How to create custom URLs for Custom Post Type sub sections?
Not sure how to ask this, because I'm not exactly sure what I'm asking.
I'm looking to use custom URLs (using rewrite rules maybe?) to create 'tabs' for a Custom Post Type. In the past I've used things like a GET session variable to determine what tab the user is on, or JavaScript. I would really prefer to keep it on it's own logical page with a URL to reflect that.
A very basic look of the tabs would be:
`HOME | UPDATES | CONTRIBUTORS | WALL`
For example if we're on the CPT of Charity's sub page of Updates: ` | Create an end point for the permalinks. See example.
Then you can even be more granular and use `updates/2012`, `updates/2013` and so on.

Retrieve featured image
We are building an Android app based on a Wordpress mysql database. We were able to get most of the information from the datase to display on to the app. Now all we have left is to retrieve the posts featured image.
Is there a way to have the featured image output a URL?
Thanks! | The featured image attachment id is stored in the post_meta table, with the meta_key `_thumbnail_id`.
Use that post id to find the post meta with meta_key `_wp_attachment_metadata`.
The value of that is a serialized array with keys `thumb`, `file`, `width`, `height`, `sizes` (an array), and `image_meta` (an array).
The `file` value is relative to the uploads directory for the WP install, and points to the original full-sized image. You should be able to calculate the URL from that.
`sizes` has an image size as its key (e.g., 'small', 'medium', 'large', 'thumbnail'), and the value is an array with keys `file`, `height`, and `width`.
`image_meta` will contain things like exif/iptc image metadata from the image itself. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

displaying posts from a custom post type tags
I created a custom post called projects and a taxonomy called tagportfolio , in the admin panel i created 3 tags under this taxonomy to filter my projects
portfolio page
the three tags is
1. Urban planning and upgrading
2. Urban Design and Landscape
3. Architecture and Interior Design
under each tag there is a posts , now i need to know how i can display the posts that under each tag for example: posts under tag Architecture and Interior Design in a page template

get_posts with meta_compare='LIKE' not working
I am using the following code:
$tolettpe = "Sale";//default
if($_REQUEST['tolettype']) $tolettpe = $_REQUEST['tolettype'];
else if($_REQUEST['srch_type']) $tolettpe = $_REQUEST['srch_type'];

);

If I use the exact value and no meta_compare, it works.
Any ideas how to make this work? | `meta_compare` Possible values are `'!=', '>', '>=', '<', or '<='`. Default value is `'='`
if you want to use `LIKE` you need to create a meta_query eg:
$tolettpe = "Sale";//default

else if($_REQUEST['srch_type']) $tolettpe = $_REQUEST['srch_type'];
$args = array(

'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'property_type',
'value' => $tolettpe,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
$posts = get_posts($args);
The generated query puts the search term between two % signs, so there is no need to add any in the code. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Plugin that integrates Google Storage with WordPress?

Best architecture for multiple websites
Im currently administering close to 20 separate wordpress installs and now Im at the point where I need to work out a plan going forward. As a sole operator, I just haven't had the chance to invest in this prior to now.
What Im considering is two approaches.
1) Run Wordpress in a Multi-site configuration. In this setup, Im assuming and from what I have read I will have one install on WP, plugins themes and each site that comes in uses the same database. That way I can simply update the one version of core and go from there.
2) Keep everything separate and get up to speed with WPRemote or ManageWP and manage the sites that way. This to me would fit best into my current situation and I would be able to slot it straight in.
I was hoping to get some advice form others that have gone down either route and how they found the practicality of each.
Thanks in advance. | As awesome as MultiSite can be, it's certainly not _always_ the answer to this situation.
A first glance, you have the advantages of:
1. One install (easy to upgrade)
2. Easy to manage (with the help of the single sign-on plugin)
3. Plugins & themes are shared - again, easy to maintain & upgrade
But in retrospect, these can equally work against you - since everything's "in it together", upgrading the core/plugins/themes might break individual sites (depending on their setup). There's no isolation like you would have with individual installs.
If you opted for a manager like WPRemote, you get the advantages of MultiSite's "central hub", but with the benefit of granular control.
Also weigh up the fact you'll need to migrate all your existing sites initially, which I'd argue would require some time to set up & ensure everything is working smoothly.
**TL;DR:** Go for WPRemote (or similar). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

