Add any link to your WordPress navigation menu with Page Links To

A common problem. You wanna add a link in your topbar menu but is not possible. Permalinks are not editable in full, pages are added automatically to the topbar menu, and so on. Ok, the neat solution is the Page Links to plugin. It simply adds a new option in the Pages editor with a form input field for adding any external link you wanna use instead a post or page.

Install the plugin (you have two options, go direct to the plugin author page, or search for it inside WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add new > Search) and all is one. The next time you edit a page or Post you will have a field with the link option.

How to change line spacing in a WordPress widget?

questions and answers No Responses »
Jul 082010

The whole site looks great, except that I need to use the “Recent Posts” widget and it’s double spacing the lines on every recent post. How can I change it to single line spacing?

Where would I go on there to make the change, and how?

Please – no “portal” sites, “coder” sites (whatever that means) or “project management” sites. Thanks!

Best reply by dhvrm:

There are several “Recent Posts” plung-ins for WordPress, several of which use the name “Recent Posts”, so it’s difficult to determine which you are using.

Also, you don’t indicate if you have used the widget tool in the Dashboard to place the widget, or if you have hard-coded PHP to place it, which makes it difficult to tell you how to fix the issue.

Finally, without seeing the HTML being produced by the widget, we can’t tell you how to style the elements to reduce the spacing.

1. Get the actual name of the plugin. Better yet, post a link to it, either in the WordPress Codex or the developer’s site.

2. Repost this as a new question and include a link to your blog so we can see what it’s doing.

I have free wp blog and i have like a theme witch it’s not included in the 70 wp free themes that you can easily pick from the admen, can i put that theme on my free blog and how ?

Best reply by Mac Lover:

1st: Download the theme to your desktop, remember the location, extract it to a folder
2nd: Use your FTP software, such as core ftp and upload the theme to
wp-content/themes
3rd: Go to wordpress dashboard, u must login first and go to appearance/themes and activate your themes. Then you are good to go…

You must know how to upload things though. Hope that helps

Our own review:

Latest WordPress versions (from 2.9 and up) have the ability of installing new themes from the Dashboard, uploading a zip file. No FTP needed, so if you have a current WordPress version, the process is simply. Download the theme (usually a zip file), save it in a local folder in your computer, enter the admin area of your blog and use the Install theme option. Activate it and that’s all.

If you cannot upload a new theme in WordPress.com, use your own hosting. Some hosting companies offers very affordable plans nowadays.
