WordPress Snippets at WPcustoms

Only show current author posts and content in wp-admin

By default, WordPress allows Authors to see the titles of other users posts, unpublished drafts, and all media, even though they cannot be edited. This long snippet fixes this situation and only shows content of the currently logged in author.
