Add posts from other Wordpress blog to the current one
This might seem like a duplicate, but other questions I've found seem to be about exporting/importing Wordpress, as a 1 shot deal.
My situation here is quite different; I'm looking for a method/plugin that would write in the posts as they are posted on another site.
Here is a more detailed way to explain it. My client has a blog, with his new site. He also has 3 kind of subblogs on other sites on other domains. The behavior we want is that if he posts something on the subblogs, it gets also posted on the main, new blog.
We can't run on multisite, the subblogs are already been running for a year, and there's enough traffic on it to not being able to take them down to make an update.
Anybody would know a plugin, or a method within functions.php (We do have access to the code) that could make that happen? | Try FeedWordPress « WordPress Plugins | stackexchange-wordpress | {

remove_filter( 'comment_author', 'floated_admin_avatar' ); doesn’t work
In a small plugin I’ve written to add an IP address column to the comments list I want to remove the avatars.
In line 156 I tried to use `remove_filter`:
remove_filter( 'comment_author', 'floated_admin_avatar', 50 );
Well … I know this function fails sometimes, but **why does it fail here?**
My workaround is:
$_GET['comment_status'] == 'spam'
and add_filter( 'pre_option_show_avatars', '__return_zero' );
I guess I stared too long at this code to see what went wrong. I need a hint into the right direction. | As usual with hooks this is issue of timing.
* your init function is hooked to admin load process, which works fine for most things;
* however in this specific case function is added to filter in constructor of `WP_Comments_List_Table` class, and object is created in `edit-comments.php` after admin loader had been processed.
In my plugin for similar stuff I am removing it at `manage_edit-comments_columns` hook.
Simplified example from my class:
static function on_load() {
add_action( 'admin_init', array( __CLASS__, 'admin_init' ) );
}
static function admin_init() {
add_filter( 'manage_edit-comments_columns', array( __CLASS__, 'manage_columns' ) );
}
static function manage_columns( $columns ) {
remove_filter( 'comment_author', 'floated_admin_avatar' );
// stuff

How to copy and paste a picture found on the web to wordpress easily
Anyone knows how to do so? What about if you want to edit the pics a little bit before pasting.

## Straight from the web:
1. **Right click** > `Copy image location`
2. WordPress: Add Media > `From URL`
## Editing a picture:
1. **Right click** > `Copy image`
2. Paste into your favorite photo editor (e.g. GIMP)
3. Edit and Save
4. WordPress: Add Media > `From Computer`

Keeping LaTeX contents in line with non-latex text

how to disable user confirmation from administration?
I have a multi-site network, on one of the sites the access is restricted to registered users, and only an administrator can create users.
I was asked to get rid of the confirmation email sent to new users, and I know you can select an option to add the user without sendind the email.
The problem is, that option is only available to super administrators (me) and not regular administrators.
Is there a way to add the new users without sending a confirmation email? I can get rid of the email, but I also need to remove the activation link, I need the users to be automatically added.
I've looking for hooks but I can't find anything helpful, any ideas?.

Allowing users to Sign-up > Login > Post articles that need approval
I need your advice!
I have a small hobby website, it's a small music magazine, with all the content published by me. It's setup with an open source Wordpress Theme with my custom graphics and CSS. I want to turn it into something else now, and allow users to have the ability to be able to sign-up > login > and post articles and any pretty much any post content they'd like. But I'd like it to be sent to my email or something for me to have to 'approve it' before it's published?
Whats a good approach of taking a standard Wordpress small magazine site, and creating allowing these functionalities? Is this a page or two of gluing PHP snippets together from around the web, could this be handled with a good plugin or two - or is it something deeper?
Thanks as always! | What you're asking for is part of core WordPress functionality. Simply assign the appropriate user role to new users. For example, the **Contributor** user role can draft - but not _publish_ \- new posts. Such posts then require someone with publish privileges to approve/publish them.
To set the default role for new users, go to `Dashboard -> Settings -> General` and set the **New User Default Role** setting. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to remove wordpress admin bar in dashboard
I would like to rebrand wordpress. Can anyone tell me how to remove it from dashboard? Is there any hook available. Or I should edit core files. If i should edit core file can anyone tell me which file?
I edited `wp-includes/admin-bar.php` and removed this action
add_action( 'admin_footer', 'wp_admin_bar_render', 1000 );

