WordPress Custom Query to get Most Commented Posts in the Past 7 Days
I'm trying to do a query on wpdb to get the posts commented on most in the past week... Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
$querystr = "SELECT comment_count, ID, post_title
FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->comments wcomments
WHERE wposts.ID = wcomments.comment_post_ID
AND wcomments.comment_date >= CURDATE() - 7
GROUP BY wposts.ID
ORDER BY comment_count DESC
LIMIT 0 , 10
";
$pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr);
Thanks in advance.
**EDIT** Query changed to something that _sort of_ works I'm still not getting the date range right... it is returning the posts that are most commented on of all time, and not only the posts that have been commented on in the past week. | This should do it:

AND wcomments.comment_approved='1'

Automatically wrap post image in div

Making $ globally accessible with jQuery.noConflict()
The Codex promotes this method of using `$` inside a plugin/theme JavaScript file:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// $() will work as an alias for jQuery() inside of this function
});
But if you do that you only have access to `$` inside ready(). I think functions should be broken into small modules which are called from ready(), not all lumped together inside ready(), so if I use the Codex's method then I have to pass $ to each function, which is annoying and crude. Writing out `jQuery` all the time instead of just using `$` is also annoying.
I can just do `$ = jQuery.noConflict();` at the start of my JavaScript file and then `$` is available everywhere, but I suspect that that might cause problems with other plugins/themes in some situations. My searches haven't turned up any thorough explanations or definitive answers. Does anyone have any thoughts? | You don't need `$ = jQuery.noConflict();`
Just wrap any functions outside document.ready() within:
(function($){
// use $ here safely

Hide Overflow on a Specific WordPress Template
I'm trying to hide the overflow in CSS for specific template pages but can't seem to get it to work - I know that template pages are prefixed with a class but this doesn't seem to help targeting.
I think I could use the is_page_template() function to hide the overflow with JS but this should be simpler with CSS.
So this works...
html {
overflow: hidden;
}
but this doesn't work...
html .page-template-showreel-php {
overflow: hidden;
}
Any ideas why? Surely this should be possible with CSS. | This:
html .page-template-showreel-php {
overflow: hidden;
}
...will target `body.page-template-showreel-php`. So, two questions:
1. Do you have the `<?php body_class(); ?>` template tag inside of the `<body>` HTML tag?
2. Is hiding overflow on the `<body>` tag _really_ what you're after, or do you need to target a descendant element?
**EDIT**
There is no semantic or programmatic reason that you can't re-use the `<?php body_class(); ?>` template tag inside the `<html>` tag also. So, you might consider:
`<html <?php body_class(); ?>>`
and then:
html.page-template-showreel-php {
overflow: hidden;
}

Where do you upload images on a wordpress site?

Building Forums with Custom Post Types
I'm trying to build some sort of a discussion boards by using custom post types and the built in comments.
The structure is as following: An archive page to list all the pages of the Forum type, so each page is a "forum" Each "forum" has a title , a small description and then some threaded comments as threads with replies
I think I'm at the right direction here, but I have a couple of question and maybe some one could assist me with them:
1. Is it possible to have user to be associated with specific pages? **Example:** I'd like user A, B, C to be able to view "Forum" (page) 1; user D, E, F -> "Forum" (page) 2; etc.
2. Is it possible to have users to be redirected on sign up to their profile page, but disable all other menus in the admin area for them?
3. Is it possible to allow some users to be able to moderate comments only but not to see the other options on the site?
Any help would be great. | Check out User Access Manager for point 1).
For stripping back the menus & controlling access, check out the User Role Editor. You can strip user capabilities down to the bare essentials, and a lot of the items in the menu will disappear for them. For example, removing all `*_themes` privileges will hide the Appearance item.
You may find you can't quite hide all the menus you want, so you can hook into `admin_menu` and conditionally use `remove_menu_page` and `remove_submenu_page` depending on `current_user_can( 'role_name_or_capability' )`.
For the redirect, check out `wp-login.php` \- there should be a decent hook or filter in there for you to use and change where the user gets redirected; either after logging in or registering. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Importing posts from XML into custom post type

* you need some way to reliably track items to prevent duplicates, my approach was to ~~save unique identifier from XML as post's GUID in WP~~ for some obscure reason WP wants GUID to be URL-like (not _valid_ URL, but _formatted_ like one) so it's more reliable to go with custom field for identifiers that are not URLs;
* `wp_insert_term()` checks for some user capabilities here and there. And in WP cron there is no user set up.

