The Problem The biggest appeal WordPress has is it’s extensibility via plugins. But if you create a plugin for personal use or for a corporation with a very specific purpose, you may not want to go through the process of having it submitted, approved, and available for the world on the WordPress Plugin repository. So what’s wrong with just hosting your plugin .zip file and providing a link for convenient access? One answer:...

If you want to use a transparent PNG in MailChimp’s Chimpadeedoo iPad app, the file must be saved, not synced. In other words, if you try to transfer a png to your iPad by syncing it with iTunes, it’s going to get flattened and the transparency removed. But, if you email it to yourself and save it from the iPad, the transparency will be preserved.

I continue to get the message “Please double-check your verification code.” If I switch fonts, it validates just fine. This has nothing to do with disabling other plugins and using default theme, as I have attempted all of that in order to track down what was causing this issue. I’m now using...

CForms II is an extremely robust and useful plugin for WordPress. One of the main frustrations I’ve noticed people have with it is the lack of optgroup support with select boxes. I wrote this little piece of JQuery code that will allow you to enable optgroup: if($(".cform").length!=0){ $(".cform select option").each(function(){ if($(this).val() == "groupstart"){ var label = $(this).text(); ...

Error: jQuery.easing [jQuery.easing.def] is not a function Is caused when JQuery javascript doesn’t load before the plugin js. To fix it, you just need to go into the jquery.easing.1.3.js file and wrap it with $(document).ready(function() { ... });

Based on my experience, you cannot upload an MP3 that contains a dollar sign ($) to the Amazon Cloud Player. I had to rename mine in iTunes or it would just sit and attempt to upload over, and over, and over again.
