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.

As some of our frequent readers know I`m working as a wordpress developer and support for many sites, and I`ve used countless wordpress plugins for contact forms but I`ve never found one that fits my needs completely.

For those of you who still don`t get about which menu I`m talking about […]

I find the fact that fontsize and fontselector menus are locked by default in wordpress text editor very frustrating.

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 […]
