5 Useful WordPress Functions You Didn’t Know Existed

By Santiago on June 4, 2009

Deep within the source code of WordPress lies an endless list of useful functions just waiting for you to use them in your theme or plugin. The problem is, most people don’t know they exist, probably because the Codex is ridiculously underdeveloped, and most people hate looking through source code. Luckily for you, reading the WordPress source code is a hobby of Nathan Rice.

Nathan, compiled a list of some of incredibly and useful funtions:

1. wp_mail()

2. wp_loginout()

3. clean_url()

4. wpautop()

5. wp_rss() / get_rss()

Don forget visit the original article to read the detailed functions code.

    First of all, I’m glad you liked my article enough to post about it on your blog. That’s very kind. But you pretty much copied and pasted the entire article from my site to yours. And it seems like you are doing this with other articles as well.

    Unfortunately, that’s not something I can allow to happen with my content. I have to formally request that you either 1) take it down entirely or 2) write a short summary of my article, and send your readers to the original.

    I would have sent this via email, but you have absolutely no contact information on your site, that I could find. When you either change or remove the article, feel free to delete this comment, as I’m sure it’s not good PR to have takedown notices in your comments section.