Admin taking a very long time to load
Logging into my site's Wordpress admin backend take several minutes. The site indicates that it is loading and then just hangs for many minutes before finally loading. It smells like something is timing out, I suspect a plugin, but I can't for the life of me figure out what.
In order to troubleshoot this, what steps would you take if confronted with such a problem? Turn plugins on and off and see which is the culprit? The problem with this approach is that after the initial slow loading, everything loads normal. Check php max execution times in php.ini? Somehow monitor outgoing connections to see what's trying to reach something and timing out (how would you do this)?
Any suggestions welcome. | I would do most of my troubleshooting in the Debug Bar plugin along with the Debug Bar extender plugin.
This plugin gives you detailed access to everything that is going on behind the scenes. It can also detail memory usage and execution time for each function and database query along with where it was called from.

Reverting from a newer version of WordPress to an older version

I want to degrade from 3.0 to 2.9. I tried to upload the `wp-admin` folder of WordPress 2.9 installation into my WordPress 3.0 site but it was unable to load all the files. I can not delete the upgraded version as it contains images of posts.
Is there any way to revert back to 2.9? Moreover, is there a plugin that can get this done? | Like you said, downgrading would be a bad practice and is not at all recommended. Please make a backup of your database before continuing, just to play safe.
It looks like you've only replaced `wp-admin` folder. WordPress updates are not limited to `wp-admin` folder. Try replacing `wp-admin`, `wp-includes` and all those files in the root directory.
Now clear your cookies and goto:
> yoursite.tld/wp-admin/upgrade.php
WordPress might ask you to _upgrade_ your database and continue with it. After this, you'd be running 2.9 (hopefully). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do I get posts by multiple post ID's?

I was hoping I could use `get_posts()` and use the string with ID's as an argument.

I've also seen someone mention using `tag_in` \- but I can't find any documentation on this. | You can use `get_posts()` as it takes the same arguments as `WP_Query`.

'post__in' => array(43,23,65)
);

as for `the_post` hook, it gets fired (usually) inside the loop it self which is to late to change any thing (like redirect) and its not a filter hook, but an action hook which means that if you return nothing, its just exiting your function and not effecting the outcome. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

'id' => $prefix . location',
'type' => 'checkbox',
'desc' => 'Check this box to make any links open in a new browser window',
'std' => 0 // Value can be 0 or 1
),
Obviously I'd need to be able to select as many posts as I wanted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | I'm assuming there is an option in the array that is meant to receive an array of options for the checkboxes...?
In which case, you can use `get_posts` to obtain an array of post objects (of which ever type), and then loop through this, to create an array of post titles:
For example..
$args=array('numberposts'=>-1,'post_type' => 'location');
$post_objs = get_posts($args);
$options=array();
foreach($post_objs as $post_obj):
$options[]=$post_obj->post_title;
endforeach;
You then have an array of location names, `$options` which you can feed into your metabox array.

One easier option is to protect the wp-admin folder with an .htaccess file. You could basically deny all IP addresses and whitelist the few IP's that you or your editors might use. You could also use HTTP AUTH to add another layer of password protection. It will prevent unauthenticated users from viewing the wp-login page.
And regarding renaming your folder, I'm not sure that it will really make your site more secure. For example, if you use any AJAX plugins, a hacker will know your admin folder location right away! And there are other simple ways to determine it as well... | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Multi-page posts: A subdirectory for each post?
I am using Wordpress as a CMS and would like to add a 'Learn More' page to each post that is created within a particular category. For example, when
is created, I would also like for
to be created, too.
Ideally, this 'learn more' page would run on a template layout that I would create, and have it's content populated by a custom field within the main post.
Is this at all possible? Is there a plugin available that will allow me to achieve this?
Thanks, Ben | Use wordpress post tab plugin,

Adding a Custom Post Type into the menu screen

`register_post_type('produksjoner',$args);`

I have been searching for two days now... please help me :-/ | To get your custom post types to show up in Appearance -> Menus, you need to do two things:
1. Check your arguments and make sure that **show_in_nav_menus** is set to **true**.

