  Removed Protected from Page Title – WordPress Password Protected Pages

  We are working with creating protected page reports for clients with a simple password protection, using the standard WordPress Password Protected functionality. Unfortunately, it adds “protected” to the page heading.

  WordPress Direct File Access on Secure Linux Installations

  I had a problem with the security on my Linux server set so nobody owned the Apache process but I owned the files on the server.

  Twitter/Facebook Style “Time Ago” Dates in WordPress

  Employee Review/Appraisal Sample Phrases for Retail Stores
