WordPress custom post type 404 with “pretty” permalinks

Here’s the scenario, you’re working locally (or maybe you’re not), all your work is ready to be pushed to a live server (or maybe it’s already there). Regardless, you’re done coding and all there is left to do is configure your permalinks and tell google you’re ready for the big stage. You enter you permalink […]

Finding Social Icons

If you are anything like me, you find yourself looking for “free” icons you can use “as is” or manipulate in Photoshop, Illustrator (or whatever image editor you use) to save yourself the time from creating them from scratch. Google and Google images will turn up oodles, but it’s sometimes difficult to sift through all the data. […]

query_posts breaks pagination

Everyone once in a while I’ll find myself amidst some sort of code riddle. More often then not it’s due to a plugin conflict, a CSS selector gone rogue or in most cases some typo where I’m missing a closing bracket, parenthesis or something like that. Although sometimes totally maddening, it’s generally pretty easy to […]

XML PARSING ERROR:

Ever got this message before and wondered WTF is going on? I did. Was working on a site on specified development URL only my client had access to. Implemented RSSfeeds for all the blog categories with the following in WordPress: [php] wp_list_categories(‘feed_image=http://www.yoururl.com/wp-content/themes/simplo/images/feed.png&feed=XML Feed&optioncount=1&children=0’);?>[/php] Once approved, I copied it over to their live site. Only to be […]

Custom buddypress avatars

I’ve got a project over at www.mtbikenow.com that is powered by the buddypress framework. While technically a plugin developed for WordPress, it’s really a whole lot more robust than your typical plugin. That being said, default avatars (from any web application) are high on the list of bad site aesthetics. Really makes things look unfinished […]

There are a number of different way to do this. I’m sure there are plenty of folks more versed in PHP programming than I out there that could give you seven ways from Sunday  to accomplish this. I’m a designer, not a programmer.  Here’s my WordPress solution. I wanted my latest blog post to show […]

New Bike Stoke

I’m having a one of a kind, Justin W. Hall bike made. My old single speed gave up the ghost a number of months ago and it’s been a bit of a bummer not having it around. Being back on the squish of the full suspension bike with some added gears has been fun and […]

Firefox 4.0 Beta (4.0b10) Review

That’s 4.0 beta 10 to be exact. Mozzilla has been steadily  releasing beta versions of their very popular (and now highly anticipated) Firefox browser. Fitting the stereotype of a tech geek, I had to see what all the fuss was about. I do have to admit, while I have had a version of Firefox in […]
