How to get the path to the current theme?
This code is used to get the directory of the current plugin: `plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ )`.
What should I use to get the directory of the current theme? | I think you have to be a little careful because it depends on what you are trying to do.
If you are using a child theme `get_template_directory();` will still go to the parent theme. However `get_stylesheet_directory();` will go to the current theme, child or parent. Also, both these functions return absolute server paths.
If you wanted a fully formed URI, for links or images, you should use `get_template_directory_uri();` or `get_stylesheet_directory_uri();` using the correct one for the reasons stated.
### Summary
* `get_stylesheet_directory()`: file path to current Theme directory
* `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()`: url path to current Theme directory
* `get_template_directory()`: file path to parent Theme directory
* `get_template_directory_uri()`: url path to parent Theme directory | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Unable to upload data to Media Libary
I uploaded wordpress to my server. Everything works fine so far. But when I try to upload data to my media libary nothing happens. Doesn't matter if I click the "Select Files" or "browser uploader" just nothing happens. I never had those kind of problems before. The permission for the wp-content/uploads/ folder is on 777.

I have found the problem now (for all the following readers). In my template functions.php I've included the latest version of jQuery. So jQuery has been included in the admin panel too. The fact that Wordpress loads jQuery in the admin panel twice must have caused the issue. I solved this by adding the conditional tag is_admin to the function add_action
if(!is_admin()) {
add_action('init', 'load_scripts');

Make view count for pop up post

Clean URL link for page without number
This is probably a really noob question, but I can't figure out how to change it. I've created a page called "Photos" and my url link shows:
What's with the **-7** and how do I remove this so it is just _photo_? | This is because your site already has a post or page (6 in your case) with the slug "photo."
They might be in the trash, or pending as drafts, or whatever ... but WordPress automatically appends number to prevent name conflicts.
So go through your site, and figure out which other pages are trying to use the "photo" slug and change their slug to something else. Then you can re-edit your other page to change its slug to just `photo` rather than `photo-7`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

single page wordpress
I like wordpress as a CMS and I think it's got a lot there with it's vast plugin library however the front end, dare I say it is a bit out of date.
I don't like the system of old going page-to-page and would prefer a single-page site powered by JSON/AJAX. I've used wordpress to make simple client sites but when it comes to anything more impressive, the system of templates which wordpress has is a bit lacking.
I'm used to using Backbone.js and Knockout.js for frameworks and require.js for module loading. I'm looking for a plugin or source reference for effectively removing the wordpress front end and using CRUD/REST and Javascript to build single page dynamic sites.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? | There's nothing stopping you using AJAX for a singlepage website that loads in other pages dynamically rather than going to a whole new page. I would advise you build the site without the AJAX and then add AJAX on top so that everything degrades gracefully should an error occur or if javascript is turned off.
So assuming that you've now got a site that works almost as you intend but without the AJAX, you can easily jsut wrap all your content in IDs that jquery could pick up and request URLs on hyperlinks via js requests instead of letting the browser handle it.
That's tbe answer in its most crudest form.
You can adjust your templates too so that if the request was made by AJAX they only return the relevant content rather than a full blown templated page:
<
Alternatively you can implement arbitrary AJAX callbacks, here's a list of articles on how to write use and extend the AJAX callbacks WordPress provides:

Notice: attribute_escape is deprecated
I have WP_DEBUG set to ON to show errors and notices. Of all notices the one that is bothering me is `Notice: attribute_escape is deprecated since version 2.8!

Regards, John | This proves that the problem isn't core:

Core functions are not throwing those notices. Your Theme is calling the deprecated function(s) somewhere - perhaps in a filer callback for `the_title`.

.sub-menu or .children?

Example:
locate_template( 'php/functions.nav-menu.php', TRUE, TRUE );

How can I externally retrieve a post's custom sized image
I would like to be able to display my last X wordpress posts in the sidebar of my phpBB3 forums.
Since I can't use WP's functions (because trying to use WP's functions into phpBB3 generates conflicts), I have to use a hand-made php script.