how to server over http and https with one installation

Any configuration is required when you want your website or its backend (`wp-admin` / `wp-login.php`) to load ONLY via SSL (HTTPS).
But there's at least one thing you should take care of:

remove_query_arg() on rewrite rule
I'm attempting to add a `Back to Search Results` link which in essence will simply link back to the starting search page - for example `/?s=test`.

But, when you visit a second page of search results and you use anything but the default permalink structure - it is not removing `page/2` which is what the default pagination structure outputs.

In doing so will this eliminate style conflicts that I am currently experiencing?I am have not implemented an editor stylesheet so I am noticing that it is becoming very difficult to separate surrounding website styles and editor styles. What's the best way to implement this? | The WordPress editor shouldn't be pulling in the themes CSS files unless you have a file that is named `editor-style.css`. You can either use the editor-style.css and simply place it in your themes root directory, add certain styles to the stylesheet (not all the theme div and id tags will apply to the WordPress Editor).
Another way to do it is to use `wp_enqueue_script` to enqueue a CSS file with whatever name you wish, or in a different file location other than the themes root directory. Some authors use this method to minimize the amount of files that live in the theme root directory.
If your theme is incorrectly registering or enqueueing a script it can cause the files to be loaded into the WordPress admin area. Let me know what your theme is using for the editor stylesheet if this doesn't help so I can give you better assistance. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Storing a password for use with a Wordpress plugin
I'm writing my first Wordpress plugin which will be a newsletter-type plugin. It'll continuously add members who fill out a form to a database table that keeps track of the following:
* cell ID
* Time
* MemberName
* MemberEmail.
When I send out the email to the newsletter participants, I want to send it using SMTP. Is there a way I can store a **single** `$smtp_password` in one of my plugin's php files without having it be available to the public? Or maybe store the password in the SQL database, but I don't think creating an entirely new table for it would be necessary, right?
How would you store a simple password? | If you store the password in the PHP, it will be accessible to anyone who has the PHP (i.e. anyone who has the plugin). If you store it in the database, it will be accessible to anyone who has direct access to the database (i.e. anyone who installs the plugin and knows how to use phpMyAdmin).
However, to store a simple password for a plugin, I'd use a WordPress option. This allows you to easily retrieve the password with code and makes things very flexible. It also allows you to let the user change the stored password if necessary.
// Retrieving the password
$smtp_password = get_option( 'my_smtp_password' );
// Setting the password
update_option( 'my_smtp_password', $new_smtp_password );
Just don't use your regular email password for this. I recommend you set up a dedicated email account for your site to send messages through and keep both the name and password separate from anything you use personally. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Any ideas? | You could convert the string to an array using the php explode function. So if you used a comma as your delimiter, you could pass the string `'153,154,87'` and that would and then use the explode function to convert it to

Is there a way that I can custom sort the results? Ideally I could pass an array of category ID's in the desired order, but obviously I'll have to dig a bit deeper to get this sorted. | There is an unused column, term_order, in the wp_term_relationships table that you can use to assign a custom order to the terms within your taxonomy. The order is set at 0 by default and it will take a custom query to get the order back and another solution to set the order.
Example query:
function wpse_order_taxes() {
global $wpdb;
$results = $wpdb->get_results ( "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->terms t inner join $wpdb->term_taxonomy tt on t.term_id = tt.term_id WHERE taxonomy = 'category' ORDER BY term_order ASC LIMIT 0, 10" );
$categories = array();
foreach ( $results as $cat ) {
array_push( $categories, $cat->slug );

Yoast SEO: title tags are repeating my website name and slogan

Add mark-up after/before link in wp_list_categories

Show different number of posts on second page of category

Allowing periods in usernames

How to deal with small scale comment spam on small commercial sites?
When I've built a few sites for small businesses in the past, I've historically been able to do without anti-spam measures.

