WordPress Hacks accross the Web
Change the WordPress HTML Editor Font
One of the new feature that has been rolled out with version 3.2 is the change of the font for the HTML editor to a monoscope font which os ofcourse not so good as the previous version and isn’t so distraction free when you are trying to write.
add_action( ‘admin_head-post-new.php’, ‘cwc_fix_html_editor_font’ );
function cwc_fix_html_editor_font() { ?>
<style type="text/css">#editorcontainer #content, #wp_mce_fullscreen
{ font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; }
</style>
<?php }
This will give you a font stack of: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitsstream Charter, Times, Serif
You can change the font to what ever you desire to.

Implement Maintenance Mode
If you want to work on your blog and want the traffic to be blocked from the main website, maintenance mode is the best option. Add the following code snippet to your “functions.php” with in your template folder or your theme folder.
function maintenace_mode() {
if ( !current_user_can( ‘edit_themes’ ) || !is_user_logged_in() ) {
die(‘Maintenance.’);
}
}
add_action(‘get_header’, ‘maintenace_mode’);
</pre>
SImplify your WordPress Login URL
If you want your wordpress login URL to be short like this http://yoursite.com/login instead of http://yoursite.com/wp-login. This makes working with many authors a whole lot easier. Add the folowing code to “.htaccess”
Split Post Comments and Trackbacks
One bit of functionality which hasn’t been seen in wordpress at all is the ability to split between post comments and trackbacks. The two are entirely different and can be very confusing seeing them put together. This short bit of code should be added into your commnets.php file inside themes folder.
<?php // only comments
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <?php if($comment_type == ‘comment’) { ?>
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <li>//Comment code goes here </li>
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <?php }
endforeach;
</ul>
<ul>
<?php // only trackbacks
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <?php if($comment_type != ‘comment’) { ?>
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <li> <?php comment_author_link() ?></li>
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <?php }
endforeach;
</ul>
