 * It seems **Composite Products** is what I’m looking for, but I’m unsure of the
   pro’s and cons of going with Somewherewarms Composite Products ($79) or YITHEMES
   Composite Products ($64).
 * Anyone have any experience on the matter?

   and hopefully get some more ideas 🙂

   in the WordPress backend. I ended up downloading the plugin files and uploading
   them via FTP and then the “Firewall (WAF)” tab shows up under the securiscanner
   settings pages.

 * Hey Bud,
 * This step by step should help.
 * 1. Go to the Admnimize settings page in Settings -> Adminimize
    2. Scroll down
   to the “Write options – Post” pane. This is the 7th pane when I look at it
    -  Mini Menu -> About the Plugin -> Backend Options -> Global options -> Dashboard
      option -> Menu Options -> Write options – Post
 * 3. Then find the 23rd item down in the “Write options – Post” pane called **Excerpt(#
   postexcerpt, #postexcerptdiv, th.column-postexcerpt, td.postexcerpt)**
 * Then tick the boxes.

 * Hey Bud,
 * You can add descriptions as far as I am aware. I haven’t taken the time to pick
   apart your array and loop though.
 * The documentation is here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_term](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_term)
 * You add the description along with the wp insert terms array
 *     ```
       wp_insert_term(
         'Apple', // the term
         'product', // the taxonomy
         array(
           'description'=> 'A yummy apple.',
           'slug' => 'apple',
           'parent'=> $parent_term_id
         )
       ```
   
 * So in real terms that would like like
    `wp_insert_term('Arts and Entertainment','
   place-types', array('enter the description here','arts-and-entertainment','if
   there is a parent id, you would put it in here'));`
 * I hope that helps mate.

 * PS. I used variables so I didn’t need to re-write the actual parent element each
   time, I could reuse the same code.
 * Then it’s worth mentioning I was trying to replicate, to some extent, foursquares
   categories. This might add clarity to what I was trying.

 * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pre-populating-custom-post-type-taxonomies/#post-2461366)
 * This was the code I was playing around with. I included an option that is set
   after this is run, and then wrapped it in an if statement to check if the option
   was set or not. Running this more than once seemed to give some issues.
 *     ```
       wp_insert_term('Arts and Entertainment', 'place-types', array('','arts-and-entertainment',''));
       		$parent_term = term_exists( 'arts-and-entertainment', 'place-types' );
       		$parent_term_id = $parent_term['term_id'];
       		wp_insert_term('Arcades', 'place-types', array('slug' => 'arcades','parent'=> $parent_term_id));;
       		wp_insert_term('Art Galleries', 'place-types', array('slug' => 'art-galleries','parent'=> $parent_term_id));
   
       	wp_insert_term('Food', 'place-types', array('slug' => 'food'));
       		$parent_term = term_exists( 'food', 'place-types' );
       		$parent_term_id = $parent_term['term_id'];
       		wp_insert_term('African Restaurants', 'place-types', array('slug' => 'african-restaurants','parent'=> $parent_term_id));;
   
       	wp_insert_term('Nightlife', 'place-types', array('slug' => 'nightlife'));
       	wp_insert_term('Shops', 'place-types', array('slug' => 'shops'));
       	wp_insert_term('The Great Outdoors', 'place-types', array('slug' => 'outdoors'));
       	wp_insert_term('Travel Spots', 'place-types', array('slug' => 'travel-spots'));
       ```
   
 * I personally wouldn’t recommend doing it this way, I feel a pre-populated mysql
   dump would be better.

 * I just got this email about this thread and thought I’d post my reply here, just
   incase it helps:
 * > How did you change the link for FAQs in the sidebar to link back to your FAQs
   > index page and not list all of the individual FAQ posts?
 * The page is using a template file with the above code in it. My sidebar.php is
   using wp_list_categories() which is pretty much default and I haven’t really 
   done anything in there.
 * **Here is the solution: **
    If you put a file in your theme folder called category-
   ID.php where ID is the ID of the category you want to have a custom template 
   for that specific category.
 * Here is the link to the documentation explaining this functionality: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates#What_Template_File_is_Used.3F](http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates#What_Template_File_is_Used.3F)
 * So in my case, FAQ’s is category 7, so I made a new file called category-7.php
   and put my code (above) in that file.
 * So when you are in category 7, that template page will show.
 * (You can use the category slug, or name instead of the ID, but I’d recommend 
   using the ID incase you end up changing the name or slug of your category, or
   if you end up using qTranslate or something like that)
 * Hope that helps.

 * Hi HomesteadMommy
 * I actually figured this one out on friday for a site of mine, where I wanted 
   to list FAQ’s by sub category – [http://www.fluxsites.com/articles/faqs/](http://www.fluxsites.com/articles/faqs/)
 * I am not sure if it is the most graceful way to do it (loop in a loop) but it
   works and is fairly easy to understand – well if I can understand the code it
   must be fairly trivial.
 * Here is my solution if anyone wants to check it out. You could change “child_of
   =7” to your “Recipes” category id or remove it all together if there are no other
   categories, I would make recipes a sub category though, in case you want to add
   other categories, like news..
 *     ```
       <? 
   
       /* FIRST LOOP THROUGH THE CATEGORIES */			
   
       $categories=get_categories('child_of=7'); //outputs an array of child categories of category 7
   
       foreach($categories as $category) { ?>
   
       <?php $current_cat = $category->term_id; ?>
   
       <h2><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($current_cat); ?>" title="<?php sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) ?>"><?php echo $category->name ?></a></h2>
   
       <?php 
   
       /* SECOND LOOP THROUGH THE POSTS IN THE CATEGORY WHILST IN THE FIRST LOOP */ 					
   
       $cat_post = new WP_Query('cat='.$current_cat); ?>
   
       <ul>
       <?php
       while ($cat_post->have_posts()) : $cat_post->the_post();
       $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
       $preview = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'preview', true);
       ?>
   
       <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Peralink to FAQ: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
   
       </ul>
   
       <?php  } ?>
       ```
   
 * I don’t think it would be too difficult to include a thumb or excerpt too…
 * You would add that in this line, I think you could also use the normal code (
   the_excerpt), but I can’t say for sure as I haven’t tried.
 * `<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Peralink to FAQ: <?php the_title();?
   >"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>`
 * Good luck

 * I just did a site, and the deadline was so tight and there was no budget to do
   more browser testing and tweaks for IE6. So rather than having a half hearted
   attempt, I just put a message up there for IE6 users letting them know that the
   IE6 version is on the way, but if they want to see it now, they should upgrade
   their browser.
 * I didn’t use the plugin, but nice little idea.

 * I asked a good friend of mine who I did my degree with, who is pretty knowledgeable
   about plugins, about caching worpdress and he suggested wp-super cache over the
   regular wp-cache.
 * He also mentioned that caching can cause it’s own set of problems.
 * So, there is some completely un-researched, un-solicited feedback and most likely
   un-helpful. It gives you something to read though 🙂

 * I suppose another simpler way to put it:
 * If you add a calendar entry (through plugin/category), I’d like people to be 
   able to “attend” the event. This would be recorded by email or if the user is
   logged in.
 * Any ideas of a suitable plugin or method?