I would call it good enough, except the content of these comments is often about Viagra, other drugs, russian porn sites, etc., and I feel like it reflects badly on me having this stuff appear in my clients mailbox, moderation queue, etc..
Akismet could undoubtedly help out with a lot of this stuff - but I can't quite justify the price tag.
I try to avoid excessive plugins or bloat, and I feel like there should be a simple solution for this - either a very lean plugin, or a code snippet somewhere.

Should I enter my post slugs in Greek? The pages then appear with URLs ending in %20%32%33 etc instead of Greek.
Does this affect the page URLs? Will they be properly indexed by Google? Or should I use latin characters instead?
Thanks. | I will agree with King Li.

Disable adding of new post (custom post type)

),
'map_meta_cap' => true, // Set to `false`, if users are not allowed to edit/delete existing posts

Opening all posts for comments
Is it possible to use the user-interface (front-end) part of Wordpress to open comments on all posts in one (or two) clicks? I have many posts with closed comments which must have happened by mistake, and I want to make them all open comments.
Here's the caveat: My host provider doesn't give me `ssh` access into the database, so I can't just run a simple sql `REPLACE` command. Therefore, I need a way to do this from the Administration Panel within wordpress.

How go give $value to wp_query
Probly easy question but just cant seem to find whats wrong. I cant build a query based on a search when i use ' ' but not when i use a alrdy declared variable.
This works
$query2 = new WP_Query( 's='motorkap met' );
while( $query2->have_posts() ) {
$query2->the_post();
echo the_title();?> </br> <?php
}
This doesnt for some reason.... I cant seem to find how to pass the already declared variable
$zoekterm = removeCommonWords('motorkap met');
$query2 = new WP_Query( 's=$zoekterm' );
while( $query2->have_posts() ) {
$query2->the_post();
echo the_title();?> </br>
}
Very stupid I know but been searching for over 2 hours alrdy :( must be passing it wrong somehow tried everything from echo, to just $zoekterm to 's='$zoekterm' ' etc... | Assuming `removeCommonWords()` returns a string, you can do the following:
$zoekterm = removeCommonWords('motorkap met');
$query2 = new WP_Query(
array(
's' => $zoekterm
)
);
while( $query2->have_posts() ) {
$query2->the_post();
echo the_title() . '</br> ';
}

