Taxonomy archive with same slug as custom post type?
My head hurts...
Here is what I have:
Custom post type: Our People, slug => **our-people**
Taxonomy: Job Title, slug => **job-title**
I have an archive page for the Our People CPT at **domain.com/our-people**.
I can easily have archive pages for the Job Title taxonomy terms at **domain.com/job-title/{term}**
But I would like to have archive pages for the Job Title taxonomy terms under the our-people slug.
Example:
**domain.com/our-people/managers
domain.com/our-people/crew**
Where managers and crew are terms of the taxonomy Job Title, which is attached the the CPT Our People.
Is there a way to do this? Setting the taxonomy and the CPT to the same slug obviously didn't work.
Thank you. | You have two avenues:
* Hardcode rewrite rules for those specific URLs
* Abandon your quest and design a new URL structure
What your asking for cannot be automated efficiently because it would mean 2 rewrite rules that are the same, but are mapped on to different things. The result being that either the post type slug would take precedence, or the job would take precedence, but only one.
E.g. say we had the url our-people/example, is referring to the people 'example' or the job 'example'? Either WordPress will find the person named example, and 404 if it can't ( despite there being one under job. Or it will do it the other way around
# My Recommendation
Change your URL structure to be less confusing and make more sense by nesting them:
example.com/our-people/johnsmith
example.com/our-people/jobs/managers
do this by setting the rewrite value when you register your jobs taxonomy ( it's okay to use a / ) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Meta boxes not displayed, data isn't being saved
As the title says, I have a problem in functions.php (I assume it's in there) which causes custom fields to not be displayed on the new/edit post page, and when I add the meta box myself and save the data by updating the post, the data disappears.
However, if I save the data by clicking the Update button for the meta box itself (and do not click the post Update button), the data is saved and displayed properly.
I have posted the code in functions.php here. | This has to do with auto saving. You need to check the following before saving your fields:

What log files does a WordPress installation write to?

Automatically decrease font size for long words
I am working on an e-commerce site in which post and product titles will need to be displayed in fairly narrow divs. I would like to set a specific font size for words which can naturally fit in the space provided, while instructing words which are too long for the parent object's width to scale down automatically, thus avoiding the need for hyphenation. It seems someone must have thought of a way to do this before but I have been unable to find any solutions on the web. The closest I've found to an answer is the BigText jQuery plugin, but this is really designed for situations where you can predict your own line breaks. Since my titles will be queried by Wordpress and inserted altogether into divs, this plugin would shrink my texts until every word could fit on one line, which is not what I'm looking for. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks so much your time! Best, Jonathan | I’ve done something similar taking the simple approach of adding a CSS class to titles based on their character count. That CSS class then decreases `letter-spacing` and/or `font-size`.
// Count the characters, taking Unicode into account
$chars = mb_strlen($post->post_title);
// For every 10 characters after the first 20, add a size
$size = max(0, ceil(($chars - 20) / 10));
// Generate the CSS class: x-long, xx-long, etc.
$class = ($size) ? str_repeat('x', $size).'-long' : '';
// Output
echo '<h1 class="'.$class.'">'.esc_html($post->post_title).'</h1>';
This approach is quite naive, though. It doesn’t take into account the actual character width as rendered by the font. For that, you’d need a JavaScript approach. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

which action to hook to in order to perform post-publish action

How to prefix post permalinks with /blog/ - without affecting custom post types?
I have several custom post types, which are properly structured as `/%post_type%/%postname%/`, however I wish to have the same effect for regular blog entries: `/blog/%postname%/`

Why this plugin doesn't work with media upload page?

Ajax for non-logged-in users

How to add class on Widget Title

How to create custom LOGIN and REGISTRATION forms?
I have developed a theme for Wordpress and I need to customize login and registrations form. At the moment, as usual, the login and the registration URL are:

Thank you! | ## 1\. _Can_ you do it without a plugin?
Certainly. Anything a plugin can do, you can obviously also implement yourself.
## 1.1 _Should_ you do it without a plugin?
No. This is clearly plugin-territory. Even if you want to write the plugin yourself, this would be a better fit for a custom plugin than to incorporate it in your theme. That's a matter of preference and opinion though - of course it _can_ be done within your theme also.
For the sake of completeness, let me mention Jeff Farthing's theme-my-login. It's a well written, powerful plugin that has been developed for years.

