How Easy is it for Your Customers to Contact You...

Recently I came across another wordpress plugin that makes it very easy for a visitor to leave you a spoken comment, or they can ask you a question. All they need is a computer with a microphone, they then click on the link on the right hand side of your site to record a message in the browser up to 10 minutes in length.

What Is SEO And What Is Coincidence?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 05:25:00 +0000

I haven’t posted much lately. Mostly that is down to a new role I have as a Web Developer now. As per usual I am not going to give away the name, but it is a fairly large media company here in NZ. Obviously it is working within their digital department, “digitizing” what they currently have in print.

I have only worked there just over a week, and already I see things that still astonish me about SEO in a real world sense. Generally I like to think that all developers that code for the web should have a good grasp of SEO technologies. And hopefully keep up to date with the changes that search engines implement. It isn’t always the case, but most people atleast have a good understanding of what will and won’t rank.

Interestingly enough I was talking to someone on my team about SEO. His actual job title is “SEO Developer”. As I got talking, I could tell that he seemed to be sticking by the book. And any sort of “contentious” issue that would get debated to no end at a SEO conference was a simply open and close case for him.

Things such as nofollow links and meta tags were an absolute 100% no impact on ranking issue for him. To me, especially nofollow links, I have a believe that they do work. Blog Comments while devalued, still seem to give me some sort of boost in the rankings. Whether that is because of the rank, or just because my website is “out there” is something that I could argue all day long. We talked about it for a while, and all I tried to get across was that nothing in SEO is a yes or no answer. Everything is shrouded in mystery and it is only with testing for yourself can you see what works and what doesn’t.

Even worse, he told me that <strong> and <em> tags around your keyword had absolutely no effect on SEO rankings. Once again maybe something that could be argued either way, but I think it is probably up there with things that you should do anyway. You can check out here for SEOMoz talking about different ranking factors : http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors#ranking-factors

Anyway, I am drifting off my original point here. The SEO Developer also mentioned that our department also hired an external SEO company to work on our sites. After asking them what they did, it seemed they made several onpage SEO enhancements. e.g. Keyword in title tag, keyword in H1 tag. The usual on-page SEO stuff. I questioned about inbound links and what they were doing offsite SEO wise. The other guys in my team didn’t 100% know the answer, but said that before we hired them, we weren’t ranking at all, and now we were.

ooookkaaayyy

Let me just point out something here. The website in question is one of the largest, (probably top 2) in it’s industry. There are 173k links pointing to this site, of which 158k are pointing to the homepage. The homepage is a PR5 page. However before the SEO company was hired, the keywords they “wanted” to rank for were not in the title or H1 tag at all. This alone would (in my eyes) make them very slim chance of making it to the front page for this particular keyword.

So the SEO company changes the H1 and title tag to be the exact keyword. And we start ranking. But is that an example of how a SEO company can get us ranking? Even though the website itself had over 173 thousand links pointing to it before they even got going.

That is what you call money for nothing kids.

O and just FYI. The SEO company itself does not rank for it’s title keywords within Google.com or Google.co.nz. If that isn’t a good indication of who is ranking us, then I don’t know what is.

Share and Enjoy:

Mix keyword research with seo and great content and you should get ranked! Just keep it simple.

Sometimes Wordpress is perfect for what you want except you do not need Comments! Yes you can manually disable them, and then you are backwards and forwards editing because you forgot to turn them off. Now you can have a plugin and have them removed site wide.

4 Ways to Loop with WordPress

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 12 May 2011 06:52:00 +0000

At the heart of the WordPress theme template is the venerable WordPress loop. When you’re looking at your index.php file, for example, the loop is the part that typically begins with if(have_posts()) and contains all the tags and markup used to generate the page. The default loop works perfectly well for most single-loop themes, but for more advanced designs with stuff like multiple and custom loops, more looping power is needed. Fortunately, WordPress provides plenty of flexibility with four ways to loop:

Default Loop

Loop with query_posts()

Loop with WP_Query()

Loop with get_posts()

Each of these looping methods is useful in a variety of situations. They share a lot of the same underlying functionality, and the query parameters are essentially the same. Collectively, these four techniques enable simple loops, multiple loops, and custom loops in your WordPress theme template. A good place to find a default loop, for example, is in your theme’s index.php file. Its purpose is to loop through the posts stored in the database and echo their contents to the browser. Using WordPress’ template tags, it’s easy to display post titles, content, meta info, and much more. That said, let’s examine the four ways to loop with WordPress.

