How can I get this request to use the Custom Post Type page template instead?
I read the answer for this post which says you can do something like this:
When viewing $wp_query everything seems to be working fine. That is, I'm getting 'car' post types that have the 'red' term assigned. However, the request uses the 'color' custom taxonomy template. (In my case this is taxonomy.php.)
How can I get this request to use the 'archive-car.php' custom post type template instead?
|
Switch the taxonomy.php just like you would the single.php to support specific post custom templates. This is untested code, so it may not work - but, first get the post type
$post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
So if $post_type contains post_type = 'car' then include archive-car.php like this:
if ( $post_type = 'car' )
get_template_part('archive-car');
elseif ( $post_type = 'boat' )
get_template_part('archive-boat');
elseif ( $post_type = 'bike' )
get_template_part('archive-bike');
else
get_template_part('regular-taxonomy');
An better alternative would be if you could establish a template redirect like in this answer, but I don't know if that's even possible. If possible, you'd redirect the taxonomy template based on the value of $post_type.

edit posts through front-end
It's possible to insert posts by users through the front-end by using plugins such as gravity forms or by using wp_insert_post. However, how would one handle the editing of those posts? This has to be in a safe/foolproof/secure way for users.
|
**WP User Frontend** and **Post From Site** plugins (among others) allow users to create and edit posts from the front-end.
I am sure you can find a lot more — try this.

wordpress sanitize array?
I have a custom post form that sends data to a page which uses wp_insert_post to create a post. I can easily sanitize most data, but I have some troubles with my tags, I retrieve in an array:
$tags = $_POST['tags'];
Before using these tags as tags_input, how can I successfully sanitize all names?
Thanks!
|
If anyone is interested, I solved it like this:
$tags = $_POST['tags'];
if (count($tags) > 5){
echo 'Niet meer dan 5 tags';
$stop = true;
}
if (is_array($tags)) {
foreach ($tags as &$tag) {
$tag = esc_attr($tag);
}
unset($tag );
} else {
$tags = esc_attr($tags);
}

Add title="" to A PHP Code
I am using a code to call WP thumbnails and want to add a title="" tag. I would like the title to call the_title... how do I do so? I want to assign the title tribute to the image, not the link.
My code:
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail( 'thmb-archive' ); } ?>
|
Use the arguments available for `the_post_thumbnail(`) function as written in the codex.
**Edit** : just did a test with this and it worked for me:
$post_title = the_title( '', '', false);//get the title
$attr = array('title' => $post_title);//set the parameter
the_post_thumbnail('full', $attr);//call the function

Has anyone used the wordpress plugin w3-total-cache on a Dreamhost VPS successfully?
I was encouraged by Dreamhost to go with FCGI, XCache and w3 total cache. But I'm not sure what the optimal settings are, especially re: the Object and Database cache. Any suggestions?
Also, I can't get this error message to go away: `Recently an error occurred while creating the CSS / JS minify cache` Nor can I get log files to show up...
|
> Recently an error occurred while creating the CSS / JS minify cache...
Frederick Townes, the developer of W3 Total Cache, himself said that the notifications "functionality really gives too many false positives right now and should be disabled." That was 4 months ago, and still holds true today.
I have this very same error showing up on some of my setups, but the rest are fine, and all this happens on the very same server.
So, I'm afraid, this IS a false positive.

How to force unlink on attached/inserted images?
When users insert an image into the content, WordPress automatically wraps the image in a hyperlink that, when clicked, creates an "attachment" page showing only the image inside the theme.
Can I insert a code in my theme that tells WP not to create this link?
|
When you insert an image it becomes an attachment, whether you link to that page or not. You can simply select 'none' in the link url field when the image is inserted, it's one of the options in the media panel.

Adding custom class names to anchor in wp_list_pages
I've the following navigation: (example)
<ul id="mainNav">
<li><a href="#" class="watishet">Wat is het</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="hoewerkthet">Hoe werkt het?</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="resultaten">Resultaten?</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="onconavigator">OncoNavigator?</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="ziekenhuizen">Ziekenhuizen?</a></li>
</ul>
Can I add custom classes to a anchor element inside `Wp_list_pages`? because the current `wp_list_page` doesn't use a class attribute inside a anchor element. I want to add a unique class to each anchor element. For final result, I want to make a tab based horizontal dropdown menu.
I looked for couple of WordPress dropdown menu plugins but there wasn't anything out there that fulfill my wishes.
|
Use the Wordpress Menu system, which allows you to set custom classes (Make sure you open up "Screen Options" and check the "CSS Classes" check box to see the settings)

bbPress plugin - How do I add a forum description?
This might be a total dummy question, but I have no idea where to enter the forum description with bbpress. I see it on plenty of other bbPress-powered forums, and the plugin is inserting `<div class="bbp-forum-description"></div>` into my table of entries, but when I create or edit a forum, I don't see a field to enter this information. Is this normal or is something strange going on with my bbPress forum?
|
Are you using the standalone, or the plugin?
I'm not sure if there is a difference honestly, I've never touched the standalone.
Anyway, I have the plugin going
From my admin panel I have the option of adding/editing forums/topics/replies
Clicking on Add New for forum brings up a standard WP post screen
The title is the name of the forum, the post body area is the description. Is that not what you get?

How is WP_Query parsed to determine which template to request?
I noticed that when I changed the WP_Query to ask for a certain category, the page served was `category.php`. So I'm guessing there's a block of code somewhere that decides which template to serve based on keys in the query. Where is it?
|
The template loader determines which template to load for a given view, there's a filter available to change this though, `template_include` as seen on the source page linked.

