making available just some parts of theme option
I'm just starting to understand and learn about how Wordpress works. Now i'm trying to build a simple website (6 pages, gallery, slideshow) by using a downloaded from wordpress.org. The theme that I'm using has slideshow support in `Theme Options` section, but I'll like to hide the fact that i'm using that theme, or to replicate its functionality.
I'm thinking that maybe I can add a custom post type, but I'm too new to wp and I'm scared. Also, I was thinking that I can use some plugins like `members` in order to block some users access to the themes, but to allow access only to theme options section. With this plugin I can only hide access to entire Appearance section.
I'm looking forward for your advice.
ps: I don't know if it really matters or not, but the theme that I'm using is `thbusiness`. | It seems like you're actually asking three questions here; it's likely your question will be put on hold because of this. Why do you need to add a custom post type?
If you're interested in learning how to develop for WP you can skip the plugin for members and instead read the WP Codex entry on user roles and capabilities; this will let you limit who has access to the theme options pretty easily.
I had a quick peek at the theme files and it looks like it's using the Options Framework to add its options. If you look inside `options.php` you'll see that `$options` consists of a multi-dimensional array. The Options Framework is pretty easy to use; simply include the necessary files and then create your options as required. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Let user to add input fields on theme option page
I'm creating a Theme Option page for my own wordpress theme and I've been trying to create something like this on my option page
It means my user(admin) can add any number of input fields (in this image, they're drop down elements)
I need to add this feature as a inbuilt option page, so plugins like ACF will not work for me in this case. I have to build this from scratch.
Thanks... | You can do this by adding the following class in your theme for admin options;
Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress
And you can call your repeatable fields with some thing like this;
array(
'name' => 'Name of field',
'id' => 'prefix_option_name',
'type' => 'text',
'default' => '',
'repeatable' => true,
),

WP_Query search custom posts meta date fields
I have a custom post type which stores dates in a meta field as
2014-02-22 22:38:00
I can use `WP_Query` to find posts created in a certain month / year
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'custom_post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'date_query' => array(array(
'month' => $month,
'year'=> $year,
),),
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
How can I extend this to search a date meta field? I know you have to add
'meta_query' => array(array(
'key' => $key,
'value' => $val,
...etc...
),),
Can I search for custom posts using a date field or do I have to manually filter once I get all the returned custom posts? | See the codex re Meta Query. For example, this would get all posts at least a day old:
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime("-1 days")); // 1 day ago

feed links for custom post type pages
I have a WP based site with a lot of pages based on custom post type. But I see a lot of 404-links in the Google Webmasters finished with /feed. It looks like default WP function, when WP adds /feed to any page and this should return history in RSS format. This is good. So my question is:
How I can make ".../feed" links working and show XML for comments on these special post type pages?
For example, my real page < returns 404, when < returns a page with comments. How I can make RSS link working and returning a page with XML with comments list?
Thanks. | Finally I found a bug in CPT UI plugin. There is no rewrite_rules apply at edit form submit stage. To have rewrite_rules finally applied, I have to show "edit post type" form (without submitting it) to have edited properties actually applied.

