Accessibility Theme for WordPress

admin — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 20:05:10 +0000

I had a look through the WordPress theme directory and was surprised to see no themes designed with accessibiliy for low vision readers in mind. So using the Sandbox theme and the BBC’s own Betsie Low Vision Parser (a great Perl script to make your website low vision freidnly) I quickly made my own, here is a screenshot:

How to remove the links from tags in WordPress

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:04:21 +0000

You may have noticed on this blog that the tags don’t have hyper links associated with them (go on, hover over one and have a look for yourself).

The reason I’ve done this is two fold:

The page rank of a blog can dissapear into all those tag pages, meaning google can’t work out if the most important pages are your posts of your tags

I don’t want people coming to my ugly tag pages, I want them coming straight to the posts.

In some circumstances you may feel a simliar way, and if you want to remove the links from your tags here is how to do it:

Open up wp-includes/category-template.php
Around line 890 change the following code (old code is commented out)

// $term_links[] = ‘’ . $term->name . ‘’;
$term_links[] = $term->name;

Around line 670 make the following code change

$a[] = “$tag_name”;
// $a[] = “ // ( $smallest + ( ( $count – $min_count ) * $font_step ) )
// . “$unit;’>$tag_name”;

And there you go. If you upgrade your Worpress install make sure you back the category file up, as it may overwrite it.