WordPress Comment posting problem
I am getting trouble with WordPress comment posting. As per my WP setting there is no approval needed to display the comments under blog after posting. Most of the comments posted display immediately. But some of them do not display and need aproval from the admin / Author.
|
You need to check all of the following options under `Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion`:
**Before a comment appears**
* Before a comment appears An administrator must always approve the comment
* Comment author must have a previously approved comment
**Comment Moderation**
* Hold a comment in the queue if it contains ___ or more links. (A common characteristic of comment spam is a large number of hyperlinks.)
* When a comment contains any of these words in its content, name, URL, e-mail, or IP, it will be held in the moderation queue. One word or IP per line. It will match inside words, so “press” will match “WordPress”.
Also: do you have any comment-moderation or spam-prevention Plugins active?

saving meta/custom field to tag
In my custom post type what I am trying to do is say I have select drop down option called party_ad. The value of the options are obtained via an RSS feed.
echo '<select name="ad_Tags" id="ad_Tags">';
foreach ($rs['items'] as $item)
{
echo '<option value="'.$item[title].'" '. selected( $adTags, $item[title]).'>'.$item[title].'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';
I can save these data with no problems - however, what I want to be able to save the selected option as a tag to the custom post. I thought about doing it front end, ie if an option is selected then it adds the value to the post tag box, ideally though, I'd like to really do this server side.
|
you can use wp_insert_term() to create the tag and then wp_set_object_terms() to set it as the custom post tag:
//get the tag
$tag = $_POST['ad_Tags'];
//create the tag
$term_id= wp_insert_term(
$tag, // the term
'post_tag', // the taxonomy
array('description'=> 'term description','slug' => 'term-slug')
);
//set the tag
wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $term_id, 'post_tag' );

Remove top admin bar
whenever admin or any other user logs in a top bar menu ads up. Now I made login for everybody, so I do not want this bar.
First I added `display:none` to `admin-bar.css`, but the main problem is that wordpress is still adding a white line on the top with:
html {
margin-top: 28px !important;
}
How to remove this as this is causing some design flaws.
|
<
Has an article about it.
But basically
/* Disable the Admin Bar. */
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
or also
//REMOVE ADMIN BAR
remove_action('init', 'wp_admin_bar_init');
I believe in your functions.php will disable it. Probably a better way than just hiding it thriough css
THe reason you still get the gap with the menu hidden is because WP adds this css as well
html { margin-top: 28px !important; }
* html body { margin-top: 28px !important; }
So a margin is added up top.... you could negate that css in yours, but just disabling the bar is probably better if that's what you want to do

Bulk Custom Menu and Wp-Ecommerce
I have to add a lot of items in wordpress menu (lot of 2nd level items) is there any bulk menu item creation method available to do it ?
is there any way to add wp-ecommerce categories in wordpress custome menu
|
Goto
> Appearance -> Menus
You can see all categories listed here including wp-ecommerce categories.
Just create a new menu for your wp-ecommerce categories. Lets call it "ecomcategories". You can call this menu in your theme using this code.
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'ecomcategories' )); ?>
You can just drag and drop for sub menus. You can create unlimited menus and submenus.

Simplest way to add a second html editor to the post/page admin?
What's the simplest way to add a second HTML editor to the post/page admin and show the content in a template?
What I need is something like a custom field that supports html, but I don't need the options to name the field. And I don't need a visual editor like tinyMCE; just html will do.
What I'm thinking of is simply a small text-editor box that sits under the main visual/html editor and shows the resulting html in a template via `<?php if ( function_exists('my_extra_editor_content') ) ...` with the text/html in a styleable div.
Plugins like < and < offer too much in terms of functions and choices.
|
I use Bill Erickson's custom meta boxes or plugin like Secondary HTML Content (probably the easiest solution)

List page for custom post type?
I have created a custom post type in wordpress and have 90% of the functionality working correctly, but I am having a bit of trouble trying to create a custom listing page template.
Currently it is using the default index.php page to bring out all the posts and I have tried to override this by creating a page-post-type.php page but didn't seem to work.
What would be the best method for creating a custom post type listing page?
Cheers, Jamie.

I think you want to create archive page for custom post type, create `archive-{post_type}.php` and it'll display you custom post type content.

Create a month by month archive of pages (not posts)
Is it possible to create a month by month archive of pages? I know it can be done with posts but I want to do it with pages.
I want it to take the date the page was published so if the page was published in August then it would create a link called "August" which in turn when clicked will show all the pages within August.
Is that possible?
Or is there a better way I can categorise my pages to show them month by month?
UPDATE: I use this plugin - wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields. Is there any way I could do it with pages? Is there any fields I could add to a page that could help me hack together an archive?
|
You could probably hack something together, but you should probably understand that, in WordPress, a basic assumption (and operating principle) is that _static Pages are not chronological_.
IMHO, a better approach would be to store the content as _Blog Posts_ , and then to use Categories (or perhaps, a _custom taxonomy_ ) to identify that content, and to display it chronologically.
If you have a taxonomy (core or custom) that identifies this content, you can even filter your primary Loop query, so that this content does not output with your "normal" Blog Posts.

Is there a way to figure out which action/filter invoked a function?
I'd like a lightweight way to figure out what is invoking a certain action in an effort to provide logic for certain scenarios where I can't help to avoid a function invocation (for example, a new comment firing `edit_post`). Is there a way to figure out which action/filter invoked a function?

