			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-make-sticky-posts-in-wordpress/">Sticky posts</a> is one of the cool features that WordPress has, but sometimes you do not want to have sticky posts in your loop. In this article, we will show you how to completely exclude sticky posts from the loop in WordPress, and we will also show you how you can take away the sticky feature of the post, so it still shows in their natural order.</p>
<h4>How to take away the Sticky Ability of the Post</h4>
<p>When you are displaying <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-display-recent-posts-in-wordpress/">most recent posts</a> in a tab, you do not want the sticky posts to stay sticky. If you do not remove the sticky features, the recent posts area would be useless as all of your sticky posts will crowd this area. This is when query_posts feature comes in handy.</p>
<p>To do this you will need to change your loop to something like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;?php<br />
query_posts(&#39;caller_get_posts=1&#39;);<br />
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();<br />
?&gt;</p></blockquote>
<h4>Completely exclude Sticky posts from the Loop</h4>
<p>If you are using Sticky posts in a slider, then sometimes you might want to completely exclude your sticky posts from the loop. All what you have to do is edit your custom loop to match with this:</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;?php<br />
query_posts(array(&quot;post__not_in&quot; =&gt;get_option(&quot;sticky_posts&quot;)));<br />
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();<br />
?&gt;</p></blockquote>
<p>This code will not display any sticky posts in the post loop. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to controlling ad space on WordPress blogs, there are few options out there. In this article we will be sharing a highly reputed commercial Ad Manager plugin known as <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/oiopublisher" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">OIO Publisher</a>. The goal of this plugin is to maximize your revenue, save you time, and keep you in control of your ad space.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/oiopublisher" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogposts/oiopub.gif" alt="OIO Publisher" /></a></p>
<h2>What Can You Do with <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/oiopublisher" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='OIO Publisher - Best Plugin for Managing the Ads';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">OIO Publisher</a>?</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/oiopublisher" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='OIO Publisher - Best Plugin for Managing the Ads';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">OIO Publisher</a> allows you to place ad spots throughout your web site in the zones that you like, and then go out there and sell those ads. It allows you to pick what size ads you want, and how much should they cost. It also integrates with several payment options such as PayPal and 2Checkout.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogposts/oiopubsettings.gif" alt="OIO Publisher Settings" /></p>
<p>This plugin is full with features. You get to set zones and in each zone you can choose how many ads will be displayed. You have an option to make the ads rotate. You can offer buyers the opportunity to buy several months of advertising at a discount pricing or you can do monthly subscription. All of this is and much more can be done through the straight forward administration panel.</p>
<p>There is a default banner that reads Advertise here. When a buyer clicks on one of your Advertise Here links, they will be taken to your sales page. This page will be generated by this plugin. Here the users can fill out their information, upload their advertisement image, and choose the payment method. Once they submit an ad, it waits for your approval before it is published on the site. Once you’ve approved the advertisement, <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/oiopublisher" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='OIO Publisher - Best Plugin for Managing the Ads';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">OIO Publisher</a> will run the ad for the period that you were paid for, and it will email out statistics on how the ad is doing to the buyer. If your sponsor subscribed for month to month payment, OIO Publisher checks with paypal or their payment method to see if the payment was made. If the subscription was cancelled, it will notify you, and automatically remove the ad from the site.</p>

<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogposts/oioreport.gif" alt="OIO Publisher Advertiser Report" /></p>
<p>There are also options for offering pay-per-post, digital downloads, and affiliate programs. All at rates you set in the administrative panel.</p>
