Wordpress Tutorials, How-To's

[cprpoker]

I'd like to get a thread going of ideas for tutorials or how-to's from the PAL community. We have a few wordpress gurus floating around and we should take advantage of that!

So go ahead and post away!

Even tho i have a headache im gonna be nice and post a little something something.

Add a description(keyword works the same way ofcourse)
add it in your head and then use custum field: ID description and value your description

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo(get_post_meta($post->ID, "description", true)); ?>" />

If you using <?php wp_head(); ?> you can disable things you dont wanna use that are incuded in <?php wp_head(); ?>
Just add something like this in your functions.php

It needs to be inside <?php ?>

Remove Wp version in your head AND from your feeds

function remove_version_info() {
     return '';
}
add_filter('the_generator', 'remove_version_info');

If you use <!--more--> and dont want it to "jump" to the spot where the more is add this in functions.php

function remove_more_jump_link($link) { 
$offset = strpos($link, '#more-');
if ($offset) {
$end = strpos($link, '"',$offset);
}
if ($end) {
$link = substr_replace($link, '', $offset, $end-$offset);
}
return $link;
}
add_filter('the_content_more_link', 'remove_more_jump_link');

To remove url shorter in your head

remove_action('wp_head', 'shortlink_wp_head');

remove rel="EditURI" and rel="wlwmanifest" links, i dont remember what they do.

add_action('init', 'remheadlink');
function remheadlink() {
remove_action('wp_head', 'rsd_link');
remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');
}

Might post more later

Excellent sirtiner!!!

My thoughts on this would be that people that need help could request help and/or tutorials for doing certain things and that we (and other Wordpress folks) could fulfill those requests in a new post so they would stand out.

Your wp_head filter code reminded me of a security session from Wordcamp Boston last weekend, great slide deck that all WP admins should read:
