Change permalinks for posts but not custom post type?
I want my permalink for my standard posts to be www.mywebsite.com/photoblog/name-of-post
So I've written the custom structure as: /photoblog/%postname%/
However, my custom post type 'projects' permalinks now displays as www.mywebsite.com/projects/photoblog/name-of-post
How can I fix this so it only displays 'photoblog' in the standard post type? | I added with_front='false' to the slug rewrite for the custom post type | stackexchange-wordpress | {

oEmbed not recognising Vimeo URLs
I am trying to embed a Vimeo video into a post. I am inserting the URL into the page like so.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
http//vimeo.com/1234
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
It is outputted as the plain text URL. I have tried it with a youtube link and it worked perfectly. I have also tried wrapping it in the `[embed]` shortcode but that just wrapped it in anchor tags.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks. | Looking into WordPress Core vimeo is registered like so:
'# => array( ' true ),
But looking at vimeo API for oEmbed they show their URL without the `www.` so what you need to do is register vimeo oEmbed correctly:
add_action( 'init', 'add_vimeo_oembed_correctly' );
function add_vimeo_oembed_correctly()
{
wp_oembed_add_provider(
'#
'
true
);
}
You can place this in your theme functions file or place in a plugin.
You may need to revisit posts that have Vimeo embeds and save again after putting this fix in. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Set default image sizes in WordPress to hard crop

custom post type not getting archived?
I'm used the plugin More Types to create a custom post type (News). I'm also using the plugin Smart Archives Reloaded to have an archive of my custom post type.
The problem is when i click on a month which takes me to .com/2011/10 i just get a page not found.
I've also added the wordpress archive widget to the sidebar just to see if it shows any of my posts, which it doesn't. If i post a normal post (one that comes built in with wordpress) that show's in the archive widget and also clicking on the month shows a page with that post on it instead of a page not found.

return '<a class="btn '.$size.'" href="'.$link.'" style="background:'.$color.';"><span>' . do_shortcode($content) . '</span></a>';
}
With that function you get by default color teal and size large. I suppose that for size you are using classess and for color just background. If not the case just leave a space and added it on the class attribute. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

url rewriting for most recent post
I'd like to set up my WP so that urls ending in `/last` would return the most recent post in that set of posts.

function ASHmostrecent_init(){
add_rewrite_rule( 'last/?$', 'WHAT DO I PUT HERE?');
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'ASHmostrecent_query_vars' );
function ASHmostrecent_query_vars( $query_vars ){
$query_vars[] = 'ASHmostrecent_filter';
return $query_vars;
} | add_action( 'init', 'ASHmostrecent_init' );
function ASHmostrecent_init(){
add_rewrite_rule( 'last/?$', 'index.php?post_type=post&posts_per_page=1');
}
A query already pulls up posts starting from the latest to the oldest, so all you have to do is limit what's returned by one. `posts_per_page` does this; limiting by one will give you the latest post. Edit the `post_type` accordingly. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Should HTML output be passed through esc_html() AND wp_kses()?
I'm confused about the different uses of `esc_html()` and `wp_kses()`. I understand that `esc_html()` converts special characters to their HTML entity, and that `wp_kses()` removes unwanted tags (e.g., `<script>`), but I'm not sure in what contexts they should be used together or separately.
If I run some untrusted HTML through `esc_html()`, then any JavaScript will be displayed in plain text rather than being rendered by the browser, so it is safe at that point, correct? The only reason to also run it through `wp_kses()` would be to avoid having the raw script displayed?
Basically, `esc_html()` makes it safe, and `wp_kses()` makes it pretty. Is that correct? | The general rule, at least as espoused by Mark Jaquith, is **sanitize on input, escape on output** (the corollary to this rule being **sanitize early, escape late** ).
So: use sanitization filters (such as the `kses()` family) when _storing untrusted data in the database_ , and use escaping filters (i.e. the `esc_*()` family) when _outputting untrusted data in the template_. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

When calling the editor on the front end, how do I allow a guest to see the visual editor?
I only see options to disable the visual editor site wide, or on a per user basis, but no option to allow guests to use visual? | Just add the `can_richedit` capability to the user you want to be able to use the editor.
You can use the Capability Manager to do it.
**Update:** to enable the rich editor on anonymous/guest users, add this to your `funcitons.php` or anywhere you like, just make sure it comes before the `wp_editor()` call.

"operation successful" message
i'm writing some custom wordpress pages, and i want that after an action where the user has addess an item to a list (after the user press the submit button and the page reloads showing the updated list) a messagge appears on top of the content area saying something like "the item xxxxxxx has been added." and then fades away after a couple of seconds (or it could stay with an "x" to the right to close it).
There is any function in Wordpress that allows meto do that? The fading is optional, but i want to give the customer some kind of feedback (maybe in a green-border on white box or something like that).
Also optional but interesting would be to have also the error message, all the same just red border instead of green.
The message has to show inside the page, not over and has not to be modal nor an js alert. | WordPress makes use of `add_settings_error()` and related function to setup notifications to display.
Using them is not very straightforward, so easier way might be to make use of hooks like `admin_notices` or `all_admin_notices` to output your own message and style it in same way as WP does. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Get post count of current loop when using multiple queries on one page

$my_post_count = $wp_query->post_count;

What am I doing wrong? | `$wp_query` hold main loop of page and should not be used to create multiple loops.

Add top-level menu pointing to a different custom post type?
I have a situation where I want to add a second custom top-level menu for a custom post type.
So, when we have a CPT named "fruits", which registers a top level menu with a label of "Fruits", clicking on "Fruits" will take you to `edit.php?post_type=fruits`.
I'm trying to add a separate top-level menu with a label of "Oranges", and when I click that, it actually goes to `'edit.php?post_type=fruits&subtype=orange'`. However, when adding the new menu the link always wants to point to "admin.php"...how can I get it to point to the edit url above?

Ugly permalinks stopped redirecting to pretty URLs
I have a WordPress 3.2.1 site hosted on a DreamHost shared Debian/Apache server. Since I set up the site two years ago, it's been set to the `/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/` permalink structure. It was also redirecting URLs like `/?p=204` and `/?page_id=1836` to their "pretty" counterparts.
Now, however, I'm seeing entries in my statistics packages (Piwik & Google Analytics) for the "ugly" URLs. Indeed, they're not redirecting to the canonical locations any more.
Does anyone know of a plugin that has been shown to cause a problem like this? Could W3 Total Cache be contributing? I think I updated it sometime in the last few weeks; I was definitely tweaking the settings. (If it helps, my plugin list is published on this page.)
I'll debug manually when I have the time, but meanwhile I thought I'd give the #lazyweb a shot. | Found the following in a plugin file using `grep -Ri 'redirect_canonical' /path/to/wordpress/plugins`:
remove_filter('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical');

Eliminating the appearance of a specific custom field in a post
I would like to suppress the output of one of my custom fields. Is there a way to do this using the `<?php the_meta(); ?>`command? | The function, `the_meta()` allows you to hook to the `the_meta_key` filter (which currently is not documented in the Codex); this is where it fires off:
// wp-includes/post-templates.php @line 744
echo apply_filters('the_meta_key', "<li><span class='post-meta-key'>$key:</span> $value</li>\n", $key, $value);
<
This filter is applied to each and every meta pair, which means that you can add a filter to suppress based on a specific key, value or key/value pair like so:
function wpse31274_exclude_my_meta( $html, $meta_key, $meta_value ) {
if( 'remove_this_key' != $meta_key )
return $html;
return '';
}
add_filter( 'the_meta_key', 'wpse31274_exclude_my_meta', NULL, 3 );

First of all, `the_author_posts_link()` is a deprecated function since version 2.1, so `get_author_posts_url()` or `the_author_posts_url()` should be used instead <
The `the/get_author_posts_url()` takes an argument that requires "ID of the author whose URL should be retrieved.", so `the_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) )` will work, and if you decide to use the `get_author_post_url()` instead of `the_author_posts_url()` don't forget to echo it out. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

My new WordPress blog keeps refreshing in Chrome browser

How to make custom comment fields required and message field not required

wp_die( __('Error: you must fill in both the rating and the brief') );

Remove the current item from a menu

* the first is a link ("Index", www.domain.com)
* the second one is a link to a category page

Random HTTP 500 error in WordPress
I'm running WordPress 3.2.1 on a CentOS box and I'm getting reports from my writers saying they get HTTP 500 errors when they try to update an exciting post.

* Step 8: Repeat steps 6-7 with every plugin until the site breaks to figure out what the culprit is.

A couple notes on what you'll have left to do:
* This will do no confirmation, so you'll probably want to use JS to verify that it wasn't clicked by mistake
* This will redirect back to the current page, which will no longer exist. The URI may look something like, `?attachment_id=704&deleted=1`.

Easy way to update a single translation entry without having to translate

Location of twentyeleven theme's option filters?
Hi I'm learning theming options based on the existing theme TwentyEleven.
I've come across the following code in inc/theme-options.php
return apply_filters( 'twentyeleven_default_theme_options', $default_theme_options );
I can't seem to find the add_filter for 'twentyeleven_default_theme_options', or does it not even exist? | I don't believe there _is_ an `add_filter()` call anywhere. If you want to override the option defaults, you can call your own `add_filter()` to do so, either in a Plugin or in a Child Theme.
**EDIT**
An `apply_filters()` call is nothing more than a _filter hook definition_ : basically, it is defining the data to which a filter hook is applied.
It is similar to `do_action()`, which is an _action hook definition_ : it defines the template location/runtime execution point at which the action hook is fired.
So, the presence of `apply_filters()` **does not imply** that there will necessarily be a corresponding `add_filter()` call; rather, it merely means that a filter is **available** to modify the specified data.
On the _other hand_ , the presence of `add_filter()` **does imply** that somewhere, a corresponding `apply_filters()` call exists - just as the presence of an `add_action()` call implies that somewhere, a corresponding `do_action()` call exists. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Display content from "About Us" page on the Home Page
I have a page called "About Us" with some static content. I want to display that static content on the home page. Would I need to do a custom query that returns the about page, or is there a better way?
$about_page = new WP_Query('p=7'); // is this basically it?
Is there a better way to do this? A more dynamic way that would allow me to distribute this theme to others who don't have a specific ID for an About page.
EDIT:
Found this page on the Codex. It recommends using the get_page function. | If you're using WP_Query, then assign that page a custom meta key 'home_content' with a value as 1. Then use WP_Query's custom field parameters to loop over it. If you can restrict the title as 'About' everywhere, use get_page_by_title, and if you can restrict the slug as 'about', use get_page_by_path.

How to determine if an admin is logged in outside the loop

Form Value of drop down category + Translation of 'show option none'
I am building a form where a user can submit an article from the front end..
So far so good... To this form i am doing some submission check using javascript..
When i get to check if a category is choosen
This is the line the retrives categories in the form:
<?php wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none=---------------->&taxonomy=category&hide_empty=0&name=cats[]&orderby=name&hierarchical=1'); ?>
I dont know how to check it.. what is the value being sent to wordpress? Also.. Can i change this:
show_option_none=---------------->
into somthing i can translate using the regular tranlation method aka __() or _e()??
Thanks guys | Ok... as thing go when your trying to solve somethimg you have no peace until its fixed so.. i went ahead and did some clear mind thinking (after a night sleep) and got that i can check the HTML for the values returen.
**Just wanted to share incase anyone stumbles with the need for this info**
This:`<?php wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none=---------------->&taxonomy=category&hide_empty=0&name=cats[]&orderby=name&hierarchical=1'); ?> `
Returns a value of the category number for each select item which is easy to check.
Also.. about the translation part this is the right way to do that..
<?php
$choosecatmsg = __('Choose A Category', 'blue_article_demon');
wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none='.$choosecatmsg.'&taxonomy=category&hide_empty=0&name=cats[]&orderby=name&hierarchical=1');

How to shorten the Permalink after WP>WP blog import?
We've imported a blog from one domain to another and the permalink thats been created for category archives is: domain.com/category/graphic-design-blog/tips-for-artist/ where **category/graphic-design-blog/** is superflous.
The permalink structure is set to the default (2011/10/post-name) and this is working fine for single posts.
Yoast's WP SEO plugin is installed, but there are no changes made under the permalink section of the plugin.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening / how I can fix it?
Thanks, Tim | Sorry [no-one ;)], I figured it out:
* /category/ can be removed in Yoast SEO by checking ' **Strip the category base from the category URL.** '
* The other part 'graphic-design-blog' was displayed because all of the categories were had the parent 'blog' which had the slug 'graphic-design-blog'. **I set all the sub-categories to have the parent: none.**

users.php?role=custom
I'm guessing I have to use the callback function on add_submenu_page and then load that template? What's the right way to go about this? | You can add an interal link quite easily, it's the same approach you use for adding custom items, you simply exclude a callback function and set the menu slug to the applicable URL, here's an example.

function add_user_type_link() {
add_submenu_page( 'users.php', 'Customers', 'Customers', 'edit_users', 'users.php?role=customers' );

