Reposition Woocommerce Message
I'm trying to reposition the messages in my Woocommerce theme. For example the successfully added to cart message. They appear to automatically be placed at the very top of where the woocommerce wrapper start begins.
I've already found this link which allows me to change the wording of the message but what I need is to remove the message from where it is and reposition it elsewhere.
I've scoured the woocommerce forum, this forum and the woocommerce template files. There is a messages.php but that only appears to contain the markup for the messages. I cannot figure out how to change where the messages appear. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. | WooCommerce renders messages by using `woocommerce_show_messages()` function. This function is hooked to `woocommerce_before_single_product` action. So if you don't want to render messages before single product, you need to remove that hook for the action.

Manipulated shortcode output
I have a problem with a plugin I developed that registers a shortcode. The shortcode returns a string with valid HTML but some themes seems to manipulate the HTML returned by the shortcode, and I really can't understand what is the reason.
For example, this is the correct output of my shortcode:
<div class="tile">
<a>
<img src="0.jpg" />
<div class="caption">
<p>Kate</p>
</div>
</a>
</div>
and this is the output I get with some theme:
<div class="tile">
<a>
<img src="0.jpg" />
<div class="caption">
<p>Kate</p>
</div>
</a>
</div>
<p></p></a></div>
As you can see there is some extra tag after the closing of the 'caption' DIV.
Maybe these themes apply some kind of HTML validation/sanitization? | It looks like you are getting caught in some `wpautop()` replacements. Many people find the defualt WordPress `wpautop()` filter to be frustrating. So often in highly customized themes, there is a homegrown replacement.

What is the earliest hook comment meta can be saved?

My question is: what is the earliest (or most proper) hook to use to add comment meta keeping in mind that the goal is to automatically mark comments as spam? | If you look at the source for `wp_new_comment()` there is `comment_post` action hook, which fires immediately after comment is inserted into database and so is probably what fits your needs.

Programmatically Selecting Theme Based on URL
I've inherited a site which has a mobile version. Let's call it qqq.com. It has a Varnish server in front of it to cache the pages. But it seems the Varnish server is also detecting mobile requests, and changing the URL to m.qqq.com.

(WooCommerce) Remove Sidebar only on Single-Product page
I'm creating a theme and don't want to display the sidebar on single-product's page.
Following the recommendations of WooCommerce, I made a copy of " **templates** " folder (under woocommerce plugin) and installed on **mytheme/templates** , changing the folder's name to " **woocommerce** ". On my theme's root, I created a file called **sidebar-shop.php**.

Exclude / Blacklist Permalinks
I'm building a website and I was wondering if it is possible to exclude certain permalinks from beings used.
For example: if my website has a demo of a project running on `www.example.com/demo/` and a user creates a page called demo, I don't want WordPress to create a permalink like `www.example.com/demo/`.
Is there a way to exclude these permalinks? So that WordPress will take the next available permalink? Like `www.example.com/demo-2/` or something? | Interesting question. I found this post and tested, it worked for me:
<
If you don't want to edit your functions.php file an inelegant solution you can try is to create empty placeholder pages with the permalinks you'd like to reserve. If there is a physical directory on the server with that same name that would take precedence over the rewritten WordPress URL. So for example, if you create a WordPress page with slug "demo" and a physical directory in your web public dir called, "demo" you could use that for your demo site files.
Personally I like to use subdomains for this purpose myself to keep any demo work segregated from production, but that's just an opinion. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Have multiple loops on a page appear after/between page content

endwhile;
}
add_shortcode('summary', 'custom_summary');