Double bar "|" in title (By WP SEO Yoast?)
I am wondering why my pages (post doesn't have this problem) have a double bar "`|`" in them
eg. `About || Jiew Meng's Blog`

Ok, I changed my title to
wp_title('')
Instead of the default `wp_title('|', true, 'right')` in TwentyTen. It fixed the double bar problem, but
If I go a Custom Post Type archive link, I get something like
PortfolioJiew Meng's Blog
If I go a custom post type single page link, I get
KLIF Media v2 - Jiew Men's BlogJiew Meng's Blog
If I force rewrite titles, it mostly works except for some pages, becoming
- Jiew Meng's Blog
I think I need to manually set the page title if I used this option? | I use this plugin together with TwentyTen too and encountered the same problem.
My solution is to leave `wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );` unchanged but only enable the call to function `bloginfo()` in the next line if plugin WordPress SEO is inactive.

// Add the blog name.
if ( is_plugin_inactive('wordpress-seo/wp-seo.php') ) {
bloginfo( 'name' ); //this call conflicts with plugin "Wordpress SEO"

Is there a plugin that will override the "Error establishing a database connection" message?
My provider's database server recently had some downtime and my site was displaying the classic "Error establishing a database connection" message for about an hour.
I knew what the problem was but realised it would be useful if I was able to replace that message with something a little friendlier (ideally a more verbose message contained within my site's template, so as not to scare users).
My question is: are there any plugins that provide this functionality? Or does this error occur at too low a level for any plugins to be invoked? If so, I'll probably edit the WP core, but it would be nice to use something more pluggable.
Many thanks,

Read more does not show up when I write my own Excerpt
On my blog on all my main loops I have it set to show the `excerpt` instead of the `content`

On new server, site got hacked, permissions a bit strange? Please help
I moved to a new server recently, a week later a site got hacked, all they did was change the index.php file of the current enabled theme, no big deal. I did have a few security precautions in place, no admin user name, all latest versions, no timthumb issue, .htaccess security etc.
I dont want this to happen again, what I did notice is when logged into my WP admin I can edit the permalinks, or any file within the editor (I tested editing the index.php) and it will save.
On my last two servers, I had to go into the FTP set the permissions of the files to 755 or 777 before making any changes, then put them back to 644.
They are currently set to 644 but I can fully edit them within the admin, do you think this is my problem? Kinda worries me.
Thanks, Matt | You can...
1. Learn about file permission (on wordpress)
2. Install Wordpress Firewall plugin (version 2 for 3+ versions) (this dissalow access to any folder or file indirectly)
3. Hide Your Wordpress Version
4. Try to update plugins & Wp
5. install Login Lockdown Plugin (this stops any brute force attemts)
6. Verify that your theme doesnt show "publish by $username" but shows "display name"
7. Use secret Keys in wp-config.. Keys Generator: here
8. Move wp-config up one directory (wordpress would look for it dont worry..)
Hope this helps... if nothing else - at least install the plugins.

* MediaTemple (Mid-priced)
* Rackspace (Higher-priced)

is_front_page use in sidebar.php
I want to introduce some code into sidebar.php dependant on whether the site was on the front page or not. ( I have a static front page and am using the front-page.php file ).
To cut a long story short, I have done some testing and I now have the following code in BOTH my front-page.php file and also in the sidebar.php file; but the two bits of code are displaying conflicting results. The same page is telling me both that I am on front page and not on front page at the same time. The reality is that I actually AM on front page so the question i have is this.

