Q&A
Data sanitization: Best Practices with code examples
I am trying to understand data sanitization (not data validation) to help me write secure themes for WordPress. I have searched the Internet trying to find a comprehnsive guide for theme developers detailing best practices. There were couple of resources I came across including the codex page titled Data Validation, though none were useful to me. The codex page lists available sanitization functions, their usage and what they do, but fails to explain why you would use one over the other or in what situation would you use a particular sanitization function. The purpose of this post is to request everyone to contribute examples of bad/unsanitized code and how it should be re-written for proper sanitization. This could be general code to sanitize post title or post thumnails src or more elaborate codes that handle sanitization of $_POST data for Ajax requests.

How to use wpLink without editor?

Is it heavyweight plugins or lots of plugins that make a site slow?
I’ve often heard that having a lot of plugins will slow down a WordPress site. This makes sense of course, as the more code that executes, the longer it will take.
Multisite stuck at 1MB for max file size
I have a WordPress Multisite install on our FreeBSD development server. It seems to be stuck at 1MB.
How can I modify the WordPress default widget output?
I don’t want to style the default widget with only CSS. I want to display the default ‘Categories’ widget content with my own HTML structure.
