Photo gallery with Featured Images
First, I need to ask if it's possible to create a photo gallery only with the featured images of the latest 6 posts? I assume it is possible but just want to make sure.
I don't have much experience working directly with the wordpress gallery so could someone point me in the right direction for accomplishing this? Any plugin with similar functionally or tutorial will do. | $query = new WP_Query(array('posts_per_page' => 6, 'meta_key' => '_thumbnail_id'));
while($query->have_posts()) :
$query->the_post();
the_post_thumbnail();
endwhile;
This code gets 6 latest posts which have featured image available & show those 6 images on the page. It will skip those posts where there is no featured image set even if they are newer.
This will probably get you started. You should read the codex pages for `WP_Query` & `the_post_thumbnail` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress widget/sidebar dividers?
I have a widget sidebar, but I'd like dividers between them. I can achieve this in CSS using boring borders, but I have a png image I'd rather use instead.
Is there a way to insert a divider after each widget item? (apart from the last one of course). I can do this in jQuery quite easily but I'd rather do it in the template file if at all possible
I'm guessing it's something for the functions file or where I register the sidebar?
Thank you | 'after_widget' => '',

Pretty Link Lite Plugin on WP Multisite
I have a subdirectory install of the WP multiste and I'm trying to use the Pretty Link Lite Plugin to create shortlinks.
I'm also using the MU domain mapping plugin to map each subdirectory site to a domain name.
The pretty link manager creates shortlinks such as:
domain.com/shortlink //base domain
domain.com/sub/shortlink2 //subdirectory domain
Is there any way to create a shortlink for:
mappedDomain.com/shortlink
as you would expect this plugin to accomplish? | look in your domain mapping options. Did you activate "Redirect administration pages to site's original domain (remote login disabled if redirect disabled)"? If so uncheck this and use the mapped domain name for the admin section (I have checked point 2+3 which is Permanent redirect and User domain mapping page and the other options are unchecked. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Htaccess redirect from '/%postname%.html' to '/%postname%'
I have a Drupal 5.x based travel review site which I'm moving over to Wordpress 3.x (same domain name).
The Drupal site is structured like this:
* `www.example.com/travel-guides` (these are top-level pages) - these are only a handful.
* `www.example.com/<filename>.html` (filename is the name of a place / attraction etc). - makes up for bulk of the content in the site.
In WordPress the setup is fairly straightforward. All content follows a simple permalink:
www.example.com/postname
How do I set a rule in .htaccess to bulk redirect all the pages? There are over 600 pages and I don't want to manually set redirect rules for all of them. | Above the WordPress rewrite rules add:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/([^/]+)\.html$ /$1
That will catch `example.com/foo.html` but not `example.com/travel-guides/foo.html`. To catch all URLs ending with `.html` remove the first `^` from the pattern.
To redirect all URLs ending with `.html` except those in `travel-guides` you need mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/travel-guides/
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.html$ /$1 [L,R=301] | stackexchange-wordpress | {

page not found in Chrome, but found in Firefox
I use .html on PAGES plugin, and this works fine for me in Chrome and Firefox.
However, Internet Explorer displays "page cannot be found".
Why would one browser not display a page, but two others find it?
Problem pages are:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

So in your first line you tell the browser to look elsewhere for the content. But you don’t say where, there is no `Location` header. And then you send the content?

Posts in multiple Categories different single.php
I am smashing my head against some code. Here is the situation: I have one post in 3 different categories, this post has to be visible in "category 1" with the single1.php, in "category 2" with single2.php and in "category 3" with single3.php.
Obviously the 3 single.php pages have a different template inside. For example the single1.php shows pictures and the_content(); single2.php shows pictures and comments; single3.php shows the reviews.
I know that in single.php I can use the if/else but I cannot figure out if the same post is in 3 different categories.
Any help please? | Instead of making it category specific you could use post formats and use different content-templates. In single.php you can write
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
Then create different post formats
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'withpictures', 'withcomments' ) );

How to edit caption for images and exclude it from excerption query?
I have 2 questions for caption for images: \- how to edti them with bold, italics and so on? I do it, but it doesn't work. \- if the image is first, how to exclude caption from excerpt in query especially for frontpage? | For your first question- HTML support for captions was a new feature in wordpress 3.4, if you have any version prior to that, it won't work
I'm not sure if i understood your 2nd question, but to exclude the caption from not displaying on the page, you'll have to either delete the caption from the image or edit your theme's template files
## UPDATE
First if the image was inserted in the page content, it is inserted in the form of a shortcode, so you can use the filter `img_caption_shortcode` to override the default shortcode output.
If it's set as featured image, instead of using `the_post_thumbnail`, use `get_post_thumbnail_id` & generate the `img` tag yourself & skip the caption.
Next to permanently disable the captions functionality(you already cleared you don't want to do that), you can use this `add_filter( 'disable_captions', '__return_true' );`
If you want a WYSIWYG editor in captions, there isn't any hook for that. You'll have to code it yourself | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to have changes made in media library to be reflected on posts/pages

