How to Add a Blogroll in WordPress

1. Create a list of blogs you want to link to. A good blogroll has links to blogs that are similar in subject material and create further reading opportunities for your readers. Bloggers will appreciate you putting them on your blogroll, so it's also important to consider what blogs you want to link back to you. Bloggers are much more likely to link to someone who already links to them.
2. Log into WordPress or your self-hosted blog and choose the 'Add New' option under the 'Links' widget on the left hand side. Enter the name, Web address, and description of the blog you want to link to. You can choose if you want the new link to appear in the same window that your blog is in, or a separate one.

3. Choose the 'Blogroll' button in the 'Categories' option if it is not already checked. Create a new category if you also want to add links to websites that are not blogs. Wordpress 3.1 allows bloggers to identify how they know the person they are linking to. Choose your relationship with the blogger you are linking to carefully because this information is embedded into your blogs HTML code and read by search engines.
4. Choose whether or not you want your blogroll to have its own page or appear on a side panel on your main blog page. A blogroll with its own page will not be seen as often or carry as much relevance with other bloggers. A blogroll on your main blog page is more relevant, but it can also clutter the look of your site and create a less pleasant experience for your readers.

If you have not given WordPress the ability to modify folders on your server you must create it manually using an FTP program or through your hosting company's interface.

3. Click the 'Full URL path to files' field, and type the full URL of the folder that you defined in the previous step. For example, if your website's URL is 'example.com' and you used the folder name 'Media' in the previous step enter 'http://www.example.com/Media' in this field.
4. Click the 'Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders' check box if you would like WordPress to automatically create subfolders within the folder that you defined in order to organize files according to when you uploaded them.

How to Widgetize the WordPress Body

1. Open your theme's template files in a code editor or Notepad. You need to edit every template where you want a widgetized body, so if you want to widgetize the body of the blog index and single post pages, then edit both index.php and single.php. Edit page.php if you want to widgetize static pages. Open the functions.php file for your theme as well.
2. Add the following code to your functions.php file:if(function_exists('register_sidebar')) {register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Body Widget Area','before_widget' => '
,'after_widget' => '
','before_title' => '
','after_title' => '
');}The above code checks that you can register sidebars and then registers a sidebar called 'Body Widget Area.' That is the name you will see on the 'Widgets' page in the WordPress dashboard. Wherever you place code to include this widgetized 'sidebar,' WordPress will add div tags with a class of 'body_widget.' Each widget title will get wrapped in the H3 tag.

3. Add the following code to any template file where you want a widgetized area to appear in the body of the page:

This if statement checks to see if the 'sidebar' exists or not. If it does not, it executes some fallback code. Place manual calls to widgets between the two lines of code to set your fallback. This code also places the 'sidebar' wherever you place it on the page.
4. Open the style.css file of your theme and add this code:.body_widget {width: XXpx;height: XXpx;}Replace 'XX' with the values you want, in pixels. Add any other CSS code you want for the div containing the widgetized area. The CSS code goes between the curly braces.
5. Upload your edited files to the appropriate theme file under /wp-content/themes/ on your server. Visit the wp-admin directory of your website and log in to the dashboard. Navigate to 'Widgets' and click the down arrow on 'Body Widget Area' to expand the 'sidebar' box. You can now drag and drop widgets in to the body's widgetized area, and they will appear in the body of your WordPress posts and pages.

How to Move the WordPress Index.php From a Subdirectory

1. Open your File Transfer Protocol program and connect to the server that hosts your website by typing your username, password and server address. You can contact your host if you do not know this information. Alternatively, you can log into your browser-based file manager to access your files.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains your WordPress installation and the 'index.php.' Right click and select the option to download the file to your computer (via FTP). Make note of the file's location.

3. Open the file in a code editor, such as Notepad and locate the following line of code:require('./wp-blog-header.php');Change the location of the WP blog header to indicate which directory contains the file. For example, if your installation is in a 'wordpress' folder, this line would become:require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
4. Save your index file and upload it to the new location, outside of the directory. For example, you may upload it to the root of your website instead of the 'wordpress' folder. You can double click it from the 'Local' pane in your FTP program or click and drag it from an open folder on your computer into the server pane of your FTP client.
5. Log into your WordPress dashboard in your Web browser and click 'General' from the settings section in the navigation to open your settings. Change the 'WordPress address (URL)' entry to the location of your WordPress installation. For instance, it may be 'http://yourwebsite.com/wordpress' where 'http://yourwebsite.com' is your actual website address. Change the 'Site Address' to the location of your index file/website. This is now your website's address. Click 'Save Changes' on the bottom of the page.

How to List Posts That Are Pending Review in WordPress

1. Log in to the WordPress dashboard, go to 'Appearance' and click the 'Editor' link. Locate the template where you want to add the list of pending posts and click its link to load the file in the theme editor.
2. Create a new query of the WordPress database:$query = new WP_Query();Use any name for the variable; 'query' works well but any name will work.