PHP or JS for header image rotator?
I'm working on a site that is using this PHP script to load a random header image every time it reloads.
I would like to use Javascript instead to allow the browser to cache images and improve load times and was wondering if there's any benefit to using the PHP script over some JS script for this scenario.
|
Using PHP sends less code to the end user. (a single img tag instead of all the javascript logic). If you enable browser caching settings correctly (try W3 Total Cache), once the end user has "seen" all the images, those will all be in their cache, so on the "long tail" JavaScript vs. PHP solution is equivalent.

wp_redirect not working when going to www version of site
The following function works perfectly when logged-in visitors go to < taking them to the site homepage. When logged-in visitors go to < however, they're incorrectly redirected to < Does anyone know what's causing this?
I have tried switching my site settings to use < as the WordPress and Site Address URLs, but that simply reverses the issue so it incorrectly redirects when a logged-in user goes to <
// REDIRECT USERS TO SPLASH PAGE IF THEY'RE NOT LOGGED IN
add_action ('template_redirect','mkm_restrict_access',1);
function mkm_restrict_access() {
$url = site_url('/splashpage/');

//do nothing
} elseif (!is_user_logged_in()) {
wp_redirect( $url );
exit;

}
Thank you for your help!

Figured it out, though this is the lamest solution ever: I hooked into wp_footer instead of template_redirect. If anyone has a better solution or place to hook in I'd love to hear about it - thanks!
EDIT: That wasn't the fix I thought it was. Turned out I was writing the function poorly, and did need to be using template_redirect. See Cannot get redirect working

wp enqueue inline script due to dependancies
Is there a way to use wp_enqueue_script() for inline scripts?
I'm doing this because my inline script depends on another script and i would like the flexibility of inserting it after it's loaded.
Also, It's an inline script because i'm passing php variables into the javascript (like theme path, etc)
Thanks in advance.
|
Well, you have wp_localize_script(), but that's only for passing data.
Otherwise, you can do this:
function print_my_inline_script() {
if ( wp_script_is( 'some-script-handle', 'done' ) ) {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
// js code goes here
</script>
<?php
}
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'print_my_inline_script' );
The idea is that you shouldn't rely on your inline script being printed _exactly_ after the script it depends on, but later.

Is there a way to check which template file is being loaded, if it is not a page template file?
I don't see any way of testing which template file is being loaded, if the template file is not a page template. Otherwise I would use is_page_template().
For instance, I am using a home.php template file to pull in the content from multiple pages(don't ask), how would I check that home.php is the template file being used when viewing the sites root url?
|
Just type in some text like "Debug" into the non-Php area of home.php (the part not surrouded by ) and see if it appears. If so, you know that home.php is being used.

Querying multiple values from a single key

How can I restrict changing the max nested comment levels option to super admins?
I have an older theme that I've modified to support threaded comments. I would like the individual admins in my multisite install to be able to choose whether threaded comments are enabled. However, I'd like to restrict the ability to choose the maximum number of levels to super admins.
Looking at the capabilities, it seems that all capabilities for the settings screen are grouped together as one capability. Is it possible to restrict just this single option so that it is forced to be the same static value across the entire blog network?
|
There is only one hook for threaded comments depth - `thread_comments_depth_max` and it sets max value for depth ( default is 10 ), you can use this filter and set max depth fox non-Super Admins number that you want.
if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_network' ) ) {
mamaduka_thread_comments_depth_max( $maxdeep ){
return 5; // or any number you want
}
add_filter( 'thread_comments_depth_max', 'mamaduka_thread_comments_depth_max' );

Redirect Restricted Page to 404
Is there a way to show a 404 page if the current logged in user does not have the right clearance to view the page? I am looking for a PHP method, something like
if( !current_user_can('administrator') ) { show_404(); exit(); }
I have thought about using a redirect, but I would like to keep the url the same.

I was able to display a 404 error by using the following code in my header.
<?php
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->set_404();
status_header( 404 );
get_template_part( 404 ); exit();
?>
To break it down:
`$wp_query->set_404()`: tells the wp_query this is a 404, this changes the title
`status_header()`: sends a HTTP 404 header
`get_template_part()`: displays the 404 template

wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID);

Looking for a simple e-commerce plugin
I looking for a simple Wordpress e-commerce plugin which will just associate a downloadable product to a post (here a custom post type) and handle the payment with Paypal and the download page.
There are a lot of different plugin but they always provide a complex catalog, create a lot of useless page and don't provide a simple way to add in my post a simple "buy now" button which go directly to payment.
Are you aware of a plugin which meets these needs?
|
You may want to consider Cart66. I bought a single site license a few weeks back as I was looking for something along a similar line to you. It doesn't force a bunch of bespoke templates on you, instead, you have to create each product through a custom post (which is what you are doing anyway). However the big benefit of this is that you have near total control over how your product pages look.
Cart66 comes in two flavours - free (Cart66 Lite) or if you want more features and support you can try one of the site license options.
So far I've found it to be very straightforward and more flexible than a lot of the competition. Hope this helps

Wordpress time queries
When we setup the timezone in wordpress settings page. Does it changes the server time? If I call `time();` does it returns unix time according to timezone setup in the settings page?
I have checked this page here How to get WordPress Time Zone setting?
So, if i need to show suppose the current time of a neighborhood site what modification i have to do with the output of `time();` function? The php `time();` returns the time in the server. So is that depends on where my host belongs?
Thanks in advance!

WordPress tries to set PHP environment to UTC timezone. Usually it is more reliable to use time zone-aware WP functions, such as `current_time()`, rather than vanilla PHP functionality.

