foreach($myposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>

<img width=”120″ height=”120″ <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<div class=”latest_news_box”>
<h3><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

It is very important to keep up to date your WordPress because of security threats, specially now a days due to its popularity. Although WordPress function pop you up all the time for new update version to automatically update it or through providing download link at the top of WordPress admin panel, as well  a link on the update page where you can automatically install the new available version.

In case, you are using WordPress for your client or have made lots of customizations on core WordPress files, then might not want this message to displayed, because it will overwrite all the files and client site will lost all the changes.

So there are few option to hide it from dashboard through some function adding in function.php file, by using  WordPress plugin to hide this message and manually removing the code from WordPress core file. Different bloggers had provided the solution on their bog like like as follow:

1. Just Open functions.php file from wordpres theme and put following code in that file: (from wordpressapi)

add_action('admin_menu','hide_update_message');
function hide_update_message()
{
remove_action( 'admin_notices', 'update_nag', 3 );
remove_filter( 'update_footer', 'core_update_footer' );
}

2. All you have to do is simply open the theme’s functions.php file and add this: (wpbeginner)

add_action('admin_menu','wphidenag');
function wphidenag() {
remove_action( 'admin_notices', 'update_nag', 3 );
}

3. To get rid of the “Please update now” message in your WordPress dashboard, simply paste the following code on your functions.php file. (wprecipes)

if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) ) {
  add_action( 'init', create_function( '$a', "remove_action( 'init', 'wp_version_check' );" ), 2 );
  add_filter( 'pre_option_update_core', create_function( '$a', "return null;" ) );
}

4. You can optionally put this code with a condition so that the update message will only be shown to the site admin or other user roles depending of the if-statement in the code snippet below. (fredrikmalmgren)

function hideUpdateNag() {
    remove_action( 'admin_notices', 'update_nag', 3 );
}
if ( !current_user_can('activate_plugins') ) {
    add_action('admin_menu','hideUpdateNag');
}

5. Removing the update message is very straightforward to do – simply add the following lines of code to your functions.php file:(vooshthemes)

remove_action('wp_version_check', 'wp_version_check');
remove_action('admin_init', '_maybe_update_core');
add_filter('pre_transient_update_core', create_function( '$a', "return null;"));

All the above almost do the same thing, If still not satisfied requirments you can use WordPress Plugin to hide “WordPress Upgrade Message” from users and clients dashboard.

Hide Update Reminder

This plugin allows you to hide the update WordPress reminder from all users that are not assumed Administrators (cannot upgrade plugins).

If you have multiple users then this means those who are not admins don’t need to see the message. Useful for CMS based sites, so the client doesn’t see the notice.

Detail

If you want to display notifications to your user when you update something or when you wish to make an announcement. The plugin
“WP update notifier“ is simple yet effective and extremely usefull.

Disable WordPress Core Update

Completely disables the core update checking system in WordPress. The plugin prevents WordPress from checking for updates, and prevents any notifications from being displayed in the admin area. Ideal for administrators of multiple WordPress installations.

Equal height columns have been a need of web designers forever. If all the columns share the same background, equal height is irrelevant because you can set that background on a parent element.

I had to design a Vertical Scrolling news ticker for my client. Initially,  I thought it’s hard to figure it out, but thanks to a tutorial “ Create A Vertical Scrolling News Ticker With jQuery and jCarousel Lite“.  I learnt from this tutorial along with other and  modified  the code and made it into something I wanted, hope this would help you too.

First thing first, how to Including jQuery in WordPress (The Right Way)? WordPress already includes a copy of jQuery. Here is how you can load up jQuery in your theme the smart (and intended) way. Put the following code in header.php file in the <head> section:

<?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?>  <?php wp_head(); ?>

How to Add JCarousel Lite to WordPress
How to Create a jQuery Carousel with WordPress

jCarousel Lite is tiny but powerful plugin and with it you can easily add/tweak/configure  News ticker part on your Website. After including jQuery Carousel into you WordPress theme, now need to create style and html code to run image gallery or News on your website. Follow these steps to  Create A Vertical Scrolling News Ticker on WordPress With jQuery Carousel.

