Four years later, people continue to tell me how much they enjoy and use the content as a bookmarked reference for many of their HTAccess needs. The article was even published in a book on Joomla!

It is inefficient (re-runs SQL queries) and will outright fail in some circumstances (especially often when dealing with posts pagination).

WordPress Custom Field Template Plugin Tutorial 1/13/2011 – New and improved function used for retrieving custom field data for the current post called base_get_all_custom_fields(). This function will run a database query to get all custom fields attached to the current page, post or post type and store them in an array.

Controlling and customising RSS feeds in WordPress WordPress by default creates a whole lot of automatic feeds for you. Feeds for posts, feeds for comments, feeds for categories… just about anything you could imaginably turn into a feed it does.
