Single wp-config for web and localhost - English
Published: On Saturday, August 8, 2009
Pretty usual routine is to develop site on localhost server and after some progress move it online. This transfer is complicated by three not-always-necessary steps.
- database settings in wp-config.php file are different
- settings of home- and site- URLs are different (defaultly located in wp_options table)
- eventually the base-path in .htaccess file is different
First two points can be easily solved by using single wp-config. Especially is the benefit visible at the point #2, when you don't have to browse phpMyAdmin for that 2 particular rows, because these paths are written into wp-config.php file.

Localhost / Web switch function - English
Published: On Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Sometimes happens to me, that the (db) content of WP site is simply out-of-sync with the copy running on localhost. I'd like to do some changes, let's say add Pages and since I want to do it fast, I don't care about synchronisation (which means 1. sql dump download 2. sql import 3. modifications in wp_options).
In these cases of unsynchronized databases, I often encounter the fact of different IDs: a new page created on localhost first won't finally have the same post-ID online. Now, I need to use in template a condition like
is_page(...)— but I know, it will work either on localhost or on the web. Following simple switch-like-working function can be the solution. -
Applying Custom Field GUI plugin to Pages as well - English
Published: On Saturday, October 25, 2008
The Custom Field GUI plugin:
… enables the automation of creation of form element user interface for entering Post' custom field.
With this great (but long time not updated plugin) you can manage only posts' custom fields. But what if you'd like to use it for Pages too?

All tags in a drop-down menu (aka select box) - English
Published: On Thursday, March 13, 2008
You may will like to display all your tags in a drop-down (it's already possible with categories and thanks to a plugin, with posts too).
And remember, since this is some kind of raw code (I share it rather as a possible inspiration than as a finished optimized solution), it's except else not accessible with disabled java-script.

Highlight admin’s comments easily - English
Published: On Tuesday, November 13, 2007
I've got know about a plugin today, that should help us with with highlighting comments written by the blog's author. „Why the heck should somebody use a plugin for such a simple operation?“ – I asked myself in the first moment. Yes, the plugin provides a few possibilities that can be called as non-trivial but people should not forget that this basic issue can be solved extremely easily and – without any plug-in. In fact, I'm wondering that this capability is not included in default theme, actually I'm not wondering, because Kubrick still misses much more than that.

Let’s hide the update notice in administration! - English
Published: On Thursday, November 1, 2007
Sometimes it can be useful to hide the new notice on the top in the administration, added in version 2.3. (I speak about the notice that's shown if you don't use the latest version of WP.) I don't really know how many people would like to switch this announcement off, so I'm not able to consider how useful such a switch button would be, but as far as I know, there is currently no switch in Settings, yet. :-) And I need it, from time to time.

Theme folder needs cleaning, now! - English
Published: On Saturday, July 28, 2007
More practically oriented sequel of Theme folder needs cleaning, right? article, in which I talked about the mess in default theme folder, but only theoretically. We, theme developers, do not have to wait until Wordpress developers make changes in Kubrick, which often serves us as a model and this is a really bad habit, but some modifications are able to be done long since.

Optimal title (without plugin)? - English
Published: On Tuesday, July 24, 2007
Well, finally I have come before the question How to make title more user- (& SEO-) friendly? and the for the answer I didn't have to „wait“ too long :-). Read this:
<title>< ?php echo ( $title = wp_title('', false) ) ? $title . ' | ' : ''; bloginfo('name'); ?></title> -
Mastering the feeds’ problem - English
Published: On Tuesday, July 10, 2007
You probably noticed that some time ago i cried about “how silly Wordpress works with feeds”:/wordpress/wp-feeds-miserable-performance/, now I come with a solution. First thing I tried before I could be lost in infinite list of wp-plug-ins was that I **signed up into “FeedBurner”:http://feedburner.com/**. If you didn’t hear about Feedburner yet (what I really doubt about), it’s a web service which offers you much things, everything is of course related to *feeding* and it’s nicely “written down here”:http://www.FeedBurner.com/fb/a/about by FeedBurner people themselves.
