Recently, one of our clients needed to let visitors create WordPress posts (Or custom post types of course) from the website itself.
In this post, I’m going to walk through some of the WordPress functions I used to achieve this. We’ll go over creating the post itself, adding categories/tags, and adding metadata.
WordPress makes it straightforward to create a gallery from the images attached to a post. Just a couple of clicks and the gallery shortcode will be inserted into your post for you.
Why not make it even easier though? In this post, I will walk you through adjusting your theme to automatically insert a gallery after every post.
We’ll also limit how many images show up in the gallery (The rest can be shown on the individual image pages themselves), and exclude our post’s featured image if it has one.

WordPress is an awesome publishing tool, and one of the best features is its flexibility to customize its core functions with plugins. The simplest definition of a plugin is:
A plugin is a snippet of code which is used to extend the functionality of WordPress.
And one of the nicest things about plugins is that the barrier to entry is extremely low. It takes very little technical knowledge to make your first plugin!
WordPress can be very simple to work with, but it can also be very complicated. The system can be used to do just about anything you like.
In this post we have collected together a range of tutorials that span from the very first things you need to know, like working with the loop, to much more complicated tricks, like setting up post thumbnails on your home page.
Ever wanted to browse through the older post archives only to be staring at the screen for ages in frustration while the content slowly loads up? A quick fix would be to make use of AJAX to load the post archives. In this tutorial, I will show you how to do that using the ever popular JavaScript framework; MooTools on a typical 2 column WordPress theme.
The code is quite easily digestible and with a little CSS tweaking, you could get it to work for your theme.