You can do it easier and without polluting the global namespace: `get_option('template');` gives you the (parent) themes name. If you want the child themes name, use `get_current_theme();`.
You could also use a constant across your theme files: `define( 'YOUR_PREFIX-THEME_NAME', get_current_theme() );`

Can't login after my site was moved to a new server
I'm working on a site which is not attached to a domain name yet, so I access to it through an ugly URL like old_server.something.myprovider.co.uk/.../.../
My provider moved me to a new server so I now have to type : new_server.something.myprovider.co.uk/.../.../
Problem is, when trying to access wp-admin, WordPress performs some sort of redirection to the old address and of course it doesn't work anymore. So I can't access the login page.
Is there a way to change the server URL in WordPress without accessing the dashboard ?
|
Yes cou can change it by accessing the database of your wordpress. It's located in the `wp_options` table of your wp' database. You'll have to change two values; the **`siteurl`** (line 1) and the **`home`** (line 37).
You can access it through the admin panel of your host and/or sometimes directly by typing in your browser the `DB_HOST` value you entered for the installation of the blog, now written in your `wp_config.php` file at the root of your site. Then just use the login and password also written in this file.
This should do it.
EDIT: i recommend the use of this kind of plugin to clean completely the database to change all your < to <

Is there a WordPress form plugin that can easily be configured for Google Analytics goals?
I don't want to have to make use of a destination url, so ideally I would like to be able to add the onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/G1/whatever']);" event to the submit button on the form.
|
This seems to be a valid answer:
Use Contact Form 7. In the "Additional Settings" box enter the following: `on_sent_ok:"_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/G1/whatever']);"`
Where `/G1/whatever` is the Goal URL you set on your Google Analytics options page.

How to make that all posts with a category belong also to another
I'd like to make that all my posts in the category A belong also to category B (so after that they would belong both to A and B), is there any plugin or MySQL query that could allow me to do that easily?
|
You can bulk edit posts in the admin. I have never tried more than 500 or so but you can display 999 per page. To have more than the default 20 click screen options.
Click posts-->filter by Category A
Click Edit---> select all posts ( clicking top square next to "title")-->Apply
Click Category B and Update.

How to create a cumulative posts and members count

$posts_times = array();
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$post_time = strtotime($post->post_date);
$offset = $post_time % (60*60*24);
$post_time -= $offset;
$posts_times[$post_time]++;
}
$keys = array_keys($posts_times);
$running_count = 0;
$end_data = array();
for($i = $keys[0]; $i <= $keys[(count($keys)-1)]; $i += (60*60*24)) {
$running_count += $posts_times[$i];
$end_data[] = array(
array(date("Y", $i), date("m", $i), date("d", $i)),
$running_count
);
}
echo "<pre>";

how to get tax percentage in wp-ecommerce

`$wpsc_cart->tax_percentage` contains the tax percentage for me using the latest version 3.8.6. make sure you have enabled tax and added a tax rate under settings > store > taxes.

Display two custom values from a post
I'm using the following code to display a custom value. The custom value being 'website'
<?php
$custom_fields = get_post_custom($post_id); //Current post id
$my_custom_field = $custom_fields['website']; //key name
foreach ( $my_custom_field as $key => $value )
echo $key . " => <a href='" . $value . "'>Click Here</a><br />";
?>
However, before the 'Click here' i'd like to include another custom value, thumb.
So the output would be:
Value of custom field thumb
Value of custom field website
Thanks.
|
How about:
$thumb = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'thumb', true );
$url = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'website', true);
echo "<a href='$url'><img src='$thumb' /></a>";
The `get_post_meta()` function is ideal when you know ahead-of-time the names of the fields you want to retrieve. Setting the third parameter to `true` tells it that you want to return a single value, and not an array of values (it's possible to set multiple values using the same meta key, and get an array of values back).

Are there functions for file paths, instead of just urls
Is there any equivalent to functions like `plugins_url()` and `content_url()` that give you either the relative paths or the file path.
For instance, instead of
> <
I want:
> /Users/username/Sites/wordpress-3.2/wp-content
I know that I can build this path using the `ABSPATH` constant, but I'm specifically interested in learning if there are built in functions to handle this.
In the meantime, I'll probably just write a function to swap the url for the abspath.
EDIT: Here's the simple function that I wrote to handle this:
function get_file_path($url)
{
return str_replace(site_url(), ABSPATH, $url);
}
Seems to do the trick, but I'd much rather use built in functions if available.
|
There aren't any for plugins, but you can (and should) use WP_CONTENT_DIR, instead of ABSPATH.
For themes you have locate_template().

Using add_action before add_filter on a plugin?
I'm writing a plugin and having a problem. I have `add_action('publish_post', 'sender');` and I want this function to run first before the add_filter function, although it won't. Is there a way to do this? I've tried moving the add_filter below add_action but that doesn't work. Also pasting the add_filter one into the add_action function doesn't work. Thanks for the help.
Edit:
For example, if this would work it would be great.
if (add_action('publish_post', 'sender'))
{
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data','changePost','99',2);
}
But it doesn't and somehow still runs the add_filter function first.
|
It doesn't matter the order in which you call `add_action()` and `add_filter()`.
What matters is the order in which the corresponding `do_action()` and `apply_filters()` are called.
So, if `apply_filters('wp_insert_post_data')` is run before `do_action('save_post')`, tough luck. You'll have to think of another way to achieve the desired result.

