Here’s a fun one. Let’s say you want to rename Cart to something else, like Bag or Briefcase. It can be tricky to find all of the places to make that change. You can, of course, edit the templates within WooCommerce, or even copy the templates into your theme to avoid crushing your changes when […]

This one bugged me on one site I was building, but the solution is pretty simple. Just add the following snippet to your functions.php: // Remove WooCommerce Catalog Ordering Dropdown remove_action( ‘woocommerce_pagination’, ‘woocommerce_catalog_ordering’, 20); Twitter Facebook Google+ LinkedIn

On many of the sites I build, customers want clean HTML and as close to obfuscation for the platform as possible. That inevitably means removing various plugin generators. One in particular that’s tricky is WooCommerce due to the way it’s added with the global $woocommerce variable. To accomplish this feat, add the following to your […]

Here’s a simple function and hook combo you can add to your functions.php to dequeue the Affiliates Pro default stylesheets. function remove_affiliates_stylesheets() { wp_dequeue_style(‘affiliates’); wp_deregister_style( ‘affiliates’ ); } add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘remove_affiliates_stylesheets’, 101 ); You may alternatively need to swap the wp_print_styles with wp_enqueue_scripts like so: add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘remove_affiliates_stylesheets’, 101 ); Twitter Facebook Google+ LinkedIn

OK, a simple one to start this thing off. If you’re writing PHP and you need to debug something and print some output to your error logs, here’s a nice custom debugging function that’s easier than the default error_log function. Certainly makes my life a lot easier. if(!function_exists(‘_error_log’)){ function _error_log( $stuff ) { if( WP_DEBUG […]

To kick things off, here’s a neat trick I recently figured out. One of my clients needed to enforce alphanumeric usernames so that users couldn’t enter email addresses and such as valid usernames. Turns out there’s a nice filter validate_username which does the trick nicely. You may need to customize the regex expression but here’s […]

Just add the following snippet to your functions.php: function custom_bbp_no_breadcrumb ($param) { return true; } add_filter (‘bbp_no_breadcrumb’, ‘custom_bbp_no_breadcrumb’); Twitter Facebook Google+ LinkedIn

Not the best way to go about it perhaps, but it works. Add the following filter to functions.php: // Remove the automatic width and height on images added by WordPress function remove_thumbnail_dimensions( $html, $post_id, $post_thumbnail_id, $size, $attr ) { $html = preg_replace( ‘/(width|height)=\”\d*\”\s/’, “”, $html ); return $html; } add_filter( ‘post_thumbnail_html’, ‘remove_thumbnail_dimensions’, 10, 5 ); […]
