I've written a lightweight plugin to make it extremely easy to create Posts 2 Posts connections via the WordPress WP-API (Rest API). If you don't know about Posts 2 Posts, it's an extremely powerful (developer) plugin that allows you to create a 'connection' between 2 objects, often posts, pages, or CPT, but also users. A typical example Posts 2 Posts (P2P) usage is a website where you have 2 custom post types, actors and movies. They exist as separate post types so they can easily be managed … [Read more...]
Add SMS share button to EA Share Count plugin
I recently added an SMS share button to a high traffic site we built over at my main gig, BizBudding, Inc. We were already using the slim, but awesome, EA Share Count plugin from Jared Atchison and Bill Erickson so adding a new service was as easy as 2 simple filters. The first filter registers a new service called 'sms', while the 2nd filter adds the data (label, link, etc). After a little help testing via the amazing Genesis Slack group, we had it working on iOS and Android. The main code … [Read more...]

Remove Buttons/Items From The WordPress TinyMCE Editor
Sometimes you have a client that really thinks they are a designer, and reeeaaalllly wants everything to be pink. Or centered, justified, bold, etc. Did I already mention pink? On some occasions it's better for the client, and their business/blog, if they didn't have the ability to do that stuff. I'm currently rebuilding a site for a new client that wants everything pink. Everything. Seriously. I decided it may be worth disabling the font color option from the TinyMCE editor in WordPress. I … [Read more...]
Responsive background image aspect ratio with content overlay
Here's the scenario. You want to use an image as the background of a container, and you want to maintain that images' aspect ratio. For an extra bonus, you want to have some text (HTML) on top of the image. There are a few ways you may go about doing this, but all that I've tried so far seem to have some major pitfalls. As a starting point, there is a post on Golden Apple Web Design that I keep referring back to. It actually got me 90% of the way there. Adding content (HTML) inside the … [Read more...]

Radio buttons as toggle buttons with CSS
Updated: March 15, 2019 to use Flexbox instead of float 🙌 Form inputs are annoying, let's face it. There is a ton of data showing the more fields you have in a form, the higher the bounce rate of that form. I decided to play with radio buttons and try make them more like simple toggle buttons. After a bit of playing, I got it working in a clean, easy to use style. This makes your form very clear and fast to fill out for your user. Win. Let's see it in action You can play with the … [Read more...]
Front End Post Editing with Caldera Forms
It's not very hidden... I'm a huge fan of "FEATT" (front end all the things). Yes, that's an acronym I just made up right now, but I might just continue to use it. I love building websites that keep the users on the front end for posting & editing new posts, editing profiles, and more. Sometimes that's not feasible for the type of site you're working on, but many times it is, especially with some of the tools available now that make things easier for us to setup. Enter Caldera Forms. This … [Read more...]

You know those times you spend hours trying to solve a problem, then finally swallow your pride and ask for help, only to figure out a solution 10 minutes after asking? Yeah, screw you those times. Well not really. Actually, my recent adventure was a great learning experience for me the other day when I saved a ton of time with Caldera Forms. Remember that front-end posting of Testimonials by WooThemes plugin I made public on GitHub? I spent 6+ hours working on that plugin, after days of work … [Read more...]