How can I duplicate "Add Custom Field" with just JavaScript?
I frequently need to add several Name-Value pairs to the Custom Fields of a post. At present I add these one by one, by entering the Name and Value and clicking Add Custom Field.
I'd like to speed this up by entering several pairs into a single box (textarea, prompt, whatever), and have some JavaScript parse them and add them as though I had entered them manually.
(Why JavaScript? Because I don't have access to edit any PHP or install any new plugins. I'm doing this browser-side, with Greasemonkey.)
As far as I'm aware, the Add Custom Field button submits the Name-Value pair with AJAX, but I'm not familiar enough with jQuery or WordPress to find the exact code that does this so that I can copy it.
Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks!
|
Quick search shows that related part of form is generated by `meta_form()` function. Start from there I guess.
Also note that you will need to retrieve from source and submit nonce that protects that form. I am not sure if submitting single field invalidates the nonce there, but that also might be the case.

Moving variables from one page to another
How can I link to another WordPress page but move variables to it as well (preferably not through the address bar)?
For instance, I have on one page a list of shops in which a user should be able to click on a shop, which would then open the shop page with the correct data.
So the shop's id needs to move from the shops list page to the shop page.
|
you could `POST` the shop id to the target page. otherwise- cookie, session. or just fetch it on the list page via ajax.
**edit -** a simple post request via a form:
in your source page:
<form action="b.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="42" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
in the target page b.php:
<?php
if( isset($_POST['id']) ):
echo $_POST['id'];
endif;

Using wp_mail() - verify that email was sent?
When using `wp_mail()`, is there any way to verify that the email was sent correctly?
|
As you have probably found, for `wp_mail()`:
> A true return value does not automatically mean that the user received the email successfully.
A possible workaround is to add an email address that you have access to in the recipients list, and if the one email address receives the mail you can be reasonably (although not 100%) certain that the message was sent.

Install theme on multiple domains

I have the following folder structure

\ mytheme
/domain/
\ foo.com
\ foobar.com
\ foosite.com
Would there be any issue with symlinking each site with my theme into each site's `wp-config/theme/` folder? Not interested in multisite. Had to developed sites seperately.
|
That will work fine - just make sure they all have read and write access to that shared folder. The symlink command should be:

Best way to get user id for get_users function?

$get_admins = array(
'blog_id' => $GLOBALS['blog_id'],
'role' => 'administrator',
);
$blogusers = get_users($get_admins);
foreach ($blogusers as $user) {
$userid = get_userdata($bloguser->user_id);
$user_info = get_userdata($userid);
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'. $user_info->user_firstname .'</td>';
echo '<td>'. $user_info->last_name .'</td>';
echo '<td>'. $user->user_login .'</td>';
echo '<td>'. $user->user_email .'</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
note: In my example above getting the user id does not work.
Codex reference: get_users()
|
Your code doesn't work because you're using `$bloguser` instead of `$user`.
And there's no point in calling get_userdata() since get_users() already returns user objects:
foreach ($blogusers as $user) {
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'. $user->first_name .'</td>';
echo '<td>'. $user->last_name .'</td>';
echo '<td>'. $user->user_login .'</td>';
echo '<td>'. $user->user_email .'</td>';
echo '</tr>';

Hosting plugin Google Code with auto update?
I've been developing a WordPress plugin for a friend who needs something completely out-of-the-box, at least what WordPress is cornerned. Now, I could use the WordPress plugin repository to host this, but I've already hosted this project on Google Code and was wondering if there was any fancy code which would make WordPress check for updates from that repository.
I feel this plugin isn't really for the general WordPress crowd and don't want to clutter the directory. So I was wondering if this was possible.
Thanks!

Password Protected page not asking for a password
I have set a page to be password protected in the admin, but for some reason WP is not asking for the password when viewing the page.
It definitely isn't a plugin as I have confirmed the behaviour with the plugin folder renamed. I have been testing it in Chrome w/incognito.
The page is using a custom template, which may be the problem? No other templates I have looked at though seem to display any password logic.
|
The answer to this question was simply that the built-in password protection does not apply if you are using a custom template that doesn't include `the_loop()`. Lesson learnt.

Importing users? From another wordpress site
Is there a way to import users from another wordpress site?
Both sites are new. I just don't want to go through the trouble of adding the same users profile information and password.
|
I think you have two options (third if you find any plugins).
1. I think if you export data from one WP, the users are also copied. The drawback is that you have to import all the content as well.
2. The second option is to export the users from MySQL using PHPMyAdmin. Just export the user table. If you want to include privilidges as well, you have to export wp_usermeta as well.

If the page needs to be added and available on the front end, you can use wp_insert_post() to create the page, the use a conditional to only display it if the user is logged in:
`if(is_user_logged_in()) { // display content }`

Set user after wp_create_user?
I have a form that creates a new user by using:
wp_create_user()
This works, but after this I want to auto log in the user.
I tried using:
$creds = array();
$creds['user_login'] = 'username';
$creds['user_password'] = 'password';
$creds['remember'] = true;
$user = wp_signon( $creds, false );
if ( is_wp_error($user) ) {
$msg = $user->get_error_message();
die($msg);
} else {
$output_form = true;
}
But this creates a "headers already sent" error message because it's not at the top of the page.
Is there a way to auto log in the user after I have created the user?
|
Here is a function I wrote that hooks into the gravity forms create user form but it can be added to whatever action hook your wp_create_user function is attached to.
function my_auto_login( $user_id ) {
wp_set_auth_cookie( $user_id, false, is_ssl() );
wp_redirect( admin_url( 'profile.php' ) );
exit;
}
The important part is `wp_set_auth_cookie`. This has to fire after the user is the best (only?) way to auto login a user without filling out the login form.

you can do that using `login_errors` filter hook and here is how:
add_filter('login_errors','login_error_message');
function login_error_message($error){
//check if that's the error you are looking for
$pos = strpos($error, 'incorrect');
if (is_int($pos)) {
//its the right error so you can overwrite it
$error = "Wrong information";
}
return $error;
}

