get approved users only ( ultimate member plugin )
I am using UltimateMember and I have the settings configured that admin must approve registered users first. I now want to display the approved users meta information like faculty, email, etc. in the theme. So in this page template I've the following block of code to get all registered users information :
<?php
$args = array(
'role' => 'contributor',
);
$users = get_users( $args );
foreach ( $users as $user ) {
echo '<span>' . esc_html( $user->user_email ) . '</span>';
echo '<span>' . esc_html( $user->faculty ) . '</span>';
echo '<span>' . esc_html( $user->graduation_year ) . '</span>';
}
The problem is, that my code block is displaying all registered users information weather it is approved by admin or not. | I assume your WP settings is
1. New User Default Role = contributor
If yes, so this block of code shows all the contributor's with account_status = approved;
$args = array(
'role' => 'contributor',

'meta_value' => 'approved'
);
$users = get_users($args);
foreach ($users as $user) {
echo '<pre>';
print_r( $user );
echo '</pre>';

Get File Object from wp.Uploader

Create tabs inside Plugins Admin Page
I am developing my own plugin and I am trying to figure out how to add tabs to my admin page.
Is the process similar to how we add meta boxes?
Ie, something like add_tab_box(...); and I specify a callback?
When I say tabs I mean tabs like below:

Why do_shortcode is not executing the shortcode in data-* html attributes?
This is on Vanilla installation. I've made a shortcode:-
/**

function callback_banana_abc( $args ){
/* Don't echo! Always return */
return 'yay!';
}

<?php
/*
* Template Name: Test Template
* Description: Hello world.
*/
$str = '<a href="#" title="[banana_abc]" data-abc="[banana_abc]">[banana_abc]</a>';
echo do_shortcode($str);

<a href="#" title="yay!" data-abc="[banana_abc]">yay!</a>
This is only for data-* attributes. It works fine when used in `title` attribute. | `do_shortcodes_in_html_tags()` runs attributes through `wp_kses_one_attr()` which checks them against `wp_kses_allowed_html( 'post' )` which by default only accepts standard non-data attributes, so you'd have to add your attribute:

Editing/Removing Secondary Menu from Divi
I'm using Divi by ET. I created a custom plugin with the following code to enable separate menus for logged-in and logged-out users.
function my_wp_nav_menu_args( Array $args = [] )
{
if ( is_user_logged_in() )
$args['menu'] = 'logged-in';
else
$args['menu'] = 'logged-out';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'my_wp_nav_menu_args' );
The problem is that Divi now applies this custom menu setting to all menus. I've been trying to disable or at least modify the secondary header but am unable to do so.
The footer menu doesn't display by default if nothing is selected, but if I do select any option then the plugin overrides that setting and displays the 'logged-in'/'logged-out' menus only. | Please note, specific support questions to third party themes are off topic, so I will treat this in a general way, you should be able to implement this with your current theme
To make your code work on only one menu, you need to target that specific menu only. To do that, you will need to check the current menu item location, and if it mathches a given value, then make your changes. The theme lacation is stored as `$args['theme_location']`
You can try the following: ( _Just get the correct menu and change accordingly in the code below_ )
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'my_wp_nav_menu_args', 999 );

{

custom post type grid with content in lightbox
I'm going around every single wordpress plugin and impossible to find something with this featured . . . .
I need a grid list of some custom post type - with inline filter.
This is fine and tons of plugin can do this, such as essential grid.
Otherwise, on click, I need to display the_content on a lightbox, and I can not find anything with this featured.... They all display post on a new page - or just display the thumbnail - sometime the_title in the lightbox . . . .
Any plugin or possibilities to achieve this than somebody know ?
It will be fantastic :)
Thank you for your time :) | Try the "Responsive Lightbox" plugin and use the "Inline" option. For more info, visit the plugin homepage and scroll down to the "Sample Code" section.

