Why does Jetpack insert it's script outside the <html> tag?
I went to validate my HTML with the W3C validator and I got this error:
Line 463, Column 77: Stray start tag script.
…t src=" type="text/javascript">
This script is insterted by the Jetpack plug-in for the statistics, but it is inserted outside of the html tags, which ruins my validation!! Any ideas how to fix that?
Thanks. | Make sure your theme calls the `wp_footer()` function before the closing body tag, and scripts will be output in the correct location. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Script dependencies for post.js
I have already got the built in meta boxes displaying on the front, but some of them require the accompanying `wp-admin/js/post.js` to function correctly. I'd rather not rewrite anything here and just include what is already written. The problem is there are variables in the file which must be declared somewhere else, `postboxes` for example. Does anybody know where in the core files this file and/or it's dependencies are defined?
If anybody is wondering, this is part of a front end administration plugin. | Because of the dependency handling built into the script registration system you should only need ...
wp_enqueue_script('post');
... to load all of the required scripts, which is exactly what the Core does.
But just loading the scripts isn't going to make everything work. That form is actually loaded by `wp-admin/post.php`, which `require`s `wp-admin/admin.php` which `include`s and `require`s other things, some of which `include` and `require` still more things. I am honestly not sure what all has to be done-- never been a fan of the "front end posting" idea-- but this is not a small project or a simple one.
I guess that does answer this question though:

feed appearing different in the three main browsers
My blog feed appears diffenently in the three main browsers:
* in IExplorer it is perfect;
* in Chrome it appears as a xml file in source view
* in Firefox it appears like the result list from a search in the blog (first lines of the posts without any html formatting)
Why? | Your feed is just an XML file. If you try to look at a feed in a web browser, each browser shows the feed in a different way. Some will just show the raw XML code, and others will try to display something more human-readable and meaningful to an end user.

WPDB SQL query with prepare() returning variable, not db value

Query_posts works when appending via AJAX call wp_query doesn't?
I'm appending some posts on a click event to a twentyeleven child theme. For some reason though it only works when I use the query_posts loop and not a wp_query loop. For instance here's my wp_query loop:

$loop = new WP_Query($args);
if($loop->have_posts()) {
while($loop->have_posts()) {
the_post();
echo get_template_part( 'content');
}
} wp_reset_query(); //doesn't work

query_posts(array(
'year' => $year,
'monthnum' => $month
));
// our loop
if (have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()){
the_post();
get_template_part( 'content');
}
}
wp_reset_query();
I've been told to avoid query posts like the plague so I'd rather use wp_query. Any thoughts on why this is happening? | Calling `the_post()` operates on the global `$wp_query`, for your custom query you need to call the method of the query object: `$loop->the_post()`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Verify Values Using Settings API
I have recently been working on a WordPress plugin using the Settings API. The only problem i found with it is that the user can manually edit the value in the input tag. I was wondering if there was a way to check the before saving it. | That's exactly what the sanitize callback is for in the call to `register_setting()`:
<?php register_setting( $option_group, $option_name, $sanitize_callback ); ?>
That third parameter, `$sanitize_callback`, is a filter callback to which the user settings are passed after submitting the settings form, and before saving to the database.
The settings are passed as an array. The correct way to use the sanitize callback is to **whitelist** the settings: take the user input, sanitize/validate it, and return a sanitized, whitelisted array. That way, if unexpected data are passed, they are simply ignored. And if the user enters invalid or insecure data, those data are validated/sanitized.
To provide more specific direction, we'd need to know more specific information about the settings being saved. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Should I delete the default themes?
when managing a Wordpress site it gives me great pleasure to see nothing needs updating. Should I delete the default themes or is it best to leave them there?
By default themes I mean: Twenty Eleven Twenty Twelve Twenty Thirteen
Or should I just update them and keep them there for possible troubleshooting in the future? | I keep the default themes in place, and keep them updated.
The WordPress Foundation will keep those themes updated with any security issues, so as long as you keep them updated on your site, I'm not concerned with security problems.