The Default Loop

The default WordPress loop looks something like this:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>  <div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <h1></h1> <?php the_content(); ?> </div>  <?php endwhile; ?>  <div class="navigation"> <div class="next-posts"><?php next_posts_link(); ?></div> <div class="prev-posts"><?php previous_posts_link(); ?></div> </div>  <?php else : ?>  <div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <h1>Not Found</h1> </div>  <?php endif; ?>
So what makes it “default”? Mostly because it uses the default query to loop through post content, making it the loop used like 99% of the time for most themes. It tells WordPress to loop through posts and display the information according to context, and as called by the various template tags (the_title, the_content, et al). There are tags available for just about any type of data stored in the database.

Based on the query that is sent, the default loop will display a certain number of posts from a certain category from a certain date, and so on. For example, the number of posts displayed in the first part of the loop is specified in the WP Admin. So if someone requests the second page of your “Awesome” category, that information is sent via the query, along with the number of posts, theme template file, and so on.

So the default loop is perfect if you’re happy with the query that is sent, but it is also possible to customize the query and generate an entirely different set of posts.

Loop with query_posts()

The query_posts function enables us to modify the query and display our desired results. We can either override the entire query or keep it around and just change a few parameters. Here’s an example where query_posts is called before the default loop to exclude a specific category:
<?php global $query_string; // required $posts = query_posts($query_string.'&cat=-9'); // exclude category 9  <?php // DEFAULT LOOP GOES HERE ?>  <?php wp_reset_query(); // reset the query ?>
Say you have a default loop in your index.php theme template, but you want to change the number of posts, exclude two categories, and display the results in ascending order. Easy. Just add some query_posts action before the default loop and wp_reset_query immediately after, like this:
<?php global $query_string; // required $posts = query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=3&cat=-6,-9&order=ASC');  <?php // DEFAULT LOOP GOES HERE ?>  <?php wp_reset_query(); // reset the query ?>
Here we are keeping the original query around and just overriding a few parameters. There are many parameters available, so customizing any default loop is accomplished quite easily. If we wanted to completely override the original query, we would replace the second line with something like this:

$posts = query_posts('posts_per_page=3&cat=-6,-9&order=ASC');

Notice here that we’ve removed the $query_string from the query_posts parameters. This essentially erases the default query and replaces it with one that contains only those variables included in query_posts. This means no paging information will be available, so remove the original query only if you know what you’re doing.

When to use? Use query_posts to modify the type of posts that are returned for a single loop. It’s perfect for limiting the number of posts, excluding posts from a certain category or tag, and so on. If more than one loop is required, multiple query_posts loops could work, but there is a much better way to do it using WP_Query.

Loop with WP_Query()

For complete control over the customization of any number of loops, WP_Query is the way to go. When used to modify a default loop, it looks similar to query_posts. For example, let’s exclude a specific category using WP_Query:
<?php $custom_query = new WP_Query('cat=-9'); // exclude category 9 while($custom_query->have_posts()) : $custom_query->the_post(); ?>  <div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <h1></h1> <?php the_content(); ?> </div>  <?php endwhile; ?> <?php wp_reset_postdata(); // reset the query ?>
It also accepts the same parameters as query_posts, so modifying stuff like number of posts, included/excluded categories, and post order looks quite familiar. As seen in the following examples, WP_Query makes it easy to customize the loop by simply changing the parameter:
$custom_query = new WP_Query('cat=-7,-8,-9'); // exclude any categories $custom_query = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=3'); // limit number of posts $custom_query = new WP_Query('order=ASC'); // reverse the post order
As expected, we can combine parameters with WP_Query using the same syntax as both query_posts and get_posts. Here’s the equivalent of our query_posts example:

$custom_query = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=3&cat=-6,-9&order=ASC');

Notice, however, that with WP_Query, we don’t need the $query_string variable. In addition to using WP_Query to customize the default loop, we can also use it to create and customize multiple loops. Here is a basic example:
<?php // Loop 1 $first_query = new WP_Query('cat=-1'); // exclude category while($first_query->have_posts()) : $first_query->the_post(); ... endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();  // Loop 2 $second_query = new WP_Query('cat=-2'); // exclude category while($second_query->have_posts()) : $second_query->the_post(); ... endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();  // Loop 3 $third_query = new WP_Query('cat=-3'); // exclude category while($third_query->have_posts()) : $third_query->the_post(); ... endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
Each of these additional loops may be placed anywhere in your theme template – no need to line them up sequentially. For example, one loop may be placed in your sidebar, another in your footer, and so on. And with the output of each loop easily modified using any of the available parameters, any loop configuration is possible.

