Removing same part of the file in Windows
Once upon the time… All right, it was yesterday. I had to clean up some site, than someone build long time ago. There was an image library, it contains hundreds of images. And it is ok, but all of the images contains “image_” prefix. And all of the images are in /images folder. Unnecessary redundancy I though to myself and I decided to remove “image_” prefix for all image files. And I almost open PHP editor to write short script… And then I thought – damn, we’ve got shell here, it’s Windows! So I opened Windows PowerShell and wrote something like this: PS C:\server\sites\old-site\images> get-childitem | foreach { rename-item $_…

How to add your custom css or js on admin screen?
How to add your custom CSS or JS on admin screen? Well, it’s pretty easy. We need to hook into admin_enqueue_scripts action and this is the best and only solution. So, let’s write some code: [crayon-651dc441eb785893042853/] Please note the $hook variable. Thanks to its value you may enqueue your scripts/styles depending on active admin screen. It is important, because you should not enqueue your scripts or styles where it isn’t necessary. Second thing, first conditional is_admin. It’s pretty obvious, but I have to mention it. Do not even hook into admin_enqueue when you are not on admin screen.

Hey, admin, hide your login!
I bet, that you, as a WordPress developer, knows very well that using “admin” for your administrator account isn’t very clever. Or “administrator”. Or something like that. Once I saw “root”. Even WordPress installer will let you know that. Use something different. Maybe “top-secret-user”. It is good thing, that is true. Why we should avoid that? Because attacker may discover your administrator account login and may use it (in some top secret magical way) to attack your site. It isn’t a joke, it is a possibility. So, everybody should knows that and apply this to their sites. But… There is a small trick about that… Many sites may reveal your…
