This thread will be all about WordPress. From issues of creating Themes to using WordPress. Articles and Q&As.

In another word, let's say it is a thread for WordPress developers and Users by WordPress Developers and Users .

Two Rules guys.
1. STRICTLY WORDPRESS.
If you seek knowledge, question or idea about only WordPress, State it; If I can't answer, another guru reading this will be able to. And if not, Google will help us all.

2. LITTLE JOKES.
we all love that right? Our lives shouldn't be boring because we are coders.

I will book down the next comment line to be an archive of links to solutions we have been able to solve or articles by Nairalanders outside Nairaland.

Let's keep it rolling Guys, Mans, Madams, Grandmas, Grandpas, GGF, GGM, ...

1. WordPress Pagination

Okay...
Here we go!

I thought i could be able to post something yesterday, but i was only sleeping and waking, and the circle continues till i get to Lagos. K k k k k k k,

Lemme talk about WordPress Pagination till this battery went off! Lag light don worse

WordPress Pagination
As a WordPress Developer, you will definitely be creating template files. One of which is definitely for sure is index.php; there is also the single.php and as much others to page-archive.php. One thing is common to all of them, you need a means of creating pagination as your blog posts goes beyond the default 10 posts. How do you do that? What WordPress function do you need to use? When do you need to use such functions?

[size=13pt]What WordPress function do you need to use?[/size]

Option 1
If all you need to do is to create a link to the next page, then use this function

1. next_posts_link('Text to Display') :- Which links to a page with older posts.
2. previous_posts_link('Text to Display') :- Which links to a page with newer posts.

Now, there is something i don't about the above functions. When you have less than 10 posts on any page you've implemented it, the links won't show up as usual which is frankly the normal; But heyyyy!!! the markup you used will be showing. if for example, you embed those functions in a p tag, your p tag will definitely display with no values (i.e empty) but it takes up some space in your canvas;behaving as if you've styled the p tag with visibility: hidden; Extra white-space could disfigure your Interface, you know

And that brings me to the next super duper function which solves the above problem. And yes, this function might be all you need if you don't want the fancy tangy stuffs.

Option 2
1. get_next_posts_link('Older Posts') :-
2. get_previous_posts_link('Newer posts')

The additional power these two functions gives you is that they allow you to check if there are multiple pages before outputting the links. Hence, the problem of extra white-space is solved.

But, Mr Man, i want some fancy pagination styles not just two links that takes me to two different pages. is that what you just said? I want to display page numbers so that my users can go to the 10th page without pressing 'Next Page' link 9 times!

Well the functions i have described so far sucks at that. Yes including that super duper function. So, i bring you to the super duper fancer function

Option 3
1. wp_link_pages($arguments)

The Pagination function that displays page numbers giving your users the ability to link to page 3 without going through page 2.

The fancer part of this function is that you can style it anyway you feel like. Yes! even like pages of a book Well that's possible, anything is possible, my personal blog looks like a house with those terms of a jagon like Fasia board, ridge and even windows. Na small gan remain i 4 get gate d@ u will need to unlock before you enter

So guys, that's its. Are there any other ways you can create pagination in WordPress apart from the above? well lemme av you too to contribute, no be only me sabi am, i learn am too ni...

[size=14pt]How do you use them?[/size]
I haven't given any examples and that's because writing codes here on Nairaland will be a pain in the ass. I will talk extensively on this in my blog at a later date. To see how you can implement Option 1 and 2, then you can check this [url=toheeb.com/display-pagination-in-wordpress-only-if-there-is/]snippet[/url] i wrote some days ago. For the main time you can G gle it up!!!

Hi....

Plugins are the answers. However, if what you intend to achieve can be done with few lines of codes, then implement that in your functions.php file.

Functions like integrating payment,

Plugins like [url="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/"]WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart[/url]

Upload and download files if my theme does not come with such functions

[/quote]
and [url="https://wordpress.org/plugins/sell-digital-downloads/"]Sell Digital Downloads[/url] allows you to upload the files via the standard media uploader. then you create a new product associated with these uploaded files. When a user pays t=you get notified and the download link is inboxed to the customer.

Login page with privileges for different users,

WordPress gives you ability for 5 different User categories
1- Administrator :- Oga at the top patapata. Can do and Undo. Install Plugins, edit template files, change a LOT!
2- Editor:- Can only manage POSTS. update and edit and other stuffs pertaining to posts.
3- Author:- can publish and manage his/her own posts.
4- Contributor:- Can only manage his/her own posts. He will not be able to publish them!
5- Subscribers:- Can only manage their own profile. commenters for example


[size=14pt]How to create a user[/size]
WordPress Dashboard > Users > Add New

Note: The Login Page for all users is still the same as the one that allows you into your Dashboard

free2ryhme:


what happens when you upgrade and you dont get to change from .

If i can get your question correctly, you want to change from ex. to something more like example.com or ex.com; right?

If yes, Just follow this process

1. Export content from your current blog
2. Import content to your new blog
3. Add a site redirect to direct your visitors at old blog to new blog

There are many imports and export plugins for wordpress. [url="https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/"] All in one WP Migration [/url] may be all you will need. You may as well search the wordpress directory for best plugins.

I hope it helps

some meaningful jagons to WordPress Developers

Hello wordpress gurus in the house. I recently designed an e-commerce website for a client. The thing is, he wants a flat of #500 shipping rate for orders below #5000 and a 10% on orders above #5000. I could set either for just #500 flat or just 10% on orders above #5000 but I can't set both together. Can anyone help with this shipping rate customization?

If i may ask, why can't you set both together?

My assumption right now is for you to make a conditional check on the value of the order, then integrate a #500 shipping rate for values less than #5000 and 10% else. IF / ELSE statement

For the love of SEO and ranking, domain redirect is not the best thing to do. It will depend on the headers you are sending too.

You are right if it is a 302 redirect or meta meta refresh.

However, a 301 redirect is okay for the love of SEO and Ranking . Moz reported that it passes 90-99% of ranking power to the redirected page.

something like this should do the trick...



if ( $order_value < 5000 ) {
$with_shipping_value = 500 + $order_value ;
}
else {
$charge = 0.1 * $order_value ;
$with_shipping_value = $charge + $order_value;
}

you can always use the value $with_shipping_value henceforth!!!