Is there any way to force these changes across? Or have I no choice but to edit each page manually?
Hope someone has good news for me!
Thanks | If the image is the featured image or some image inserted via a shortcode, then those changes will reflect automatically(if they don't, it's your theme's fault, you'll have to edit your theme)
If the image is inserted into the post content, yes you'll have to go through each page/post & manually do the changes. Though updating them in media library assures that they will be inserted right the next time you insert the same images. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

add_action( 'admin_head-post-new.php', 'excerpt_count_js'); | Sorry for reading wrong your question @siouxfan45!
here is the right answer: just a little improvement in your code and you can count words!
just change these two lines:
jQuery("#excerpt_counter").val(jQuery("#excerpt").val().length);
to this:
jQuery("#excerpt_counter").val(jQuery("#excerpt").val().split(/\S\b[\s,\.\'-:;]*/).length - 1);
Words with single quote like "don't", "it's", "I'd", "won't"...will count as two! If you want them to count as a single word, then you will want to change the `.split()` to this:
.split(/\S+\b[\s,\.\'-:;]*/)

RSS feed validity and Google Adsense

WooCommerce with thousands of products - site is very slow - optimize db queries?
So far I've got around 8,000 products in my WooCommerce and the product page on the front end takes several seconds to load, even after caching.

Is that the right method and if so, how is it possible?

You're running into a MySQL server speed bottleneck at 1and1. Sorry, but they're well known as a slow shared host, and for that reason I doubt their VPSs are any better.
Caching and a CDN will only do so much for you. You need more horsepowwer in the form of a better and faster MySQL server, and if you're already paying for a VPS, move to a better VPS host, like Media Temple.
Once there, with root access, you can use a utility such as < to log and analyze the performance of the MySQL server and adjust server memory and database query cache parameters in the configuration file my.cnf. You will also be able to adjust apache - in httpd.conf - to handle high loads.

dynamic sidebar in front page
I am developing TwentyTen child theme and wish to display dynamic sidebar on front page, but something is not quite right.
I modified `loop-page.php`:
<div class="entry-content">
<?php dynamic_sidebar('promotion-sidebar'); ?> //ADDED LINE
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
At first I was invoking it inside `is_front_page` conditional statement but then to double check issue I decided to call it on every page. And guess what it appears on every single one except on the one I want: **THE FRONT PAGE**
_**Edit: I am using Sidebar Template for my static front page._**
I just don't get it. Any help appreciated. | `loop-page.php` is the wrong context for what you are trying to do.
If you want it to appear on the home page, then you need to edit `loop.php`, so in your child theme you can either create a file called,
`loop.php`
...which should take precedence over the `loop.php` found in the parent TwentyTen theme or better yet create a file called,
`loop-index.php`
...which will take first priority over the above. By doing this and NOT creating a `loop.php` we will allow the `loop.php` file in the parent theme to act as a fall back in case something goes wrong.
Hopefully that makes sense.
In summary, you want to create a `loop-index.php` file (best option).
You can simply copy the contents of what you find in `loop-page.php` over to this `loop-index.php` file to give you the basic framework for your template, then you can modify the template to your liking. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Get Order of Meta Box in a Page/Post

Hats
- Mens
- Womens
Shoes
- Mens
- Womens

What is the best way around this problem? | This is a problem with wordpress that happened to me as well.

Also if you try to change the title/slug of one of those terms, wordpress will change the corresponding term under other taxonomy too. You can't separate them like this right now
Interestingly, if the terms you created were "Mens" & "mens", wordpress takes the slug of the 2nd to be "mens-2" & then it works as normal. I don't know if it's intentional but this thing was very frustrating the first time i found out. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Creating a full business website

What are the critical theme files when building a custom theme?
What are the critical files a theme MUST have to be a WordPress theme and validate properly? | <
The bare minimum required is your index.php file and style.CSS file. Those two files alone are technically enough to run your entire theme. It's highly unlikely that you'll rely on those two alone.
The above link gives you an in-depth look at both the minimum and recommended requirements.