<h2>Our Opinion</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/oiopublisher" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">OIO Publisher</a> is a great product that will put you in control. It is very easy to implement and use, but this product does not guarantee that you will have plenty of advertisers. You will still have to do the hard work in order to get advertisers to purchase the ads from your site.</p>
<p>The downside of OIO Publisher when compared to services like <a href="http://buysellads.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BuySellAds</a> is that these services have a huge advertising base, and they can drive advertisers to your sites. Even though OIO Publisher have a marketplace section on their website, it is no where near as powerful as BuySellAds. You will still have to do a lot of work to get advertisers to your site. </p>
<p>The plus side of using OIO Publisher is that you get to keep 100% of the profits from selling the ad spots whereas on services like BuySellAds, there is a middle man fee that you pay. </p>
<p><strong>Cost of this Plugin:</strong> $47 (<a href="www.wpbeginner.com/refer/oiopublisher" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$10 OFF Coupon for WPBeginner Users</a>)</p>
<p>This is a one-time fee, and you can use this plugin on as many domains as you want (as long as you own them). You will also get outstanding support from OIO Publisher team when needed for this one-time fee.</p>

If you are on WPBeginner, you will see us recommending everyone to use <a href="http://www.wordpress.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Self Hosted WordPress.org platform</a>. But many users think that our views are biased, therefore we asked Darren Rowse from <a href="http://www.problogger.net/" target="_blank">Problogger</a> for his permission to use the data from the poll he ran on his site.</p>
<p>We took the results from Darren&#8217;s Poll about <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2009/05/11/what-blog-platform-do-you-use-most/" target="_blank">What Blog Platform Do You Use?</a> and displayed it in our infographic to present a more convincing argument. As of now, there are a total of 3476 bloggers who participated in this poll, and you can see the results in our Infograph.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/which-blogging-platform-should-you-use/?display=wide"><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/infographs/whichplatformmini.gif" alt="Which Blogging Platform Should You Use? (Infographic)" /></a></p>
<p>WordPress.org got the majority of the votes and WordPress.com was on third place in user choice. If you need help distinguishing between the two platforms see our infograph about <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/self-hosted-wordpress-org-vs-free-wordpress-com-infograph/">Self Hosted WordPress vs. Free WordPress.com</a>.</p>
<p>Our pick in the Best Platform is ofcourse WordPress.org, and we have mentioned a few reasons why you should use WordPress. But if the reasons in the infographic is not enough for you, then you should check out our fully detailed post about <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/why-you-should-use-wordpress/">Why You Should Use WordPress</a>.</p>
<p>Feel free to post a comment below about which platform do you use, and why you use it.</p>
<p>Once again, all thanks goes to <a href="http://twitter.com/problogger">Darren Rowse</a> of Problogger for letting us use his data to create this interactive graphic for our users.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There will be times that you need to display post-specific content for example a <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/display-different-sidebar-for-each-post-and-page-for-wordpress/">different sidebar for a specific post</a>. Usually post specific contents are added via a custom field which can only be displayed inside a post loop. In this article we will show you how you can display custom fields outside the loop. This tutorial will allow you to expand the possibilities of what you can do with WordPress.</p>
<p>The code will look like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;?php<br />
global $wp_query;<br />
$postid = $wp_query-&gt;post-&gt;ID;<br />
echo get_post_meta($postid, &#39;Your-Custom-Field&#39;, true);<br />
wp_reset_query();<br />
?&gt;</p></blockquote>
<p>You will need to make sure that you change the part where it says &#8220;Your-Custom-Field&#8221;.</p>
<p>This code is just the basic code. You can play around with it and use all the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">query_post arguments</a> to fit your needs. You can even display another post&#8217;s custom fields on a single page of a different post.</p>
<p>In this (<a href="http://www.uzzz.net/testimonials/lindsey-nobles/">Example</a>) at Uzzz, we are displaying the custom fields of a specific portfolio post, into the single post of a related testimonial post.</p>
