In the sites I support I`ve seen many problems with the case-sensitivity of permalinks. As you might now part of the wordpress permalink sanitization process is converting the permalink to lowercase. In order to deal with the endless errors in webmaster tools I needed to find a way to reroute the requests for the uppercase […]
I`m currently developing WordPress plugins on several servers and I noticed that on some configurations you can`t use $_SESSIONS in your plugins, so I though it will be a good part of our wordpress tutorials section to write about fixing this problem.

I`m supporting several big multisite networks and yesterday one of my clients asked me to make a menu next to “My Sites”, which will have exactly the same structure but sites will be listed by domain instead of by site title. For those of you who still don`t get about which menu I`m talking about […]
*This doesn’t seem to work for the newer versions of WordPress(above 3.7.x). I’ve made a new plugin for them here. I find the fact that fontsize and fontselector menus are locked by default in wordpress text editor very frustrating. Nevertheless unlocking them is very easy(so I decided that it is worth of writing a wordpress […]
After reading different point of views and experimenting with solutions for months I finally decided to write a wordpress tutorial about what seems to be the right way of implementing WordPress`s TinyMCE in your plugins. I`ve tried every possible known way and they either didn`t work or broke every editor in the site. Most of […]
Recently i had to find a way to List subcategories the way wordpress lists posts. After some extensive searching and facepalming that this isn`t included in the built-in functionality I started researching how to develop this and stumbled upon wordpress page templates. I found that to be the easiest way to build and use custom […]
