This panel was recorded at WordCamp Sydney 2012 so that WordCamp attendees could learn how different WordPress developers make use of theme frameworks or starter themes for producing WordPress websites. This session gathers some of the WordPress theme development gurus who use theme frameworks or starter themes. We explain about why we use them, which frameworks we use, and their benefits and drawbacks in a Theme Development workflow.

The panel includes (from left to right):

• Dee Teal – The Web Princess who uses Genesis Framework by StudioPress
• Tony Cosentino – who uses the Builder framework by iThemes
• Peter Wilson from Floate Design Partners – who built his own ‘Big Red’ framework
• Bronson Quick – who uses WordPress Twenty Eleven and _s (underscores) the starter theme developed by Automattic

The panel is chaired by Peter Bui from PB Web Development.

At the start of this year I made 5 Predictions about where I thought WordPress would be by the end of the year.

1. WordPress gets an “App Store”
2. WordPress + Social
3. Better Media Experience
4. WordPress Dominates the Web (Specifically 20% of top 1 million sites)
5. Party Up Front (Front End Editing)

So let’s see how I did…

1. WordPress gets an “App Store”: PASS

WordPress saw many “App Store” plugins released, namely WP Appstore, Renku, and to a lesser extent Woo Dojo and the ever-growing Jetpack. Unfortunately we didn’t see an app store specifically powered by WordPress.com or WordPress.org finally an “app store”. Honestly after much thought, I’m having trouble seeing this ever happening for wp.org as an open platform like WordPress has vastly different dynamics compared to a closed platform like Apple’s App Store. Because there were so many app store plugins released but not a WordPress.com or .org specific I’ll going to give myself half points for this one.

2. WordPress + Social: FAIL

I expected WordPress to get much more social, in a Tumblr-like way. Alas, this did not happen. The closest we got to this was a feature in Jetpack called Notification, which allows you to receive comment notifications to all your WordPress.org and WordPress.com accounts no matter what website you are logged in on. There is no “global WordPress profile” that I would have liked, but the Jetpack plugin along with WordPress.com is getting closer to this.

3. Better Media Experience: PASS

With the release of WordPress 3.5 on Dec 11th, WordPress received a much needed and much requested upgrade to the way it handles media. This might seem like an obvious prediction in hindsight, but when this post was written a media upgrade was far from in sight, in fact some questioned if it would ever happen. Thankfully it did and I know that the core developers worked around the clock to make sure of this.

4. WordPress Dominates the Web (Specifically 20% of top 1 million sites): FAIL

When I made this prediction I knew this was definitely a long shot, I made it more out of hope than belief.  While WordPress has grown dramatically over the last year from 15.1 to 17.5% of the internet (if you can believe it), if did fall short of my ambitious 20% prediction. Although it fell short of my prediction, it’s a long way from the “tiny” 8.5% of the internet when we first started Sennza.

5. Party Up Front (Front End Editing): PASS

I am going to give myself a pass for this one. Although I think WordPress has a long way to go in terms of integrating front end editing, with the release of WordPress 3.4 back in June 13th which included the Theme Customizer, front end editing in WordPress got a major boost from the lowly admin bar that you could use to switch between front end and back-end for editing.

So all up for 2012 I scored  2.5/5 for my WordPress predictions. Here’s hoping I can do a little better next year

The post 2012 WordPress Predictions Followup appeared first on Sennza.

The Meetup was held at the Majoran Distillery which is the first co-working space in Adelaide. The Majoran Distillery has only been around since July 2012 and already it’s proven to be so popular that the boys who run the space have had to start work on creating a co-working space that’s 4x larger than the current space! I’ve worked in 2 co-working spaces over the last 2 years and I highly recommend them for both freelancers and small businesses who are chasing a fun and interesting office space rather than an isolated office.

What we covered at the Meetup

• Intros and details about what happens at the Meetups -  Ivaylo and Rebecca
• Who are you and how do you use WordPress? – Everyone in the room
• WordPress in Australia & Around The Globe – Myself
• WordPress Triva - Ivaylo and Rebecca

WordPress in Australia & Around The Globe

Rebecca suggested the topic “WordPress in Australia & Around The Globe” for my talk at the Meetup so that I could give the Meetup members a bit of an idea about the WordPress community in Australia, how to get involved and also how you can get involved in WordPress around the world.

