Display post from specific date
How do I display posts by a specific date? If it is 15 July today, it'll display posts from about two or three days ago, like the 12th of July's posts. And tomorrow it'll display the 13th of July's post.
How can I achieve this? | I think if you want to show recent posts posted 2-3 days ago, you can use date queries, provided by WordPress
You can get more information about date queries from here: WordPress Date Queries
For Example: If you want to show last three days posts, it can be done using the following snippet of code:
//set the arguments
$args = array(
'order' => 'DESC',
'date_query' => array(
array(
'after' => '3 days ago',
),
),
);
// get posts using the arguments
$posts = get_posts($args);
The above will return an array of posts from last 3 days to the current day. You can also use it like: 3 days ago, 1 week ago etc. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Taxonomy archive 404ing (not term archive)
I may have just dug too deep into WordPress lately that I am not able to free my head & don't get this working as supposed to do.
I want a simple taxonomy archive listing all taxonomy terms (not a term's archive), while it only 404s on my end.
This is how it is set up: I have a CPT **'travel'** and a taxonomy called **'actions'** that classify different kind of travel options (e.g. by bike, sailing etc.). Term archives (with a taxonomy-actions.php template) work just fine. The URL is like www.domain.com/actions/by-bike. However, when I try to pull the taxonomy archive, which should then be located at www.domain.com/actions, I get a 404. Is there something basic I am missing or doing wrong? Isn't the taxonomy-actions.php supposed to be used for the taxonomy archive in the first place? | There is no concept of an archive of _terms_ in WordPress. Archives are collections of _posts_ , The Loop only outputs posts.
If you want a page listing all terms in a taxonomy, create a page, assign it a custom page template, and output the taxonomy's terms via one of the API functions, like `get_terms`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Do we have to use ftp to recover from a bad functions.php edit?
Just tried to make an edit to the functions.php on my site. As is often the case, wp didn't like it and threw a fit, locking me out of making any further changes.
So now I have to use ftp to edit out the offending code.
You could argue I should be more careful / expert at coding, but the question is:
Isn't there an easier way to recover from messing up with a functions.php edit than having to ftp? | Here's a much better solution: Don't edit the theme's functions.php file. Don't put your custom code into that file either.
If you have snippets of code for a site, put them into a custom plugin. Put each one into its own plugin, in fact. Separate them by functionality.
I even made a handy dandy plugin to make this easier, called Pluginception.
The nice thing about editing plugins in the WordPress plugin edit screen: If you screw it up and cause a fatal error, WordPress will detect it and disable the plugin. This might break your site, but it probably won't break the admin screens and you can fix your error and reactivate the plugin.
Don't worry about the number of plugins. That's totally irrelevant. The code is what matters. The code has the same impact whether you put in a bunch of easily separated plugins or whether you shove it all together into one functions.php file that is dangerous to edit. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How many Wordpress SQL Queries per page?
I am on a shared hosting which has a limitation at MySQL queries per hour. My shows unable to connect to database because of this.
Can anyone tell me how many queries are per page on a wordpress site with default theme instaled on?
PS: I haven't any plugin installed. | Wordpress uses a lot of plugins and is very query heavy but the in spite of that, the front page uses `59 queries` to generate itself. I think the default (on a vanilla WordPress install on the default theme) is `27 or something of that nature`. The larger the number of queries, the slower the page is going to load and the more load you are going to put on your MySql server.

Register users by e-mail

Programmatically log in a wordpress user

Custom fields doesnt work well with any postTAB plugin
Here is my problem: I tried to implement custom fields (text) within a post tab. I tried many post tab plugins and the imlementation to template was succesfull... Unfortunately, the content of the custom field is showing always on TOP of the content and not inside... I tried eveything and every plugin, still same issue. I tried so far: WP UI, Post UI, Easy responsive tabs, everything.
My following code:
<?php
$tabContent = the_field('kotoba');
echo do_shortcode('[restabs alignment="osc-tabs-left" responsive="false"]
[restab title="Tab number 1" active="active"]'.$tabContent.'[/restab]
[restab title="Tab number 1" active="active"]'. the_field('text_field').'[/restab]
[restab title="Tab number 4"]Tab 4 content goes here.[/restab][/restabs]');
?> | Well, you use ACF for your custom field, right?
In that case, replace the function "the_field" in your code with "get_field".
the_field echoes the field already, so the field is echoed before your tab shortcodes return from the function do_shortcode and get echoed, which results in "having the content of the field before the tab" stuff.

