Updating Permalink Structure from a Plugin
If you need to update/re-save the permalink structure from within your plugin, here’s how:
Add WYSIWYG controls to a particular custom field
Notes
As of WordPress 3.2, this implementation can be finicky – mostly an issue with inserting images into the right editor.
However, WordPress 3.3 (as of this note, is in beta 2) in getting an Editor API which will make adding 2nd (and 3rd…) editors to a single page much more reliable. If you don’t see me post an update by the end of the year – 3.3 has a tentative release date of sometime near the end of November 2011 – ping me here or on twitter @trepmal.

Adding More Classes to wp_list_pages()
Download
If you’re trying to style nested items in wp_list_pages() the task can be daunting. You’ll apply a style to an <li> then have to unapply those styles for the nested <li>s, and if you’re dropdowns get any deeper, you CSS can become overwhelming. It’s a little better if you don’t care about IE, because then you can use those fancy CSS selectors like ul > li, or ul li > li to target certain depths. But if you’re stuck fighting with IE, maybe this will help.
