How to add an option to admin to add image that could be used as header?
I want to add an option to add/change an Image in admin dashboard in a way that I can call it through code. For example lets call it header_2 Image and then want to use it in an header template. So that users later on can change this image without editing header template. | This is how I did it in the end. I installed Types plugin and created a custom post type with only featured Image and title.
I created one post of this type.
Removed GUI to add more posts of this type.
Using another plugin Admin Menu Editor I added menu Item to edit the only post of this custom type. Now this Image can be changed at any time.
and I displayed featured Image of this post in the page I had to. Once this post is changed. It changes in the page as well.
More like a tweak but for user it is very easy to use and works as required. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

SQL Query to Get list of all users along with their blogs

Same template for all the terms of a taxonomy
My problem is the following.
I have a custom post type called "photography" which contains a taxonomy called "photographyCategories", which contains several terms : "outside", "inside", "portrait"...
All these terms content is based on the same outline (a list of pictures and a slider).
I know that if I want to display the archive page of one of these terms I have to create, for example, the file taxonomy-photographyCategories-outside.php. I've done it and it works.
But what I want is ONE template for all these terms. I don't wanna have an "outside" template, an "inside" template and a "portrait" template because they're all the same... They display the same type of content, except the photographies that are different.
I can't find a way to do this...

List of default WordPress URLs

How to hook wp_mail to add a custom email as BCC for each sent email?
Is there a way to hook into the wp_mail function to add a custom email as hidden (BCC) copy to each email sent?
If so, how?

It's not like I want to send an email with BCC, I would like to make the necessary hooks to add the BCC to every sent email (many different functions in my theme make use of `wp_mail`) | You have multiple options:
1. The function is pluggable (i.e., you could write up your own `wp_mail` function and make it do what you'd like).
2. There's the `phpmailer_init` hook, which gives you access to the `$phpmailer` object (and thus lets you `AddBcc` another email address.
3. There's the `wp_mail` hook, which gives you (amongst other things) access to `$headers`, where you could add another email address to the `'bcc'` field. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Plugin can't write to database even though permissions appear correct?
I'm using the Formidable Form plugin, and when I try to add a form, the form isn't saved. According to the developer, the user does not have sufficient permissions to write to the database. Here's how my wp-config.php looks:
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress_clouse');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'wordpress_user');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
wordpress_user has 'All Privileges' under phpMyAdmin, so I don't see where the discrepancy is. Why would the plugin be unable to write to the database if permissions appear in order? | The Formidable Form plugin seems to ignore database errors in many places in the code. Setting `WP_DEBUG` to true uncovered that the forms are not created because some tables are missing (no indication is given to the user).
Further investigation has shown that the tables fail to create when the plugin is activated (no indication is given to the user).
The underlying root cause that leads to table creation failure is that some of the tables are using nullable fields in unique keys, which is currently not supported by the Cloud Storage Engine (ClouSE). So the solution here is to alter the creation statement to make the fields that are used in unique keys not nullable.

how to add limit records in wordpress query
I have this query which is returning the all records from database whose type is equal to 'quote2'. No I want to know how to limit the record. I mean I just want to show last 10 records added in the database. I am new in wordpress and want to learn syntax of my required query.

$query->the_post;

Page not found error when adding text `2 = 2 ^ 1` to the page
Adding the following text to a page in the Text editor and clicking `Update` results in "Error 404 - Page Not Found":
2 = 2^1

**Update:**
After some experimentation I've discovered a more general form of input leading to errors:
<number> = <number> ^
with the same number on both sides of the equal sign.
For example, `100 = 100 ^` gives an error while `100 = 101 ^` doesn't. | This is an issue when installing mod_security2.

Comparing Dates from custom field
I am trying to compare dates from a custom field. I have them stored as something like "20121125". If the date has expired, a placeholder image will be used, if not, the default thumbnail will be used. Any advice is appreciated.