Is there a is_user_logged_in() function for Wordpress MU / Multisite (3.0+) where I can add in the network site ID like `is_user_logged_in(2)` where `2` would be the site_id?
### Update:
After a little digging I came up with the code below. Unfortunately it does not work.
//don't use this. does not work.
function mu_logged_in($blog_id){
switch_to_blog($blog_id);
$status = is_user_logged_in();
restore_current_blog();
return $status;
}
anu's answer and comments are good.
also, make sure you have the cookie domain set correctly in the wp-config.php file :) | Yes, and no!
The way users work in a multisite scenario is that there is a single pool of users, who are then associated with blogs.
So, logged in status is common across all the blogs, but you can use `is_blog_user($blog_id)` to determine whether the **current logged in user** is a member of that blog. An example:
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
if (is_blog_user(4)) echo "Current user is a member of blog 4";
}

WordPress Widget multiple use
I created this widget using a simple example on WordPress Codex:
<?php
function widget_container_latest_posts() {
global $wpdb;
global $post;
get_template_part( '/includes/containers/container-latest-posts' );
}
wp_register_sidebar_widget(
'widget_container_latest_posts_1',
'Container Latest Posts',
'widget_container_latest_posts',
array(
'description' => 'Container Latest Posts - Adds recent posts.'
)
);
?>
It works fine, but I want this widget to be used multiple times not only one time after I drag it on a sidebar widgets place, and so I can add it on all the other sidebars for example. Thank | You need to implement your Widget using the Widgets API, so that WordPress knows how to make multiple instances of the Widget.

// outputs the options form on admin

function update($new_instance, $old_instance) {

Alternative to query_posts for main loop?
> **Possible Duplicate:**
> When to use WP_query(), query_posts() and pre_get_posts
I just noticed today that the documentation for query_posts() mentions some "disadvantages" of using query_posts for altering the main Loop, notably: 'causes additional SQL queries'.
This seems to imply that there's another way / a better way. Obviously there's get_posts() and WP_Query for secondary loops, but I don't see them as addressing the "disadvantages" listed in the Codex documentation.
I can see that by waiting until you're in the template to run query_posts, WordPress has already run a query once and this is now a second query that clobbers the first one (the first one being basically ignored). This definitely DOES sound inefficient (though perhaps not a big deal, who knows?)
My question is: is there an alternative to query_posts that does NOT add "additional SQL queries" or is the Codex documentation simply deceiving? | When I added the drawbacks to the Codex, I was mainly thinking of using the 'request' filter as an alternative to query_posts().
That filter is only run for the main query, so that solves the problem with 'pre_get_posts', which fires for every query.
The downside is that you don't have access to query flags like is_single() etc.
Here's one way you could get access to them, without actually doing the SQL queries:
function alter_the_query( $request ) {
$dummy_query = new WP_Query(); // the query isn't run if we don't pass any query vars
$dummy_query->parse_query( $request );
// this is the actual manipulation; do whatever you need here
if ( $dummy_query->is_home() )
$request['category_name'] = 'news';
return $request;

You can load the latest from Google:

Alter required message using comment form api
I prefer not to use asterisk markers on required fields in the comment form.
So I'd like to remove or alter the 'required fields are marked (*)' message.
Being a good wordpress user, I'd like to do it with my functions.php. I can work out how to filter most areas of the form, but not this. I'm guessing it will involve modifying the 'comment-notes-before' field of the 'defaults' array, but I can't quite see how to do that. | What you need to use is `comment_form_defaults` filter that has large and nested `$defaults` array passed.

