when developing for WordPress sometimes you need to code a bit or change some features in WordPress. Hacking WordPress means using it not as a regular user with the obvious features, but to code PHP or change CSS when needed.
here are some cool and very helpful hacks:
Use pagination instead of “Next” and “Previous” Page Links
replace the next and previous links at the bottom of the loop with real php pagination.

Remove <P> for paragraph from content, excerpt or comments
use remove_filter when the loop arrives to one of these parts:
add this to your theme file: functions.php
remove_filter (‘comment_text’, ‘wpautop’);
remove_filter (‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’);
remove_filter (‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’);
Use Custom page as home
Create a new page, go to setting -> reading ->
and for “Front page displays” choose “A static page” and choose a page for your home.

Create Single Post Template
unlike for pages, posts doesn’t have the ability to have their own template if not using single-ID or single-SLUG.
we do have a plugin for that – Single Post Template
