WordPress: Attempt to assign property “post_content” on null
I’ve hit this error a few times. The issue is with the wp_posts table, where for some reason when exporting/importing the database/table causes some issue with multiple posts having the same IDs for multiple posts.

Read MoreA Better Way to Blog in WordPress
I’ve been wanting to make my blog a litle more robust — almost just a dumping ground of random thoughts and notes, along with the occassional longer posts.

I had created a post type for news articles. Unfortunately, when categorizing the pages, and trying to view the category from the front end, those posts weren’t appearing. Apparently that doesn’t work for cusotm post types by default.

Read MoreWordPress Enable Tags for Custom Post Type
Just add this line when you register the post type: ‘taxonomies’ => array(‘category’, ‘post_tag’) So something like this for all of the code: register_post_type( ‘customtype’, array( ‘labels’ => array( ‘name’ => __( ‘CustomType’ ), ‘singular_name’ => __( ‘CustomType’ ) ), ‘supports’ => array( ‘title’,’page-attributes’,’description’,’editor’, ‘thumbnail’ ), ‘public’ => true, ‘has_archive’ => true, ‘rewrite’ => array(‘slug’ => ‘customtype’), ‘taxonomies’ => array(‘category’, ‘post_tag’) ) );

Use this, seems to work pretty well. Note, that you don’t want to add any padding on the target element, otherwise it will show text beyond the overflow: .blog-tile-excerpt{ display: -webkit-box; -webkit-line-clamp: 3; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; overflow: hidden; }