Single Page Design, Storing in Theme Options
So I'm developing a theme where essentially all content will be displayed on a single page (index).
Well, the content isn't exactly conventional. In other words, it's not just a title and body, maybe a few custom post fields. It's very different from section to section.
What I was thinking of doing was just creating all of the content fields using the Theme Options API. So, instead of editing a page, you just go into the theme options area and fill in the content for each section.
My main question is... is there a limit to how much data should be stored as "theme" options? Or, after understanding what I'm doing, is there a better way of accomplishing this? | Option values are `longtext`. So you can store up to 4,294,967,295 or 4GB (232 – 1) bytes in an option value. I wouldn’t do that … but feel free to test the edge cases. :) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

why is this script not working on my site

So I implment this script at this way : <
But still all articles are displayed as you can see here : <
Anyone a idea why and how to solve this ?
Roelof
Edit 1 :
What I want to achieve is this in pseudo code.
When the year is 2005 and the month april(04) and we are on the first page of that month then 1 article must be displayed. if not then the standard number of articles must be displayed. | Consider this option of achieving what you seem to be requiring:
function wpse31701_filter_query() {
global $wp_query;
// Check year and month
if ( $wp_query->get( 'year' ) == 2005 and $wp_query->get( 'monthnum' ) == 5 )
// Check page number to apply offset
if ( $wp_query->get( 'paged') > 1 ) $wp_query->set( 'offset', 1 );
else $wp_query->set( 'posts_per_page', 1);
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpse31701_filter_query' );
Here we alter the query as soon as `$the_query` is ready to get the posts, to modify the `posts_per_page` to 1 if `paged` is 1, and apply and offset of 1 post if `paged` is > 1.
The important thing is to apply `offset` and `posts_per_page`; the rest is purely conditional so apply to taste. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Where to put third party PHP library?
I'm developing a couple of open-source plugins and a theme (all part of a "suite") that all use the same third party PHP library. I'm wondering what is the best way to include it in Wordpress. Here are some thoughts:
* put it in one of the plugins and require that plugin to be installed and activated
* create a special "core" plugin that does nothing but including it
* put it directly in `wp-content`
Any thoughts on that matter? | If each plugin/theme functions on its own, then you should probably drop the the library in every theme/plugin.
Then just check to see if it a class or function from the third-party library exists before requiring it.
<?php
if( class_exists( 'SomeClass' ) )
{
// require/include here
}
or
<?php
if( function_exists( 'some_function' ) )
{
// Require/include stuff here
}
Alternatively, you could wrap every function/class/variable/constant from the third party library in a check to see if it exists, like pluggable functions.
If all of the plugins and the theme are dependent on one another, then it doesn't really make much sense to divide them up and you should probably rethink that. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

// Or use exclude_tree to exclude children categories also
// $args['exclude'] = $args['exclude'].',1,2,3,'; // Keep it safe!
// (,1,2,3, is enclosed in ',' to ensure digits don't get welded)

Dynamically append custom post type to end of url

echo $folio;

Looking for a theme to show unread/updated posts since last visit or like that
Good morning WP fans !
I try to find a theme for a .wordpress.com blog (it's hosted there) What I would like to have is a "notification system", like for example to notify the visitor that there are updated/unread posts in a category since his last visit/refresh/whatever. Like for example with a **bold number** inside brankets next to a category. Or with ANY other way if that is possible.
Do you know of any theme that has that functionality ?
Thanks !!! | What you're looking for is a combination of
* KB New Posts, which shows visitors posts that they have not yet read
* Smart Unread Comments
* and some notification bar system, one of these four may make a good choice
Of course you will have to couple them yourself to suit your needs and requirements. As far as I know there is no such plugin for WordPress.
Additional ones that you may want to dig in are:
* WP Since Last Visit Plugin
* Published Articles Since Last Visit
Again, none of them will work just like you're imagining it, probably, so you'll have to write your own using the concepts those plugins use. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Master menu item for multiple plugins?

Subsite with different template, and content

All posts display default index.html
I am setting up a wordpress blog on a Ubuntu LAMP with ispconfig 3 and freedns.afraid.org. I have everything set up, can log in to domain/wp-admin to create posts, etc. But the blog views as the "Welcome to your website!" ispconfig page. What should I check to figure out what is wrong?

How to Automatically jump to the corresponding language of the page using WPML plugin in wordpress

Print WordPress template filename(s) for debugging
I've taken over the maintainance of a large WP-MS powered site. The site has ~200 templates, many page specific, and with no standard naming procedure.
It would save a lot of time if while surfing around the site I can see the template names which make up the current page. Is this possible? I've looked at the debug plugins for WordPress, but they appear geared towards variables and SQL queries, not templates. | this is also a quick way;
<!--
<?php print_r( debug_backtrace() ) ?>
-->

