How to fix the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” message in WordPress

I’ll tell you my story, but you may be in the same situation having done something completely different, so keep reading…

One day, some time ago, I was very happily installing the WP-Security-Scan WordPress plugin, and I got an analysis result saying that I should change the default WordPress database table prefix in order to make harder the potential SQL Injection attacks…

Firefox Add-on: List Open URLs

Let’s say you’re searching for videos (or webpages if you wish) of some topic. And you navigate through lots and lots of them… Opening new tabs and even jumping between links without leaving the previous URL open somewhere else (this commonly happens when you click any “Related Video” on YouTube, since it automatically opens on the same tab)…

It would be really tedious to go through each of your tabs rescuing all the interesting URLs to save them…

Also, if you could save them as bookmarks (assuming you don’t care about the browsing history), it’s not really simple to just get the URLs to copy them or to send them to somebody else…

For this (and for any other case you could find), I developed the “List Open URLs” Firefox Add-on…

qTranslate support for the Google (XML) Sitemaps Generator WordPress Plugin

wordpress-logo-notext-rgb[1]

Some time ago, Qian Qin, the author of qTranslate, has published what should be modified on the Google (XML) Sitemaps Generator WordPress Plugin to make it support qTranslate.

However, this has never reached any of the releases of this plugin. (Qian Qin says he sent an e-mail to the author and I’ve done it myself, with no response).

So, I’m going to publish what should be modified on the plugin (for the ones who may want to do them themselves) and then, leave the link to download the modified version I prepared. I’ll be updating it for each new release.

Update: I’ve made some code corrections myself to include the different translations of the home page and not to include the entries not written in the default language (just include the written languages). The download and the code snippets have been updated to reflect the changes. If you wish more details, please go to the post of the update.

Update (2009-09-30): I’ve updated the naming of the plugin at the WordPress repository and the support for blogs without qTranslate installed. For releases before the 3.1.6.3, you may get notified for the original version updates (and not for this version supporting qTranslate), so I really recommend updating. If you wish more details, please go to the post of the update.

How to remove the “Visual” tab from the WordPress post/page editor

There are lots of people (like me) who just use the HTML mode of the WordPress Editor… Sometimes, you cannot just disable the WYSIWYG editor (in my case, I cannot do it because I use the qTranslate plugin to enable the creation of posts in different languages)… For this people, having the Visual editor tab, might be a very big problem…

Lets say you’re writing a post in the HTML tab…
