How can draft post after 1 year

Custom Javascript not working?

I think the script classie.js which changes div's classes isn't working but I can't figure out why | There are a few problems but the main one is when sidebarEffects.js is loaded the HTML it's looking for doesn't exist yet. So...
var container = document.getElementById( 'st-container' )

Easiest way to fix it is to put your `<script>` tags right before the close of your `<body>` tags instead of in the `<head>`. If you're including these files into your theme manually, no problem, just stick them in your theme's equivalent to `footer.php`. If you're enqueueing them, see the $in_footer param here: <

Counter of posts ever posted - even deleted ones
I'm trying to figure out how can I display the amount of posts ever posted - not only the currently published, draft + pending etc ones, but even the deleted ones.
I assume that there has to be created some kind of a counter that every time a post is published gets increased by one.
Any ideas?
P.S. I'm talking about a custom post type | Depending on your needs, WP Query may not work for this since it won't include posts that have been deleted after the trash has been emptied. This should work (but hasn't been tested):
function wpse_custom_post_type_counter() {
$number = get_option( 'wpse_custom_counter' ) ? absint( get_option( 'wpse_custom_counter' ) ): 0;
$number++;
update_option( 'wpse_custom_counter', $number );
}
add_action( 'publish_your_custom_post_type', 'wpse_custom_post_type_counter' );
You'll need to update the function and option names to suit your application. Also the slug for your custom post type should replace `your_custom_post_type` in the call to `add_action`.
One disadvantage of this approach is that it will only work going forward, it won't be able to count existing posts.

Reduce Drop down Menu Width in Wordpress
i have used drop down menu. its have two brands of column one watch another knife. previous watch have 5 column drop down mega menu. i had removed two column. its now showing extra black space. how to remove it ? i have used menu-full-width when i create menu . this is my site Link
> Site LINk
please help me ? how to reduce extra black space drop down? watch brands ? any idea about ? | It's a css issue. You need to edit two selectors.
First is the menu width. It's set to 100% which is why you're seeing black space. Edit this class below.:
.cap-primary-menu .menu > li.menu-full-width .cap-submenu-ddown {
padding: 20px 25px 25px;
width: 100%; // set this to auto or something smaller than 100%
left: 0;
border: 1px solid #eee;
background: #fff;
}
The li tags within that menu are set to be divisible by five, minus some padding, which is why you see 18%. So you need to change this selector:
.cap-primary-menu .menu > li.menu-full-width .cap-submenu-ddown .container > ul > li {
width: 18.297%; // change this to 30% and go from there.

Is there a way to get minimal Wordpress functions for iframed content?
I have a bit of content in a PHP file that is designed to live inside an iframe on another page. The PHP file is very simple-- here it is in its entirety right now:
<div class="content-tos">
<?php
// get the terms of service from other page
$getpage = get_page_by_path('/terms-of-service');
echo apply_filters('the_content', $getpage->post_content);
?>
</div>
Obviously I need to include something above these lines of code so the PHP has access to the Wordpress core functions (like `get_page_by_path()`)... but if I use `get_header()` I get my entire header, nav bar, Google Analytics tracking code etc, which then appear inside the iframe, which I definitely don't want.
Is there a way in Wordpress to do some kind of include that will give me the basic Wordpress API but won't draw a full HTML header, etc, etc, etc from the `header.php` file? | If you don't want `get_header`, then don't call `get_header()`. It's a simple as that, the `get_header` function is not where all of the WP core is initialized. The simplest way to do this is using the template hierarchy to create a template for a specific page slug or id.
From the WP Admin, create a page at the URL you want to use.
Then create a template file that follows the rules for overriding the template for that specific page.
wp-content/themes/<your-theme>/page-tos.php
From there you can put whatever you want in `page-tos.php` and have full access to WP functions and API. And you can disable it by simply unpublishing the page from the WP Admin as well. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to remove Customize from admin menu bar after WP 4.3

