4. Look between the
and
tags for the lines of code that set the RSS feed to be auto-detected by browsers. Since there are different feeds for posts, comments, RSS2 and atom, there will probably be four sections you need to delete. Delete the following lines of code if present:
' />
' />
' />
RSS Comments Feed' href='
' />
5. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the 'Update File' button.

How to Get the Most From FeedBurner on Your Wordpress Blog





1.

All you have to do to get started with FeedBurner is give them the URL of your blog (or podcast blog) to let them 'burn' it. Burning your blog simply means that you will benefit from the services at FeedBurner that attract more readers to your blog and plug you into a wider network of eyeballs than you might have on your own.
2. Once you've burned a feed with FeedBurner you have access to additional services related to your account. You can track the number of subscribers to your blog, get stats about page visits, and even participate in their ad network.

3. If you're running a self-hosted Wordpress blog, FeedBurner recommends that you use a Wordpress plugin called FeedSmith (named for the original plugin creator, Steve Smith). You'll find a link to download the plugin in Resources below.
4. FeedSmith redirects all your RSS traffic through FeedBurner. Your users don't have to do anything other than subscribe to your feed as usual. FeedSmith is installed in the plugins directory on your server and activated in your blog's admin plugins panel. In the WordPress administration area, configure FeedSmith by clicking Options and then the FeedBurner FeedSmith sub-option. Follow the links to create your FeedBurner feeds, or if they already exist, simply fill in their URLs in the boxes provided.

How to Write Code for WordPress Syntax





Write the HTML
1. Write your Web site's HTML first. HTML provides the structure for Web pages, while all other Web languages -- for example, CSS, JavaScript and PHP -- add functionality and style afterwards. Make sure to use the proper doctype declaration for whichever HTML specification you use, whether HTML5 or XHTML.
2. Write well-formed HTML, and even when writing HTML5, close all tags and self-closing tags like '' by adding a space and a backslash, like this: '
'. Enclose your attribute values in single or double quotes. Use the W3C Validator service to check your code.

3. Cut up your HTML file into the following parts: header, body, sidebar and footer. The header begins with your doctype declaration and ends wherever the heading ends, not at the end of the '
' tag itself. The footer ends with your final '
' tag. Save these files as header.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php, respectively.
Write the CSS
4. Write your theme's CSS in the style.css file. While you can include more CSS files in your themes, to minimize the number of server requests, write as much of your CSS in one file as you can.
5. Put each CSS selector on its own line, even when chaining selectors together. The Codex states that you should write each property-value pair on its own line as well, so do not write entire style rules on one line. Here is an example of proper CSS:#something {property: value;property: value;}
6. Write your selectors as single words without spaces or, if necessary, separate words in class names and IDs by using dashes. Do not 'camelcase' class and ID names, such as writing 'authorpage' as 'authorPage.' This is common in JavaScript but poor form in CSS.
Write the PHP
7. Replace HTML code in your PHP files with template tags wherever the page needs to load content written in the WordPress dashboard. Wrap template tags in opening and closing PHP tags as follows:

8. Wherever the template files load images, scripts or any other files that make up the theme, use 'bloginfo()' to make the path relative, as in the following example:
/js/myscript.js'>

9. Create a blank file, and save it as functions.php. Add your custom PHP functions to this file so that you can call them in any of your template files. Write your PHP by using alternating single and double quotes instead of escaping quotes with backslashes. Never write shorthand PHP tags anywhere in your theme. Capitalize any SQL database statements such as 'UPDATE' or 'WHERE ID.' Use proper indentation, and make your code as readable as possible.

How to Insert a Paragraph in WordPress

'. Write your paragraph.

' at the end of your text.

How to Set Up a Mirror WordPress Site





1. Decide where to host your mirror site. If you only need local access to your site, you can host the installation locally on your personal computer. Using a local host allows instant changes without an Internet connection. Remote hosting, through a web server, gives you access from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. It is best to test user functionality before moving a change to your production site.
2. Set your mirror URL. Log into your domain name control panel and add a sub-domain for your mirror site. If you are using a local host, install a program like WAMP and set up a directory localhost that you can access through your web browser. If you are using a remote host, choose a domain like mirror.yoursite.com or test.yoursite.com to use for hosting.

3. Install WordPress into the mirror directory. If you are skilled at editing databases and php files, you can copy the database and WordPress directory directly to the new host. If not, use the WordPress installation wizard or your hosting WordPress installation tool to setup a new WordPress site hosted at your new URL.
4. Copy your production WordPress site to the new installation. WordPress has a user friendly export/import function that will automate the data transfer. In the WordPress administration panel, you can find the export and import functions under the 'Tools' menu.
5. Copy your template and set your file permissions. Using an FTP client, copy your theme files and set your file permissions on the mirror site to match your production site. Also, make sure you have a .htaccess file that is writable by WordPress with 775 file permission so your new site will function properly.

How to Make a WordPress Post Sticky to the Top





1. Navigate to your WordPress folder. Open 'WP-Content' and then 'themes.' Within that folder, find the folder named for the theme you wish to edit. Open that folder and look for 'Index.PHP' and 'Home.PHP.' If you do not have a Home.PHP file, that is OK. Open those files in a code editor like Notepad , BBEdit or jEdit.
2. Locate the main
or
tag that surrounds the entire blog post. This tag often contains a class named 'post' or something similar to that. After that tag, you should see code for the post title and then the content. Here is an example:


'>






3. Add the post_class() function to the
or
tag. You only need this code in the tag that wraps around the whole post. Here is an example of a
tag modified to include the post_class() function:
>The post_class() function generates multiple class names for every post, including the class name you need for sticky posts, 'sticky.'
4. Open the 'style.css' file for your theme, and add the following CSS code:.sticky {background-color: #f4f583;}This code gives all stickied posts a light yellow background color, but you can change the CSS code to include any styles you want. For example, you can add a thick, blue border around the posts, or you can change the color of the text.
5. Log in to the WordPress dashboard. Navigate to 'Posts.' Click a post you want to make sticky and then click the 'Edit' link next to 'Visibility' in the 'Publish' box. Tick the box next to 'Stick this post...' to set the post to sticky, and then click 'OK.' Click the blue 'Update' button to save changes.

How to Install Multiple Wordpress Plugins Using FileZilla

3. See two panels. The left panel is your computer's files and folders. The right panel is your server's files and folders. Beneath that you will see two smaller panels. The right side shows the files that open up when you click the folder in the top panel. The left side is the same, but opens the folders from your server.
4. Click on the folder on the right side that houses your server's folders. Look for your domain's name and open that folder. It will show you several Wordpress folders. Open the one that says 'Wp-Content.'
