Redirect users from WordPress admin pages

NetWebLogic — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 09:39:59 +0000

After some time looking at the various user-restriction/membership style plugins, I realized that there wasn’t a quick and easy way to ban normal users from all of the wp-admin pages. Fortunately, wordpress makes this sort of customization easy with its amazing API. These four lines of code are all that’s needed: function my_wp_admin_ban(){ if( !current_user_can('activate_plugins') [...] Related posts:

Cursor Trail

This is a pretty simple plugin and probably as useless as they get! This was inspired by David Walsh’s MooTools implementation. Check out his demo to see functionality, it’s the same thing except you can control the fade speed and cursor image, as long with start/end dates for special occasions. Activate it for Valentines Day [...] No related posts.

Single string with multiple translations

Multilingual wordpress sites are not as straight-foward to create as you may think (unless you’re using multi-site). There are various plugins that make this easier, although they all lack something or other (my favourite is qTranslate so far). It gets tricky when you add custom text to sidebars, other plugins, or your themes. It’s not [...] No related posts.

Adding & Removing Allowed FileTypes To WordPress Media Library

NetWebLogic — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 08:00:59 +0000

WordPress has a set of restricted filetypes it will allow you to upload via the media library. Whilst this is a great security feature, there may be times where you’d like to add other files that are restricted by default, or maybe even the opposite where you’d only like to allow a few extensions to [...] Related posts:

Choosing the right WordPress plugins

NetWebLogic — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 14:13:42 +0000

When choosing WordPress plugins, you need to keep in mind that these are open source, therefore each plugin is maintained by someone for free. Choosing the right plugin may be an important decision and if you think long-term you may save yourself some headaches in the future. Related posts:

Security is Relative

Matt posted a small bit regarding the recent alert NetworkSolutions put up claiming that there was a vulnerability (not giving a link either, undeserved). Turns out that the issue had nothing to do with wordpress, and more to do with their file permissions. His aptly titled post, Secure File Permissions Matter raises a good point [...] Related posts:

Submitting a form on WordPress leads to a not found page?

NetWebLogic — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:21:30 +0000

I found a little niggle in WordPress when creating a custom form using shortcodes and plain PHP/HTML for processing. Turns out if your form uses $_POST['name'] in your form, WP does not like that and serves a Not Found (404) page. Changing that input field name to a different one, say surname, fixed the problem [...] Related posts:
