Wordpress and Magento: let Wordpress manage user registration and logins?
I need to integrate Magento and Wordpress for a corporate website.
There will be other functionalities in the website that will require a login (ie forum, helpdesk and maybe others...) which I would like to develop with Wordpress since I'm totally ignorant at the moment on Magento and looks a very complicated system for theming and extending.
The problem is user registration and logins: which system should handle those? Wordpress or Magento? What would be the best route to follow?
Thank you so much for any help or advice | There is a plugin Mage Enabler < which makes Magento session available to WordPress, it's probably a good place to start. The author has written a couple of good posts on his blog detailing integrating the two. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress removes spaces in URL on pagination
I'm having a problem with wordpress rewriting my URLs, basically I have a regular search form with method set as `GET`, when I submit it the URL looks like this at first:
`
Wordpress adds the `+` symbol to separate the string and the results show fine, but when I click on the previous posts link the URL changes to:
`
Since the `type` parameter is now `MyVariable` it shows me no results, it doesn't matter if I type the `+` sign directly in the URL, when I press ENTER it just gets removed.
It seems to be related to how wordpress handles canonical URLs but I'm not sure about it, can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance. | I don't think this will solve your problem, but take a look at `url_encode()`.

Insert content into <title> head tag with function
Is there a hook available that lets you append or prepend text to the `<title>` tag in the head?
I've seen lots of posts about customizing the `<title>` tag, but they all involve manually adding a function inside the `<title>` tag. I'm looking to modify it with a hook if possible so it can be easily turned on/off in a functions.php file. | The content is modified with filters, not hooks.
To modify the <title>, use wp_title filter

Custom user role still showing up after deletion, ideas?
I previously created a new user role called "Owner" which worked fine, however I decided to delete it afterwards from my functions.php since I found it to not be as useful for my project after all...Odd thing is though, the new custom user role is still showing up in wordpress' dropdown menu where you assign a role to a user in the dashboard.
Any ideas whats going on here? I double checked my functions.php over and over and I deleted the function for sure so I have no ideas whats going on...My guess is its getting cached somehow but clearing the browser out makes no difference.

Apply styles to blockquote element with the WYSIWYG editor

Limit 'contributers' abilities in WordPress
I have a few custom post types which i don't want any contribute to view or touch. However, the default settings allows contributes to see these in their admin. How do i disallow contributes access to certain post types? | When you register your post type you can show/hide the UI in the arguments. I would approach it this way:
$allowed = current_user_can('administrator') ? true : false;
$args = array(

);
//register_post_type() function;

Displaying a custom post type alphabetically

}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'default_content', 0); | You are trying to echo within a variable. You also have encapsulated PHP tags in the string as well. You need to concatenate just the functions themselves like this:

$content .= '<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Custom Field Text here: '. get_post_meta( $post->ID, "custom-field-1", true ).'</strong></p>

"pre_get_posts" firing on every query

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'custom_post_count');
function custom_post_count($query){
$query->set('posts_per_page', 5);

Need help building a filter to edit the output of "image_send_to_editor"

});
If you want this to work just for your post content areas use this:

Painless way to track remote Git repo for Wordpress updates
I'm looking for a way to keep development instances of Wordpress up to date and under version control with Git.
Has anyone managed to the following?
* set up git to track a repo containing the Wordpress core files
* add the Wordpress repo to a project via a submodule or similar
* get the latest version of WP from within the project by updating submodules (or whatever)

Do I need to resize an image to fit the post?
I'm going to post an image in a blog post, first uploading the image to my server, and using its url.