Get all categories of custom post even not assigned
I know how to get all categories with `get_categories` and name custom taxonomy name, but wordpress only shows those categories those are assigned to a post. Those which are created, but not assigned, will not show up with any of these methods.

I am working in a admin panel to show all categories in a drop down list in a custom post type. | > I know how to get all categories with `get_categories`
I think you've missed some of the arguments in `get_categories`. By default, empty categories (categories without posts) are hidden
'hide_empty' => 1,

if (is_admin())

Reading your question, I came across " `Actually, I have created two custom post type named 'truck' and 'drivers'` ".
**Issue:** Linking two post types requires extra work as you are doing because natively it is not what Wordpress does.
**Suggested Solution:** Do it, the way WP works naturally: `Link a Custom Post Type to a taxonomy`. So, instead of having 'truck' and 'drivers' as CPTs, have 'drivers' as CPT and 'trucks' as taxonomy! That saves you tons of work, and especially the risk of running into issues should WP Update.
You can then create the custom functionality of dragging and dropping on CPT and taxonomy | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress MU users - how are they organized?
WP and WP MU are a bit different, for example in users.
I'm not sure that I understand user functionality correctly. Tell me please what are the differences between WP and WP MU users?
For example I know that MU-users register only once on the main site of a network (ie they shouldn't register on each subsite). Also I know that a user can eighter have or not have a subsite. And know that there is a possibility to add a user to a certain subsite. It seems that's all I know :)
Is it possible for user to register oneself on a certain subsite (but not only in the network in general) to be already automatically assigned to a certain subsite right after registration? How? What is a possibility to add a user to a certain subsite for? Can I delete a user from a certain site? And so on... | The conceptual difference between users in a standalone site and a network site is that in a network the users do not belong to the site but to the network itself are are being automatically logged in into all the network site once they login to one. Most of the time the difference can be ignored but there are some edge cases in which the differences come to like, like trying to make an anonymous comment when you are logged in to the network.
In a network you don't add users to a site but only to the network, then you give them permission to do some actions on the site they were registered for. In a standalone registration implies automatically some permissions.
This implies that as a subsite admin in a network you can not modify a user as it is not the sites user but the network's one. The most that can usually be done is to change the users permissions for that subsite. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Downgrade admin account by mistake
I made a huge mistake changing my admin account role from 'administrator' to 'Basic User'. Don't know what to do. Any suggestions how should I proceed to retrieve my account role back again, please? | Usually, this should help:
1. Open your database (with phpmyadmin, navicat, etc)
2. Open the wp_user table and have a look for the ID of your admin user (usually 1)
3. Open the wp_usermeta table and search for the row that has the user_id of your user
4. paste the following string into the meta_value field of the row:
`a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}`
that should be it: login again and the user should be administrator again.
One advice though: Some plugins put their admin rights into that field too - those are lost after that. But deactivating/activating of the plugins could solve that.
Best way to avoid all that: Create a new user in the user table and give this user the new rights. With the new admin user you could give the old admin user the admin status back again.

Declaring its format to be `%s` means it is sanitized and put in quotes, making it something like `'NOW()'` which MySQL probably sees as very invalid timestamp.