wp_enqueue_script : how to change loading order of scripts?
I would like to know how to list all scripts loaded on a page, ranked by order and change this order. | When you take a look at the source of `wp_enqueue_scripts()` (or the register-sister), then you'll see that there's the `global $wp_scripts` handling all the heavy stuff.
Basically the global is just an instance of `WP_Scripts`, which is a child of `WP_Dependency` and you can use all the magic from there if there's no higher level API available.
To see all registered, enqueued, etc. scripts, simply
var_dump( $GLOBALS['wp_scripts']->registered );
or do the same with `enqueue`. Luckily you got one argument to actually sort your stuff: `dependencies`. So if you want to be one script loaded _after_ jQuery has been loaded, simply add a dependency of `array( 'jquery' )` when registering or enqueueing your script. That's the way you order them in WordPress: Make them dependent on each other. Btw, the dependency name _always_ simply is the name it was registered with, called the "handle". | stackexchange-wordpress | {

custom post scheduler for drafts

An image on my site is showing as the wrong image

You need either:
1: modify the css defining #smoothup to fit the size of the background image

or
3: use CSS3 `background-size` to scale the background image (not supported in IE8 and below) and would look wrong because you are not matching the aspect ratio.

Does settings API create settings on run time?
I'm tweaking a plugin and I'd like to have an option value different for each backoffice user.
Currently the options are defined using the `add_settings_field` method that is performed in the `admin_init` hookup.
My question is, could I register a new set of settings by prefixing my settings using the current user ID?
Such a way, if valid, could help to solve other problems, such:
* How to Set an Individual Homepage for Each User?
* < | Yes, you can and it's easier using a Class. In the `admin_init` hook (where the Settings API is being registered and defined) set a class property based on the user ID:
$this->prefix = 'uid_' . get_current_user_id() . '_';
Then, in the rest of the code, refer to your option name as `$this->prefix . 'option_name'`.
The result in the table `wp_options` will be `uid_1_option_name`, `uid_2_option_name`, etc. And each user will have its own settings.

Permalink/Pagination issue: Category base name same as page name
I currently have a page called "Blog" (slug "blog"), which loads a index.php. All posts in index.php belong to only one post category. A sidebar on index.php contains category links (via wp_list_categories) which load archive.php for that given taxonomy.

$default = '<img src="' . get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/img/team-logo.png" />';

$get_img = wp_get_attachment_image( $post_meta_data['team_page_custom_image'][0], 'medium' );

How to debug a blank page?

WordPress often is not really accurate with giving your information. You can change that: Set `error_reporting( -1 );` and `define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );`. More info in that Gist. This will avoid the _white screen of death_.
If you got XDebug installed, every error normally comes with a backtrace of what happened. If you even got an IDE like PHPStorm, you'll be able to remote debug your pages and see your errors very accurate and fast.
If you ain't got any of that, your best bet is deactivating all plugins, switching back to the default theme and then activate one after the other step by step to see when the error occurs. If you found the plugin or theme responsible, do a cross file search for `escape`. Then change it according to the error message. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to store media files in subdomain
In order to parallelize downloads, i created already a subdomain for images. images.mydomain.com
Now, i don't know how to move my media files, without breaking attachments, and after that, in the future, how to automatically store media file in subdomain.
Eventually, what i was thinking of doing was something like , redirect images.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/wp/content/uploads and after that replace all strings '< using the wordpress plugin "search and replace".
Does someone believes to know how to get around this?
thanks in advance | You can move the uploads folder to the sub domain by doing this
Open up your wp-config.php file, located at the root of your WordPress installation, and add the following code:
define('UPLOADS', '

Show Post from parent category (custom taxonomy) ONLY!
I want to display all post under a parent category (custom taxonomy) ONLY!.
Here's what I've done so far:'
<?php
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 100,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'ait-dir-item-category',

)
),
'post_type' => 'ait-dir-item' );
$the_posts = new WP_Query($args);
This displays all the posts including the sub categories, which I don't want to.
Thanks!! | Any `tax_query` can take an `include_children` argument (see Codex) that defaults to `true`. So just add that to your code and it should work:
<?php
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => 100,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'ait-dir-item-category',
'field' => 'id',
'terms' => 75,
'include_children' => false
)
),
'post_type' => 'ait-dir-item' );
$the_posts = new WP_Query($args);
_Note: I'm unsure of the behavior of`include_children` when a post is assigned to both a child and parent, but I would guess that the post would show up._

