Looking for custom WordPress development? Feel free to contact me with any functionality that you would like implemented in your WordPress installation.
So I have been working on a project that has become my main focus. I am really proud to be the developer for www.communityfunded.com. We currently have a splash page up that allows the public to register as a user.
Here is a brief summary of the project:
Community Funded will connect people, ideas and resources in historic new ways, empowering our communities and promoting “grass-roots economic recovery.” Anything’s possible when it’s Community Funded.

Here is a quick and dirty way to keep your users out of the WP-ADMIN area. I have not found a good way to redirect a user from the wp-login.php page to a custom page and not profile.php. (anyone knows, please let me know : > ). I needed this as i had a front end system for users to manage their profiles. That part needed to look like the regular theme and not like the admin area.
Here is some handy code that allows you to upload image(s) from a form on the front end of your WordPress site and have it become attached to a specific post. There is optional code that allows you to make the post the featured image (post thumbnail) as well.
So you have a ton of categories and there are a lot of child categories at the list and the post editor has become unruly? In order to change a posts’ category or to add it to a new one the list is unmanageable. Here is a jQuery code snippet that you can use to make the categories collapsable. It removes the label functionality. You cannot click on the name to select the item’s checkbox, but it now allows you to click on the name to expand the categories.
This simple image class will allow you to get an image from your server to dynamically resize it and center it top/bottom and left/right in a square box. If you have some images that are all good kb size but are a bit random in their dimensions, you can use this class to make them fit dynamically in a box. It will make images that are larger than the bounds of the box smaller, but will not adjust the size of images that are smaller than then bounds. That would make them blurry, so instead it just makes them centered in the box.
I am using this in a scenario where there are images that have been uploaded to the server that are very small 200×200 and rather large 1000×1200. The size of my display box in this example is 400×400.
Introducing a new tool! This site lets you create a snippet that you can embed or give to someone else to display your blog articles outside of your site. I built this as there are some hosted shopping cart solutions where you cannot run PHP, and you cannot style elements in an iFrame not from your own site. By creating WordPressFeeder.com, I got around both of these issues. The generated code creates stylable elements on your external site.
Here is a compact way to replicate jQuery UI tabs without the UI. I wrote this code to account for unlimited tabs and to create dynamic “selected” class on the clicked item and removes the class when you click on another tab. This lends itself to easier styling of the tabs as well.
So when WordPress introduced the wp_nav_menu() function, it made it easier to create navigation menus for the average user. You can create dropdown navigation simply moving the items around in the admin -> appearance -> menu section of your dashboard. This tutorial requires jQuery, but is not a jQuery plugin.