Having admin on different host breaks attached images
Sometimes it's nice to have admin on a different host (admin.mysite.com) then the actual site (www.mysite.com).
If admin.mysite.com is not publicly accessible, then images attached to posts on admin.mysite.com will not be accessible on www.mysite.com since the url to the attached image is absolute and contains the domain (admin.mysite.com).
Is there any way to fix this? The nicest way would be if the url to an attached media would be relative and not absolute.
|
I found another way of doing this. I added the following to functions.php:
function yoursite_get_relative_attachment_path($path)
{
$paths = (object)parse_url($path);
return $paths->path;
}
function yoursite_wp_handle_upload($info)
{
$info['url'] = yoursite_get_relative_attachment_path($info['url']);
return $info;
}
add_filter('wp_handle_upload', 'yoursite_wp_handle_upload');
function yoursite_wp_get_attachment_url($url)
{
return yoursite_get_relative_attachment_path($url);
}
add_filter('wp_get_attachment_url', 'yoursite_wp_get_attachment_url');
This way wordpress stores the relative URL in the db.

Show recent posts starting at a specific number archive
Is there an argument to define how many posts ago will be displayed in "recent" posts. Could I add something to this and define a specific number of posts ago to start the loop?
$args = array( 'numberposts' => '5' );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
So for example I have a page of archives with their excerpts for the last 5 posts. In the sidebar I would like to show other posts from that category, starting with 6 posts ago.
|
`wp_get_recent_posts` basically uses `WP_Query`, so you can use the `offset` parameter.
So something like,
$args = array( 'numberposts' => '5', 'offset' => 5 );

I have a blog which uses custom post type 'aside' for aside posts. Now that wordpress has custom post formats, I want to use the 'aside' post format instead. Is there a way to convert post typess to post formats?
I'm looking for code/tool similar to wordpress's in-built tool which lets one convert from categories to tags.

There are a couple of plugins available that will allow you to do this.

Display last comments on home page
Is there a way to select and display the last X approved comments regardless of which posts or categories they belong to ?
I just want to show on my home page the last comments added on my site, but I can't find anywhere how to do that.

A slightly more complete and less abrupt answer.
<?php
$args = array(
'status' => 'approve',
'number' => '5'
);
$comments = get_comments($args);
foreach($comments as $comment) :
// display any of the following indexes as you'd like
var_dump($comment);

Error establishing a database connection error on a site that was working fine previously
A site that was working fine previously is now getting an error,
Error establishing a database connection
I have dealt with this error while creating new wordpress sites(when there was something wrong with the `config` file). This time, the error occurred when the user upload a file to `public_html` folder. Can anyone suggest me **what would have gone wrong** and **how to fix it**?
Thanks in advance.
|
Did you checked your wp-config.php file? Is database name or password is changed?
wp-config.php file is located on the root directory you installed wordpress. Open the file and you will see database password, username etc that wordpress use to connect your database. Check the username, passwords are correct.
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'your_database_name');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'your_database_username');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your database password');

How to save an array with one metakey in postmeta?
I have an array saved in postmata, each array key become a metakey. I want to change the code to save the whole array with one metakey. How to do that? Thanks!
$poddata = Array(
'pod_id' => $this->pod_id,
'url' => $this->url,
'name' => $this->name,
'description' => $this->description,
'service' => $this->service,
'status' =>$this->status,
'price' => $this->price
);
foreach ( $poddata as $k => $v ){
if ( get_post_meta( $this->id, $k ) == '' )
add_post_meta( $this->id, $meta_box, $v, true );
elseif ( $v != get_post_meta( $this->id, $k, true ) )
update_post_meta( $this->id, $k, $v );
elseif ( $v == '' )
delete_post_meta( $this->id, $k, get_post_meta( $this->id, $k, true ) );
}
|
You don't need to loop through the values. Just use `update_post_meta($post_ID, {key}, {array of vals})`, it should do!
<?php
$poddata = Array(
'pod_id' => $this->pod_id,
'url' => $this->url,
'name' => $this->name,
'description' => $this->description,
'service' => $this->service,
'status' =>$this->status,
'price' => $this->price
);
//Update inserts a new entry if it doesn't exist, updates otherwise
update_post_meta($post_ID, 'poddata', $poddata);
?>
Thats it! When you fetch it for usage, do the following:
$poddata = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'poddata');
$poddata is the array of values.

Is there a function to list all uploaded images? How can I add one?
Is there a PHP function that will return an array of all of my uploaded images? Or, failing that, how bout just my uploaded files?
The end goal is to display a slideshow on my homepage: have it rotate through each image, one at a time. Almost like an animated gif, in an infinite loop/cycle.
|
uploaded files are stored as attachment post type in WordPress. Use get_posts() and query for all attachments:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_status' => null,
'post_parent' => null );
$all_attachments = get_posts( $args );
EDIT - you can also set `post_mime_type` in get_posts to get all of type 'image/jpeg' for example.

You need to add Open Graph meta tags to your `<head>`. See `og:image` below...

<meta property="og:url" content=" />
<meta property="og:image" content=" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="The Realtime Report" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Now the No.2 ranked social networking site - as of June 2011 - LinkedIn has a highly engaged, profession-focused audience, according to new research from Lab42. Based on a survey of LinkedIn users in July 2011, the data reveals that 32% of users check the site several times a week, and more than a third - 35% - check the site daily." />

How to change order of menu items
How can I change the ordering of menu items -- for example to make 'Wordfruit Copywriters' appear before 'How can you sell more of your product?' here: <
Thanks, Richard
|
Go to appearance -> menus section. Here you can create menus, add menu items and drag them around to place it to your desired place.
Alternatively, you can set up the menu order of a page. Just click edit page and you will see the menu order it should be under **Page attribute** section.