WordPress and Localization

how to request a script more than once in wordpress
Can I ask how I can request a script more than once in wordpress. For example:
for($i = 0; $i < 2 ; $i++){
wp_enqueue_script('alerthello.js', 'example.com/example.js');
}
I expect the code to display two hello, but it display one only instead. | When you're using `wp_register/enqueue_script()`, you're basically pushing an element to an array named `global $wp_scripts`. Therefore you can't echo something twice as WordPress successfully prevents scripts being registered or added multiple times.
The reason is easy: Else, every plugin that registers or enqueues jQuery (or uses it as dependency) would add another instance. Which would be an undesirable result.
If you need to echo something twice, simply handle that inside your script file. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What is a "protected" post status?
I noticed in the `register_post_status` function in core that there is an arg for 'protected'.
The following post statuses: 'future', 'draft', and 'pending' all have this set to **true**.
I'm not talking about a protected 'post' but the 'protected' argument used when registering a custom `post_status`.
What does this 'protected' status do? And why would I make a custom post status protected? | `register_post_status` is used for creating a custom post status. The protected argument, if true, specifies that a user must be logged in and have edit permissions on the post to view (preview) it.
For example, you said that the "draft" post status has `protected` set to true. This means that you can only view (preview) the draft post if you have permission to edit the post. Once the post is published, the `protected` parameter is turned off and anyone can view it.
If you are creating your own custom status, you might want it to be protected. For example, you could have a post status called "on_hold", and when you set a post to that status, it would no longer be visible to the public, but still visible to the administrators of your site. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Multisite get_home_url(); - Getting URL for current site
What would be the replacement for get_home_url() when using a multisite? For example, if I have one theme installed across several sites, and within the theme there are links that need to be specific to the current site.
On my single install, using get_home_url(); would give me < which was great, and if I moved the theme to a different domain, nothing would be affected. But when I'm using the same theme on a multisite, get_home_url(); gives me < no matter which site I am currently on. What I would need for each one is domain.com/sitename/.

function after_login() {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

Why do folders have Empty Index.php Pages?

Including them makes sure that no one can see the list of files in that directory, which could let them know what plugins or versions you are running and thus give them some things to try to hack your site.

To merge customized codes upon wordpress update
When using `update` feature (in `wp-admin/update-core.php` page), it seems to me that wp just replaces all the resources, and the changes that have been made in the working resources just get erased instead of getting merged.
At least I've been experiencing with `wp-login.php` that gets replaced per every update and thus I have to reflect back the change from scratch (it's not easy often because the code in the file changes upon update).
Am I right? If so, are there ways to merge the changes already made with the update? | Yes, WordPress replaces all the resources.
No, there is no way to get the updater to merge changes. Even in theory, I doubt you could do that. Even the big version control systems-- SVN, GIT-- ultimately depend on user judgment. That suggests the only reasonable answer I can think of.
**You should not be hacking core files at all** , but if you must you will need to use a version control system on your end to try to manage your changes and merge them with each release. Of course, the automated updater will not be involved. You will need to update manually over FTP or run GIT (or other) on the production server. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Programmatically disable W3 Total Cache in development environment
I've got two environments in my project: dev & production. I just want to be able to deactivate or disable W3TC in my dev environment but the plugin has no native support for this . I also can't find a deactivate hook that works with the plugin and setting `define('WP_CACHE', false);` based on `HTTP_HOST` seems to be bypassed in `wp-config.php`.
So surely this has come up before for people - what is the solution? | Caching plugins are very challenging to disable because on top of normal plugin functionality they tend to:
* created extra drop-in files
* set caching constants
* bypass PHP completely with `.htaccess`
While it's not impossible to mangle specific plugin into submission, it's flaky. More reliable to explicitly disable it in dev and keep.

How to make changes to style.php
I am working from a Wordpress theme called Dynamix.

`#content ul li.socialinit, #content` **and it ends with this background tag...**
`background-color: #252525;` (in the debugger).
In style.php, which is **here** , I found the code, but I have no idea how to change it.