Getting links to work the same on development and production
I am working on a website where I am specifying links to pages within my site in other pages.
I am using the same permalink post name structure i.e. < on both development and production and I am using /index.php/sample-post/ to link to a specific blog. This works on production but not on development.
My development machine's wordpress install is under a directory called wordpress and is running off a URL <
On development for some reason when I specify /index.php/sample-post the wordpress part of the site url is absent. This only seems to happen with posts and not pages.
As far as I know /index.php/ refers to the site url which should be < unless I am mistaken. Moreover I would like to know if there is any alternative way to specify absolute URLs in wordpress and get around this problem.

Proper way to include stylesheet for panels

I'll assume:
1. This is a Theme
2. You are properly using an _appearance_ page, via `add_appearance_page()`
3. Your `$menu_slug` is `wpse48416-settings`
The hook, then, is: `admin_print_styles-appearance_page_wpse48416-settings`:
<?php
function wpse48416_admin_style(){
wp_register_style( 'wpse48416_admin_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/admin.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'wpse48416_admin_css' );
}
add_action( 'admin_print_styles-appearance_page_wpse48416-settings', 'wpse48416_admin_style' );
?>
For a Plugin, you simply need to use the correct `{page}` string, depending on which admin menu function you use to register your settings page, e.g. `settings_page` for `add_settings_page()`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

else:

`wp_insert_term` uses `taxonomy_exists` to check if the taxonomy exists. This means if the taxonomy is a _registered_ taxonomy. (It would be odd if `wp_insert_term` only you allowed to add a term to taxonomies with existing terms :) )
To catch an error you can use `is_wp_error`. E.g.
$result = wp_insert_term(...);

Is using amazon cloudfront to stream the media going to make a big difference and what's a good technique for taking uploads in this situation? | The _right_ way is entirely dependent on what limitations you want to place on your users.
WordPress ships with a library called plupload. This is what powers the multi-file uploader in core, and it's available to create your own upload tools as well. The beneficial feature of plupload is the ability to chunk files on the client side before uploading them.
Essentially, plupload lets you split large files up on the client and upload much smaller files to the server. As a result, your server is more responsive (doesn't have to handle very long requests). On the downside, these features are difficult to implement in older browsers (read: Internet Explorer) and require stand-ins (read: Flash or Silverlight).
_Using_ plupload isn't a WordPress question, so if you go this route I encourage you to open new questions on SO. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

But While i insert a post image content starts at the bottom of the image. This can be solved by html.But i need to know any other easy solution. !enter image description here
Thanks. | You need to setup CSS settings for `alignleft` class of your theme:
.alignleft, img.alignleft {
/* ... */
display: inline;
float: left;
/* ... */
}
And you need to add editor stylesheet where the same CSS will be presented. Create `editor-style.css` file in your theme, put content CSS settings there and call `add_editor_style();` from you functions.php file. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

HTML in PHP problem
I have the following code but I always get an error, it's the first time I've tried to merge HTML with PHP:
<?php
if(get_field('post_image'))
{
echo '<img src="'. get_field('post_image') .'" />';
}
else {
echo '<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/images/default.jpg" />';
}
?>
Is there something wrong the blog info area? Is there an easier way to integrate these?
Thanks | You get the error because you try to call php inside php. Try to use this snippet and see what is different:

else {
echo '<img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/images/images/default.jpg" />';
}
?>

Change the name of the 'Default Template'
I am working on a client's site and they need to select a Template whenever they are adding a new page; the "Default Template" is not a valid choice.
I would like to rename "Default Template" to something like "-- Select Template --".
Searching the WordPress codebase I found references to "Default Template" are hard-coded, in wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php (line 588) and wp-admin/includes/class-wp-posts-list-table.php (line 882).

grab neighboring content in a query

Merge two WordPress installations into one, and keep posts separated?
I have two Wordpress installations that I would like to make into one installation, but still keep the posts (and their meta-data) separated. Both installations currently share the same database.
I would like to be able to loop through both blogs, but each on their own page.
I have extracted both databases using the built in export function in WordPress and am now sitting with two .xml files containing the posts from each database.
Now I would like to import these posts into a new clean WordPress installation, BUT how can I keep the separated? I don't want them to get mixed up, because then I can't show them on their own page.. I am thinking about using a custom loop using WP_Query.
Thanks, I hope you understand what it is I want. | When you choose to import them into the new/merged website, you'll have the option to import the author, or to assign a new one to the imported posts. You could assign different authors to each import and use that to separate the content.