I’ve added the audio and slides of my talk at the Meetup below. Thanks to Ivaylo for capturing the slides and the audio at the Meetup!

The post WordPress Adelaide Meetup appeared first on Sennza.

At WordCamp Sydney 2012 I gave a talk entitled “There’s More Than 1 Way To Skin a Theme” which was aimed at encouraging other developers to plan and develop websites in a more “client friendly” way. What I mean by this is developers should think more about how a client would use and manage their website, and less like how a developer would code it, after all, the client will be the one who uses the website long after the developer has finished.

More often than not there are many way to develop the exact same feature for a website, so the planning that goes into the website can mean the difference between hours or minuties when it comes time to updating or editing your website. At Sennza we place a huge emphasis on making things as simple and easy as possible for the client to manage their website. If you have a website developed by us, we don’t just think about how you will use your website now, but how you will use it into the future (well, as much as is possible at the time). Hopefully this talk gives you an insight into how we plan out a project for development at Sennza.

Below are reference notes for the talk I gave:

In talk I covered some themes (no pun intended ) that we follow closely at Sennza to ensure we develop all of our WordPress websites in a client friendly way:

• Marco Arment’s post on Right v Pragmatic, is a great read for understanding how to approach problems from a different perspective.
• What Would Core Do? is a talk by Jake Goldman at WordCamp Miami, and a great approach to take when you are developing a theme. There is no need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to WordPress, doing things like reskinning the WordPress dashboard can only confuse clients and create more work for you.
• Plan out your content before you start ANY development. WordPress is a really powerful tool when it comes to managing content types and taxonomies so do be afraid to dive into these when developing a theme. If you are new to custom posts types have a look at this CPT generator as a starting point.
• Content vs Context: Remember that you are building on a CMS, so the client can and will change content at any time. Label things that will make sense when the content eventually changes ie: Main Menu, Secondary Menu. 1st Footer Widget, 2nd Footer Widget.
• For an easy way to list all sub pages of a parent we use a plugin called ‘List Sub Pages Widget” which simply lists out the sub pages for the parent page that the sub page belongs to. (This is an internally developed plugin that we will make freely available shortly)

If you would like to uses some of the code examples that I mentioned in my talk you can find the code here:

• CSS to add a PDF icon: https://gist.github.com/2848535
• A WordPress widget to display all attachments to a post/page of a certain type: https://gist.github.com/1971133
• For the video CPT example we used a plugin called Advanced Post Types Order

One of the side effects of this talk was that other developers came up to me and mentioned it was really interesting to hear another agencies perspective on development. If you are a developer and you think you tackle WordPress problems in a different way than most, we would love to hear from you!

The post Developing Client Friendly Websites appeared first on Sennza.

After watching the recent Mixergy interview with Jason Cohen as few weeks back I felt like I should write a quick thank you to WP Engine.

Ever since we started Sennza I have been on the look out for a hosting company that knows WordPress back to front. We have had our fair share of war stories from hosting companies. Believe it or not, we once used Distribute IT before they died a painful death, but that’s another story.

After using upwards of 7 different hosting companies plus experiencing many other hosting environments with our clients I can say that for hosting WordPress websites, WP Engine is second to none.

We only every use WordPress on our hosting so it’s important that everything is optimised for this content management system.

While I was watching the interview with Jason on Mixergy, he mentioned that they experienced rapid growth and had a few disgruntled customers towards the start of the year. During this high growth period we were moving one of our high traffic clients over to WP Engine. I wouldn’t say we were disgruntled, we did have to shoot a few support tickets back and forth at this exact same time. I couldn’t help but think that we were one of the customers he was talking about…

When we first decided to use WP Engine we started with just one of our clients, naturally it was one that gets a significant amount of traffic. The website is also a membership website that is visited by tens of thousands of customers each day. One of the best things about WP Engine is that their server’s cache websites heavily. Unfortunately for us the caching on the migrated site was not playing nicely with WP Engines’ setup and thousands of members were locked of this website. After several support requests, Jason himself (the CEO of the company) jumped in to help sort out the problem!

I can guarantee that any other hosting company would have given up with the caching problem we had initially! Actually, any other hosting company would have flat-out said that it’s “not their problem”.

