Hi All, I am using WordPress 2.3.1 as CMS (Most probably the Revolution theme). I have a vBulletin forum as well in the same website. I am new to WordPress and it will be great if any experts here can helps me with these doubts. 1) I want to include a RSS feed of Latest 10 forum posts in my WordPress home page. Can anyone tell me the easy way or the code for that ? 2) How to include the Tag Cloud on home page ? 3) The category listing in WordPress seems to be appearing in alphabetical order. Is there a way I can display the categories in the order I want ? Thanks in advance...
Ok here are the solutions for you... 1. For vB forum's latest 10 posts,there comes a mod in vB. You can check the coded which calls the function to it when its activated and then place it in Wordpress Sidebar (But the vB & WP database needs to be one for this). 2. In order to include TAG CLOUDs,there are many plugins for Wordpress. You can use this one, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configurable-tag-cloud-widget/#post-2622 Im using it since 4 months. 3. Yes,there must be a plugin Category Order in your Plugins directory for that Alphabetical Order for categories. Just DEACTIVATE it and then your categories,you can place as you like it. Hope,my lines have helped you.. Thanks... Regards, JOOMLA DUDE...
Sorry, but I did not understand. Can't we just create an RSS feed with latest 10 posts ? The some RSS URL comes like below (sample) :- http://www.samplesite.com/index.php?act=rssout&id=1 Can't we include this RSS feed in a small code block and display on WordPress page ? It's a new installation of WordPress in my site and I did not yet install ANY plug-ins. I think WordPress by default displays the categories in alphabetical order.
1. Go to on WP-Admin, go to Design>Widgets and add an RSS Widget to your sidebar and add the feed you want (in this case the latest 10 posts of your forum) there. If you want to add it somewhere else, you need to use an aggregator like FeedWordpress 2. You can use a tag cloud plugin to install it on your Sidebar. If you want to add it somewhere else, edit your template to add the code 3. Take down the widget or if there's no widget go to WP-Admin > Design > Theme Editor > [name of your sidebar php file] and look for or just search for the category. Use this as a guide so you can customize how your category listings will look: Category Tag