$key = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Due', true);
$date = date('ymd');
if ($key >= $date) {
the_post_thumbnail('medium');
} else {
$html .= '<img src=" alt="">';
}
return $html;
?> | Well, the exact server time/timestamp can be retrieve with current_time function. And comparing your date format, it would need to be Ymd. So combining these two thing, the proper comparison for you should be -
$key = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'Due', true );
$date = date('Ymd', current_time('timestamp') );
if( $key >= $date )
{
// note to retrive the post thumbnail, you need to use get_the_post_thumbnail,
// as the_post_thumbnail function actually echo the output
$html .= get_the_post_thumbnail(null, 'medium');
}
else
{
$html .= '<img src=" alt="">';
}
return $html;
Now, there could be one question in which timezone you are saving the date in the post meta. If the value is sanitized with the server time (as the post_date value is saved), then this is perfect comparison. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to load wordpress environment without loading the template?

Using composer for dependency management in plugindevelopment
I'm new to wordpress plugin development. Normally I would use composer to add thirdparty libs to my code, but I couldn't find any wordpress plugin on github that uses composer for that.
I read about wpackagist.org and the way composer can be used to manage dependencies between wordpress plugins. In this case there would be one master composer.json with all infos.
But what if I want to develop a single plugin using composer? Would I simply include the autoload in the "plugin root"-file? But what if other plugins would do it the same way and would bring own autloaders and in the worst case have the same dependencies in different versions?
Is there a best practice for integrating lib-dependencies into wordpress plugins? | There are still very few WP plugins/themes that are being developed Composer-first. You can take a look at Laps case study (one of mine) for practical example.
Essentially if you plan for plugin to be publicly distributed you need to take care of both cases - running it as part of whole-site Composer stack and running it standalone.
In practice this usually means looking and conditionally loading autoloader if its present (with rest of vendor stuff) inside plugin's directory. Along the lines of:
if ( file_exists( __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php' ) )
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
This doesn't address issue of multiple plugin with duplicated dependencies, however it's _no worse_ than exactly same thing happening without Composer involved. Simply put WordPress has no native dependency management, so the only way to reliably handle it is introduce it externally - such as managing whole WordPress stack with Composer. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I want to customize the footer text in a Custom Post Type admin page. I have a plugin that creates this custom post type and want to add in it a function to customize admin_footer_text.
As you can see in code below I can change the footer text, but only globaly.
function my_custom_footer_admin_text () {
echo 'my custom message,';
}
add_filter('admin_footer_text', 'my_custom_footer_admin_text');
Does someone knows the hook of a custom post type page? Or how can I change the footer text of a certain Custom Post Type page? | This should do. Put the following in your `functions.php`
if (in_array($GLOBALS['pagenow'], array('edit.php', 'post.php', 'post-new.php')))

function my_custom_footer_admin_text($text) {
$post_type = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'post_type');
if (! $post_type)
$post_type = get_post_type(filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'post'));
if ('my_post_type' == $post_type)
return 'my custom message';

How to display date of blog creation

Change header when on home page
Im trying to make my home page have one type of header which is different from every other page. I have made a page the front page in the settings called home and in header.php i have changed the code to this:
<?php if(is_home()) {?>
<hgroup>
<h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><img src="<?php echo "Hello World" ?>"/></a></h1>

<?php } else {?>

<h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/Cranbri-web-solutions.png"/></a></h1>

