A basic default category plugin. 
The main purpose of this plugin is to provide different default categories on a per user basis.
I was looking for a plugin to set a different default category for my flickr posts (through XMLRPC API). 
And there was no built-in function to set a default category to a particular user.
This plugin is very simple :
<ul>
<li>any author can set it’s own default category (user can <code>edit_posts</code>)</li>
<li>any admin can modify an author default category (user can <code>edit_user</code>)</li>
<li>anywhere in WordPress a user get it’s default category where applicable : posts, API posts, … except in the writing settings page</li>
</ul>

Author Default Category

Any author (user can edit posts) can set its own default category on his profil page.

Did you ever feel like your website or blog login page is ridiculously fragile and reachable, and could be easily broken in by an intruder?
Personally I hate to think of hundreds of people playing with my door lock hundreds of times a day. It’s the same with my blog login page.
On WordPress, there are two main potential vectors of bruteforce intrusion: 
* http://my-site.com/wp-login.php, which is the login page 
* http://my-site.com/xmlrpc.php, which is an API gateway for interacting with third party applications.
This plugin adds one security layer in front of your login page, and by the way you can also disable XML-RPC with a simple checkbox if you don’t need it (XML-RPC is a WIDELY used vector of attacks).
The idea is simple: you choose a pair of words, and when you want to access your login page, you just have to provide them in the URL like this: http://my-site.com/wp-login.php?word1=word2. That’s all! 
If you try to access your login page without this pair of words, you get a configurable error message, where you can insult the attacker as much as you want 😉

WP Login Door

This plugin is the easiest way to hide your login page and thus avoid brute force attacks



Simple and useful

Adds a secret URL key to access the login page and lets you disable XML-RPC, protecting against bruteforce attacks.