I don't want the black background. I want it to say `background: none;`, which should fix my issues.
**I'm lost on what to do here...** | To remove the style without modifying the original code you can try add this to your style.css
.comment.yes {
background: none !important;
}
This will add a new style for that class. The `!important` part tells the browser not to let another style over-ride that line. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress Image Scaling Quality
How can I make sure that WordPress doesn't lose too much quality on uploaded images that are scaled down?
Here are some samples. You can clearly see that an image resized in Photoshop comes out with better quality than the same image resized within WordPress.
* **Original screenshot** at 700px width !Original screenshot at 700px width
* **Photoshop resized** at 600px !Photoshop resized at 600px
* **WordPress resized** at 600px !WordPress resized at 600px | WordPress does do some compression on images when it resizes them. You can disable this very simply using the following code (or using a plugin like this one):
function wpse_114909_image_quality() {
return 100;
}
add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', 'wpse_114909_image_quality' );
I'm sure that GD & Imagemagick are not as good at resampling images as Photoshop is, so this may be a battle you'll never win. All the same, this will certainly help. For any images where the quality matters _that much_ to you, you should manage the images manually instead of letting WordPress resize them. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Compile errors during translation compile
I am trying to translate a theme using Poedit, every thing is alright except two strings which give me errors like this:
Error: 'msgstr' is not a valid PHP format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: The character that terminates the directive number 1 is not a valid conversation specifier.
The string itself is this:
% comments
Both errors are in strings having `% comment` (not sth like `% s`). Now I have two problems: 1\. How can I resolve these errors? Do I need to change theme code? 2\. After getting these compile errors, I used .mo and .po files anyway but some phrases had been translated and some not! What is the reason to this?
EDIT: The PHP code translation associated to is:
comments_number( __('There are no comments so far', 'hbthemes'), __('There is <strong>1 comment</strong> so far', 'hbthemes'), __('There are <strong>% comments</strong> so far', 'hbthemes') ); | The problem was with `POEdit` program. I used another app and it's gone. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

twentythirteen h1 and h2 not resizing responsively
I'm using the twentythirteen theme which is supposed to be responsive, here on my site.
On this static homepage, the text-headers are generated as follows, using the heading tags:
<h2>Hello!</h2>
If you narrow the width of the page, you will see the page title "Home" shrink in size, but the text-headers don't. How can I fix this? | You would need to access your style sheet (style.css). Your site uses media queries to target specific screen sizes and apply different rules when the stylesheet interacts with them.
In section 4.1, it defines the site title as:
.site-title {
font-size: 60px;
}
In Section 8.0, just beneath `@media (max-width: 643px)` it defines the site title as:
.site-title {
font-size: 30px;
}
In other words, when the screen size is less than or equal to 643px wide, the site title adjusts to 30px.
In your case, you'd want your Section 8 include a rule for h2 (exchanging the # for the desired number of pixels:

font-size: 30px;

Is it possible to handle two or more shortcodes in a single page?
I have a shortcode **[API-Module version="1"]** and another shortcode like **[API-Module version="2"]**
If i handle any one at a time in a single page it works perfectly. Yet my requirement needs both had to be visible in front end(UI) when handling two shortcodes. Is there any possibilities to do so ?
Constructor to add short-code:
function __construct() {
add_shortcode('API-Module', array(&$this, 'handle_shortcode'));
}
This part is used in handling short-code:
function handle_shortcode($atts) {
$version_type = $atts['version'];
ob_start();
require_once "/front_end/view/api-list.php";
$output_string=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $output_string;
} | From the PHP Manual on `require_once`:
> The **require_once** statement is identical to require except PHP will check if the file has already been included, and _if so, not include (require) it again_.
The second time your shortcode handler is run, the view/template will not be executed.
Hence no output.
Change
`require_once "/front_end/view/api-list.php";`
to
`require "/front_end/view/api-list.php";`

Filtering WP_Query
I'm developing a site that uses a Artist custom post type and I need to query all posts of this type in a page template. I need to set the **is_post_type_archive** property to true too to filter this query using the **posts_orderby** filter.

