Th23 Specials Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Customize your WordPress website even more to your needs via simple admin settings instead of code modifications.
Setting up new websites from time to time I realized, that I keep using similar sets of modifications over and over again. This plugin gives you a wide range of modifications at hand without any core or theme code changes – making them persistent across updates or switching to another theme.
th23 Specials core features include (all available as options in admin dashboard):
- Mail sending via SMTP server instead of default PHP mail function – and with custom subject prefix
- Revision and edit restrictions for posts and pages
- Highlighting in titles of posts and pages – for custom styling via theme
- Category selection via radio button, forcing single category assignment and option to restrict available categories – via Classic and Gutenberg / Block editor
- Excerpts for pages
- Sticky posts also sticky on archive pages
- Disabling author links and archives
- Enforcing usage of more tag / block / separator in posts and pages – preventing too long full text display on home and overview pages
- Disable various headers – core version info, links, jQuery Migrate, inline CSS, emojis, oEmbed, legacy contact options
Usage
Simply install plugin and choose customizations required from the plugin settings page. Few options involve further actions to achieve required result – see below and FAQ section for more details.
For highlighting in post / page titles, put part to highlight in between *matching stars* in the editor. This part will be enclosed by <span></span> tags in the HTML on the frontend, allowing styling by theme via the CSS selector .entry-title span.
NOTE
Some options change important core functionality of WordPress – make sure you properly test your website before usage in production environment!
