WordPress template hierarchy

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Alex Wells

This resource is a wordpress template diagram – it lets you work out which theme template file is being used for each page within a wordpress website and also helps when adding new theme files as you can work out which one you need for which type of page.

Chip Bennett is currently in the middle of creating an updated version of the template hierarchy diagram which shows the structure of how a page is displayed. The new diagram is a bit more detailed than the old one. These diagrams are an excellent way to learn about Template Tags in WordPress as well as visually see the process for determining which page is displayed.

PHP MyAdmin for wordpress plugin

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Alex Wells

i had to deal with spam on a WordPress blog today, the problem was all of the comments had been approved so i needed to mass unaprove them all. this is possible via the MySQL database that wordpress runs from with this command

[quote]UPDATE wp_comments SET comment_approved=’0′ WHERE comment_approved=’1′[/quote]

however without this handy plugin which lets you use PHP MyAdmin from within wordpress i would not have been able to connect to the database. This useful script deserves a bookmark.
