Show Theme in Footer

This plugin displays the active theme name, version and parent theme name in the Admin Footer on the right. Parent theme is only shown when a child theme is active. We created this plugin because we manage a large number of blogs with different themes. When updating themes we always have to go and look which theme is active and which is the parent theme to prevent problems with the site layout. We always like to be sure before updating the active theme, but others non active theme should always be up to date. Info is only shown to logged in Administrators and Editors. Easy. Handy. And it saves us a lot of time. We think it will save a lot of time of everybody that manages blogs with different themes. Show Theme in Footer in your Language! This first release is avaliable in English and Spanish. In the languages folder we have included the necessary files to translate this plugin. If you would like the plugin in your language and you’re good at translating, please drop us a line at Contact us. Further Reading You can access the description of the plugin in Spanish at: Show Theme in Footer. Contact For further information please send us an email. Translating WordPress Plugins The steps involved in translating a plugin are: Run a tool over the code to produce a POT file (Portable Object Template), simply a list of all localizable text. Our plugins allready havae this POT file in the /languages/ folder. Use a plain text editor or a special localization tool to generate a translation for each piece of text. This produces a PO file (Portable Object). The only difference between a POT and PO file is that the PO file contains translations. Compile the PO file to produce a MO file (Machine Object), which can then be used in the theme or plugin. In order to translate a plugin you will need a special software tool like poEdit, which is a cross-platform graphical tool that is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. The naming of your PO and MO files is very important and must match the desired locale. The naming convention is: language_COUNTRY.po and plugins have an additional naming convention whereby the plugin name is added to the filename: pluginname-fr_FR.po That is, the plugin name name must be the language code followed by an underscore, followed by a code for the country (in uppercase). If the encoding of the file is not UTF-8 then the encoding must be specified. For example: en_US – US English en_UK – UK English es_ES – Spanish from Spain fr_FR – French from France zh_CN – Simplified Chinese A list of language codes can be found here, and country codes can be found here. A full list of encoding names can also be found at IANA.

Simply Show Hooks

Up until now the way theme and plugin developers find where to hook into with their add_action() and add_filter() functions is either to search through the WordPress code base, or find find a reference to the hook in the codex. What Simply Show Hooks does is give you a simpler way to see these hooks by displaying them in-line on the page that you are on. All that’s left to do then is copy the hook you need, and paste it in to your add_action and add_filter functions like this: add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_enqueue_scripts_action’ ); add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘my_the_title_filter’ ); I made this plugin so I could find WordPress hooks quicker and I use it all the time, so I thought I’d share it and see if it could help others. Enjoy! Please note that in odd cases, due to the nature of actions and filters, the plugin may display a hook in place that disrupts the display of your site – in which case we always display the ‘Hide Hooks’ button so you can switch it back off. This won’t disrupt the look of you site to anyone but you so don’t worry.
