wp_set_object_terms() -- prevent overwrite?
From my understanding (and before trial and error),
wp_set_object_terms( 'post_id', 'add_this_term', 'in_this_taxonomy');
But from the Codex, apparently adding the term will overwrite any other terms that are set for that post and that taxonomy?
Is this right? What if the terms are nested? | `wp_set_object_terms()` has a fourth argument called `append`. Setting that to true during the call should add the term without unsetting the already set terms.

Applying a filter to multiple loops for days ago
I'm trying to use a filter that limits the days ago loops pull posts from.
My problem is that I need different day limits for certain loops on the index page and when I duplicate the filter over a second loop, I get an error saying "Cannot redeclare filter_where() (previously declared in ".)
I remove the filter after the first loop that I use it, but that doesn't help. Here are the filters...
<?php
function filter_where($where = '') {
$where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days')) . "'";
return $where;
}

Redirect to post_id?
I am using a Simple 301 Redirects plugin and I understand that this requires the redirect to be a permalink.
Is there any way I can redirect to a post_id? That way I can move the post (or page in this case) and then I don't have to worry about rewriting the direct URL.
Thanks. | The redirection plugin will automatically create a redirection rule when the postname is changed.

Javascript from Easy-Fancybox place into footer
the Easy FancyBox WP-Plugin works fine for me.
Just the script will be placed in the header of my source, like other plugin, too. I´d like to push it down to the footer of my website (incl. the inline-script) below jquery-library.
Can i fixed it?
Thanks Ingo | You can ask the plugin author to update the plugin so scripts go in the footer rather than the header.
Or you can look in the plugin code and see this:
wp_enqueue_script('jquery.fancybox', plugins_url(FANCYBOX_SUBDIR.'/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-'.FANCYBOX_VERSION.'.pack.js', __FILE__), array('jquery'), FANCYBOX_VERSION);

Installing WP twice in same Directory?
I have a website that has Wordpress installed in the root directory `/`

I want to setup another Wordpress install inside of this folder. Is it hazardous to have two Wordpress installs setup this way?

How to include first assigned category in the post URL?
What are the options for creating URLs like:
_site.com/category-name/post-name_

Note: if the post is assigned to "uncategorized", I don't want to display the category name in the URL, so in that case, I just want
_site.com/post-name_
PS: it will also require the removal of the word "category" from the URL. I was able to get that done with the plugin "no category base", however, it does not include the parent category name in the URL to a post. | By default, the category with lowest ID is used.

Can the Twenty Eleven theme have a Main Sidbar at all?

Programatically changing template of a page
Is there a way to change the **Template** of a **page** from **Default Template** to another programatically? | Looking at the wp_postmeta table, you can see the page template is stored there.
Therefore, a simple call to `update_post_meta` (codex) should do the trick :
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_wp_page_template', 'my_template.php' );
The filename and extension is necessary, as per my example. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to make WP_Query 'post__in' accept an array?
I have a function that returns a comma separated list of post ids that a particular user can access. I want to use this list in a WP_Query loop.
The custom function:
$array = user_albums();
foreach( $array as $post ) {
if( !in_array( $post->ID, $array ) )
$ids[] = $post->ID;
}
$access_ids = implode( ', ', $ids );
So here is the situation:
1. On my test site the id list is `158, 162, 145, 269`.
2. Inserting the list of ids returns only the first post. `'post__in'=> array( $access_ids ),`
3. Inserting the list of ids not in an array returns an error. `'post__in'=> $access_ids ,`
4. Inserting the post ids manually returns correct posts `'post__in'=> array( 158, 162, 145, 269 ),`
**What could I be doing wrong?**
I appreciate any help. | `$access_ids` is a string. `post__in` accepts an array.
So instead of $access_ids you could use `'post__in'=> $ids` skipping the `$access_ids = implode( ', ', $ids );` all together. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Include Drafts or Future posts with count_user_posts?
I'm use the code below to get the number of posts by a user and it works fine but it only includes published posts. How can I modify this code or use different code to have it include "future" post_status's or "drafts", for example.
<?php
$post_count = count_user_posts($curauth->ID);
echo '<p>User post count is ' . $post_count;
?> | This will do what you want:
$args = array(
'author' => $curauth->ID,
'post_status' => array(
'publish',
'pending',
'draft',
'future'
)
);
$posts = new WP_Query();
$post_count = $posts->found_posts;
It will include drafts, pending posts, published posts, and future posts. There are more you can set, such as trashed posts, and private posts, but that didn't seem to follow the intent of the question. This method will include custom post types as well as the builtin post types, so additional filtering may be in order.