Step 1

Create a new <div> in your style sheet, which should include container for the news ticker and style of the text and heading. As well, a very important <div> class name that must b same class name when you configure jCarousel Lite in your theme. In my case I have created “latestnews-jcarousellite”, as you can see bellow:

/* ======= Latest News ===================*/
#latest-news {
width:268px;
padding:0px 0px 8px;
float:right;
margin:0 !important;
min-height:100px;
}
#latest-news a { text-decoration:none; }
#latest-news .title {
text-align:center;
font-size:14px;
font-weight:bold;
padding:2px;
}
.latestnews-jcarousellite { width:100px; }
.latestnews-jcarousellite ul li{ list-style:none; display:block; padding-bottom:1px; margin-bottom:2px; }
.clear { clear: both; }

Step2

Create a News category and get its id number, hope you know how to get it, after creating some news post for created category, add a loop where you want to display News ticker. In my case i wanted to display it in side bare and  have added the following code in my theme sidebar:

<div id="latest-news">
<h2>Latest News </h2>
<p> Find out our latest orders, clients and customer feedback! </p>
<div id="latestnews-jcarousellite">
<ul>
<?php query_posts("showposts=5&cat=32"); $i = 1; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li> <a class="title" rel="bookmark" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul> </div>

Step 3

After adding loop’s posts  and configure the jCarousel. Under the<head> or  in sidebar.php file  add following price of script:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() {
jQuery("#latestnews-jcarousellite").jCarouselLite({
vertical: true,
speed: 1000,
visible:5,
auto:500
});
});
</script>

Where visible number  must be equal to showposts number, <div id=”latestnews-jcarousellite”> must be same.  The “auto:500? means it will auto-scroll every 500ms. There are a lot of options read the documentation for more information and configuration.

If you are running a blog on WordPress than you should convert it into a community blog by allowing your visitors to participate on your blog. There are mainly two ways that you can use to run a social friendly blog. Firstly, Allow them to make a post or share a news on your blog from the Front end. Secondly, Allow them to vote on blog’s content.

WordPress Plugins for Front end posting and Editing

For those who are not familiar with WordPress dashboard, for guest writers, authors, WordPress have the capabilities to make a post and to edit it from front end. Lost of users find it difficult and often give up on posting. So its very necessary for those sites which heavily relay on user-generated content,  such as reviews or community news, can be a formidable challenge. I’ve complied a list of plugins that will help to virtually eliminate this problem.

Gravity Forms

This plugin allows users to automatically create a post, among many other things. When added to a form, the post fields create a post when the form is submitted. It’s great for user-submitted stories, job postings, directories, etc. and comes with professional support.

Detail

Post From Site

This new wordpress plugin allows you to post straight from your front-end (i.e. website) – perfect for a quick update! Also useful if you have multiple users and don’t need them to see the admin side of things. It creates a link on your website which, when clicked, will bring up a simple text-box. Users can enter a post title (required), content (also required), add categories and tags (including created new ones), and upload images. Images can be placed in your post with custom tags ([!--image1--]), or all appended to the end of the post.

Front-end Editor

Front-end Editor is a plugin that lets you make changes to your contentdirectly from your site. No need to load the admin backend just to correct a typo.

Goals:

• save as many trips to the backend as possible
• compatible with any theme, out of the box
• light and fast

You can edit posts, pages, custom post types, comments, widgets and manymore elements.

Quick Post Widget

This plugin provides a widget to post directly from the frontend of your site without going into the backend. The widget optionally offers visual editing while posting from the frontend, with a bunch of features (media uploading, spellchecking, preview,….)!
Guest posting can be enabled with optional captcha security. Apart from post title, content and categories, tags, custom fields, custom taxonomies, post date and excerpt can optionally be entered. You can easily add images or video-clips to your posts without using the backend of your site.

Inline Editor

Adds the capacity to edit your content from the front end of your WordPress blog using the styling of your blog.

Using the excellent and lightweight NicEdit WYSIWYG editor component to give you full control over the look.

The main advantages over editing this way over the traditional method is that you can see your content exactly how it will appear using all the styles and formatting of your WordPress template, plus it’s far more convenient this way.

One Quick Post

One Quick Post is a WordPress/BuddyPress plugin that allows you to enable frontend posting on your blog; including for non-registered users.

FE-Editor inline

The famous Front-end editor by scribu http://scribu.net is changed only by CSS to an real inline editor. After login into backoffice and going back to your front end you can edit your texts by double click as in scribu’s front-end editor. But now your editor panel is fixed above in your browser’s left corner and always present and the page looks as before but now you can write in it. Above that edit panel you find an edit button – if your template supplies the class post-edit-link for it – for going into backend making the job you can’t do with the small editor.

WP User Frontend

Some of us want something like that the subscriber/contributor will not be able to go in the wordpress backend and everything these user can control will be done from wordpress frontend.

WordPress Plugins for Voting on posts

Get vote on your post to get more exposer for social bookmarking. All you have to do is to  give your readers the ability to rate content on your site.

Simple Star Rating

Coherent the image in context

Just like the the filename and alt text, Google also uses the content of the webpage to determine what an image is about. So try to make connection between images and content for better SERPs.
