You would need to remove the capability for a Editor role to manage_categories add_action( ‘init’, ‘remove_editor_manage_categories’ ); function remove_editor_manage_categories() { $role = get_role( ‘editor’ ); $role->remove_cap( ‘manage_categories’ ); } Source http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_cap
You need to redirect everytime WordPress looks for wp-login.php. You can do the same by using the below in your active theme’s functions.php file. function redirect_login_page(){ // Store for checking if this page equals wp-login.php $page_viewed = basename( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] ); // permalink to the custom login page $login_page = get_permalink( ‘CUSTOM_LOGIN_PAGE_ID’ ); if( $page_viewed == … Read more
To get the permalink of a users most recent post (of custom post type) perform the following query: $latest = get_posts(array( ‘author’ => $current_user->ID, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘post_type’ => ‘my_custom_post_type’, ‘order’ => ‘desc’, ‘numberposts’ => 1, )); if( $latest ) { $url = get_permalink($latest[0]->ID); } else { // No posts } For the redirect part … Read more
You will need to do a JOIN on the users table in your old database, and also select the display name. One key thing to note here, is that I aliased dbold_posts as P, and dbold_users as U – when dealing with multiple table, it’s always best practice to specify which table you are referring … Read more
The Core function for checking whether a user is logged in is is_user_logged_in(). You should use that if at all possible. WordPress does not use sessions at all, by default, and never has so far as I can remember. When I try var_dump($_SESSION); I get an “Undefined variable” Notice exactly as I expected. I haven’t … Read more
I would set up an array with the variables you want in the url query string and then use http_build_query(). Like so: $args = array( ‘AT’ => ‘EN’, ‘AE’ => $current_user->user_email, ‘FN’ => $current_user->user_firstname, ‘LN’ => $current_user->user_lastname, ‘MK’ => 665080128, ‘PW’ => ‘miami’, ‘BU’ => ‘http://thinkmcat.com/’); ?> <a href=”https://thinkmcat.webex.com/thinkmcat/m.php?<?php echo http_build_query($args); ?>”>LINK</a>
Yes, you can edit this without anything breaking. There is nowhere in the dashboard to edit your username later so for many users who don’t know or don’t have access to the database this wont be possible for them, hence the warning when installing WordPress. For those comfortable working in MySQL, it will be under … Read more
Check the Advanced Custom Field Plugin. Very powerfull tool that let’s you add custom fields anywhere and use them in the way you wish.
You need to use the global variable for the user ID (if you actually need to use it) somewhat like this: global $user_ID; get_currentuserinfo(); The get_currentuserinfo() call will populate the global $user_ID variable which you can then use directly, as you have it in your args currently.

I’ve just done something like this and it’s fairly simple add_filter(‘wp_nav_menu_items’, ‘add_login_logout_link’, 10, 2); function add_login_logout_link($items, $args) { //check if user is logged in, and add user name to menu if (is_user_logged_in()){ $user = wp_get_current_user(); $items .= ‘<li>’ . $user->display_name . ‘</li>’; } //add login/logout link to menu $items .= ‘<li>’. wp_loginout(get_permalink(),false) .'</li>’; return $items; … Read more
