Code For Automatic Copyright Year Change In Wordpress Theme Footer

By Dave on January 3, 2010

This time of year one task that some of us might have to do is to change the year on our Copyright notice in the footer of our Wordpress Theme. Some themes will already have this code installed, especially premium themes that you will have had to pay for.

But in many cases, when using a free theme or older Wordpress theme you may find that the code to do this is not included and  that you have to manually change the year yourself.

Don’t Do It Manually - Make It Automatic!

eg: HOW TO CHANGE 2009 TO 2010 AUTOMATICALLY

It’s easy to do but if you have several blogs or Wordpress sites it’s a lot better if your code does the Copyright year change for you automatically.

Changing the year manually just requires using the Wordpress Theme editor in the admin dashboard to change the code by replacing the previous year value with the current year value.

How To Make A Wordpress Page Your Home Page And Keep The Blog Posts

By Dave on December 30, 2009

By default when you first install Wordpress and add your chosen theme you will have a Home Page that displays your  most recent Blog Posts. This is dynamic and changes every time to display new posts as you add them.

You can control how many posts are shown by the changing the “Blog pages show at most” value in the Reading Settings in your Wordpress admin dashboard. In addition if you don’t want to show full posts you can add the More tag in each post from within the post editor (visual or html) to control how much of each post is displayed.

What do you do?

How To Change Your Home Page In Wordpress!

Well fortunately this is quite simple to change from Wordpress admin, but may not be obvious until you try it out for yourself. You have the facility to set a different page that you create as the home page for your Wordpress site or blog.

In addition you can also set another page, which you also create, as the Blog page of  your website, where all your blog posts will be displayed, just as they were originally on the home page.

So let’s get to it!

By Dave on December 20, 2009

wordpress29WordPress 2.9 is here!

Wordpress has been updated again!

As soon as you think you have the latest version along comes another one. And it’s not just a bug fix this time as it has some major new features, in fact some that have been a long time coming…

WordPress version 2.9 “Carmen” was released earlier today and is named in honor of amazing jazz vocalist Carmen McRae.

As is now common practice with new Wordpress releases you can now upgrade easily right from within your Wordpress Admin Dashboard just by going to Tools and then click on Upgrade. And of course you can still do the upgrade the “old-fashioned” manual way by downloading Wordpress 2.9 from the WordPress.org website.

As the version number suggests (2.9) this is a major release of Wordpress and because of this the guys at wordpress.org have created a VIDEO featuring the new stuff so you can see what the new version does without actually having to read all about it!
