Wrap wp_nav_menu output around option tags for select menu
Sorry I was using the wrong function. wp_dropdown_categories was the function I was looking for which does this by default.

Wrap wp_nav_menu output around option tags for select menu
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Looking at that code...pretty complex for a PHP novice! I may consider a manual solution as I can see the optgroup labels being a problem.

How to integrate WooCommerce plugin into existing Wordpress theme.
@unasAquila that is an interesting plugin which I may consider. @FragaGeddon I heard about this technique, but the example I saw the guy was using two separate wordpress sites (2 databases). This is not really a viable solution for me or my client …

How to integrate WooCommerce plugin into existing Wordpress theme.
Thanks for that. Yes very detailed but it's more focused on actually setting up the shop as opposed to the actual development side of things. Plus he is using a WooTheme that supports WooCommerce. My question was how to use WooCommerce on an e…

Best solution for an inner container
@Paulie_D is right. You shouldn't be afraid to add extra markup if needed. Remember divs have no semantic meaning so won't harm anything by doing so. By all means keep your HTML code nice and tidy, but not to the extent where you need to …

Testing local server with MAMP/wordpress on external device?
@smcr yes I know what you mean. To get it working I didn't follow the article exactly. In the two wordpress URL's in admin, enter the following only... http://xxx.xxx.x.x So only the IP address. Make sure you write that in both boxes. …

Testing local server with MAMP/wordpress on external device?
Ok got it... http://www.designshifts.com/view-local-wordpress-website-on-your-iphone-or-ipad-with-mamp/ Turns out it is just simply calling the IP address. Only thing I missed was not putting the IP address as the website URL in the wordpress admin

Testing local server with MAMP/wordpress on external device?
Thanks for your responses guys. Some good information there. The problem is I can get to the local domain no problems using either the IP address or through the terminal, but I can't seem to connect to the wordpress database. (at least, this i…

Best techniques for image optimisation (Standard and Retina)
@rugg agreed I also do your technique however I am not a fan of ImageOptim. I tend to get better results with http://www.jpegmini.com @siouxfan45 yes that would obviously display the best results but ridiculous file sizes. This post was more for c…

Best techniques for image optimisation (Standard and Retina)
Forgot to add, the second technique seems to give the best balance between file size and image quality, so the point of this thread is to see if there is a better technique I have missed.

Best Practices: Multiple Classes or Multiple Properties?
Definitely option 2. Less repetition = Less code = Smaller CSS file (albeit very small difference) Not the most important thing to do, but every little helps, especially if not too taxing. I wouldn't go through the whole CSS and group similar…

Prevent hidden html from loading on mobile
Google conditional loading. Its pretty much having the content on another page somewhere on your server, and then bring it in using the .load function with jQuery.

Menu placement opinions
Yes I agree, it would definitely depend on layout and goals of the site. I'm not a fan of the nav on her company site either, it's quite an eye sore, on desktop, however, it seems like they went for a mobile-first approach where this desi…

Menu placement opinions
The redesign of this site is an interesting one that has challenged existing conventions in numerous way, navigation being one of them. I have seen sites that display no navigation initially but as soon as you start to scroll, a fixed top navigatio…

Consistent icon font spacing throughout browsers/os
Thanks but it's the line height thats the problem. For example a line height of 0px would work in the PC Chrome, but mac chrome needs a line-height of 20px to be vertically centered. I came across this link https://github.com/danielbruce/enty…

One div doesn't float left
@markomarkogame the reason this is happening is because when you float elements, they are removed from the normal flow of the document, and only float up to the next floated element. In this case, the first element has two lines of text, making the …

Thoughts on design and copy
@chrisburton However, even testing on my own site, #000 causes weird rendering of the letterforms alone. Yes!! I completely forgot about this reason. In fact I think it was this exact reason that first made me experiment with colour shades. I …

Thoughts on design and copy
Also @chrisburton that information talks about high contrast, black on white. It is not talking about absolute black (#000) on white. To many people, #333 is black. Maybe here lies some confusion.

Thoughts on design and copy
@chrisburton I don't believe that makes a lot of sense. Reducing contrast weakens the readability of the text. I'd love to read your opinion on why you think it "enhances the reading experience". No I totally disagree with …

Totally agree with that, but would be good to see what kind of range he was referring to. For example, reading that without knowing the context, I would imagine he would be talking about making text #aaa on white or something. I personally never us…
