Customize your WordPress website even more to your needs via simple admin settings instead of code modifications.
Setting up new websites from time to time I realized, that I keep using similar sets of modifications over and over again. This plugin gives you a wide range of modifications at hand without any core or theme code changes – making them persistent across updates or switching to another theme.
th23 Specials core features include (all available as options in admin dashboard):
<ul>
<li>Mail sending via SMTP server instead of default PHP mail function – and with custom subject prefix</li>
<li>Revision and edit restrictions for posts and pages</li>
<li>Highlighting in titles of posts and pages – for custom styling via theme</li>
<li>Category selection via radio button, forcing single category assignment and option to restrict available categories – via Classic and Gutenberg / Block editor</li>
<li>Excerpts for pages</li>
<li>Sticky posts also sticky on archive pages</li>
<li>Disabling author links and archives</li>
<li>Enforcing usage of more tag / block / separator in posts and pages – preventing too long full text display on home and overview pages</li>
<li>Disable various headers – core version info, links, jQuery Migrate, inline CSS, emojis, oEmbed, legacy contact options</li>
</ul>
<h4>Usage</h4>
Simply install plugin and choose customizations required from the plugin settings page. Few options involve further actions to achieve required result – see below and FAQ section for more details.
For highlighting in post / page titles, put part to highlight in between <code>*matching stars*</code> in the editor. This part will be enclosed by <code></code> tags in the HTML on the frontend, allowing styling by theme via the CSS selector <code>.entry-title span</code>.
<h4>NOTE</h4>
Some options change important core functionality of WordPress – make sure you properly test your website before usage in production environment!
