Is it possible to rewrite a page url Without setting the permalinks to Post Name?
Is it possible to rewrite the page url if your page link is for example `localhost/wordpress/?p=123` ? Instead of `post_name.php?...`. (So the first option of permalinks and not `post_name`. | The reason this was not working is due to `Localhost` you apparently can't do this without having a online wordpress site.

WordPress is adding rel="nofollow" and target="_blank" to internal links in posts and pages
For some reason WordPress started to add rel="nofollow" and target="_blank" to some of my links in my posts and pages. Not to all my links but randomly.
I really dont know why because when I'm editing my post it is just a normal link without rel="nofollow" and target="_blank". Adding target="_self" or rel="dofollow" doesnt change anything.
Why is this hapening and how can I solve this problem? Anyone got the same problem and knows a solution?
Thanks in advance:)
This is an example page and I'm taling about the link "control panels" | When you place a link into a WordPress post or page the link window, where you specify where the link is to lead, has a check box for specifying that you want to open the link in a new window.
There is a similar box in the advanced settings tab of any graphical element you place in a post or page.
If one of those boxes is not checked on the "target= _blank" links then I would suspect a setting in one of your plugins, probably an SEO plugin.
The troubling part is the inconsistency. A plugin setting should be a consistent result. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Basic do shortcodes question
I used WordPress codex page to code. As you can see I have 2 PHP codes in my line. The page is able to get the code's value but it doesn't obey the CSS rules, which I believe, because I inserted my PHP codes in the wrong way.
Can you take a look at the following code and suggest to what the problem might be?
<?php echo do_shortcode('[groups_non_member group="VPS"]' ."<p class='vod-time-price'>" . the_field('run_t') . "MIN | $". the_field('price_per_r') ."</p>". '[/groups_non_member]'); ?> | `the_field()` is an ACF function and will `echo` content. It follows the WordPress (somewhat) pattern whereby functions with `the_` at the front will `echo` content and functions beginning with `get_` return content.
> Displays the value of the specified field. (this is the same as “echo get_field($field_name)”)
>
> <
Using the wrong function, as you have, will cause data to output in the wrong location. Use `get_the_field()` instead. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to merge two Wordpress themes?
I have a project in which I want to merge two wp themes, I have two themes in which one has a great interface i want to use this interface and second theme has a good functionality so I want to use that fuctionality with first theme, but I have no idea about this, can it be possible??? if yes how can I achieve this provide some refrence. | Milo is correct, it is a very broad question. That said, what you want to do is totally doable, BUT, it is going to take effort.
There is no easy way in mergin two themes into one. You will have to set up a completely new theme, and then you have to start to extract every little piece of code from these two themes, add it into your new theme and integrate them them to work in harmony.

Is author.php a core file?

Or is there some hook for this. | If you are talking about `author.php` in your theme directory, usually at `wp-content/themes/<YOURTHEMENAME>` this isn't a core file but part of your theme.
Themes don't get changed when WordPress is updated, so concerning WordPress updates themes are safe.
**But** if your theme isn't custom made by you (which I assume here) this file would be changed if you update your theme. So to be safe you should create a child theme as child themes make it possible to update the parent theme while keeping your child theme changes.

How to tell a theme to use different .mo and .po files?

Where does it store strings if changing .po files changes nothing? | There are already an `en_US.po` file in the theme you are using. You can simply make a copy of that file and rename it as `pl_PL.po`. You can now open the `pl_PL.po` template with poedit, do all your translations in there, and just save it.

Force wp_enqueue_scripts to the HEADER?

How can I force the scripts to be loaded in the header (I will notify users of the plugin that the plugin requires this)? | The normal behavior of `wp_enqueue_script` is to put the script output into the head section, the parameter `$in_footer` is optional and defaults to `false`. So, you can load jQuery with your plugin into the head and, assumed your dealing with well programmed themes/plugins, it won't load again, because `wp_enqueue_script` prevents this by default - additional information about that here. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