So hats off to WP Engine and thank you for helping us where no other hosting company would have. They even took notice of some feedback we’d provided about Random Posts widgets being able to be stored in a WordPress transient to reduce server load and allow some sites to still have these widgets. They even added a new feature in their dashboard to active the ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’ option in WordPress queries! I bet no other WordPress hosting company has ever done that in the past!

Their service was so good that when we visited Austin Texas for SXSW this year we made it a must to drop by the WP Engine and say “Hello” (Picture above). All the team are extremely passionate and they are doing amazing things, I’m really keep to see where they are headed.

Once again, Thank you WP Engine!

The post Thank You WP Engine appeared first on Sennza.

For something that is easily avoidable this happens way to often. After getting in and fixing the website we were asked for a list of things to ensure this doesn’t happen again going forward, which made us realise, although there is some great documentation on this online, we don’t have a post about it on our blog.

First thing we did was enlist Sucuri to fix the malware. We could have poked around for serveral hours and fixed the problem, but that the end of the day these guys know security and malware back to front and for such a reasonable price it simply a no brainer. They found the malware pretty quickly so that left us to harden WordPress.

The WordPress Security Shortlist

There are some pretty easy things you can do on your WordPress site to stop some basic “attacks” on your WordPress site.

1.  Delete any user account with the username “admin”.
   If you have a admin account with the username “admin” then you have just given your hackers half the information they need to attack your site. Go to Users, set up a new Administrator account with a unique username and delete the “admin” username. Make sure you assign all previous posts and pages to your new Administrator account otherwise you’ll lose all the content that was created by the “admin” account.
2. ALWAYS update WordPress.
   As a guideline, generally 0.0.1 updates are to do with security and it’s in your best interest to update these as soon as possible. If your WordPress theme has been coded correctly (this is a rant for another time) then updating WordPress will do nothing except make your website more secure…oh and if it’s a major WordPress release then you’ll get new features! (read: win/winning!)
   N.B. To any WordPress developers:  If you are using a theme as a base for a website alway create a child theme before making any modification to theme. There are many tutorials on how to do this and even a plugin that will help you as well.
3. Update all plugins.
   Self explanatory right? It’s one click, not that hard
4. Add “Salt” in wp-config.php to add extra security for people logging into the site. Nearly all meals need salt, no matter how wonderfully prepared they are and the same goes for any WordPress install. Add salt! wp-config.php has a link to that.
5. Change the default database prefix from wp_ rather to a unique prefix. You can make it anything you like, just make sure it’s not wp_. I wouldn’t go back and change this to existing websites, but just keep it in mind when you install your next WordPress website.
6.  Ensure both the FTP and cPanel/Plesk passwords are not the same. Yes passwords are a pain to manage…no its not imposible, trust me, I have close to 100 WordPress admin passwords I have to manage and I do it all with 1Password. Spend the time and money to make generating a unique password a daily habit. There is no excuse for using the password: passwOrd (You’re not the smartest person alive because you replaced a letter with a number)! I see a lot of passwords, and you would not believe some of the ones I have seen. If you forget your password, you can always reset it, I do on a daily basis.
7. Last but not least, have a back up plan! Believe it or not a back up plan also includes a restoration plan. A backup isn’t worth it’s weight in gold unless you have an easy way to restore it.  Just buy BackupBuddy so you have both a backup and restore option covered! I cannot tell you how many times BackupBuddy has saved our skin at Sennza. We  use this plugin on a daily basis! (Massive props to Cory, Matt, Dustin and the iThemes team!)

The post WordPress Security appeared first on Sennza.

I’m an avid fan of keeping things as simple to update as possible but as WordPress developers we tend to end up with a crazy amount of sidebars when a client clicks through to Appearance-> Widgets. Even a lot of WordPress frameworks end up with a crazy amount of widget areas! Sure “we” understand all the widget areas but the client doesn’t!

The best solution I’ve seen to address this issue  is from Mika “Ipstenu” Epstein. She rethought the whole WordPress sidebar thing. Mika raised her points in part 1, 2 and 3 and Jane fulfilled her role as an awesome WordPress UI lead and pulled up the handbrake. So Mikas’ logic isn’t in core

Here’s my take on it cause I’m still a trac virgin

I’ve been thinking that we might be able to have  any Page Templates we’ve declared appear as a flyout menu under Appearance:

Then when you select a page template you could get the widget areas for that template rather than all the widget areas at once.