If I need to make the image the right size to fit, what size? My blog is at <
Thanks, | You should use the built-in WordPress media manager to attach/insert images in posts. That way, if you define `$content_width` appropriately, WordPress will auto-resize `large` sized images to fit accordingly.
Otherwise, you'll have to rely on using CSS to set the `max-width` property for images within your content container (e.g. `#content img{ max-width: 500px; height: auto; }`
Outside of these two methods, WordPress _will not_ resize your image. If you insert an image in a post, and that image is wider than your content width, the image will overflow your content area. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to edit/remove a term that's in multiple taxonomies?
Some of the terms on my site appear with the same exact slug, in multiple taxonomies.
For example: 'education' appears in both the 'department' taxonomy and the 'topic' taxonomy.
Now, I can't seem to modify or delete a term from one taxonomy without affecting the term in the other taxonomy.
* If I change 'education' to 'department-of-education' in the 'department' taxonomy, it changes to 'department-of-education' in the 'topic' taxonomy as well.
* If I delete 'education' from departments, it disappears from topics as well.
How can I separate the terms?
Wordpress does seem to prevent same-named terms in different taxonomies in the admin, but my taxonomies and terms were imported in the course of a site migration using a WXR file, and Wordpress let them in—so now I'm stuck with them. | As it turns out, though terms could not be _edited_ without affecting all instances, they _could_ be deleted without deleting all instances.
So, it looks as though the answer is this:
* you **_cannot_** separately edit a term that's in multiple taxonomies, but
* you **_can_** remove that term from a taxonomy without removing it from the other taxonomies it appears in.

Make 'Page' slug the 'index'
I want to have my Index page show posts from a certain Category ('news'). I have that functionality, but is there a way I can make a 'News' Page, where the slug just points to the index? | I would take the current code you have and drop it into a page template called tpl-news.php or whatever you choose. Add the following to the header before your index.php code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: News
*/
//Add your index.php code here
//You can also use wp_redirect(home_url()) here as well if I misunderstood your question
Now, create a page called 'News' with a slug of 'news' and select the 'News' page template. That should do the trick for you.
I would also look at how Wordpress template hierarchy works and build template files that target a specific category - Example: category-news.php would force this file to be used when the 'news' category permalink is viewed rather than the default archive template.

Will the following code make my css deal with images in the optimum way?

#content img {
margin: 0;
max-width: 640px;
}
#content .attachment img {
max-width: 900px;
Does this mean that if I use the 'Add an image' button in WordPress, and then pick 'From url' to post an image in a blog post, that if the image at the url is bigger than the maximum width of my blog post, that it will not matter? -- That it won't result in the image taking longer than otherwise necessary to load on the users computer? | **No, the size of the source image still matters.**
**The rule only means that the image will not display wider then that.**
It is there mainly to prevent the large images from breaking the layout.
This will have no effect on the download time (browser is loading the original image anyway) and you are actually making browser do some little extra work to resize the image. Also different browsers will handle this task differently so be sure to check how your images look if they are being heavily browser-resized.

Does wordpress have a post hit counter?
Is there anyway to show in a template for a post, how many times that post has been viewed, like hits without some sort of plugin? It seems wordpress would have this built in, but I am unable to find any template tags for such a think in the documentation? | Not in core. You can use post meta to store this information on page loads. If you have caching plugins enabled, you might want to increment the hit counter with an AJAX call, otherwise you can just add this directly in your single.php and page.php templates:
//Add to functions.php
function get_hits(){
global $post;
$hits = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_hit-counter', true);
return $hits;
}
function update_hits($count){
global $post;
$count = $count ? $count : 0;
$hits = update_post_meta($post->ID, '_hit-counter', $count++);
return $hits;
}

Fatal error when using '#' character as an admin menu link title
When I try to title an admin menu link `#` or `#`, I get a fatal error before the admin menu is loaded:

Controller functionality - if user is not logged in send them to specific page (not wp_login)
This sounds dead bang simple, but I just can't figure it out.
I want the following functionality:
_If user is not logged in and they try to access anywhere on the site (including the homepage) - send them to a specific page._
I tried, adding the following but received a "not redirecting properly" message:
if (!is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect ('/public' );
exit;

Any plugins that I see out there redirect to the wordpress login screen.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
MG | The reason why you are getting a `not redirecting properly` message is because you are creating an endless loop of redirects. They get redirected to `/public` but because they are not logged in they get redirected again and again and again...
Try this code instead:
if( ! is_user_logged_in() && ! is_page("public") )
{
wp_redirect( site_url("/public") );

