Need to add varied styles to rows, but don’t want to program it in the backend? Or add ID numbers to rows in order to setup toggles?

Brute Protect settings within JetPack add security against malicious login attempts. Occasionally, these settings can lock the login page completely, even with your IP address added to the whitelist.

Use the following snippet to return the Featured (starred) Products from the WooCommerce Product listing.

When using Variable Products in WooCommerce, the default “Choose an option” text is pretty boring. You can use a function to customize it to match your specific offered Products.

Enable auto-scrolling to error messages in Gravity Forms by adding the following snipped to functions.

I work with Theme my Login and build member-based content areas within websites a lot. Often, the login forms that I use do not bring in the JetPack Protect prompt automatically, and users will have to submit the form two or three times in order to successfully login (once to see the humanity check, once to login, and possibly a third time depending on cache and browser settings).

Similar to WPML, you can create if statements using WP Multilang

Ever thought about customizing Time.ly’s All-in-One Event Calendar layouts on your website?

Twig reminds me of liquid, but it’s more difficult to understand. It took me a while to find an example of how to do this, so I’m not losing it!

A type of layout you might use to compare service types offered by your client may require you to toggle back and forth via a button.

Use the below example to custom format the date displayed when querying Tribe events. 

If you’re offering free downloadable items on your website, and don’t require site visitors to register for access to the items, you can use the following snippet to add a download link to your single-product template.

Use ‘eventDisplay’ => ‘list’ in conjunction with the WordPress backend Settings for Tribe Events Calendar to prevent recurring events from showing up in custom loops.

Putting this here so that I don’t have to keep Googling and bookmarking them.

Enjoy! 🙂

Typically, I use classes like .desktop, .tablet, and .mobile combined with media queries to switch between different-sized elements when building a website, in order to avoid loading the high resolution images on the handheld devices.

I find the class method a little tedious, and not as intuitive as I would like, so I’ve been looking for alternate ways to perform these transitions.

I’ve run into a couple of issues where a website will break due to the site being SSL secured but the stylesheet refusing to load as SSL.

Sourced here, this handy snippet can help you update your theme templates to show multiple organizers.

You can take this further, and modify the code to display it this information in a loop, or within a themed version of the template.

Tribe Events Calendar is a very user friendly plugin, and I highly recommend it for WordPress beginners.

Within the WordPress backend, Tribe’s settings and posts do not have an option to customize the Website URL, Organizer URL, and Venue URL to make them open in new windows.

Use the follow snippet to remove the text, or update it with your own heading:

Theme my login can enhance members’ functionality for multi-lingual websites if you use the following snippet to redirect the login form to the appropriate language.

Sometimes, when working with designers, the content of a multilingual website will end up on a single landing page. In this event, using suppress_filters to get_posts associated with the active language will provide posts in both languages, and not provide the side-by-side translation effect desired.

Tribe Events Calendar is a great plugin, that has a lot of very simple queries you can use to create calendar feeds within your templates.

If you have an event on your website, and a calendar that’s launching before weeks (or even months) before the event is taking place, you can use a function to setup a start date for your calendar. The Calendar’s default page views (month, day, list) will load starting from the date entered in the function.

Gravity forms is great an excellent plugin, and has tons of addons that you can use to further enhance it’s functionality on your website.

Use this foreach loop (inside of a query) to grab Product galleries from WooCommerce.

If you’re working with WooCommerce add-ons (e.g., Bundles), use this function to cycle between different WooCommerce Product Types, in order to display queries and functions in specific templates (operates similar to an if statement).

Coupon Creator Pro is a great plugin to highlight offers and deals available to your customers on your website. The coupons come with different themes available, allow for both image and text injection, and are responsive, as well as printable.

The default placeholder image in WooCommerce does not adjust according to image changes made within the Settings (e.g., changing the number of columns from 4 to 3 will result in a smaller placeholder image).

Gravity Forms is a powerful plugin!

Using this function, display values in the select dropdown field dynamically, based on parameters you set in the foreach loop.

This snippet will allow the Single product layout to display in the same layout as your installed theme.

This is a great way to get trigger content loading on the page automatically. Visitors can then use filters enabled in the Search Filter to customize their search.

BloodForge Smoke Effect Plugin is easy to setup and integrate in html and WordPress websites. Based on a particle smoke effect posted by Jonny Cornwell.

Can be used to apply a smoke / fog effect to a div as a background, or using canvas. Includes support for modern browsers (will slow down page loading).

Useful snippet to gather additional information about site visitors for forms that do not capture a lot of data.

Will honour user settings if IP address is set to private or reserved.

Add one of these snippets to functions.php if you’d like to customize your WooCommerce product content.

This really comes in handy when you’re using specific language on your website for Usernames or need to add in additional fields at signup.

When enabling multiple tax amounts in Woocommerce, ensure that you change the priority of each Tax Amount entered, in order to make sure the taxes will render separately at checkout!

Sometimes you don’t want your clients to know that updates are needed. When Woocommerce is paired with powerhouse plugins like WPML, older versions can be difficult to update, and you should tread lightly: with backups.

If you’ve ever encountered this error while using NextScripts SNAP, you know that’s it’s not very simple to resolve:

When using Slick on Android, you may find that the vertical scrolling, or site progression, becomes inaccessible if you have a full-width slider.

Customize the output to match your theme.

Often, the WordPress Plugin Multiple Post Thumbnails is used within the page.php and single.php templates, and few conflicts arise.