3. Add parameters for the query between the parentheses. Set 'post_status' to 'pending' to get pending posts. Use 'ignore_sticky_posts=1' to keep sticky posts -- posts set to always appear at the top of the blog index -- out of your list:$query = new WP_Query('post_status=pendingignore_sticky_posts=1');
4. Start a 'While' loop to display posts returned by the query:while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
5. Close the block of PHP code with an ending delimeter tag -- ?> -- and add this code to output a link to each pending post:
' title='
'>



6. Open a new pair of PHP delimeter tags and write the next block of PHP code between them. Close your 'While' loop with 'endwhile' and use 'wp_reset_postdata()' to clear the query.

How to Remove and Reinstall WordPress

1. Open your customary direct connection to your domain server through your regular FTP software application. Navigate to your WordPress folder on the server.
2. Copy any non-WordPress 'core' files that have been stored inside your WordPress site folder on your server, such as pictures and other graphic files. These items are not a part of the WordPress module, nor your MySQL database. These are image files that you have added to your WordPress 'world' over time. Manually copy and save these important elements in another file somewhere. But note the file folders where these files were originally stored; you'll need to put these items back where they came from.

3. Highlight the WordPress file entry as a whole or the three main modules of WordPress (wp-includes, wp-admin, wp-content) and press 'Delete' on your keyboard or click on your FTP 'Delete' icon. Confirm that you indeed want to delete the entire installation by clicking 'Yes.' As soon as the file folder is empty, your WordPress core is gone. If you check your domain address now, you will receive a '404' error message: 'Website not found.'
4. Locate your preferred version of WordPress. You can either reload from a file already on your computer or download a newer version from WordPress.org. Extract the compressed WordPress file on your hard drive and then move all the WordPress files over to your domain server to the proper, or main, directory.
5. Right-click the 'config-sample.php' file that exists on your hard drive inside your WordPress folder as soon as the WordPress core has deployed. Choose 'Edit.'
6. Edit the data inside this 'config' file so it points back to your MySQL database again. Most domain servers and MySQL setups will ask for an account name or number, a user name or number, a pre-established database password, and a server address name or number. Enter these items into the 'config' file carefully. Save the file, changing the name of the file from 'config-sample.php' to 'config.php.'
7. Load the new 'config.php' file to your WordPress server file. Load any new or familiar 'theme' files to the WordPress folder 'wp-content/themes.' Reload your images and other graphic elements or other documents to their original WordPress file folders.
8. Navigate to your WordPress website with this address: http://mydomainname.com/wp-install.php. This will activate the WordPress Install module. Fill out the setup form, remembering to 'point' your WordPress install back to the correct server location for your MySQL database. The install module will then go to work reestablishing those former connections to your data. When this process is complete, exit the program.
9. Log in to your administrative account---usually with the user name 'admin' and a new password that WordPress.org emails to you.
10. Open your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to the 'Appearance/Themes' section. Highlight your old theme or a new theme entry. Click 'Activate.' This will turn on the theme elements throughout your WordPress site. Your old data should magically appear again, in the same location if you use the same theme or in new locations and forms if you are changing theme templates.
11. Troubleshoot and tweak your fresh installation. If elements such as pictures or graphics are missing, it's usually because the programming is 'looking' for the item in a certain location (such as an 'Images' folder) and you have copied the images to a different location by accident. Restore all those elements to their proper mapped locations or reload the images to WordPress through the WordPress Uploader program.

2. Navigate to 'Editor' in the 'Appearance' submenu on the left-hand side of the dashboard. Scroll down and click the 'berries.css' link to open the Blueberry color schemes style sheet.

3. Look for a CSS comment line that includes the name of the color scheme you want to edit:/* blackberry css */
4. Find the CSS selector that 'selects' the type of text you want to edit and change its 'color' property value to your new color:.blueberry #headertxt h1 a:hover {color: #fff;}Blueberry uses shortened versions of hexadecimal codes, but you can change the value of 'color' to a full-length, six-digit hexadecimal code. You can also use color names. Click 'Update File' to finish.

How to Reset Your Password for WordPress in MySQL

1. Log-in to phpMyAdmin through your hosting provider's control panel.
2. Open your WordPress installation's database. If you cannot remember which database you used, you can use an FTP program to open the site's wp_config.php file to find the name.

3. Browse through the 'wp_users' table. The prefix may be different, depending upon how you set-up your installation. The wp_config.php file can also tell you what the prefix is.

3. Click the 'Edit' link next to 'Published' in the 'Publish' box. Change the page status to 'Draft' and click the blue 'Update' button to save. You can also click the red 'Move to Trash' link, but setting a page to 'Draft' saves it in the backend while removing it from the website.
4. Navigate to 'Appearance' in the left-hand menu and then click 'Menus'. Look for a link labeled 'Home'. If you see one, then click on the arrow on that link to view its options. Click the red 'Remove' link and then click the blue 'Save Menu' button.
5. Click 'Settings' in the left-hand menu and then go to 'Reading'. Check the 'Front page displays' settings. If you used 'Home' as a static front page, then you should create a new page and set that as the front page.
