One thing I’ve been struggling with was to use jQuery UI elements in my plugins, for example jQuery UI Tabs. Even though the libraries are included with WordPress, I couldn’t get them to work. Thanks to Pippin’s Plugins I could figure it out – thanks, Pippin! My initial mistake was the way I created the … Read more
This is surprisingly easy thanks to a function called remove_menu_page(); To remove the Dashboard item for example, you can use the function like this: // remove Dashboard remove_menu_page(‘index.php’); The parameter is the filename of the item you’d like to hide.

You know I love P2. I always have, and I always will. It’s the perfect theme that turns my WordPress installation into a notebook site.
Many users – me included – have often wished for the addition of categories to P2, so that when you write a post, you can add it to the category from the front page, perhaps via a convenient drop down menu.
