AH Footer Scripts

This small plugin moves all scripts (including jQuery) to the footer to help speed up page load times, while keep stylesheets in the header. Note that this only works if you have plugins and a theme that utilizes wp_enqueue_scripts correctly.

Whistles

Whistles was not born as “just another tabs plugin”. It was born out of the idea that we need to get rid of all other plugins like this and start from scratch. It seems to me that tabs plugins have been clunky and extremely hard to use over the years. Whistles seeks to rectify this by making it easy to manage tabs, toggles, accordions, and other things that need to be embedded into a page. So, what is Whistles? Are whistles? Can you whistle? Whistles is a plugin that creates a new content type called “whistle” and a new taxonomy called “whistle group”. The plugin allows you to create individual whistles and organize them into whistle groups however you see fit. Then, it allows you to embed whistle groups into posts using the [whistles] shortcode or adding it via the Whistles widget. You can also decide how you want to display your whistles. In the current version of the plugin, they can be displayed as: Tabs Toggles Accordions The great thing about this method is that you’re pretty much able to put whatever content you want into your whistles. It’s no different than writing a post or page. You can insert text, images, media, and even other shortcodes. Features “Whistles” screen in the admin under “Appearance” for creating whistles. “Whistle Groups” screen in the admin under “Appearance” for organizing whistles. [whistles] shortcode for displaying whistles. “Add Whistles” media button above the post content editor for inserting whistles. “Whistles” widget under the “Appearance > Widgets” admin screen. Professional Support If you need professional plugin support from me, the plugin author, you can access the support forums at Theme Hybrid, which is a professional WordPress help/support site where I handle support for all my plugins and themes for a community of 40,000+ users (and growing). Plugin Development If you’re a theme author, plugin author, or just a code hobbyist, you can follow the development of this plugin on it’s GitHub repository. Donations Yes, I do accept donations. If you want to buy me a beer or whatever, you can do so from my donations page. I appreciate all donations, no matter the size. Further development of this plugin is not contingent on donations, but they are always a nice incentive.
