How do I assign a custom post to all terms in a custom taxonomy?
I'm building a database of cities as a part of a "location" taxonomy. In order for the terms to render, as far as I've found, they need to have some type of content associated with them. My work-around is to create a "placeholder" post, assign it to the respective terms, then move it to the trash.
So, first, if you have any suggestions for a _better_ way to get the terms to display _without_ yet having content associated with them, please let me know!
Otherwise, what's the best way to bulk assign terms to a custom post? | With functions like get_terms, there is an argument hide_empty that will allow terms without associated posts to be shown. Set hide_empty to 0 and you will see your terms. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

wp_set_object_terms timing out?
I have a list of 350 or so terms that I am trying to set to a post. Here's my code:
add_action('init', 'add_cities_to_story');
function add_cities_to_story() {
$cities_list = get_term_children('115', 'location'); // MA
wp_set_object_terms('632', $cities_list, 'location');
}
The trouble is that it appears to timeout about 3/4 of the way through the list.
Also, any ideas how to bulk _remove_ the tags from a post? :) | Dealing with terms is known to be very heavy operation.
The common tweak recommended is to use `wp_defer_term_counting()` to temporarily disable updating of terms count (which is stored persistently in database and so must be updated when you change terms). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Suspicious URLs being loaded after hack and restore
I had a site that was hacked (had Arab words on the index.php), and all files deleted, but database still there.
I used Fantastico to install a clean release of WP 3.1, and I still some something suspicious. In lower right side of Firefox it says "Read www.clickcoupon.me". With FireBug and PageSpeed, I can see it's opening: < and < which both look extremely suspicious. These are not part of the standard WordPress are they?
The site is < As of the time I'm posting this, it is a default install from Fantastico. Unless they hacked my hosting company as well, I don't see how these files could be involved. | Found it! It was happening in FireFox but not Chrome. I looked at all my FireFox Extensions, and found "Browser Enhancements 1.0" and "Browser Coupons 1.0" <

add_action for admin_init hook with a parameter
In my theme, i want to create a generic way of inserting a meta box to a post, page, portfolio or other custom item.
For now, this action is like :
add_action('admin_init', 'add_portfolio_settings');
Which works fine, but has a problem. It currently works only for creating an add_meta_box for a portfolio item. However, what if i wanted to add the same to a post or page ?
So, i would like to have add_action passing an argument to my add_portfolio_settings function, ideally an array, that specifies what the types that a new meta box should register under.
I've read stuff and tried different things about do_action, but i cannot get it to work. Any ideas ? | What you want is quite possible, but not exactly mainstream technique. Take a look at my Implementing advanced add_* function wrappers question.
However your real issue here is not being unable to pass arguments. It is lack of context.
1. The simplest way to track context is inside your hooked function (check what page you are at, do something accordingly).
2. Slightly more complex is adding your own dynamic hook (Post Status Transirions are great example).
3. Even more complex is contextual hook. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Now i want user access in all network sites with one registration. I mean user who register in site2.example.com should able to access all my network sites and create new posts. They all should be able to access even if i add a new site in my network.

Import old SQL dump into new Wordpress version
I'm trying to restore a Wordpress blog from a backup. Unfortunately, all I have is an SQL dump of the database as generated by phpMyAdmin. The dump was created when the blog was running Wordpress 2.9/2.9.1/2.9.2. The new blog is a brand-new installation of Wordpress 3.2.1.
How can I import the contents of the SQL dump into the new Wordpress installation?
I tried importing the dump into the database using phpMyAdmin _before_ installing Wordpress, but then install.php tells me that Wordpress seems to be already installed and that I should delete the database tables. | If it is an older version of WP, you need to find out what version of WP generated the database, as WP upgrades the DB most times the files are upgraded and you should incrementally upgrade to also upgrade the database.
Look in the wp_options table for option 711 and see what the version is; option name will be site_transient_update_core and the value will be the download link, i.e. < which means the version is 3.2.1
Find the version and leave a comment below.
Depending on the age of the version, you need to do manual, incremental upgrades to get to at least 3.0 where you can use auto-update.
If you import/move a DB, no need to run install.php. Just upload all WP files and folders. See Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Need 'logo page' before wordpress page!
I made this website for my client using WordPress. It's all great but now he's asked me that when someone loads the website, before all the WP goodness, there's a page showing just the logo, then you click the logo and go to the main page.
I'm thinking I could either do this by changing WP's index to some other name and have the actual index file be the logo thing etc; or have a pop-up* on the actual WP index that darkens the rest of the page, then you click the logo and it's gone, allowing you to navigate the page normally. It would have to appear only the first time the user loads the page and not when you 'come back' to it from another page.

