Comments for Pages in WordPress

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Compare the single.php and page.php and add the call for the comments template to your Page template.

Just insert the following code in the page.php, before the closing </div> tag.

<!--opens comments.php-->
    <?php comments_template(); ?>

so before my page.php was like this.

<?php get_header(); ?>

    <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

        <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
        <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
            <div class="entry">
                <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page »</p>'); ?>

                <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

            </div>
        </div>
        <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    <?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
    </div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

and once I edited it to allow comments for pages it was like this (changes highlighted in red):

<?php get_header(); ?>

    <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

        <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
        <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
            <div class="entry">
                <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page »</p>'); ?>

                <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

            </div>
        </div>
        <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    <?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
<!–opens comments.php–>
    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    </div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Wordpress 2.5.x Plugins

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Here some useful plugins when going for WordPress 2.5.x

  • WordPress Backup (savety first - nothing worse than having invested hundreds of hours in a blog and then seeing it all gone with the blink of an eye — if you back up you won’t loose everything)
  • All-In-One-SEO-Pack - Great PlugIn to better make your blog more search engine friendly.
  • HeadSpace - grant plug-in similar to all-in-one SEO pack but even more functionality. I doubt though whether you can run both of them simultaneously sue you should decide which one you prefer all-in-one SEO pack or headspace.
  • Wordpress Automatic Upgrade - Great plugin - instead of manually messing around with files via FTP program Islam upgrades to the newest Wordpress version with the click of a button.
  • Google XML Sitemap Generator - Google LOVES sitemaps, and this neat plug-in creates sitemaps easily for you.
  • Ultimate Google analytics -

Hope you might bees plug-ins, if you know of other ones that are good let me know.
