wpsnipp wordpress snippets

When building a plugin that has its own settings page, it’s often handy to create a link to the settings page straight from the Plugins page in the dashboard – this saves users the time it takes to find where exactly your plugin appears in the admin menu. Here is a simple code snippet that creates the settings link for you – all you need to do is set the link to point to the right place. This code must be placed in your plugin’s index file.

Fantastic snippet from Perishable Press this snippet is great for security protecting wordpress against malicious URL requests. But even better this is now available as a plugin so grab the Free or Pro version. This will examine all incoming traffic and quietly block bad requests containing nasty stuff like eval(, base64_, and excessively long request-strings. You can view the free version in the WordPress plugin repository and a Pro version from plugin-planet.com.