Should I custom code drop down menus or use a wordpress plugin?

What is the best practice for wordpress dropdown menus:

Graphic design changes on Staging before moving to Production?
I have a Development, Staging and Production workflow for my WordPress site. I am fairly strict about any structural work to be done on the site being done in Staging first, then migrated to Production.

Plugin for loading comments on-demand
Is there a plugin which would allow visitors to load comments when they want to, rather than always showing them by default? Preferably through an AJAX call or something to prevent page reload.
I'm thinking a nice and visible link or button with `View n comments` or something along those lines. Hope I'm making sense :) | A solution oriented around users without javascript:
1. Apply a wrapper `div` to your comments, leave everything else (including CSS as is)
2. On page load, use javascript to hide the wrapper and display a link or button or something for 'view comments'
3. onclick 'view comments', fade/slide the comments in.
The advantage to this is that your comments will still be visible to those not using javascript (specifically: search engines), but it will behave exactly like it would if you made the changes in the CSS. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

ABSPATH in Windows
I'm having a a pain in the head using the `ABSPATH` constant in Windows.
Addressing files and folders in Windows is usually done using the `\` (forward-slash) character while for Linux the character would be `/` (backslash).
Unfortunately the `ABSPATH` in Wordpress is defined with only Linux in mind (putting a `/` at the end of it).
I wonder if I can over-ride it's definition since in `wp-config.php` it's defined under an `if` clause which indicates it can be defined elsewhere.
**Problem detalis:**
1. I'm running on `localhost`
2. The problem is with the `statpress-visitors` internal addressing.
This is how it addresses the files:
ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/' . dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__)) . '/def/os.dat'
And this is what I get as output:
C:\wamp\www\wp/wp-content/plugins/statpress-visitors/def/os.dat | Windows does support both styles of slashes in path.
I am not sure if `ABSPATH` definition is safe to edit:
* _pro_ it's in `wp-config.php`
* _con_ it's says to not edit following above it
Myself I just use it as is, or replace slashes to make them uniform when putting path together. If that doesn't work for you please provide specific examples where this causes issues. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WP-e-commerce (getshopped) - Annoying permalink issue
i’m using wp-ecommerce (getshopped) and WPML on a website, all pages display correctly when i use the default (/ugly…) permalink structure, but when i try to use the much desired permalink structure /%category%/%postname%/ something weird happens:

Settings API - changing add_settings_field() output?

add_settings_field('the_field', 'bar', 'foo', 'page', 'section');
function foo() {
echo 'foo';
}

<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row">bar</th>

How to query posts with certain custom meta data, and output Post data
I've been working on modifying the Thesography plugin to include the Google Maps API. So far I've had success doing so.
I'm looking to take this one step further and have 1 large Google Map that would display all of my images on 1 map. Then when you hover over a marker, an image thumbnail comes up with the post title. I know the requirements for the Google Maps API to make this possible, but am struggling with trying to get the data out of MySQL.
I'm looking for some coding help that'll help me extract the following information from a post, IF it has "latlng_readable" in the post_metadata. For the Google Map, I'd like to be able to grab the post title, the post image URL and the "latlng_readable" meta coordinates for the marker pin.
This way I can put this into the Google Maps API so that in the popup box for my marker is a little thumbnail of the image, as well as the title of that image. | Trying using `WP_Query()` using the `meta_query` arguments.
Something like this:
<?php
$geotag_post_query_args = array(
'meta_key' => 'latlng_readable'
);

?>
Now, `$geotagged_posts` is a query object, that should include all Posts that have the `latlng_readable` meta field. You can extract the `$post` data from this object the same as any other query object. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

When replacing #site-title with an image - why must it be located in root?
I needed to replace the `#site-title` text with an image and I found a great blog post explaining this:

How can you change the 'Insert into Post' title in the media button?
Actualy the question says it all. I integrated a media upload box to my admin page and a button with the text 'Insert into post' makes no sense. I rather like to change it to something like 'Use this image'. Anyone got a clue on how you are able to do so? | add_filter("attribute_escape", "myfunction", 10, 2);
function myfunction($safe_text, $text) {
return str_replace("Insert into Post", "Use this image", $text);
}
Place in your theme functions file of in a plugin file.
The first usable filter that this button hits is on the function `esc_attr()`. So what that code will do is find any instance of `Insert into Post` that is run through `esc_attr()` and replace it to `Use this image`. This code might have undesired issues elsewhere though. Maybe there is a language file method someone might know of that might be a better solution than this.
**TRY:**
add_filter("attribute_escape", "myfunction", 10, 2);
function myfunction($safe_text, $text) {
return str_replace(__('Insert into Post'), __('Use this image'), $text);
}

is_front_page only works in theme file, and does not work in functions.php
If I use is_front_page() in my front-page.php file it works as expected. However if I use the same function in my theme functions.php file it does not work. Is this normal behavior? If not can it be trouble shot somehow?
In settings->reading I have my front page set to a page called "front page" so I think that is all set.
**EDIT**
adding the following to functions.php does not work, however I promise it does work as expected if I add is_home_page() to my header.php file
add_action('init', 'my_test');
function my_test(){
if(is_front_page())
echo 'is it?';
} | That may be normal behavior, depending on how exactly you're using `is_front_page` in your functions file.
If you use it inside the global scope of `functions.php`, it will not work.
Why? Because WordPress loads `functions.php` before the `$wp_query object` has been set up with the current page. `is_front_page` is a wrapper around around `$wp_query->is_front_page()`, and if the query hasn't been set up, it's always going to return false (or throw a warning, if you have `wp_debug` on.
From the codex:
> Warning: You can only use conditional query tags after the init action hook in WordPress. For themes, this means the conditional tag will never work properly if you are using it in the body of functions.php, i.e. outside of a function.

Ajax takes 10x as long as it should/could

I have an Ajax request that is taking 1.5 seconds to complete while using the Ajax API.
If I take the same exact code and run it with a custom script(no WordPress) the Ajax request takes merely 150 milliseconds. **This is not an exaggeration**
If you look at the very first comment of < and the conversation that follows you will see that this slowness is caused by the fact that on your request, all of WP is loaded...
I am hoping that there is a solution out there that will make it possible to make Ajax requests while not loading all of WordPress.
What are your experiences with speeding up Ajax requests with WordPress? | Yep, this is nasty issue that to have full WordPress environment you need to spend considerable time loading it.
I've needed much better performance (for very dynamic incremental search feature) for work and what I went with is:

3. Very selectively loaded parts of core, only those needed for the task.

(title changed) | DeluxeBlogTips.com 1) has an article on how to do combined searches in both posts and meta data.

You then merge the arrays and use that to do a query with a `WP_Query` using the `posts__in` argument.
Using tags may be a bit tricky because 1. tags are meant to group posts together and 2. tags and taxonomies involve 3 different tables.

Thanks | If you configure your Theme settings code properly, the Theme will work fine without having any user-defined settings.
The key is to define a defaults array, and anytime you need to output a Theme option, run an `array_merge()` on the defaults array, and the theme's options DB entry. Something like this:
<?php
global $mytheme_options;
$mytheme_options = mytheme_get_options();
function mytheme_get_options() {
// Defaults array, defined elsewhere
$option_defaults = mytheme_get_option_defaults();
// Return parsed args
$options = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'theme_mytheme_options', array() ), $option_defaults );
}