For better digital journalism, how to store a second title and excerpt?
This is a digital journalism issue. As the technology evolves, digital journalism has found new best practises. One of them is to always write a predictive title, combined with a good excerpt. This predictive title, however, lacks that "x factor" that a non predictive title has. A great example is the news published by Time about Microsoft that will cut 18.000 jobs in the next year.
The proper title of the news is "Microsoft to Cut Up to 18,000 Jobs", but on the home page the opening title was "Ctrl-Alt-Del". Simple, catchy.
So, we want to be able to create two titles and two excerpts inside a post. What should be the most effective and less resource consuming solution? Two meta values that I use only on the front-page.php?
I don't want to add to much weight to the post queries. Any pointers? | Custom fields are perfectly suited for this purpose. WP Ref. IF the metabox titled Custom Fields is not visible on your post edit screen, you may need to enable the view with the Screen Options menu at the top right of your editor.
For each post, simply create the secondary title and assign it a value.
Where you would like this information to display, (front-page.php template, based on your example) you are able to make use of pre-built WP functions such as the_meta() or get_post_meta() for output.
The meta_key is the name for your secondary title and meta_value is the actual title itself.
This method is useful for additional information you may also wish to input with each news post.
If you prefer a plugin over custom coding, I would recommend Elliot Condon's Advanced Custom Fields. This plug-in brings powerful features to non-developers with very little overhead. WP plugin directory link | stackexchange-wordpress | {

retrieve post data and insert it in seperate static html page without Wordpress
I have a blog which runs on Wordpress and inside the Wordpress environment I'm fine and know how to display specific blogposts etc.
But beside I want to insert specific Blog-posts in a static HTML Website which doesn't have a CMS and is standalone. Imagine the simplest case of
<body>
<p class="blogpost"> <!-- insert specific blogpost of my blog on static website --> </p>
</body>
is there any possible chance to retrieve a blogpost of Wordpress by PHP without running the site on Wordpress?
Any clue how to start with? | You can try using the JSON API plugin.
It has endpoints for latest posts etc that can be accessed via jQuery, I use it to power mobile apps that use WordPress for content management. You also have the ability to create your own endpoints if the defaults don't give you what you need.

Get a variable from object in array
I'm trying to `echo` `get_the_category($id)[0]->slug` and this works on localhost but not on the server.
The error is

Is there a workaround? | Probably your hosting server has a different and older version of php so this syntax is not supported.
The above syntax is implemented in PHP 5.4.
You have to do it like this:
$category = get_the_category($id);

Problem to show custom post type in archive page category wise
I was facing problem to show custom post type post category wise. Then i found to solve the problem . i wrote below code in function page :
function my_blog_category( $query ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive( 'blog') && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$action = (isset($_REQUEST['ac'])) ? $_REQUEST['ac'] : 'none';
if($action!='none') $query->set( 'category_name', $action );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_blog_category' );
So when I click
> local/wp/index.php/blog?ac=company-news
it shows all company-new category's post. But main problem is that I upload all file to website server. Now filter is not working on my webserver. There I click
> Mydomain/index.php/blog?ac=company-news
it show all post, not filter by category. I don't why it not work on my live web server . | You need to check the information that their is in action variable.
$action = (isset($_REQUEST['ac'])) ? $_REQUEST['ac'] : 'none';
var_dump("action: "+$action);
With this line, you will be able to review it's content and you will see that you don't get the correct information. I guess that your dev database is out off synch with your local one.

What are the hierarchy of filenames while initialising a WordPress plugin?
WordPress has recommended to have the filename similar to the name of the plugin. There is no other information about the hierarchy of filenames of a WordPress Plugin. Also I don't find plugins following any rule for naming the file which initialises the WordPress plugin.
Most of the plugins use the filename as my-custom-plugin.php. Some plugins use the filename as my_custom_plugin.php, some as bootstrap.php and some as loader.php. And I even saw one plugin having filenames like my-custom-plugin.php and loader.php, where loader.php initialises the plugin not my-custom-plugin.php.
How it works? How WordPress looks for the file which initialises the plugin? | Wordpress looks for the Plugin Header in the php files. The main Plugin file should have a header like this:
<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: Name Of The Plugin
* Plugin URI:
* Description: A brief description of the Plugin.
* Version: The Plugin's Version Number, e.g.: 1.0
* Author: Name Of The Plugin Author
* Author URI:
* License: A "Slug" license name e.g. GPL2

When moving a WP site, why does wp-admin redirect to old site?
I am in the process of moving a WP site from one host to another. I copied the database and all the files, created a new database and imported the old one. I then changed the wp-config file. The home page shows fine, but when I try to access /wp-admin it takes me back to the old site.
The new site is a dev server where I plan to make style changes before I take the site live.
What am I missing about this transition? How do I get the site to respond to the dev url correctly? | If this is a single WordPress install, there are a couple database entries with your old domain. Specifically, `siteurl` and `home` within `wp_options`.
That said, if the dev URL is temporary, you can also set the following two constants in `wp-config.php`:
define('WP_HOME', ' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
define('WP_SITEURL', WP_HOME . '/');