Licensing a Plugin
I am developing some paid for premium features for my plugin which is already available in the WP Repo.
What are the best ways to validate licensing etc. for premium features? I want to continue to use the repo so "calling home" is not an option as it is against plugin guidelines.
These features are to be purchased annually so there is an expiry to consider. I'm fine with the coding side of things, just looking for a best practice method to provide a license of type without users being able to manipulate the expiry date - I accept the date will be within the DB somewhere and I am fine with that - I trust the users not to manually change
thoughts appreciated
Thanks | The only 100% way to get a paid subscription kind of service working is to move part of the functionality to an external server which is under your control and manage payment, expiry, etc there.
When the code is not under your control you can not limit its use, this is a very basic life fact of software development, especially when the source code can be easily modified. "Calling home" by itself doesn't really help much if I can edit the code and remove the check without hurting the functionality.
Since you can not prevent "bad users" from manipulating your code it is better to avoid thinking too much about protection. If your plugin will provide actual service in a good price point then most people will be willing to pay for it instead of wasting time on pirating it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a filter to remove or replace the post title's link in the admin post table view (edit.php)?
I thought I could use the filter `the_title`. But that let's you change the text only. I would like to disable the title link for specific pages. So the title text would stay the same, but the user wouldn't be able to click on it and get to the edit post page. I can think of two ways of doing this.
1. Adding a class to disable the link via css.
2. Disabling or removing the link vis JS.
Before going either route, I wanted to know if there's a filter that will accomplish that without having to resort to JS or css?
I have been searching the codex and hookr.io for filters , but I cannot find anything. | I would try something like below. Since `current_user_can` is called right before displaying the link, we have to hook where capabilities are checked.
function wpse200630_has_cap_check( $allcaps, $caps, $args, $user ){
if( function_exists( 'get_current_screen' ) ){
$screen = get_current_screen();

if ( 'edit_post' == $args[0] || 'delete_post' == $args[0] ) {
if( !empty( $args[2] ) && $args[2] == ID_TO_DISABLE )

How to add and submit input fields using a shortcode?
How can I add and submit the post without user login? By that I mean an offline user can add some content on WordPress and submit it, like simple forms in PHP.
I tried this code:
public function add_shortcode_fileds() {

function input_fields( $atts ) {
$atts='<form method="post" action="">';
$atts.='<input type="text">';
$atts.='<input type="submit">';
$atts.='</form';
return $atts;
}
} | You can create the shortcode like this:
add_shortcode( 'add_fields', 'input_fields' );
function input_fields( $atts ) {
if ( isset( $_POST['gg'] ) ) {
$post = array(
'post_content' => $_POST['content'],
'post_title' => $_POST['title']
);
$id = wp_insert_post( $post, $wp_error );
}
?>
<form method = "post">
<input type="text" name="title">
<input type="text" name="content">
<input type="submit" name="gg">
</form>

count_many_users_posts except current logged in user?
Is there a way to count and show the count of all author posts in a custom post type except the current logged in user?
I was hoping there's a way to do it with `count_many_users_posts` but it doesn't appear there is a way to exclude authors, only include them.

Using Grunt and keeping theme comments

Child Theme not loading parent CSS
I'm using the MyStile theme for a new site. I'm trying to create a child theme so I can modify the theme and not have my changes overwritten, however once I activate my child theme, the whole styling seems to go from the website all together.
I'm guessing the issue here lies somewhere when it's calling the parent _style.css_ file.
Here's what I have in my child theme's _style.css_.
/*
Theme Name: Blurred Edge Apparel
Theme URI:
Description: MyStile Child Theme
Author: Blurred Edge Apparel
Author URI:
Template: mystile
Version: 1.0.0