When to use? Use WP_Query for creating multiple, customized loops. By setting up additional instances of WP_Query in your theme, you can create any number of multiple loops, and customize the output of each.

Even so, we don’t always need to break out the big guns, sometimes we just need a few additional loops displayed around the page. So let’s put down the bazookas and gather in the garden for some get_posts tea ;)

Loop with get_posts()

The easiest, safest way to create multiple loops in your theme is to use get_posts(). Anywhere you need to display a quick, static set of posts, get_posts is the perfect choice. Think 10 recent posts in the sidebar, or 10 random posts in the footer. get_posts makes it easy. Here again is a query to exclude a specific category:
<?php global $post; // required $args = array('category' => -9); // exclude category 9 $custom_posts = get_posts($args); foreach($custom_posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ... endforeach; ?>
This code creates a loop of all posts except those in the excluded category. Of course, excluding a category is just one way to customize your additional, static loops. By using any of the same parameters accepted by WP_Query and query_posts, it’s possible to create loops that display just about anything you want.

Notice, however, that get_posts requires the use of an array for the parameters. The format for multiple parameters looks like this (using our previous example):

$args = array('numberposts'=>3, 'category'=>-6,-9, 'order'=>'ASC');

Also notice that we’re using numberposts instead of posts_per_page to limit the number of posts. According to the WP Codex, posts_per_page should work with get_posts, but if it doesn’t just go with numberposts. There is also a showposts parameter that also seems to work fine with get_posts.

When to use? Use the get_posts() function to easily create additional, static loops anywhere in your theme. get_posts accepts the same parameters as query_posts, and is perfect for adding static, custom loops to your sidebar, footer, or anywhere else.

30-Second Summary

The bottom line for customizing default loops and creating multiple loops:

To modify the default loop, use query_posts()

To modify loops and/or create multiple loops, use WP_Query()

To create static, additional loops, use get_posts()

If you’re working with WordPress loops and want to learn more about using them to customize your theme, we cover the topic extensively in our book, Digging into WordPress, which is current with WordPress 3.1 :)

Wordpress Tip: How To Post to Facebook Pages Instead of Profile Pages | Social Media

WordPress Tip: How To Post to Facebook Pages Instead of Profile Pages

Posted on 26. Nov, 2009 by Brian Wong in Social Media

There are many WordPress plugins that allow you to post an update to social media sites.

But when it comes to Facebook, its a little tricky. That’s because you can have a Facebook Profile page and a Facebook Public Profile page a.k.a. Facebook Fan Pages.

Because your Facebook “Friends” are different from your “Fans” – a common question I get asked is how to automatically post an update to Facebook Fan Pages instead of the Facebook Profile Page.

This is very powerful because your blog posts will be broadcast to the activity stream of your fans and if they comment or “like” the link, it will then be broadcast to all of their friends stream creating much welcomed syndication to your blog post.

Overview:

Now, I couldn’t find a WordPress plugin that could post directly to my Facebook Fan Page, so here’s the workaround using a Twitter plugin and a Facebook App.

Setting it Up:

1. First, download the TwitPress plugin and install the TwitPress plugin on your blog.
2. Add the Selective Twitter Status.app to your Fan Page. Note, please make sure you choose whether you want to add the app to your profile page or your fan pages. Then go through the “grant permissions” process to allow this app to post to your Fan Page Status stream.

Making it Work:

Here You have two choices. If you want ALL your blog posts to be automatically posted to your Facebook Fan Page, then just add the “#fb” tag in the Twitpress plugin edit menu.

Now, all of your posts will have the “#fb” added to the permalink and will appear on your Facebook Fan Page automatically as a status update.

Now, if you want to DECIDE which posts to add to your Facebook Fan Page each time you post, here’s what to do:

1. After composing your blog post, click on the Edit Permalink option below the post title
2. Add the “#fb” text to the end of your permalink

That’s it.