What are your thoughts?

Is this something that I should work out how to submit to WordPress trac?
Does my idea suck and am I doing it wrong?

I’m looking forward to your feedback

The post The Trouble With Sidebars/Widget Areas In WordPress appeared first on Sennza.

I’m happy to announce that Sennza has now been in business for 2 years and it’s time for me to take a few minutes to reflect on what has happened since our first birthday. We’ve come a long way in the last year so I’ll do a “quick” list of some of our achievements:

• We’ve got our own office!
• We helped organise WordCamp Gold Coast!
• We found time to redesign our website
• We’ve worked with 3 publicly listed companies
• More site traffic!
• Massive WordPress Meetup growth
• Another team member
• Sennza represents at SXSW!

We’ve got our own office!

12 months ago we were embracing the “distributed office” format for our business. Lachlan and myself would both work from home and use Skype to call each other. We’ve been though 2 offices in the last year. Our first office was a shared office space called The Thought Fort. The Thought Fort is a shared office space where you can rent desks per day, week or month. The Thought Fort is a fabulous environment and it’s filled with so many amazing people who work in all kinds of industries. While we were there we got to work alongside illustrators, web developers, iPad app developers and game programmers. If you’re working from home too much and need somewhere to work then you should definitely check out The Thought Fort!

We helped organise WordCamp Gold Coast!

WordCamp Gold Coast was an amazing event for the Australian WordPress community. We had around 150 attendees for the event which was fantastic. Organising the WordCamp took over 6 months and I was lucky enough to be part of an amazing team that included Lachlan MacPherson, Brent Shepherd, Dion Hulse and Russell McCurdie. We hustled as best we could to get some fantastic sponsors and speakers. We had John O’Nolan design an amazing t-shirt for us and he also spoke at the event. We were also lucky enough to have two other international WordPress celebs speaking at our event: Dan Milward from WP-Ecommerce and John Ford from VaultPress. Our Australian speakers were absolutely amazing as well and we were blown away by the quality of their talks and the time they donated for our WordCamp!

We found time to redesign our website

Due to our hectic work schedule the last thing on our list of “things to do” over the course of the year was redesigning our own website. As they say, “the plumber always has a leaky tap” and our leaky tap was our own web site! Each day we were working on stunningly beautiful WordPress powered websites for clients but we didn’t get the chance to give our own site a makeover. We managed to find a few hours to code up a responsive WordPress design for our own site. So you’ll get a slightly different look and feel for our site depending on what device you’re view it on. So if you’re viewing this on your mobile you’ll see a different layout and the same goes for iPad and desktop browsers. We still have a a few style bugs to work through when we get a chance but the site is looking rather sexy! Oh yeah and of course we’re using HTML5 and CSS3. (Geeky buzzwords )

We’ve worked with 3 publicly listed companies

We’re happy to have worked with 3 publicly listed companies who are using WordPress as their content management system (CMS) of choice. Seeing WordPress now powers 15.9% of the top one million sites on the internet we’re lucky enough to have these kinds of companies seeking us for their WordPress site design and development because they are already aware of how easy WordPress is to use and we’re one of the few “WordPress only” web development agencies in Australia.

More site traffic!

We’ve seen a good spike in traffic to our site over the last year thanks to a combination of our SEO efforts and our increase in branding. We are going to work on publishing more content on our blog this year and we’ll also be submitting some patches to the WordPress core this year so we’ll be getting even more traffic because of that so stay tuned!

Massive WordPress Meetup growth

Last year Lachlan and I said that we wanted to see both the WordPress Brisbane, WordPress Sydney and WordPress Tasmania meetups grow….and wow did they grow! Members to the Brisbane meetup have more than doubled, members to Tasmania are growing rapidly and Sydney members have almost tripled! This is thanks to the marvelous people who have taken the reins from other states to help keep the meetups powering on when we can’t make it interstate. Thanks to Peter Bui, Tony Cosentino, Dee Teal and Japh Thomson for keeping the Sydney and Tasmania Meetups organised!