Is this possible?
(I clicked Permalink Settings and specified 'copy-critiques' as Category Base, but this didn't do the trick...)
Thanks, Richard
|
you can set the permalinks to `%postname%`, however this would change the permalinks for the whole site;
and you can set the individual page permalink, which is normally derived from the page title, when you edit the page.
btw: pages don't have a category base.

If yes, how is this done?
Thanks, Richard

To change the **site Front Page** to be a _static Page_ :
* Go to `Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading`
* Change **Front page displays** from _Your latest posts_ to _A static page_
* In the dropdown beneath this option, select the static Page to use as your Front Page.
* If you want to display your blog Posts somewhere, select a static Page to use to display them.
To change the **title** of your Front Page:
* The Front Page will assume the _Page Title_ of whatever static Page you selected above.

Do all themes accommodate all features?
Do different themes accommodate different features, or can all themes accommodate any feature?
I.e. do I need to bear in mind what features I'll need when I choose a theme, or are themes only how things are laid out visually?
Also, is it possible to change the image in the default theme 'Twenty Eleven'?
Thanks, Richard
|
No, not all Themes accommodate all features; but to answer that question more precisely, you'll need to be more specific about what you consider to be "features".
Things that are generally considered _Theme_ features are fairly well-represented by the list of filter tags for WORG repository-hosted Themes. You'll notice that these things generally deal with _presentation_ of content.
Things dealing with _creation_ or _management_ of content are generally considered _Plugin_ territory, and generally speaking, any Theme _should_ accommodate such Plugins.
(Your second question is unrelated, and should be asked in a separate question.)

Theme change only in CSS and a few images
We created a theme that has a lot of changes in it. Now we want to enable that theme on our site in different colors, and a few images different:
!enter image description here
What we're doing is duplicating the theme, and then making a few changes in the CSS, and change a few images. But it seems an overkill - to copy the all the theme files just to make so few changes. Moreover, if we ever have to change something functional in the theme, we'll have to go through all the duplications and apply it.
Is there a way to give users the option of changing colors & images, without duplicating the theme?
|
We ended up using child themes, mainly because the site manager wanted to get a preview of the color change that would occur when changing CSS, and that was done best by the theme switching page, but also because it was easier...

Adding a list of social media links
I want to add a list of my social media pages. What ways are there to do this? Are there widgets designed for this?
|
There are a couple of ways to do this. You can do as Chris Carson suggested and manually add them as a text menu. You can also make a text widget and use icons with links to the various services.
If you're looking for something a little more robust, there's also a couple plugins and related services, such as AddThis, that do the icon and linking work for you and also let you track hit counts and such if you sign up for their free services.

Strictly speaking title is column in posts database table so it is not easy (or makes sense) to add one more title.
But it is trivial to emulate by using custom field to store additional title (or anything else).

Not sure why you would want to make that change, but if worst comes to worst, you can change it back via the database. Assuming you can access your MySQL database directly, simple navigate to the wp_options table and change the value of `siteurl` and/or `home` to your desired values.
EDIT: Alternatively, if you can access your code, in the theme's functions.php file, add the following code.
update_option( 'siteurl', ' );
update_option( 'home', ' );
Obviously, swap < with your URL. Then refresh the home page of your site a couple times. Once everything is back to normal, remove this code.

and if not exist how do I load in head tags the jquery library, I'm doing a plugins and I want to load my plugins script in jQuery and also do able to check if jQuery library exist so my jQuery script will run
|
scripts and styles should never be embedded directly in themes or templates because of potential conflicts between plugins and themes.
To use jQuery in a plugin or theme it should be enqueued with wp enqueue script. This will make sure it's added only once, and any scripts that define it as a dependency will load after.

) AS good_rows ON ( good_rows.post_title = bad_rows.post_title
AND good_rows.min_id <> bad_rows.ID )");
}
add_action('publish_post', 'clearDuplicatePosts');

you can use the same function simply hook it to the `publish_page` hook or any custom post type for that matter `publish_{post type name}`
so just add :
add_action('publish_page', 'clearDuplicatePosts');

Here is how to change your folder permissions.
* Login to your ftp
* Make your wp-content folder 755 (In most FTP programs, this involves right-clicking -> "Permissions"). 755 is owner: read, write and execute permissions; group: read and execute permissions; others: read and execute permissions.
* Inside wp-content create a new folder called "uploads", make it 755 (if not working, try 777 for testing, but never make a live site 777)
* Inside the control admin panel, go to settings>miscellaneous and on the first line enter "wp-content/uploads" as where your uploads will go to.
If this does not work you will have to log in to your server via SSH and make sure the ownership of the web folders are set to the webserver user (using the chown command)

Not being allowed to use some terms in Add New Site in Wordpress
The following words are reserved for use by WordPress functions and cannot be used as blog names: page, comments, blog, files, feed
This is the error message that I'm getting. I wanted to use /blog as a sub-site in the network. What I require is that my site has the following structure:
Home (only contains links to the other parts)
Part 1
Part 2
Blog
Would using permalinks solve my problem? I want all my blogs to appear in only the 'Blog' part of the site and nowhere else.
Another follow-up query is that, since I'm working on this site on my localhost, I'm using sub-folders. But when I eventually transfer the site on a web host, I want to use sub-domains. I'm mentioning this as I fear that any solution to the above problem can influence this.
|
<
/blog cannot be used as a new site name. It is relied on heavily by WP for the main site. Everything added to it automatically has /blog as part of the permalink from my understanding
You can check out this discussion < to see if it helps you out, gives some further options.
The main issue with the /blog is to prevent collisions. I'm not sure of the repercussions of not using it, when using subdomains
I'm not sure if you can easily switch from subfolders to subdomains..... I would think that would cause some issues. I think when you transfer over, the existing subsites are not switched.... so if you set it up one way, and try to change, there may be some headaches