Custom template for different post types
I'm struggling to get my head around the correct terminology for posts/templates etc which is making it difficult to find what I'm looking for in Google/on here.
Basically, I'd like a user to be able to select from a drop down in the new post page, and this will prepopulate the posts box with a "template" the author can then fill in.
For example, if they select "Review", it'll have a space for an image, some text, a link to something like Soundcloud, and then a Star rating at the bottom.
If they select "Top 50 albums", it'll populate with 50 boxes, all ready for the user to select album art, youtube link etc etc.
Is this something that natively exists in Wordpress? Is there a plug in for such functionality or can I write this from scratch?
Appreciate any help. | I'd recommend Custom Post Types : <
You can add appropriate meta boxes to each post type : <
You can define specific front end templates for each post type : <
Instead of a dropdown, you would have distinct menu items for each "thing" ( Review, Albums, etc ). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Programmatically choose language for translation
I have a multilanguage website (to do it I use both Polylang and Loco Translate).
My problem is that I want to send an email to our users, but I don't know in which language to send it until I retrive the record from the DB (so I can't simply set a different WP_LANGUAGE)
This is pseudocode for what I would like to do:
$wpdb->query($wpdb->prepare("SELECT userName,language FROM wp_order WHERE id =%s",$id_order));
$result = $wpdb->last_result;
if($result){
//SET LANGUAGE FOR TRANSLATION $result->language
$emailBody= "Hi".$result->name." "._("text to translate","pluginname");
/* ... generate email ... */
wp_mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
} | After looking at the l10n.php I found a way to switch the textdomain using the unload_textdomain function.
So I created a simple switch
function switch_textdomain( $domain, $newLocale){
/*
This will only change the textdomain, not the locale.
It will only affect what kind of language will be used for the _e(), _(), __() commands for the $domain
*/
unload_textdomain( $domain );
/*mofile Folder
this may have to be changed depending on what you want to switch*/
$path = get_template_directory();
$mofile = "{$path}/{$newLocale}.mo";
return load_textdomain( $domain, $mofile );
}
This will not actually change the locale, but will only change the textdomain for the specified domain (your theme, or plugin).
Since in my case I only needed the translation this is good enough for me. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to stop permalink redirects for a particular slug
I have a large number of posts that each represent a very specific type of data. Each post title is the SKU for the data & information. Folks have become pretty savvy on the URL structure and their shortcuts (redirects) are causing them to get incorrect data. Using the wrong data is NOT a good thing in this case.
**For example, if my actual slug is example.com/esm/010HHHH**
* example.com/010HHHH redirects to example.com/esm/010HHHH (Good)
* example.com/010 could redirect to any item that starts with 010 such as example.com/esm/010AAAA (Not Good)
The preferred behavior is to simply get a 404 error for any post that is not exact for any posts that have a slug of /esm.
I have successfully solved the issue by removing the canonical filter. However, I would like the "normal" canonical behavior for any other slugs.
remove_filter('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical'); | This seems to be working. If the URL that WP wants to redirect to has "esm" in the url, it will simply return a 404. If not, it can go on its merry little way.

function custom_disable_redirect_canonical( $redirect_url, $requested_url ) {

How to protect login via SSL but not the rest of the dashboard
Is it possible to have a site's login pages protected via SSL but then have it revert back to http:// for the dashboard pages? I am finding that https:// in the dashboard slows down my experience. | It is probably possible, but if you do it the security impact is like not using ssl at all unless all you want to protect is your user and password and don't care much about protecting against actual hacking into the site.
While user and password are sent only as part of the login form, an equivalent authentication information generated from them is transferred with every request you make to the site in a cookie. Since they are always sent and needed to access the admin there is no much point if you encrypt the authentication information for one page but let them to be sent in free text to other pages.
Unless specifically looking to get your user and password, the hacker that tries to break into your site by monitoring your communication does not care if he got your user and password by intercepting the login info on the login page or by intercepting the cookies on a post edit page. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

URI rewriting: handling one page
Here's what I'd like to do: make Wordpress think that my _page_ called "`toto`" can be called from "`/toto`" but also from "`/toto/{alphanum char}`"
I dont want to make a special rewrite rule, because I dont want to touch the "`.htaccess`" file.
Is there a way to do this in Wordpress? | You HAVE TO add a rewrite rule to WordPress. That can be done withou touching .htaccess. For example:
add_action('init', 'cyb_rewrite_rule');
function cyb_rewrite_rule() {
add_rewrite_rule( 'toto/([^/]+)/?$', 'index.php?pagename=$matches[1]', 'top' );
}
If you need access to the second part of the URL as query var, you can do this:
add_action('init', 'cyb_rewrite_rule');
function cyb_rewrite_rule() {
add_rewrite_rule( 'toto/([^/]+)/?$', 'index.php?pagename=$matches[1]&secondpart=$matches[2]', 'top' );
}
add_filter('query_vars', 'cyb_add_vars');
function cyb_add_vars($vars) {
$vars[] = 'secondpart';
return $vars;
}
Now "secondpart" is available in the query vars pool and you can access to it using WordPress funcions. For example, imaging you have this URL: "mysite.com/toto/apple"
if( get_query_var( "secondpart" == "apple" ) ) {
//It matchs

How are the HTML classes generated?
I've just created a "full-width" template page for my theme, allowing me to set the width of the site content to maximum if there are no sidebars active.
What I've noticed is that this gave me a HTML class ".full-width" to work with in CSS. How did this class get generated? It seems to be terrifically connected with the fact that I named my template "full-width.php" | By default WordPress adds lots of CSS classes in body tag automatically. These body classes are very useful for styling different sections/pages of site without needing to edit theme files unnecessarily.
For example WordPress add `home` CSS class on website front page and `blog` class on blog posts index page.
Similarly in your case, since you are using a custom page template for a page, WordPress added file name CSS class in body tag.