Work on theme files on a server & browser preview before installing it

Adding custom fields (post meta) before/during wp_insert_post()
Our code base has a ton of logic that executes as the post is inserted/created. However, some of that logic depends on custom post meta. The only way I know of to add post meta to a new post is like so:
$post_id = wp_insert_post($post_obj);
add_post_meta($post_id, 'key', "value");
However, this means that the post meta is not present when hooks on post insertion happen.
Is there any way to set up or include post meta as part of `$post_obj`?
I tried making up new properties of the post object with `$post_obj->custom_key = 'value'` but it didn't seem to actually end up in the database. The only thing I can think of is to hijack an existing property of the post object that I'm not using, like `menu_order`, and store some information there. That's an ugly hack. | You can hook your function to the `wp_insert_post` action hook:
add_action( 'wp_insert_post', 'wpse128767_add_meta' );
function wpse128767_add_meta( $post_id ) {
add_post_meta( $post_id, 'key', 'value' );
}
To make sure your metadata has been added before any other insert hooks run, give it a higher priority:
add_action( 'wp_insert_post', 'wpse128767_add_meta', 1 );
By default `add_action()` uses a priority of `10`; the lower the number, the earlier it runs. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What conditional to use for dynamic sidebar check?
I have looked here on WA and also on the codex but there is no definitive source that I could find.
Which is the proper/best way to check to see if a dynamic_sidebar is active and contains a widget?
I see these 3 solutions at large but not sure what the proper way is:
1. if(is_active_sidebar('foo')){ //check if the sidebar is active
dynamic_sidebar('foo');
}
2. dynamic_sidebar('foo'); //basically just call it
3. if(dynamic_sidebar('foo')) //also have seen the inverse if(!dynamic_sidebar('foo') check the return of the function
If they are all valid then why not just choose option 2? | `dynamic_sidebar()` produces sidebar output. So case by case:
1. Checking if sidebar is active is pointless because otherwise it would just do nothing anyway. This check is useful if you need to perform it _elsewhere_ for something different and/or more extensive than just calling it.
2. Calling it just works. **< < so this is what you want**
3. I am not sure what this is supposed to be, but it is rather pointless. If it works in first half then second half is not called. If it doesn't work in first half second half won't do anything either. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Undoing define( 'UPLOADS', ''.'files' ); to repoint to "wp-content/uploads" folder
Is it possible that by setting the “wp-content/uploads” to use a different folder by using `define( 'UPLOADS', ''.'files' );` I have effectively changed all the paths on a permanent basis and if that is the case, how do I undo this so that it points back to “wp-content/uploads”?

Show parent categories of the current category
this code returns the parent categories of the current category with links separated by '»':
` echo get_category_parents( $cat, true, ' » ' ); `
will output:
Internet » Blogging » WordPress »
But is it possible not showing the last separated char? Like this:
Internet » Blogging » WordPress
Thanks in advance! ;)
Source: Function Reference/get category parents | Another way to go about it instead of substring, would be to use implode/explode & array filter.
echo implode(" » ", array_filter( explode(" » ", get_category_parents( $cat, true, " » ") ) ) );
**Breaking that down:**
Start with your original string.
$string = get_category_parents( $cat, true, " » ");
Explode the string using your divider to create an array of string parts.
$string_parts = explode(" » ", $string);
Filter out any empty array parts.
$string_parts = array_filter( $string_parts );
Recombine using your divider.
$string = implode(" » ", $string_parts);
Then combine them all together to create my one line solution at the top. The code you have using substring will get the job done, but it's not the way I'd do it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to find out who handles a permalink?
My previous question isn't faring too well. I guess it may be too specific. Let me approach the problem from another direction.
There's an URL within my Wordpress site. It's occupied - sending the visitor to some resource.
How can I identify the type of resource is associated with this URL, and then find the actual resource - page, category, post, whatever else might be holding up that URL?
The link is not specific, no `/tag/`, `/category/` or such on the path. It's probably a custom permalink attached to some entity. I need to find that entity. | I am not sure I get the question correctly. Anyway, I will try. Correct me if I'm wrong.
What I understand your question is that you want to know which template is serving your URL. If that's what you mean by resource, you should check out displaying current template path. It basically throw the template filename in `head` section.
add_action('wp_head', 'display_template');
function display_template() {
global $template;
$filename = basename($template);
echo '<strong>'.$filename.'</strong>';
}

How to customize a plugin?
When I need any functionality, I use a plugin or a snippet code inside `functions.php`. But now, I have a plugin that accomplishes my expected functionality, but I have to replace (not add) some code on it. The problem is that if I upgrade the plugin in the future, my changes may be overridden.
The code is too large to add it on `functions.php`, and create my own plugin would take much time. What is the better way to proceed in this case?
_As a note, I thought that I may could disable the upgrade button for that plugin, although it doesn't seem the better way to proceed._ | If the plugin has action hooks or filters you can make your changes from your theme without modifying the plugin itself.
an action hook:
`do_action( 'my_plugin_do_something' ); `
a filter: `apply_filters( 'my_plugin_filter_something', $something ); `
If the plugin doesn't have those where you need them, you could try suggesting them to the author. For example if the author uses Github.com for developing the plugin and you sent a pull request with the suggested changes you'd have a pretty good chance of having the author add your changes to the core code. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Display ajax preloader for large images within posts
Our WordPress installation runs only images within posts. Generally medium, lightweight images but we are also publishing larger images, sometimes gif animations which take enormous time to load.

