User Role Editor WordPress plugin

User Role Editor

User Role Editor

User Role Editor WordPress plugin allows you to change standard WordPress user roles capabilities with easiness of a few mouse clicks. Just turn on check boxes of capabilities you wish to add to the selected role and click “Update” button to save your changes. That’s done. In case you made some unneccessary change you always have the “Reset” button to restore roles state from the automatically made backup copy. Add and tune your own custom roles whiche you can assign to the users then. Delete self-made roles. Change defaul user role.
Why it could be necessary? Let’s suppose you wish that your multi-authored blog contributors upload their own graphics to use in their posts. WordPress “contributor” role has no such capability by default. In such situation you have needed to change user role capabilities manually using SQL client as I described at “How to change wordpress user role capabilities” post, if you have enough knowledge in that field. But what to do if you have not?

Silence is golden guard WordPress plugin prevents your blog directories from listing if visitor types just directory name as the URL,

Did you see small 30 bytes only index.php files in the folders of WordPress installation? If you don’t know for what reason those files included into WordPress package please read this post “Silence is Golden”.
This plugin can scan your WordPress blog installation subdirectories for the presence of such dummy index.php files and create it if index.php file doesn’t exist in the directory. As the second line of defence against directory listing plugin can add special “-Indexes” option into Apache Web Server .htaccess file placed at the WordPress root directory.