<p>This snippet is very useful for theme developers. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comment or via email.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twitter has grown exponentially over the past year, and it is one of the fastest growing social networks at the moment. It is an extremely powerful marketing and promotion tool that no active blogger can ignore. Twitter has the power to make your articles go viral, and the &#8220;Twitter Effect&#8221; is something that most bloggers want. In this article, we will share some of the most wanted and extremely useful twitter hacks and plugins that will allow you to maximize your benefits from twitter.</p>
<p>Note: These hacks are for all user levels. Some knowledge of PHP / HTML will be required for some of the hacks. We will try to provide alternative plugins for each hack that we share to make it easy for beginners.</p>
<h2>Display a Retweet Button with a Counter</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/killerhacks/retweet.gif" alt="Display a Retweet Button wit ha Counter" /></p>
<p>If you have visited an active blog, then you have seen a retweet button on their site. Majority of the time, it will be from a service known as Tweetmeme. </p>
<h3>Snippet</h3>
<p>One way to get this button on your site is by placing the following code in your <em>single.php</em> template (At a location where you want to put it).</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;<br />
tweetmeme_source = &#39;wpbeginner&#39;;<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js&quot;&gt; &lt;/script&gt;</p></blockquote>
<p>The above code will output a big button like you see on the left hand side of this post. Make sure that you change the source to your twitter account. It is essential that you do this because it will help you get more exposure.</p>
<p>If you do not like the big retweet button, you can display a compact twitter button, which you can see at the end of this post. Simply paste the following code:</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;script type=&#39;text/javascript&#39;&gt;<br />
tweetmeme_style = &quot;compact&quot;;<br />
tweetmeme_source = &#39;wpbeginner&#39;;<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js&quot;&gt; &lt;/script&gt;</p></blockquote>
<p>Note: Don&#8217;t forget to change the source from wpbeginner to your username in the above code.</p>
<h3>Plugin</h3>
<p>Tweetmeme also offers a plugin that you can <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweetmeme/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">download</a>. The plugin will allow you display these buttons within your posts. You will have an option to pick: </p>
<ul>
<li>The display size (compact or large)</li>
<li>Pick the Source of this tweet (Your Username)</li>
<li>Where you want to place the button in the post</li>
</ul>
<h2>Display Twitter Follower Count as Text</h2>
<p>There are users who absolutely hate buttons like Feedburner buttons or Twittercounter buttons. Are you one of them? Do you want to display your twitter count as text, so it blends in to your new custom design? Well then this hack is just for you.</p>
<h3>Snippet</h3>
<p>Paste the following code any where you want to display the count:</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;?php<br />
$tw = get_option(&quot;twitterfollowerscount&quot;);<br />
if ($tw[&#39;lastcheck&#39;] &lt; ( mktime() &#8211; 3600 ) )<br />
{<br />
$xml=file_get_contents(&#39;http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?screen_name=wpbeginner&#39;);<br />
if (preg_match(&#39;/followers_count&gt;(.*)&lt;/&#39;,$xml,$match)!=0) {<br />
$tw[&#39;count&#39;] = $match[1];<br />
}<br />
$tw[&#39;lastcheck&#39;] = mktime();<br />
update_option(&quot;twitterfollowerscount&quot;,$tw);<br />
}<br />
echo $tw[&#39;count&#39;];<br />
?&gt; </p></blockquote>
<p>Make sure to replace <strong>wpbeginner</strong> with your twitter name.</p>
<p>Explanation of this code: This code will open the XML file for the username that you specify. It will look for the node followers_count, and then it will display that count on your site. Best part about this code is that it will display cached results, so it will keep the load time to the minimum.</p>
<p>This code was written by <a href="http://www.rarst.net/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Rarst</a> (<a href="http://twitter.com/Rarst/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">@rarst</a>)</p>
<h3>Plugin</h3>
<p>For those users who do not feel comfortable modifying the theme files, you can use a plugin called &#8220;<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribers-text-counter/" target="_blank"><strong>Subscribers Text Counter</strong></a>&#8220;. This plugin will let you display the follower count in widgets, or on posts/pages. This plugin also utilizes the caching system, so it is a good solution.</p>
