I had no knowledge of Kyle writing a similar article. This post was completely independent of that website and came from my own knowledge.

Please get your facts straight before you accuse.

I wonder if Kyle Eslick at wphacks.com cares that you totally ripped his post from back in 2007.

Which is where, like in which file do you insert the code? Most of us just activate the plugins because we don’t know where this code goes. Is it possible to provide a link where you have explained where the code goes?

Advanced PHP, I agree. All we do with plugins is install and activate. We don’t know what gets written and where it’s written. I do know however of some plugins where you get to write it yourself like in the case of the wp-contactform plugin where we need to write in the page something like ‘% % wpcontactform % %’ or in the template, ”.

Anyway, this post gave me reason to dive under my blog’s hood and check out what I can do to make it plugin-proof.

I honestly started by experimenting with websites and blogs. Changing things to see what there effect would be on the design and functionality.

Set up a blog and just begin to play with various settings, you’d be amazed at what you can do!

Brad,

Nice tip. I find I struggle with this, though. For me, this is advanced PHP already.

Because I use a WP blog at work, I think I should get much, much better at it. Aside from reading blogs like yours, do you have any suggestions for someone getting started? I’ve learned other bits and pieces of coding on my own in the past (Visual Basic, HTML, stuff like that). Where did you get your start?
