Nothing new, nothing special… just the working code of a basic Ajax skeleton, as this has to be copied and pasted that often. This example shows an application similar to Google suggest, which searches related values, whenever a key is pressed.

Both of these functions can be used inside and outside of “the Loop” or loops.

Paging is required whenever there is an undefined amount of items (usually queried from a database) with a maximum amount of items to be displayed on one page. If there is more than one page, there must be a possibility to navigate through [...]

You may have noticed that understanding and extending roles and capabilities in WordPress can be a bit confusing as a start. On the one hand there are the default roles: (Super Admin), Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber, and they all have more or less rights (=capabilities) to do actions on a WordPress website, with descending [...]