Am I missing something here? | Take a look at How to create a Child Theme and you'll see that:
> the previous method to enqueue the parent stylesheet was to import the parent theme stylesheet using @import: this is no longer best practice. The correct method of enqueuing the parent theme stylesheet is to add a wp_enqueue_scripts action and use wp_enqueue_style() in your child theme's functions.php.

custom template only for content
I've been trying to get into wordpress plugin development but I still haven't figured out how to customize just one part of the template, I've seen the single-{post-type}.php method, but this changes the whole template altogether.
Another method I've seen is short codes, but they become the content as in they are put inside the content container that I'd want to change itself but I want to change the parent.
I guess the most simple way I can exaplain this is that I want to change content.php of a theme for certain post types from a plugin

Even if you could, you would have no way of knowing what template part you'd need to replace. A theme is only required to have an `index.php` file and there are no restrictions or naming convention for template parts.
Your options are to create a full template and leave it up to users to better integrate it with their theme (like Woocommerce does, for example), or add a filter to `the_content()` to customize the markup just within the output of `the_content()` function.

update post category in a new table on frequent change of category

I've created taxonomy (schedule_day_taxonomy) for a specific custom post type (schedule).
add_action( 'init', 'schedule_day_tax_func' );
function schedule_day_tax_func() {
register_taxonomy(
'schedule_day_taxonomy',
'schedule',
array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'label' => 'Day',
'query_var' => true,
)
);
}
Now the taxonomy `DAY` appears only in the custom post type `schedule` I've created `7 terms' from the admin panel.
 ) : ?>
needs to be satisfied to display the " _Add New Category_ " link.
You can set the _capabilities_ for your `schedule_day_taxonomy` taxonomy, when you register it.
## Example
Only users with the `edit_schedule_day_taxonomy` capability can edit the taxonomy:
add_action( 'init', 'schedule_day_tax_func' );
function schedule_day_tax_func() {
register_taxonomy(
'schedule_day_taxonomy',
'post',
array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'label' => 'Day',
'query_var' => true,
'capabilities' => array(
'edit_terms' => 'edit_schedule_day_taxonomy',
),
)
);
}
Without this capability, users can't edit this taxonomy. If you need to edit it, you can remove this from the code above or assign it to your _admin_ user. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Disordered sidebar in admin panel of self-hosted blog network
This is how my self-hosted blog network's sidebar started to look, starting from yesterday:
. It happens in every blog that belongs to my blog network, including blog network dashboard.

Additional folder where will Media Library look for files

What's the proper way to sanitize checkbox value sent to the database
I have tried using `sanitize_text_field()` and `esc_attr()` to filter checkbox data when saving their values to the database, but it is causing the data not being saved.
What is causing it and what's the correct way to filter input `checkbox` and `radio`? | I would use the filter_var() function. It has some predefined filters that you can use depending on what kind of data you are expecting such as string, number, etc.
So to sanitize for a number:
$sanitizedNum = filter_var($yourVar, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);

multi-language multi-site with REST API
I am creating a site with multiple sub-sites that should support multiple languages and be queryable with a REST API.
The site itself is mostly a CMS with various pages and maybe some posts for events. The sub-sites are cities in this case, each with a different administration. Multiple languages means that every page can (but does not have to) be translated in any language.
Being fairly new to Wordpress Development, I am not sure if and how the different components work together.
WPML seems to have multi-site support. Apparently, there is also a plugin connecting it with the popular WP-REST-API.

