Plugin API Plugin API Languages: বাংলা • English • Español • Français • 日本語 • 한국어 • Português do Brasil • ไทย • 中文(简体) • Русский • (Add your language) Introduction This page documents the API (Application Programming Interface) hooks available to WordPress plugin developers, and how to use them. This article assumes you have already read Writing a Plugin, which gives an overview (and many details) of how to develop a plugin. These hooks may also be used in themes, as described here. Hooks, Actions and Filters Hooks are provided by WordPress to allow your plugin to 'hook into' the rest of WordPress; that is, to call functions in your plugin at specific times, and thereby set your plugin in motion. You can sometimes accomplish the same goal with either an action or a filter. For a thorough listing of all action and filter hooks in WP see Adam Brown's WordPress Hooks Database.

Ultimate Guide to Roles and Capabilities | Gary Cao Since Roles and Capabilities are introduced in WordPress 2.0, the User Level approach has been declared deprecated. However, it’s disappointing that a lot of plugins and themes out there still use user levels to control access to admin option pages and other functionalities. This guide shows you how to properly use Roles and Capabilities in your plugins and themes. Note: This article is a long one, therefore you should probably bookmark it so that you can always come back later for reference. Table of Contents What are Roles and Capabilities? As in other CMS and web applications, WordPress has a built-in system to verify whether a particular user has enough privilege to take a certain action. This system of Roles and Capabilities is much more flexible than User Level, since it enables you to add, remove or reassign capabilities among roles. Capabilities and administration menus As you can see, there’s always a required parameter called capability for each of those functions. WP_Role Class

Fluency Admin 3.2 | Forty Seven Robots Frequently Asked Questions What browsers does this work in? Fluency Admin has been tested in the latest versions of Safari, Firefox. Users of Internet Explorer may experience some display "issues" to to each browsers particular css-handling ability. Only minimal Internet Explorer testing has been done, no compatibility guarantees. I may fix bugs where possible, if they are pointed out - some probably can't be fixed. Why doesn't my plugin work with Fluency? The majority of plugins should work without issue when Fluency is activated, however there are a few that don't for one reason or another. Most common cause of a plugins incompatibility are highly custom admin pages, ie. those that don't follow the standard WordPress admin design. It's worth noting that most issues that other plugins have are due to poorly designed/coded admin pages, some of these issues I can 'hack' around with css, but many should be fixed by the author of the plugin in question.

Gridlock 1.5 — archives dot eston bond dot com This theme has a theme of its own: being perpetually late. Originally released a year after I took it down as hyalineskies 6 in 2005, I’ve been completely plastered with multiple bug fixes, feature requests and other such development-related work since June 2007 when I stopped actively developing it. Since then, the Web has changed a lot. Gridlock, well, didn’t. I’ve got something to say, though: Gridlock’s back. One of the first magazine-style themes for WordPress When Gridlock was originally released, WordPress themes were still primitive, Blogger-like themes. Connected to social media. I love social media and design, so Gridlock should too. No messy code edits. Gridlock has been built to integrate its advanced features directly into the WordPress administration panel, so absolutely no editing of the Gridlock source code is required. An open project Gridlock is also an open project, licenced under a Creative Commons licence.