Another team member

After searching high and low and interviewing a lot of potential staff over the last 8 months we finally found  a suitable WordPress developer to join our team. Mathew Hood is our first official WordPress developer. I’ve been working alongside him to groom him into an awesome WordPress developer so he’s learning how to do things “the WordPress way” and we’re excited to watch Mat grow as a developer. We’re very fussy when it comes to hiring the right person so you can rest assured that we’ve got another developer on board who will be a WordPress gun in no time!

Sennza represents at SXSW!

Last but definitely not least…two of the Sennza staff are at South By Southwest this year! SXSW is a massive conference that pretty much takes over all of Austin, Texas. There are three streams: Music, Film and Interactive. We’re here for the Interactive stream because a stack of WordPress people come here every year. We always miss out on meeting a lot of these people as they are mostly American and never come to Australia So we decided that we’d come to them this year. We were lucky enough to bump into (read: stalk on Twitter) some diehard WordPress people this afternoon while they were in line waiting for their SXSW badges. We said a quick “G’day” to Mark Jaquith, Daryl Koopersmith, Evan Solomon, Chelsea Otakan and Sara Cannon. They were all lovely people…even though they were a little freaked out by some crazy Aussie WordPress people hunting them down in the line!

What’s next?

Over the next year we’ll be launching our own WordPress theme company, attending WordCamp New Zealand and WordCamp San Francisco, pumping out more high quality WordPress sites and hopefully growing our team further as well. It’s an exciting time to be a business who is “powered by WordPress” and I can’t wait to see what else unfolds over the course of the next year!

The post Sennza – 2 Years In appeared first on Sennza.

If you look inside most WordPress themes <head> tags, you will find a function called wp_head(). From a first glance, this function may seem fairly useless, however it is extremely important. A large percentage of plugins require the wp_head(); function to “hook” into the WordPress header. Without this code between your <head> and </head> tags, you may find that a large portion of your plugins will not work. Similar to wp_head(), you will find wp_footer() in the footer.php file of a majority of themes. This function is used by plugins to hook into your footer to hook code in. An example of something that requires this is Google Analytics.

2. Prefix your PHP functions

As a developer, it is considered best practice to prefix your PHP functions. There are numerous benefits from doing so. Besides being easier to read, you will also prevent yourself from clashing with other functions that plugins etc may create.

And poor example of prefixing your PHP functions is as follows
[php]

function foo_bar($foo){
…
}
[/php]
Instead, add a prefix to your function. Common prefixes are your initials, or a simple way to reference your site
[php]
function sennza_foo_bar($foo){
…
}
[/php]
The effort required for this is minimal but it can save you a lot of headaches down the road.

3. Use dummy content

The primary goal of most websites is to display content. While this is commonly known, it is surprising how many websites you will find that have no list styling or block quotes styled. An easy way to ensure that you style everything is to use dummy content.

What dummy content does is injects your WordPress website with various types of pages, posts and comments. From this dummy content you are able to easily see if there is anything you missed. Possibly you forgot to style the ordered list, or you didn’t style a right aligned image, this is no longer an issue with the dummy content.

A great resource to use is WP Dummy Content.

It is installed through the WordPress importer by uploading an XML file containing the various content pieces.

4. Start from a base

In order to save time, a large majority of developers prefer to code from an existing theme. There are two great base themes that are available that will ensure that you have got everything you need to begin creating your high quality theme. Take a look at Starkers Theme and the html5reset.org WordPress theme.

5. Keep it streamline

Keeping your theme streamline not only will save you time in creating stunning content, but it is good practice and you will thank yourself for it later. There are a few different situations that you can streamline your content, but the most important to me is in the thumbnail image.

If you cannot see the thumbnail image in your post editor, chances are that you haven’t enabled it in your theme. To do so, just add this snippet to your functions.php
[php]
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
[/php]

Now that you have posts with thumbnail images, you will want to take advantage of the add_image_size function. This handy function allows you to set different thumbnail image sizes for where the content is displayed. Setting different image sizes is simple with the use of the add_image_size function. Below where you added the theme support for post-thumbnails, place the following code:
[php]
add_image_size( $name, $width, $height, $crop );
[/php]

To simplify the above code, enter the name of your image size inside the brackets, for example ‘homepage-thumbnail’. After that, set your width and height and then whether you want to WordPress to crop the image. An example of a working add_image_size function would be:
[php]
add_image_size( ‘homepage-thumbnail’, 190, 190, true );
[/php]

Now to call the image at that size, all you have to do is place the following code inside your loop:
[php]
the_post_thumbnail( ‘homepage-thumbnail’ );
[/php]

If all went to plan, you should now see the resized version of your thumbnail. If you already had the thumbnail generated, you will need to regenerate the thumbnails. A good plugin for this is Regenerate Thumbnails.