Specific text not affected by CSS style
First, here is the URL for the page I am struggling with: <
On the page I have some p-elements with strong text, that I have modified with the following css:
.beer-description strong {
display: table-cell;
text-transform:uppercase;
color:#009444;
border-bottom: 1px solid #009444;
margin-bottom:5px;
}
.beer-description:after strong {
content: "";
display: table-cell;
width: 50%;
}
I have done this to make the text bold, green, and underlined.
However, the first two strong elements "Bryggeri" and "Genre", I would like to not be affected by the css rule, so that they only stay bold, black, and inline.
Is this at all possible without changing the HTML, and just by using CSS? | You can do that with CSS pseudo nth-child classes. Here is an example to make first two `strong` black.
.beer-description strong:nth-child(1), .beer-description strong:nth-child(2) {
color: #404040;

Convert simple SQL Query to WordPress query
I'm trying to 'batch' update the value in my post_parent fields in my wp_posts table. I can do it from within phpmyadmin using the following SQL Query:
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_parent = '8' WHERE post_type = 'the_name_of_my_post-type_here';
but I can't get it to work from within wordpress.
Any thoughts? | The function you are looking for is `wp_update_post()`.
You would want to have your posts which you want to update, then set up a loop to update each one individually.
// However you get your posts, ID's, etc.
$posts = get_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'post' ) );
for ( $posts as $post ) {
wp_update_post( array( 'ID' => $post->ID, 'post_parent' => 8 ) );
}
For a generic SQL call, look at the `$wpdb` object, and it's `prepare` and `query` functions:
global $wpdb;
$query = $wpdb->prepare( 'UPDATE wp_posts SET post_parent = %d WHERE post_type = %s', 8, 'my-post-type' );
$wpdb->query( $query );
You could also look into `$wpdb->update` \- it may suit your needs better in the future. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Change directory where get_header(), get_footer() and get_sidebar() look for templates

Adding regex filter to feedwordpress

Different image margins on different pages CSS
I am working on my webpage, where I have several descriptions of beers. Two examples are these two: < and <
My goal is to get all of the text aligned so that the text does not wrap around the image. But since there are different amounts of text on the different pages (as is the case with the two links) I cannot set a fixed margin-bottom after the images, which would work with just one picture.
Is there a way to do this, so I do not have to depend on different image sizes and different amounts of text? And is it possible with CSS? | You would need to recode your CSS a little.
Since you have your beer image in its own container that helps.
But you'd want to adjust the CSS:
.beer-description{
float: left;
width: 70%;
}
You can tweak it as needed.
To not worry about the image size, you should have a width set (can be a percentage) on the `beer-image` container and then 100% width on the `.beer-image img` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How To Load Different CSS Style, Based On Language When Using QtranslateX
I want to use custom css style for every language on my site. I'm using Plugin Qtranslate-x, how can I achieve this? | You have lots of options to achieve this.
First of all, the easy way:
Qtranslate-X adds a language class to your body tag. So if you want to only have minor tweaks, you can use this in your style.css:
.de #page {
background:#000;
}
.en #page {
background:#FFF;
}
If you need big changes (like, you need different css-files per language), you can use the function `qtranxf_getLanguage()` in your themes enqueue_scripts action like this:
Lets say you save your styles for german language version in the file `styles-de.css` and for english language in `styles-en.css`. You now enqueue the correct style like this:
function mytheme_language_scripts() {
$langcode = qtranxf_getLanguage();
wp_enqueue_style( 'lang-style', bloginfo('stylesheet-directory').'/styles-'.$langcode.'.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mytheme_language_scripts' );

Moving a plugin js to footer
So, a js from a plugin is located in the header based on the setting below:

Now, I can change it so that it will be located in the footer by editing the plugin file:
wp_register_script('plugin_min', plugin_url . 'scripts/scripts.min.js', array(), false, true );
Of course editing the plugin file is not a good idea since it will be overwritten upon update.
So, to do it properly, should I deregister it first then re-register in the function.php? | Your thought is correct.

