10 Hacks for WordPress
Sprye Studios has published a terrific article entitled, “10 Must Have Hacks For WordPress Development“. None of the hacks require installing a WordPress plug-in. Instead, the hacks involve applying minor changes to one (or more) PHP files (e.g. sidebar.php or single.php) associated with the theme that your WP site uses. The hacks include:
- Showing Related Posts (based on related tags)
- Showing Popular Posts In Your Sidebar
- Insert Google Ads With WordPress Shortcodes.

Hey, that’s a great tip – thanks! This is my first Wordpress site but it’s taking me a while to really figure it all out – there’s just so many plugins, themes, and options! But you can totally see the power. Hopefully it doesn’t take forever for me to setup next time. Anyhow… nice site – I’m subscribed to your RSS feed now so I’ll check in more often!