6. Remove the links menu item

As WordPress is being used more an more for a full CMS website, as opposed to just a blog roll, some features are being used less and less. There is a new function that has been added to WordPress 3.1 that makes it quite easy to remove unwanted menu items. In this example, we will remove ‘Links’. Placing this in your functions.php will remove the unused menu item.
[php]
add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘my_admin_menu’ );

function my_admin_menu() {
remove_menu_page(‘link-manager.php’);
}
[/php]

You now have a cleaner Admin dashboard for yourself and other users!

7. Comment your code

Commenting your code will not only make it easier for you to reference back later on, but if another developer picks up your code they should be able to understand what you have done as it is written there for them. How you choose to comment is really a personal decision, I personally comment my code as follows
[php]
/*
Foobar …
========== */
[/php]

It is about finding what works for you and sticking to it. You may find that you need to reference back to how you did something in a project a few months later, and having comments there to remind you will save you a lot of time that you would otherwise spend wasting trying to work out how you solved the issue.

8. Don’t forget pagination

There are loads of amazing plugins in the official WordPress repository that handle pagination for you. If you are after a quick solution to a problem, then this will definitely do the job for you! WP-PageNavi is one of the most popular WordPress plugins, and is very well developed.

If you want to dig into the code yourself you, then you are looking for the paginate_links() function.

The default usage is shown here (taken from the WordPress Codex – paginate_links
[php]
php $args = array(
‘base’         => ‘%_%’,
‘format’       => ‘?page=%#%’,
‘total’        => 1,
‘current’      => 0,
‘show_all’     => False,
‘end_size’     => 1,
‘mid_size’     => 2,
‘prev_next’    => True,
‘prev_text’    => __(‘&laquo; Previous’),
‘next_text’    => __(‘Next &raquo;’),
‘type’         => ‘plain’,
‘add_args’     => False,
‘add_fragment’ =>  ); ?>
[/php]

Because the function takes all of the information needed to generate page links, you can use it for almost any pagination list. Here is some code to generate pagination links for an article archive:
[php]
// get total number of pages
global $wp_query;
$total = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
// only bother with the rest if we have more than 1 page!
if ( $total > 1 )  {
// get the current page
if ( !$current_page = get_query_var(‘paged’) )
$current_page = 1;
// structure of “format” depends on whether we’re using pretty permalinks
$format = empty( get_option(‘permalink_structure’) ) ? ‘&page=%#%’ : ‘page/%#%/’;
echo paginate_links(array(
‘base’ => get_pagenum_link(1) . ‘%_%’,
‘format’ => $format,
‘current’ => $current_page,
‘total’ => $total,
‘mid_size’ => 4,
‘type’ => ‘list’
));
}
[/php]

The above code results in the following HTML
[html]

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• …
• 10
• Next »

[/html]

9. Add excerpt functionality to pages

A great line of cool to have in your functions.php file is this snippet to add excerpt support to your pages. This is handy if you want to pull a snippet of text from a page and then place a read more. For example, on the homepage of your theme you may want to have some content from an about page with a link to read more. Rather then using a text-widget, you can simply query the page_id and call the post excerpt. This means less editing and its one less thing that the user has to worry about.
[php]
add_action( ‘init’, ‘my_add_excerpts_to_pages’ );
function my_add_excerpts_to_pages() {
add_post_type_support( ‘page’, ‘excerpt’ );
}
[/php]

You can now call the excerpt of pages into different areas of your website to assist in keeping it streamlined.

10. Theme Check using WP Theme Unit Test

The final step with any theme you create should be running it through the Theme Check plugin. This plugin will review your code and make sure that your code is up to standards, and that you are not using any depreciated functions or other mistakes. Once you have passed this, your theme is ready to be released!