Wordpress rewrite rules not working
I have created a plugin and i have gotten rewrite rules to work using my .htaccess file. I would like to make this work from my plugin instead to keep everything contained from within there.
Im trying to do this via the wordpress rewrite but nothing i do it working with this. I have even tried a basic rewrite and it wont work either. readme.html is a page in the root directory. I simply want testpage to display this page. The other rules i have in my .htaccess are far more complicated than this so, if i cant get this one to work i have no hope with the complicated ones.
add_action('init', 'add_actor_url');
function add_actor_url()
{
add_rewrite_rule('^testpage','readme.html','top');
flush_rewrite_rules();
} | You need to flush rewrite rules after adding or modifying rewrite rules in WordPress.

Assign published posts to another user automatically
Usually, I write posts as admin, as this is more comfortable from the blog administration point of view. But I want the posts to be assigned automatically to another existing user with editor privileges. How to do this? | You can try using `wp_insert_post_data` for the task. Something like:
function assign_new_post_to_specific_author( $data , $postarr ) {
// Where author_ID is the ID of the author you want to assign the new post
$data['post_author'] = author_ID;
return $data;
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'assign_new_post_to_specific_author', '99', 2 );

how to edit a specific post slug using a php code?
I want a php code by which i can show a modified link to the post. when using
<?php get_post_permalink(); ?>
it shows e.g.: (www.mysite.com/post-name-one). what i need is something like (www.mysite.com/abstract/post-name-one). because adding this word to the link will activate a function to change the post template. I tried to use:
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">Abstract</a>
but this shows the original link and i couldn't edit it. so i tried to use:
<a href="<?php get_site_url(); ?>/abstract/%post-name%" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">Abstract</a>

<?php get_site_url(); ?>

WordPress 4.2.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Creating Files as read only
Whenever I attempt to update a plugin or change my configuration for W3 Total Cache, if wordpress creates a new file, it's created with the Read Only attribute. I can upload and delete content without issue. It's just updating a plugin or the w3total cache config. I removed the read only attribute from the w3 total cache config file and the changes are saved successfully, subsequent updates fail because the newly created config file is read only. I've confirmed it's PHP-CGI that's changing the attribute, because on the successful config update I see PHP-CGI changing the attribute. I've tried every combination of permissions / ownership I could think of. Including using AppPool identities and "Connect As", running as administrators and non-admins. I'm just not sure why the read only attribute is getting set.
![Image]: | I figured out the issue, my site had the following in wp-config.php. Also WP-config.php had to be placed at the site root
define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', true );

How to put an external object into WordPress to that occupies most of the available space?
I have a WordPress site. I want to insert into one of its pages another page, written in AngularJS. That page is a Spring Boot system and will be hosted on a different machine than the WordPress page.
When I embed that external component into my WordPress I want it to occupy as much space on the screen as possible (see the green rectangle in the screenshot below).
, then the width of the component is limited by the width of the content part (red rectangle). That's not an option, I need more space.
How can I
1. put an external component into a WordPress site,
2. so that it occupies the entire width of the page and
3. all other pages are not affected by this change (have the same theme etc.)
? | Not really a wordpress question, and except for the last option you might get a different and maybe better answers on stack exchange.
Three options one ugly, one requires extra work and one is super hard but might be the right thing to do.
**Ugly** : Put the external object in an iframe and write some JS that will autommatically adjust the width and height of the iframe to the avaialable space. bonus points for handling browser resize events
**Extra work** : Use some Jquery code (Don't have to, but that is what everybody does) to load the external object into memory. Parse it and insert the relevant part into a div on a page (use a shortcode to indicate the location of the div for non techi users)
**super hard** : change the external site to support oembed and return the relevant html for requests, change your wordpress to recognize the external site as a valid source for oEmbed. In the post insert the relevant url on the external site. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Contact Form 7 - Execute code AFTER mail send
I've figured out how to do something BEFORE sending the mail, but I also need an action to happen AFTER it's been send.
I tried `wpcf7_after_send_mail` but with no success...
Any help on the matter would be much appreciated. | **EDIT:**
Please note that as of 2017 'on_sent_ok' is deprecated. This means that your code will stop working at some point in the future (likely by the end of 2017). The recommended solution is using DOM event listeners directly. For example, if you used:
on_sent_ok: "ga( 'send', 'event', 'Contact Form', 'submit' );"
You should replace it with:
document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7mailsent', function( event ) {
ga( 'send', 'event', 'Contact Form', 'submit' );
}, false );
The JavaScript code can be placed e.g. in the footer of your page.
**ORIGINAL ANSWER:**
Ok figured it out. In the specific form settings, go to the additional fields tab. Type in the following: `on_sent_ok: "location.replace('
It's working like a charm for me now. Hope this helps other developers in the future as well.