How can you make permalink work for custom post type and taxonomy?
I have spent days now trying to figure this out, StackOverflow is my last resort. All I want is the following:
<
For posts this is insane easy, just adding /%category%/%postname%.html as a permalink does the trick. However for custom post type this seems insane tough.
I have a registered post_type **project**. And a taxonomy **project_category**
Now I like my permalinks to turn out as
/project - Overview of projects in all categories.
/project/CATEGORY - Overview of projects within that category.
/project/CATEGORY/SUBCATEGORY - Overview of projects within that subcategory.
/project/CATEGORY/SUBCATEGORY/postname - The actual post.

url rewrite .htaccess extension to permalink

/mypage/
I want to be able to add another rule so that the permalink receives a slug

Execute Shortcodes when submitting post
I'm using shortcodes to insert some image links to my posts I grab from XML files (by an ID). As this needs to be executed just once it's not necessary to this everytime a user loads the page. So how can I replace the Shortcode with the needed content as soon as i save/publish/update the page? | That's not how shortcodes work. Shortcodes are meant to be interpreted whenever the page is rendered - they're used when WordPress _filters_ the page/post content.
What you're looking for is a content template. A tag the user can add to the page that will be converted into something else when the post is saved, like an RTF tag in a mail merge.
There's a filter that's run before posts are inserted into the database: `wp_insert_post_data`. This filter will pass the data for the to-be-inserted post as an array. You can take that array, parse your custom tags into whatever content you need, and pass it back before it's saved to the database.
Just filter `$data["post_content"]` and `$data["post_content_filtered"]` to make your replacement before passing the `$data` array back. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Best Way to Display Posts by Tag (not category)

how can i proceed, if i would like to click on n°3 menu, and have a new page with the post in the center of the page? Do you know what i mean?
Thanks if you can be of any help | In the Twenty Ten theme they are using a file called loop.php. It defines the loop for different page templates and defines theme accordingly inside loop.php. That's what allows them to use get_template_part.
Depending on your theme and how it's set up will determine how to go what your asking. If all of your pages or single posts will show only one post or one page's content you could use CSS to control the output so it was a centered block on the page when displayed.
If you wanted to use a centered single post template and normal layout on other pages, you could assign a custom class to the page you want centered by using an existing page template or by creating a custom template and assigning the pages to that template inside of the page editor.

How to remove "Taxonomy name:" from wp_title

Can I attach an image to a different post?
Image galleries display those images that were uploaded to that post, by default. If I wanted to move an image to a different post, so it appeared there instead, would I have to delete and re-upload?

Wordpress gallery shortag
I'm creating a simple slideshow on the side where i want to show 4 images from a post, i searched around i found this code that simply uses the build in gallery function
<li><?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery id="'.$post->ID.'"]'); ?></li>
the problem is that it spits out the entire gallery... is there noway to limit this to 2,3 ?
i tried to use
<
but for some reason, i didnt work... I guess it because all my posts are made of is a gallery of images
all help is appreciated regards | There is no way to limit the gallery query in the shortcode_gallery function. However, you can get the child attachments of a post using the following.
$attachments = get_children( array('post_parent' => $post->id, 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'order' => $order, 'orderby' => $orderby, 'numberposts' => 5) );

Only display custom field if it there is a value inside

<li><span>
<?php if ( function_exists('get_custom_field_value') ){
get_custom_field_value('Essential info 5', true);
} ?>
</span></li>
...and I want to find out how I can adjust it so that if that particular field is empty, it does not display the list item at all.
Thanks! | use empty function to check if the return value is empty or not:
<?php if ( function_exists('get_custom_field_value') ):
$custom_field_value = get_custom_field_value('Essential info 5', true);
if(!empty($custom_field_value)):
?>
<li><span>
<?php echo $custom_field_value; ?>
</span></li>
<?php
endif;
endif; ?>
also check if the function 'get_custom_field_value' is returning with echo statement, you may need to change that to just return the result and not to echo it out.

Add field to all custom post types
I know how to add fields to custom post types one at a time.

