Make sure your icons are located in your theme’s images folder. You can get some free icons here.

Then add this to your theme wherever you want the buttons to show up:

<?php custom_social_media_links(); ?>

You can wrap that last bit of code in a div and style it with CSS.

For example, I have placed my code with this:

 <p class="share"><strong>Share:</strong><?php custom_social_media_links(); ?> </p>

Styled it with this:

 .share {width:100%;
    	padding: 0.4em 0 0.4em 0;
    	font-size: 1.2em;
    	line-height: 1.6em;
    	color: #888;
    	clear: both;
    	border-bottom-width: thin;
    	border-bottom-style: solid;
    	border-bottom-color: #000000;
    }

So it looks like this:

You can add or remove any of the share links/icons you want by editing the function code above.

First, create your custom logo. The image should be 32 by 32 pixels wide. Upload the image to your theme’s image folder. Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php.

//Dashboard Logo
add_action('admin_head', 'custom_dashboard_logo');

function custom_dashboard_logo() {
echo '<style>#header-logo {
 background-image: url(
 '.get_bloginfo ('template_directory').'/images/dashboard-logo.gif)
 !important; } </style>';
}

In my example, I named the image dashboard-logo.gif. You can name it whatever you want but make sure it matches the CSS.

How to customize your WordPress dashboard header CSS:

Open up your theme’s function.php and add the following code:

/* Change WordPress dashboard CSS */
function custom_colors() {
echo '<style>#wphead{background:#ffffcc;} #site-title{color:#000000;}</style>';
}
add_action('admin_head', 'custom_colors');

I used the #wphead and #site-title in my example but you can overwrite any of the header css with this function.
How to customize the footer text:

Add this to your theme’s functions.php.

//Dashboard Footer
function remove_footer_admin () {
    echo 'Powered by <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a> | Designed by <a href="http://www.yoursite.com" target="_blank">Your Name</a></p>';
    }

    add_filter('admin_footer_text', 'remove_footer_admin');

As great as this new feature is, suppose you don’t want anyone to see an admin bar on your site. Maybe it conflicts with your site design or you just don’t like the functionality. Removing the admin bar is easy, just add the following to your theme functions.php:

/ Disable the Admin Bar. /

add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );

/ Remove the Admin Bar preference in user profile /

remove_action( 'personal_options', '_admin_bar_preferences' );

If you want to hide it from everyone except the admins you can use this instead:

/ Disable the Admin Bar for all but admins. /

if(!current_user_can('administrator')):

show_admin_bar(false);

endif;

/ Remove the Admin Bar preference in user profile /

remove_action( 'personal_options', '_admin_bar_preferences' );

Note: This is for self-hosted blogs running WordPress 3.1 only.

To use this technique you will need a text editor, an ftp client, and ftp access to your server. I recommend using TextWrangler for code editing and Cyberduck for the ftp client if you do not have Adobe Dreamweaver. As always, before making any changes to your files, make sure you back-up your database and theme files.

For this tutorial I’ll use the public style/member style scenario. Ready?

Here’s how to do it:

For the public style of the site you will continue to use the regular header.php and style.css.

For the member style you will need to do as follows:

Open up header.php in a texteditor and rename it by saving as memberheader.php and then upload this file. This essentially makes a copy of the original header but with a new name.

Open up style.css and rename it by saving as memberstyle.css and then upload this file. This makes a copy of the original stylesheet but with a new name.

Attach that new stylesheet to your new header by finding

<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>

in the memberheader.php and replacing with with the file path to your new memberstyle.css stylesheet e.g.

http://www.yourwebsite/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/newstyle.css

Now create a page template. Open up index.php or page.php in your text editor and save/upload as committeepages.php.

Add this to the very top of the page template before all other code:

<?php /* Template Name: Committee Pages*/?>

Now find this:

<?php get_header(); ?>

And replace it with this:

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/memberheader.php'); ?>

Now the theme has not one but TWO stylesheets. For all member pages just go to edit pages in the admin of your site, select the page to edit, then select your new template and that new stylesheet will apply to it. Leaving the page set to the Default will keep the original header and style.css.

To make the member pages look different from the public pages just edit either one of the stylesheets and change the look/layout there.
