Buried in WordPress plugins

28 June 2005

It’s dangerous to browse the WordPress plugins site because the next thing you know you’ll be downloading and activating them.

I decided to clean up my sidebar a little bit by taking the links I had and putting them each on a separate page. This was easy enough to do, I just had to put a little php code on the page:
< ?php wp_get_links(6); ?>
where “6″ is the numeric ID of my links category. However, to get the code to run rather than just display, I had to install the RunPHP plugin, which adds an option to “eval() Content” in the compose interface.

The only pain about this is having to update the mod_rewrite rules (I didn’t want to change permissions on my .htaccess file).

I also switched to a modified cat2tag plugin. Cat2tag lets me assign keywords to posts a la technorati and flickr for on-the-fly category creation. The modified version lets me include spaces in the tags.