Edit Custom Database Tables in Wordpress
I have a site that uses custom database tables to manage info that is inserted by a process completely independent from Wordpress. The data from the table is used in the Wordpress site but it is not manageable through the Admin interface.
I want to make it manageable via the admin backend. What is the basic process for this? In my mind I need to create a link in the Admin sidebar to "Manage Custom Data" and that link opens up a page that permits basic CRUD management of the various rows in the table.
This would be effortlessly simply in vanilla code but I am not familiar with such custom aspects of modifying Wordpress so I am just looking for pointing in the right direction. Give me the big picture, in other words. | Some notes before: This is only _how I'd approach it_ \- I'm not going to step more into detail, because basically it's a list of plugins you'll have to code.
# Build a Back-End page
Use the function `add_menu_page` to add a page. Then build your management tables extending the `WP_List_Table` class:
class WPSE_48824_List_Table extends WP_List_Table
{
// do stuff
}
// Use it:
$list_table = new WPSE_48824_List_Table();
$list_table->display();
# Handling the DB
Basically you're going to have a lot of DB requests. Use the `$wpdb` object/Class.
Don't forget to `$wpdb->prepare()` your data before inserting it.
Also make use of `$wpdb->prefix` instead of hardcoding it.

Deleting terms from the Wordpress wp terms table
what wp function do i use so that I can delete a term without worrying about the related tables such as wp term relationships and wp term taxonomy?
Also if a post has a relationship to the deleted term and it's the only relationship to any term does wp take care of the necessary and it's associated back to uncategorized ? What if there is no uncategorized term neither? | Use this: `wp_delete_term`
Edit: Did a little dig around. With custom taxonomies, if you delete the term, the posts will not be assigned a new one. With 'category', whichever you set as the default from 'Writing Settings' will be assigned to the post. Besides, if you want to set the default category from code, use `update_option('default_category', '<category name>')`. There's a third argument with `wp_delete_term`, using which you can force a default category, but I really couldn't find how to use this argument.

Multiple domains with different child themes on one installation?
Is it possible to have multiple domains (each with unique child theme) on one installation?
I'm aware of Wordpress's new feature called "Network", which allows you to have one installation for multiple sites.