Your not going to get an answer to this, there is no magic wand you can use to change what your asking without working it out yourself, or at the very least supplying some actual code with your question.
To change the CSS in a back-end option page you can use the Options API, < or write a custom CSS file and include it in your header.
As Mark already mentioned there is a color picker that comes with WordPress that you can use to fill in your custom field options with color values.

Use wp_localize_script() to pass variables to the front end so that you can pick them by javascript.
Use it like this:
wp_enqueue_script( 'some_handle' );
$data = array( 'some_string' => __( 'Some string to translate' ) );
wp_localize_script( 'some_handle', 'object_name', $data );
And pick it up like `object_name.some_string` in javascript code.

How to move post process to background
We have a large wp install that is freezing up whenever an editor hits "publish". It seems that the culprit is the pinging processes that run, such as re-building the sitemap, etc.
Is it possible to move most of these processes to the background so that the site doesn't hold up until the processes are complete?
|
Pinging and similar is all done in the background already.
If you have a plugin rebuilding a sitemap or something, then consider using a different plugin which doesn't have the same rebuilding time issue.

How do you change the visual editor's background color?
I have a Wordpress site in which the background color is black and the text is white. The site is fine, but it's a pain trying to edit content in the visual editor as the background is white (same color as the text). I end up having to tell users to use the HTML view or write up the content in black color text and then at the end just select all the text and flip it to white (in which case many of them freak out and think their text is now deleted!)
**How do I change the background color of the editor to black (or any other color) so that the content can be readable if the text color is to be white?**
|
similar to the answer by GavinR, using the wordpress `add_editor_style()` function; (as implemented in Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven)
in functions.php of your theme, add:
add_editor_style();
then create an editor-style.css in your theme folder:
.mceContentBody.wp-editor {
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
}

T31os's answer was right: Increase the version number inside the plugin's main file.. eg. 99.9 ... and also make that same change inside the readme file for good measure(though i don't think that's actually required).. – t31os

How to add thumbnails to posts?
I am using the latest version of WordPress with the Twenty Ten theme. How can I add thumbnails to each of my posts?
A step-by-step guide would be helpful in this regard.
|
FWIW, as a workaround, Twenty Eleven has this built in.

I figured out with my jquery slider. Need to help (:
my query is:
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('showposts=10&orderby=post_date&order=desc'); while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php $imaj = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'manset', true); ?>
<?php the_permalink()?>
<img src="<?php echo $imaj; ?>" alt="" />
<?php endwhile;?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

Is there any wordpress plugin available to auto share comments?
I'm trying to achieve like this. See the image.
!enter image description here
Is there any good free or premium plugin available to add this feature? I know there are some plugins out there like janrain,gigya. But those plugins have limits in free version. Their fee also high. So i don't like their plugin. Any other good plugin available? Thanks
|
Try the JetPack Plugin from WordPress.com

Group Posts By Custom Meta Value: Date
I have a post with a custom meta value which is populated via a jQuery datepicker and it gets stored in the following format: yyyy/mm/dd - is there a way I can group all posts from the same day together easily?
I'm not using Wordpress's publish date, as I need to have future posts published. I know using the function 'the_date()' will by default in Wordpress only show the date once per x amount of posts, giving the appearance they're grouped. Is there anything that does something similar with a custom meta date value?
|
The only built in way ( using a function) is to use `WP Query` and the custom field parameters, specifically `meta_query` and `compare`.
<
An example to get you started:
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => 'your_date', 'meta_compare' => '=' ) );
Alternatively, the custom field functions in Wordpress do not have many parameters, they are basically for adding and retrieving data, which you can then use with native PHP, for instance you can return the custom field as an array using something like:
$meta_date_array = get_post_meta($post_id, $key, false);
ksort($meta_date_array);
and use PHP's `ksort`to sort the order.

Plugins to clone wordpress site and move to another url
Are there any possible plugins that could clone an entire Wordpress site and install it in another location?
I build sites on one url, then to show the client and move it to another url to show it.
At the moment copying the files and database and re-uploading everything and changing urls is a bit of a nightmare!
UPDATE: I want them to run off two different databases.
|

I tried duplicator and it worked out great. A 25min process condensed down into 5mins, really simple to use and has now worked several times for several sites, great plugin!!

Menu_slug used for creating options page
I am following this page on designing options menus: <
What is the significance of the **menu_slug** ?
I ask because when I change this value, the options page changes to
> You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
If I change it back to what it was, it's fine.
**\---EDIT---15/8/2011**
This is the code I was changing:
function highlighter_menu_() {
add_options_page('Highlighter pen options', 'Highlighter Pen', 'manage_options', 'my-unique-identifier', 'highlighter_plugin_options');
}
and changed it to
function highlighter_menu_() {
add_options_page('Highlighter pen options', 'Highlighter Pen', 'manage_options', 'a-unique-identifier', 'highlighter_plugin_options');
}
|
I have found the issue. I was making changes to the plug-in code and transferring it directly (via ftp). I forgot to **deactivate** and **activate** the plug-in. Doh!
