    else if ( is_search() ) { bloginfo('name'); echo (' - Search Results');}
    else { bloginfo('name'); echo (' - '); wp_title(''); }
    ?>
  • Creating Navigation Menu

    Menus are an excellent way to create a menu of categories or Pages, highlighting specific areas of interest within your website. Dynamic menu highlighting is a way to give users a reference point with which to navigate. It is like the dot on the map that says "you are here". Nick La created a dynamic highlight menu on Best Web Gallery by using the code below:
    <ul id="nav">
      <li<?php if ( is_home() || is_category() || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single() || is_date() ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="#">Gallery</a></li>
      <li<?php if ( is_page('about') ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li<?php if ( is_page('submit') ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="#">Submit</a></li>
    </ul>

    • Further Reading on Navigation Menu

      1)Creating Two-Tiered Conditional Navigation in Wordpress- Here is a common navigational scheme, with parent pages on top and child pages (if they exist) on bottom. 2) Smarter Navigation Menu Mike Cherim has explained how to get a smarter navigation menu using Conditional tags by offering post titles, archive dates, and category names instead of generic terminology.
      <!--Begin an unordered list the ID is for the bookmark, the class is for the style
          (so I can have other lists with the same styling as seen on RedScrubs.com)-->
       <ul id="nav" class="btn">
      
      <!--IF the current page is the 404 page, note the added error class-->
       <?php if(is_404()) { ?>
        <li class="current_page_item error"><a href="#">404 Error</a></li>
       <?php } ?>
      
      <!--IF the current page is the search results page-->
       <?php if(is_search()) { ?>
        <li class="current_page_item"><a href="#">Search Results</a></li>
       <?php } ?>
      
      <!--IF the current page is a single post-->
       <?php if(is_single()) { ?>
        <li class="current_page_item"><a href="#">Selected Article</a></li>
       <?php } ?>
  • Query Posts

    Query_posts can be used to control which posts show up in The Loop. All you have to do is place a call to query_posts() in one of your Template files before The Loop begins. Show posts from only one category If you want to display a certain number of posts in specific category
    <?php query_posts('cat=15&showposts=10'); ?>
    Here we want to display the latest "10" post in category whose ID is "15". Exclude Categories From Your Home Page
    <?php
       if (is_home()) {
          query_posts("cat=-3");
       }
    ?>
    Retrieve a Particular Post
    <?php
    // retrieve one post with an ID of 5
    query_posts('p=5');
    ?>
    
    • Further Readings On Query Posts
      1) Query_posts redux- A helpful tutorial to list some of the arguments that you can pass to the query_posts() function.
      <?php
      query_posts('page_id=7'); //retrieves page 7 only
      query_posts('pagename=about'); //retrieves the about page only
      ?>
      
  • Get Posts

    get_postsis a simple tag for creating multiple loops to allow you list links of posts in different ways. For example if you want to display the last 5 entries, you use this code:
    <?php
     $previous_posts = get_posts('numberposts=5');
     foreach($previous_posts as $post) :
     setup_postdata($post);
     ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    In the above code the variable “numberposts=5? tells WordPress how many posts to retrieve and populate the loop with. WordPress post formatting function, setup_postdata() automatically populates the required variables.
  • Post excerpts

    There are two WordPress template tags, the_content() and the_excerpt() used within the WordPress Loop to display the content of the post. Post excerpt allows you to display only the first part of your blog’s post, a block of content instead of displaying the full post. While many don’t know the real reason behind and just use it to make things more aesthetic, displaying excerpt has got many advantages both in the SEO and traffic area. The_excerpt() is used to force only excerpts to be seen on the multi-post pages. Also, HTML tags and graphics are stripped from the excerpt's content. So here is how it works when using <?php the_excerpt(); ?> in the post:
    • 1) If the post uses both the_excerpt() tag and the explicit excerpt that is written in the textarea box on the write post panel,
      Display the explicit excerpt
    • 2) If the post uses the_excerpt() tag only,
      Display 120 words of the post
    And here is how it works when using <?php the_content(); ?> in the post
    • 1) If the post uses the <!- -more- -> tag to mark the ending post of the excerpt,
      Display this excerpt
    • 2) If the <!- -more- -> tag is not used,
      Display the entire post
    • Further Readings on Post Excerpts
      1) Display Post Excerpts Only in WordPress- A good way to ensure your posts don't show up in suplemental results since Google can find them in various places - ensures that the excerpt is shown on all pages except the full post page. 2) Use the More Tag on Wordpress- Many readers prefer to have full posts on the homepage so that they can read the content right there, without needing to click around. A simple solution to accommodate both sides is to use the “more” tag on Wordpress. 3)Custom Excerpts for WordPress 4)Things you should know when using post excerpt- Things you should be knowing and setting up when using post excerpt is described in this article: why use post excerpt?, Different ways of displaying post excerpt, Displaying excerpt on the frontpage, archives and search results page and Displaying full post in feeds.
  • Custom Fields

