Add Users Total To WordPress Dashboard
The WordPress Dashboard is the first thing you see when you login. The “Right Now” box has important information like the total number of posts tags, comments, etc. but one thing is missing: users. I usually don’t have a need to check the Users list, so when a number of SPAM accounts registered, I didn’t even realize it. It got me thinking about writing a script to display the total number of registered users right [...]

Hide WordPress Version From Dashboard Footer
Hiding your WordPress installation version is a good idea. Knowing what version you’re running, a malicious person could take advantage of the vulnerabilities identified within that version and potentially corrupt, delete, or even control your WordPress installation and all your web host files.