Add some fileds to the wp_posts table
I need to extend some wp tables (wp_posts, wp_comments, wp_users) to store some additional fields. I can't use metadata because I need to query those values directly via MySQL. I need an help to choose if it's better to extend the original table or to define an additional one with those fields, with a 1-1 relationship to the original one. This second case will require an additional JOIN. Thanks.
eV | The second approach (joining additional table) is better for several reasons.
* When plugin is not active, you won't retrieve it's data (or with other words, you won't select additional data unless you explicitly join it)
* It's more maintainable. You can alter your plugin table without altering posts table and vice versa.
* The join most likely won't hurt performance, but may improve it if there are a lot of updates \- (one more post on the same topic) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress Subpages Fancybox Trouble
I have a website that I'm converting over from a static html site to WordPress. I got almost everthing done, but I'm having trouble with there "about us" page. When you click on their profile it opens up a html iframe about their bios.
The current "about us" page
I have created sub pages for the bios in WordPress , but it keeps the current style of the site instead of the style that they have for the bios. What's the best path I could take to solve this problem? | So, if I understand your question correctly, your problem is that your iframes are showing the theme (nav menu, sidebar, etc.) and you don't want them to.
If that's the case, I'd recommend creating a new Page Template that is styled after your bio iframe (no menus, no sidebar).

Disable collapse of admin meta boxes
I have been attempting to disable the ability to collapse admin meta boxes. By the looks of it WordPress creates this functionality in postbox.js /wp-admin/js/ but I have been unable to find a hook or suitable JavaScript to overwrite the built in functions.
This is a some test code I am working with:
jQuery('.postbox h3, .postbox .handlediv, .hndle').bind('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});
Any thoughts on how this could be achieved? | Add this to your functions file and it will kill the metabox toggles:
function kill_postbox(){
global $wp_scripts;
$footer_scripts = $wp_scripts->in_footer;
foreach($footer_scripts as $key => $script){
if('postbox' === $script)
unset($wp_scripts->in_footer[$key]);
}
}

Create scroll of custom post types
I would like to create an area on an HTML homepage (HTML site that contains WP pages) that presents through an iframe or other, the titles of all posts for one custom post type.

Query posts from category based on a filter most favorited
I have one question. I need to query posts from category based on the filter most favorited ( < ) which is placed in custom_sort.php to my index.php page
This is how the posts from categories are called ( < ) in index.php.
Is there any way to get the posts from category based on the most favorited filter?
Thank You so very much in advance :D | `query_posts` accepts custom query variable as arguments. So assuming that adding
?sort_by=most_favourites
to an url alters the sort order to sort by the most favourites (i.e. you've set `sort_by` as a recognised WordPress query variable, and setting it sorts the returned posts accordingly) then, try:
$args = array(
'cat' => $cat_lists[$i],
'showposts' => intval(get_theme_option_by('bn_list_per_item', 6 )),
'sort_by' => 'most_favourites',
'post_type' => 'post');
That should return the set number of posts from the category selected, in order of '`most_favourites`'.
**Update:**
To alter the the value of `sort_by` for category with ID 30 (say), put the following, after `$arg` and before `query_posts`:
if($cat_lists[$i]==30){
$args['sort_by']='most_commented';

Disabling automatic teasers
I have a custom theme that displays the excerpt:
$data = get_the_excerpt();
if ($data) echo "<div class='excerpt'>$data</div>";
if nothing is entered in the excerpt field in the post editor, Wordpress will automatically use the auto-generated teaser.
I would like to get rid of this behaviour. Is there any way to do so? At the moment, I have to entere a space into the excerpt field of every post to prevent the automatic teaser from showing. | Try using `$post->post_excerpt` instead:
// globalize $post, just in case
global $post;
// find out if the post has a defined excerpt
$data = $post->post_excerpt;
// If so, output something
if ($data) echo "<div class='excerpt'>$data</div>";
This method will bypass the auto-excerpt generation inherent in `get_the_excerpt()`.
**EDIT**
By popular demand, the same code, using `has_excerpt()`:
// find out if the post has a defined excerpt
$data = ( has_excerpt() ? get_the_excerpt() : false );
// If so, output something
if ($data) echo "<div class='excerpt'>$data</div>"; | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress Admin back-end - advanced options page?
Am I losing my mind? I seem to recall that somewhere in the Admin back-end there was a page that basically listed out all the fields within wp_options. Does this ring a bell to anyone else? I thought maybe it was a MU thing but it's not there either. At one point I seem to recall running into a page where you could edit the options directly (without using a DB client). No big deal if there isn't but I swear I've seen such a beast, and I don't think it was through a plugin... | // Adds 'ALL' options page - only accessible for admins and custom roles that have the 'manage_options' capability.

why don't I get error messages in admin when developing?
I am curious as to why my screen goes completely blank when an error is present in my code. This only happens to me when it is an admin function.

How do I get the errors to show up and how do I stop the blank screen?