remove permalink trailing slash
I need to use the_permalink() in order to construct a simple link from each post . the link should be like
I use ?output=something" >
the problem is that the trailing slash of the permalink is giving me an extar trailing slash that is breaking my link .
I know that I can construct the structure in another way , but I want to use the permalink (much easier) and i do not want to change the permalink structure sitewide ...
any way of getting rid of the trailing slash ?? | You can use the `trim` command to do this, specifically, the `rtrim` to remove the character from the right side:
$url = rtrim(get_permalink(),'/');
Using a blanket `substr -1` technique would cause problems if there isn't a trailing slash in the permalink. Also, the function `the_permalink` echoes the link, and `get_permalink` returns it as a string. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

AddThis Sharing Bar Not Displaying on Custom Page Template - JS conflict?
< \- on the single posts the sharing bar displays.
< \- on the blog archive page it doesn't (even after choosing archive, category, index as options within the AddThis option, though I have not chosen excerpts at this point because that's not what we want).
This page uses the_content, not get_the_content, and when I view the source, I can SEE the bar in the source below the post meta, but it's just not displaying. Any thoughts as to why it's not showing on this particular page? I've deactivated all the plugins and that didn't fix it.
AddThis support suggests that it's then an issue with the JS in the theme itself, but javascript isn't in my strong skill set - I need help sorting that out. I've just started working with this client so I'm still learning my way around their installation. | The two functions operate differently. get_the_content retrieves the raw data from the database, where the_content retrieves the data, encapsulates areas with paragraph tags, cleans up, and applies filters.
I'm confused which is using which, but if the page that is missing the AddThis is using the get_the_content, try applying the filters from the plugins before displaying it:
<?php apply_filters('the_content',get_the_content( $more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file )) ?>
Make sure to use the same arguments as the original get_the_content function call. Strip out any that you aren't using, so the minimum would be:
<?php apply_filters('the_content',get_the_content()) ?>
I should add that the Javascript that you saw on the /blog/ page was not for individual AddThis instances, so it isn't a JS conflict. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Create custom thumbnail size on existing posts
I'm applying a new theme to my site, and the theme has a custom thumbnail size. I realize that `add_image_size()` does the work of creating the custom thumb whenever a new post is created.
This in my theme's **functions.php** :
add_image_size('ttrust_threeColumn', 280, 170, true);
However, I have a bunch of old posts I need to create this thumbnail size for. These old posts have a filename stored in a custom "Thumbnail" field, e.g.:
/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/this-is-my-post-thumb.jpg
I can grab that file path with this:
get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Thumbnail')
Now if I loop through all the old posts, how can I create the custom **ttrust_threeColumn** thumbnail size for each post?
I appreciate the help! I've tried a bunch of different functions and methods, but I can't seem to get a grasp on thumbnail creation for existing posts. | Banjer,

Is this normal? Can I make the Linux tag lowercase and the Linux category have the first letter capitalized? | This is indeed strange behaviour. The slug is a unique key in the table that stores taxonomy terms, if you make sure to explicitly set the slug to something different when you create the term, they will not be linked. However, once you've created a tag and a category with the same slug, it appears they are forever connected, unless you delete one and recreate it with a new slug. I don't think this was always the case though, I distinctly recall WordPress appending `-2` to the slug when attempting to create a term that is the same as a term in another taxonomy. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Does using a custom query_var create a security hole?