$wpdb->wp_users returning empty value for

SQL to update custom post taxonomies
I have a custom post "review". It uses the same categories and tags from default posts, so they share "category" and "tag" taxonomies.
But later I changed the "review" register to have their own taxonomies, "review-category", and "review-tag". Of course all tags and categories previously assigned on reviews was unbind from them.
So the question: how can I (if possible) convert all tags and categories only in reviews to the new taxonomies? If I wasn't clear enough:
UPDATE wp_term_taxonomy SET taxonomy='post-tag', parent=0 WHERE taxonomy='tag';
This can convert all "category" to "post-tag", but I need to do it only for reviews. Something like (it doesn't work):
SELECT FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type='review'(
UPDATE wp_term_taxonomy SET taxonomy='post-tag', parent=0 WHERE taxonomy='tag';
) | You will need to join four tables to get categories of custom post type "review"
1. wp_term_relationships
2. wp_posts
3. wp_term_taxonomy
4. wp_terms
by using following query you can get list of categories applied to your custom post type:
SELECT *
FROM wp_term_relationships AS tr
LEFT JOIN wp_posts AS p ON tr.object_id = p.ID
LEFT JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_taxonomy_id = tr.term_taxonomy_id
LEFT JOIN wp_terms AS t ON t.term_id = tt.term_id
WHERE p.post_type = 'review' AND tt.taxonomy = 'category';
and then update the type of these categories to your new custom category (i.e. "review-category")
UPDATE wp_term_taxonomy SET taxonomy = 'review-category' WHERE term_taxonomy_id IN (1, 71, 72);
change where clause according to your category ids.

function my_custom_description($text) {

Password recovery URL has error - but not found in code or db
On a multisite/network install, all of a sudden my password recovery URL has a problem:
http//my.domain.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
Note the lack of a colon following the 'http'.
A grep of the database and codebase does not reveal any culprits (although it must be in there somewhere). Any idea what might cause the problem? The site domain settings all seem correct.
Here's the multisite config:
/* Multisite */
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', '
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define( 'SUNRISE', 'on' ); | The solution was in the multisite settings in the `wp_site` table.
The `domain` field entry was set (probably manually during a change of domain names) to `" It should not have included the protocol, but just be a bare domain.
Wordpress adds another `" to the start of the domain, and then runs it through a text filter, which strips out the second `":"`. What I ended up with was `"
As a result I could not use grep to find the 'typo' in the code of database as it was generated on the fly.

What's an efficient way to change the post status of many posts at once?
I'm looking for an efficient way to change the post status on many posts at once. I have a custom post type that I'm using as a means to store content that must be approved by a moderator before being published. I'm trying to give the moderator the ability to "approve all" or "reject all" on a fairly large number of posts (100-200 would be common).
The best solution I've come up with is to make an ajax call that sends a list of post id's to the server, which loops through them calling the below function:
wp_update_post(array('ID'=> $post_id, 'post_status' => 'publish' ))
This results in a query to the DB for each post, however, and it's much slower than I'd like. Ideally, I'd be able to make a query that changes the post status to 'publish' on all of the post ID's in the list at once, but I can't find any means to do this. | What you are doing is the safe way, and the way I'd recommend. To my knowledge, there is no Core function to bulk update only single values in the `$wpdb->posts` table, so to do that you'd need to write your own SQL...
$ids = array(); // your IDs; I am assuming these to be validated and sanitized
$wpdb->query("UPDATE {$wpdb->posts} SET post_status = 'publish' WHERE ID IN (".implode(',',$ids)).")");
You might be able to do the same with `$wpdb->update` but I rarely use that method, so I am not sure. (A comment below indicates that it is not possible.) Check the Codex and play with it if you want.
**I would recommend not doing either** , though, and continuing to use `wp_update_post`. If you skip around the Core functions you also skip around numerous actions and filters, and may cause yourself unintended consequences or other frustrations later on. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can't access login page after password reset

Does anybody know what may be the cause of this ?
Thank you | This could be down to a number of reasons:
a) The browser you're having problems with is saving the old password and refusing access. This is why the other browser works when logging in with the new password. Try and reset the saved password to see if this solves the issue.
b) Your hosting provider has implemented an extra layer of security to avoid WordPress websites being hacked. Contact your host for more information.