Do not display post images on front page
I have decided that for all pages where multiple posts are shown (e.g. front, category, tag pages), that post images should not be shown. Instead, featured images, if specified, should be shown next to each post.
Right now, featured images are working fine for posts. However, when multiple posts are displayed (e.g. on the front page, category pages), images should be stripped from the posts.
When a single post is displayed, the images should display as well.
I'm assuming that this has something to do with `add_filter()` and a regex `str_replace()` on the post, but this would affect the post no matter where it's displayed.
Reply | Try this
<?php
add_filter('the_content','wpi_image_content_filter',11);
function wpi_image_content_filter($content){
if (is_home() || is_front_page()){
$content = preg_replace("/<img[^>]+\>/i", "", $content);
}
return $content;
}
?>
Place in your functions.php file, call up your the_content() like normal. This will allow you to still have a feature image, but remove all images from main page. If you want to remove them from other pages just add to your and ||

wp_mail recipient array not sending?
I am using wp_mail to send an email to multiple recipients.
my mail function looks like this:
wp_mail($group_emails, 'my subject', 'my message', $headers);
`$group_emails` is an array of email address's and gets outputed like this:

For some reason the email does not get sent to the above emails? If i remove the multiple recipients and just put a single email address, it works fine!
Any suggestions? | There are multiple ways of doing this.
You can consider any of the following.
1.My **preferred** :
foreach($group_emails as $email_address)
{
wp_mail($email_address, 'my subject', 'my message', $headers);
}
2.Another way
Define the array as follows.
$group_emails = array('[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]' );
And then try your regular procedure:

How can I change the label "Comments" to "Review" everywhere in the WP installation without translation
Got the way to change the labels everywhere for the post_type "Post". For a customer site, I need to use the WordPress comments. Just need to change the label from "Comments/Comment" to "Review" everywhere. But where for post_type "Post" we can use `$wp_post_types;`, what can we use for comments?
I tried with `$wp_comments`, `$wp_comment` etc. but failed.
How can I do it?
PS: I don't want a way to translate all the strings etc. Just need a way like the link pasted above. And not just the menu labels, I need to change them everywhere, so that under the post writing page, in the checkbox saying "All comments" would also change. | You can try the `gettext` filter.
According to the Codex:
> This filter hook is applied to the translated text by the internationalization functions (__(), _e(), _x(), etc.). This filter is always applied even if internationalization is not in effect, and if the text domain has not been loaded.
Here's an example:
function custom_gettext( $translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain )
{
if( FALSE !== stripos( $untranslated_text, 'comment' ) )
{
$translated_text = str_ireplace( 'Comment', 'Review', $untranslated_text ) ;
}
return $translated_text;
}
is_admin() && add_filter( 'gettext', 'custom_gettext', 99, 3 );
to change the strings containing `Comment` to `Review` (ignoring case).

wp_nav_menu $theme_location parameter ignored
This is the first paragraph of the documentation of the function `wp nav menu`:
> Given a `theme_location parameter`, the function displays the menu assigned to that location, or nothing if no such location exists or no menu is assigned to it.
However, I am providing a `theme_location` that I have not registered, and in spite of that a menu item appears.
Here's my functions.php:
<?php
function register_my_menu() {
register_nav_menu('header-menu',__( 'Header Menu' ));
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' ); ?>
And here's how I call the menu:
<?php wp_nav_menu($args = array('theme_location' => 'nonsense')); ?>
On my page, a menu with the default item "Sample page" appears. According to the documentation I cite, nothing should be displayed, because the location "nonsense" should not exist.
Is the documentation wrong, or am I making some mistake? | The documentation is wrong. Check the source. There are two telling comments. First there is:
>
> // Get the nav menu based on the theme_location
>
And after which there is another comment that reads:
>
> // get the first menu that has items if we still can't find a menu
>
Following that last comment the code runs `wp_get_nav_menus` and loops through every menu on the site hoping to find one that has associated items. In other words, `wp_nav_menu` tries desperately to create a menu and will use the first one it finds. I don't understand the logic behind that code. I get the concept of fallbacks, but this strikes me as fallback overkill.
You will need to wrap your code in `has_nav_menu` to prevent this behavior.

Thank You | Wordpress certainly can scale. Wordpress.com alone served 14.6 billion pages last month. The key is that they had hundreds of servers so that they can widely distribute the load.