<h2>Display Your Recent Tweets</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpandtwitter/recenttweet.gif" alt="Display Your Recent Tweets" /></p>
<p>It is great to give a community sense to a site by displaying recent tweets in the sidebar or on a separate page. Many blogs often display their most recent tweets in their site. This section will show you various different ways to display your recent Tweets.</p>
<h3>Snippet</h3>
<p>There are numerous codes on the web that will let you display recent tweets from your twitter account without a plugin. Almost all of those codes have some shortfall. Below we will share one of the snippets that will allow you to display your recent tweets with caching.</p>
<p>Paste the codes below, wherever you like to display the recent tweets:</p>
<p><a href="http://wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpandtwitter/singletweet.txt">Download the Code File</a></p>
<p>You must change the username from &#8220;wpbeginner&#8221; to your username. You can find this towards the very end of this code where it reads <strong>parse_cache_feed(wpbeginner, 1)</strong>. The number in front represents the number of tweets that will be displayed. You can change the number to the amount that you like, but we recommend that you keep it to a minimum because this code is utilizing the Search API. </p>
<p><strong>Known Issues:</strong> This snippet is using the Search API, so if your account is removed from twitter search (ofcourse by twitter), then this snippet will not display any results. Also the search API only displays tweets that were posted within the last 7 days.</p>
<p>For those users who are flagged from the search by twitter, we recommend that you contact them and ask why that is the case. In the meantime, you may use a JavaScript solution that will display your tweets from your feed.</p>
<p>Place the following code in your <em>footer.php</em> right above &lt;/body&gt; tag.</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br />
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/wpbeginner.json?callback=twitterCallback2&amp;count=5&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</p></blockquote>
<p>Remember to change the username from wpbeginner to your username. Also you can change the count from 5 to whatever you like.</p>
<p>Then add the following HTML tags any where you want to display the recent tweets.</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;div id=&quot;twitter_div&quot;&gt;&lt;ul id=&quot;twitter_update_list&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</p></blockquote>
<p>You would need to edit the CSS file for proper styling.</p>
<p><strong>Known Issues:</strong> This plugin does not have caching, so the scripts will be loaded every time the page loads. </p>

<h3>Plugin</h3>
<p>If you are one of the users who do not want to modify their theme files, there is an alternative plugin that you can use.</p>
<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Alex King&#8217;s Twitter Tool</a></p>
<p>This plugin will let you display recent tweets from your account. It will store your tweets in the database to limit the API queries. Tweets are archived every 10 minutes.</p>
<p>Note: there are way too many plugins that do this, to list them all here.</p>
<h2>Display Recent Tweets from Multiple Accounts</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpandtwitter/multiusertweet.gif" alt="Display Recent Tweets from Multiple Accounts" /></p>
<p>Display recent tweets from Multiple accounts come can be useful to increase community interaction when you have a multi-author blog. You can spend hours on the web trying to find a good solution, but below are two best solutions that we found.</p>
<h4><a href="http://tweet.seaofclouds.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tweet!</a></h4>
<p>Tweet is an unobtrusive JavaScript plugin for jQuery that lets you put twitter on your website. This is a great snippet that loads the tweets using JSON. For the download and directions, you should visit the <a href="http://tweet.seaofclouds.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">official page</a>.</p>
<p>Known Issues: This script utilizes the Search API which has it&#8217;s limits. Your search query has a character limit set to 140 characters. So in short, you will be able to get a maximum of 6 &#8211; 8 users depending on the length of their username.</p>
<h4><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweet-blender/" target="_blank">Tweet Blender</a></h4>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpandtwitter/tweetblender.gif" alt="Tweet Blender Screenshot" /></p>
<p>Tweet Blender plugin allows you to display multiple user&#8217;s tweet. This plugin actually displays the tweets from user&#8217;s feeds, so it does not rely on the Search API. But the more names you put, the longer it will take to load.</p>
<p><strong>Known Issues:</strong> None that we know of.</p>
