Ever wanted to protect your admin area from access by non-admin users? Try adding this to your functions.php.
add_action('auth_redirect','custom_admin_access');
function custom_admin_access() {
global $current_user;
if( !current_user_can('manage_options') && is_admin() ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
}
}
Status: Due to my being overworked at the moment, I am only “sort of” supporting this plugin. If you need full time support I recommend Popup Domination
Nothing is more exciting than when a clients needs collides with a developers interests. I’ve been wanting to write this plugin for a while but never had the time to make it a priority … at least not until this week when a client requested. Synergy! I started writing it this morning and couldn’t stop until I had something releasable.
So here is is. Just upload and activate.

This is the first in what I hope will be a series of posts on “WordPress Hacks”, simple code you can add to functions.php to make your life as a developer a little easier.
Ever get tired of typing get_post_meta($post->ID, $meta_key, $true); to fetch even the simplest of WordPress custom field values. Try this.
add_action('the_post','setup_meta_var');
function setup_meta_var() {
global $wp_query,$meta;
$vals = get_post_custom($data->ID);
foreach($vals as $k => $v)
{
if(count($v) > 1):
$meta[$k] = $v;
else:
$meta[$k] = $v[0];
endif;
}
}
What this dandy little function does is automatically assign a post or page’s custom values to a global variable call $meta.
To use your custom field values now, you simply have the do echo the meta_key like so:
global $meta; echo $meta['meta_key'];
If there is more than one value for that custom field, you will simply need to do a standard foreach loop.
global $meta;
foreach($meta['meta_key'] as $m) {
echo $m;
}
Update: Hey, I realized that in the code snippet I pasted here I was setting a $type variable. That was a relic of the custom script this code was taken from … so please ignore.