New to CMS - WP functionality. overkill or just right?
I am a designer / developer. My experience is in HTML/CSS/JS, some knowledge in PHP, MySQL, and Wordpress one-click-install and pre-made template.
I want to program an entire website layout myself, and I have two places/needs for content management. (custom WP template?)
1. A media gallery in HTML/CSS/JS that can populate with images from a CMS image upload.
2. A series of 'profile cards' with fields I can customize in the CMS. A name, a title, a bio, an image etc. And then be able to display that content in customized HTML/CSS.
These two features, along with a well-designed intuitive admin panel are the requirements. In your opinion, can WP get this done and still allow me freedom in programming HTML/CSS layout? Sorry for general question, I really need some reassurance bc I'm very new to back-end CMS setup. | For the most part, I believe Wordpress will do just fine. You will have to brush up on your knowledge of PHP to get the hang of creating your own custom templates, but there are plenty of sites (This One Included) that will help guide you.
There are also a plethora of free & premium plugins for Wordpress (see CodeCanyon) that allow you to add many cool features to your site (Galleries, Image Sliders, Audio Players, Forms, E-Commerce stores..etc).
It will allow you to create "Custom Post Types" for your "Profile Cards" where you can list them on pages, create custom templates for them, and link them to specific users.
You can use ACF to add custom fields on any "Post Type", which can be called & displayed via the custom templates you make.
The admin panel is pretty straight forward and easy to learn how to use as well. I would recommend using some sort of pre-made skeleton theme or framework when making your first theme. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to create a custom search form and handler?

I already have the business logic that does this, I'm having trouble hooking it up to WP. What would be the best way to accomplish this?
edit: sorry, it was probably quite vague question, what I have is an app I described above built on php framework, what I want to do is move it to WP, the problem is while the logic itself will require little modification, I have no idea how to hook it up to wordpress via plugin, essentially how do I create a form with plugin and how do I take input from that form and direct it to the logic that will handle that request? | To change the search form, filter `get_search_form`. You get the form as a string here, and you can change it as you need.
add_filter( 'get_search_form', function( $form )
{
// Replace the form, add additional fields
return $form;
});
To change the search query to the database, filter `posts_search`. You get the query as a string and the current `WP_Query` object which provides more information. See `wp-includes/query.php` for context.
add_filter( 'posts_search', function( $search_query, $wp_query )
{
// change the SQL
return $search_query;
}, 10, 2 );

Should 'setup_postdata()' be reset with 'wp_reset_postdata()'?
Starting with an example makes more sense, so here's an example function:

echo '<meta itemprop="description" name="description" content="' . $description . '">';
}
}
_**NOTE:** The code is only to give you an idea of what I am trying to accomplish and not exactly how I am doing it._
Now coming to the point, should `setup_postdata( $post )` be closed with `wp_reset_postdata()` as shown in the example? | As `setup_postdata` is _messing_ with global variables that might be (most probably: **are** ) used by other loops (including _The Loop_ ), you should always reset these variables to what they should be--according to the main query (i.e., what WordPress thinks the user wanted in the first place).
In addition, `setup_postdata` is provided with (a reference to) the `$post` global, which might be altered afterwards.
So, yes, `setup_postdata` should be accompanied by `wp_reset_postdata`.
As you can see in the code, the `reset_postdata` function is, in fact, calling `setup_postdata` on the _original_ `$post` object. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Should I delete automatically-created files before installing WordPress?
I'm switching a site from OpenCart to WooCommerce.
I'm trying to figure out what I should delete from `public_html` and what I shouldn't.
Below are the files I'm unsure about. Some of them were there before I installed OpenCart (years ago), but I can't tell which ones.
Is it ok to delete all of them or should I keep some?

add after content don't work

do_action in header, add action later?

right after the opening body tag.
And then later (in comments.php just before `<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>`), if I need to call
add_action( 'topofthetop', array('someclass','FB_JS_SDK') );
FB_JS_SDK simply echoes the code needed to included the FB-JSSDK. But the code doesn't appear after the body tag. I guess because header.php is allready output before my add_action call?
How could I solve this? | You must register callbacks before they are called (`add_action()` and `add_filter()` are registration functions, they remember what to do when).