Thanks | You can't use the `add_meta_box()` function with an array of post types unfortunately although it would be a good core contribution.
The way to do this at the moment is to get an array of your post types and loop over them calling your `add_meta_box()` line for each one eg:
foreach( get_post_types() as $type ) {
add_meta_box( $id, $title, $callback, $type, $context, $priority, $callback_args );

How To Remove The "+ Add New Category" Link From A Category Metabox
Inside of a Wordpress category metabox or any custom taxonomy box for that matter there is a link with the text "+ Add New Category" is there a way this link can be removed preferably without resorting to JS or CSS hacks to hide it? A way to hide it using some kind of filter or action hook would be best.
If no action hook or filter method exists to remove it, I would be open to JS and CSS solutions as a last resort.
The reason I am doing this is because I have a Wordpress installation integrated with Magento and I am creating and populating a custom taxonomy called "brands" with a list of brands from the Magento database so a post can be assigned to a brand. Obviously this means I don't want users to be able to add in their own terms and only be able to choose the brands added in dynamically to keep it in-sync with Magento.
Thank you. | The default metaboxes are registred in the file `wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php`. There you can find the function `post_categories_meta_box()` which will generate the taxonomy metabox. Currently there is no hook available to filter the output. But you can do one of the following:
1. Use `remove_meta_box()` to remove the existing category metabox and register your own with `add_meta_box()`. Copy&Past the existing code to your new metabox function and remove the code block from line `345` to `367`.
2. The cleaner way: Remove the `edit_terms` capability from your user roles with `remove_cap()`. If you look in the metabox function, on line `345` you can see an if-statement which checks if the user has the capability `edit_terms`. If so, the `+ Add New XY` will be displayed. Problem here, the name of the capability is dynamic and could be anything. If someone registers a taxonomy with a different capability naming, this will probably not work (untested). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

wordpress threaded comments - customize nested ul / how child ul is displayd
I just wasted 1 day trying to make wp threaded comments works... and I think I'm finally done!!!! except that it doesn't work properly - well it doesn't work the way I want ! :)
Child comments get displayed inside the comment li - I don't like this behavior, I'd prefer wp to display it right below the parent comment li.
So by default wp handles it like this:
<li id="commend-1">
comments parent here here
<ul id="child">
<li>child comment reply :P</li>
</ul>
</li>
Anyways, I want it displayed like this:
<li id="comment-1">
</li>
<li id="comment-2" class="isreply">
</li>
Is this possible without modifying core wp files? Did wp developers leave options that enable customization of how child/nested comments are displayed?
I'm including screen shot for better visual.
| What you need is a custom `Walker`. You will probably use `wp_list_comments()` somewhere in your `comments.php` template file. There you can pass a `walker` parameter in the argument array to tell WordPress you want to style the list on your own.
This requires you to extend the `Walker` class. The following resources should give you some examples.
1. Read the codex about the Walker_Class
2. Check the sourcecode of the base class in `wp-includes/class-wp-walker.php` or the extending `Walker_Comment` class in `wp-includes/comment-template.php` on line `1218`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Redirection Plugin: Redirect all URLs with a regular expression
I understand little about regular expressions, but I need to figure one out to use with the Redirection plugin which supports redirects with regular expressions. <
What I need to do is redirect all urls in /oldsite/ to the domain root. That means any page in /oldsite/ like /oldsite/this-is-my-page.html, /oldsite/this-is-my-page-too.html, etc., needs to go to root via a regular expression.
I can't get a 301 redirect rule to work in .htaccess for some reason; there may be a restriction at the host, so I need to use this plugin.
It needs to be a regular expression in the format that the plugin understands. Some examples are in the docs for the plugin at that link above. The first field for a new redirection in the plugin takes the regular expression; the second field is the target URL.

How can I move/redirect single blog posts from one blog to another?

