Demo 1: Demo 1: Modifying The Wordpress’ Core Files

How to change some html codes on my search form?

It’s just a piece of cake!

If you don't have searchform.php in your

Theme, WordPress will render its built-in

search form. If you do have it in your

Theme, it will be used instead.

Demo 2: Demo 2: Using Function Reference

How to show some certain elements only if any single post being displayed?

Simply put this conditional tag right before stuff you want to show:

is_single(); // When any single Post page is being displayed.

is_single('17'); // When Post 17 (ID) is being displayed.

is_single('Irish Stew'); // When the Post with post_title of "Irish Stew" is being

displayed.

is_single('beef-stew'); // When the Post with post_name (slug) of "beef-stew" is

being displayed.

is_single(array(17,'beef-stew','Irish Stew')); // Returns true when the single post being displayed is either post ID 17, or the post_name is "beef-stew", or the post_title is "Irish Stew".

How to show my latest tweets without using plugins?

Paste the below in your functions.php file:

function wp_echoTwitter($username){ include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php'); $tweet = fetch_rss("http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:" . $username . "&rpp=1"); echo $tweet->items[0]['atom_content']; }

Now just paste the following in your theme file where you want your Twitter post to appear:

<?php wp_echoTwitter(‘abanesta’); ?>

Obviously replace my username with yours. Now you’re done! Style it however you like with HTML and CSS.