email << this will have something like <span class="required">*</span> in it
url
comment_notes_before << this will have something like Required fields are marked<span class="required">*</span> in it
So in your filter you need to change these fields in array you got passed and return whole array. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Why does the HTML editor not wrap my code in paragraph tags when I press enter
Normally when using a rich text editor, when you hit return (i.e. do a full paragraph return) Your text is wrapped i.e. `<p> my text </p>` however this does not happen in wordpress.
Is there any way to trigger this functionality? | This happens at the time the content is output the browser. At that point, the content is passed through several filters, one of which is called `wpautop`. This filter function is defined in `wp-includes/formatting.php`. In combination with the other default WordPress filters, this generally means that you can compose content in the HTML (non-wysiwyg) editor as if you were writing plain text, and it will format the final HTML output in a logical, intuitive manner.
On the other hand, you can also feel free to manually compose HTML tags in your output, and WP will preserve your tags.

SELECT field options disappear when saving widget
I'm having an interesting problem that I can't seem to solve.
While creating a widget, I have created a select field with options that can be chosen on the widget screen. It all works perfectly fine, except when I save the widget, all of the options in the select field vanish. They all come back, with my chosen option saved, as soon as I refresh.
The code for each of the select options looks like this:
`foreach ($posttypes as $option) { echo '<option id="' . $option->name . '"', $posttype == $option->name ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $option->name, '</option>'; } `
In this case, $posttypes is an array of post types.
When the select fields are rendered, they look like this:
`<select name="option-name" id="option-name"> <option value="option-value">Option Value</option> <option value="option-value">Option Value</option> <option value="option-value">Option Value</option> </select>`

how to get context information inside my funcion
What processing is done by wordpress when a page is accessed that loads all contextual information into $post and other variables? and is it possible to trigger this process manually (or simulate it) so function calls have this context?
The reason I'm asking is because I have written a small plugin that allows users to call wordpress functions via Ajax.
The plugin works great with context-less functions. It has a big limitation however: calling a function via ajax loses the context information (e.g. $post) that the called function would otherwise have, had it been placed from within a template.
However, the ajax call does send across the HTTP Referrer information. I can easily extract the referrer info, so I know e.g. on which page the user is on. The problem is I'm not sure how to use it further. Any tips/ideas would be greatly appreciated. | * you're requesting _index.php_ which I guess it's the homepage; if I call for example is_category() trough your ajax from the category page I'll get false because the function is being ran on the homepage. Use `$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]` instead (don't forget to sanitize it)
* you're hooking your handler on the `init` action, which I think runs before the post data is set up. Use a different one, like `wp` or `template_redirect` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Option to show/hide widget depending on is_home?

I'm thinking a checkbox interface appended to the widget control interface.
Has anyone done something like this and what level of complexity are we talking? | There are plugins that can do this like Widget Context or Widget Logic.
If you want your own solution then it's pretty easy:
* hook your function with the checkbox on `in_widget_form`
* hook your widget update function `widget_update_callback` (update the widget option)
* check if the option was checked using the `widget_display_callback` hook (return false if it is)

Editing Complex Pages in Visual Mode
This might be a stupid question, and maybe I've missed some best practices thing, but I've been having this problem with clients using sites on WordPress. Let's say we have a fairly complex page that requires some good amount of HTML code inside the page itself. We put it up and it looks great. Now, month later client wants to edit couple words there, goes in and edits them in Visual Mode, and of course all markup that we did is now screwed up, so stuff is all over the place.
What are the approaches we can use to handle cases like that? | One thing you could do is create page templates for complex pages and simply add the content through the editor, leave as little mark-up as possible in the editor.
Another thing that might help is using the editor style (activated with `add_editor_style()` in `functions.php`) and defined in `editor-style.css` so the client has a better sense of what's going to be displayed (if you mimic your theme pretty closely) right in the editor.
Add custom fields with descriptive names for information which needs to be displayed in a certain way, in a certain place, rather than lumping it in the main content. The simple fields plugin simplifies this a lot, permits repeatable fields and file uploads. It gives flexibility while avoiding letting your client shoot himself in the foot so easily.