<h2>Integrate Twitter Conversations About Your Posts</h2>
<p>People are talking about your posts, and their convesation is not limited to the comments in your post. A lot of that conversation is happening on Twitter. Why not bring this conversation right back to your blog? </p>
<p><a href="http://yoast.com/wordpress/tweetbacks/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tweetback</a> plugin imports those tweets about your posts as comments. You can display them in between the other comments on your blog, or display them separately.</p>
<p>You can also add widgets to your site that shows the &#8220;Most Tweeted Posts&#8221; and &#8220;Recently Tweeted Posts&#8221; with the use of a plugin called <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweet-stats/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tweet Stats </a>. You must have the plugin (<a href="http://yoast.com/wordpress/tweetbacks/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tweetback</a> that we mentioned above in order for this plugin to work).</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpandtwitter/tweetstat.gif" alt="Tweet Stat Widget Screenshot" /></p>
<h2>Take your Blog communication to Twitter</h2>
<p>Above we showed you how you can integrate twitter conversations about your blog posts into your comments. In this trick, you will give the user an ability to post the comment on your site, and then also have their conversation on twitter. </p>
<h4><a href="http://www.jonbishop.com/downloads/wordpress-plugins/commentwitter-plugin-page/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Commentwitter</a></h4>
<p>This plugin will add a twitter login area below the comments, so users have an option to post their comment to twitter.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpandtwitter/commentwitter.gif" alt="Post blog comments to Twitter" /></p>
<h2>Display a Special Welcome Message for Your Twitter Users</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/wpbeginner" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpandtwitter/welcomemessage.gif" alt="Special Welcome Message for Your Twitter Users" /></a></p>
<p>There are some sites that display a special welcome message to their twitter users. This increase their chances of getting more followers and more retweets for that post.</p>
<p>Simply place the following code in your <em>single.php</em> file where you want the welcome message to be displayed.</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;?php<br />
if (strpos(&quot;twitter.com&quot;,$_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER])==0) {<br />
    echo &quot;Welcome, Twitter User! If you enjoy this post, don&#39;t hesitate to retweet it to your followers&quot;;<br />
}<br />
?&gt;</p></blockquote>
<h2>Display Your Twitter Friends on Your Site</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpandtwitter/twitterfriends.gif" alt="Display Your Twitter Friends" /></p>
<p>You have seen the Facebook Fan page widget, Google Connect widget, and Mybloglog widget. All three of these display the friends/fans pictures. You can do that with twitter as well.</p>
<h4><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-friends-widget/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Twitter Friends Widget</a></h4>
<p>This plugin displays your Twitter friends/followers in your sidebar in the same way that they appear on your Twitter homepage.</p>
<h2>Twitter Profile Field in Comments</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/mostwanted/twittercomment.gif" alt="Twitter Field in Comments" /></p>
<p>Top tech sites are already doing this. If you go to Mashable or Tech Crunch, then you will see that they have an additional field below the Website URL for Twitter profile. There is a plugin that will let you do that fairly easily.</p>
<h4><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitterlink-comments/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Twitter Link Comments</a></h4>
<p>This plugin will add an extra field to your comment form so a user can add their Twitter username. A user configured &#8216;follow me&#8217; link is then displayed along with their details on all their comments. The extra field and &#8216;follow me&#8217; link can be configured using the settings page without ever needing to modify any template files. (unless you want to)</p>
<p>While these are some of the Most Wanted Twitter Hacks and Plugins, this list is definitely not the end of what you can do with twitter and WordPress. Infact there are 662 Results in the WordPress Plugin Directory when one runs the query for <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=twitter&#038;sort=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a>. There is also a list that we used as our source <a href="http://skyje.com/2009/05/107-wordpress-twitter-plugins/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">107 Twitter Plugins for WordPress</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were visiting one of our favorite sites (<a href="http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2010/02/automated-take-screenshots-website-free/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Binary Moon</a>) and noticed this extremely cool service that WordPress has. Most people do not even know that WordPress has an option which lets you take screenshots of any website. </p>
