PressTrends

Chris, I wanted to touch base and let you know about the sites feature within PressTrends. We’ve learned end-users are a lot more excited about PressTrends once they learn about the aggregated benchmarks and more for individual sites.

You could try adding a limit variable to the snippet. So $g would start at 0 and then hit 1 when the first category is displayed, then stop after that. The revised snippet is town below:

<?php
//exclude these from displaying
$exclude = array("Featured");

// Set initial counter to limit display of only one category
$g = 0;

//set up an empty categorystring
$catagorystring = '';

//loop through the categories for this post
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category)
{
	//if not in the exclude array
	if (!in_array($category->cat_name, $exclude) && $g < 2)
	{
		//add category with link to categorystring
		$catagorystring .= '<a href="'.get_bloginfo(url).get_option('category_base').'/'.$category->slug.'">'.$category->name.'</a>, ';

                // Add to counter after category loop
                $g++:
	}
}

//strip off last comma (and space) and display
echo substr($catagorystring, 0, strrpos($catagorystring, ','));
?>

Hope this helps!

We use this great plugin by Austin Passy called Custom Login: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-login/. It allows us to have our logo not he WP login screen, which is nice.

I don’t think the initial release of the Tweet integration includes specific customizations like this to the front-end yet. There might be a way with the plugin Twitter Embed: http://kovshenin.com/2012/announcing-the-twitter-embed-plugin-for-wordpress/

Hope this helps!
