The htaccess Rules for all WordPress Permalinks
I recently performed a series of tests on a fresh installation of WordPress 2.8.6 to determine the exact htaccess rewrite rules that WordPress writes to its htaccess file for various permalink configurations. Under the WP admin option menu, WordPress lists four choices for permalink structure: Default: http://perishablepress.com/press/?=123 Date and name based: http://perishablepress.com/press/index.php/2006/06/14/sample-post/ Numeric: http://perishablepress.com/press/index.php/archives/123 Custom: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ The "default" option is to not use permalinks. The "date and name based" setting invokes the /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ rule pattern. The "numeric" [...] • Read more »

Whereas Google Maps provides an online navigational resource, Google Earth is a free, fully downloadable software application that brings that literally brings the world to your desktop.

Passing Quotation Marks via wp_link_pages
According to the WordPress Codex 1, it is possible to pass quotation marks via the parameters of the function, wp_link_pages(). This would enable users to assign a particular css class or id to the function output, thereby providing greater design and behavioral control over that particular object. But alas, as reported several times in the WordPress Codex 2, wp_link_pages() is unable to pass quotes without causing errors. To fix this, we open template-functions-post.php and find wp_link_pages(), which [...] • Read more »
Reversing WordPress Page Navigation Order
This article explains how to reverse the order of WordPress page navigation links. To reverse the default (backward) order of page navigation in WordPress, open the file template-functions-links.php (in WP 2.0) or link-template.php (in WP 2.1/2.2) and scroll down to the last function, posts_nav_link() 1. Next, find the last if statement and switch the order of the following two lines: previous_posts_link($prelabel); [ ignore this line ] next_posts_link($nxtlabel, $max_page); Next, within the first line of the same function [...] • Read more »
