Using multiple versions of jQuery on the same page

Can I use multiple versions of jQuery on the same page?
Yes!

Thankfully, jQuery’s noConflict function comes to the rescue.

Then, instead of using $(‘#selector’).function();,
you can use jQuery_1_7_1(‘#selector’).function();
or jQuery_1_4_4(‘#selector’).function();

WordPress Pagination Not Working: Solution

If you use query_post function on a theme’s homepage, you might land up messing up with the pagination function of WordPress.

Here is the quick fix to wordpress pagination (Next Previous Posts) function:

1. Add up the following line of code just BEFORE the query_post() function:

$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

2. Add the variable $paged to your query_post function (notice the extra variable at the end of the query post function):

query_posts('orderby=date&order=DESC&posts_per_page=5&cat=blog&paged='.$paged);

Creating a Custom Post Type in WordPress

Creating a custom post types in WordPress is very simple. All you need to do is register the custom post type.

Copy the function below to your theme’s function.php file

The function below adds a custom post type “Ideas” with the same columns. 

register_post_type('ideas', array(
	'label' => __('Ideas'),
	'singular_label' => __('Ideas'),
	'public' => true,
	'show_ui' => true,
	'capability_type' => 'post',
	'hierarchical' => false,
	'rewrite' => false,
	'query_var' => false,
	'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'author')

If you want to list the posts posted under the custom post type, you can use the query_posts function:

query_posts('post_type=ideas')
