How to change “Blogroll” to “Links” in Wordpress

Posted by Devang Gandhi on April 26th, 2008

I don’t like the term “Blogroll” for my links in wordpress. I would rather call it “Links”.

To change the name of the category “Blogroll” in the wordpress admin, go to Blogroll -> Categories and click Edit for the Blogroll category. In the next screen you can change the name and the slug from Blogroll to whatever name you like.

P.S. I have done this on Wordpress 2.3.2

How to enable comments on Wordpress Pages?

Posted by Devang Gandhi on February 1st, 2008

You can use wordpress as a simple Content Management System for a non-blog website. That’s what I am doing on one of my other websites. But I wanted to enable comments on my static pages. I figured just by enabling “Allow comments” under “Discussion” did not work. Then I found this wordpress.org thread

All you need to do is edit the “Page Template” and insert the following code

<?php if ((‘open’ == $post-> comment_status)) { comments_template(); } ?>

somewhere in between the following two lines.

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
 

HTML sitemap Wordpress plugin

Posted by Devang Gandhi on January 18th, 2008

Ever wondered how easy it is to create the “Site Map” page on your website? Well, if you are using wordpress, you are in luck. This wordpress sitemap plugin creates a sitemap for your WordPress powered site. It is an HTML sitemap generator (unlike the XML ones) which is highly customizable from the WordPress admin panel.
