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

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

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.

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

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 ); […]
