It took some time, but a WordPress update some time ago partially broke What The File. With WordPress changing the action where the admin bar is rendered, template part support for What The File was broken. With this feature being added April 11th, 2013, I’d say we had a good run.

We assume everyone knows these tricks but they don’t. And that’s okay, you probably use some tricks that I don’t know yet. That’s why I think it’s important we share these tricks with each other. Hopefully all our (development) lives will become a little more comfortable.
