Eliminate Thumbnails for Custom Post Types
For a recent project, a client required a front end uploader to allow their customers to submit a consent form. Once they completed the form they could upload it as a PDF or JPG. Each form would be linked to a custom post type that contained other information about the user. The PDFs presented no […]
Permanently Delete Default WordPress Themes
If you build a custom WordPress theme for a client’s site, I’m sure you spend some time deleting the themes (and plugins) that come pre-installed with WordPress. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, but if you’re planning on customizing things, you really don’t need to leave them there. I see it as a little security […]
Single Post as Home Page in WordPress
Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a new premium theme for WordPress that would feature a single post on the home page. The one issue I needed to overcome was that I wanted that post to appear the same as it would on the single post page, which meant also displaying the […]
Working with WordPress and Mediaelement.js
WordPress uses Mediaelement.js for its audio and video player and recently I had to dive in to the code to figure out how to interact with the player using jQuery. Displaying audio with WordPress and Mediaelement.js is easy enough. All you need is the AUDIO shortcode: [audio src=”https://your-site.com/uploads/audio.mp3] This hooks into Mediaelement.js automatically and displays […]
Tienda WordPress Theme for WooCommerce
I was inspired last week and decided to build a WordPress theme for WooCommerce. It’s the first time I’ve ever created an eCommerce theme and I decided to build it around WooCommerce after testing out a few different plugins. I found the documentation and features easy enough to understand and wanted to make sure that […]
Jetpack Mobile and Googlebot
Recently, to my horror, I received an email from Google stating that bavotasan.com wasn’t mobile friendly. How could this be? I make every site I build mobile-friendly. For goodness sake, I even released my own (completely out-of-date) responsive grid framework. This is a Gridiculous mistake. Of course it wasn’t. I knew bavotasan.com lacked a mobile-friendly […]
Destin Premium WordPress Theme
It’s been a while since I’ve updated bavotasan.com. I was distracted with raising my daughters, renovating my house and making a short film. In between all of that I still managed to support everyone who purchased one of my themes and somehow squeezed together a new theme called DESTIN. It’s a darker theme built using […]

PHP Array for Font Awesome 4.1.0
I needed to list all of the available icons from Font Awesome 4.1.0 in order to allow users to select one. The code for the selector was easy enough but parsing through the Font Awesome stylesheet to get all the icon class names took some figuring out. Since it ended up taking a lot of […]