How does Wordpress resolve permalinks internally?
I am doing some deep modding of the rewrite system and custom post_types but before I can continue I must find out how WordPress handles the rewrites.
I found the function url_to_postid() but WordPress it self doesn't seam to use it to resolve permalinks into queries?
For example: If I hook into the pre_get_post functions, and browse a page or a custom post_type the provided query now include "is_page" or "attachment" etc but if i where to type a URL at random, this data will not show. Where does WordPress figure out if the URL is a page|posttype|attachment or not? And how can I hook into this? | If you have a look at the Action Reference, you'll see all of the actions executed before `pre_get_posts`. The two you'll probably want to investigate are `parse_request` and `parse_query` (yes, those are lacking in documentation).
The part you're probably most interested in is `parse_request`, where rewrite rules are matched against the requested URI. You can see it in source here.
When a front end request happens, the file `wp-blog-header.php` is loaded, which calls `wp()`, which calls the `main()` method of the `WP` class, which calls the `parse_request()` method. At the bottom of that function, you'll see where the `parse_request` action is executed.

user_login vs. user_nicename
When you call the `get_users()` functions, a list of user objects are returned. Each of those users has a number of properties. What is the difference between `user_login` and `user_nicename` in those returned properties for each user? And which of those two properties are displayed in the URL? (I am asking because both properties are the same in my case!). | `user_nicename` is url sanitized version of `user_login`. In general, if you don't use any special characters in your login, then your nicename will always be the same as login. But if you enter email address in the login field during registration, then you will see the difference.
For instance, if your login is **[email protected]** then you will have **userexample-com** nicename and it will be used in author's urls (like author's archive, post permalink, etc). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to set path with WP_Filesystem and ftp base / chroot

Using Templates with Custom Post Type UI
I'm using this nifty little plugin called Custom Post Type UI to add custom post types to my WordPress site and am having a little trouble working out the best way to apply a page template to my custom post types.
Does anyone know the best way to achieve this?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance! | WordPress has a built-in template hierarchy that determines what template file will be loaded for a given type of post or page. If you have a look at the visual overview of the hierarchy, you'll find that custom posts have their own specific entries. For example, if your custom post type is named `book`, then a single post's template will be `single-book.php` if it exists, `single.php` if it does not. (`index.php` is the global fallback -- a theme really only _needs_ to contain `style.css` and `index.php` to function.)
Any desired template files (ie, `single-{$posttype}.php`) should be added to your active theme.

Your code looks right to me for using a class method as the callback, but I suspect that what you really want is the `walker` argument, not the `fallback_cb` one.

Customizing the Widget content markup
I am using bootstrap to create panels for the sidebar widgets, and I can set the container markup for the widget, as well as the markup for the panel header, but I cannot provide the markup for the panel content. I have this so far:

'name' => __('Right Sidebar'),
'id' => 'home_right_1',
'before_widget' => '<div class="panel panel-default">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<div class="panel-heading"><h3 class="panel-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3></div>'
));
bootstrap panels need to look like this:
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">Panel heading without title</div>
<div class="panel-body">
Panel content
</div>
</div>
How can I add the '<div class="panel-body">###</div>' to each widget? | Add:

Adding page subdirectory dynamically, as like buddypress does
I have a page with slug/name **charts**. So the url looks like ` for the Charts page. When i type the url to ` or ` i got error not found, logically it should as there is no sub page with the given names.

The `(something)` could be any Alphanumeric characters, and not needed to be a valid one. Just need it so that WordPress Still makes query for the Chart page, and all the extra url path are added to wp_query Object.