    WordPress has the ability to allow you assign custom fields to a post by adding extra information to the post which give your blog a lot of flexibility. Custom fields have a name and a value. The Key is the name of the custom field and the Value is the value you want to give to that name. You can display this information in posts, pages, sidebars, or anywhere on your site. WordPress remembers previously used custom field names and can be selected in the drop down list.
  • Getting Custom Field Values
     get_post_meta($post_id, $key, $single);
    <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'key name',true) ?>
    
    Where $post->ID to get a post's ID, $key is a string containing the name of the meta value you want and $single can either be true or false. If set to true then the function will return a single result, as a string. If false, or not set, then the function returns an array of the custom fields.
  • Adding Custom Field in a post To illustrate, we’ll start with a very basic example— Lets assume you want to display the author name right below the title of the post and add a direct link to the author's website. For starters, you’ll need to open a new post and add 2 custom fields with their respective values, see the image below.

    Now you can display these information inside your template file as below:
    <?php //get author_name (custom field) ?>
    <?php $author = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'author_name', true); ?>
    
    <?php //get author_url (custom field) ?>
    <?php $url = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'author_url', true); ?>
    
    <a href="<?php echo $url;?>"><?php echo $author; ?></a>
    

  • Writing Code in Your Posts

    Sometime you might need to add pieces of code like HTML, CSS, PHP, or javascripts in your post and make this code "looks" like code, but "doesn't behave" like code. WordPress.com changes codes such as <, >, &, ", and ' into characters. For example, if you type:
    <? php query_posts('p=5'); ?>
    It will erased from your post when you save it. Or it will try to turn the codes into character entity codes, which can really mess some things up. So To make this WordPress template tag code appear, the code must be converted into character entities:
  • &lt;? php query_posts(&#39;p=5&#39;); ?&gt;
  • To Write Code in Your Posts so that it looks like a box of code which may be copied and pasted within other code or template file, you can use the <pre> HTML tag with <code> tag.
    • Further Readings On Writing Code in your Posts
      1)Signatures and Writing Code- Lorelle writes an amazing article on posting code in your WordPress.com blogs, listing the most common character codes (character entities) used in HTML/XHTML, PHP, and other programming languages. Also you need to check her other post "WordPress Plugins That Help You Write Code" sharing some of the WordPress Plugins that help you write code and equations in your blogs.
    • 2)Online Code Converters- There are several online converters that transform the text you type into the standard HTML code that every browser can recognize without altering the character encoding to help you change code into something that WordPress blog can display properly.
  • Organized and Structured Archives page

    There are many techniques to customize your Archive Index page. Some involve incorporation of plugins or PHP code to create customized lists of archived posts, and others provide more interesting ways of displaying your archives. You can display Archives By Year, month, categories, day, Weighted Categories, etc... The example below illustrats how to create an archives page listed by categories and months.
    <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <ul><?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1') ?></ul>
    <ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&show_post_count=1') ?></ul>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    Where wp_list_cats displays a list of WordPress categories as links and wp_get_archives displays a date-based archives list. If you want to retrieve every single page (perhaps for a custom archive page or a full article listing), you can set this to -1.
    <?php
     query_posts('posts_per_page=-1'); //to return all the posts without pagination
    ?>
    

  • Permalinks

    Setting your desired Permalinks structure is the first thing you should do after installing your WordPress blog because search engines index your blog based on post URLs and if you change from one to another then you will loose your rankings. You can change the Permalinks setting through Admin > Options > Permalinks. WordPress has to option to use pretty links, turning the numbered links into sentences. So instead of the default ugly permalink
    http://example.com/?p=N
    Use the Pretty Link structure
    http://example.com/category_name/post-name
    or
    http://example.com/year/month/day/post-name

  5. Great post, nice to have all this info in one place. One thing I didn’t see that I’m currently looking for is how to edit the RSS feeds for a WP site. I am using Custom Fields to display an image for each post and I want to include that image in the RSS feed too.

  6. Darren,
    You have great tips on your site! I’m glad you found this post to be useful.

    Jason,
    I am glad you found what you was looking for, you can always separate trackbacks and comments in various way, using javascript is one of my favorite so they work as tabs.

    Myo Kyaw Htun,
    You’re welcome. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

    Travis,

  7. I translate the guide into Chinese, and would like get your permission.

    In fact, I have been translated and published the article, and I hope you will not mind.
    THX!