When a post contains a big image, it is simply empty until the image is loaded, and I believe we are loosing a lot of possible future regular visitors because of this. They could believe we have empty pages.

While Using Static Pages, How Can I Get /blog into the URL of Each Post?
I have Wordpress installed on the root of my website. It is using a static homepage and posts page. As it stands, each post will look like this example.com/blogpostname.
I don't want to use category workaround where you set the default post's category to blog, it seems more like a workaround than a solution.
Thanks. | In admin under `Settings > Permalinks`, select `Custom Structure` and enter `/blog/%postname%/`.
This will prepend `/blog/` to categories and tags by default, and any custom post types and taxonomies where you have not registered them with the `with_front` argument set to `false`. you can remove it from the built-in category and tag taxonomies by setting category base and tag base (also under Settings > Permalinks) to `category` and `tag`, respectively (or whatever you want your bases to be).

Move my theme style.css into a folder
I was wondering if its possible to have my theme `style.css` in a `css` folder rather than in the root? I assume that the Theme Metadata has to be in the theme root, but could the actual styles be moved? Is this a piece of meta data I would add to the theme meta? | You can just register another stylesheet instead of `style.css`:

function enqueue_theme_css()
{
wp_enqueue_style(
'default',
get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/default.css'

How can I change a submenu-item in the WordPress-dashboard to a mainmenu-item?
I want to create a custom WordPress-dashboard for one of my cliënts. Now I want to hide the "appearance"-menu in the dashboard, but I want the submenu "Menus" to be visible as a mainmenu-item.

// get the the role object
$role_object = get_role( 'editor' );
// add $cap capability to this role object
$role_object->add_cap( 'edit_theme_options' );

$( "#result" ).load( "htp://www.mywebsite.com/?wpfpaction=add&postid=350" ); | `$.load()` is used to load content into an element. And you need to send a ping/request to a url, don't need to use what is returned/responded. So, `$.post()` or `$.get()` the the solution for this.

Can I use a Custom Meta Value inside of 'get_the_terms'?

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($nextID); ?>"
title="<?php echo get_the_title($nextID); ?>">Next</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div> | The code you posted does nothing but display. The code you need to alter is whatever is creating `$prevID` and `$nextID`, but that might not be entirely relevant.

'posts_per_page' => 1,
'orderby' => 'rand',
'fields' => 'ids'
)
); ?>
<div class="alignleft">
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($rl->posts[0]); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title($rl->posts[0]); ?>">Random</a>

and
echo "<div class=\"pagination\"><span>Page ".$paged." van ".$pages."</span>";
and
echo "<a href=\"".get_pagenum_link($paged + 1)."\">Next ›</a>";
Many thanks in advance | Always keep in mind: your translators might need need to reorder **all** words. So you cannot insert dynamic values into translatable strings like you did here.
Use `sprintf()` or `printf()` and placeholders instead:
$string = _x(
'This article has %s words to read',
'%s = number of words',
'your_textdomain'
);
printf( $string, number_format_i18n( str_word_count($post->post_content) ) );
$string = _x(
'Page %1$s of %2$s',
'%1$s = current page, %2$s = all pages',
'your_textdomain'
);
echo "<div class='pagination'><span>"
. sprintf( $string, $paged, $pages )
. "</span>";
No placeholder is needed in this case:
echo "<a href='" . get_pagenum_link($paged + 1)."'>"

Why does $wpdb return strings for mysql integer values?
I find it very inconvenient and hard to understand that the default behavior of the Wordpress db-interface is to convert all integer (and float?) types to strings.
e.g
$wp_posts = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT * from wp_posts');
$unexpected_type = gettype($wp_posts[0]->ID) == 'string';
Please confirm my suspicion that this is done in order to support very large (capacious) integer types that are not supported by PHP, or provide an alternative explanation as to why one would chose to convert integers to strings.
The second part of my question, as maybe expected, is to find out if there is a built in configuration parameter to the `wpdb` class that would allow one to request _integers_ for integer-type records. | Because the MySQL interface library used prior to PHP 5.3 returns everything as strings. The new (optional) interface, MySQL Native Driver, can return integer types if enabled at compile time.

