Get Off My Lawn and Out of My Dashboard!


Speaker: Dougal Campbell
Track: Developers

My wife recently launched a new WordPress Multisite network for the Cherokee County School District in Georgia, which encompasses 40+ schools and serves more than 41,000 K-12 students. For some of the deeper coding, she enlisted my aid to help bend WordPress Multisite to her will.

From adding custom BootStrap CSS column classes to nav menu items, to automagically including a custom stylesheet for each school site, to denying content editor access to specific parts of the dashboard, these and several other code snippets will be covered.

Featured code snippet: the “redirect_naughty_children()” function. Get out of my Dashboard, you darn kids!
