We had a list of rampages sites in a Google Spreadsheet and wanted to know when they were created. I started to look that up but only managed to do it twice before I gave up and went in search of another way. In this case it took two little bits of code. This first […]

Add Custom Field to WordPress API & Filter
I found myself in a strange situation where I needed to know if a page had a child. Natively the WP API lets you know if a page has a parent but not the reverse. First I had to write a function that writes some data to a custom field if a page has a […]
