Your jQuery tabs are nice and all, but now we want to fill them with post content.
Our approach will be as follows:
Creating a new WP query is pretty simple. We’ll want to call wp_reset_query() just in case and then assign $displayposts to our new query. Make sure to include the category name (or ID or Slug) in your query so that it gets posts from the specific category.

As I continue to use WordPress for more than just a blogging platform, I’m finding more ways to use the dynamic content built into WP to creative interactive Javascript (especially jQuery) elements.
In this case, we’re going to look at a way to populate a tabbed jQuery element with WP post data.
In our imaginary church, we would like to create an element on our landing page that lists each campus of our church and displays them when each tab is selected. [Read more…] about Tabbed Content from WordPress Posts: Part 1

The WordPress API does a great job of exposing many of the WordPress settings via convenient functions but there are a few that are so similar that it can be easy to select the wrong function to use.
Case in point: bloginfo(‘wpurl’) vesus bloginfo(‘url’).

I was raised my entire life with the fact that God knew what was write for my life and I was suppose to follow that. When younger, my parents would discern what was correct and tell me. As a teenager, I fought a lot of what my parents said only to find out in college that they were actually geniuses. In college, I started to look to my future of what was going to happen: who will I marry, what will I do as a career, what is my purpose. One night my senior year, struggling with these decisions, I told God to break me and lead my path completely. I humbled myself to whatever He wanted from me, unsure of the unknown, and struggled with God to show me the way.
Genesis 32:22-32 is the famous Biblical story of Jacob, son of Issac who was coming home after being away for twenty years. Genesis tells us that when Jacob had been left alone, “a man wrestled with him until the break of day.” Jacob, it is said, wrestled with God through the night, refusing to let go, even when he had been wounded, holding on until he had received a blessing. This seemed to go against everything I believed. Wrestling with God? Can we do that?
How bold! How dangerous! Jacob held on to God until he received God’s blessing, but he did not leave unscathed. For the rest of his life, that hip would be a reminder of who was in control of his life. Yet his blessing was transformational both in name (from Jacob to Israel) as well as in purpose (from second heir to his brother to God’s nation that will come from his family).
I see Jacob wanting more to his life and know God could lead him, so he wrestled with God. But Jacob is not the only one. Abraham laughed at God (Genesis 17:17), Moses argued with God (Exodus 4:1), David yelled at God (Psalm 88), Peter fought God every step of the way (Matthew 16:22-23), and for Paul it took a miracle for him to see the authority of Christ. (Acts 9:5-9)
Today we often find ourselves in Jacob’s position. We are troubled with worries and anxieties; our future is unsure at best, and we desperately seek God’s blessing and deliverance. When I asked for God to break me, mold me into His image, and lead me, I was blessed beyond belief. Yet, I also have a permanent reminder of the power of God and how He always has control of my life.
So, be cautious in asking God to break you. It WILL HURT, but it could be the greatest think you ever do.
