How to set default image for Facebook sharing in WordPress blog posts ?

Posted on October 17, 2011 by krushna chandra muni

A picture equals to many words. Facebook can be the biggest traffic source for your website, web 2.0 is social web. It may happen that your article is very catchy, get shared many times on Facebook but many of them don’t click the link. Attaching certain picture may increase click rate of Facebook news feed.

Increase of click rate means increased visitors, increased social sharing. To select certain image for a post you need to add some meta tags in header. Its obvious that we need different meta tags for each post. Static meta tags won’t do.

We will add a custom field and then fetch it in header file.

Add a custom field named “fbimage”. On post edit page under “Custom Fields” click enter new. Type “fbimage” and under value type image name you want to select for that post. ( Upload the image to wp-content/uploads)

( Note that you need to add new custom field only once, next time you just need to enter only value selecting field name from dropdown )

Update the post.

Now edit your theme from Appearance –> Editor. Select header.php.

Anywhere between <head> to </head> add below code.

<?php if(is_single()){ $values = get_post_custom_values(‘fbimage’,$post->ID); if($values[0]!=”){?>
<meta property=”og:image” content=”http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/<?php $values = get_post_custom_values(‘fbimage’,$post->ID); echo $values[0]; ?>”/>
<link rel=”image_src” href=”http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/<?php $values = get_post_custom_values(‘fbimage’,$post->ID); echo $values[0]; ?>” / >
<?php
}}
?>

Update the file and you’re done.

From next time you write a post, add value to “fbimage” custom field and enjoy increased click rate.

How to turn any jQuery plugin into a WordPress one

Posted on July 25, 2010 by krushna chandra muni

WordPress and jQuery are both very famous for their plugins. In the case of jQuery, plugins allow developers to extend the library’s capacities in order to create beautiful effects. In WordPress, they allow anyone to benefit from the work of others, as they come under the form of a module that you can easily activate from within the administration interface, and start using right away.

Creating one of those modules is not that difficult, but if you are not familiar with their syntax, it could end up being a headache. There are many jQuery plugins that have been transferred into a WordPress one already, but what can you do when it is not the case? How do you do when you have found the perfect jQuery plugin for your latest site, but it is not yet available as a WordPress plugin?

In this tutorial: How to turn any jQuery plugin into a WordPress one, we’ll see how you can easily create a WordPress plugin from a jQuery one. We’ll review what a jQuery, or a WordPress plugin is actually made of, so we’ll find the elements they both have in common. From there, we’ll show how it leads us to perform some simple operations to allow us to benefit from our jQuery plugins in a WordPress template.