$args = array('post_type' => 'artist');
$wp_query = new WP_Query( array_merge( $args, array('nopaging' => true) ) );
$wp_query->is_post_type_archive = true;
This is the filter:
function artist_posts_orderby( $orderby )
{
if (is_post_type_archive('artist')) {
$orderby = "RIGHT(post_title, LOCATE(' ', REVERSE(post_title)) - 1) ASC";
}
return $orderby;
}

Is it possible to match site root with a WP rewrite rule?
I need to add a custom query var to the site root.
For example say I have a query var, lets say 'colour'. I have a CPT called banana and I use the filter 'banana_rewrite_rules' to add '?colour=yellow'.
That works fine. If I visit `www.example.com/bananas/` or `www.example.com/banana/cavindish/` or `/banana/wild/` I get the colour=yellow as a query var.
Now, I also have vars being returned for posts and pages. That works fine as well.
Thing is, I need to return a colour on the site root as well. If someone visits www.example.com I need, for example, ?colour=white returned and accessible as a query var.
So going on what I've done before, if I could match the site root itself to add the query var my filter remains unchanged. (root_rewrite_rules filter doesn't work as it matches things like robots.txt, not the actual root).
Something like '^$' which works in Django? Or '/?$' | Turns out I was being dumb. The rule is '$' | stackexchange-wordpress | {

File exceeds upload_max_filesize, despite max filesize being large enough

max_execution_time = 600
memory_limit = 512M
max_input_time = 500 | It was a simple typo in my phprc.
`upload_max_filesize` should be `2G`, not `2GB`.

Woocommerce get cart total price in a number format

$totalamount = $woocommerce->cart->get_cart_total();

But this always gives 0.00
Is there a woocommerce get function that will give a number format of the total cart price? Thanks! | ## Update 2020
**Answer**
See flytech's answer for a solution using the native WooCommerce API.
**Note / Caveat**
If you're going to do proper arithmetic with monetary values, **_always_ use signed integers (!) representing the smallest denomination of a given currency** (Cent, Penny, Paisa, Dirham, e.g.).
Only convert back to decimal fractions in the presentation layer of your application _after_ all calculations are done.
This holds true regardless of language or framework.
## Original answer
I don't know woocommerce at all and hence there might be a native way as well, but anyhow, this
$amount = floatval( preg_replace( '#[^\d.]#', '', $woocommerce->cart->get_cart_total() ) );
should do.
The `preg_replace` eliminates everything but decimal characters and colons.
Should you care to do math with it, the `floatval` converts the value from a string to a numeric one. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I check if on specific plugin generated page or child
I am writing a function to force a redirect when accessing a certain page.
I have done similar things using code like
if ( is_main_query() &&
( is_singular($restricted_post_types)||is_single() )
&& ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect(...)
}
But now I want to target a certain class of pages (profile related pages in the bbpress plugin bc Genesis is destroying them). I don't know what I can use to identify this from an action in the template_redirect hook.
I think anything with the pattern `'<baseurl>/forums/user'` would catch what I need | If you're trying to catch the pattern '/forums/user', you could use PHP's stringpos function. Something like this should capture what you're looking for:
$url_pattern = "/forums/user";
$requested_uri = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
if(strpos($requested_uri, $url_pattern) == 0){
//Your code goes here
}
Make sure if you have "enforce trailing slashes" set that you use "/forums/user/" as your matching pattern instead. This code isn't tested but should work. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to access data in wordpress database externally using php
I want to share data in specific wordpress database tables with an iOS app. The client wants data entry via wordpress form plugins which create their own tables in the wp database. The plugins I've looked at don't have APIs themselves and examples of wordpress REST APIs all use AJAX which I'm not familiar with and/or can only access info in wordpress posts or user data. Is there a way to do this via php that doesn't involve accessing the database directly? I fear changes in database structure with updates could break the app. | Unless you want to use PHP to run queries directly on your database, you'll have to use a REST API and Javascript to gather the data. One point worth noting is these REST API's also use direct database queries in order to gather info to return to you when you make a request. This means that any updates to Wordpress database structure that would break your app if you wrote PHP to access the DB would also break the API plugin you use. The only difference is most plugin devs are pretty quick as far as updates go when their code becomes deprecated, and may be able to fix any issues faster than you could.
Here's one JSON API plugin I found in the Wordpress repo: <

