Common CSS Mistakes To Avoid When Customizing Your WordPress Theme

Posted by Tushar Bedekar
Irrespective of how well-designed your WordPress theme may be, you may want to change its layout to match the changing web trends or users' needs. In order to make modifications to every WordPress theme layout, you'll have to make changes to your theme's CSS file (or style.css).

What's more? The CSS file gives you the ability to format your theme's elements, in order to improve the visual aesthetics of layout. In essence, you can make any changes to your WordPress theme's as you want using the CSS stylesheet. For instance, you can change the position of sidebar, size of the header and footer in theme's web pages and so on.

When writing a CSS for the WP powered site, you can easily make changes to your theme layout with a few clicks, but you can even mess up your layout while making tweaks to your CSS. In case, you encounter any issue with the website theme layout, you'll most likely visit a WordPress forum or community to find what just went wrong. Indubitably, there are a number of willing volunteers ready to help you, but wouldn't it be better if you could resolve the problem on your own following some simple steps. 

So to help you, I've compiled a list of some common CSS mistakes that WordPress users (especially beginners) occasionally make during theme customization.

Missed Spelling Errors


Perhaps the most common CSS mistake that a novice often makes when customizing a WP theme is missed spelling errors. But, the irony is that even professionals make missed spelling errors! Theme customization is not a simple task and requires to pay attention to several aspects, and thus it's easy to overlook spelling errors. For instance, it's easy to write "left" as "leftt", or you may assign "11ps" for a margin instead of "11px". Wondering how you can deal with this problem? Don't worry, as CSS validator help catches missed spelling mistakes for us.

Forgetting Little Details Regarding CSS Selectors


Regardless of how creative you may be in writing CSS, there are some guidelines you need to follow. Each CSS selector is segregated into 3 different classes, such as:

·         ID
·         Class
·         HTML tags

It is important for you to ensure that the selector needs to be identified either as an ID or a class except when it is an HTML tag. Also, make sure that the selector is defined in the right format as shown below:

{ property: value; property: value; }

As you can see in the above line of code, each selector contains some properties (along with values), curly brackets, colons and semi-colons. In case, you miss any of these little details, your CSS selectors won't work. Fortunately, CSS validator make you learn about the such little forgotten details.

Placing Design in Wrong Selector


Even though, you have created an excellent website design, adding it in #content when the design was actually meant to be added in the #content-text selector won't make any changes to your theme layout. There's nothing to worry, as you can immediately see the mistake you've made when viewing the page. All you need to do is cut and paste your design contents in the right tag, and once it's completed make sure to delete your design from #content. Worried what happens if you lost the code? You can refer to your backup file.

Note: Make sure to create a backup for your CSS stylesheet, so that you can get your lost data as and when required.

Placing Content in Wrong Template Module


There's no denying that WordPress new modular templates are very useful, however, one problem with using such templates is that users often do mistakenly make modifications to the wrong module file. That's because, the files have similar names. For instance, you may make changes within comments.php rather than comments-popup.php. In case such an accident happens, a backup of your file can prove very useful for you.

Multiple Choices May Cause Problems


In many cases, developers often create two references to the same CSS selectors. If you're having several selectors with conflicting information, CSS can't recognize which reference it must use. You will most likely come across this issue when you bring up your existing CSS stylesheet over a new one. For example, in case you're having a fight with a selector for, let's say, h2 heading and nothing happens then make sure to search throughout your stylesheet to see if it contains a second reference to that selector or not.

Conclusion


If you made some changes to your CSS file to customize your WordPress theme, and found the theme broken or cannot see any changes, it is recommended that you should go through all of the aforementioned key points. This will help you learn about the common mistakes you might have made when writing CSS.

Header File In C Programming language

Posted by Tushar Bedekar
As We all know that in the C programming language we use to include the header files before staring the programming further. so lets view today what these header files mean to us.

As in the old programming IDE`s such as turbo c etc. we use to write as below
                          #include<stdio.h> 
#include<conio.h>        
These two are the basic header files that we usually include.There can be also different types of the header files such as<math.h>,<string.h>,<graphic.h>,<string.h>,user defined header files and many more depending on the type of the requirement in the program me written.now before moving further lets us first know what s header file.

What is Header File:-

A header file is a file with extension .h which contains C function declarations
and macro definitions and to be shared between several source files. There are two types of header files: the files that the programmer writes and the files that come with your compiler.

You request the use of a header file in your program by including it, with the C pre-processing directive #include like you have seen inclusion of stdio.h header file, which comes along with your compiler.

Including a header file is equal to copying the content of the header file but we do not do it because it will be very much error-prone and it is not a good idea to copy the content of header file in the source files, specially if we have multiple source file comprising our program.

Include Syntax:-

Both user and system header files are included using the preprocessing directive #include. It has following two forms:
#include <file>
This form is used for system header files. It searches for a file named file in a standard list of system directories. You can prepend directories to this list with the -I option while compiling your source code.
#include "file"
This form is used for header files of your own program. It searches for a file named file in the directory containing the current file. You can prepend directories to this list with the -I option while compiling your source code.