Execute Jquery when a specific page in my plugin is loading
I am building a plugin and I would like to be able to hide the wordpress admin side menu and top bar when a specific page is shown(or menu item clicked)?
Should I call the jquery directly as a script on the plugin page's code, or is there a way I can execute the jquery when the page is loading, or menu item is clicked from a hooked function with ajax or something similar? Here is the jquery I wan't to run:
$("#wpadminbar, #adminmenuwrap").hide(); | You'll need to get the screen id on the screen (or page) in question using get_current_screen()
get_current_screen()->id
Then, hook into it with the following:
function my_script_function() {
if ( strpos( get_current_screen()->id, 'screen_id' ) !== false ) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'my_javascript_handle', 'path/to/my/script.js', 'jquery', '1.0' );
}
}
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'my_script_function' );
This will enqueue your script properly in the WordPress system along with jQuery core (just in case it isn't already there).

How to redirect new WordPress user to previous page after registering
When a user registers for a WordPress site, they are redirected to the login page after completing the registration form. Is there a way to redirect them to the previous page before filling out the registration form?
Please note that I'm not looking for a custom/static page because the user will be coming from various pages and that's the page I want them to return to - not the same page for every case. Thanks! | There's a `registration_redirect` filter you can use:
add_filter( 'registration_redirect', 'wpse_129618_registration_redirect' );
function wpse_129618_registration_redirect( $redirect ) {
if( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) && 0 != strlen( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) ) {
$redirect = esc_url( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] );
}
return $redirect;
}
Alternately, you can edit the PHP that is generating your `<form>` and add a hidden field named `redirect_to`, using the current page's address (ie, `$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']`).

Add information above a custom post type listing of all posts page
Ok, that sounds like a rather confusing title, let me explain.
I have created a custom post type (CPT) and I want to add some summary information about the posts of that post type above their listing (where the filter and bulk action buttons are), the page in question would be:
Is there a hook for this ? Since I don’t really know what to call this area, i am not finding anything doing any further searches. | You can use the `admin_notices` action for that:

?>
<div class="updated">
<p>Here is some text</p>
</div>
<?php
}
}
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'wpa_admin_notice' );

Wordpress network vs Separate installs

Is there a way to create a meta box that can be added multiple times to a post dynamically?
This shouldn't be that difficult (I wouldn't think) ... I just want to have a section of my theme (directors) that has the name of the director / their bio in the title and post respectively (done).
_But_ , I would also like to have a meta-box on their post for their work (title / client / date / video link / thumb ) and I would like to be able to **add** or **remove** instances of this meta box as needed ... i.e. director A) has 3 videos ... director B) has 5 videos.
How do I create a meta box (or is there something else in WP) that can be dynamically added / removed (like the way the menu system works) where I have a menu and I can add as many or as few items to the menu as i want / need. | WPAlchemy are also useful, that could be customizable depend on your desire, But as Matthias Lehming said, Advanced customer fields are also good and quick staff to use. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

get current page number with wp_link_pages()
I would like to get only the current page number (without HTML).
I'm using
wp_link_pages( array ( 'pagelink' => '%' ) );
How can I do that?
I'm also using this code in my theme:
function single_split_page($defaults) {
$args = array(
'before' => '<div class="single-split-page"><p>' . __('<strong>Pages</strong>','theasd'),
'after' => '</p></div>',
'pagelink' => '%',

} | `wp_link_pages` depends on four `global`s\-- `$page`, `$numpages`, `$multipage`, and `$more`.

