Integrate nyroModal jquery plugin into your blogs. Open images and native galleries on the same window without touching the html code. Wp-nyro is very simple WordPress plugin. It can be easily integrate into your front-end blogs.

Integration

Once you have activated the plugin, it will open the images in the nyro modal. If you want to decide not to use this modal for a particular image you have the option in the backend. See the below attached figure.

Please click on the above image and check how it works.

In the plugin I have used jQuery which is already available with your WordPress installation and jquery.nyroModal.js.

How to find the missed URLs easily?

It is easy to find the missed URLs. First of all we have to make sure that our blog or website has 404 page. Otherwise you can find how to create a 404 in wordpress blogs from here.

Now, after creating the 404, we can add a simple code snippet like this inside between the header and footer and should look like this.

What it will do?

For each 404 returns it will send email to your admin email account. It is simply cool right?

First of all we need to insert the scripts necessary for creating the Thickbox. As I said earlier, WordPress is using jQuery and Thickbox already in its backend. So we just need to call the jquery and thickbox.

All these 3 lines of code should insert just before the < ? php wp_head( ) ; ? > function

These codes will include necessary files for your Thickbox. So Thickbox is ready for its functioning. Make sure that you have included < ? php wp_head ( ) ; ? > and < ? php wp_footer( ); ? > in your header and footer files respectively.

Now we can test it by uploading the image from backend by creating a post. Please note that after the image got uploaded, we need to link the thumbnail image to the original image. And we need to include the class for the anchor tag like this. class=”thickbox”.

Just save the post and see it in your blog.

[update: Somebody asked me how we can enable the Next and previous button on the thickbox. For getting that functionality we need to add rel="thickbox-demo" or rel="something" next to the thickbox class. So it will look like this

Yesterday I have tried several times to upload multiple files upload in wordress file upload.

But it was not success. It will show the crunching bar all the time.

After some search I found a solution. I added .htaccess file in the wp-admin root. (www.yousite.com/wp-admin/) The content of the .htaccess file should look like this

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

This will disable mod_security for the upload file receiving code in the wp-admin directory.

Now I can upload multiple files.

If you would like to enrich your blog, you have to install some plugins. There are a lot of plugins are available. Even though I think the below listed plugins are very essential for a good blog site. I am just introducing some essential plugins for WordPress

All in one SEO pack will optimize your blog automatically. All in SEO pack has a lot of options. I am listing a few here.

• Automatic title - Browser window title very important in the view of Search Engines. By default there is a chance of generating duplicate titles by wordpress. All in SEO pack will overcome this issue by generating titles for each page. Otherwise you can give yourself by a good title.
• Automatic descriptions –  All in SEO will generate automatic descriptions if you forget to create the meta description. Meta description is also important in SEO. 
• Automatic Keywords - All in one SEO pack can generate keywords from categories or the keywords specified from user. 
• Duplicate content - It avoids the duplicate content found on wordpress blogs

It also has some backward compatibility with other plugins like meta data, Ultimate tag warrior and others. So don’t forget to install All in One SEO pack. Download it from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

But all tables should be in the same Databse. There you can download the back up or keep it into the server or your can email the back up.
