WordPress Wednesday
Do you have a question about WordPress? Is there something that you want to do with your site that you can’t figure out how to do? A problem?
Ask The Web Mechanic!
On Wednesdays I will take questions and provide answers to your WordPress questions. You can fix many of the problems you might have with WordPress yourself, given a point in the right direction. Some problems may need “professional help”… I’ll let you know that as well.
Ask away!











How can I use a different font in my blog???
Hi Jim,
That’s true, when you are in your WordPress editor, there isn’t a button to change the font that your theme uses for text. Did you know that there is a plugin that you can use to add a number of new functions to your editor?(including font choices) Its called TinyMCE Advanced. Just add it to your plugins and then go to your admin/settings and click on TinyMCE. In the next screen you’ll be able to select over 40 new buttons/features to add to your WordPress editor!

Is there any plugin or something to allow people to upload files to certain restricted folders only, depending on user, role or whatever?
Hi Gustav
It sounds like you might be looking for something like a document manager plugin, which to my knowledge, doesn’t yet exist for WordPress. There is the Private Files plugin. Maybe that could be of use…. Let me know!
I notice that you are on wordpress.com, do be aware that they are limited in the plugins that they allow.
