A cool thing I just discovered will working on the WPMovieLibrary tabbed metabox: use CSS siblings and :target pseudo-class to build a full-CSS tab menu.

A way to Implement AJAX in WP_List_Table
I’ve been playing with WordPress’ WP_List_Table for a while now, but since the first day the truly missing feature was an AJAX loading. And I finally managed to find time to put some work on it, I couldn’t find any real documentation about we actually do that, apart from a two-years old StackExchange question that …

WordPress Network: Cookie error when using different domains
This is a recurring I have with my website: I can’t get my WordPress Network to work properly when using different, unrelated domains.

FluxBB: anti-spam alternative to CAPTCHAs and HoneyPots
Prior to anything this should be very clear from the start: CAPTCHAs and/or HoneyPots are commonly used, really efficient techniques to counter spam on forums.

WordPress : administration centralisée sur plusieurs installations

WordPress Login page complete redesign
The first time I went through the login process of WordPress, I told myself I would probably have to take some time to customize a bit that page. That was, well, four or five years ago. I’m not telling that WordPress default login is useless, ulgy or badly crafted; I’m merely stating that it could …

Bref, j’ai acheté un plugin WordPress.