Is there any way to not require email address or disable notification upon setting up a member?
I'm setting up a website which will track the users by their role in relationship to the company. I want to use the built-in WP user functionality, but I don't want to send out notifications to all these people that I'm mucking around with the backend, when I have no intention of giving them edit access at all. I just want their information in there for the company's use.
Specific Problems: Regardless of whether I use a plugin to extend WP's functionality or not,
1. Setting up a user requires an email address
2. The email address is required to be unique (I can't make my own test email address primary)

RSS feed - get specific item from external feed
I am trying to figure out the best way to do this with Wordpress. I want to show a feed of news items on my site - the items are pulled from an external RSS feed. If an item is clicked, I want to show the contents of that specific item on a page within my own site.

Does anyone have any ideas at all? Thanks for any help | Displaying feeds usually links out of your site to the rest of the original content. You will have to use feeds that display all the content (or enough to show on your own pages) and then pass that information to a page using a template that can receive and display it. An alternative is to just pass some unique identifyer to your 'content' page and then filter the feed to just show the item matching the identifyer i.e. link url would be unique. - this is all considering leaving the original content where it is: you can automatically post RSS content to your own site using a plugin like feedwordpress.

what is the best and safest way to allow users to register to site
I'm wanting to allow users to register to my wordpress site. What is the best and safest way to implement this?
The ultimate goal is to give the users the option to subscribe to alerts when updates are made to the site.
Thanks, | The easiest way is to make sure you have the following settings under `Settings > General`. Under the **Membership** settings make sure
`Anyone can register` is checked and `New User Default Role` is set to subscriber.
This will allow people to register at `example.com/wp-login.php?action=register` You can also use plugins like theme my login or Gravity Forms User registration (and I'm sure others) to make the sign up pages/process simpler.
I guess I'd have to know more about why you want to allow subscribers. If you wanted an even more limited role then subscibers provides you could create a new role via role scoper or the members plugin and assign that to new users.
However, if your goal is just to give users updates why not just provide them updates via email. There are a ton of plugins that do this. Automattic has one via jetpack or Subscribe2 is also an easy way to do this. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can index.php take over for front-page.php in template hierarchy on second page?

Looking at the diagram about Template Hierarchy on Wordpress Codex, since the second page is _not_ the front page, I'd expect it to fall through `front-page.php` to either `home.php` or `index.php`, but it's not doing that; it's just loading `front-page.php` over and over again.
So how can I load, say `index.php`, for every page other than the front page?
And also, am I crazy for expecting what I expect?

I need help in designing a custom post type

<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
<p>Your comment is awaiting approval</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<cite class="fn"><?php comment_author_link(); ?> on <?php comment_date(); ?> at <?php comment_time(); ?></cite>
<?php comment_text(); ?>

Make theme editor to show all theme's files

How to Translate Contact Form 7 using qTranslate?
I'm using Contact Form 7 for my forms and also qTranslate to translate my website.
I would like to translate all my fields and for that I used:
<!--:en-->First Name (required)<!--:--><!--:ru-->Фамилия (обязательно)<!--:-->
But it display this:
First Name (required)Фамилия (обязательно)

Scheduled posts: set default time?
I want to be able to set the default time in the options for a Scheduled Post to be a specific time of the day, as opposed to it defaulting to the current time.

Limit the number of posts a category can have - newest post goes in, oldest one drops out, possible? plugin?
I would like to limit the number of posts which can belong to a given category, for example:
The "News" category should have no more than ten posts. When the eleventh post is created the oldest post should be dropped from the category without the need to edit the post manually to remove it from the given category.
Does it sound possible? | 1. Hook into `publish_post`.
2. Check if the post is in the category `news`.
3. Get all posts with that category:
$query = new WP_Query(
array(
'category_name' => 'news',
'posts_per_page' => -1
)
);
4. Update the category of the oldest post if necessary: `wp_set_post_terms()`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to display non-page / post content
I have a custom made Twitter stream on my site.
I want to have a permalink for each tweet which would go to a page which would display only the tweet - no other content - surrounded by my custom theme.
Ideally I would get Wordpress to display a Page Template on a certain url (something like /tweet/<tweet_id>), but I don't want to create a Page because it will appear in the main menu.

