PLUGIN: Reveal IDS for WP Admin

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

With WordPress 2.5 being released, the IDs on all admin pages have been removed as it is. Propably due to the fact that the common user dont need them. However, for advanced WordPress Users/ developers those IDs were quite interesting for some plugins or template tags.

What Reveal IDs WP Admin does is to reveal most removed entry IDs on admin pages, showing the entry IDs, as it was in versions prior to 2.5 Read More→

PLUGIN: Page Links To

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Page Links To is a plugin that allows you to make a WordPress page or post link to a URL of your choosing, instead of its WordPress page or post URL. It also will redirect people who go to the old (or “normal”) URL to the new one you’ve chosen (301 Moved Permanently redirects are standard, but you can choose a 302 Moved Temporarily redirect if you wish).

This functionality is useful for setting up navigational links to non-WordPress sections of your site or to off-site resources.

You can also use it to create a hand-crafted menu that links to pages, posts, categories, or anything within your site.