Create Mashable Follow-like Facebook, Twitter login/connect?
Hi want to ask if anyone can share an idea on how Mashable registration works? Basically the only option you have to register to their site is by Facebook or Twitter, after you login to one of them it automatically create a wp_user. No more Wordpress login/Regs needed.
I know many plugins like _Simple Facebook/Twitter/Google connect *_ are available, but i haven't found any plugin related to this one like Mashable have. If anyone can help me on this that will be great.
[*] : Simple Facebook Connect, Simple Twitter Connect, Simple Google Connect — by Otto | Mashable Follow is custom built for Mashable.com, so you won't find a plugin that brings that level of integration to your WordPress site.
That said, there are two that _may_ suit your purpose:
* **Social:** Integrates your WordPress site with social networking sites Twitter and Facebook, thereby offering a whole lot of features including—automatically broadcasting posts to the social networks, comment login, pulling in reactions from each (replies, retweets, comments, "likes") as comments, etc.
This plugin is very well coded, and maintained.
* **WordPress Social Login:** A new plugin in its first public release, supports some 20 social networks. The plugin is built on top of Social Connect plugin and HybridAuth Library | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Warning: urlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given
I have posted a question on StackOverflow (sorry for the cross link) and while I'm striving to find a solution to this, I stumbled across this warning :
> Warning: urlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /var/www/.../httpdocs/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 3192
And doing a backtrace, I find it originates in `query.php` :
**wp_includes/query.php** , _lines 1710...1712_
if ( isset( $t->rewrite['hierarchical'] ) && $t->rewrite['hierarchical'] ) {
$q[$t->query_var] = wp_basename( $q[$t->query_var] );
}
Now, I get this error because one of my URL param is an array of categories, where I'm trying to search and return all product (custom post type) that has one or more of the defined categories assigned.
Why is WordPress trying to call `basename` on an array of `GET` parameter is beyond me. Anyone care to explain this to me? Thanks! | I'm not sure exactly what's happening, but I can guess based on a few context clues. That particular function is `parse_tax_query`. It appears to be checking if the taxonomy is hierarchical, I assume it's expecting a string that could possibly be a parent/child path of terms, so it uses basename to get the actual term queried- the next line is `$term = $q[$t->query_var];` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Exclude pages by menu order
i have a "Default Page Generator" on theme activation i have created...
in that file i set 'menu_order' for each page.
**i want to exclude pages with menu order bigger then 50 from the default wp_list_pages menu**
Is there a way to check for / retrieve 'menu_order' of each page? and if there is can you think of a way to intergrate it into the wp_list_pages function? | Declare the following function in your functions.php

}
return $pages;
}
Now before calling `wp_list_pages()` apply a filter as follows
add_filter('get_pages', 'wpse58346_wp_list_pages', '', 2);
And after you have called `wp_list_pages()` you can remove the filter so that it doesn't mess with some other funcctionality

How to add custom css file in theme?
Some themes ask you not to edit the style.css file, instead use custom.css file. If you write code on custom.css, it will overwrite the same element style in style.css. I think this is done in order to prevent the loss of user styles on theme update, is it so?
**How this works?** Do they already include custom.css file in their theme? But how this file is included in the theme so that he theme look for style in custom.css first? Thanks. | I usually add this piece of code if I want to add another css file
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/my_custom_css.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
I believe the theme makers want to retain as much as possible of the theme's layout design. So a custom css file doesn't hurt much. I think it's more of a support question. With custom css file, the makers can help those who use their themes more easier. Because the original style.css is unaltered, so the theme maker can probably take a look in the custom css file. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

wp_editor on custom meta textarea field - images and html fails

Any ideas? | Not saying it's not possible, but wp_editor is not designed to be used in a meta box (when tinyMCE, which is on by default, is activated). Here's the trac ticket where some of the issues are discussed.
You can however, use the actions `edit_page_form` or `edit_form_advanced` to add your editor with tinyMCE, as suggested by azzoz, or, use the HTML only editor, as suggested by nacin.
Edit: Here's an example of adding the editor with tinyMCE disabled:
wp_editor( $meta, $field['id'], array ( 'tinymce' => false ) );

Where is the /blog/ url set from?

line break are not working when editing a post
So I have a problem when making a post. If I press enter and make a new line in the editor and press safe the line break diapers. But when I show the post it have inserted a line break. So somehow the editor is not able to show the line break? If I save the editor again the line break disappears from the post as well.
Any ideas?
I read in a post to try and use:
remove_filter ('the_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');

Redirect user to a custom url after submitting the comment
After someone submits a comment this line of codes redirects him to the post (i believe). Can I modify the code in order to redirect him to a custom URL?
do_action('comment_form', $post->ID)
Ty for the answer,

my comments.php
<form>
.......
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit" />

function redirect_to_thank_page() {
if ( isset( $_POST['my_redirect_to'] ) )
return $_POST['my_redirect_to'];
}
The code does not work, it's not redirecting to google.com for example.
Any ideas why? Ty | Not quite; the redirect occurs inline inside `wp-comments-post.php`
Use the filter `comment_post_redirect` to pass back any URL of your choice. Arguments passed are the default redirect & comment object, respectively.