<p>Ben at Binary Moon noticed that WordPress was using this feature of their <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/commercial/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Commercial Themes Page</a>. He decided to contact Matt Mullenweg and asked his permission to implement this feature on his site. Then he kindly wrote a plugin that can be used by any WordPress user to implement this feature on their site. </p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> </p>
<blockquote><p>http://s.wordpress.com/mshots/v1/http%3A%2F%2Fwpbeginner.com%2F?w=520</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://s.wordpress.com/mshots/v1/http%3A%2F%2Fwpbeginner.com%2F?w=520" alt="WPBeginner's Automated Screenshot from WordPress" /></p>
<p>You can generate a dynamic screenshot for each site and specify the width as well. </p>
<p>Ben is using this on his site called <a href="http://wpvote.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">WP Vote</a>. We think this concept would be great for a gallery type site. </p>
<h4><a href="http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/projects/bm-shots-automated-screenshots-website/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Download BM Shots Plugin</a></h4>
<p>Usage is explained on the plugin page above, but if you have any further questions feel free to ask it here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/">WP Super Cache</a> is one of the must have plugins for every WordPress site. A lot of our users asked us to do a tutorial that shows how to setup WP Super Cache plugin step by step. Because we have this plugin included in our <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/recommended-plugins-for-wordpress/">Recommended WordPress Plugins</a> list, we think that it is necessary for us to show everyone how to take advantage of this extremely useful plugin. </p>
<p>This plugin makes a copy of your web page on the server and by doing so it speeds up page load time and reduces the resource consumption. It is essential that you have this plugin just incase if your site hits the Front Page of a social media network such as digg or stumbleupon, without this plugin, your server will most likely crash.</p>
<h4>What we will be doing in this tutorial?</h4>
<p>In this tutorial, we will show you how to install WP Super Cache Plugin. Then we will walk you through the process of setting it up which will include updating the .htaccess files and selecting the right settings. Many beginners are afraid to install this plugin because it is a some what complicated setup. But we assure you that after reading this guide, you will feel very comfortable installing this plugin on more than one site.</p>
<h4>1. Installing WP Super Cache</h4>
<p>We will use the built-in plugin installer to install the plugin. So you should login to your WP-Admin Panel. Click on the Plugin Tabs &raquo; Add New. Then type the plugin name &#8220;WP Super Cache&#8221;.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpsupercache/searchwpsupercache.gif" alt="Search for WP Super Cache" /></p>
<p>You will see the results. It will most likely be the first plugin on the list. It is created by Donncha O Caoimh. Click on the Install link. You will see a screen like below. Click on Install Plugin and then Activate the Plugin.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpsupercache/installnow.gif" alt="Install WP Super Cache" /></p>
<h4>2. Setup Permalinks</h4>
<p>A custom url or permalink structure is required for this plugin to work correctly. We recommend that you change your permalinks anyways to make it more SEO Friendly. Follow our tutorial &#8211; <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/seo-friendly-url-structure-for-wordpress/">SEO Friendly URL Structure for WordPress</a>.</p>
<h4>3. Turn WP Super Cache On</h4>
<p>You will need to visit Settings &raquo; WP Super Cache page, and turn it on.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpsupercache/turnon.gif" alt="Enable WP Super Cache" /></p>
<h4>4. Update .htaccess</h4>
<p>After you turn WP Super Cache on as shown in Step 3, you need to scroll down on the WP Super Cache option page screen until you see the Mod Rewrite Rules Section. It looks like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpsupercache/modrewrite.gif" alt="Enable WP Super Cache" /></p>
<p>Then scroll down a little bit more and click on Update Now</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogpostsimages/wpsupercache/updatemodrewrite.gif" alt="Enable WP Super Cache" /></p>