I'm thinking that for SEO purposes, it would make sense to have a redirect in place so that the posts currently receiving search traffic will pass that traffic onto the new site. | The best way of doing that is actually by just copying the post to your new blog, and on your old blog, add a rel="canonical" link to that page to your new post's URL. This will notify Google and other SE's that you want to have the other, new, page ranking, without actually having to annoy your users.

how to modify request to get_template_part()?

If you want to edit the `entry.php` file and want to be on the safe side if P2 releases an update, you should create a Child Theme.
1. Create a new sub-folder inside `wp-content/themes/` e.g. `p2-child`
2. Inside the new folder, create a `style.css` with the content described in the above linked article. Be sure that you have added `Template: p2` to the comment block.

How to sort posts based on the value (number) of a post's metadata?
I'm using the GD Star Rating plugin and the bbPress plugin. The first plugin do have a argument to sort posts by number of votes. But unfortunately, It doesn't work with `WP_Query` (and apparently the **bbPress loop** uses it).
That's why I wanted to create my own way of sorting custom post types in a custom loop.
Let's say I have a function or a variable that outputs the number of votes of each post:
<?php votes_number(); ?> or $votes_number
How can I use them in something like this:
query_posts( "orderby=votes_number" );
or
query_posts( "my_custom_orderby=votes_number" ); | To order using post based custom fields you have to store your variable in an actual field using `add_post_meta` or `update_post_meta`, or manually add it to the post field.
That way you can use `WP Query` to query the meta value for that field and order by the value. For example;
//adds a value to a field with the key name 'vote_field' and your variable.
<?php add_post_meta($post_id, 'vote_field', $votes_number); ?>
//query the key 'vote_field' and order by
$query = new WP_Query( array (
'post_type' => 'post',
'meta_key' => 'vote_field',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC' ) );

The folder and database entry are fairly large and so I was wondering if there was a plugin or way to do some type of "garbage collection" and delete items in the uploads folder which are not in the media library. | There is no easy way to do this. You could query the WP database for wp_posts that are media uploads and then run a script to match those again the files in the uploads folder, but even this would be a little shaky. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

change sidebar or just widgets for 2 specific post type single posts
I would like to show a different sidebar for 2 specific posts(same custom post type). I understand how to do this using separate templates for different pages, but I want to have it all happen in the single-posttype.php page. Or am I thinking about this wrong? My end goal is to show different text widgets in the sidebar on specific posts. | I think Widget Logic is what you're looking for. It adds a field to each widget to allow you to specify which post get which widgets. It uses the standard Conditional Tags making it easy to use. You'd just want to do something like
is_single( 'Slug1-or-ID1' ) || is_single( 'Slug2-or-ID2' )
You could also try the a post type method to show only a specific post type:
//not tested but something like
global $post; return ('book' == get_post_type($post)); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

No "available widgets" (wordpress 3.2.1 multisite)
I have no widgets available any ideas?
I've tried the "Twenty Eleven" Standard Theme and the custom one (Lotus).
No widgets are listed, I am looking for the custom_menu widget.
In my other wordpress installation I have plenty of widgets available.
**Update** : I use a multisite installation and I found that the blog_id in wp_options is set to 0 (not sure this has something to do with it?) | Stupid mistake, I commented this out by mistake in wp-includes/widgets.php line 323:
function register($widget_class) {
// $this->widgets[$widget_class] = & new $widget_class();

.current_page_ancestor broken in Twenty Eleven
I would like to have a level 1 menu in a vertical menu and a full menu in a vertical menu in the left sidebar in Twenty Eleven. My problem is that I would like to make the top item bold if the user is in it, or in one of it's child menues.
The ideal solution would be to apply a rule for `.current_page_ancestor`. But for my biggest surprise, that rule IS already in the original css file for Twenty Eleven. But it seems to be broken, as nothing happens!
#access .current_page_item > a,
#access .current_page_ancestor > a {
font-weight: bold;
}
Do you know how to fix this? Is there a ticket for this bug already?
To have an idea, have a look at this site, I made the selector red to make it visible. What I would like to achieve is that the top menu stays red even if I'm in one of the child menus on the left.