Disable qTranslate by post type in admin + disable per page / post ID on front-end
I'm trying to find a way to selectively disable qTranslate - I would like to be able to show certain static content on my site in 4 languages, but to then only have a single language (and a simplified editor) for posts and also custom post types.
I would also need to disable the output on selective pages in the front-end, so that I can show all the language content on the same page, at the same time.
Is there a way to have the plugin load on demand? | Following snippet will disable it for post_type `post` (modify array below to affect other post_types):
function qtrans_disable()
{
global $typenow, $pagenow;
if (in_array($typenow, array('post')) && // post_types where qTranslate should be disabled
in_array($pagenow, array('post-new.php', 'post.php')))
{
remove_action('admin_head', 'qtrans_adminHeader');
remove_filter('admin_footer', 'qtrans_modifyExcerpt');
remove_filter('the_editor', 'qtrans_modifyRichEditor');
}
}
add_action('current_screen', 'qtrans_disable');
Similarly you can disable it for specific post IDs. However take into account that this **_won't affect_** already existing multi-languaged content. Therefore use it before you enter any. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Problem with comment box
The "Reply" option on the comment box is not working. Please let me know how to make that work?
Note: I am able to reply on comments from admin area (wp->comments->...) but the site visitors are not able to reply.
For example check this: www.linuxstall.com/linux-command-line-tips-that-every-linux-user-should-know/
Click on "Reply" there. You will not be able to reply to that comment. You can add new comment though but "reply" will not work.
Let me know how to solve this issue. Thanks. | Make sure your header.php file has this before the wp_head function:
<?php wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>
**Note:** Some themes may use the comment-reply function in the themes function.php file.
## Caution:
I've scanned your theme and I notice it's using an outdated version of TimThumb which is a serious security flaw. You can install the TimThumb Vulnerability Scanner Plugin to do an auto-check, it also updates TimThumb to the latest version for you. You should fix this immediately.
**UPDATE:**
The question continued via email. The theme worked fine on my site which led me to believe it was a plug-in conflict. I suggested the **standard undershooting steps:**
1. Disable all plug-ins
2. Enable them one at a time to reveal the conflicting plug-in
3. Remove the plug-in and find one to take it's place or attempt to make changes to repair the issue. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Adding session variable and/or cookie based on user-selected input
I am working on a classifieds website that has a custom taxonomy called 'countries'. In the main header menu I have these categories showing in a dropdown list of particular countries people can browse the site by.
How would I basically make it so when someone selects their country, it sets a session variable and or cookie with their location and from there on, every part of the site that shows a listing will use this value in a custom WP_Query to only query posts of that particular country?
So someone comes to the homepage, selects their country and then the page reloads with their chosen country for every page load thereafter. | You can definitly use PHP session variables. Follow this blog post ("Listing 3") for the best way to enable PHP sessions in WordPress. Namely, you need to use this code in your plugin or in your theme's funtions.php:
add_action( 'init', 'session_start', 0 );
After that you can use basic session variables to set the country when the user selects it, and subsequently access the country that the user has selected.

Adding Sub Menu In a theme which Do not have Menu Options
I am a new bee in wordpress but i can code in PHP. I have a free wordpress theme installed on my local host. The theme Do not have an option to add to add menu/sub menu in it. It comes with predefined number of menus. What i want is , can i add sub menu in the theme using some php skills? what i want is, a drop down sub menu when we hover over a menu..
Can i do it? if yes, How can i do it? i searched a lot, got videos and help about sub menus, but all of the help is about the themes which allow sub menu.
**Clarification :-**
i am not an expert, but what i know and what i think is that, it is a wordpress issue, i would need to code in menu.php or function.php to append sub menu to each element of main menu. The theme does not allow sub menu. I need sub menu be created in theme.
i am using Wordpress Christmas theme 1.1 (free) by instantshift | See the answer here: Dropdown Like Twenty-Eleven Theme Question
Be sure to use the updated code toward the bottom of my answer. It should be self explanatory, but if you have any issues let me know and I'll help you out. Be sure to back up your files before changing them in case you break it.
**How to Add the Menu After The Code is in Place** Once the menu is installed you should notice that the custom menu's are now available in Appearance>Menu's. Just type a menu name in the box provided, add some pages and posts, then drag the sub-menu pages below and to the right of the parent menu item and release. Be sure to save the menu when you're finished. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Distribute post content through several divs
I would like to distribute the content in a post through several divs. Much like a word processor distributes content through pages. Any ideas? | You have two options. You can either use a jQuery plugin like columnizer (even if you don't do columns, you can repurpose this plugin to split it how you want), or you can do it with PHP.

Stop Attachment image names from taking top level permalink
I don't know why but images uploaded to my site in posts are getting a top level permalink. So if I upload an image into a post called "Apple" then it gets an attachment page at mysite.com/apple and that is a big problem for me. How can add a path between my top level and image attachment page name? | Don't link to attachment pages anywhere on your site and it won't matter what permalink they have. Search engines only see what you make public.
BTW another thing you can try is to upload only from within the post/page edit screen. That way attachments take up the parent post/page permalink. Sort of like