$showPages = array();
foreach ($pages as $page)
{
if (!in_array($page->post_name, array('no-show', 'shy-page')))

Restrict certain posts from being sent to the feed subscribers
Is there any way to restrict certain category’s posts or certain posts from being displayed into site default feed after published? I’m asking this because I don’t want few specific categorie’s posts to be sent to my feedburner subscribers. I think preventing them from displaying into site feed will also prevent them to be sent to the the feed subscribers! What do you think? Or is there any way to do so.. | Simple answer is yes you can. :)
First check out Wordpress's codex here on their RSS feeds. <
Then what you can do is change the default head rss links that let browsers know that there is an RSS feed.
In your theme find:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo ('rss2_url');?>" />
And replace the `href="<?php bloginfo ('rss2_url'); ?>"` with an alternate rss feed link as explained in the WordPress Codex.
You will want to do it also for the Atom Feed and the regular rss feed as well which are right below the first link i posted above. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Count & Display Database Queries

}
add_action('wp_footer', 'wpse_footer_db_queries');

How to change image's author via a function when using GravityForms uploader?

Twenty Eleven header resize
I seem to have a problem customizing the Twenty Eleven theme. I would like that the top header above the header image to have a background color that goes from side to side in the window. Found out that the problem may come from max-width set to 1000px, but could not find where to put it so it doesn't mess up the theme elsewhere.
How can I achieve to have a color on the top of the page (ex. like facebook top blue header) that has the width of the browser? | In your Twenty Eleven child theme (don’t edit the main theme!) create a new `header.php` file, copy the content from the parent theme, and replace this part:
<body <?php body_class(); ?>>

<body <?php body_class(); ?>>
<div style="background:#345;color:#eee;padding:10px 20px;margin:0 -2em">Hello</div>
<div id="page" class="hfeed">
But move the CSS into a copy of the `style.css`, and adjust the styles in the media queries too, because `body` doesn’t have a `padding` in smaller windows, and you have to remove the negative `margin` then. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Exclude posts by post meta value
I have constructed this query to sort posts on the home page by a set position number in a custom field. However, I need to be able to exclude posts with the position set to '0'. Below is the code working to sort the items, but I cannot get anything to work with excluding the posts.

'meta_key' => 'home_post_id',

array(

'value' => 0,
'compare' => '>',
'type' => 'numeric',
)
)
);
query_posts($args);
Something like this should work but I haven't tested it .)

Custom GET Parameters In Plugin's Admin Page
In my plugin's options page, I'd like to have custom GET parameters. WordPress already has a `?page=<slug>` GET parameter, so simply linking to something like `?myparameter=value` won't work.
I though of reading the `page` parameter, and then linking to something like: `?page=<slug>&myparameter=value`. This seems workable, but I don't know if its the best practice. The complexity of my plugin really doesn't warrant sub-pages for now.
So is this the best practice or am I missing something? | I'd recommend using `add_query_arg()`:
$url = add_query_arg(array(
'foo'=>'bar',
'custom'=>'var',
'page'=>'myadminpage'
), admin_url('admin.php'));
The second argument, `admin_url('admin.php')`, is optional - and if omitted it uses the url of the current page you are on. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Redirect from ip to domain
I want to prevent site to be accessible by ip. It could be accessible by only domain name, so I tried with htaccess trick.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .? [R=301,L]
It did the trick now my siteurl is changed to mydomain.com instead of my ip. But as per my knowledge its not complete solution. Whenever I change permalinks new htaccess will be generated so above condition will be removed.
So I thought I have to try in index.php, tried to redirect if ip is there in url by following:
if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],'111.111.111.11') !== false) {
header("Location: mydomain.com".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}
but it did nothing still site accessed by ip. Let me know if my approach is right or not. Suggest me anything else if there. | WordPress does not create a complete new .htaccess. It just rebuilds the part between the WordPress markers:

Contact Form 7: Redirecting on a condition?
I am doing a survey using the plugin "Contact Form 7". I want to insert an acceptance box. ONLY if people check this box and click "submit", they should be redirected to another page, where I am going to ask for their e-Mail-addresses.
If they don't check "acceptance" there should be no redirecting.
How can I do this?
I ready inserted on_sent_ok: "location = "" - BUT: This ignores if the acceptance box is check or not. | I found an answer myself:
Redirecting without a condition When you use the Wordpress plugin “Contact Form 7” you can redirect the user to another page after submitting the answers by the follwing code:
on_sent_ok: "location.replace('
The line of code you have to copy into the “settings” box at the end of a specific form you created.
Redirecting on a condition If you want to make the redirecting depending on a specific answer, you can use the following code:
on_sent_ok: " if (document.getElementById('car').value=='yes') {location.replace(' else { location.replace(' } "
The code in bold letters has to be changed by your settings.
For example: The question with the id “car” has two possible answers: “Yes” or “No”. If a person selects “Yes” he or she should be redirected to “ If “No” is selected, the user should be redirected to “ | stackexchange-wordpress | {