How can I use wp-editor for these dynamically generated text areas?
wp_editor($ID, 'media_desc[]'); | The second parameter to `wp_editor` is the value that the "id" attribute of the textarea element will have, and that is probably why there are such restrictions on it.

Add bcc to contact from on wordpress
I found a script for making your own contact form in your wordpress site (without plugin) Now, I want to add more clients email accounts as a BCC or CC. how can I do that?
This is me code which define the email address:
if(!isset($hasError)) {
$emailTo = get_option('tz_email');
if (!isset($emailTo) || ($emailTo == '') ){
$emailTo = '[email protected]';
}
Thanks | If your code uses `wp_mail` function to send emails, then you can specify multiple recipients using an array or a comma-separated string.
So your `$emailTo` will be..
$emailTo = array(
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
);
If your code does not use `wp_mail` function then you can define multiple instance of PHP mail function.
To BCC and CC with `wp_mail`, you must use the `$headers` argument. If it's not already defined in your `wp_mail` then here is a simple example.
$headers[] = 'From: Me Myself <[email protected]>';
$headers[] = 'Cc: John Q Codex <[email protected]>';
$headers[] = 'Cc: [email protected]';
Although adding email addresses with array (first code) will work just fine, and unless you have a good reason to use BCC/CC headers, you should use it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is back-end access not required for an app to post to my blog?
I've recently installed a couple of apps (WordPress and BlogPad Pro) and I'm a bit surprised to see that they can indeed post to my blogs, even though I haven't given them the renamed login and wp-admin pages that I set up through iThemes Security.
My understanding was that posting could only happen "through" the back end of the blog; i.e. if you couldn't log into the blog through the login page, you couldn't post to the blog either. But evidently, with my username and password, these apps _can_ post to the blog.
How does the app know to get "around" the obscured login page to post to the blog? | Clients typically use XML-RPC Support.

modifying title (in dashboard) for different widget instances
When I insert multiple instances of widget in a particular sidebar, they all appear by default collapsed and with the same title. E.g.:

Send Admin Emails to Multiple Email Addresses
Is there a hook that would allow me to email multiple email addresses for the default admin email notifications?

get_thumbnail_id returns full size image
I want a thumbnail of the featured image of the posts as a URL. So I'm using the following code to get a smaller size of the featured image.
$post[$i]['thumbnail'] = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post[$i]['id'], 'thumbnail'));
However all the time it returns the full size image, I even tried,
$post[$i]['thumbnail'] = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post[$i]['id'], array(120,140)));
But still it returns the large image. How can I fix this? | Hey First add this line into your function.php file

if ( '' != $thumb_id ) {

Alter a specific query on Wordpress
I need to change a query of a plugin that is **not** the main query. The author did not put any filters. I can see the query from
$wpdb->queries
Is there a way to access the specific query and replace what I need? If you need further info I will gladly provide. Thank you in advance.
**Edit** As requested:
There is a class eg. MyClass Inside there is a function eg myfunction
myfunction has
$event_obj = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);
Can I alter $querystr ?
**EDIT #2**
I believe I am getting somewhere (after 4 hours).
add_filter('query', 'spyros_query');
function spyros_query($query) {
if (strpos($query,'what_only_this_query_will_contain') !== false) {
return false; // for testing purposes
}
return $query;
}
** EDIT #3 (the full query) **
<
Regards,
Spyros | You might be able to use the `query` filter hook
See this WPSE answer
Basically, you can do something like:
add_filter( 'query', 'your_filter_function' );
function your_filter_function($query_sql) {
// do something to $query_sql
return $query_sql;
}
This will get called for _every_ query, so you'll need to test `$query_sql` to make sure it's the query you want. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

featured image metabox not showing on the default post types edit page

What's the proper way to include inlined javascript-source?
I'm making a theme where I'm including a javascript-lib which wants to be loaded/instrumented with a potion of generated code at `document.ready()`-time. Generated because some theme-options are influencing the behaviour.
I properly load the `.js` of the lib with `wp_enqueue_script()`. Now I need a proper way to put the the javascript-code below the script.
I found a way which suggests to change `header.php` to include the code after the call to `wp_head()`.
I think my question is, is there a way to add js-code so that the call to `wp_head()` includes at in the right place? Is there a `wp_enqueue_script_code()`? | To print JavaScript code to your page, you have several paths to choose from. The most obvious would be the `wp_footer` action. Just hook a function to it and make it print your JavaScript/jQuery code, wrapped in `<script />` tags.
**// EDIT**
As an addition, if your custom JavaScript/jquery code is static (i.e., there are no dynamic parts in it), you should put it in a separate JS file and enqueue it with the lib as dependency. But you explicitly asked for printing so that's what I answered.
As for your comment, as long as your code doesn't have to be executed before the page has been rendered--which doesn't seem to be the case, according to your question (`document.ready`)--this is just best practice to enqueue script files in the footer. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