Exclude some categories from the post page
I have created a page called "videos", this is set as the post page where all post should show up. That´s fine, but I want to exclude all posts from two of the sites categories.
I tried this code, but it´s not working it´s the right page id and the right category id´s.
function exclude_category($query) {
if(is_page(41)){
$query->set('cat', '-42, -43');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category'); | Yes your code will fail, but not because the above answer, but because this isn't the page you ask for.
As you wrote, you set the page "videos" to be the page where all the posts are shown.
When a page is set as a blogpage, Wordpress will use home.php or index.php according to the template hierarchy to display the blogpage, not a page template. This page is regarded as the home page, so `is_home()` will return true on this page
So, to exclude the categories, you need to use this conditional:
function exclude_category($query) {
if(is_home()){
$query->set('cat', '-42, -43');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');

How to modify how the_content outputs a link to an internal page

Thank you | I'm in a hurry so don't have time to provide any code, pseudo or otherwise, but you could probably do this in the `the_content` filter by using a regex to find all links and for each one find the page/post ID using `url_to_postid` and then replacing as appropriate.

For basic example — what if one of your authors writes PHP code in a post which amounts to "make me site's administrator"?
While WP plugins implementing this do exist, this is almost never good idea, especially at multi–author site.

Why does my delete_post hook get called twice
Here is how I've implemented it:
add_action( 'delete_post', array( 'MyClassName', 'delete' ) );
In the delete function I was using a $wpdb->insert command to see whether the function gets called. But I see that the $wpdb->insert command is called twice (inserts two rows in my table). Any ideas as to why something like this might happen?
I've also attempted to use the before_delete_post hook since it doesn't really make a difference to me but I get the same outcome.
EDIT:
It seems as though the delete function is called for each entry in the wp_posts table for some reason. So if the post has 3 revisions, the delete function will be called 4 times (the original post + 3 revisions). This is really weird behavior. | I found my solution.
The function you hook into delete_post (or probably any other similar hook) executes as many times as needed. Considering delete_post needs to delete the post and all of its revisions, it will always run more than once. In order to avoid having your function execute each time WordPress deletes a record from the database you can use did_action( $hook ). This function returns the number of times the hook executed. With this in consideration, we can fix our multiple-executions problem by placing this condition into our function:
if (did_action('delete_post') === 1)
{
// execute code here

So any one would help me in this regard. | As I already mentioned in my comments, you must use `pre_get_posts` to add custom post types to archive pages.
One thing you must keep in mind here though, you have two archive pages here, archive.php and archive-event.php, so `is_archive()` is going to return true on both, which will alter both pages.

The problem Is that is not loading any content, altought it's english version does: link
I'm not getting any console errors so can't find where the problem is.
!enter image description here
The only difference I see is that the spanish page has :
<body class="page page-id-584 page-template page-template-tienda-page-php logged-in admin-bar woocommerce woocommerce-page customize-support">
and the english version has :
<body class="archive post-type-archive post-type-archive-product logged-in admin-bar woocommerce woocommerce-page customize-support">
It is exactly the same page, just translated to english, any ideas what could be the problem? | Reset your permalink from admin site. you may get page if there is a conflation with permalink. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Do we have to santise html passing into Javascript ? How?
I am passing a `<ul><li></li><ul>` to jquery .html() method and it works.
I am assigning the html to a varaible and passing to .html() method .
As some security scans suggest me to use `esc_html` on that variable.
But if i use it breaks the menu as it is not rendering html , just printing it as text.
So my question is -Do i have to sanitize HTML when i am passing it to Javascript , which is written by me ?? How ? | No, in fact sanitizing the string you listed would remove the HTML. The sanitizing functions are meant for user inputted data like a form submission. You can't always trust the information they pass through. Sometimes hackers may input malicious code that would be executed on your site after submission if you did not run it through a sanitizing function first. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

My php code is not being executed

How to print partial URL after #?