function add_my_query_vars($qvars) {
$qvars[] = "new_var";
return $qvars;
}
add_filter('query_vars', 'add_my_query_vars');
If somebody requests `my.site.com/?new_var=[MALICIOUS CODE]`, can they cause any damage? If not, why not?
**Edit for clarity** : I know that user input should be considered harmful. My question is whether WP vets the data that makes it into $wp_query. | Regardless of whether you registered `new_var` as a query_var, all GPC data (GET, POST, COOKIE) should be considered tainted. Basically, this data is user input. This means that you will need to clean and validate the data anyway.
Common cleaning methods include casting the variable to a certain type (like integer or string), using a regex to validate strings, etc. Also, if you are accessing `$_GET` data directly, don't forget to do an `isset()` or `empty()` check first to prevent "undefined index" notices.
**Edit:** In the first place, my answer applies to accessing GPC data via PHP's superglobals. That being said, if you use `get_query_var()` to retrieve your variable, as far as I see, you still need to clean the variables you registered yourself. WP will clean its standard query vars, of course. See the `parse_query()` function in `wp-includes/query.php`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I've disabled pretty much every button in the visual editor, besides bold and underline. The problem is that the functionality of the other buttons are still there with the keyboard shortcuts. Is there someway to disable the keyboard shortcuts. I don't need them at all. | Not really a wordpress question - but have you tried
tinyMCE.init({
..
custom_shortcuts : false
});
??
(might have a problem with IE though , on which case, you can override them with a foo function.)
function disableShortcuts(){
tinyMCE.get('elm1').addShortcut("ctrl+b","nix","foo");
tinyMCE.get('elm1').addShortcut("ctrl+i","nix","foo");
}
after that you will need to add the "foo" command to tinMCE:
tinyMCE.init({
//your other stuff
oninit : "disableShortcuts",
setup : function(ed) {
// Register foo command shortcuts
ed.addCommand('foo', function() {
//foo function does null
});
}

Custom Module, Extending WP with a Plugin?
I'm trying to determine the best way to expand on WP.
I love the base of WP for a website... it has pretty much everything needed for a website.
But now and again I need to be able to create some custom "pages" or small apps within the WP framework. For example, I've created a small app within a sub-directory of my WP install (/cart) for a purchase form. I'm including the WP head for access to the WP methods, but I don't feel that this is the most effective way of extending WP.
I've also looked into integrating other PHP frameworks like CodeIgniter and Yii ... again, I'm not sure this is the best approach.
Is there a way to create a WP plugin that has it's own "directory" or path? <
WP has so many great things going for it, that I'd love to be able to expand on it without touching the core.
Thanks in advance. | I think you could do that by creating a plugin that you can integrate into a page.
E.g. mingleforum uses a shortcode, which you can use to create the forums. You create a page, with the URL you want, e.g. "CUSTOMAPP" page with URL "example.com/customapp", and then within that page use the shortcode to instantiate your app. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do I know which plugin uses the most resource?
After installing several new plugins I discovered my site is getting slower. Is there a way to know which plugin utilizes the most resource without using the obvious method of activating/deactivating each plugin one by one? | Try this plugin: < | stackexchange-wordpress | {

User-friendly link to attached images for a certain post?
I have set up a slideshow running on the front page of my site that runs on images attached to a page called 'Home'.
I would like to be able to adjust its contents and order from the admin area. And lo, I can do this, by going to the 'Home' page in pages, clicking on the Media Library, going to the 'Gallery' tab and reordering/editing each of the attached images.
But this is not very convenient for the person who will use the site.
Can anyone recommend a plugin that allows for very simple management of attachments for a given post? Even if it's just a link I can place it in a metabox on the Dashboard and they needn't follow the above tortuous route to get to where they need to be.
Thanks! | The Gallery tab of the Media Uploader for an individual post is located at this link: (change the post ID as needed.)
I have no idea how robust this is, but I did a quick test on my own site, and the changes I made were saved correctly. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Why max-width:97.5% on content images?
Is there a specific reason why we find `max-width:97.5%` instead of `100%` in common themes such as Twenty Eleven? | Since the TwentyEleven theme also includes some default padding and a border for (fluid) images (see CSS below), a width of 100% would push the image outside of its container's width. This is because of how the box model works: border and padding are added to the width/height.
img[class*="align"], img[class*="wp-image-"], #content .gallery .gallery-icon img {
border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
padding: 6px;
}
A better solution would be to change the box model calculation for images in this case. A CSS3 property called `box-sizing` is available for that.
img.size-full, img.size-large {
height: auto;
width: auto;
max-width: 100%;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
Note: `box-sizing` does not work in Internet Explorer 7 or lower. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What happened to convertEntities?
I was using the javascript function convertEntities in a plugin that worked great until recently and now the function seems to have vanished under 3.3 - Is there a substitute function I should be using?
I am tempted to just copy the function into my script - is there a reason that is a bad idea? | `convertEntities` was removed because strings are passed to JavaScript via `json_encode()` now:

Get user id from email?
I'm working on an email system, and I'm onto the unsubscribing stage. Since most of my users would not know their user ID, I'm asking them to put their email into a text box (definitely preferred, since this IS an email system). In order to change their user meta (their subscribed status), I need to know the users ID. I mean I suppose I could pass it into an email and put it in the unsubscribe link, but I'm planning on sending out emails to people who don't have wordpress accounts.
So my main question is this:
What logic or functions should I use to determine a users ID from an inputted email address, and if none are found, store them in the wordpress database?
Thanks, I appreciate every answer!! | You are probably looking for the `user_exists` function. <
> This function will check whether or not a given email address ($email) has already been registered to a username, and returns that users ID (or false if none exists).
If the email address does not exist (`user_exists` returns `false`), you may want to use the `wp_create_user` function. <
> The wp_create_user function allows you to insert a new user into the WordPress database
Only do that if you want to create a WordPress user though, which you may or may not. I'm a bit confused by this part of the question. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Assign Custom post to Custom Taxonomy
I have a custom taxonomy called 'product_type' and a a custom post called 'product'. I have a cron job that is pulling in data from an external system and adds products as custom posts using `insert_post($post)`. This returns the post id. I now need to assign the product to the 'DVD' product_type in the taxonomy. I have tried `wp_set_object_terms( $object_id, 'dvd', 'product_type' )` but I dont know what goes in the object_id variable, post_id doesnt work.
Can anyone help please? John | $object_id is supposed to be a post's ID, make sure first that $post->ID would even output an ID, if not, the problem lies there. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Why am I timing out when using the Menu Editor?
I'm using a more or less fresh local install of WP 3.3.1. A few days ago I set up a couple menus (Appearance > Menus) without a hitch. Today I tried creating a new menu and add a page to it, but the page was never successfully added to the menu; the spinner just went on forever.
I thought maybe the menu name was conflicting with one I had deleted earlier, but I can no longer add pages to new or existing menus. The same goes for custom links; I just get the spinner even after waiting 15 minutes.
I only have one plugin enabled, Advanced Custom Fields 3.0.6, which I disabled to no avail. I have no custom post types or taxonomies. There are about 15 pages total with very little content on them, so WP isn't getting stuck sifting through a bunch of data. Any other ideas? | OK, I looked through the error log in MAMP and discovered a bunch of weird garbage. After Googling some pertinent strings (i.e. "caught SIGTERM, shutting down"), the best advice I got was to reinstall PHP with MAMP; now it's working as expected. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How does wordpress link page templates to individual pages
According to the Codex docs, wordpress uses the query string and the template hierarchy to determine which template to use for a certain page.
> First, WordPress matches every Query String to query types — i.e. it decides what type of page (a search page, a category page, the home page etc.) is being requested. Templates are then chosen — and web page content is generated — in the order suggested by the WordPress Template hierarchy...
However, using Dashboard settings, you can hand pick templates for pages:
!screenshot of dashboard page attributes
So, in this case, how does the Wordpress engine determine this, and where is the information stored? | It's stored in post meta under the key `_wp_page_template`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Conference website with ticket-sales + sponsorship sales with WordPress?
I am considering moving away from Drupal and drupal-cod due to the lack of good themes.
The two major features I am looking for are:
1. Ticket sales (PayPal), with receipts sent to attendee
2. Sponsorship sales (PayPal with different options: Gold, Silver, Bronze by price-range)
Secondary features:
* StackOverflow style forum accessible by users within a specific role
* Facility to send newsletter to all attendees
**Can you recommend a good set of free plugins, preferably built into one project for WordPress?** | I recently used < for WDC2011 in October, I didn't look to far in to all the options but I think it can do everything you're looking for.
I'd suggest also using MailChimp for emailing attendees as it is far better than anything I've found to plugin to WordPress. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