Can WordPress handle following functionalities?
Now i am planning a development of a new web site and searching for a CMS. I know WP not bad, but never tried to build a complex community information site using this engine.
Among basic requirements there are following, i would call them "community":
\- user-panel (user profile with settings, history of activity etc)
\- users possibility to rate topics/comment/post
\- posts output according to those ratings
\- site log in/register via Facebook/Twitter account etc
Are there any popular, stabe extensions that could handle those "community" needs without deep rebuilding of engine?
_I know that all of those features can more or less be made using CMS with some extension such as Joomla, Drupal and LiveStreet, but in this project i want to exclude them._ | Most of the times when someone uses the words "Wordpress" and "community" together the answer is Buddypress.
Regarding your requirements I would say:
* social media login,
* user panel
can be handled well by plugins, but
* content rating,
* output content based on ratings
sounds like something that has to be custom-coded.
But this also depends on what content should be voted on and how the voting should be handled. I know there are buddypress plugins available for rating forum posts and pictures.
I would advise you to just install wordpress + buddypress and some plugins and see if this provides you with 95% or 50% of your requirements. After all it's not only about if there are plugins available for something but also how they work. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

$wpdb->insert Giving duplicates
I'm getting duplicate entries with this, how can I fix it please?

echo "Month". $_POST["Month"];
global $wpdb;

'church',
array(
'Firstname' => $_POST["Firstname"],

'Month' => $_POST["Month"],
'Day' => $_POST["Day"],
'Email Address' => $_POST["Email"],
'Mobile Number' => $_POST["Number"]
)
);
?> | There is nothing that prevent duplicates here.
When you create the table `'church'` is a good idea set a `UNIQUE` sql index for field email, in this way you can rely on email address to preventing duplicate entries.
As a generic PHP good practice, you should check the existence of a a variable before using it, using `isset` function:
/* If $_POST['email'] is setted and it is a valid email address */
if ( isset($_POST['email']) && filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) ) {
global $wpdb;
$exists = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM 'church' WHERE email = %s", $_POST['email']
) );
if ( ! $exists ) {
/* Your insert code here */
}
}

How to hook into action/filter call
I'm about to create a very simple logging plugin.
Every time an action or filter is fired I need to log it to the file. The idea is that we will be able to see exactly which actions and filters are executed (and functions they run) for every page load. This includes the order that they run in. | The callbacks hooked onto 'all' are called prior to the callbacks for _any hook_ (action and filters) being called. (See source)

//This is called for every filter & action

How to get the wpnonce value?
On using inspect element to check the 'href' attribute of 'Deactivate' links for the plugins listed on plugins.php page, I found that the url contains a wpnonce field with a certain value. I need to get this value. For eg,
<a href="plugins.php?action=deactivate&plugin=my-custom-css%2Fmy-custom-css.php&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s&_wpnonce=08a2b0d940" title="Deactivate this plugin">Deactivate</a>
How do I get this value '08a2b0d940' as in the above link ? | That value is a random-ish string generated for one-time use with a lifespan of, if I remember correctly, 12 hours. I am not sure what you mean by "get" the value. Assuming you mean "generate the nonce" then...
You want `wp_nonce_url` or one of the related functions.
wp_nonce_url( $actionurl, $action, $name );
For example:
wp_nonce_url( '
You can't regenerate the value if that is what you want but you could regex it out of the URL with PHP, circumstances permitting, or use Javascript to search the generated markup. Since I don't know _why_ you are trying to do this, a solid answer is difficult. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What action to use for when a post is saved / published, with a caveat
I'm trying to do some stuff when a post has been saved, I'm currently using the `save_post` action, of which generally works.