Hope it answers your questions on this issue. If you like these kind of tutorials, please:
1. Follow me on Twitter
2. Follow me on Facebook
3. Subscribe to this blog

And if you like, please retweet this post. :)

20 Plugin Replacing Tutorials, Tips, Snippets and Solutions for WordPress

It is no secret that there is an endless supply of plugins that will make WordPress highly extensible, its one of the main reasons why WordPress is so popular amongst developers. They give endless potential to the most basic installation and with wisely chosen plugins will very easily transform WP into a very powerful application.
But, do we really need to use plugins for the most common and basic tasks, like installing Analytics or re-directing your feed to Feedbuner? Or, do we really need plugins for pagination, contact forms or even a content slider? Of course not. There are better and in some cases simpler solutions, as we will show you in this article.
There are many benefits to not using plugins: You will have more control over customization and functionality, you can make WordPress faster and uncluttered, and most importantly, you will be able to reduce potential security risks. On top of all these reasons, there really is no greater satisfaction than coding everything yourself.
In this article we have taken 20 of the most popular plugin uses and offer a plugin-replacing solution, via either a code hack, tutorial or a simple tip.

Related Posts without a Plugin (Basic Method)
Displaying related posts is a very great way to get visitors to stay longer on your blog. You could use a plugin, but to make things even easier you could use this snippet:
<?php $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID); if ($tags) { $tag_ids = array(); foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;  $args=array( 'tag__in' => $tag_ids, 'post__not_in' => array($post->ID), 'showposts'=>5, // Number of related posts that will be shown. 'caller_get_posts'=>1 ); $my_query = new wp_query($args); if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { echo '<h3>Related Posts</h3><ul>'; while ($my_query->have_posts()) { $my_query->the_post(); ?> <li></li> <?php } echo '</ul>'; } } ?>

Related Posts with Thumbnail without a Plugin (Advanced)
This code snippet does not simply display a list of links, but builds a list of images (thumbnails) instead:
<?php $backup = $post; $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID); if ($tags) { $tag_ids = array(); foreach($tags as $individual_tag) $tag_ids[] = $individual_tag->term_id;  $args=array( 'tag__in' => $tag_ids, 'post__not_in' => array($post->ID), 'showposts'=>5, // Number of related posts that will be shown. 'caller_get_posts'=>1 );  $my_query = new wp_query($args); if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { echo '<h3>Related Posts</h3><ul>'; while ($my_query->have_posts()) { $my_query->the_post(); ?>  <li><?php the_title(); ?></li>  <?php } echo '</ul>'; } } $post = $backup; wp_reset_query(); ?>

'/' .$image_data['file']; $large_image_location = $upload_dir['path'] . '/'.$image_data['sizes']['large']['file'];  // delete the uploaded image unlink($uploaded_image_location);  // rename the large image rename($large_image_location,$uploaded_image_location);  // update image metadata and return them $image_data['width'] = $image_data['sizes']['large']['width']; $image_data['height'] = $image_data['sizes']['large']['height']; unset($image_data['sizes']['large']);  return $image_data; } add_filter('wp_generate_attachment_metadata','replace_uploaded_image');

Please note that the Google Analytics video is out of date as Google have changed their placement of the google analytics code to be just before the end of the head section.
This also means some new code needs to be used not the old one that went before the end body tag
See the analytics site for more info.

Custom Login/Register/Password Code

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 04:25:00 +0000

In this DiW post, we transform three slices of code into a clean & stylish tabbed menu that visitors can use to login, register, and recover passwords from anywhere in your site. Too many features & details to explain up front, so check out the working demo to see the finished product. On the menu:

Default WordPress Login Page

Moving the login/register/password form

Custom WordPress template code

Implement and Demo

Customizing things

Wrap up

Default WordPress Login Page

Out of the box, WordPress uses wp-login.php for logging into the Admin, retrieving lost passwords, and registering for site membership. Each of these activities are handled on the same page, commonly referred to as the WordPress Login Page.

Yep, it’s the WordPress Login Page

As seen here, the Login Page shows the log-in form by default. Beneath the form are two links, “Register” and “Lost your password?”, which enable users to (yep, you guessed it) register and recover their password.

The cool thing about the Login Page is that the page doesn’t reload when either of these links are clicked. Instead, the form instantly changes from login to register or password to whatever. All three forms are included on the wp-login.php page and hidden/revealed as-needed using JavaScript. This “same-page” functionality is key to setting up our own custom login/register/password form elsewhere in our theme.

Moving the login/register/password form

While it’s not a good idea to move the entire wp-login.php file, it is possible to display the login/register/password forms anywhere in your theme. For example, putting the forms in your sidebar.php make it super-easy for visitors to register and login from anywhere in your site (here is an example). You could even create a WordPress page for each event: login, registration, and password-recovery pages that are customized/optimized in some really unique, bad-ass way.