Validate emails in array using foreach
How do I validate an array of emails from a textbox before sending them to the `wp_mail()` function?

[email protected],[email protected], email5.com';
$emails = preg_split('/[;,\n]/', $emails);

foreach($emails as $key=>$value){
if (is_email($value)) {
array_push($validEmails, $value);
}
}
wp_mail($validEmails, $subject, $message, $headers);
The sample code above stops on the `if (is_email())` condition. How can I validate each email in the array whichever way before sending to the mail function? | Are you aware you can pass a comma-separated string of email adresses to `wp_mail`?
// Make sure your email strings only uses comma as a separator
$emails = preg_replace('~[,;\s]+~', ',', $emails);
Then just throw that string into `wp_mail`’s first argument. Depending on exactly what you want to do with the emails, this approach may be sufficient.
The `wp_mail` function internally relies on the PHPMailer library (unless you use a redefined `wp_mail` function). PHPMailer validates the email before adding it to the recipient list. Invalid emails will be skipped. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to use get_categories() with Event Organiser plugin
I want to display my categories in tabs. All is good, except my "Upcoming Events", created with Event Organiser (awesome plugin at < are not being treated like a normal category, so they don't appear. In essence, get_categories() is not returning the events category. How can I fix this display?

$categories = get_categories( $args );
foreach($categories as $category) {

array_push($cat_list,"$category->term_id");
} | Event categories are terms in a custom taxonomy, 'event-category', so you should use `get_terms` instead:
//Args for which terms to retrieve

//Array of taxonomies from which to collect the terms
$taxonomies = array('event-category');
//Get the terms

3. pages grouped by some custom field(s);

Overriding Parent Theme... will cause plugins failure?
I overrides the parent theme by copying "header.php" and "footer.php" files to the "child" folder, it is working nicely. But I wonder if I install a plugin that need to edit the "header.php" or "footer.php" files, what will happen then?? Since I override those php files, will the plugin edit the files in "child" folder as well??
Thanks!! | A plugin never edits those files - WordPress uses a system of "hooks" and "filters" that allows plugins to change behaviour without altering code.
So, in short, as long as you've created your child theme correctly, plugins will work fine.

Questions about MU database schema and how to list all blogs
What is the best way of retrieving a list of all blogs and their URLs in a MU network? Can I find them somewhere in the database?
I'm also confused about the database schema.

Notably it also has a table wp_blogs which I cannot find on the first network.
Could this be because of the first network was installed way back when the MU feature was new (3.0) and the other network is recent (3.4)? | You can use something like this
global $wpdb;
$blogs = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT blog_id, domain, path FROM

Get second level terms of custom taxonomy
I want to get second level terms of a specific parent (first-level) term in a custom taxonomy. Sounds complicated but would be useful.
Term 1
SubTerm-1.1
SubTerm-1.2

Term 2
SubTerm-2.1
Say, if `SubTerm->parent` is Term 1's id, then i want to output SubTerm 1.1 and 1.2 but not 1.2.1.
`wp_list_categories(array('depth' => 2, 'taxonomy' => 'customtax'));` is not i'm looking for as it lists terms with their links, which i dont want to, and there is no filtering option by `SubTerm->parent` id.
So any idea? | You can use PHP's `array_filter` to process the results of a taxonomy query function that returns its results, and then display them. Something like:
# This returns the whole taxonomy...
$whole_tax = get_terms('customtax', array('hide_empty' => 0));
$second_level = array_filter($whole_tax, function ($t) {
# This term has a parent, but its parent does not.
return $t->parent != 0 && get_term($t->parent, 'customtax')->parent == 0;
});
At this point you can render `$second_level` to output in whatever format you want.
NB. If this is often used on a busy side should avoid all those extra `get_term` calls by reading from the `$whole_tax` array assuming the documentation's statement that `get_term` always hits the database when passed an id. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
