If you use the div #dashboard-widgets-wrap it prints in the same … Read more
Every string goes through translate(), which uses the gettext filter. This mean you can try something like this: add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘wpse6096_gettext’, 10, 2 ); function wpse6096_gettext( $translation, $original ) { if ( ‘Nickname’ == $original ) { return ‘Funny name’; } if ( ‘Biographical Info’ == $original ) { return ‘Resume’; } return $translation; } … Read more

Adding fields to the user profile page can be done: 1) manually Following Justin Tadlock’s tutorial: Adding and using custom user profile … Read more
What I do for almost every site with multiple authors: Create a separate blog for meta discussions, for example meta.example.com. Use P2 as theme. Install Authenticator to allow access for members only. Install something like Inform about Content, so the members get an email whenever something new was posted.

Has been a long time since I had this issue so did not think that would happen. But it did. This was because two different users have uploaded … Read more