The key to mobilizing the login forms is ensuring that they’ll work properly regardless of placement (before, after, or within the loop) in your theme template files. We also want to ensure that normal visitors who aren’t logged in see the forms, but logged-in users do not (or see alternate content).

Basically, it should work exactly like the default WordPress login functionality, but with one exception: instead of redirecting to the Admin Area (for log-ins) or to the Login Page (for registrations/password-recovery), we want the user to remain on the same page. This enables your guests to log-in, register, and reset passwords without leaving whatever page they happen to be visiting. Here’s the code to make it happen..

Custom WordPress template code

Here is the code to display the login/register/password form anywhere in your theme:

view as plain text
<div id="login-register-password">  <?php global $user_ID, $user_identity; get_currentuserinfo(); if (!$user_ID) { ?>  <ul class="tabs_login"> <li class="active_login">Login</li> <li>Register</li> <li>Forgot?</li> </ul> <div class="tab_container_login"> <div id="tab1_login" class="tab_content_login">  <?php $register = $_GET['register']; $reset = $_GET['reset']; if ($register == true) { ?>  <h3>Success!</h3> <p>Check your email for the password and then return to log in.</p>  <?php } elseif ($reset == true) { ?>  <h3>Success!</h3> <p>Check your email to reset your password.</p>  <?php } else { ?>  <h3>Have an account?</h3> <p>Log in or sign up! It&rsquo;s fast &amp; <em>free!</em></p>  <?php } ?>  <form method="post" action="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-login.php" class="wp-user-form"> <div class="username"> <label for="user_login"><?php _e('Username'); ?>: </label> <input type="text" name="log" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($user_login)); ?>" size="20" id="user_login" tabindex="11" /> </div> <div class="password"> <label for="user_pass"><?php _e('Password'); ?>: </label> <input type="password" name="pwd" value="" size="20" id="user_pass" tabindex="12" /> </div> <div class="login_fields"> <div class="rememberme"> <label for="rememberme"> <input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" value="forever" checked="checked" id="rememberme" tabindex="13" /> Remember me </label> </div> <?php do_action('login_form'); ?> <input type="submit" name="user-submit" value="<?php _e('Login'); ?>" tabindex="14" class="user-submit" /> <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="user-cookie" value="1" /> </div> </form> </div> <div id="tab2_login" class="tab_content_login" style="display:none;"> <h3>Register for this site!</h3> <p>Sign up now for the good stuff.</p> <form method="post" action="<?php echo site_url('wp-login.php?action=register', 'login_post') ?>" class="wp-user-form"> <div class="username"> <label for="user_login"><?php _e('Username'); ?>: </label> <input type="text" name="user_login" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($user_login)); ?>" size="20" id="user_login" tabindex="101" /> </div> <div class="password"> <label for="user_email"><?php _e('Your Email'); ?>: </label> <input type="text" name="user_email" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($user_email)); ?>" size="25" id="user_email" tabindex="102" /> </div> <div class="login_fields"> <?php do_action('register_form'); ?> <input type="submit" name="user-submit" value="<?php _e('Sign up!'); ?>" class="user-submit" tabindex="103" /> <?php $register = $_GET['register']; if($register == true) { echo '<p>Check your email for the password!</p>'; } ?> <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>?register=true" /> <input type="hidden" name="user-cookie" value="1" /> </div> </form> </div> <div id="tab3_login" class="tab_content_login" style="display:none;"> <h3>Lose something?</h3> <p>Enter your username or email to reset your password.</p> <form method="post" action="<?php echo site_url('wp-login.php?action=lostpassword', 'login_post') ?>" class="wp-user-form"> <div class="username"> <label for="user_login" class="hide"><?php _e('Username or Email'); ?>: </label> <input type="text" name="user_login" value="" size="20" id="user_login" tabindex="1001" /> </div> <div class="login_fields"> <?php do_action('login_form', 'resetpass'); ?> <input type="submit" name="user-submit" value="<?php _e('Reset my password'); ?>" class="user-submit" tabindex="1002" /> <?php $reset = $_GET['reset']; if($reset == true) { echo '<p>A message will be sent to your email address.</p>'; } ?> <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>?reset=true" /> <input type="hidden" name="user-cookie" value="1" /> </div> </form> </div> </div>  <?php } else { // is logged in ?>  <div class="sidebox"> <h3>Welcome, <?php echo $user_identity; ?></h3> <div class="usericon"> <?php global $userdata; get_currentuserinfo(); echo get_avatar($userdata->ID, 60); ?>  </div> <div class="userinfo"> <p>You&rsquo;re logged in as <strong><?php echo $user_identity; ?></strong></p> <p> Log out |  <?php if (current_user_can('manage_options')) {  echo '' . __('Admin') . ''; } else {  echo '' . __('Profile') . ''; } ?>  </p> </div> </div>  <?php } ?>  </div>
Okay, so here are the functional highlights for this hefty chunk of code:

