Vagrant up errors on install on Mac OS X
Instead of MAMP I use Vagrant to set up my virtualhosts locally. That way you can emulate your webserver’s setup. To configure my Vagrant virtual machine I use PuPHPet. You need to have VirtualBox installed for this. After downloading the PuPHPet configuration manifest you need to start up the virtual box. You do this by executing this command:

Tabindex problems with Gravity forms in WordPress
Sometimes there are problems with the tabindex when you use the Gravity forms plugin in WordPress. You can fix this by adding this to your theme’s functions.php file
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
//############################################################################### // Fix Gravity Form Tabindex Conflicts //############################################################################### add_filter("gform_tabindex", "gform_tabindexer"); function gform_tabindexer() { $starting_index = 1000; // if you need a higher tabindex, update this number return GFCommon::$tab_index >= $starting_index ? GFCommon::$tab_index : $starting_index; } |
This will set the start index from gravity forms to a higher number.

How to make a custom protected page in WordPress
The default password form uses this message: “This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:”. You can use a custom text to display on a protected page by using a filter in WordPress. Add this code to your theme’s functions.php file:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
<?php function custom_password_form() { global $post; $label = 'protected-page-'.( empty( $post->ID ) ? rand() : $post->ID ); $o = '<form action="' . esc_url( site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=postpass', 'login_post' ) ) . '" method="post"> ' . __( "Enter the password to see the protected page:" ) . ' <label for="' . $label . '">' . __( "Password:" ) . ' </label><input name="post_password" id="' . $label . '" type="password" size="20" /><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="' . esc_attr__( "Submit" ) . '" /> </form> '; return $o; } add_filter( 'the_password_form', 'custom_password_form' ); ?> |

Problem was that, after I closed Sublime text and reopened it, the 2000 files reopened automatically, which meant my Sublime Text kept crashing. You…
