I'm creating a dig like site with wordpress, TDO Mini forms and Vote it up where people who live in the city can log on, post their ideas of how to improve the city and have others vote.
on the home page there are 2 columns. right is the TDO submit form. left are the "Most Wanted" items. the posts with the highest rating. I've found an impressive lack of information on this plugin. im not great with php but i can make do most of the time.
I want to output the post title, post author, links for yes and no votes as well as have the titles in the left column list in most popular order. preferably id like the home pages to have only the top 5 or so highest rated posts.
I cant find any way to output that information as i need. I was really hoping there was a simple way to call the highest rated post titles in the loop for the main page but there doesnt seem to be a way. Bout the only thing i've found is the DisplayVotes tag which isnt incredibly helpful.
does anybody know how i can accomplish this, or can provide some expert advise? help would be immensely appreciated.
I was ready to download your plugin. Too bad it is not done.

if I sell a product from the backend, not from the shop front-end, I would like to change the price for this order only, not in the product table.
I have searched for variable-price products but cannot find anything that fits my needs.
I found variations and discount rules but I just want to change the price when I make an invoice from the backend, maybe through a dummy product where I can change the description too.
Anyone an idea if this is possible?
With the POS systems I support (Chromis) or in front accounting this is possible.
BTW if someone has a link to a WooCommerce-forum where users help users I would be happy.

thanks for the reaction.
I have got an answer from another forum, in Woocommerce one has to enter the order first and afterwords the price is editable.
You cannot see this straight away, first you must put the mouse in the part with the positions, then the pencil to edit appears.
Not the most elegant way but usable.
And i did found more forums.

I'm giving a shot to rebuilding the newsletter-maker for my wife's company. The prime issue is setting it up to always/automatically, say, link to the 3 most recent posts on their blog.
I can imagine how to start doing with with Rails and Javascript (my areas of "expertise" as a relatively amateur coder), except for the part where I have absolutely no idea where I would get this stream of posts.
The site (and thus the blog) is on Drupal. I know so zero about Drupal that I'm not 100% sure what "on Drupal" actually means. But I googled Drupal API and it's too vast for me to know where to start, and searching "blog" on the API site doesn't return anything helpful.
PS. I do know how to work with APIs. Once I find one!
PPS. Is this just a matter of working with RSS feeds? (Which I also don't know how to do but I imagine it's easy to find an answer)
You can implement an RSS feed with the Views module.
In short, you would have to take the following steps:
create a view of the blog posts. Use filter criteria to select only published posts, and sort criteria to sort blogposts from most recent to older.
add a display 'Feed'
Under 'Feed settings' specify a path.
That's it. For more detailed tutorial, see e.g this link (disclaimer: I'm not the author of the referred blogpost).
Finally, extract the latest three RSS items with your newsletter-maker.
OK so I know this isn't exactly a code-specific question, but I'm out of luck in my research to find a way to make a search only product in WordPress using WooCommerce. I have 10,000 products I need to have available to buy on the website, however the majority of them are very small and specific. SO I need a way to have products on my website that aren't visible in the catalog, but can be found by search, specifically by their part numbers. This seems like a common occurrence in the world of eCommerce so perhaps there is already a way to do this in WooCommerce and I'm just missing it. Or does anyone know of a plugin that will achieve this?
Anything will help, thanks!
I think there are many plugins that can help you with this. Try for example this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-woo-search/
I want to offer my visitors some freebies, but I want them to be available only on the website's feed (to promote it). In others words, I don't want it to appear as a normal post on my website, but only on the feeds.
Is there any way of doing that? I know how to edit my theme files if needed, but if there's a plugin that does the job, the better.
Please note, the offer will only available on the feed, not through mail-lists, etc.
This isn't a programming answer -- unless you specifically want to ask programming-related WordPress questions, you may well be better off asking on wordpress.stackexchange.com/ -- but I'd just use a plugin like the Advanced Category Excluder. You can specify any category of post to be excluded from the archive/home/search pages, or the feed.
So, install the plugin, put the posts you want to be feed-only in a particular category, and configure the Category Excluder to exclude that category from everything except the feed.
There are many plugins that will append things to the feed, such as:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/copyfeed/
That's probably the way to go if you want to offer freebies at the bottom of each post. If you want entire posts, look for some kind of category excluder like:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simply-exclude/
One issue you'll run into, however, is that at some point someone will start scraping your feed and republishing it in an autoblog. That's true of anything you do, though.
First, I've only programmed a lot of HTML, know a little PHP and am playing with Wordpress, experimenting and learning it the way I learn everything else, trial and error, heavy on the error.
The subject line isn't very clear I'm sure. I have a site set up for writing. The posts act as categories and to a Page menu for static submissions. All posts, in the theme show up on page 1, 2, etc. Great.
What I'm trying to figure out and want is this. I want a separate section of Posts just for one topic, in this case movie reviews. So the main section of the site is general posting. I want a separate section where users can post to their hearts content but have those movie posts REMAIN in one section and not be mixed in with the "general population." Ok, they click on the Movie Review link on the main page. This takes them to the Site Admin where they can write a review in TinyMCE and Publish it. IS there a way that these Posts can show up in a section of their own?
I've even installed a second WP site for this purpose. Wonderful, but now I have to transfer all registered users there and any new ones. That's insane. Plus, the user would have to log in twice, once for the original and once for the Movie WP. Also unacceptable.
If I'm on the wrong site to ask this question, let me know and my apologies. Otherwise, some guidance would keep me from my endless Google search.
You can use Categories to mimic this. So your movie reviews would be at mysite.com/category/movie-reviews/. You would then modify index.php to exclude the movie reviews category from the main page.
If you're comfortable with using php, you could instead use custom post types. This is a better solution, but would require more custom coding. The bottom of the Codex page I linked to has some excellent walkthroughs on using CPTs.