<?php
include( './wp-load.php' ); // load up WordPress
wp_nav_menu( array ( 'menu' => 'whatever' ); // spit out a menu called 'menu'
?>
Then on the other site, you'll want to get the output of that file like:
<?php echo file_get_contents(' ?>
That'll spit out the menu where you need it on the second site.
To get it to look right, you'd also have to bring some markup and styles from the other site but that's the gist of it.

How to display html code on homepage
I have some HTML code wrapped in a div tag that I'd like to place on the homepage.
Because I use a static page for a homepage, I'm guessing I should use is_front_page() and I should place the desired code in footer.php
This is what I have now in footer.php (just the snippet we need):
<?php>
if (is_front_page())
{
//div html here
}
?>
</body> </html>
What am I doing wrong here? Should I use echo in the php? Or should I use an OR statement in the IF (is_home OR is_front_page) | if you are just trying to put HTML inside PHP, just close PHP and wrap with HTML
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
<div>

How to use esc_attr__ with custom translation function?
I just made a built-in translation function to help users to translate their theme from theme options.
Usually my functions works great as follow:
<?php _e( 'No Comments', 'mytextdomain' ); ?>
becomes:
<?php echo __myfunction( 'no_comments' ); ?>
My question is related to `esc_attr__` and I'm stuck here... How the following code should look using custom translation function?
esc_attr__( 'No Comments', 'mytextdomain' )
Where should I place my translation function `__myfunction` ? Will be corect the following code?
esc_attr__myfunction( 'no_comments' )
Thanks | As your function returns the translated string, you could pass the translation function as parameter for `esc_attr()` and `esc_attr_e()`:
esc_attr__( __myfunction( 'no_comments' ) );
esc_attr_e( __myfunction( 'no_comments' ) );
But `esc_attr__()` and `esc_attr_e()` will perform translation tasks that you don't need because you handle the translation at your own, so I think it is better to use `esc_attr()` only:
esc_attr( __myfunction( 'no_comments' ) );
and
echo esc_attr( __myfunction( 'no_comments' ) ); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I get categories IDs if multiple categories requested via URI?
Let's say, I have two categories, '`color`' and '`temperature`'. Each one has a number of sub-categories.
Wordpress does great job displaying posts in requested categories when I go to URL like this one:
How can I get these categories (IDs or slugs) in category template?
**UPDATE** : Thanks to Rarst; I will analyze `$wp_query->tax_query->queries`.
ps. btw, ` gives posts in any of `blue` OR `yellow` categories. Nice ,)
pps. AND there may be more than two categories, of course. | Hm hm. WordPress might be good at making this work, but isn't too good at making it convenient to work _with_. Typically `get_queried_object()` is a good way to access such context, but in this case it will merely hold the _first_ term and ignore the rest.
You will probably have to scrape this information out of `$wp_query->tax_query->queries`, which will hold something like this:
array(2) [
array(5) [
'taxonomy' => string (8) "category"
'terms' => array(1) [
string (12) "post-formats"

//add other options as you need
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'view-promotion')

How create Group Blogs based on user created Groups
I'm looking to create a site that allows registered users to create their own groups and have their own group blogs. They should be able to have a group page with a few details about the group and it should show the group blog. I've thought of a couple of ways of doing this but both seem to require custom plugins.
1) Use the BuddyPress plugin. This gives the groups but there currently is no BP plugin that allows group blogs.
2) Use categories. This gives the group blog if categories are set with permissions as to who can post using them and if each blog post can only have one category. Would need to create a plugin that allows users to create a new category and have that as the 'group'. The plugin would also need to allow group members to be invited.
Is there another way to achieve this is WordPress? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I don't want to use WordPress MU. | Use a multisite. There are no good reasons not to do that. For the groups I would use two custom tables:
1. A `group` table for the description, maybe an image path/ID an a group ID. You could also use a custom post type on the main site for that, but it is easier to optimize the queries for a custom table.
2. A `group_users` table to associate user IDs with group IDs. You could the `usermeta` table, but again – performance.
Whenever a user creates a group, create a new blog. WordPress has internal routines for that, it will set up all the necessary tables for you, and you can even control the plugins and the theme that are active or available for that blog.

