This was just one extra line: RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory/ RewriteRule […]
// Shortcode for retrieving Session params if ( ! shortcode_exists(‘get_cookie’) ) { function readycat_get_cookie( $atts ) { // check for shortcode param if ( empty( $atts[‘key’] ) ) return ‘Please specify a key=whatever_value in the shortcode.’; $default = !empty( $atts[‘default’] ) ? $atts[‘default’] : ”; if ( ! empty( $_GET[ $atts[‘key’] ] ) ) { […]
Video backgrounds are pretty straightforward. Add a <video> element somewhere near the beginning or end of the body element: <video id=”bgvid” poster=”bgvid.jpg” autoplay muted loop><source src=”bgvid.mp4″ type=”video/mp4″></video> The autoplay, muted, and loop attributes are appropriate for a background, and the poster attribute is a still from the first frame of the video, something to display […]
I’m sure there are tons of plugins for adding Google Analytics to your WordPress site, and a lot of themes have an area for pasting scripts. But if you ever want to just add the code without any of that, the simplest way is in your functions.php: add_filter( ‘wp_print_footer_scripts’, function(){ ?> <script> […]
Below are some optimized SVGs I’ve made using the official assets provided by the companies. Feel free to grab the code for your own projects. Alternatively, checkout the plugin.

add_filter(‘wp_mail_from’, function($email){ return str_replace(‘wordpress@’, ‘webmaster@’, $email ); }); add_filter(‘wp_mail_from_name’, function($name){ return $name === ‘WordPress’ ? get_bloginfo(‘name’) : $name; }); Here’s a version that uses the admin email set in in wordpress settings. This isn’t a great idea if the admin email isn’t a domain you own and can add the sending IP to the domain’s […]

This is a pretty goofy function, but a client once deleted the default user roles using some plugin, and I just threw this into functions.php to re-create them. It’s hooked onto admin_init, so it runs when you load any back-end page. I set a transient that keeps the function from running more than once (and […]