The excerpt suffix won't go away
I want to show the post content until the more tag, or if there's no more tag than just first n words. Something really basic, right? Obviously I need to use `get_the_excerpt` function. But the problem is that this function is behaving strangely. It adds a suffix to the end, that nobody wants. And you can't remove it!
You could in the pas do this
But this no longer works, because Wordpress decided to give us even more bad time with this by changing `[...]` to something like `[…]`
Now you can't even `str_replace` or `rtrim` that `[…]`. Trust me I tried.
The solution from here works, but this only cuts text after n words. It ignores the more tag.
Another way would be to use `get_the_content`, but that just shows the full post content even if I select Summary in the Settings -> Reading.
So please, what am I missing here? | The excerpt has a maximum lenght of 55 words, so even if you try to cut your text at say 70 words, `the_excerpt()` will ignore that and only show 55 words.
To remove`[...]` from the read more tag, simply find `the_content()` and replace it with `the_content('',FALSE,'');`. You can also use `the_content('Read more...');` to display a text after the read more tag, in this case `Read more...`.
If you need to remove `[...]` from the excerpt, you can do this in your functions.php
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
global $post;
return '';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

Link posts to pages for breadcrumbs
Is there a way of linking custom post types to pages.
I am looking to create breadcrumbs for the posts.
The posts are summarised on individual pages e.g. golf, tennis, football etc..
So the Breadcrumb Structure inside the post will be:
Home / Tennis / "Post Title"
When clicking on Tennis - it should lead to the Tennis page I have created which summarises all tennis events. | You need to go and have a look at template hierarchy for custom post types. I believe your custom post type is tennis. So you would make a copy of your theme's `archive.php` template and call it `archive-tennis.php` You can now style that template to your liking.
Just remember, you don't need to add or change any specific code inside your new template to specify your CPT. Wordpress will exactly know it should use `archive-tennis.php` when the custom post type tennis is clicked | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Custom Template for more than 1 Tag

As this image shows the template hierarchy let me create the tag template easily, giving to the page the name or the id of the tag. But i want to create 1 template tag for a great number of tags (instead of making 1 template for every different tag), and another template tag for the remaining one. | Here's an example that "abuses" the tag description field to store a template name for the tag. We use the `tag_template` filter to get the tag description if it exists and include a template file with the description as part of the name.

function wpd_tag_template( $templates = '' ){
$tag = get_queried_object();
if( !empty( $tag->description ) ){
$templates = locate_template( 'custom-tag-' . $tag->description . '.php', false );
}
return $templates;
}
add_filter( 'tag_template', 'wpd_tag_template' );

Apply code for all else first block

));
In this cod will add every widget attribute `style="visibility: hidden;"`, but i need to add this attribute for all widget else first widget.
How can do that by php or JQuery. | I believe that what you want to do would better be done with CSS rules in your stylesheet rather than with an embedded `style` tag that you dynamically manipulate with PHP.
Remove `style="visibility: hidden;"` from your `register_sidebar` argument and use something like the following instead (Proof of Concept):
<html>
<head>
<style>
.aclass { visibility:hidden }
.aclass:first-child { visibility:visible }
</style>
</head>
<body><?php
for ($i = 1; $i < 5; $i++) {
echo '<div class="aclass">'.$i.'</div>';
} ?>
<body>
</html>
That is purely to make the two necessary rules apparent. You can run that code to get a feel for things if you'd like. You will need to swap `aclass` for the class you need to target-- either `siderbar` or `box_outer` I presume. And you probably want to write the rules into your main stylesheet. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Hide specific parent categories from post edit

In this screenshot for example I'd only like "Download Categories" to show while I'm in my custom post type "downloads".
!enter image description here | Probably you're making a wrong use of taxonomies. Instead of using only the _Categories_ taxonomy, you should create several **Custom Taxonomies**.

'downloadcategory',
'downloads',

'label' => 'Download Categories',
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'downloadcategory' ),
)

</div><!-- .entry-summary -->
<?php else : ?>

Remote database -> massive response time increase?
I have nginx web server running newest WordPress and DB server running MySQL 5.6 There is around 90-100ms latency(round-trip delay) between those 2 servers.
The problem is that It takes about 5000 ms to get response from my web-server if I access DB remotely.(The connection is encrypted by SSL)
In comparison it takes about 200 ms if I access MySQL locally(web-server & MySQL installed on one single machine).
1\. Why is that ? Is it because WP has multiple MySQL queries per page and waits for each and every one to complete ? Therefore it adds up : 100+100+100+100..=5000ms ?
2\. Can WP be modified to request from MySQL asynchronously, in order to reduce waiting time for request to be successful?
Thank you. :) | Yes
90-100ms round trip + time to prepare SQL statement + time to execute statement + time to send results back multiplied by the number of times you need to query the database.
Sure the connection may stay open but it's an inherently expensive thing to do.
Considering that some setups can respond in full in less than 100ms never mind the database connection, you should look into co-locating your database and your server, if not on to the same machine but somewhere very very close.
WordPress specific things that may help include:
* Object caches
* Database query caching
* fewer SQL queries
* Use of transients to store the results of expensive operations

Multi-image upload doesn't work
I just installed Gravity Forms 1.8 and made a form with a multi-upload field.
The field shows up alright, but the field just, doesn't works. Clicking the Select Files does nothing, and dragging files in the zone only opens the file in my browser.

