Yet another one of those write this down Jan, it will come up again posts. There’s almost certainly a better way to force log out absent users on a Mac but heck, this works for me. To kill off all the processes of a user named joe who’s left logged in but used the user [...]

Using WP-PageNavi with the Elemin theme
Update: Added a conditional to ensure that wp_pagenavi() runs once. The Elemin theme has it’s own built-in page navigation after the posts. It’s attractive, but not quite as flexible as the WP-PageNavi plugin. With this plugin you can put a page counter, link to the start and end pages, etc. It’s a cool add-on and [...]
It’s not my fault, the wife uses Internet Explorer 8
For my home PCs I typically run the latest and greatest web browsers. I even run Internet Explorer 9 which is even not that bad™. Lately I’ve been vacillating between Firefox and Chrome. At my wife’s work they’re now using Internet Explorer 8. That’s an improvement, they’ve been on version 6 for years. This blog’s [...]
Fun with oEmbed and Twitter
This tweet is being displayed using oEmbed between WordPress and Twitter. This capability was added a few minutes ago after I pasted Otto’s code snippet into my theme’s functions.php file: So can an oEmbed’ed tweet also embed the Youtube video?youtube.com/watch?v=UfcNoM… — Jan Dembowski (@jan_dembowski) December 21, 2011 That’s pretty remarkable. I’ve embedded a tweet that [...]
Themify child theme fix
Update: Themify fixed the issue and an update is now available. The child theme fix is no longer needed. I updated my Elemin theme to the latest and greatest and ran into a problem. They’ve changes how style sheets are queued up to use wp_enqueue_scripts. That’s good, but now my child theme’s style.css will not [...]
I really am limited by my PHP and CSS
As part of purchasing the Elemin theme I get support from Themify and I asked for CSS help on their forum. It’s a good benefit and part of the package. I was able to get two full posts on the home page and leave the rest as excerpts but the CSS was baffling me. I [...]
Customizing the Elemin theme
NOTE: No parent theme files were harmed, modified, or otherwise abused in the making of this blog post. Sometimes I do learn things! I was able to customize the layout of my blog using a child theme, some CSS, and some additions to my child theme’s functions.php file. The Elemin theme from Themify is a [...]
Time for a new WordPress theme
The last time I switched this site to another theme was March 2010, before that April 2008. This time I’ve switched to a commercial them called Elemin. This is a first for me as I’ve never purchased a theme before. But it was on sale for Black Friday and I had been eying it since [...]
(Was) Microsoft Touch Mouse
For years I’ve been using the Logitech MX Revolution mouse and it’s gotten long in the tooth. The pointer would stutter, the mouse buttons wouldn’t click, the click would release at the worst time, etc. I could read the signs and it was time for it to go. I was leaning towards getting the Performance [...]
Now validated with StartSSL
So while I was putzing around with my SSL sites and getting some grief with mod_gnutls, I realized that my life really would be much easier with a valid wildcard SSL cert. So naturally I went to StartSSL and went through the process for a Class 2 Validation. I had meant to do it for [...]
