💡 WordPress Tip of the Day

Don’t rely on old admin HTML selectors in your plugins/themes.

WordPress 7.1 changed the markup of post list tables to improve accessibility. In particular, the primary th row header moved from the checkbox column to the title column. If your custom CSS or JavaScript targets selectors such as th.check-column, it may behave differently after the update.

👉 Community tip: Before updating WordPress, check your custom admin CSS/JS and test plugin compatibility, especially if your code depends on WordPress admin HTML structure.

WordPress 7.1 is now released, so this is a good time for developers to review the official 7.1 Field Guide and test their plugins/themes. https://bharat-kathiriya.github.io/

When was the last time you checked who has access to your website?

Many WordPress sites have old administrator accounts from developers, agencies, or former team members that are no longer needed.

How to do it:

Go to Users → All Users.

Review every Administrator account.

Remove users who no longer need access.

Change their role to Editor or Author if full admin access isn't required.

Why it matters:

• Reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
• Follows the principle of least privilege.
• Keeps your website easier to manage.
• Takes less than five minutes.

Pro Tip: Make it a monthly habit to review user accounts, especially after finishing a project with freelancers or agencies.

Question for the community: How often do you audit the users on your WordPress site?