What could prevent the field from working? | The most common cause of the multi-file upload field failing to function is the scripts being included down in the footer when they should be up in the header.

Why doesn't this code add a table to my database?

Make A WordPress Page Accessible To Admins Only, Redirect Other User Roles

Rewrite Page with a slug before page name

using $wp_rewrite->non_wp_rules, how can I make pages work the same way.
This is just an example:

Is there a way I can have a page look like this:

'^anothername/([^/]*)/?',
'index.php?pagename=$matches[1]',
'top'
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpd_page_rewrite' );
For parent/child pages you have to set `pagename` to the parent/child path, `page/pagename`, or you can also use `page_id` and use the page's ID.

How to completely disable a taxonomy archive on the frontend?

$args['query_var'] = false;
$args['public'] = false;

Wrapping images in tags based on size
I am making a site for a client where all the thumbnails on a page need to be styled differently than regular sized images. Right now I have a snippet of code I found that allows me to wrap every image inserted into a post in a div, but I would like to only wrap the thumbnails.
Code:
function filter_images($content){
return preg_replace('/<img (.*) \/>\s*/iU', '<div class="post-thumb"><img \1 /></div>', $content);
}
add_filter('the_content', 'filter_images');
Is there a way I can do this? | You can wrap specific sizes in arbitrary html when they're inserted into post content via the `image_send_to_editor` filter.
Here we check if `$size` is `thumbnail` and wrap it in a div, otherwise we just return the unaltered `$html`:
function wpd_wrap_thumbnails( $html, $id, $caption, $title, $align, $url, $size, $alt ){
if( 'thumbnail' == $size ){
return '<div class="circle">' . $html . '</div>';
}
return $html;
}
add_filter( 'image_send_to_editor', 'wpd_wrap_thumbnails', 10, 8 );

How to understand a specific bit of Wordpress syntax
I am changing a theme in Wordpress, and in an earlier theme, there was something like this that added a an email signup widget to the page:
[green_tick_1_list width="100%"]

And what is that syntax? Is that something I can create in WordPress per each theme I use? | That's a Shortcode.
It may be possible to find the function that renders that shortcode and copy/paste it into your own plugin, making it theme-independent, however, how easy that will be to do depends on how the shortcode works- if it depends on additional php functions, JavaScript, and CSS embedded within the theme. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Access Wordpress database outside of Wordpress
MAIN QUESTION:
I am writing a wp plugin. Within it, I have a page located here:
How do I access WP database from this page? Is there any official, proper way that won't break with updates? Or any reliable way at all?

As a second possibility (not preferred) - I was thinking maybe my plugin could create a wordpress page, which then would be somewhere like:
Is this possible? And how would it react to user's changes of permalinks settings? | In a nutshell there is no generic reliable way to load WordPress core from arbitrary file. Since core and extensions directories are independent from each other (they are co-located by default, not by necessity) only core configuration "knows" where extensions are, but not other way around.
In private code things like this just get hardcoded. In public code this is pretty much undoable properly.
If it's not critical for you to modify core load process then custom URL is definitely way to go. Implemented via Rewrite API from scratch or as endpoint it will be reasonably reliable. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do I display the posts from a custom post type on a category.php page?
I have set up a `category.php` according to this wordpress hierarchy diagram.
When I am on the page < I want to display all posts that are under `my-category` using the loop:
<?php if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
Wordpress is not showing the posts. I will also add that this is a custom post type, but that shouldn't matter or should it?
I can use `get_posts()` but then what is the point of having a `category.php`?
How do I show the posts in the current category using `the_loop`? | > I will also add that this is a custom post type, but that shouldn't matter.
In fact, this _is_ your problem.
By default, the Category Archive Index will only query posts from the `post` post-type. You need to tell WordPress to do otherwise, by adding your custom post type to the query via `pre_get_posts`:
function wpse140419_add_cpt_to_category_archive( $query ) {
// Only modify the main query
// on the category archive index page
if ( $query->is_category() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
// Add CPT to the query
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'your-cpt-slug' ) );
}