Content hooks vs User hooks
This is more of a theory question than a question with a direct answer.
I've been working with different actions for firing functions when a post is updated or deleted and when users are updated or deleted. For the actions, `publish_post` and `before_delete_post` for the posts and `personal_options_update`, `edit_user_profile_update` and `delete_user` for the users.
With post update you get access to the values that are currently set and the values the new values at the same time to make any changes you see fit before anything happens. With user update you only have access to the new information and only after it's already been set.
**Is there a reason for this difference or is this just inconsistent?**
...and don't get me started on publish_{custom_post_type} vs before_delete_post. | It depends on what exact action you are using, and what the purpose of that action is.
For the update actions, for example, there should always be hooks that are triggered **before doing the change** (so that you may change or prevent it), and hooks that are triggered **after the change has been completed** (so that you can react to changes).
In your "user" case, if you want to compare the existing vs the changed user, you want to hook into the `user_profile_update_errors` action. This action gives you an object that shows you what the intended changes are, and whether there's already an existing user. In that case, you can retrieve the existing user through its ID and compare them both.

What happens when two or more plugins use the same hook?

What is the best approach to accomplish this? Or am I doing something wrong here? | There is priority as explained in the codex:
add_filter ( 'hook_name', 'your_filter', [priority], [accepted_args] );

Custom rewrite rule for backend/admin?
I would like to create a custom rewrite rule that will take the URL:
`
but display
`
Is there any way to do this? I am trying to add the rewrite rule so in my theme's `functions.php`
add_action( 'init', 'add_custom_rules' );
function add_custom_rules() {
add_rewrite_rule(
"^submit-project/add",
"/wp/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=project",
"top");
}
I've tried flushing the rules, but this always seems to enter some kind of loop always going back to the 'login' page.
**Edit**
1. The URL is actually just 404-ing now
2. I should add that I do have a page with the slug `submit-project` and thus the URL: ` in case it matters.
3. I've installed the plugin Rewrite Rules Inspector and can't seem to find my rule in there. | In general, it is possible, but you need to define `ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH` in your `wp-config.php` to the value `/` which might cause security issues.
First of all define this rewrite rules in your .htaccess right before the rewrite rule of wordpress:
# Make sure, there is a trailing slash
RewriteRule ^submit-project/add$ submit-project/add/ [R=301,L]
# mask the urls
RewriteRule ^submit-project/add/$ /wp/wp-admin/post-new.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^submit-project/add/post.php?$ /wp/wp-admin/post.php [L,QSA]
# this is the wordpress rule:
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Now you need to define the constant in the `wp-config.php`
define( 'ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/' );
I recommend not to use this on a productive site. Consider to offer a special input formular in the frontend using shortcodes or something less invasive than the shown example. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress changing single quotes to double quotes in title and content

Custom Post Conditional for Parent & Child Single.php?

artist parent

artist child
<?php else : ?>
empty other pages etc

Recent Posts titles not working with Qtranslate
I am using a WordPress 3.8 installation with qtranslate, and everything is working except for the recent posts titles. Qtranslate displays the titles with all languages after each other. Like: _English title German title French title_

echo '<li class="lastposts"><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '" title="'.esc_attr($recent["post_title"]).'" >' . $recent["post_title"].'</a> </li> ';
}
?>
I have googled for this problem and it seems like Qtranslate does not work with `post_title`. How can I make it work? | Qtranslate works probably with a filter on `the_title`. So you have to use functions that make use of that filter, not the raw post title.

previous_posts_link and next_posts_link, how to return the next/previous post's title as the url

currently this is returning mysite/title/page/2. | The functions you are using refer to the next or prev paginated set of posts, not a single post, hence the format they are in. Try using `get_adjacent_post()` instead.
<?php
$prev = get_adjacent_post(false, '', true)
$next = get_adjacent_post(false, '', false)
//use an if to check if anything was returned and if it has, display a link

Filter to change the content of 404 page

But I don't want to create separate template files as the page structure depend on the current theme in use. Rather I just want to change the content and title. I have tried change the content using `the_content` filter, but it seems the filter doesn't even get called for 404 page.

register_post_type(
'test',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => 'TEST'
),
'public' => TRUE,
'show_ui' => FALSE
)
);

add_action( 'admin_menu', function(){
add_object_page(
'TEST',
'TEST',
'edit_test',
'test',
function(){
echo 'test'; // list post type items here
}
);
