I’ve just finished a project for a client who wanted an interesting feature on his site. He wanted a block of content to be turned on and off whenever he needed it. So when he wanted to promote something, he wanted to add some content and have it display until he was ready to ‘turn it off’. I came up with a unique means of doing this using custom fields. Here’s how you can achieve this:
Entries in 'custom fields'
Controlling the visibility of content with custom fields
Using Different Templates for Posts & Pages
Many times when using a WordPress site to manage static and dynamic content, you’ll have need to display posts in very different ways depending on the category they’re in. For example, if your site has products in various categories, as well as a blog news category, you’d most likely want to display your product listings and news listings in different ways. Here’s how you can do this.
Using custom fields to create archive thumbnails
When I launched this site, I was instantly jumped on by Ruark asking me how I achieved the thumbnails on the home & archive pages of this site. This can be done in a number of simple ways and with a bit of imagination, you can take it to a much greater level. So use this article to understand the basics and then you can decide how best to implement these methods.
