Darren Hoyt is an interface designer and developer based in New York. In addition to client design work, he releases products and writings on his own blog. He has been building sites on WordPress since 2004 and released a handful of popular themes. With Lawrence Krubner, Darren helped launch WPQuestions in 2009.
Since we’ve begun expanding our Q&A software to include technologies like PHP, Javascript, the Symfony framework and more, we’ve decided not to run separate installs of WordPress and just use one centralized blog.
On that note, we’ve also launched an umbrella site called CodeWise, which is where the blog will live. RSS subscribers who want to [...]
Last month we announced a couple new affiliate options geared toward theme and plugin authors. This month we have added a more conventional third option geared toward bloggers.
Registered users can now log in to their control panel and click the “Affiliate Info” tab. There you’ll see your custom affiliate code, plus a list of [...]
Once again, we’d like to make available some of the most useful WordPress solutions we see posted at WPQ. This particular question was asked by user Meredith Marsh and answered with a clean bit of code by Utkarsh Kukreti who is also one of our Top Experts.

Here is your sample question:
As the Asker, you will see this button next to each answer (login required):
It doesn’t matter who you [...]
To make WPQuestions more time-sensitive, we’ve added a few email update features.
We’ve decided to experiment with pricing for awhile to see how it affects participation in the site. As I mentioned in another post, Askers can now post question for as little as $4. We decided that instead of imposing a minimum price based on our own idea of standards, we should let that happen organically [...]
As regularly as we can, we will be posting a “Best of WPQ” which re-publishes recent Expert contributions that we think are especially innovative, useful or noteworthy.
Currently, expired questions are only visible, via the control panel, to people who participated in them. Eventually we will implement a subscription-based plan for users who want searchable [...]
Right up until the day we launched WPQuestions, we were adding new features. Originally we had planned to launch the site in October, but other issues arose. I’m glad we pulled the trigger when we did. If you look at our to-do list, it’s obvious we could have spent the next 2 months adding those [...]
