wpsnipp wordpress code snippets

I whipped up this little snippet that you can add to the functions.php of your wordpress theme to highlight keywords in search results for the_excerpt and the_title. A few highlight search results snippets floating around including a great one by Michael Martin. However they require you edit template files so this is my take on Michaels Idea.

Adding this snippet to the functions.php of your wordpress theme will increase height of the excerpt field within your post editing screen.

Adding this snippet to the functions.php of your wordpress theme will add the TinyMCE editor to the post excerpt textarea.

This is a simple snippet but a gem I have used in several projects. Adding this snippet to the functions.php of your wordpress theme converts URI, www, ftp, and email addresses into clickable links within the_content and or the_excerpt enjoy!

Adding this snippet to the functions.php of your wordpress theme will add a character counter to excerpt metabox. Update: Made a small update to a more appropriate hook, thanks Andrew.

Adding this PHP code to your wordpress theme will allow you to check if a post contains an excerpt. Wordpress will use the post as an excerpt when one does not exists so this is a great way to display the excerpt when not every post will contain one.