Wordpress Page doesn't load the template selected

jQuery HoverIntent is not a function
I am working on a site that uses jQuery for a number of functions but I am having a repeating error:

Have two (permalinks) urls for a same custom post type

How to keep non-breaking spaces in the visual editor?
I often add ` ` between connecting words so they break down together to a new line in important text. Switching to visual tab then back to text tab removes these. What can I do to keep them and avoid TinyMCE removing them?
I found this but not sure how to apply it to WordPress: <
My ugly solutions would be using a different custom string between words__like__this then later replacing them to ` ` in PHP, before display. Or just typing it on the visual tab, which translates to `&nbsp;` but then converting them with PHP. | This seems to do it:

What exactly do this function declared into functions.php file of a WP theme?

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_featured_tag' );
I think that it is used to automatically call the previous function what a specific event happen...is it right? what event? can you help me to understand how exactly work?
Tnx | The last line tells WP to run this function on the `pre_get_posts` hook. That hook is the ideal place to modify the main query that will be run in order to build the page. In this case, `exclude_featured_tag()` checks whether WP is loading the home page, and whether it's about to call the main query for the page (as opposed to any other secondary queries being run). Then it modifies the query (`$query->set()`) to NOT include any post that has tag of `ID OF THE FEATURED TAG`.

But I am finding some difficulties to understand what name I have to use for the file that implement this page.
Can you help me?
Tnx | A custom template for one specific category should be named `category-slug.php` where "slug" is the WP slug for the category. WordPress will automatically use this file to display the archive for that one category.
You could also name it using the ID of the category.
If your category is "legacy-posts", then your template file should be named `category-legacy-posts.php`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I access my posts on my wordpress site, now I've lost the domain name for it?
I wrote some posts for a wordpress site I've got, unforunately I couldn't renew the domain name in time, so I want to access the text in those posts, and put it into my new site, how can I do that? I can access the site via my cpanel and IP for the site, and I can see the WP files there but I don't know where the post data is? | The posts in WordPress are stored in a `MySQL database`. There are several ways to access a `MySQL database`, but the most common way is that your web host provides access to a tool called `PHPMyAdmin`. This is a web application that allows you to manage your `MySQL database`, including making an `SQL dump`. An SQL dump is a file with the data of your `MySQL database`. It is possible to import the `SQL dump` in your new database.
Basically, when you install WordPress on your new domain, you should be able to reset your new database and import your `SQL dump` again.
For information on how to do this, contact your web host - some use other software than `PHPMyAdmin`.

Alternative to query->set that appends conditions instead of overriding
I am applying a taxonomy condition to the main query in my plugin which is excludes an array of post formats from it.
It's being done as follows:
$query->set('tax_query', array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'post_format', // Post formats are queried as taxonomies
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => self::$formats,
'operator' => 'NOT IN'
)
));
This is working - the post formats are being excluded as I wanted them to. However the problem is that if any `tax_query` condition was specified before, then it would be overridden and lost in space and time.
Is there any way I can append my `tax_query` condition without losing overriding all conditions before it? | `$query->set` isn't the only method.
What you want is `$query->get`. Using `get` you can retrieve your existing value, append the additional part you wanted, then set the query variable with the new argument
$tax_query = $query->get( 'tax_query' );
// add the extra parameter
$query->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );

What is best practice for writing/using custom PHP classes in a theme?
I want to use a custom PHP class in my theme, however I am not sure where to add it.
Is there best practice used by the community for including PHP classes with a theme or is that an individual developer's decision?
The first class I want to add is a custom menu Walker, however there will be more, and they will be tied to my theme.
I am split between creating them in separate PHP files versus adding them to functions.php - or maybe there is any other ways please?
Many thanks in advance for your input.
Katrina | Ultimately it's about maintainability and readability. Functions.php is good for adding just that - functions. Small snippets of code that modify or add to the theme. When you start getting into classes or building some kind of framework, you need to start separating your concerns whether that be moving them into a plugin or simply including your class files into the theme and keeping a well organized directory.