<p>You will be able to update this only if your web host has correct folder/file permissions setup. If you are using any of <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/choosing-the-best-web-host-for-wordpress/">our recommended web hosts for WordPress</a>, then you should be able to do this without any problem.</p>
<p>Once you have finished all these 4 steps, WP Super Cache is setup completely for your site. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had a guest post on your blog? How do you go about giving the author full credit? We have seen many sites where they add an author profile box either above the post or below the post. But even with the guest author box, the author name field would still show the site author. Some bloggers create entire new author profiles for their guest authors in order to display the right name. We think that it is pointless to create extra user profiles if you know that this guest author will only post once.</p>
<p>The trick we are sharing in this article will allow you to show guest author&#8217;s name by simply entering a custom field in your post.</p>
<p>Open your <em>functions.php</em> file and paste the codes below:</p>
<blockquote><p>add_filter( &#39;the_author&#39;, &#39;guest_author_name&#39; );<br />
add_filter( &#39;get_the_author_display_name&#39;, &#39;guest_author_name&#39; );</p>
<p>function guest_author_name( $name ) {<br />
global $post;</p>
<p>$author = get_post_meta( $post-&gt;ID, &#39;guest-author&#39;, true );</p>
<p>if ( $author )<br />
$name = $author;</p>
<p>return $name;<br />
}</p></blockquote>
<p>Now every time that you are posting a guest post, just make sure that you add a custom field called <strong>guest-author</strong> and it will replace the author&#8217;s name with the text that you put in that custom field. </p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/blogposts/guest-author.gif" alt="Rewrite Guest Author's Name using Custom Fields in WordPress" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Syed Balkhi and Amanda Roberts of WPBeginner attended <a href="http://www.wordcampmia.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">WordCamp Miami</a> this past weekend on February 20th. After sitting through Jane Well&#8217;s presentation and talking with her after her speech, we have decided to share with the WPBeginner community what is coming in WordPress 3.0 in terms of features.</p>
<p>WordPress 3.0 is projected to be released on May 1st, the same day as <a href="http://2010.sf.wordcamp.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">WordCamp San Francisco</a>. Feature freeze is pushed to March 1st, 2010 at which point there will not be any new feature requests taken (Only Bug Fixes).</p>
<h3>WordPress 3.0 Features</h3>
<p>As we mentioned that Feature freeze is on March 1st, therefore this list will contain only major features that we are fairly certain will make into WordPress Version 3.0.</p>
<h4>Merge of WordPress MU + WordPress.org</h4>
<p>For those of you who do not know what WordPress MU is, you do not need to worry at all. WordPress MU is a similar platform to WordPress except it allows users to run multiple sites under one installation. WordPress.com is running on WordPress MU code base. Matt Mullenweg announced the merge news during WordCamp San Francisco 2009. After a year of hard work, Automattic staff and WordPress core developers finally did it. </p>
<p><strong>What does this mean for you?</strong> </p>
<p>You can now have multiple sites in one installation. For example we can have <em>showcase.wpbeginner.com</em> with one WordPress installation if we want. What are the possible outcomes? If you have one site now, and you do not want to add more sites later that is perfectly OK. Nothing will change for you. If you are running on WordPress MU, after the upgrade your sites will remain the same. Nothing will change for you.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that nothing will change if you don&#8217;t want it to change. This feature is just an add-on that will help users who want to have multiple sites. It will also help WordPress MU users because this will allow them to use all WordPress.org plugins without hacking them.</p>
<p><strong>Domain Mapping</strong> &#8211; If you are a WordPress MU user, or if you have used WordPress.com in the past, you know that there is a way to have top level domains for your network sites. WordPress.com allows users to upgrade their subdomains to a custom domain. This feature will NOT be included in the core. You can still use the plugin to make it work.</p>
<p><strong>Cross Network Search</strong> &#8211; If you do decide to have numerous sites under one install, cross network search is not a built-in feature. It may become a core feature in the future, but in WordPress 3.0 this will not be possible. Although you can still use the plugin to make it work.</p>
