Direct seeding is best in the fall or early spring as soon as the ground thaws. Transplanting can be done in the fall or early spring as well, however coniferous trees and some deciduous trees and shrubs like lavender, and hazelnut require winter water and are prone to failure if planted in the fall and left without water.
WP_User_Query doesn’t give direct access to the user avatar, so how to show the avatar?
Regular profile fields are easy to reference from the codex.
But what about custom meta fields?
Displaying the avatar and other user meta with WP_User_Query isn’t quite straight forward. Some user profile data is returned by default, but user meta fields and avatar takes a little more effort.

Since there are already so many great articles out there about the usefulness of adding Schema.org Microdata to your HTML5 markup, I’ll let Google help you out on that.
I encountered a situation where I needed to change all microdata for single blog posts, archive pages, home page and any other place a blog post was displayed.
Let’s get started:

There are many reasons one might want to export the WordPress users and import them to another install. In my case, I needed to recreate a hacked website. I wanted to take all the content and migrate it without doing a full database restore for a database which might contain who-knows-what kind of evil hacker doo-doo.

The late summer/early fall is the perfect time to think about fall planted cover crops. Cover cropping is not just for big acreage, it’s great for gardens and even small container gardens.

Visiting David Holmgren’s property as an intern I had a distinct experience of abundance and harmonizing with the seasons. This was specifically related to food and eating. Modern food culture is one of instant gratification, at any given moment those with access and money can have just about anything they want. I make this distinction […]
My friends over in Denver have asked me to give a weekend workshop on gardening and permaculture in an urban setting. With a new baby in arms, they have a little less time and energy to get their spring garden in order. “Turning the Problem into the Solution” is a favorite permaculture catch phrase which applies very well to this […]
When I set out to change the settings for the default WordPress activation email subject, message and sender, I thought it would be a pretty obvious thing to change. I was wrong. Here’s what happens and how to customize it:
When a new user signs up a new WordPress account, they need to activate it and they receive a standard message […]
Creating the perfect, light fluffy and yummy pancake has been an ongoing goal of mine, one I now think I have perfected… and it happens to be gluten free.
I have been eating gluten-free for over 10 years after finding that I was sensitive to it. My energy levels increased dramatically. At first it was a pain reading labels, and figuring […]
