How I Built The Category Sticky Post and Tag Sticky Post WordPress Plugins

August 28, 2012 / Tom / 0 Comments

Yesterday, I released two plugins for WordPress – Category Sticky Post and Tag Sticky Post – both of which serve the same purpose:

Allows authors to mark a post to be placed at the top of a specified archive. It’s sticky posts specifically for an archive.

The only difference is that one is specifically intended for category archives, the other with tag archives. And thus explains the clever names of each of the plugins.

As with my other plugins, I wanted to share my notes on what into building Category Sticky Post and Tag Sticky Post.

Category Sticky Post For WordPress

Category Sticky Post

Category Sticky Post for WordPress is a plugin that allows you to mark a post as sticky within a specific category archive. It works exactly like the typical sticky post functionality within WordPress, except that it’s specifically for category archives.

This means that if you have a set of articles under one category, you can mark one to always appear at the top of the category archive.

Tag Sticky Post For WordPress

Tag Sticky Post for WordPress is a plugin that allows you to mark a post as sticky within a specific tag archive. It works exactly like the typical sticky post functionality within WordPress, except that it’s specifically for tag archives.

Understanding WP_Query

August 24, 2012 / Tom / 0 Comments

I’ve done my fair share of work with WP_Query this week – it’s definitely been an exercise in education, but when an employee of Automattic comments and offers advice, it’s worth listening

But I wanted to keep the conversation going for the benefit of other developers.

As such, I wanted to reblog this talk by lead WordPress developer and Audrey Capital technologist Andrew Nacin in which he discusses the various topics surrounding WordPress queries, hooks, and so on in order guide others in understanding WP_Query.
