Meta Tag Styling on WordPress

February 13, 2012

0

XO Theme for WordPress Styling After each post, we display Tag, Category and RSS references. They are not part of the actual post; they are of a rather technical nature and may help visitors to find contextual content on the site. The SEO impact of publishing such Meta Information is discussable. Styling the Author Name We want to display the author’s name underneath the main title in small but remarkable fonts: .post .meta, .hentry .meta,.post .meta a, .hentry .meta a { color:#111111;letter-spacing:5px; } Note: we just use letter-spacing to gain visibility.   Bottom Tags Usually these meta tags are printed in small print, often difficult to read. For the purpose of this exercise we have switched to a serif font (Times) and increased letter spacing for better readability: .storycontent .postmetadata, .storycontent .tags { font-family: Times, "Times New Roman",serif; font-variant:small-caps; font-size:16px; line-height:1.1em;color:#101010; letter-spacing:2.5px; } .storycontent .postmetadata a, .storycontent .tags a{ color:#000000; } Nothing really exciting here: we are using small-caps (alternatively upper-cases) and letter-spacing of 2.5px.Note that letter-spacing can take decimal values. The fun is in experimenting with font, colors and styles!   Related posts: WordPress Date Styling Custom Typography on Semiomantics XO Theme for WordPress Related posts: WordPress Date Styling Custom Typography on Semiomantics XO Theme for WordPress Related posts: XO Theme Typography WP Author Blog by Semiomantics WordPress Seminar by Ycademy WordPress for Authors Seminar Semiomantics WordPress based Frameworks

Visit the original article at http://yorgonestoridis.com/yorgo-nestoridis-development/wordpress-yorgo-nestoridis-development/how-to-show-a-search-box-on-the-wordpress-navigation/.WordPress Menu with Search Box Customize your WordPress Navigation (Menu) by adding a search box. As WordPress provides hooks and filters, it is relatively simple to customize many aspects of WordPress based sites, by just adding functions and styling them. Add a search Box to the WordPress Menu The principle is simple: if your theme does not provide this function, just add it to your functions.php and then was the case may be, style it by adding a few lines of code to your style sheet. Adding a Search Box to Semiomantics XO for WordPress Here is the function call, which will work on most any WordPress Theme: add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','add_search_box', 10, 2); function add_search_box($items, $args) { ob_start(); get_search_form(); $searchform = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); $items .= '<li>' . $searchform . '</li>'; return $items; } If you would style the search box, just add a new div class to the list item, for example: add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','add_search_box', 10, 2); function add_search_box($items, $args) { ob_start(); get_search_form(); $searchform = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); $items .= '<li class="sbox">' . $searchform . '</li>'; return $items; } Note the class=“sbox” on line 9.