posts_per_page & pagination conflict
I have a custom query to display my custom post type. `posts_per_page` set to '5'. In admin post per page set to '10' (settings => Reading => Blog pages show at most 10 posts) My template lists 5 posts per page. If I have 15 posts it must be shown in 3 pages, **but on third page I get 404 error.** So my pagination uses the admin settings (10 posts per page). How can I fix it?
global $paged;
query_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'custom_post_type',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'paged' => $paged
));
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_title();
endwhile;
next_posts_link('Next');
previous_posts_link('Prev'); | Pagination is calculated before you get to the template file that runs `query_posts`. The proper way to alter `posts_per_page` conditionally is to use the `pre_get_posts` hook to modify the main query. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a ready-made fix to make the admin bar not obscure content?
I have a situation where the Wordpress 3 Admin Bar (which is cool and I do want to have) obscures some important information on my page.
Before I start fiddling with the CSS myself (which I'm sure will break stuff): Is there an existing patch to change this so the Admin Bar starts "above" the actual page? I realize there may be CSS complications (especially with absolutely positioned elements), but it should be possible. | Upon closer inspection, I found out that Wordpress already _does_ try to move everything that would be obscured further down. The problem is elements that have been positioned using `position: fixed` or `position: absolute`.
What I ended up doing is adding separate CSS rules for those that apply only when the `admin-bar` class is set on the body (which Wordpress does automatically when the bar is visible.) like e.g. so:
/* Normal mode */
ul.sidemenu { top: 4px; left: 4px; ..... etc. etc.}
ul.langmenu { top: 4px; right: 4px; .... etc. etc. }
/* Move elements 28px down when the admin bar is visible */
body.admin-bar ul.sidemenu { top: 32px}
body.admin-bar ul.langmenu { top: 32px} | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Using str_replace on wp-admin
I'm currently having some difficulties getting this below snippet to work. The current outcome is it replaces nothing.
_I realize this particular question could also be solved using`gettext`, but I was looking a general example solving all of my `str_replace` questions at once._
add_filter( 'admin_print_scripts-index.php', 'wpse_replace_version_message' );
/**
* wpse_replace_version_message
*/
function wpse_replace_version_message( $html ) {
$html = str_replace( '<span id=\'wp-version-message\'>You are using <span class="b">WordPress 3.4-alpha-19904</span>', '', $html );
return $html;
} | I haven't tested this code, but I think it will work for you. I just put `add_filter` after the function and chose `preg_replace`:
<?php
/**
* wpse_replace_version_message
*/
function wpse_replace_version_message( $html ) {
$html = preg_replace( '<span id=\'wp-version-message\'>You are using <span class="b">WordPress 3.4-alpha-19904</span>', '', $html );
return $html;

Installing Facebook comment plug in without loosing all previous wordpress comments?
I'm trying to install Facebook comments onto a word press blog, but I do not want to loose all the previous comments. I'm curious if anyone has any ideas how to do this. I've looked at a lot of the various plugins, and haven't been able to find a good solution.
I would like to find a way for the Facebook comment system to be the default comment system, and if someone doesn't have Facebook (or doesn't want to use it) they can use the default wordpress comment system (unless something different exists.) Another option is to use the default wordpress plug in on all previous posts, and moving forward use just the Facebook plug in. I just don't want it to look like all previous posts have no comments when they actually do, if that makes sense.
I'm open to any ideas that you have. Thanks! | From all I could research on this, there's just no way to "merge" existing WP comments onto the Facebook Plugin. So my solution for this problem with a client was to style wordpress comments exactly like fb comments, except that they always appear below all other fb comments.
Then, by default, i leave the fb comment form loaded on the single page, and at the bottom of everything i have this "don't use facebook? comment here" button, calling WordPress' default popup comments window.
This way you can still have both functionalities and still privilege fb comments.
**EDIT:**
I didn't realize you were talking about plugins in general, and not about the actual FB Comments App. My solution was to install it by hand, on the actual `comments.php` instead of looking for a plugin. It turned out to be easier than to find a plugin that would do it exactly as i wanted. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Resizing image into thumbnail, small, medium and large options greyed out
I am working with WordPress 3.3.1 and cannot resize the image I am trying to add to the page as the thumbnail, small, medium and large options are greyed out. the size of the image in question is 276x354.
I have created my own theme and have added `<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>` template tag but to no avail. Does deactivating the visual editor have anything to do with this.
I have not come across this problem before and would appreciate any pointers on what could be causing this problem.
Thanks in advance. nav | it can be caused by multiple reasons , some of which may be :
* theme disabling this function
=> switch to default theme and check function again
* GD library not installed on server
=> check your PHP server settings .
* the image you are inserting is smaller than the thumbnail image size set in Admin/Settings/Media.
=> check your default image sizes and / or upload a bigger image
* some plugin is causing it
=> disable all plugins and check function again.
* Defected image
=> Try another image
* Max file upload restriction
=> In functions.php
@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' ); | stackexchange-wordpress | {