Include Operation:-

The #include directive works by directing the C preprocessor to scan the specified file as input before continuing with the rest of the current source file. The output from the preprocessor contains the output already generated, followed by the output resulting from the included file, followed by the output that comes from the text after the #include directive. For example, if you have a header file header.h as follows:
char *test (void);
and a main program called program.c that uses the header file, like this:
int x;
#include "header.h"

int main (void)
{
   puts (test ());
}
the compiler will see the same token stream as it would if program.c read
int x;
char *test (void);

int main (void)
{
   puts (test ());
}
The Next Discussion Will Be on Introduction to a various types of header files in brief. so stay connected with us.Readers One Important note for you (if any one wants to share there articles with us on any topic please click the link belowWrite for Us

The Bulid Process

Posted by Tushar Bedekar
Before Going more with this topic let us first understand what it is? Basically it is a process which takes place in order to build the .exe (executable file) from the code written in the editor or any integrated development environment.

Here this article is in the reference to the "C and C++ programming language".

C Source Code:-

The code that you have written in the editor is referred to as a source code.In "C Programming" language this source code is stored with an .c extension and in that if the C++ programming language it is being stored with the .cpp extension.

This source code includes many user

  • User defined functions   
  • Many library functions 
  • Macros Definition
  •  And native codes
for more info please refer Source Code Vs Object Code



Pre-compilation:-

Now this is the  first step in build process.During this step the C source code is get expanded on the basis of pre processor directives included in the sources code. These pre processor directives may include 
  • #include
  • #define
  • #ifdef and #pragma etc. 
During this pre compilation process the source code that is being stored in the .c format is get converted into the .I extension which is referred as the expanded source code.for example the stored in the form of tushar.c format is get converted into the form of tushar.I format. that means we can say the during the pre compilation only the extension or the format of the code changes in the first step if the build process.

Compilation:-

Can we write any thing inside the main function in c?

Posted by Tushar Bedekar
Image result for cyes we can write inside the main function.That is we can pass formal arguments inside the main function in c.we can declare any variable inside the main function which is same as declaring the variable inside the block of the main function. lets have a look on the program given below:




Program:-  

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int a,int b)
{
    int c;
    printf("\"enter the two numbers\"");
    scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);
    c=a+b;
    printf("the sum of %d and %d is %d",a,b,c);
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

Have A Try:-

Can we Store Something in the void Data Type.If no then what is the purpose of using void as a modifier or a data type in "C Programming" languages.put your answer in the form of the comment.

IDE,Linker,Editor,Console And Debugger

Posted by Tushar Bedekar
Basically If We talk About writing the "C Program-me" We usually use the IDES (Integrate Development Environment) such as Turbo C++,Dos box(specially for windows 7 and windows 8). More over one can also use online software's to compile and execute the c program-me.


Integrated Development Environment IDE:-


Basically place that we use to write the "C program-me" is referred to as the Integrated development environment (IDE).An integrated development environment (IDE) or interactive development environment is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. Most modern IDEs offer Intelligent code completion features.


Linker:-



A linker or link editor is a computer program that takes one or more object files generated by a compiler and combines them into a single executable program.

Definition: To convert Source Code to Machine code takes two phases.
Compilation. This turns the Source Code into Object Code.
 Linking. This collects all the various Object Code files and builds them into an EXE or DLL.
Linking is quite a technical process. The obj files generated by the compiler include extra information that the linker needs to ensure that function calls between different obj files are correctly "joined up".


Editor:-



A text editor is used to edit plain text files.  Text editors differ from word processors, such as Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, in that they do not add additional formatting information to documents.  You might write a paper in Word, because it contains tools to change fonts, margins, and layout, but Word by default puts that formatting and layout information directly into the file, which will confuse the compiler.  If you open a .doc file in a text editor, you will notice that most of the file is formatting codes.  Text editors, however, do not add formatting codes, which makes it easier to compile your code.

Definition: 
An Editor is an program much like a Word Processor that you use to edit the Source Code of any program you write.

Most IDEs come with a built in editor and some will automatically highlight compile errors in the editor to simplify fixing them.


Console:-



(1) The combination of display monitor and keyboard (or other device that allows input). Another term for console is terminal. The term console usually refers to a terminal attached to a minicomputer or mainframe and used to monitor the status of the system.
(2) Another term for monitor or display screen.
(3) A bank of meters and lights indicating a computer's status, and switches that allow an operatorto control the computer in some way.
(4) A device specially made for game play called a video game console. The player interacts with the game through a controller, a hand-held device with buttons and analog joysticks or pads. Video and sound are received by the gamer though a television. See also console game.
(5) In Windows Home Server the Console is the application software you use to manage Windows Home Server from any of the computers on your home network. Here you can configure back-ups, access add-ins, configure folders, and change Windows Home Server settings.


Debugger:-



A special program used to find errors (bugs) in other programs. A debugger allows a programmer to stop a program at any point and examine and change the values of variables.

Most IDEs come with a built in editor and some will automatically highlight compile errors in the editor to simplify fixing them.
