]]>Jetpack's Publicize can be a handy feature to automatically share your post to various social network's like facebook, twitter and google plus.
One of the annoying features is when it shares it on those social networks it posts a http://wp.me... short link. You can fix that by deactivating "WP.me Shortlinks" in Jetpack settings.
Another annoying thing is even if "WP.me Shortlinks" is disabled, it will share the url in the classic http://domain.com/?p=123 permalink structure. In order to fix this, add the following to your theme's functions.php file:
function tweakjp_cust_shortlink() {
global $post;
if (!$post) {
return;
}
return get_permalink($post->ID);
}
add_filter( 'get_shortlink', 'tweakjp_cust_shortlink' );

]]>I was on the hunt for a image slider plugin for wordpress and was surprised how many don't include an interface for putting together multiple sliders. Meta Slider was probably the best one I found. You can pick from 4 open source jQuery sliders when creating your slides; Nivo Slider, Flex Slider 2, Coin Slider and Responsive Slides. Slideshows are stored as a custom post type, slides are stored as media files and the relation between the two is stored as taxonomy data. You can create unlimited slideshows with unlimited number of slides.

]]>The guys over at FuelCMS have documented a method of integrating CodeIgniter and Wordpress into the same website. By doing so you can call the $CI super object from within your Wordpress theme files.
The initial problem we had with using Wordpress was wanting to incorporate CodeIgniter functionality into our Wordpress theme files. For example, we often have a header and footer that we include in many of our CodeIgniter view files. That same header and footer also needed to be included in the Wordpress theme. Our answer was to create a Wordpress include file that executes the CodeIgniter bootstrap within Wordpress.
