    We need a LoDash for WordPress

    in

    For those who don’t know: LoDash is a utility library for JavaScript that contains functions that make common tasks easier.

You have a set…

    Using JavaScript modules in your WordPress plugins

    in

    Modules are nothing new in JavaScript programming, and it’s a good practice to modularize your code. WordPress does not offer the option to load scripts as modules out of the box. There’s a ticket from mid 2022, but it hasn’t gained much traction yet. So we need a workaround for the time being. Fortunately, WordPress…

    in

Well… … if I want to add some functionality and nowhere near or far there is an action hook in the core but only a filter hook,…

  • WordPress – You’ve got updates!

    in

    On March, 11th an update of the popular plugin “WordPress SEO” was published because the previous version contains serious security vulnerabilities (CSRF and blind SQL injection).

  • New version of Linklist (v0.4) WordPress plugin

    in ,

    New ideas for pagebar v3 – Part 2: Customization by Drag’n Drop

    in ,

    Though pagebar is quite customizable you can’t define the overall look. “Previous page” is always on the most left, followed by “First” and so on but maybe you want the elements in a different order. I’m not aware that any of the paging plugins provide this feature, pagebar hopefully will do so in the next…
