As developers, we like to keep up with WordPress News.
Most likely our clients do not care or understand WordPress news. Here is how I hide unwanted widgets from the WordPress Admin dashboard by including this code snippet in the themes function.php file.
Comment functions you want to keep by adding //* to line beginning.
I like to keep Recent Drafts, Recent Comments and the Right Now widget.
Check out this video I shot and edited for Heat Baseball.
If you like it give it a thumbs-up.
On a government site I was recently working on, a feature was requested to their sites employment application, that users ONLY be able to select positions that are currently being advertised. For this, all current job postings go to an Employment Opportunities category.
Gravity Forms is used for the employment application on this site. Therefore, there are two ways you might want to populate a drop down field. The first way is pre-selecting a drop down option when the form is displayed. The second way is dynamically populating the options that are available in a select drop down field.

Does your snow photos have a grey tint or lack detail? If so, that is because built-in camera meters are calibrated to see the world as neutral gray.
When shooting photos in the snow, use The Sunny 16 Rule. This is a way to meter for correct exposure during daylight without using the camera’s meter.
To add custom functions to a WordPress theme could be as simple as adding them directly to the themes functions.php file. However, if you update that theme, those functions will be overwritten, losing the custom functionality that your site may depend on. One option is to setup a custom functions.php file.
Create a folder within your child theme named “lib”
Within the new “lib” folder, create a file named “my_functions.php”
Paste this code in your my_functions.php file
<?php
//* My Custom Functions
Save the file
Paste this code in your themes current functions.php file
Save the file
Lea Verou has created over at Github, an Easy Color Contrast Ratios.
As you type, the contrast ratio indicated will update. Hover over the circle to get more detailed information. When semi-transparent colors are involved as backgrounds, the contrast ratio will have an error margin, to account for the different colors they may be over.