  8. Really detailed and varied guide to WordPress there Noupe. Definitely a link to share with people still wondering what exactly they can get their WordPress to do. :D

  9. This is really, really good and very comprehensive as Darren pointed out. Must have taken a lot of efforts. I must applaud you for compiling such a fine post. Cheers.

  10. Thanks for the great resource, you’ve put everything i wanted to know in one place! I wrote a tutorial on how to use sliding doors in a WordPress theme (creating navigation menu) on my site a while back.

  11. whooo hooo what a list.I think i have been a noobie in wordpress till now.

    Lots of things to be done.bookmarking page straight away :)!!!

    Sam.

  12. Thank you all guys, we are glad you found some useful stuff here.
    We really appreciate your feedback and don’t forget to suggest any useful WordPress theme hacks and techniques as we will keep this post updated during this month with a direct link to the person who submitted the suggestion.

  13. WOW! Thank you. This is an incredible list of hacks. Glad my boss is out today. I’m going to be playing with my theme most of the day now!

  14. This has got to be one of the clearest and most comprehensive overviews I have ever seen. I am bookmarking this – or I may just keep it open in a FF tab. Thanks a lot. :)

  15. I’ve been using WordPress in my projects for years now and am very familiar with its internals… and yet you’ve highlighted some GREAT tips/tricks/plugins I previously had not known about. A job well done guys. You’ve made a new reader today.

  16. The ‘styling different categories’ in the ‘conditional tags’ section of your post doesn’t work and i get a php error when i use it. (i’ve replaced category number and style.css with my own).

    Is there anything else we can do to make this work?

  17. Not sure if anyone else had done this but I have 6 steps to host WordPress on multiple domains using advanced options in wp-config.php and domain pointer.

    Do check it out.

  18. Thanks Michael, your blog “Problogdesign” has many useful information related to WordPress that i wanted to share.

    Brit, did you create a new file and named it with your category name? Also what error did you get?

  19. i love this post. can anyone tell me how i would (with query posts) exclude two or more categories from the home page? thanks in advance!

  20. Thank you for your quick response. I tried that before you responded and it doesn’t work — it only excludes those posts in the first category ID listed (ie 1 in your example, but not 2 and 3). I have manipulated the order of the categories and found this to be true each time. Any other ideas?

  21. Daniel, Could you provide a working demo of your example?

    Amy, regarding your question of excluding 2 or more categories using query post you can use the code below:

    <?php
       if (is_home()) {
          query_posts("cat=-1,-2,-3");
       }
    ?>
  22. Ok Amy,
    Try this one, i have tested it and it works fine. Just don’t use the usual start of the loop code and use the code below:

    
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : query_posts($query_string .'&cat=-13,-26'); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    

    Also there is a nice plugin that you can use to do this job for you “Advanced Category Excluder”, The main goal of this plugin is to hide some unwanted categories, from defined parts of the blog like your home page, your feed, etc…
    You can download it at the link below:

  23. Great job, Noupe!

    I’m trying to translate this post into Chinese so that I can share your useful tips with my friends. I don’t know if this is Ok for you? I will put a link pointing to your original post and statement that mine is just a translation of your post.

  24. Wooow!
    Such an astounding guide!
    Thank you very very much, can’t wait for the next articles :)

  25. What an aawesome list! Bookmarked and Stumbled.

    I came up with a WordPress hack that allows you to import links into your WordPress blogroll by category, rather than having them dumped into the default category. It saves time if you have a lot of links and use a lot of link categories.

  26. WordPress is entirely to strict, blogger doesnt give a Crap. I will do blogger until i get more design skills. Great blog though.

  27. Excellent tutorials!! Thanks for your great effort, really appreciated. Bookmarked and can’t wait for your next post.

    Cheers,
    Justin

  28. Is there a hack that would allow me to change the theme of a WP Blog without doing it through admin?

    If I wanted to show a client three different WP themes all running off the same DB (as per theme viewer) but not have to do three installs is that possible?

    Can’t see any reference in DB to them used or no mention of them in the PHP code.

    Thanks.

  29. Hi there,

    Great posts thanks, I want to start using exceprts but ther are a bit boring at the moment on my site. How can I make an image appear like on your blog, can you point me in the right direction?

    Cheers,
    Gaj

  30. Thanks very much. I especially like the tip to display the trackbacks after the comments.
    Keep up the good work!

  31. Hello
    Thanks for the great tutorials.
    My question is could you please write a plugin that can simply help to upload images and manage them to a specific folder withing wordpress where we can call the image files for the excerpts.
    It think wordpress files upload sucks (I don’t even know if there is one beside uploading directly images for the articles.
    Please help us with a plugin or guidance or how o do it withing wordpress without using any external program.
    Again thanks and I am gonna follow this post for answer