How can I make new .css file in child theme override styles in child theme's style.css
I want to make a separate responsive.css file in my child theme but having trouble making the media queries override the styles in the child theme's default style.css.
I've tried putting `<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/responsive.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>` after the `<?php wp_head(); ?>` code, which works, but I've read that this is not good practice.
I do not really want to add the media queries to the end of style.css as it's already large and getting quite confusing! | You can enqueue your own stylesheet by adding this to your child theme's `functions.php` file:
function wpa_custom_css(){
wp_enqueue_style(
'wpa_custom',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/responsive.css'
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpa_custom_css', 999 );
This will load the file `responsive.css` located in your child theme directory. The priority is set very low (999) so it is more likely to appear after other styles which may be enqueued on the same action. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I stop Jetpack mobile theme from using full size featured images?
The site I'm managing is using Jetpack's mobile theme for mobile devices. This works relatively well, except for the fact that for featured images the mobile site loads the full sized image instead of the resized thumbnails used by the desktop theme.
With some of the images going up to 3000px wide in their original resolutions, this means that most pages on the site is actually larger on the mobile theme than on desktop. The worst offender is the archive pages, where a large number of featured images is shown. As can be seen here, some pages are 5x as large on mobile.
 uses the main theme's default `post_thumbnail_size`, which is set using `set_post_thumbnail_size`. Adding this line to my main theme's `functions.php` inside a function called through the `after_theme_setup` action helped solve the problem:

Embed YouTube, login to buy & payment methods
As you can probably tell, I'm new to WooCommerce and WordPress in general.
Before I start building a site and buying plugins and extension I would like to know:
* Can you easily embed YouTube videos onto product pages with WooCommerce?
* Does the customer have to log in or create an account to buy an item through WooCommerce?
* Can a customer pay via credit or debit card through PayPal and not have a paypal account when using WooCommerce? | From Woocommerce docs:
> WooCommerce includes options to allow guest checkout, meaning customers do not need an account to make a purchase;
Paypal standard merchant functionality permits people to use credit or debit card instead of a paypal account.
WooCommerce is based on custom post types, and uses the standard editor field, so embedding a youtube video in your product would be just as easy as adding a video to a blog post. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress Customizer: custom redirection after closing

A question of etiquette when forking a plugin?
I am updating (forking) a WP plugin over on Github - with some functionality on the plugins roadmap - so I know this feature is desired by the developer and will probably be included in their next update through WP plugins.
When updating the plugin with my additions, do I also update the readme.txt file etc and add my username as a contributor (I guess this should be the case)? Or should I contact them and ask to be put on?
It is my expectation that if I had contributed then I would be credited here but not sure on the right approach!
Thanks for any advice ;) | IMHO Yes put your name as a contributor, you've contributed to that fork.

how to debug shipping module / class

I'm not able to get access to $wpdb
I'm developing some additional functionality with a jQuery autocomplete form, some custom database tables, and PHP to query the tables.
I have it working outside of the WordPress framework using mysqli for the database part.
I've added the form to a WordPress page (and added the jQuery references to the header). When I run the Firefox Web Developer Web Console, I can see that the jQuery is doing its job up to the point of calling the PHP script.
My PHP script is in the root directory of my Genesis child theme.
The PHP script is where it hangs, and it appears that I'm not getting access to the information in `$wpdb`. I executed this script in the same directory as a test:

echo "got here";
global $wpdb;
print_r($wpdb);
?>

Add filter to comments loop?

Rearranging Dashboard meta boxes with use of plugin/functions.php
I know how to remove meta boxes from dashboard, also how to add new ones, but is there a method that allows to rearrange them, for example move from `side` position to `normal` with use of functions.php or a plugin?
I know that it would require to fire only once somehow, to allow user to rearrange elements in the future, but in that case, it might just do it every time it loads - elements on dashboard are limited and functionality to rearrange them can be disabled completely. | `add_meta_box` has a the following _placement_ parameters:
$context
'normal', 'advanced', 'side'
$priority
'high', 'core', 'default' 'low'
For `$context` the difference between _normal_ and _advanced_ is that _normal_ will be placed on the page before _advanced_.
The `$priority` determines the hierarchy but is overridden when dragged by the user. You can disable the drag and drop functionality.
Furthermore `do_meta_boxes` can be used to place (output) the registered meta box, for example if you want to place the meta box above the WYSIWYG editor you can use it in a function which fires `edit_form_after_title`.
If you only want to run an action once you can some trickery with `did_action`, for example:
function action_trickery_115819(){
if(did_action('admin_init') === 1) {
//some action to run once
}
}
