A Call To Action (CTA) is one of the most important elements of a website. It helps guide visitors to take action—such as clicking a button, learning more about your service, or contacting you. WordPress makes this easy using Gutenberg Block Patterns.

Here I am sharing you how to add a Call To Action section in WordPress using the Gutenberg editor, step by step.

If you are using Smart Theme v3 by OptimizePress, you may have noticed that there is no built-in option to automatically show your latest blog posts at the end of every article.

In this guide, I will show you exactly how to add a “Latest Articles” section at the bottom of each blog post using a simple PHP function.
No plugin is required (except Code Snippets if you don’t use a child theme).

This is the result you will get:

The WordPress 2025 default theme (Twenty Twenty-Five) is fully block-based and powered entirely by the Gutenberg Site Editor. Unlike classic themes, you can now customize every part of your website—including the footer—using block patterns, template parts, and visual editing tools.

If you’re new to WordPress block themes, editing the footer may feel confusing at first. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the exact steps (with screenshots) to locate, edit, replace, or recreate the footer using the full site editor.

Step 1: Open the Site Editor

From your WordPress dashboard:

1. Go to Appearance → Editor
2. This will open the Full Site Editing (FSE) interface.

Your screen should look like the design panel shown in your screenshots.

If you want to add a reusable button to your WordPress posts or pages, creating a simple shortcode is the easiest way. With this shortcode, you can place a custom button anywhere on your website by passing a URL and button label as parameters.

This means you can use the same shortcode on multiple posts while changing only the link and text. For example:

[button url="https://google.com" label="Google"]
[button url="https://yahoo.com" label="Yahoo"]

Below is the code you need to add to your functions.php file. This custom shortcode will generate a styled button with hover effects, and it automatically opens the link in a new tab.

Disclaimer: This technique is specially for wordpress.com sites

If you’re planning to build a Headless WordPress site using React or Next.js, one of the first things you’ll need is your WordPress.com Site ID. This Site ID allows you to connect your WordPress.com content with modern frontend frameworks through the WordPress.com REST API.

When I updated my WordPress site to PHP 8.3, both the Jetimpex Dashboard (tm-dashboard) and TM Photo Gallery (tm-photo-gallery) plugins caused fatal errors, breaking the site.

After debugging, I identified compatibility issues with deprecated PHP functions and syntax changes introduced in PHP 8.3.

Add the code below to your theme’s functions.php or use Code Snippet Plugins. Then Go to Tools > Duplicate Media in your WordPress admin, Click “Find Duplicates” to see what would be affected. Backup your Site and Media first, then click “Remove Duplicates”

For coders sometimes it is needed to show something only for mobile in template fiile. So here is the coding

for functions.php file

function is_mobile_device() {
    $user_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ?? '';
    $mobile_agents = ['Android', 'iPhone', 'iPad', 'iPod', 'Windows Phone', 'BlackBerry'];
    
    foreach ($mobile_agents as $agent) {
        if (stripos($user_agent, $agent) !== false) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

in template file ( like single.php, page.php etc)

 <?php
 
  $is_mobileb = wp_is_mobile() || is_mobile_device();
  if( $is_mobileb){ 
    
?> 
YOUR CODE WILL GO HERE