E.g. ‘Plugin Name’ (changed to) ‘Plugin Name – Modified’ | Basically it sends a list of your plugins to the wordpress.org API server, which does some black magic to try to figure out if any of the plugins you have match the ones it has, then it returns version info back for them.
The API uses a rather elaborate mechanism to match plugins against plugins it knows about, but these are the main things checked for: Plugin URI, Plugin Name, and Plugin slug (the directory name the plugin is in)
Change any of those and you reduce the chances of it finding a match, but it might still get it if two of them match, for example.
Info in the readme.txt is _not_ used for this. The header of the plugin's PHP file itself is used. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Quick login from mobile phone
I have a site which is essentially a blog carrying alerts to Doctors. The idea is that the Doctors will get an SMS alerting them to the fact that a new alert has been posted and a link to the alert.

I was wondering if there was any way of authenticating a user by mobile phone number, or any easy way for a mobile phone user to log in to a Wordpress site? | This is complex and considering the sensitive nature of the application and the usage "doctor alerts" I would really consider not using a blog platform.

for ($i = 0; $i < count($cate_name); $i++ ) {

Trouble with SQL SELECT inside switch_to_blog()

print_r($product); exit;

Create pretty permalink for a post knowing the permalink structure
How can I generate a pretty permalink correctly for a post knowing the permalink structure?
My posts where processed with the FeedWordPress plugin with the "Link" setting set to "Permalinks point to: The copy on the original website".
So for all the posts in the admin area when editing a post the "Permalink" field under the post title shows an original, external site's URL, which is stored in the "syndication_permalink" meta data.
What I would like to do is to generate a pretty permalink for all such posts that would point to a local host (i.e. the post will have a permalink of type " rather than have an external link to a source), so that I can update the permalinks in DB.
I can get the permalink structure using `get_option('permalink_structure')`. Is there a WP function that I can use to get a pretty permalink generated correctly for a post by its ID?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks, Dasha | GUID and permalink are two completely independent things. GUIDs are usually based on permalinks, but they don't have to be. Permalinks are not based on GUIDs in any way in modern WP (it had been changed long ago).
If you permalinks are not being generated correctly then that plugin (or some other) is breaking something in a bad way, it is unrelated to what your GUIDs contain. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Scheduled event does not run at midnight
I have an event scheduled to fetch feeds from different sources at midnight. I believe for some reason it is not being triggered. I use Core Control plugin for testing. When I 'Run Now' through it, it works fine. What could be possible reason? Any hint that could facilitate me to get to the cause?
There is no argument to the handler and it is a reoccurring once daily task. | WP-Cron is not a guaranteed time task scheduler. The trigger for WP-Cron is somebody visiting the site itself, so if nobody visits the site at midnight, then the job doesn't run until somebody does visit the site later.
Similarly, if you use a whole page caching mechanism like WP-Super-Cache, then anonymous users will not really be "visiting" the site since they're getting cached pages. So that can impact WP-Cron's ability to run on time as well.
If you need to run timed events precisely, then you need to use a real cron mechanism instead. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Do you know a video plugin that allows embedding in the home.php file?
I've been looking for a video plugin in the plugin depository but couldn't find one that I'm looking for.
Basically, I want visitors to be able to play the video in the home page but the issue here is that the home page is displaying post excerpts. So if I would just post the video as normal, it would be cut in the home page.

Different Template based on HTTP Referer
He Guys,
i've been looking for a way to show a different Page-Template based on HTTP Referer or maybe the User Agent or what ever.
I'm planning an Image-Gallery which should be shown in a Fancybox. My Idea is to use a template which contains only the `loop` and all the stuff i need to build the gallery correctly (without any Header and Footer files) and load it in my Fancybox.
But what about the Search Engines und Users with disabled JavaScript. They don't see anything or only a page without the Pagecontext like Navi etc. How can i prevent this issue?
Any ideas | Fancybox has built in fallback, it displays images without JavaScript.
I don't see why you would want to remove the header ( or footer) since it usually contains some good info like your doctype, css, meta, title, etc.

