Adding Infinite Scroll To Your WordPress Page

By

In Plugins, Tutorials

Scroll

While one-to-many times, you do wondered and feel the heat that I want something like infinite scrolling on my WordPress website page which will never get ended. Luckily we do have many of WordPress themes available which can help us achieve our aim but what if the theme that we like didn’t come up with in-built infinite scrolling. If that will be the case, we will say don’t be shattered as we got a solution for that with us. You can achieve this by using the plugin name Infinite Scroll.

Plugin To Use: Infinite Scroll

The plugin automatically append the next page of posts (via AJAX) to your page when a user scrolls to the bottom, which means the user never need to click “Next Page”, which dramatically increases stickiness. The Infinite Scroll even often known as autopagerize, unpaginate, endless pages.

Features

  • Works out-of-the-box for many popular WordPress themes — just activate the plugin and scroll
  • Fully customizable to adapt to your site and theme
  • Requires no (hopefully) template hacking, only a knowledge of CSS selectors.
  • Relies on shared database of common themes to simplify installation process
  • Maintain local database of theme presets for all installed themes (shared across network on multisite installs)
  • Countless API endpoints to modify the behavior.
  • Backwards compatible: Will not break RSS readers, mobile devices, or browsers with javascript

You completed your first WordPress website but still wondering what you actually left out with. Answer is simple a website never get completed unless and until it got a powerful search engine to fuel it up. While we talked about many WordPress search plugins in the past, but today we felt that it would be better if we got the things to some specific turns. That’s why with this article, we are going to review the search plugin name AJAX WP Query Search Filter.

Image-1

Ajax WP Query Search Filter is a powerful AJAX search engine that let your user perform more precisely search by filtering the search through post type, taxonomy and Meta field. Moreover, you do get an option to customize the plugin as per your own choice, or else you can have the search plugin your own styling mantra.

  • Admin are free to choose whether the search go through post type, taxonomy, meta field or even all of them.
  • Multiple Search Form Supported.
  • Search form support checkbox, radio and dropdown fields.
  • Using Ajax to display result in the same page complete with pagination.

  • Using [AjaxWPQSF id={form id}] to display the form.

Summary & Review

The question lies here only that what I required? Or what’s the option I am looking for? Since the plugin offers the site owner to have different search filters on board so that one can search via post type, taxonomy and Meta field making it a perfect choice for anyone. I say yes for the plugin and suggest site’s owner to give AJAX WP Query Search Filter plugin a try.

Reviewed – Table Of Content Plus Plugin

By

On November 1, 2013

In Plugins, Tutorials

A huge (header) points between the content requires a good and massive well build-up indexing and unless and until if you have something relevant with you on your WordPress site, it will create a mess. On second note, learning the fact and in actual the love for Wikipedia, people love it not just only for the information one gets, but the way the interface has been developed from the group up. Now, what if – you will get both the things under one hood. Well, yes this is possible as in this article I am going to review a plugin name Table Of Content Plus.

Image-1

The plugin Table Of Content Plus is built from the group up with keeping Wikipedia in mind. The content table (by default) will appear before the first handing on a page. It is a combination of powerful as well as user friendly plugin which will automatically creates a context specific index or table of contents (which basically required for longer pages as well as custom post types). The plugin gives the freedom to have lead-in content in the site which in turn may summarise or introduce the rest of the pages.

Features

  • A powerful yet user friendly plugin that automatically creates a context specific index or table of contents (TOC) for long pages (and custom post types).
  • It can also output a sitemap listing pages and/or categories across your entire site.
  • It also uses a unique numbering scheme that doesn’t get lost through CSS differences across themes.
  • It is a great companion for content rich sites such as content management system oriented configurations.
  • It includes an administration options panel where you can customise settings like display position, define the minimum number of headings before an index is displayed, other appearance, and more.
  • Custom post types are supported, however, auto insertion works only when the_content() has been used by the custom post type.
  • Each post type will appear in the options panel, so enable the ones you want.

Image-2

Installation & Configuration

  • Upload the table-of-contents-plus folder into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  • Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  • You can change the default settings and more under Settings > TOC+ while keep a note that this plugin requires PHP 5.

Image-3

Summary & Review

I like this plugin, not just because it eases my job but also it’s like what I am seeking to, I am getting all of them under one hood. Say, if you are not a coding savvy and want to have a long post with wish to include an index before the first heading, then this is where this plugin will help you out. It’s good and I highly recommend the plugin to all.

Most of the time we summoned over the fact on finding that which would be the perfect set of plugins that one can use on the sidebar while the question does not take a halt here only. One can think of getting a step further and on thinking of creating as well as managing a website’s custom sidebar

Power Widgets - 1

On first thought the process of creating and managing a brand new “custom” sidebar is nothing but a tedious job as one has to go on page by page, adjusting layout on piece at a time. But have you wondered that if your this tedious job can be handle by a plugin itself which allow you to create custom widget areas.

Sounds like a dream comes true thing, but in this article I am going to review a plugin name Power Widgets which can perform the task in a very simple and elegant manner. The plugin can let anyone control each of widget area very simply, can let one to create custom widget areas for specific page, posts or categories and over the top manage all of them from one single location.

Key Features

Power Widgets - 2

  • Customize your sidebars from one single location.
  • When it makes more sense to work your customization from inside the page, just use the Power Widgets table available inside any page, offering maximum flexibility.
  • Apply repeated custom sidebars patterns. Once you set the one, you can use it throughout your site.
  • You need not require knowing the coding.
  • Using Power Widgets is easy and user friendly.

  • Once activated, you will be able to receive update notifications directly via WordPress dashboard.
  • Power Widgets will recognize and add any page, post or category to the appropriate table dynamically.

Power Widgets - 4

Pricing

Power Widgets is priced in three different variants: Single Site, Three Site and Unlimited Developer’s License. Single Site comes at a cost of $25 for one year and brings in all the features and support. If you got more sites, then the Three Site variant will be a perfect choice for you. It comes at a cost of $49 while the Unlimited Developer’s License comes at a cost of $79. Over the top, you may also upgrade your plan anytime you wish while if in case you didn’t found the plugin a perfect choice for you, then you can also get a full refund on your purchase within 14 days from the day of your purchase.

Summary & Review

What one wants more? A single plugin which gives anyone a whole new “custom” widgets area and that too not only meant for one single page or post, but it goes as the way one wants it; for specific page, posts or categories with allowing one to manage all from single location. The plugin is really just like its name: Power Widgets and with all these features, it is really a powerful option one can opt for. I highly recommend everyone who has been in search of such a “custom” widgets solution to try this plugin for sure.