Why might a comment turn red on approval?
Weird question here, but I'm hoping somebody is familiar with the issue.
When an admin clicked on the "approve" link under a comment on the comment moderation screen, the entire comment row turned red. The comment did publish--but the "approve" link was still appearing in the list of actions links (when it should have changed to "unapprove"). After refreshing the comments moderation page, everything went back to normal.
Not exactly an important issue. But I need to be able to explain why it happened, and I can't reproduce it (though I believe it happened--she sent me a screenshot). Any thoughts? Anybody seen this before? Is this maybe a common UI convention in WP when AJAX calls fail? | Got it figured, so I'm closing this question out.
Here was the problem: on comment approval, I had some custom stuff hooked, and this custom stuff was throwing an error. This error was being included as part of the comment approval's AJAX response.
It turs out that on listings pages in the admin, if WordPress encounters an unknown AJAX error , it deliberately turns the offending row red. You can see the color being explicitly set in wp-includes/js/wp-lists.dev.js in the function "ajaxDim". | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What are the benefits of using wp_enqueue_script?
Is there any real benefit to using wp_enqueue_script on small self-managed sites? For instance, Modernizr, why enqueue it through a function rather than call it directly inside the document head?
I can see the benefit on large sites, where you may move around directories or have multiple people mucking around in the files, or in a publicly available theme with numerous unknowns, but what's the benefit on a small site like a personal blog that never - or rarely - changes and has a single user? It just seems like extra lines of code in that case. | 1. **Are you using a Theme that you control?**
If not, then every time the Theme updates, you'll lose your modifications to the header. Or else, you'll have to fork the Theme, or maintain/backport your changes every time the Theme updates.
2. **Do you only use Plugins under your control?**
If not, then you'll have to check for script conflicts every time you activate or update a Plugin that uses a script.
3. **Are you using a core-bundled script?**
If so, then you'll have to check for core script conflicts every time you update core, as well as every time you update a Plugin that enqueues a core-bundled script.
4. **Do you use a caching Plugin?**
If so, then you lose some or all of the benefits of script concatenation/minimizing/caching, since your script is hard-coded in the document head rather than enqueued. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it possible to remove the `Visual` \ `HTML` tabs from `wp_editor` and display only the TinyMCE editor?
Basically, right now, I'm using `wp_editor` to display the smallest possible TinyMCE editor I can - only one button is needed, italics.
!Current TinyMCE instnace
What I'd like to do is make that smaller by removing the `Visual` \ `HTML` tabs. Our authors won't ever need the HTML editor and the custom buttons I'm creating will only be accessible from the visual editor.
**NOTE:** For reasons found here, I can't use the `teeny` argument of `wp_editor`.
Thanks in advance, | Just set 'quicktags' parameter of the settings array to false.

Need idea: custom post type and custom meta
I'm working for a WordPress Plugin. The plugins is for library management, for my university. I created custom post types with taxonomies for keeping books information stored. Now I want to create another post type which will keep records for books and and users. For instance, I'll create new post type called "Issue". There should have three fields. One would be title. Another two will be dropdown, one will show all book (I've already created custom post type called books, I want to use those here, automatically) lists as dropdown. Another dropdown field will show list of students (for this I've created a new user role called student, I want to use those user who are registered as student).
So my questions are
1. How can I show all users (selected role) as dropdown in custom meta box and
2. How can I show all books (Custom post type I created) as dropdown in custom meta box
How can these be done? I can code, need instruction ;) | * To get the users who have the role called student, use the `WP_User_Query` object
* For storing the fields, use post meta just as you would on normal posts, remember to declare that your custom post type supports custom fields when being registered
* For your dropdown/etc you will need to register metaboxes
More info on `WP_User_Query`.
For how to add metaboxes see the Codex entry and examples for this function. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

integrating external php library into wordpress- the right way
If I were to load a custom library into wordpress, what would be the best place to add it?
Since there are a bunch of global vars defined at the top of the library, I would not want that to be done thru a hook where I'm forced to use a wrapper function whereby my library globals will be treated as local to that function.
My library starts with
ob_start() // I'm not sure how this would effect WP. So I'm not too big on this.
session_start(); // I do need this though.
This should make any wordpress page to be able to use PHP sessions, right? ( I'm assuming wordpress no internal code that kills/rejects session usage. )
If I put my library into a page such as mylibrary.php, how do I make sure that it gets included into wordpress ( all pages, cats, template files across themes ) and it will remain included even if I were to switch themes or deploy wordpress updates? | You might want to look into creating a MU (Must Use) plugin, see Wordpress Codex. Within this file, you can include your library (using `require`) or you could just tweak your library file a bit and use it directly as the MU plugin. The `session_start()` and `ob_start()` functions worked for me with ever-so-brief testing, but your mileage may vary so test test test :) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to consolidate multiple static page templates into one dynamic one?
I have a group of themes that a client needs consolidated into one. Everything is fairly straight forward, except each theme has theme-specific page templates. Instead of pooling all the template files together in the new master theme, how can I reduce them down to one dynamic template that displays differently depending on a chosen theme option?
When searching myself I came across the template_include filter, which looks like it could be used to override the template that is used, but I'm not sure this is the right solution or how it would be implemented in this case.
Another idea I have would be to just use conditional includes inside the "master" template.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. | Personally, I build everything within index.php of each template. I then do conditional checks.
Example:
if(is_front_page()){
// Home page layout
} elseif(is_page()){
// General page layout
if(is_page('contact')){
// Page layout specific to the contact page
} elseif(is_page('about')){
// Page layout specific to the about page
}
}

