PayPal Donate Text or Button in a WordPress Post with Shortcode
Unless you’re living under a rock (or you live in Tasmania), you’re probably already well aware that PayPal provides donate buttons for your website. This post details how to display a text link or button that will send visitors to your PayPal donate page. Personally, I’m not a fan of using donate buttons for any [...]
Generate Random WordPress Posts with Shortcode
A short time ago I provided some shortcode that would return future (scheduled) posts with shortcode. The following code is similar in design… except that it will return random posts from your WordPress database. In terms of Conversion Rate Optimization, generating random posts on your blog gives your readers another means of ‘escape’ from the [...]
Count the Number of Shares to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn & Google Plus
I’ve recently consolidated two websites (FlyingTraining.net and CrewResourceManagement.com) into flight.org as a means of managing my time and resources more effectively. The other sites will be revived in one way or another but they’ll be built ‘low maintenance’. Apart from the multiple site to manage, there was a large overlap in content that was far [...]
A Better Way to Add RSS Feeds to Your WordPress Blog (Using Shortcode)
Some time back, I provided some very simple code that would render an RSS feed with shortcode. It was only this morning when I was writing a quick post that follows this one I’ll post soon that’ll show you how to include a Google Plus RSS feed into your WordPress post or page that I [...]
Add a WordPress Featured Image Preview to Your Posts Menu
If you’re anything like me, you will write a bunch of posts and forget if you set the featured image. You may also want to log in quickly and ensure that guest posters have managed to set their own featured image. This code will add a featured image column with image preview in your ‘All [...]
Display Future (Scheduled) WordPress Posts with Shortcode
The last couple of months has been busy for me. In one of my other lives I work as an airline pilot for an Aussie carrier. I recently migrated from our long-haul Boeing 777 fleet over to the Boeing 737 where I’m currently undergoing line training. As is evidenced from this website over the last [...]
A Better Way of Coding Custom Functions and CSS: A Shortcode Plugin.
Some time back I wrote a blog titled, “Better WordPress Custom Coding – custom functions/css file“. At the time, I was using the Thesis framework (which I really don’t like at all now, especially since Genesis) and the little hack emulated the way in which we referenced a custom_functions.php file containing all our custom code [...]
Redirect WordPress Search Result if it Only Returns One Post
If you searched Internoetics for “FMA CDU” prior to today, the site would have returned only one single result. It’s a fairly specific search term and it’s pretty clear what the user is looking for. In such instances, what’s the point of generating a “list” of search results when it’s a single result they’re after? [...]
Add Anything to the End of WordPress Post Content
I’ve just added a box at the end of every post encouraging a subscription to my mailing list. The only other location it appears on the page is in the left hand column… but the colors and size tends to dull it out. As I’ve been sending more and more free code to mailing list [...]
Add a Facebook Like Box to WordPress (with and without Shortcode)
The Facebook Like Box is a social ‘plugin’ that enables website owners to attract visitors, likes and support of their Facebook page directly from their website or blog. It can be styled in a minimalistic sense (see my like button in the right column) or it can be further populated with data showing how many [...]