I tried updating image sizes under Settings->Media->Image Sizes but these are only max values and some images end up coming out at 290 x 155 etc, is there a way to force WP to create an image at my desired size?
I am not using post thumbnails, I have built a plugin that uses wp_get_attachment_image() to retrieve images. | You'll want to use add_image_size() in your functions.php to tell Wordpress you'd like it to create a new image size when you upload images:
`add_image_size( 'custom_image_size_name', 290, 180, true );`
Using the value true will tell Wordpress you want it to crop the image to those exact dimensions.
Once you do that and upload an image, you can use `'custom_image_size_name'` in `wp_get_attachment_image()` to get the correct image.
Because Wordpress only creates the image sizes when you upload images, you'll want to use a plugin like AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild to rebuild previously uploaded images with your newly defined images size. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Page Automatically Generated from Theme?
I'm running WordPress multisite and would like each site to have a specific page (with pre-loaded content) generated from a page template, contact.php. Rather than go through each site and create this page, I would like it to be created automatically by the theme. I plan to add all the content in contact.php itself. I'm assuming there is a way I can do this with a theme hack but have no idea where to start.
To put it more simply, the theme would automatically create a page at domain.com/contact from the template contact.php. | Put this in your `functions.php` file:
$contact_query = new WP_Query(array(
'pagename' => 'contact',
'post_type' => 'page',

));
if (! $contact_query->post_count)

'post_name' => 'contact',
'post_title' => 'Contact',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_author' => 1,
'page_template' => 'page-contact.php',

How can I get rid of the home loop entirely, so the index doesn't request any additional data from the database? | "The Loop" is WordPress. Trying to get rid of it is impossible. It may return no results, but it will always be called.
That being said, it does not mean that you have to call a listing of posts on your home page. If you instead plan on customizing the front page to be "static content" (ie. a "Page"), then you can use the WordPress Template Hierarchy to change the way it works.
Create a template called "front-page.php" in your theme directory that will still run/display the loop. Then in the Administration panel under Settings->Reading, where it says "Front page displays", select the radio button for "A static page (select below)".

The concern I have is that on activating multisite it's prompting me to clear all database tables for the existing installation. Will this cause a problem for the 20+ existing installations? | Typically, each instance of Wordpress has it's own database. If you have 20+ seperate Wordpress installs, then you should have 20+ different databases. Each database is going to have quite a few tables.
If it is asking you to clear the database _tables_ , then it is most likely only referring to the data for a single Wordpress install: namely, the one your are installing Multisite on. In other words, your 20+ other Wordpress installations should be safe.

Taxonomy landing pages

then use the `template_redirect` filter to load your template when the `tax`variable is there:
if (get_query_var('tax')) {
# load the template here
}
You'll also need to add the `tax` query var to the list of filtered vars using the `query_vars` filter.

When is it appropriate to put functions on page template vs. functions.php?
I'd like to improve my code and on a current theme, I've extended Wordpress with custom post types, metadata, customized user authentication, and a number of other items.
Some of these functions exist in the functions.php file while I've put others directly on the template files that they relate to. I have little reason for doing this initially, other than it seemed appropriate because said template file was the only file using the specific function.
But I'd like to know what is considered best practice for the sake of speed and security? What do you do? | If it is a custom theme for your site then there would no great speed or security improvements by moving functions.
On the other hand if you want to distribute the theme then I recommend having only the minimum php in the page templates files and having the rest of the functions organized in different files. I like the basic theme set up files of the theme to be in the functions.php and the rest in separate organized files. _s does a good job of this. The reason for moving the functions away from the templates files is that it makes it easier to customize and manage.

You could look at the contributors page template included in the Twenty Fourteen default theme for WordPress as an excellent example. May be a challenge to use it with another theme depending on your skill level.
Another option which i have coded myself for Genesis, is a widgetized page template. This way you can use any type of author/profile widget in the widget areas. No author details are hard coded so you simply add a new widget each time you use a new author.
