    Firstly, make sure you have the right features turned on. In WordPress go over to the top right of your screen and you’ll see “Screen Options”.  Make sure you have “Featured Image”, “Excerpt” and Custom Fields” each ticked.

    Now, after you’ve written your post (it doesn’t work on pages, just posts) and decided you want this post featured in the slider, do the following…

    This is all done while you’re in the “Add New Post” window

    Easily manage ALL your WP Sites

      Wow.

      There is a fairy-godmother after all, and her name is Vlad!

      I have a growing list of WordPress websites and it has been getting tedious updating each one of them and monitoring them, even with using a password manager to automatically login.

      Then along comes Vlad with a very cool tool.

       

       ManageWP is both a plugin (which authorises the software to centralise your sites) and a dashboard which not only shows an at-a-glance status of your sites but also has increased functionality. You can do bulk updates and upgrades, bulk posts and pages, and other activities including automated backups of your entire site – outstanding safety feature.

      And you never have to leave.

      From within the dashboard you can then step into any of yoru sites and do the usual stuff.

      Customising WEBFOLIO Theme – 1

        FEATURED PROJECT           Webfolio is a free theme for wordpress but the instructions are a little scant in places. As I find things out, I’m posting them here. To Change the words “featured project” in the slider on the front page: 1. Navigate to AppearanceEditor 2. Select “home.php” 3. Scroll down until you find the following line <div class=”featured”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/images/ico_star.png” alt=”Featured” /> FEATURED POST</div> 4. Change the words “FEATURED PROJECT” to whatever you want 5. Click ‘update file’ button and You’re Done Series : https://redhotinternetmarketing.com/blog/customising-webfolio-theme-1/ https://redhotinternetmarketing.com/blog/customising-webfolio-theme-2/ https://redhotinternetmarketing.com/blog/customising-webfolio-theme-3