Show different theme for admin?
I'd like to test some theme changes on my live site, but I obviously don't want regular users seeing any errors that may arise from it. I'd like to just duplicate my theme folder and if I'm logged in as admin, then that theme is shown to me, otherwise, the old theme is shown to my users.
Is there a plugin to do this? | I just wrote this quick plugin and it seems to work. Let me know if there is a better way.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Theme Switch if Admin
Description: Display different theme to user if logged in as admin
Author: Kyle Barber
*/
add_filter('template', 'change_theme');
add_filter('option_template', 'change_theme');
add_filter('option_stylesheet', 'change_theme');
function change_theme($theme) {
if ( current_user_can('manage_options') ) {
$theme = 'twentyeleven';
}
return $theme;

How long to keep old domain for 301 redirects after moving WordPress?
I'm looking into moving my WordPress blog from an old domain to another domain that I own. The old domain is getting expensive at $25/year and I have to renew in a month. I had the old domain for 15 years but it no longer serves it's purpose as a standalone blog.
I have several options for handling this:
1. Leave it as is and keep paying the renewal registration.
2. I can do the move right now and let the registration expire next month.
3. Make the move and renew for another year before letting the registration expire.
How long do I need to keep the old domain up for the 301 redirects to be effective before I let the registration expire? | I found my answer on Google's Moving Your Site page.
> To prevent confusion, it's best to retain control of your old site domain for at least 180 days.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, my WordPress installation broke down. I did a fresh install at the other domain, imported my WordPress database and files, and set up the 301 redirect. Everything is working smoothly. I'll be keeping the old domain for another year before letting it expire.
Thanks for the other answers! | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Strip the + symbol from the_search_query
When using the_search_query to display search result on my site, the spaces between words are displayed with a **+** symbol.
So if a visitor searches for "wordpress plugins" the_search_query output in search.php returns
wordpress+plugins
How can I remove the + symbol, and/or replace it with non-break space entity, like so .....
wordpress plugins
or
wordpress plugins
I tried this approach but it is not working .....
<?php
$string = the_search_query();
$res = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z]/", "", $string);
echo $res;
?> | Personally, when I do things like this I use `str_replace()` [Link]
Using your above example it would be implemented like so:
<?php
$string = the_search_query();
$res = str_replace("+", " ", $string);
echo $res;
?>
That will replace any `+` with a space.
Or if you want the ` ` use this:
<?php
$string = the_search_query();
$res = str_replace("+", " ", $string);
echo $res;
?>

Is wordpress 3.3.1 compatible with PHP Version 5.2.17?
Exactly what it says on the tin, I am having a few problems with my site after a server upgrade and some of it has started to trip out.
A lot of my code has also stopped working, despite it doing nothing fancy, mostly just loops and ifs just wondering if because a lot of it is dependant on WP functions. | Yes, it is. From the requirements page:
> * PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
> * MySQL version 5.0 or greater

How can I post Facebook fan page status updates to my WordPress blog?
Is it possible to get an RSS feed of Facebook status updates from a Page rather than a Profile? I want to use the feed in WP's RSS feed widget.
It's easy to pull statuses from a profile page. I did this using an RSS feed widget. I tried doing the same thing for a fan page, but Facebook forces me to switch contexts (from viewing as the a page to viewing as myself), after which I'm redirected to my own status feed.
There is an RSS for notifications, but I want it for statuses, not notifications. | Pretty sure the Facebook fan page RSS feed URL is like this:
The fan page ID is the string of numbers at the end of the URL when viewing the page, for example, Jon Stewart's fan page id is 193859733506:
So you can do your normal RSS feed solution which takes entries and uses them in your Wordpress site, and use that URL format above for the fan page you are after. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