On a custom template, should I use wp_footer?
I have started to learn about WP. I was asking myself the other day : should I use, in my custom template, the wp_footer() to call my scripts or should I go with static script? I can't seem to understand how wp_footer works, tho I know it is a do_action but I actually don't want to change the "core" for wp_footer, I just want to add my own scripts in the footer.
Should I go to the function that call wp_head and add my scripts there or should I write it down in a static footer.php like
Thx! | <?php function theme_footerscript(){
wp_enqueue_script('main_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/js/main.js', array('jquery'), '1.0', true);
}

3) Do i need to take any precautions ?

Hari | 1. Yes it applies to your old articles.

* improper enqueueing of scripts and styles using absolute urls
* using absolute urls in images, pages and etc.

Why is this $wpdb query looping 5 times?

* adding `OBJECT_K` to the end
* using `SELECT DISTINCT`
* using `MAX` before each value
* using `FIRST` before each value
* using `wp_reset_query()`

Use __($str) and _e($str) to translate strings with HTML
I'm currently developing a non-trivial theme right now, most of the time I'm not using a `__($str)` translate function when there's an HTML tag therein the text. Is it good to always use the translate functions such `__($str)` and `_e($str)` whenever there's a text that'll be going to output? Any downside with it?
Can I still use it even to a very long text that have mixed with an HTML tag such like this?
__("This <em>text</em> have an <b>HTML</b> tag. Another sentence...")
Or it is good to use like this? _(*Looks messy..)_
__('This ').'<em>'.__('text').'</em>'.' have an '.'<b>'.__('HTML').'</b>'__(' tag.')
How to properly use such kind of a function? | The sweet and short of it all is, never try to translate HTML tags. Use placeholders and either `printf` or `sprintf` to translate strings with HTML tags
Something like this will do
## `printf()`
printf( __( 'This %s text %s have an %s HTML %s tag. Another sentence...' ), '<em>', '</em>', '<b>', '</b>' );
## `sprintf()`
sprintf( __( 'This %s text %s have an %s HTML %s tag. Another sentence...' ), '<em>', '</em>', '<b>', '</b>' ); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a restriction in WP on the use of jQuery load function?
I'm just trying to load a simple txt file for testing purposes.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#buttonAjax").click(function(){
jQuery("#demo").load("demo.txt");
alert('inside jquery');
});
});

Dropdown switching subcategories portfolio
I have portfolio on my site and i want add dropdown switching subcategories for taxanomy 'potfolio-types'
For example:
> Category A
>
> * subcategory 1
> * subcategory 2
> * etc...

when're in category A, the drop-down list shows the child category. When selecting child category, go to her.
I use this code
<?php
$args = array('hide_empty'=>1,'depth'=>1,'hierarchical'=> 0, 'show_count'=> 1,'taxonomy'=> 'portfolio-types',);
?>
<ul>
<?php wp_dropdown_categories( $args ); ?>
</ul>
But the list shows all the categories and subcategories. And there is no transition. | The 'child_of' argument lets you select subcategories from a parent category, and a you can get the current taxonomy id to pass as the value:
<?php
$category_id = get_queried_object_id();

'hide_empty'=>1,
'depth'=>1,
'hierarchical'=> 0,
'show_count'=> 1,
'taxonomy'=> 'portfolio-types',
'child_of' => $category_id
);
?>
<ul>
<?php wp_dropdown_categories( $args ); ?>
</ul>
So in the example above, only children (sub-categories) of portfolio-type of the current category ID will be displayed.

Is it a good idea to edit WordPress within Eclipse?

