## تفصیل

Extended Options manages certain meta data and content add-ins from within the WordPress
dashboard. This plugin adds the capacity for meta data and content added to the 
footer and `head` areas to be kept consistent regardless of a theme change or upgrade.

Extended Options is for WordPress 2.6.x and, more specifically, manages following
meta links and tweaks:

 * Archive meta links
 * Relationship meta links
 * Favicon meta links (blog and dashboard)
 * OpenID meta links
 * MicroID meta links
 * Geo tag meta links
 * Robots meta links
 * Enabling/disabling author archives
 * Enabling/disabling 404 headers
 * Enforcing `www.` preference
 * Protocol discovery meta links (Atom, RSD, WLW)
 * Enabling/disabled generator meta link
 * General meta add-in content
 * General comment form add-in content
 * General footer add-in content

While this collection of meta data and tweaks appear random, these are specific 
modifications I grew tired of making whenever I activated a different theme or upgraded
an old one. I needed a plugin to manage these needs that didn’t overlap significantly
with other plugins I used.

Special thanks to some awesome code integrated (and possibly modified) with Extended
Options.

Thanks to those fellows for providing excellent plugins to the community.

### Use

Access the Extended Options menu from _Dashboard > Settings > Extended_ to set the
plugin options. To use this plugin, you do not need to edit any theme files or WordPress
core files.

Everything this plugin does happens based on settings in the _Extended_ menu. Extended
Options does require, however, the following hooks/actions to be present in the 
certain files of your active theme.

 * `wp_head()` should be present in your `header.php` theme file.
 * `wp_footer()` should be present in your `footer.php` theme file.
 * `do_action( 'comment_form', $post->ID )` should be present in your `comments.
   php` theme file.

If your theme files are missing these, please contact the theme author and ask him
or her nicely to correct these omissions.

## عمومی سوالات

  What does this plugin do?

Extended Options keeps meta data and certain WordPress functionality tweaks consistent
regardless of the active theme. In other words, you no longer need to edit the `
header.php` file each time you change or upgrade your theme. Extended Options uses
built-in WordPress functions to keep this information consistent regardless or your
active theme.

Extended Options also ‘tweaks’ certain default WordPress behaviors, such as inserting
the WordPress generator link, producing, allowing/disallowing the `www.` prefix 
in your URL, turning off author archives (i.e., if you have a single-author blog),
automatically inserting certain discovery links for various protocols, etc.

  That’s great. But I also have to edit the footer.php files for each of my themes.
Can extended options also help me with my footer?

Yes. You can insert your copyright, disclaimer, etc., regardless of your theme’s`
footer.php` file automatically with Extended Options.

  Nice. What about the comment form? I usually put a comment license there.

Yes, you can add your comment license with Extended Options regardless of your theme’s`
comments.php` theme file.

  And I don’t have to edit any of the theme files? Because that’s tedious stuff.

No. Well, probably not. See the _Use_ section. A well-built theme will include the
various hooks/actions necessary for Extended Options to operate properly. If your
theme doesn’t include this, consider better themes and/or contact the theme author
to correct these omissions.

  I will. By the way, I’m using one of your themes. Will they work with this plugin?

Damn right they will. And thanks for using a [plaintxt.org theme](http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/).

  I deactivated and then reactivated this plugin. Where did my settings go?

They were deleted for ever and ever and ever. Upon deactivating, this plugins deletes
all its stored data from your WordPress database. Tidy? Yes. A surprise just now?
Definitely.

  I am confused by MicroID/OpenID/Geo Tags/favicons/robots/etc. Will you explain
what they do?

No. Links have been provided in the _Extended_ options menu to sources that provide
better information than I can. Nothing this plugin does can harm your blog in any
way.

  I have an OpenID and know my server and delegate URIs. What’s this stuff about
a Yadis/XRDS URI?

Didn’t I just mention something about explaining? Sigh. This is a discovery link
for second version of the OpenID protocol. You don’t need to supply this URI unless
you know it. This particular meta link is optional even if OpenID is enabled.

  I already have a robots.txt file. Do I need to set robots meta links?

Probably not, unless your robots text file doesn’t specify search results and/or
404 pages (which it probably won’t). So those are two good options to enable even
if you have a `robots.txt` file.

  What happens if my robots.txt says it’s OK to visit a particular page, but then
my robots meta link setting produces a nollow and/or noindex meta link?

The page will not be indexed.

  And what about if my robots.txt prohibits a robot/spider from visiting a page 
I say it can follow links and/or index?

The page will not be indexed.

  I want to put my favicon(s) in different location(s) than those available in the
Extended Options menu. Can I?

Yes. But you’ll need to add your own meta link and disable this option in the _Extended_
options menu.

  That’s lame.

Yes. Except you probably shouldn’t keep your favicon any where else other than your
root directory. And plus you can just use a base 64 encoded string for a favicon
too.

  That’s fun.

Yes, it is.

  After I enter some HTML code in to the the meta/comment/footer add-in fields and
save, my HTML gets stripped out. What gives?

The user account you are logged in to while saving this code must have a user level
that allows saving unfiltered HTML, i.e., administrator level. Otherwise, your code
gets sanitized for security. If you can add HTML to a text widget, then you should
be able to add code to these add-ins.

  What about the various protocol (Atom, RSD, WLM) meta links? What happens if I
disabled them all?

Nothing, except you won’t be able to use third-party blog clients to post to your
blog. And that’s about it. These discovery links won’t affect your visibility.

  Oh. So I should probably just disable those, right?

Yes, you should.

  I’d like to modify this plugin in some way unavailable through its options menu.
Will you help me?

No. I apologize as I am unable to help with modifications with any of my plugins.

  Thanks.

You’re very welcome.
