I just got done experimenting with some options for the main menu here at Elite Freelancing. Given I don’t code PHP — I’m more of a cut ‘n’ paste kinda guy when it comes to PHP – I had to do some digging around to find what I needed. Specifically, I needed a way to add tags into wp_list_categories so that Wordpress.
So today I’m chippin’ away at a redesign for my rusted art website. Like most sites I develop, I rolled it out on Wordpress. I seemed to have run a into a bug though, and I’m not sure if this a localized me thing, or a legit gremlin.
Users of Wordpress 2.6 will know that you can insert captions underneath photos and images within your posts. If any of you have tried to add hyperlinks within a caption, you’ll also know that Wordpress will strip that link faster than a suspected terrorist at LAX when you hit save.
Now, I’m not techy enough to know exactly why Wordpress strips links from captions but it does. I do know that with some fiddling about, I finally found a fairly straight forward workaround that doesn’t involve custom fields or plugins.