Compare post-IDs within WP_Query? (Less than / Greater than)

Organize WordPress site, so it can maintain with huge database
## Intro:
Hello, I am making coupon website and I need an advise. So, the structure at the moment is like this:
1. Coupons ( posts )
2. Categories of coupons ( categories )
3. Shops ( tags )
In the near future my database will consist of approximately ~5000 shops ( tags ) and ~20000 coupons ( posts ) and also ~10000 of categories of coupons ( cats ). I will also add deals to website soon, so this might be also taken into consideration.
## The question:
What is the best way to organize such website, so it will work flawlessly after such huge amount of entries in database? Should I use **Custom Post Types** for any of my taxonomies?
Thank you | Custom Post Types are more convinient and easy to implement, so I suggest you use them. Also the Posts will be ready to make a blog section in the future.
About optimizing.
1. Use some caching plugin, there are lots of them in Wordpress Plugin Directory.
2. Turn off the revisions to save database size: add `define ('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 0);` into wp-config.php
3. And try to use as less plugins as possible. Only what you really need. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Load different template file when condition met?

Remove wpautop from shortcode content / remove whitespace in buffering
I am using the Mailchimp plugin, and it has a shortcode that uses output buffering to grab its widget's code and spit it out in the content.
However, the widget code has plenty of white space, so the_content filters are throwing useless linebreaks (like after hidden inputs) and empty `p` tags everywhere... rendering it unusable.

How to enqueue scripts depending on post formats?

I also tried adding an action for video and audio post formats but the action runs too late for queuing scripts.

// enqueue a script

Post AND page parameter for WP function
Is there no post AND page parameter for WordPress functions? So would I have to create a custom post type to define post AND page?
For example, `add_meta_box( $id, $title, $callback, $post_type, $context, $priority, $callback_args );` you need to define what type of `$post_type`. The options are 'post', 'page', 'link' or a custom post type.
I'd like to define a meta box that applies to both the post and page. Surely copying and pasting the function and then replacing the $post_type with post and page would work but it wouldn't be very efficient.
I know that `is_singular()` defines both a post and page, but that is for a query.
Any ideas? I'd prefer not to install another plugin. One reason I am creating a meta box is so that I _don't_ have to install a plugin. | There's no reason you can't call add_meta_box() twice in a row and use the same function to display it both times; just change the `$post_type` parameter.

How to cause the Wordpress web interface to update via FTP

( **Note:** Certainly using a regular FTP client would work, but I'd like to keep the client away from as many additional steps and applications as possible.

A problem can occur if _your_ user account is not in the same group as `www-data` for example you FTP'd a new image to your wordpress folder and it's permissions were wrong, then it may not show up on your website.

WPML - how to translate user profile fields with icl_t()?
Existing code somewhere in a template or shortcode handler, display user profile biography:
<?php if ( $user ) : $bio = get_the_author_meta( 'description', $user->ID ); ?>
<div class="esineja_info">
<span class="bio"><?php echo $bio; ?></span>

$bio = icl_t( 'theme', 'bio-' . $nimi, get_the_author_meta( 'description', $user->ID ) );

This problem-specific thread is also quite vague on how exactly icl_t() is supposed to be used. | It turns out, my code above is indeed all that is needed. Apparently the mistake I made was that I didn't load the translated version of the page in the frontend at least once, so icl_t() didn't auto-register the strings.
Also keep in mind, if you're looking at correct string count in String Translation context names, you need to put "theme blah" as your context if you want icl_t() strings to get unified with the rest of the theme strings. Just icl_t( "blah", ... ) will create a new context named exactly "blah". | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Debugging WordPress themes with Xdebug, real time html output
Hi I'm using XDEBUG to debug my WordPress code, is it possible to view the page building up in the browser while debugging?

Ideally I'd like to see the page building up bit by bit as I debug through the theme's code. | Just an Idea - I did not test this.
Worth a try would be to play around with your PHP settings:
; Implicit flush tells PHP to tell the output layer to flush itself
; automatically after every output block. This is equivalent to calling the PHP
; function flush() after each and every call to print() or echo() and each and
; every HTML block. Turning this option on has serious performance implications
; and is generally recommended for debugging purposes only.
implicit_flush = On
I would also recommend to disable gzip and look for other output_buffering related options in php.ini.
Then you should be able to set break-points in the different rendering stages of your theme. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

If I use Apache & ngnix together will I have fewer problems?