How do I hardcode a WordPress shortcode into my theme?
I am using WooTheme's Canvas theme and would like to "hardcode" in the [post_comments] shortcode into my theme. [post_comments] displays a comment link with comment count (ie Comments 10) in my post. Right now I am inserting the [post_comments] shortcode into my theme's meta "Meta Manager"; however, this is not ideal for me as I have limited control over the placement of where the this shows up in my post. What type of function or such should I be looking for to do this within my .php files?
Thank you | Check out do_shortcode(): <
do_shortcode('[shortcode option1="value1" option2="value2"]');
So your example would be:
do_shortcode('[post_comments]');
What might be easier is to tap into the underlying comment functions:
<
<p>
This post currently has
<?php comments_number( 'no responses', 'one response', '% responses' ); ?>.
</p>
You can also use `get_comments_number` which returns the value rather than printing it to the screen.
This function however needs to be in the Loop for it to work, however I have a feeling it is. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to Get the title of a custom field?
I know how to get the value of a custom field, using code like `get_post_meta($post->ID, 'company', true);`. Is there a way to get the name of the custom field? | to get a post custom fields name you can use **get_post_custom**
eg:
$post_meta = get_post_custom($post->ID);
foreach ( $post_meta as $key => $value )
echo $key . " => " . $value . "<br />";
this will print a list of custom_field_name => custom_field_value | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Detect tag page and include an Image for that specific tag
I'm trying to figure out a way to include a div(which will contain a background image) for a specific tag. This block of code works but fails when a post has more than 1 tag. I'm using a page called tag.php which is the default template for all tags. I'll have quite a few tags so I don't want to create template files for them all, ie: tag-name.php
<?php if( has_tag('books') ) {
include 'tags/books.php';}
elseif ( has_tag('tables') ) {
include 'tags/tables.php';}
?>
It's always possible there is an easier way to do this. I essentially need a script that detects which tag is being viewed, as a page, then displays the correct image for it. So when the page for the tag "table" is loaded that tag will always use an image named "table.jpg"
Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a way I can modify the script above to do what I described? | Here are 2 solutions:
Using Tag titles
<?php
switch( single_tag_title( '', false ) ) {
case 'Books' :
include 'tags/books.php';
break;
case 'Tables' :
include 'tags/tables.php';
break;
default :
break;
}
?>
Using tag slugs:
<?php
if ( is_tag( 'books' ) ) {
include 'tags/books.php';
}
else if ( is_tag( 'tables' ) ) {
include 'tags/tables.php';
}
?> | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Insufficient permissions to save options
Hi I have built a settings page which from the menu leads to: <
The problem is that when I go to save the options and I am an EDITOR user I get this error: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
I am using User Role Editor plugin and edit_theme_options capability is enabled for the Editor user type.
What can I do to fix this? thanks | I am not sure this is the issue here, but if I remember right the current limitation of Settings API is that `manage_options` capability is required for everything to be saved properly.
Quick search shows it might get fixed in 3.2, see this trac ticket. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What do spammers gain by signing up as a user?
The majority of new user signups I receive on my Wordpress blog look dodgy, with `@someblog.com`, `@somearticle.com`, or `@gmail.com` addresses.
What do they gain by signing up as a new user? | Some are attempting to leave their links behind, they believe the quantity not quality approach will actual help increase SEO rankings.
The other reason would be affiliate marketing garbage links trying to make a penny. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

return get_the_tag_list with whitespace removed
I need to `get_the_tag_list` but want to remove whitespace **within** individual tags.
Thus, `firefox, internet explorer, opera` becomes `firefox, internetexplorer, opera`
All the filters I found removed whitespace from the HTML, not the content itself. | $tags = get_the_tags();
$tag_links = array();
foreach((array)$tags as $tag)
$tag_links[] = '<a href="'.get_tag_link($tag->term_id).'" rel="tag">'.str_replace(' ', '', $tag->name)).'</a>';