What is your take on this? | All of these hooks are called in a similar fashion and get passes similar data. Under normal circumstances there should be no meaningful performance difference between them.
One scenario I can think of is that if you aren't properly targeting your code to specific queries and it runs in _every_ query then `posts_search` might fire less time, because other two are conditional on `suppress_filters` in query being disabled. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to force excerpts / teasers in the loop
When I'm in "the loop" (archive pages etc.) how do I force teasers / excerpts for all articles, regardless of whether they contain the `<!--more-->` tag or not?
Details:
I'm starting off of the `_s` template which displays blog post content using the `content.php` template in which it calls `the_content()` function. This function inspects the post and tries to find the `<!--more-->` tag in. If it finds one, it returns a teaser and a _read more_ link, if it doesn't it simply outputs the whole post.
I'd like to keep the first part, i.e. respect the `<!--more-->` tag if the content author used it, but if he/she forgot it I want to automatically display the teaser / excerpt anyway (something like the first paragraph or two).
What is the best way to do this? There is a `the_content` filter but e.g. the read more customization text doesn't come into it. What would you recommend? | **EDIT**
OK, there is a very hidden native function, `get_extended()` that I never knew about and greatly explained by @kaiser in his answer. My answer should only be an extension to the answer by @kaiser
**ORIGINAL ANSWER**
There is no native function to do this. The best here would be to use a PHP function like `strpos` to search for the more tag, and then do something according to the result.
You can try something like this
if( strpos( $post->post_content, '<!--more-->' ) ) {
the_content( __( '… Read more about this article <span class="meta-nav">→</span>' ) );
}
else {
the_excerpt();

Loop through pages with specific template
I would like to know how I can loop through pages with a specific template name. I have several pages where the admin can select a template name of `SALE`. I want to display all content with this template name via the loop.

$pages = get_pages(array(
'meta_key' => '_wp_page_template',
'meta_value' => 'page-special.php'

Displaying Page Title on index.php
I have my posts page set as `index.php`, and on there I have my main heading (as I do on all pages).
I'm having trouble displaying the page's heading however. The page is called 'Blog' in WordPress, and has been specified as the posts page.
If I output the page heading with `wp_title('');`, I get the title of the page — 'Blog' — but with the site name after it (perhaps due to Yoast SEO plugin).
If I use `the_title()` then it gives me the title of the most recent blog post, even though I'm calling the function outside of the loop.
So I've had to resort to simple hardcoding `<h1>Blog</h1>` which is far from ideal.
Is there a way I can pull in the name of the page title dynamically but _just_ the page title on it's own? | Strange. Outside the loop, the_title() _should_ give you the current page name, _if_ you really are on a page, and not viewing a specific post. If it gives post title instead, it may mean that you are somehow inside a loop. But if that were true, wp_title shouldn't show "Blog".
See if other options give the same result:
//the_title();
single_post_title();
echo $post->post_name; // I think this shows the url page name
Also check for is_page(). You might try the is_page('Blog') test.
if (is_page('blog')) {
echo 'Blog';
}
else {
the_title();

Standard location for plugin to save/cache files?
**Are there official guidelines on where a plugin should cache files?**
If not, is there a best-practice out there that I can follow?
For example, a plugin grabs content from a back-end system benefits from caching the file so it doesn't repeatedly fetch the same content from the back-end.
Searching here and elsewhere is tough as most queries lead to caching plugins or database tutorials.
My instinct says to put them into a sub-directory of `wp-content/uploads`.
My secondary instinct would be to keep the files within the plugin's directory tree. This keeps plugin data grouped together but doesn't follow (what appears to be) WordPress architecture where user content is in `/uploads`. | It would be nice if WordPress had a standards based cache directory, but since it doesn't I think the best option is to keep it in the plugin folder itself.
Uploads are in my opinion for actual uploads and cache files are not really considered as such. I think it easier to manage , reduces possible conflicts and to be honest it's where I would look if a plugin has this functionality.
_tl;dr:_ The cache files are part of the functionality of a specific plugin and should be packaged with it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to associate 2 custom fields together (date & price for instance)?
On my website you can purchase a trip after choosing the departure date (among the available departure dates). In the back-end, a trip is a CPT in which departure dates are specified through "Repeater Field" (an extension of "Advanced Custom Fields" plugin).
Trip price depends on departure date so each departure date must have a trip price attached to it. How can I have a price field next to each date field?
I'd prefer to use those plugins but I'm open to any suggestion.
EDIT: I came across this thread that looks related to my problem, but I don't understand the code in it. | With ACF, in the same repeater custom field that your departure date uses, add a price field. Then each time you add a departure date, you can add the associated price. Wherever you're showing the departure date in the template you can add the price field as well. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to redirect all pages of a custom post type
Here's the deal. Let's say I have a custom post type called "subscriptions". Under this post type there are pages like the following:
* mysite.com/subscription/ **my-first-subscription**
* mysite.com/subscription/ **my-second-subscription**
* mysite.com/subscription/ **my-third-subscription**
The issue is that I actually have a pricing page which allows users to use a widget to select the different subscriptions. I don't want the users to _ever_ be able to access the subscription pages directly, even if they know the URL. My first thought is that I'd like any attempt to access a page of "subscription" type to be redirected to the pricing page. How would I do that?
(If someone has a better idea, I'm open to that as well.) | As stated by Milo it looks like it a duplicate of [How to disable the single view for a custom post type?]
<?php
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'subscription_redirect_post' );