<p><strong>Preview</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp3-0/networksettings.gif" alt="WordPress 3.0 Screenshot" /></p>
<h4>Custom Post Types</h4>
<p>There was a big hype about this feature when WordPress 2.9 was being released. Due to some technical difficulties, this feature did not make it in. Well the wait is over because it will be included in WordPress 3.0. Combining Post Types and Taxonomies will make WordPress a much more robust CMS option. This feature will allow you to have different type of posts for example Portfolio listings, Products, and then Normal posts.</p>
<p>Note: This feature is not to replace the use of categories. You should still use categories. This feature will allow a different way of sorting/display and enable other CMS options in WordPress.</p>
<p>Preview: <a href="http://wpengineer.com/impressions-of-custom-post-type/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">First Impression of WordPress Post Types by Frank of WPEngineer</a></p>
<h4>Better Navigation Menus</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.woothemes.com/2010/01/the-awesome-custom-woo-navigation/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Custom Woo Navigation</a> will be included to the core in this release in order to allow for better menu management. This menu system has the drag and drop ease of the widget management screen, it could combine Pages, Categories, and Links. It also allows the ability of re-ordering, along with submenus, and hiding specific Pages or Categories from the menu altogether.</p>
<p><strong>Preview:</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp3-0/woomenu.gif" alt="WordPress 3.0 Woo Menu" /></p>
<p>This will be a great addition to the WordPress core and it will be very helpful for users. Thank you Woo Staff for contributing this system to the core.</p>
<h4>New Default Theme 2010</h4>
<p>Bye Bye Kubrick Theme. Welcome 2010. WordPress 3.0 will come with a new default theme known as 2010. From this year on, the goal is to have a new theme for every year. Wondering what the new 2010 theme would look like?</p>
<p><a href="http://2010dev.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp3-0/2010.gif" alt="WordPress 3.0 - 2010 Theme" /></a></p>
<p>You can check out the live version of this theme by clicking on the image above.</p>
<p>The theme has Custom header, Custom Background, Clean Design, Multiple Widget Areas, Cascading Menus and a lot more.</p>
<h4>Custom Background Support</h4>
<p>Support for custom background can be called by adding this line in your <em>functions.php</em>:</p>
<blockquote><p>add_custom_background();</p></blockquote>
<p>Once you add that code, you will see a screen in your admin panel that will let you upload a custom background image which will replace the default grey background. It will only work in this theme and other themes that support this feature.</p>
<h4>Author Specific Templates</h4>
<p>We know that in WordPress 2.9 there was an option added which allowed designers to create category templates using the slug fore example category-slug.php. In WordPress 3.0, you can create specific templates for each author. The function <strong>get_author_template();</strong> has been expanded in wp-includes/theme.php. </p>
<p>In WordPress 3.0, you would be able to name files like <strong>author-syed.php</strong>.</p>
<h4>Ability to Choose Username When Installing WordPress</h4>
<p>As of now, WordPress automatically assigns the first user with the username &#8220;admin&#8221;. If you have read our <a href="http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/11-vital-tips-and-hacks-to-protect-your-wordpress-admin-area/">13 vital tips to protect WordPress Admin Area</a>, or sat through any of <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/wpbeginner">Syed&#8217;s Security Presentations</a>, you would know the importance of this feature. Now the hackers cannot guess your username because it will no longer be &#8220;admin&#8221;. Before those who did not change their default username were helping the hackers by giving them half the answer.</p>
<h4>Welcome Guide in Every Installation</h4>
<p>In the past, WordPress always lacked something which was very crucial. A welcome guide which would help users get familiar with using WordPress. Many users complained regarding this issue, so in WordPress 3.0 there will be a Welcome Guide to guide new users. </p>
<h4>Canonical Plugins</h4>
<p>Have you used a plugin that you loved, and the author discontinued providing support. No bug fixes, no upgrades, and the plugin initially breaks in newer versions. This is a common issue therefore with WordPress 3.0 there is a mission that Jane Wells is carrying which is to unite the plugin authors and come up with canonical plugins. Canonical plugins are developed by a community instead of one developer, so if one person steps down, the plugin does not die.</p>
<p>Lets hope this idea works because it will be great for the community.</p>