Can I use mysql queries to replace query_posts()?
I have a template that seems to only accept variables given though `query_posts()`, which appears to work like `get_posts()`, but it's too restricting. So I need to either do it somehow without `query_posts()` or find a way to include filters like
> posts that have one or more of several values in this meta value of this meta key with authors who have this value in their meta key
inside of it. So far I've been unsuccessfull with both.
Is there anything that would help me? | It's not clear what do you mean by template "accepting" variables.
`WP_Query` (which `query_posts()`/`get_posts()` are build on top of) is _very_ flexible. In many cases it's not as much being _able_ to do something with it, as having _experience_ using it to achieve results.
Typically even when queries cannot be expressed in single set of arguments, it is still very possible to make "compound" queries, by querying partial post sets and further using them in additional queries.
That said it _is_ quite possible to use raw SQL. As long as you retrieve records from posts table accurately, you can instance `WP_Post` objects from them. Note that this will skip much of related WP functionality, such as caching, etc. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress Gallery Thumbnail images look blurry

Is it faster to query records using $wpdb instead of Wp_Query?
I mean the speed of query records from database, not the way we render the content gained. More specifically, I just want to query the posts' IDs, my site contains more than 4000 posts (they are custom post type) and I just want to have all their ID. | Yes, custom SQL queries are in essence faster than a custom instance of `WP_Query`. The disadvantage of a custom SQL query is that you are loosing a lot, like object cache, filters and actions, etc, etc, and it is also discouraged to use custom SQL if Wordpress already offers that specific functionality.
`WP_Query` does have the option however to only query post ID's ( _which is really fast and very lean_ ) by means of adding and using the `fields` parameter in your query arguments. You can also just use `get_posts` which uses `WP_Query` but does not return the post object but just the array of posts
So, you can basically do the following
$args = [
'nopaging' => true,
'fields' => 'ids' // Just get post ID's
];
$q = get_posts( $args );

How can i make wordpress change automatically the template of my custom post type to single-article-french.php when the language of the article is set to French? | What you would do, is have your default `single-article.php`. This will get called by default because of the WP permalinks and templating system.
At the top of your `single-article.php` do the following before your `get_header()` call:
<?php
$language = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'language' );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $language) && $language && 'French' == $language[0]->name ) {
get_template_part( 'single-article-french' );
} else {
// english template stuff
get_header();
// etc.
}
That way you will call `single-article-french.php` when the French category is selected. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Need help getting a certain value out of a multi dimensional array

wpcf seems to put all of its values inside of an array, and on top of that the checkbox values are stored in an array as well. In this case, the value I'm looking for is 'student' but that array might have multiple values.
How would I go about retrieving it? Thank you! | The reason you get the "First" Array is that you don't use the "single" option of the get_user_meta function. Try this:
$arr = get_user_meta($user->ID, 'wpcf-team-experience-member-type',true);
$options = array();
if(is_array($arr)){
foreach($arr as $key => $value){
foreach($value as $arrvalue){
$options[] = $arrvalue;
}
}
}
var_dump($options);
This should dump all the options that maybe are in there.

I am trying to find what will be the best caching software which will be best for such blog?
Thanks in advance | I would suggest using nginx along with varnish. Varnish is a caching mechanism which runs on top of Apache/nginx. You can configure it to purge the cache after a specific time if you have users updating content often.
In terms of server configuration, I would recommend Amazon Web Services' EC2. This will allow you to easily scale up as needed. I would not install the database on the EC2 instance, and instead would use Amazon Web Services RDS - which is a load balanced Database server.

Best method for loading content on mobile - issue with wp_is_mobile
I'm trying to prevent loading of extra site menus on mobile. I'd rather not load them at all as opposed to loading them and hiding them with css. I'm starting with this in my header file:
` <?php if(wp_is_mobile()) : ?> <?php /*?>Don't load full menus on mobile<?php */?> <?php else : ?> //Code for additional menus goes here <?php endif; ?> `
It works, but I pushed this change on Friday - and our site is timing out this week. It could be totally unrelated, but I found a statement in the codex that says " It also should not be used for themes." - <
Does this mean I can't use the function in this way? I found several references / examples like the logic I used. If not in a theme, how can I use it?
Bottom line... what is the best way to prevent **loading** of content on mobile? | Yes, you shouldn't use it in your theme. It's used in WP core on administration side for adding touch scripts, mobile button etc. It's very dumb, it just detects User Agent string which can anybody change. And the biggest why not to use it is that you can have a trouble if you use it with a cache plugin because it can show mobile version when desktop version should showed.. It's safe to use it in backend because all caching plugins caching only frontend not backend.
I think that the safest method would be input all content and show/hide whatever you want via media queries. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

the_post_thumbnail('medium') setting some images width=1 height=1
I have a created a custom post type and gave it a field of image which can contain a gallery.