Issues with Wordpress permalinks

What's the point of using Wordpress's built in admin-ajax.php?
I'm trying to understand why using admin-ajax.php is advantageous over doing something like this:
add_action ('wp_loaded', 'my_ajax');
function my_ajax() {
// Do Ajax, Check $_POST
die();
}
With the JQuery ajax just pointing to the blog's index.
admin-ajax.php seems rather convoluted to do something simple, with having to register scripts and add hooks and set up a js variable url to point to the admin-ajax.php and then with wp_ajax_nopriv_ vs wp_ajax_. Not to mention it's kind of weird that back end is being mixed with the front end. I'm pretty sure there's an analogy there.
So why use it? Does admin-ajax.php have less overhead? Is it purely a standards thing? Is there something magical about it? What do you miss out by not using it? | First, like many things in WordPress, it's not like someone decided "let's make this neat and convenient". It was more like someone slapped it together for something, then it got used more in admin, then it got used a lot in admin, then it became kind of practice to use it for non-admin as well. Or something along these lines.
Second, it's not as much _what_ it does, as _knowing_ that it always does same thing. You have _no_ idea what request to the arbitrary part of front end is doing. What if analytics plugin is running, counting it as page view? What if there is complex redirect logic that handles seasonal URLs? What if, what if...
Ajax endpoint is _meant_ for ajax:
* it declares `DOING_AJAX` constant for context, many things look for it to skip doing whatever they are doing
* it sets up HTTP headers and stuff
* it gives you basic code organization convention, including user/anonymous distinction | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Retrieve data from post meta meta_key having '_product_fq_image' while having author_id and post type is PRODUCT

I have tried this

'author' => 5,
'post_type' = 'product',
'posts_per_page'=>-1

How to prevent people from seeing an attachment to a scheduled post that's released in future?
I'm developing a website for a large corporation. They release financial documents on specific dates and times. I've developed a custom form to upload these pdfs to articles, and custom loops that display only these attachments on specific pages. When the date of the article is set in the future, the attachments are released when they should and the system works pretty well.
The only thing is, that for the company it's super-important that there is no access to the attachment-files before the date when it's supposed to come out. So if anyone can guess the name of the attachment they can just go to wp-content/uploads/financialdocument10.pdf and read it before it's supposed to come out.
Is there any ideas how to prevent this? My only idea so far is to add some random characters to the file name so it's impossible to deduce it's name on the the basis of previous filenames.

How to make pages metabox display all hierarchy in menu admin?
Running WP 3.9.1
I've got lots of pages and sub pages.
When I get to create menu lots of sub pages doesn't display on the right level, but some do?
This is how the pages metabox is displayed
The pages metabox should display something more like this
* * *
**_EDIT_**
Number in screenshot are a bit screwed sorry about that.
The problem is after the first few all the pages are displayed on the same level but they shouldn't.
It should look like this
* Page 1
* SubPage A of Page 1
* SubPage B of Page 1
* SubPage 1 of SubPage B
* SubPage 2 of SubPage B
* SubPage 3 of SubPage B
* Page 2
* SubPage A of Page 2
* SubPage 1 of SubPage A
* SubPage 2 of SubPage A
* SubPage B of Page 2
* SubPage 1 of SubPage B
* SubPage 2 of SubPage B
...

Wrong category being displayed in URL
I'm a newbie to wordpress so please bear with me. I have two categories I'm using, basketball and baseball. I've only recently added the baseball category and if I add a new post with category baseball, in the URL, the post displays /basketball/post-name regardless of what I do.

.htaccess regex for redirect subdomain to root domain & redirect old permalinks
ok, i have at site a blog.mysite.com, and recently migrated all content to a new wp install at mysite.com.

Is there a way for a plugin to add an attribute to the <html> tag of a theme?

However, I can't see a way of filtering the output of the `get_header()` function either via the `get_header()` action or `load_template()` function.
If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate help. | You can probably use the `language_attributes` filter (from the `language_attributes()` function) to add it.

{
return "{$attr} manifest=\"manifest.appcache\"";
} );

add_filter( 'language_attributes', 'wpse140730_add_manifest_to_language_attributes' );

User agent stylesheet distorting site
