In this post i want to showcase most downloaded wordpress plugins from wordpress repository this doesn’t mean you have to install all these plugins but you can check them out.

List updated on 13 February 2013

WordPress plugin repository is very active and new plugins are added regularly. Most downloaded wordpress plugins doesn’t mean they are good, use plugins which are having good ranking and features to suit your websites requirements.

When you add custom links to your navigation you want option to set target to open link in a new window or tab. By default this feature is disabled under screen option you have to enable this option to set target attribute to your navigation links.

Open links in new window wp_nav_menu()

First go to Appearance > Menu, and click on screen options in the top right corner. Then check the Link Target option.

After you enable link target option from screen options settings you will find dropdown added to each menu item to set target.

    if(qtrans_getLanguage()=='en') {
      // add your code here if the current selected language is 'en' (English)
    } elseif(qtrans_getLanguage()=='de') {
      // add your code here if the current selected language de 'en' (German)
    }
    else {}

qTranslate plugin display different wp_nav_menu() based on selected language

If you are planning to display wp_nav_menu() based on selected language then following snippet will help you. It will display different wp_nav_menu() by selected language. First you have to add different menus inside your wordpress admin.

First you have to register menus inside functions.php add following lines of code inside your theme’s fuctions.php file

<?php 
if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menus' ) ) {
    register_nav_menus(
        array(
          'menu-header-en' => 'Main Menu EN',
          'menu-header-de' => 'Main Menu DE'
        )
    );
} ?>

Then add following lines of code where you want to display this menu.

<?php wp_nav_menu( array(  'theme_location' => 'menu-header-' . qtrans_getLanguage() , 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'container_class' => 'header-navigation' ) ); ?>

If you are using filezilla version 3.6+ then first click on server -> “Force Showing Hidden Files” when you click on that hidden files like htacces will be displayed.

First we have to find featured image id. You can get featured image id if a thumbnail is set using get_post_thumbnail_id() function. This function returns id of the attached featured image.

<?php $post_thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $post_id );  ?>

You have to pass post id to get featured image id.

Complete code to display all attached images to current post excluding featured image

$args = array(
	'post_type'   => 'attachment',
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'post_status' => null,
	'post_parent' => $post->ID,
	'exclude'     => get_post_thumbnail_id()
	);

$attachments = get_posts( $args );

if ( $attachments ) {
	foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
		echo apply_filters( 'the_title', $attachment->post_title );
		the_attachment_link( $attachment->ID, false );
	}
}
