I like using a big plugin for SEO, otherwise multiple small plugins.

In my experience it takes from 80-160 hours to come up with a decent theme but that really depends on how much of your “framework” is ready for reuse.
One thing you might also consider is the need for support – this can easily consume whole days and go on for weeks if the theme sells well.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi,

thanks – didn’t know that reviewers are needed, heard about that call in the wpmail.me newsletter.
I am now setting up shop and will be in touch about the first review soon.

Cheers,

Comment on Theme-supported features by Justin Tadlock

Here's a few examples:

I'm building a site that has an extremely complex and dynamic sidebar system. WP's widgets and sidebars simply won't cut it here.
I don't use the visual editor, so the editor style feature is completely useless to me.
I don't use custom backgrounds because it's easier to do it via CSS.
I've worked on static, non-blog sites before. Those sites didn't need feed links.

I don’t understand why someone would want to turn off theme support for any of WordPress’ core features but I’m sure there’s people out there who will find a need to eliminate the extra bells and whistles they don’t need.

I always figured it’s better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it…

Thanks for the tutorial, uber helpful.

Comment on Goodbye, headaches. Hello, menus! by Eran Mahalu

Hi and thanks for the tutorial. I have one issue with it, though:
When I define a primary and secondary menu in the functions.php, and then call the secondary menu in a specific page – it shows both menus combined. How do I avoid it?

Thx Justin for a good tut. I am trying to use this and allow Admin to set Multiple Taxonomy term for each user. In your example, only 1 profession can be set for each. In my example, I Need to allow multiple Profession to be set. I have already changed my_edit_user_profession_section() to use checkbox instead of radio. 2 problems - How to save all checkbox selected. - How to make each selected checkbox checked Stuck on

and

* Sets the terms (we're just using a single term) for the user. */
  wp_set_object_terms( $user_id, array( $term ), 'profession', false);

Comment on One multi-task plugin vs. several single-task plugins? by Average Joe

I really think the single purpose simple plugin works better. Most users are looking to be able to do a single function or simple thing and with a small micro targeted plugin, you are more likely to be found. Sometimes the catch-all plugin gets bogged down and overlooked by people saying “thats too complicated” or “I don’t need all that”