Why does WordPress require a ftp server to be running on the webserver to transfer plugins?

width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>"
height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" />

The CSS file is here: < | in your theme's functions.php, look for this:

Custom fields for custom post types
I have a custom post type for portfolio. To create one, you need to create a page with a particular template that i'm making, named page-portfolio.
Now, a portfolio post has custom fields as well. But, how can i make a custom field that is displayed in the post only if i select the 'portfolio' template ? That is, a custom field tied to the usage of the portfolio template ? | This is confusing you're mixing up the terminology of WordPress. A custom post type acts like a _post_ and not a _page_. If you have a custom post type called "portfolio" and use the proper template hierarchy, you don't have to do anything special. But you will need to name it `single-portfolio.php` and not `page-portfolio.php`.
<
<
If on the other hand, if you simply want to use "page" templates ( I think that is what you mean) you will need to write a conditional to display the post meta for only the `page-portfolio.php`.
The logic is along the lines of:
if (is_page_template('page-portfolio.php'))
the_meta();
Your default page most likely already has `the_meta();` though so you will most likely want to use `get_post_meta` or `get_post_custom` so you can have fields specific to your "portfolio".
ps. It's much easier to just use a custom post type (not a page template) for this sort of thing .

Using add_theme_support inside a plugin
I've created a custom post type as a plugin and released it into the repository. One of the core features involves using a featured image.

How do I add e-mail subscription functionality

New User Sessions in Wordpress?

For instance, if you want to password protect a specific set of pages, you could make one page require authentication, using a username and password like you mention. Once the user has accessed this page, validated by the database of users separate from wp_users, you can use ajax to keep this "session" (or appearance therefore) alive.

I got n number of urls as output. But i want to print serial numbers in each url like 1,2,3 and so on. I don't want to use unordered list. Because i want to style my serial numbers too. So is there any way to print serial numbers? | How about:
echo '<ul>';
$sn_count = 1;
foreach($urls as $url){
echo '<li><span class="serial-number">'.$sn_count.'</span> '.$url .'</li>';
$sn_count++;
}
echo '</ul>';
You can then style your serial numbers with the `serial-number` class. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do I add a timezone offset to this query?
Problem is that $today is pulling GMT from the database; I need to offset GMT by -6 hours; Have been unable to find a query with an offset like that.
<?php
$paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$today = date('Y-m-d');
query_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'performance',
'posts_per_page' => 4,
'caller_get_posts' => 4,
'paged' => $paged,
'meta_key' => 'order-date',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'order-date',
'meta-value' => $value,
'value' => $today,
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'CHAR'
)
)
));
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?> | Is WP set to that -6 offset you need? In that case try `date_i18n()` to generate your date instead of `date()`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

wp_set_post_terms example?
My client has a post type that uses a lot taxonomies. I plan to put this script in a post meta box and hide the existing taxonomies.
**Do you know of a greatwp_set_post_terms example?**
I want to make this:
!enter image description here
Look like this: !enter image description here
Related functions? wp_update_term | Name your fields like `car_specs[taxonomy_name]`, then within "save_post" just do:
foreach($_POST['car_specs'] as $tax => $term)
if(taxonomy_exists($tax)) // && term_exists($term, $tax)
wp_set_post_terms($post_id, $term, $tax);
Personally I wouldn't use WordPress for a auto classifieds type of website. There are PHP frameworks out there better suited for building such sites | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Show limited menu to admin
I am using the latest wordpress 3.2.1. I would like to let create a new admin to do ONLY this: 1) Manage order to change the order status to (e.g. approve..reject). 2) Able to view user only without the ability to Edit or Delete. 3) Accept email notification on new registered user and new order.
This would meant that when this new admin login, he is able to view only these 3 menu and All other menu will be invisible. Could anyone advice? I have tried many like the Adminimize, Admin Menu Editor, hide-admin-panels.. But all don works as it is a role based instead of user based.
Should i create a new `admin` for these features above? or should i create an `editor` instead ? Then change the menu for editor.. I need your advice. thanks | Try this plugin: < | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Share DB tables between two blogs on the same WP Multisite installation
Is it possible for two separate blogs running on the same multisite installation to share tables in the database?
By default, Wordpress adds the blog ID to the table prefix for all of the associated tables such that blog #1's posts are stored in the `wp_1_posts` table, blog #2's posts in the `wp_2_posts` table etc..
However, for my peculiar development workflow I would like to use blog #1 for public use and blog #2 for development while sharing database tables between them such that any changes made to either blog are reflected on both immediately (i.e. **both** blog #1 and blog #2's posts are stored in `wp_1_posts`, their users in `wp_1_users`, and so forth).
Any ideas? | You can switch back and forth between blogs on a multisite with `switch_to_blog` and `restore_current_blog`.
That should allow you to get anything you'd like and make queries as if you were actually on the other blog.

How to receive notification of deprecated API elements and functions?
There is some way to get notifications when deprecated API elements are used in WordPress. How is it done? Put WordPress in debug mode (which also shows all other types of errors) or is there another method that shows only API related errors? | Just install the Log Deprecated Notices plugin. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
