I’ve received a bunch of emails from people having WordPress HTTPS problems. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to setup a WordPress HTTPS site, fix Google HTTPS errors, get the cheapest SSL certificate and more.
It sounds like allot of work, but it is actually very easy to make your site HTTPS compliant.
If you’re getting the Google Chrome Error : Google Chrome has detected either high-risk insecure content on the page or problems with the site’s certificate I’ll fix that too!
I’ve created numerous WordPress Video Tutorials. Here I provide you with an easy location to find all 40 of them.
I cover how to install WordPress on a development system. As well I provide a deep understanding of Taxonomies, Shortcodes, WP Nav Menu, the WordPress database and much more.
All of the code and the original articles follow all of the videos.

In this video tutorial I teach how to do a ton of things with WordPress.
I teach you how to create a contact form for WordPress. This contact form is extremely customizable and includes both Akismet and Captcha spam blocking. It also allows for file uploads.
Then I show you how to create an email capture for an e-book system inside of WordPress.
A while back I did a video about the basics of WordPress Taxonomies. Since then I’ve received requests on how to:
Ever since I wrote Install WordPress on a Localhost I’ve received a bunch of requests on how to update WordPress on a localhost. It is actually extremely easy.
I think what frustrates people is the fact that WordPress automatic updates don’t work on most development servers? Don’t worry about that. It is actually very easy to update WordPress manually.
I received many requests recently on how to display related posts on a WordPress site. The code I present in the video below will grab as many related posts as you want and display them in your WordPress post.
The code grabs related posts based off of them being in the same category. It will also work if you have a post in multiple categories.
I could have picked the related posts based off of tags, but I thought categories made more sense.
You probably saw this tutorial coming if you saw my last article Great 404 Pages?
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make a WordPress 404 page. It will not only be funny, but also informative.
If you don’t know, a person is sent to a 404 page if they try to go to a URL that doesn’t exist. If you have a 404 page they’ll see something useful instead of an error page.
In the previous WordPress News Theme Tutorial, I finished the blog part of my theme. In this part I will finish styling: archive.php, page.php, search.php and single.php.
It sounds like a lot of work, but I’m basically copying and pasting all the code from index.php.
If you make sure your styling is done right during the design phase everything else just falls into place.
In this tutorial, I’m going to pull everything together. After this we will be very close to being finished.
I’ll create the menu bar for the theme. Then I finish styling the front blog page. I show you how to make sure your images always align properly. To finish everything else I style the final pages I’ll make in the next tutorial.
We are almost done. If you missed part 1 of this tutorial it is here WordPress News Theme.
In this part of the WordPress News Theme I finish the sidebar for the theme and create styling for the sidebar and footer.
I’ll cover how to style the output you receive from the wp_list_pages and wp_list_categories functions.
If you missed the tutorials previous to this one check out WordPress News Theme Part 1. All of the code follows the video and you can use it however you’d like.
In this tutorial I finish creating the index.php and footer.php code for my WordPress News Theme.
In this tutorial, I mention that I created a Social Network Plugin. The code for that plugin is available here WordPress Plugin Howto.
Like always, all of the code follows the video. You can use it however you’d like. If you want to see the News Theme in the real world checkout My Investment Services. That site is using my News Theme and Featured Content Slider.
In this tutorial I continue building the WordPress News Theme. If you missed the first part of this tutorial click that link.
I paused this tutorial so that I could make my WordPress Featured Content Slider. So, now that that is out of the way I’ll turn the HTML and CSS, I made previously, into a WordPress Theme.
I’ll start out by making header.php. Then I’ll show you how to grab the first image from a WordPress post and much more.
I didn’t plan on doing this tutorial since part 9 of this series, but I wanted to add a few features. I go into detail on those features after the video.
I also wanted to show you how to use the Featured Content Slider I made for WordPress. All of the code is available in a zipped archive.
I’m not going to upload this to the WordPress plugin depository, so this is the only place to get it. Don’t worry it is still free to use however you’d like.
It seems like I started this WordPress Featured Content tutorial forever ago. Well in this tutorial I finish it.
I have shown you how to do pretty much anything with WordPress in this tutorial. All of those things I have missed have already been covered in my basic WordPress Theme Tutorial or in my WordPress Plugin Tutorial.
Like always the code follows the video. You can do what ever you want with it under the GNU license.
Here I finish what I started in part 7 of the WordPress Featured Content tutorial.
I’m focusing on how to dynamically create the featured content slider after a new post has been saved.
The main skills you’ll develop here, aside from how to make the slider, is how to keep your code very organized as you proceed through a complicated project.
In this part of the tutorial, I continue making a WordPress Featured Content Slider.
I’ll specifically show you how to do many things with WordPress like:
In this part of my tutorial on how to create a WordPress Featured Content Slider I’ll cover many topics.
I’ll show you how to:
This tutorial is both a continuation of WordPress News Theme and my WordPress Featured Content Tutorial.
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to turn the previous html / css version of the featured content slider into a WordPress featured content plugin.
You’ll learn how to make a meta box that allows the user to define the featured image they want to associate with their post.
Here I finish all of the HTML and CSS for the WordPress News Theme. Here is all of the code and images from the tutorial zipped archive. It’s licensed under the GNU License, so you can do whatever you want with it.
