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

Devang Gandhi — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:13:35 +0000

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?

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

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

somewhere in between the following two lines.

if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

endwhile; endif; ?>

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.
