Associate Tags & Categories with Custom Post Type – CPT & Make them Work on Archive Pages

by

If you associate your own custom post types with the built-in ‘category’ and ‘tags’ taxonomies in WordPress, to make them work in Tag, Category Archive pages, you need to add following code in the functions.php

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'query_post_type');
function query_post_type($query) {
if(is_category() || is_tag()) {
$post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
if($post_type)
$post_type = $post_type;
else
//in following line replace 'cpt' with your own cpt.
// note 'nav_menu_item' is added in below code for custom menus to work on archive pages with it.
$post_type = array('nav_menu_item','post','cpt');
$query->set('post_type',$post_type);
return $query;
}
}

Keep Height of Second Div column same as First Div

by

Hi,

In responsive web design, I often encounter this issue, and solve it with jQuery. However this time, it was little different took much time to get it right.. So i am posting here for future reference:

<code>

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var currentHeight = 0;

$(window).load(function() {
currentHeight = $('#slider').outerHeight();
$('#slider-right').css({'height':currentHeight});
});

$(window).resize(function() {
currentHeight = $('#slider').outerHeight();
$('#slider-right').css({'height':currentHeight});
$(window).trigger('resize');
});

});
</script>
</code>

I had two column layout, with responsive slider at the left, and a div in the right.

As slider keeps changing its height, right div looked bad. So using above code, we can use Jquery which does:

1. Take size of slider (on load as real property in css is not set, and you need to let the page rendered to get the rendered height)

2. Now we have two functions, one changes the height of right div on first page load. And second does the same thing but on every time when window resizes… to keep the height same on every window resize/reload.

Best Free Open Source FTP Client is FileZilla

by

Update: Dec 1, 2007 As FTP commander guys has stopped offering free version. My recommendation goes to OPEN SOURCE free and Best FTP client Filezilla  

I am using Filezilla now and it is awesome when it comes to FTP tasks. So download it and use it as it is BEST free FTP software which is also OPEN SOURCE and constantly being updated by the great programmers!

Update: Oct 27, 2014

FileZilla tips you need to master:

  • Bookmarks
  • Synchronized browsing
  • File Filters , MENU View -> File Filters (to hide all configuration directories in local machine, very hand time saving filter with the same name!)

Yes this is fact what i have written in the subject line.

SmartFtp was suggested by a friend of mine as a good ftp client online. I tried it a lot. it worked fine for me in many situations but failed at many other tasks. It was impossible for me to upload a big script to my server using this crap client. It never completed the upload. So i started to research for other ftp client which can upload big files, many files at a time at maximum speed.

Till now, i have tried many other ftp clients, but for now FTP Commander is working best. [Note: as per above update i recommend Filezilla!] Yeah it is FREEWARE, it is speedy uploader, and it is able to upload big folder with so many files without any problem. Thats it. Maybe it help you in difficult situation!
