Today I had a strange one. I’ve been adding editor styles to my sites using add_editor_style() now for a while, so that editors can see what the posts will look like when they post them. Today when I added in the same code as I always do, the stylesheets just wouldn’t work. Continue reading WordPress – add_editor_style() not adding stylesheets to TinyMCE Editor

WordPress theme – is custom-made or pre-built best for my site?
It’s becoming commonplace that people go to one of the many commercial WordPress theme marketplaces, search through the list for a theme that suits what their business does, purchase that, and use it on their site. In theory, this is great. It lets you get a head-start in functionality as everything you need is “all included” in that theme. But there are also downsides to it.

Converting Postscript Fonts to Web Fonts
We’ve got problems with old fonts here. The designers want to use them on websites, but thanks to the way that Macs handle older Postscript Type 1 fonts, they are always seen as 0kb files to my PC. That means that they can’t be saved or converted into web fonts. Continue reading Converting Postscript Fonts to Web Fonts
WordPress gallery only links to image files? Help!
This was a cry for help that I got from a client a short while ago when they wanted to change their galleries to link from the image files to the attachment pages so they could get more content on the site, and offer a bit more functionality than displaying only a standard image could. While it seems to be a very quick and easy fix, it turned out to be a little more complicated than it should have been.

Using @font-face Fonts Cross Domain
On a new project I hit a restriction trying to use some nice font-face web fonts. The client has around 10 different domain names, and all of them point back to one central site. When you visit the main URL, everything is great. When you visit any one of the other URL’s… the fonts don’t work. Continue reading Using @font-face Fonts Cross Domain

Setting up virtual hosts in WAMP
WAMP is some great software, and lets us all do our development on our own PC’s. The only downside is that as it comes configured standard, it only works with the http://localhost/ domain, which is good, but doesn’t let you keep up with multiple sites at the same time.

Why we need to know what you want us to do
Have you ever had a client that just doesn’t understand why they are being charged more than they were quoted? Continue reading Why we need to know what you want us to do
Using WAMP in Windows 8
I haven’t set this up yet, but I’m due for a new PC very soon, so I know that I’ll be needing to do this sooner rather than later, so I wanted to share some of the resources that I’ve found on how to get it working. Continue reading Using WAMP in Windows 8
Removing duplicate rows in MySQL (the “easy” way…)
I recently had to sort out a database for a client. It was a mess….
The database was for people to contact, sort of like a telemarketing system (their choice, not mine…). The problem that they were having was that the database contained a lot of entries that had people with different names at the same address with the same phone number. As you can imagine, calling the same people over and over again just because their phone number has come up again was not the best way to make friends.
