If you have a multi-authors WordPress blog, by default WordPress allow contributors or authors to see all posts in the Admin Panel. However if you want to disable this privilege. Here is a code snippet ..

<?php

function mypo_parse_query_useronly( $wp_query ) {
    if ( strpos( $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ], '/wp-admin/edit.php' ) !== false ) {
        if ( !current_user_can( 'level_10' ) ) {
            global $current_user;
            $wp_query->set( 'author', $current_user->id );
        }
    }
}

add_filter('parse_query', 'mypo_parse_query_useronly' );

?>

Just copy and insert code snippet into your theme “functions.php” file. That’s it.

Its true, WordPress automatically puts some paragraphs tags all over your posts. Of course it considered a useful feature. But sometimes it creates a lot of troubles for Programmers and Template Designers. So you can remove the paragraph tags by using filter into the “functions.php” file of worpdress theme.

remove_filter ('the_content', 'wpautop');

Once saved, WordPress no longer inserts paragraph tags into your post contents.

A lot of bloggers don’t care about WordPress blog security. For example, when someone attempt fail login on your ‘wp-login.php’. it’s displays an error message “ERROR: Invalid username or password”. That kind of information is very useful for the potential hackers. This simple trick help you to hide those messages from others.

Please editit your Theme -> ‘functions.php‘ file and paste the following code snippet.

add_filter('login_errors', create_function('$a', "return null;"));

Once done, you will no longer receive error notifications.

I learnt this trick a few days ago, its possible to embed  your images, text files into your wordpress blog posts. WordPress short code API is a easiest way to to add external files in your wordpress posts.

First open your theme “functions.php” and put the following code snippet:

function show_file_func( $atts ) {
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'file' => ''
), $atts ) );

if ($file!='')
return @file_get_contents($file);
}
add_shortcode( 'show_file', 'show_file_func' );

After that, you can write somthing like that in your post:

[show_file file="http://www.yourdomain.com/file.html"]
