WordPress 3.4, code name “Green”, has just been released. Protect your assets, make your site faster and even easier to use. Your custom WordPress theme and plugins will require testing and possible tweaks to take advantage of the latest update. You and our clients are encouraged to contact Whitten Design now for an update assessment.

A much better solution than Boot Camp. With Parallels Desktop for Mac 7 I can now open Windows 7 in a separate window — really speeds-up WordPress development and testing. Looks like an upgrade to MAMP Pro is next.

If you want to add category and client templates to the WordPress plugin Simple Portfolio (by Patrick Brouwer) make sure you use the custom Taxonomies created by the plugin.

To find the two taxonomies that you’ll need go to the plugin’s folder and open simple-portfolio.php and search for “taxonomy”. You’ll fine the two that you’ll need:

• portfolio-clients
• portfolio-categories

In order to get my new template files to work in my theme I named my files this:

• taxonomy-portfolio-categories.php
• taxonomy-portfolio-clients.php

Hope this helps.

For new WordPress users, my short Goggle search did not find anything on this but this is what’s going on.

If you click on “Comments RSS” and you get a page saying “…could not update this feed because the source file is no longer available.” don’t worry.

I just means you don’t have any current comments attached to any of your post. Once someone comments on a post (and you approve the comment) you’ll see your Comments RSS feed.

Of course if you don’t delete the standard “Hello World” post and it’s comment you’ll never come across this problem.

Hope this helps.
