Post Thumbnail of [WordPress] How to Exclude Certain Categories From RSS Feed, Home, Search Page and More

Sometimes we need to exclude a few unimportant categories from our main feed or other pages. A quick search through the web, you will arrive at wprecipes’ tutorial, which unfortunately happens to be erroneous because wrong function was used (as of 15 Dec 2011). Anyway, in this blogpost I am gonna show how to exclude categories in RSS Feed, as well as Homepage, Search Page and more.

There are a number of ways to achieve what we want, but the best and cleanest method is to exclude using WordPress Action Hook.

PHP Smart Date Function – Display Time Elapsed (Difference) Based on a Given Timestamp

Post Thumbnail of PHP Smart Date Function - Display Time Elapsed (Difference) Based on a Given Timestamp

As a web developer, we often need to display dates in our website. As a web user myself, I don’t like to read full dates like “26 November 2011 11:30PM” because it takes me a little while to interpret the date. I prefer reading smart dates like “1 hour ago” or “6 months ago”. Therefore, here I wrote a quick and simple function in PHP that display the time difference/elapsed based on a given timestamp value.

This is a set of free social bookmark icons in cat-ears design. I made them when I am bored. They are ready to be downloaded and used right away. Change the colour of the icons using the “Hue/Saturation” layer to match your design. Hide the “cat ears” layer if you don’t like them :)

Post Thumbnail of Cannot Access Localhost After Editing etc/hosts and Flushing DNS Cache

I was developing a new website that uses Facebook Login as the membership system. I came across this situation where I needed to create a “fake” domain by editing the etc/hosts file. Somehow, after editing the etc/hosts file (following an online guide), I cannot seems to browse http://localhost in my browser anymore. However, I can still browse my local apache server using http://127.0.0.1

Legacy Facebook “Share” Button Codes (Bubble Count, Box Count and More)

Post Thumbnail of Legacy Facebook "Share" Button Codes (Bubble Count, Box Count and More)

Few months ago, Facebook removed the page that allow us to generate codes for their official “Share” button. They replaced it with “Like” button instead. While “Like” button is fast and easy but we cannot add our comment along with the “Like” action. Therefore, in some cases, we still need the old Share button. Fortunately, the sharer.php still exists, so we can add the Share button using Facebook’s official script.
