Trying To Understand WordPress's Capabilities

Trying To Understand WordPress’s Capabilities

I recently finished a WordPress project that needed a “podcast” custom post type.

I then changed the capability_type argument to “podcast”, and the custom post type disappeared completely.

Login from iOS to WordPress with OAuth2

Login from iOS to WordPress with OAuth2

In the previous tutorial we learned how to use basic cookie authentication to login from iOS to your self hosted WordPress installation.

Foundation 6 Menu Walker Class for WordPress

Foundation 6 Menu Walker Class for WordPress

It’s about that time again. New menu walkers for the new and improved Foundation 6.

WordPress: Add Controls to the Customizer Preview Window

If you’re a WordPress theme developer you are probably familiar with the famous/infamous Customizer. Some developers leverage it and some do not. I’m a huge fan of the customizer.