Im not sure if there is a database issue or a fault with the image that I'm unaware of. | It's only a guess, but it's also most probable cause...
When you upload an image to WP, some metadata is generated and stored in database. This metadata contains such info like name, path and size of the image (to be more precise - paths and sizes of all created images based on uploaded one). And... This metadata is stored as serialized array.
When the metadata is corrupted (so WP is not able to unserialize it), it can cause images with size 1x1 (WP doesn't know what is the size of given image).
**What should you do in such case?**
It's easy to correct this. All you need to do is to regenerate metadata for these images. (There are many plugins which will help you with this - look for "regenerate thumbnails" or "rebuild" thumbnails"). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Enqueue styles through the wp_enqueue_style function vs link tag inside header.php
I read that I should insert my `style.css` file in my theme through the `wp_enqueue_style()` function because it's not a good solution to add that file through a link tag in the html of the `header.php` file.
Could you explain me the reasons? | Three good reasons to use the enqueue functions over hard coding are to eliminate duplication, avoiding library conflicts, and handling dependencies:
* **Duplication:** If, for example, you hard code a link to jQuery, and then install a plugin which also enqueues the jQuery library, you're site will be loading the same library twice, which will affect the page load speed, amongst other things.
* **Library conflicts:** Much like duplication, but the plugin may be loading a different version of jQuery, which results in your page trying to load two conflicting versions, which could cause serious page problems.
* **Handling dependencies:** If you create a custom script which relies on a javascript library, you can add the dependency as a parameter of the enqueue function, which will ensure that the required library is loaded before the custom script. Easy enough to do with hard coding, but easier to keep track of with `wp_enqueue_style()`.

Relationship field search not retriving posts in admin
I have a site with 5000+ posts and a theme option page with a relationship field on it. The infinite scroll and Taxonomy filter function of the relationship field works, but the search doesn't. Obviously with this many posts that's a deal breaker...
I can see it is making an ajax request via admin-ajax.php, but nothing is being returned. I have checked my error logs and there is nothing in there.
How do I diagnose / fix this? I'm guessing something is timing out? It runs ok in MAMP, but not my live server. I have tried modifying the php memory_limit, max_execution_time, and WP memory limits in wp-config.php. I've run out of ideas! | Turns out there is currently a conflict between Advanced Custom Fields Pro (5.2.8) and Relevanssi Premium (1.13.3) plugins.
If you enable the 'Use search in admin' function in Relevanssi then the problem described above appears. ACF support put the 'blame' in the Relevanssi plugin. I'm awaiting a reply from the developer if there is a work-around or solution. For now I have disabled Relevanssi search in the admin area and ACf now works as expected. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress doesn't display accents after migration
**I know this is a common question** , but I've searched a lot and only experience this since a few months, without knowing what's causing this issue of course, maybe since a Wordpress update.
This is now happening each time I move a WP installation to another server. My procedure :
* Export DB from dev site.
* Search & Replace old URL by new URL.
* Import DB in new site.
**Before answering me I messed with the encoding sets** , please consider this :
* In my fresh new DB, special chars are well displayed (french - see acccents) :
 ('pas de titre' means 'no title')
, here's the only successful fix I found :
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
In `wp-config.php`, replace `utf8mb4` by `utf8`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Missing content on author archive page
I got problem when I deal with the 'author archives' pages. Initially I used default 'archives.php' from my theme. Then I add a 'author.php' page, tested on my local machine, it was ok to show the archives. After I uploaded the file to my server, the content just can't show up.
I have installed Yoast SEO plugin and I knew it offers a 'disable author archives' function. I'm sure I've unchecked it. The code itself could fetch the right author name in the title of author archive page, while the content are gone. So I can't
To those who may concern, here's the archive page of my site: <
Thank you for your patience. | Fixed. I used code:
<div class="panel callout radius">
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), '96' ); ?>
<div class="right">
<a href=" the_author_meta( 'twitter' ); ?>" target="_blank"><i class="fi-social-twitter size-24"></i></a>
<a href="<?php the_author_meta( 'facebook' ); ?>" target="_blank"><i class="fi-social-facebook size-24"></i></a>
<a href="mailto:<?php the_author_meta( 'email' ); ?>"><i class="fi-mail size-24"></i></a>
Then I found out this function could only be used in single blog page (single.php). So I followed official guide and called a curauth like:
<?php get_header();
global $curauth;
$curauth = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author));
?>
Then it worked now. Thanks. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Authorization link broken when migrating from Blogger to Wordpress

