Hiding the admin bar

The admin bar in WP 3.1 is really cool, but what if you don’t want it? Individuals can remove it on their Profile pages, but there’s no admin option to remove it globally – unless you count the show_admin_bar filter. Here’s how to use that filter, for instance in your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', 'orgten_hide_admin_bar' );

function orgten_hide_admin_bar($showhide) {
$show_admin_bar = false;
return false;
}

From a trip to Long Island a couple of years ago – can’t believe it’s been that long!

1894 Restaurant & Tavern

1894 Restaurant & Tavern

Kensington isn’t exactly packed with great dining spots, but we’ve had a couple of nice early dinners at 1894. The highlights there are the patio, decent beer selection, and friendly service.

W3 Total Cache CDN broken?

As I’m sure you know, I like W3 Total Cache – it’s a fairly painless way to implement a variety of methods to speed up a site and reduce server resource usage. I especially like being able to offload media library and other files to a content delivery network like Amazon S3. Earlier today I noticed that for a particular page only some of the images were pointing at their S3-mirrored versions. Apparently I’m not the only one having this problem. In my case at least, the fix was easy: clear out the unsuccessful file transfers queue and refresh the cache.