How do you force the wordpress dashboard to be 1 coulmn by default?
How do you force the wordpress dashboard to be 1 coulmn by default? I want to show the dashboard as a single column for all users. | I found a promising looking answer to this question in the following post: <
It recommends using this code in the functions.php file:
function so_screen_layout_columns( $columns ) {
$columns['dashboard'] = 1;
return $columns;
}
add_filter( 'screen_layout_columns', 'so_screen_layout_columns' );
function so_screen_layout_dashboard() {
return 1;
}
add_filter( 'get_user_option_screen_layout_dashboard', 'so_screen_layout_dashboard' );
Hope that helps! | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Having trouble with the_post_thumbnail to display thumbnail with custom size
I have code that looks like this:
$post_thumbnail = the_post_thumbnail( array ( $w, $h ) );
I want to know what I'm doing wrong. When I pass in values for width and height, Wordpress returns an image with the correct hight but with the incorrect width. Is it possible for me to get the exact image specified? | Always start with the Codex. According to the function reference for `the_post_thumbnail()`:
> Parameters
>
> $size
>
> (string/array) (Optional) Image size. Either a string keyword (thumbnail, medium, large, full), or any custom size keyword defined by add_image_size(), or a 2-item array representing width and height in pixels, e.g. array(32,32).
>
> Default: 'post-thumbnail', which theme sets using set_post_thumbnail_size.
>
> **PLEASE NOTE: The crop does not work in Wp 3.0+.** All that is needed for WP 3.0+ is the call for the thumbnail to post. Then proceed to media in the dashboard and set your thumbnail to crop to the size you wish to use.
You need to create your custom image size, via `add_image_size( $name, $w, $h, $crop )`, and then call `the_post_thumbnail( $name )`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Category and tag with same name
IN my blog, if I have a category and tag with the same name, it will make the tag have a number in the URI.
Example:
**category/php**
**tags/php-2**
Is there anyway to make my tags with the same name as an existing category, to not append a number to the end of them for my links? | Tags and Categories use the same system, So that is not possible.

wordpress featured image
I'm new to Wordpress and I'm trying to create a new theme for it. I've downloaded the latest version (3.2.1) and installed it successfuly. But when I install my wordpress theme (to start to add the PHP) and try to create a new post, what happens is that the Set Featured Image box disappears and it only shows again when I return to the default theme.
Any suggestions for this? Thank you | The most simple form of the featured images (post thumbnails) looks like this:
You need to have this piece of code in your functions.php file:
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
Then in the index.php, or any other template file you want to show the post thumb or featured images, you would add this:
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?>
The code above usually goes just after <`?php the_title(); ?>`
Once you've added those, you should see them on posts. To have them on posts and pages, use this in place of the first code for the functions.php file:
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'page' ) ); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

if (function_exists('add_theme_support')) {
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
}
and then you will be able to use featured image in your theme | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Permalinks on post is working, on pages 404 error
I am having troublle with setting my permalink in wordpress site.
I changed the permalink from default to custome : `%postname%`. In this case my posts are working perfectly, but the pages are not. They generates a error 404 page not found.
I've changed the .htaccess file permission, did everything, but nothing is working.
Any suggestion to solve this? | I figured it out! It was basically a mysql user privilege problem. For security reasons, I had switched off a lot of permissions, so it couldn't write the data. I gave the conflicting permissions and it worked! Thanks to Jeremy for his help! | stackexchange-wordpress | {

wp-admin blocking causing http error on uploads
I'm using this function to prevent users apart from admin from getting to the backend of wordpress. (Note, that addition to allow ajax requests too):
add_action( 'init', 'my_block_users' );
function my_block_users() {
$isAjax = (defined('DOING_AJAX') && true === DOING_AJAX) ? true : false;
if(!$isAjax) {
if ( is_admin() && ! current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
}
}
}
Trouble is, it causes an http error when uploading images etc. Does anyone know a work around for this? Thanks! | Works on my side. Try disabling your plugins and test again.
Btw. You could use `admin_init` instead of the `init` action hook. This way, the snippet will only be executed on admin requests. This way, you can remove the `is_admin()` check in the function. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