Multiple users editting widgets
I have just completed a website using WordPress as a CMS, the site has 6 people administering the content and in the couple of days before launch all 6 were updating the content.
We found that if multiple people were editing/creating widgets at the same time this would save over and some of the widgets were deleted. I'm assuming this is because widgets are stored in a serialized array when the user is pressing save its adding an array which doesn't contain the widget the another user is editing.
Obviously this can be a bit frustrating for the users so I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there was a way to only allow one user to edit widgets at a time? | I have never personally had this problem, but to the best of my knowledge WordPress does not have the system to support multiple users managing widgets at the same time, at least not widgets in the same widget areas.
Is it a problem to just have one user at a time manage the widgets? I can't really imagine that being a problem, as 99% of the time you set widgets once and don't change them for extended periods of time.
If the site requires that widgets be frequently (more than once per day), then I would seriously consider improving the site infrastructure to NOT require this. Use posts, pages, or custom post types to hold the content and widgets to display the items. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I display widget in a Page or Post?
I am trying to display some widgets (Quora & Goodreads) widgets inside Page or Post. How do I do that without displaying it inside Sidebar? | There's no easy way to do this. Many plugins that provide a widget _also_ provide a shortcode (text in brackets that you can put in your post like this: [quora]). I have no idea whether either of your widgets also come with shortcodes.
Though I've never used them, there are some plugins that claim to help you do this. (Like this one.)
If there isn't a shortcode and you can't find a plugin, your last option is to write your own shortcode that runs `the_widget()`. You'll need some low- to moderate-PHP ability to do this. I've never tried it, so I can't say whether there are any caveats to this solution. With a quick google search, I was able to find this tutorial for making a shortcode that runs `the_widget()`.

delay function on publish?

BUT, if I add `sleep(20)` inside the `custom_function` it delays the post itself. What I want is the post to be published, and THEN run this function after x seconds.
Thanks! | `publish_post` is called after post is published! So, you already got covered. but if you want to run an action after a certain time of the post is published, it's better to write a cron job.
For example, if you need to run the function after 5 minutes of the post is published, you need to register a single cron event that will be triggered after 5 minutes from now (post publish)
add_action('publish_post', 'register_single_cron');
function register_single_cron($id){
wp_schedule_single_event(tim() + 300, 'custom_function');

//your logic goes here

i've been searching for a while now on how to show Cubepoints Points and Ranks in bbPress replies right below the user avatar and name...
Found the template file where to show the info, tho not sure this would be the correct one to grab the reply-author info, the "loop-single-reply.php" and just bellow bbp_reply_author_link(); i'm placing the output (correct me if i'm wrong), and i discovered the functions to calculate and display Cubepoints and Ranks (cp_displayPoints($user->ID); & cp_module_ranks_getRank($user->ID)), correct me if i'm wrong again ^^
The question is, since working with bbpress is way more harder then wordpress due to the lack of easy to reach documentation (like wordpress codex), how can I get the reply-author ID and display the Cubepoints and Ranks, am I in the right way? what am I missing? thank you in advance! | I found the solution of the problem, it goes like this:
<td class="bbp-reply-author">
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_details' ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />' ) ); ?>
<!--Ranking -->
<div class="bbp-ranking">
<span class="bbp-rank"><?php echo cp_module_ranks_getRank(bbp_get_reply_author_id()); ?></span><br />
<span class="bbp-points"><?php echo 'Reputação: '.cp_getPoints(bbp_get_reply_author_id()); ?></span>
</div>
<!--Ranking -->
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>
</td>

Random image from tag/custom type on sidebar
How would I pull a single random image from custom post type "athletes" and the custom image field "athletethumbnail" to be displayed in my sidebar? (I have PHP enabled for my text widget on sidebar.) | If I get your question right, as you mention Tag in the title, but not in the Content - and also mention a _random image_ but then it's not a library image but a custom field value...
So, the following code will grab 1 random custom post type that has a custom field value that's not empty. And it's a mix of `get_posts`, `get_post_meta` and `Custom_Field_Parameters`:
$args = array(
'numberposts' => 1,
'orderby' => 'rand',
'post_type' => 'athletes',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'athletethumbnail',
'value' => '',
'compare' => '!=' /* will not grab posts with empty Custom Field */
)
)
);
$show_albums = get_posts ( $args );
echo get_post_meta($show_albums[0]->ID,'athletethumbnail',true); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Insert attachments from custom uploader into post (regular uploader style)
I recently started using this nifty meta box framework: <
I really like the plupload meta box, however, I need to be able to add the uploaded image into the editor rather than just attaching it to the post.
Any idea how I can create a button that inserts the correct attachment into the editor like it works with the regular "insert into post" button when uploading using the regular uploader? | You can add content to the editor via javascript:

URL rewrite with add_rewrite_rule and attachment_id
I'm trying to add a rewrite rule to make this:
mysite/?attachment_id=106
look like this:
mysite/series/106
I've looked everywhere in this site and others and it's very confusing because there are lots of different ways to do it. I've tried editing the `functions.php` file in my themes folder, adding this at the beginning of the file:
add_rewrite_rule('series/([^/]+)/?$', 'index.php?attachment_id=$matches[1]', 'top');
And the latest one I've tried:
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'wpa56345_query_vars' );
function wpa56345_query_vars( $query_vars ){
$query_vars[] = 'attachment_id';
return $query_vars;
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpa56345_rewrites' );
function wpa56345_rewrites(){
add_rewrite_rule(
'series/(\d+)/?$',
'index.php?attachment_id=$matches[1]',
'top'
);
} | Place the code suggested below in _functions.php_ of your desired theme, it worked for me with WP 3.4: | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Which filters or actions to use after a media upload and delete?
When a media (image) is uploaded and the subsequent images are created (all the different sizes), I would like to perform a few actions. It is simple and I basically need only the new attachment ID, that would be enough.
Same during deletion: before or after deletion, I need to know which attachment ID is concerned.
Thanks for your help :) | i guess you are looking for this
`add_attachment`
and
`delete_attachment`
example:
add_action('add_attachment', 'attachment_manipulation');
function attachment_manipulation($id)
{
if(wp_attachment_is_image($id)){
//do your own tasks
}

Save post meta foreach loop
My brain has fallen over. How do I save this post data? Building some key-value pairs in the form.
for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++) {
$saved = $meta[$i];
//print_r($saved);
//echo $saved['key'];
echo '<p>';
echo '<label for="meta_k_'.$i.'">Key</label> ', '<input id="meta_k_'.$i.'" type="text" name="_meta['.$i.'][key]" value="'.$saved['key'].'" /> ';
echo '<label for="meta_v_'.$i.'">Value</label> ', '<input id="meta_v_'.$i.'" type="text" name="_meta['.$i.'][value]" value="'.$saved['value'].'" />';
echo '</p>';
}
How do I save them???
foreach ($_POST['_meta'] as $key => $value) {
update_post_meta($post_id, $key, $value);
} | This should be work:
foreach ($_POST['_meta'] as $value) {
update_post_meta($post_id, $value['key'], $value['value']);

Limit Media Library to Given Folder
I have made a plugin that uses the Media Library to allow users to upload files to a specific directory - using the `upload_dir` filter.
I would like to know if there is a way (i.e. a filter) I can use to limit the media library to displaying only files contained within my custom folder?
If possible, I want the user to be able to choose only files that have been uploaded to the custom folder when interacting with the Media Library instantiated by my plugin. | A solution that works for me is to add a clause to the Wordpress query when the media library is being displayed.
From browsing my Wordpress database I noticed that the full path to `wp_posts.post_type = 'attachment'` is stored in the `wp_posts.guid` column.
add_filter('posts_where', 'limitMediaLibraryItems_56456', 10, 2 );
function limitMediaLibraryItems_56456($where, &$wp_query) {
global $pagenow, $wpdb;
// Do not modify $where for non-media library requests
if ($pagenow !== 'media-upload.php') {
return $where;
}
$where .= " AND {$wpdb->posts}.guid LIKE '%my-path-segment%'";
return $where;

Post not found when filtered by category ID
On my home page I am trying to filter by a category type and limit it to one post; but I keep getting "no posts found". Here is my following code:
<?php query_posts('cat=34&showposts=1'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> | Use `post_per_page` instead. Like this:
query_posts( 'cat=34&posts_per_page=5' );

How to display html in a shortcode
How do you display or process HTML in a wrapped shortcode ?
`[myshortcode]<div class="map"></div>[/myshortcode]`
my shortcode code is
function myshortcode_sc($atts, $content = null) {
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'col' => 'left',
), $atts ) );
$output = '<div class="span' . esc_attr($col) . '">' . do_shortcode($content) . '</div>';
return $output;
}
add_shortcode("myshortcode", "myshortcode_sc");
is there another function at the return to allow for $output to process the HTML and not just display it as text ? | Maybe try replacing
. do_shortcode($content) .
with `.$content.` ?

What is the p parameter in a get_posts() parameter array?
I've seen code that looks like this:
`get_posts(array('p' => $thumbnail_id, 'post_type' => 'attachment'));`
What is the definition of the p parameter and is it documented anywhere? I can't find anything about it on the Codex page for get_posts(). | 'p' is for querying a post, as opposed to 'page_id' for querying a page.
It's documented in the WP_Query codex | stackexchange-wordpress | {