add_filter to wp_nav_menu_objects having no impact
I'm attempting to add thumbnails to navigation items as per this question. However, after adding the sample code to the top of my functions.php file nothing happens. I've whittled the code down in an attempt to get anything to happen. The code is now this:
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_objects', 'ad_filter_menu', 10, 2);
function ad_filter_menu($sorted_menu_objects, $args) {
return '';
}
Still nothing is happening. The menu appears absolutely normally.
Heres the code thats generating the menu in header.php:
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'main-menu' ) ); ?>
What am I missing? | **First:**
Your `ad_filter_menu` is a _filter_ function: it filters/manipulates `$sorted_menu_objects` That's why you always have to return the `$sorted_menu_objects`, and `return '';` won't work.
**Second:**
A better way to achieve the desired behavior (adding thumbnails to navigation) is to extend the `Walker_Nav_Menu` class

How do I limit the number of posts displayed to one?
I have searched Stack and the codex but can't find a simple solution for limiting the number of posts returned to one using the following:

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_field('alert'); ?>
<?php endwhile;?> | <?php query_posts('cat=24&posts_per_page=1'); ?>
But using query_posts is a **very bad idea**.
This is straigt from the Codex:
For general post queries, use WP_Query or get_posts.

Installing google analytics code on wordpress blog

Adding content before the loop in category pages

And when call same function via
add_filter('wp_list_categories', 'myfunction');

&& $q->is_category() // Only target category pages

Function not saving unchecked checkbox

} else {

unset($featured_tax[$term_id]);
}
} //isset
update_option('_featured_tax', $featured_tax);
}
Please review my code. | Strictly by what I see in your code: you are trying to `unset` incorrectly, `unset` works by means of an array key and you are using `$term_id` which is a value. You need to find the index in the array for that `$term_id`:
function wpfs_save_tax( $term_id ) {
$featured_tax = get_option( '_featured_tax' );
if ( empty( $featured_tax ) ) {
$featured_tax = array();
}
if ( isset( $_POST['wpfs_tax'] ) ) {

How Child Themes Directory works for plugins?
I am working on a Wordpress installation, that another developer used to do. I have an issue since he was working only with Child Theme Directory whereas I didn't.

How to check plugins for malicious code?
Our new hosting company ran a security check on our installation and I was very surprised to hear that a premium plugin we had purchased (Easy Media Gallery Pro) contained malicious code.
(It may just be coincidental, but our site was hacked around the time we upgraded to the Pro version of that plugin.)
Anyway, I would like to know if there are any reliable utilities out there than can perform an reliable, independent security check on a plugin **before** I install it on my site?? | There are several options/plugins to do that but nothing can provide you with 100% security. Following good practices, daily/weekly backups and using themes/plugins that follow good code practices will usually help you to stay away of troubles. But again nothing will give you 100% security. As for plugins you can try several that will give you a little peace of mind:
* Wordfence Security
* iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security)
* All In One WP Security & Firewall
I've worked mainly with Wordfence Security since most of the plugins I use come from the official WP repository and it has some neat settings that allow you to compare your theme's/plugins' code against changes directly with the theme's/plugins' repo and scan the code for potential issues.
