Capricorn, my first WordPress theme, has hit the 5000+ downloads mark. Just sayin’!

I started the theme a while back, and finished it now. Tell me what you think by either email, comments, or Twitter. Press Ctrl + F5 if you don’t see the changes.

Will be releasing it soon. I think.

I got an email today from Aaron, telling me to take a look at what he’s done with my WordPress theme Capricorn. What awesome tweaks he’s made! Definitely worth checking out.

If you’ve downloaded Capricorn and have tweaked it (not simple tweaks like changing the font)- contact me and I’ll take a look at it [and possibly post it].

Now, you all remember Big-Show.NET, right? Okay- so I’ve had thoughts of re-opening it. Would you like to see it back?

Capricorn hits 1000 more downloads.

1000 + 1000 = 2000

I’ve got a few people asking about how I got the seconds it took the page to load to display. Just wanna share the code:

1

<?php timer_stop(1); ?>  <?php echo $db->num_queries; ?>

Or you can simply use:

1

<?php echo('text before time' . timer_stop(0) . 'text after time'); ?>

HTML is allowed in text before time and text after time.

Works in a WordPress environment only.

Well as you may have seen, I’ve been changing themes quite frequently in the last few days. I decided to go back to Resurrection (my theme), and as I was looking through the comments code, I found this:

1

<p>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout" title="Log out of this account">Log out &raquo;</a></p>

What’s wrong with that you ask? If you’re on WordPress 2.7 (you better be), you’re gonna have a problem. In WordPress 2.7, you’ll notice there’s a wpnonce=x (x being random figures and letters) added to the logout URL. How do I get that when there’s a random figure there? Simple:

1

<p>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>" title="Log out of this account">Log out &raquo;</a></p>

See the difference? It’s the echo wp_logout_url();. That function gives you the whole URL with the wpnounce.

Just upgraded – WordPress 2.7.1!

Last month, I published a post about the WordPress functionthe_time('Y') and the PHP function date('Y')

Well as I was browsing through a few old posts, which were published in 2008, I noticed that the year date in the footer changed back to 2008. I changed it to

1

<?php echo date('Y'); ?>

Then it stayed as 2009! By the way, I know this can be figured out through common sense, but some lack it, this is obviously for disclaimers, footers etc. – NOT for posts.

Yup, the same WordPress that WordPress.com uses is available for download at http://mu.wordpress.org/download/.