wp_get_attachment_image_src() and custom sizes
As said in this page, `wp_get_attachment_image_src()`only accepts built-in sizes such as thumbnail, medium, large or full.
How do you get the same return value with custom sizes you add with `add_image_sizes()` ? | You are misreading the Codex. `wp_get_attachment_image_src()` works just fine with custom image sizes.
Proof of concept:
// copied from the Codex
//
if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) {
add_image_size( 'category-thumb', 300, 9999 ); //300 pixels wide (and unlimited height)
add_image_size( 'homepage-thumb', 220, 180, true ); //(cropped)
}
Add an image to the Library, then...
$image_attributes = wp_get_attachment_image_src( 28, 'category-thumb' );
var_dump($image_attributes);
You will notice that the image returned is (an appromixation of) 300x9999-- that is 300 wide by whatever height scales correctly. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Edit the excerpt before it is shown
I'm looking for a way the edit the excerpt before it get's show on the page.
The issue is this: We import data (jobs) for a third party provider and the content is divided in sections with each a header (e.g. the first one is "Introduction"). The issue now is that in the overview with the post, each excerpt looks like "Introduction. Lorem Ipsum". So I want to manipulate the data to remove "Introduction."
Are there any hooks in WordPress that I can utilize to either edit the data before shown, or is there a function that I can overwrite that display's `the_excerpt()`?
I'm using a child theme of a theme we bought and would prefer to not mess with the core files. | Well, I found it:

Memory needed to host 200 wordpress sites?
I'm planning to use Multisite to host 200 different wordpress blog with each having their own unique subdomain. I notice each time I create a virtual host for each subdomain it'll use roughly 50mb ram. So if 50mb * 200 sites = 10GB RAM correct me if wrong is 10GB of RAM needed to host 200 sites? if possible is there solutions to decrease ram usage? | The actual RAM you need depends on many factors:
* plugins
* theme
* installed extensions (server and PHP)
* the current operation (editing images needs the most)
* translation, some translation files are really heavy
In a multisite, some resources are shared, the server setup for example is not duplicated each time you create a new site.

Changing permalink name redirects to another template?
I'm creating a template with a few templates with names `page-contact.php`, `page-portfolio.php` and `page-blog.php`.

Why is that, why is the URL telling WordPress what template to use if a Default one i chosen? Is this intended behavior? | Yes, this is the intended behaviour:
> page-{slug}.php - If the page slug is recent-news, WordPress will look to use page-recent-news.php

How do I count columns on a custom WPDB query?
How would I count the columns of a custom `WPDB` query?
This does work although I need a different kind of output:
$sql_assoc = "SELECT * FROM test";
$num_cols = count((array) current($sql_assoc));
echo $num_cols;
OUTPUT:
47
But what I would want is every `column`+the total as output, like so:
`4712345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940414243444546`
Usually you'd accomplish this by doing the following but of course this won't work in wordpress or at least I have no idea how to use `field_count` in wordpress since outputting query results of a custom `WPDB` goes differently like so in PHP:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM test"
if($result = $mysqli->query($sql))
{
$numcol = $mysqli->field_count;
} | This is not possible.

Make different sites on multisite reference same script

<

But they both reference the same file. I'd like them to be both something like:
<
That way it would save people having to download the same file again even though they already have it cached locally. This question is the same question but the solution isn't up to date. Does anyone have any ideas of code or any plugins that might help solve ?
Thanks | Hi this is what I did to solve it:
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'change_src' );
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'change_src' );
function change_src( $url )
{
if( is_admin() ) return $url; // Don't filter admin area
return str_replace( site_url(), 'www.mysite.com/mydefaultnetworksite', $url );
}
I'm using both those filters because I want it to apply to script and stylesheet urls. The function just looks for the site url, rips it out and replaces it with a hardcoded version of the url I want all the sites scripts / stylesheets to point to.

apply_filters('the_content') - make it ignore shortcodes?
I am using `apply_filters('the_content)` so I can see properly formatted content inside my wp editor in the backend.
However, this also renders the shortcode that's in the content.
I want it to ignore the shortcode and apply filtering to the rest of the content, basically the same thing as when making posts. If you view post content in the backend, you will see the shortcode, but if you view it inside a page on your website, you will see the rendered shortcode (its result).

Call this right before you're actually using `the_content`, and add it afterwards (in the unlikely case that it's needed after that):
