Before starting though, there is already a very good video showing this process on Youtube.

Just below the writing window you’ll see the following for uploading images.

Click Browse and locate the file on your computer you want to upload. Once you have chosen the file, enter its title and description. Make the title descriptive as well so this image will be easier to find later if you want to use it again. No click the Upload button. You will see the following in the upload area when it is finished.

You are now ready to add the image to your post. Click the “Send to editor” button and the code for the image is placed in the writing area.

Now finish editing your post and you are done.

• Login to your control panel
• Click Users
• Scroll down to Add User From Community as shown below
  
• Fill in the users email address
• Change the dropdown box to the level of authority you want the new user to have. I have a brief description below. For a full comparison of user roles see the Wordpress description.
  • Subscriber - Cannot do anything but read just like a normal visitor
  • Contributor - Write posts but cannot publish them
  • Author - Can write and publish posts
  • Editor - Same as author and can change categories, moderate comments, edit other users posts
  • Administrator - Everything

yum -y install php-xml
service httpd restart

The installs the XML modules into PHP. Restarting httpd allows the web server, in this case Apache, to load the new modules.

This solution came from the Mediawiki Support Desk.

1. Login into your server either through your CPanel or SSH
2. Traverse into your blog directory/wp-content/themes/yourtheme
3. Select your index.php file or the file containing your feed list.
4. Make a copy this file for precaution
5. Edit the original file and replace your loop code with the following example code (I’ll explain the code further down):
   

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=Syndication&showposts=20');
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
   $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>
   <?php
   $curTitle = the_title('','',false);
   if ( !eregi('boob',$curTitle)
   && !eregi('Hello World',$curTitle)
   && !eregi('cunt',$curTitle)
   && !eregi('pussy',$curTitle)
   && !eregi('nude',$curTitle) ) {
   ?>
   <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br><?php the_author(); ?></li>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

6. Save the file
7. Open another browser window and check your main page
8. If your feed is now correct, your are done. If not continue
9. In your file manager find you error_log file. The location is different on each system, but CPanel usually has an icon that says Error Log
10. Review the last several lines of the error log. It will tell you what line the error is on. Most likely it will be a syntax error in one of the filter lines
11. Fix the error in the file you are editing and repeat the test

The code replacement was just a small sample. To grab the entire loop code with all of my filters right click this code link and save as yourfilter.php. Then you can easily add the full fulter list into your code.

Now, let’s walk through the code so you can see how this works. This first section queries the database and pulls back the last 20 posts that have been syndicated. It also makes sure there are no duplicates. This is the beginning of the feed loop, i.e. the Live Feed section of Blogivists.com

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=Syndication&showposts=20');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>

Next I open a new php segment and the first thing I do is grab the post title. Setting the third parameter to false gives me the title and prevents it from being displayed. I set the title to a variable to make it easier to do the multiple filter checks.

<?php
$curTitle = the_title('','',false);

Now, the filtering. I am using a case insensitive search that tests the keyword against the post title. If the keyword is found anywhere in the title the if statement is broken and I move to the next keyword. If it is false, I continue. Be careful what words your filter on. This check will find partial words within words and you could end up wondering why posts are not displaying. For instance, filtering on sex would also catch Middlesex and exclude it.

As a quick note, you’ll see I filter out all of the “Hello World” posts with a filter.

Terminology:
    ! (exclamation) reverses a True/False value so a false gives me true to continue
    ;&& is the symbol for AND, i.e. all values in the AND clause must also be True to continue

if ( !eregi('boob',$curTitle)
&& !eregi('Hello World',$curTitle)
&& !eregi('cunt',$curTitle)
&& !eregi('pussy',$curTitle)
&& !eregi('nude',$curTitle) ) {

An easy mistake to make is forgetting to close the final keyword test with a final parenthesis.

&& !eregi('nude',$curTitle) ) {

Now end the PHP code segment to print the valid post titles.

?>

Allow the HTML code to display the post titles in a list.

<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br><?php the_author(); ?></li>

Finally, close the If part of the filter and end the loop.

<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
