While this is all well and good, it can be a bit of a nuisance especially if you’re using a responsive website design because renders your uploaded image un-resizable which kind of defeats the idea of a responsive web page.

To address this, Damien Oh‘s nifty WordPress trick teaches you how to prevent the image’s height and width attribute from being inserted into the tag the next time you use the WP image uploader. Get his TUTORIAL now.

The WP-DBManager, created by Lester “GamerZ” Chan, is a plugin for WordPress that lets you backup, optimize, repair, restore and delete backup database. This is a lifesaver for all users because it automatically optimizes your database once you have it setup. No more worries if you’re unable to do the backup if you’re too busy, because the plugin will do the job for you.

Click on the image to download the zip file.

Installation:

1. Open the folder wp-content/plugins
2. Put : Folder: wp-dbmanager
3. Activate wp-DBManager plugin
4. Rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess file in Folder: wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager
5. Script will create folder automatically (backup-db) in the wp-content folder if it is writable. If it’s not created, create it and CHMOD it to 777
6. Open Folder: wp-content/backup-db
7. Move .htaccess file from Folder: wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to Folder: wp-content/backup-db
8. Go to Admin > Database > DB Options to configure database options

OR

Download the plugin, then using the WP Admin Panel, upload it directly, and activate.

Note: Since security is a very important issue among users, it’s highly recommended to upgrade the plugin immediately once a new version is released. Not upgrading the plugin makes it possible for anyone to get full access to the whole database where your WordPress is installed and could be exploited – a scenario which you want to avoid.

This is great if you intend to include the title of a book or a song in your post title, like in Ken’s example. Aside from italicizing, Ken’s quick tutorial also shows you a couple more tricks on how to customize or alter the appearance of your post titles. Get the tutorial HERE.

Click on the image to download the file.

Note: PHP5 is required since version 2.70

Install:

In installing it, you can do it automatically from the WordPress admin or manually:

1. After downloading the file on the link provided, unzip it and put wp-pagenavi folder in /wp-content/plugins/ folder
2. Activate it from the Plugins menu

Find calls to next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link() in your theme and replace them.

Below is the code that looks like that one in the Twentyten theme:

<div><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span>&larr;</span> Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>

<div><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span>&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>

Change them to this:

 <?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>


Look for this if it’s for mutlipart pages:

 <?php wp_link_pages( ... ); ?>

Change it with this:

<?php wp_pagenavi( array( 'type' => 'multipart' ) ); ?>

To configure, go to WP-Admin  > Settings > PageNavi

In modifying its CSS style, copy pagenavi-css.css file from the plugin directory to your theme’s directory then do the changes there so you will not lose the mods when you update it. Another way is by unchecking ‘Use pagenavi.css?’ option from settings page then directly adding styles to your theme’s style.css file.

Unlike most of the other plugins, the code for this one is based on PHP, and not Javascript/jQuery. This plugin was shared by Alexander Belyaev at snipplr.com. This is great to have especially if you’re running a blog site with multiple authors. You can find it HERE.

You may find his methods quite handy if you ever encounter any one of these following scenarios:

• You get a blank screen when you log into your WP Admin after installing a plugin.
• You get an error after editing some PHP code from the plugin or theme editor, which then prevents you from accessing the WP Admin.
• You installed a WordPress security plugin that locked you out of WP Admin.

Conversations via comments between the website owner and site visitors is a great way to build rapport.  The Reply Me Plugin for WordPress, created by photozero, does exactly that – it sends back an automatic email notification to anyone who leaves a comment when someone comments as a direct response to them. This way, subscribing to comments is unnecessary plus you can customize the content on what you send.

You can download the file HERE.

Installation:

1. Upload /replyme/ to /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate plugin through WordPress Plugins menu.
3. Go to Settings > ReplyMe to configure.

You can check it out on the demo here.

In Michael’s tutorial, you’ll be using AJAX to create the plugin which will have the following features:

• Multiple clicks – First clicks will load page 2?s posts, second will load page 3 etc.)
• Check for posts first – If there are no more posts that can be loaded, we’ll tell the user.
• Degrade gracefully – If a visitor doesn’t use JavaScript, we won’t change the site at all.

Below is a snippet taken from the javascript that makes the AJAX call:

$('.pbd-alp-placeholder-'+ pageNum).load(nextLink + ' .post',

function() {

//   Update page number and nextLink.

pageNum++;

nextLink   = nextLink.replace(/\/page\/[0-9]?/, '/page/'+ pageNum);

//   Add a new placeholder, for when user clicks again.

$('#pbd-alp-load-posts')

.before('<div  ></div>')

//   Update the button message.

if(pageNum   <= max) {

$('#pbd-alp-load-posts   a').text('Load More Posts');

}   else {

$('#pbd-alp-load-posts   a').text('No more posts to load.');

}

}

);

On that note, if you want to see the rest of the code, you can download the completed files as a plugin. All you have to do is upload them in to your WordPress directory and activate it. But if you want to know more about the plugin’s nuts and bolts, you can check out Michael’s tutorial by clicking here.

<?php endwhile; ?></ul>

You can increase or decrease the number of posts to be displayed as you like, and don’t forget to change the category id accordingly (both highlighted in red).