if ( is_single() && 'subscription' == $queried_post_type ) {
wp_redirect( pricingpageURL, 301 );
exit;
}
}
?>

How to add wechat (weixin) link to navigation menu?
The profile link of WeChat (or Weixin) has the following format: `weixin://contacts/profile/username`

Why cant I add a custom post type to a custom taxonomy?
I am trying to assign a custom taxonomy to a custom post type with `wp_insert_post` function.

);
$new_cpt_id = wp_insert_post( $args );
A quick fix for now is:
wp_set_object_terms( $new_cpt_id, $category_id, 'custom_tax_category' );
However, I want to do it with `wp_insert_post` function.
**NOTE** I am using the following inside the `$args` for `register_post_type( 'custom_post_type', $args );`
'taxonomies' => array( 'custom_tax_category','custom_tax_tag' ),
So, what am I missing? | The `post_category` you are using is for core categories taxonomy. For custom taxonomies you have to use `tax_input`. For example, the next code set terms for `custom_tax_category` and `custom_ta_tag` taxonomies.

Display get_post_meta if contains value

Removing rel="nofollow" from links posted in Post Content
I am running wordpress for my blog EasyPadhai.

* Google Analytics for WordPress
* WordPress SEO
* W3 Total Cache

Check If comment author is registered
It should be simple, but I tried some codes, none does the trick. Searched on Google, nothing there either. Simply check if the comment author is a registered user (so I can add some code for it), if it's not registered show nothing.
This should do the trick `if( empty($comment_author_nickname) && empty($comment_author_email) )` but I don't know how to get that information
thank you | I wonder if you mean this kind of check:
if( $comment->user_id > 0 ) {
// Registered comment author
}
in your comment's template callback.
This is determined in the the `wp-comments-post.php` file:
$commentdata = compact('comment_post_ID', ..., 'user_ID' );
$comment_id = wp_new_comment( $commentdata );
but it's not obvious where the `user_ID` variable comes from, since this variable is not defined in that file.
So this is actually picking up the global variable `$user_ID` or `$GLOBALS['user_ID']` behind our back ;-) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

show custom category posts from a custom post type
I am trying to show posts from a **Custom Post Type** (documents) that has a custom **Taxonomy** (subject) with two categories, each category page should have its own posts. But when I open any of these categories page, I get all posts from this Custom Post Type.

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'documents',
'posts_per_page' => 20 );
$terms = get_terms( 'subject', array (
'hide_empty' => 0,)
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args, $term );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
// content
so where the problem exactly? | You should need to do any custom querying on `taxonomy-subject.php`, just use the normal loop api. WordPress will build a query for you.
As for your question:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'documents',
'posts_per_page' => 20,
);
`WP_Query` doesn't take a second argument to its constructor. All its seeing is the arguments above. You're asking WP_Query for 20 posts from the document post type. Its giving them to you. If you want posts from a specific term, you'll need to tell it that with a taxonomy parameter.
$loop = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'documents',
'posts_per_page' => 20,
'tax_query' => array(array(
'taxonomy' => 'subject',
'terms' => get_queried_object_id(),
)),
));
`get_queried_object_id` should return the term ID on `taxonomy-subject.php`, you'll need to use some other code if this loop is being used elsewhere. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Correct classes for WordPress menu items

menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-category menu-item-187