Everything is wrapped with <div id="login-register-password"></div>

If the user is not logged in, the three forms are included in the markup

If the user is logged in, a simple welcome message is displayed

Success messages are displayed after both password recovery and registration

Each form submission sets a generic user-cookie

After login or registration, the script redirects the user to the same page

Only one form is shown at a time; JavaScript is used to show and hide forms

So if you just throw this thing into your sidebar.php file, you’ll see the login form and three links: login, register, and recover-password. The other two forms are included in the markup, but are hidden with CSS (display:none;). As-is, the three links won’t do anything because they require JavaScript to work. Once we sprinkle in some jQuery, the links will toggle the three different forms.

Implement and Demo

First let’s walk through using this code in your theme, and then we’ll check out a demo.

Place the custom login code in your sidebar.php file, or some other location

Grab the jQuery code (no-conflict mode) and include it in your footer.php file

Include the CSS code in your theme’s style.css file, or wherever your styles are located

..and done. Once these three items are in place, upload everything to your server and check it out. Here is a demo showing this code used on a custom page within the loop.

Note that we have registration disabled here at DigWP.com, so the forms won’t be of much use other than to show how the tabs work and how the forms are styled. Here are some screenshots showing the “success” messages, and also the “logged-in” display.

Message displayed on successful registration

Message displayed on successful password-recovery

Content displayed when user is logged into the site

Here again is the demo and here are the three resource files:

Custom Template Code

jQuery Code

CSS Code

Customizing things

One of the main reasons why we like working with actual code instead of widgets or plugins is the ability to easily customize anything we want exactly how we want it. With this implementation, there are basically three things to customize: the jQuery, the custom login code, and the CSS. As with any code, there are countless ways to modify appearance and functionality, so hopefully you have something specific in mind, and are familiar enough with design to jump in and customize things. If not, no worries – here are some ideas to help get you started.

Customizing the login forms

As-is, the custom login forms redirect to the current page. To get any/all of the forms to redirect to a different page, locate and edit the following line of code:
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" />
There are three instances of this hidden input field, which WordPress uses to perform the redirect. The value returns the current URL, so that’s what needs changed for each form to redirect elsewhere.

Another useful modification involves customizing what the logged-in users see. Showing the gravatar and username is kind of neat, but there are tons of cool tricks to help ensure smooth user experience.

Customizing the jQuery

The jQuery used to show/hide the different login panels is actually pretty basic and is only used for toggling display states. I suppose there is a way to customize this, but it already handles additional menu items, so maybe you want to change the class names or optimize the script or something.

I do love to look at a nice slice of well-formatted jQuery, however, so I’ll further indulge myself by including the entire code snippet right here:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $(".tab_content_login").hide(); $("ul.tabs_login li:first").addClass("active_login").show(); $(".tab_content_login:first").show(); $("ul.tabs_login li").click(function() { $("ul.tabs_login li").removeClass("active_login"); $(this).addClass("active_login"); $(".tab_content_login").hide(); var activeTab = $(this).find("a").attr("href"); if ($.browser.msie) {$(activeTab).show();} else {$(activeTab).show();} return false; }); }); </script>
A bit heavy-handed perhaps, but works great with no editing required ;)

Customizing the CSS

To get that fancy tabbed form menu looking all clean and rounded, much CSS is used. So instead of posting endless gobs of CSS, here is the code in plain text. As with any CSS, the best way to customize things is to open Firebug and start tweaking.

Just the links

One last trick: use this code to display links to the default WordPress login/registration page:
<ul> <?php wp_register(); ?> <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li> <?php wp_meta(); ?> </ul>
Nothing to golf about, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

Wrap up

Using the code and techniques in this article, you can provide your readers with a login form anywhere on your site. This makes it easy for your users and visitors to login/logout, register for your site, and recover passwords without leaving their current page. The login code works great as-is or is easily transformed into a snazzily tabbed login menu using a sprinkle of CSS and a dash of jQuery.

Finally, one of the great things about WordPress is that there is always more than one way to set things up. So if you see a way to improve the code, please share with the community by leaving a comment. Thank you!