Scripts not loading when using the wp_enqueue_scripts action
Really basic, I'm afraid. My scripts aren't loading when I put them as part of a function triggered by the `wp_enqueue_scripts` action in `functions.php`. If I put them outside of that action as part of the main file, they load fine, but of course this is bad form. So:
wp_enqueue_style( 'intranet-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
works but throws up errors in debugging but
function intranet_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'intranet-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'intranet_scripts' );
does nothing, it doesn't even throw up any errors. I must be missing something super basic but I can't for the life of me see what it is. Help? | `get_stylesheet_uri()` loads the **main stylesheet** of the theme. If you need to load additional stylesheets, you need to use `get_template_directory_uri()` for parent themes and `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()` for child themes.
If you have stylesheet called `custom.css` in the root in a child theme, you will use `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()' . /custom.css'`

Remove empty rows from the database
I'm writing a script to alter the post content column in the database and I just notice it has a lot of empty rows, these seem to be deleted posts that now have no content or anything, I don't like them.
Could i just `DELETE from posts WHERE content = '';` without breaking anything?
The database has around 40k rows, i can't afford to break it, its backed up tho. | I'd imagine those rows with empty content are more often then not revisions rather than trashed posts. To make sure you don't delete stuff you want to keep I suggest you add the `post_status` to your SQL, using `trash` and `auto-draft` as value - the latter are the revisions. Btw the table column is called `post_content` not content. So your SQL would look something along the lines of the following:
DELETE FROM wp_posts
WHERE post_content = ""
AND post_status = "trash"
OR post_status = "auto-draft";

No option to allow search engines to index my site in WP 4.3
I have launched a new company website, when I was setting up the wordpress install locally I believe I clicked 'do not allow search engines to index this site' despite only developing offline.

There is only a radio button to 'discourage', but nothing to positively allow indexing.

how to display featured image for single post for a specific category

function featured_post_image() {
if ( ! is_singular( 'post' ) ) return;

Disable automatic oEmbed of a youtube url within the content

How can you customize on a multisite?
How do multisites have the ability to customize the look of the theme (menu color, style, etc.) without changing it for everyone else.
Where are these separate files stored? | Looking into the Theme Customizer API, it appears that theme modifications are stored as `theme_mod`s which can be access using `get_theme_mod( $mod_name )` or (if you want to grab them all) `get_theme_mods()`.
Peeking into the source of `get_theme_mods()`, I see that the mods are stored in the site's `options` table as `theme_mod_$mod_name`. So the theme modifications are stored in the database, not in any files.

How to use oEmbeds on Post Content during AJAX requests
I have an AJAX request that returns a post. The `post_content` has links to Twitter, YouTube, TED and other platforms that are registered as oEmbed providers in a default, vanilla WordPress install. By now, the WordPress oEmbed handler does not register them and displays plain links and nothing else.
How can I fetch content via AJAX with oEmbed support? | Actually this was quite easy – when you know what's missing: The current post ID for the global `$wp_embed` object, so it knows what to refer to. The reason is simple: oEmbeds get cached as post meta data, so without knowing the ID, the MarkUp can't get fetched and replaced in the content.
// grab a post from the database
/** @var \WP_Embed $wp_embed */
global $wp_embed;
/** @var \WP_Post $post; */
// Add the fetched posts ID and add it to the global object
$wp_embed->post_ID = $post->ID;
// Execute the [embed] shortcode
$wp_embed->run_shortcode( $post->post_content );
// Execute the oEmbed handlers for plain links on the own line
$wp_embed->autoembed( $post->post_content );

How can I include properly javascript files in my wp plugin
I am creating a plugin for wordpress. And I want to know how can I include properly js in my plugin with correct path function. Thanks | you can use plugin_dir_url( **FILE** ) function to get the path of your js file. And enqueue script like this:-
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','ir_jscripts');
function ir_jscripts()
{
wp_enqueue_script( 'myscript',plugin_dir_url(__FILE__).'/jquery/script.js', array(), '3.3.5', true );
}

Favicon only appearing on the homepage?
I place my favico `favico.ico` on the root directory of my site.
Add the following code to `wp-content/themes/f2/header.php`:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.ico" />
However, the favicon is ONLY appeared on the homepage? How can I make it effective on the whole site?

**EDIT:** I set the `href` as the abosolute path and it works, seeing below:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href=" /> | I set the href as the abosolute path and it works, seeing below:

Using WordPress gettext functions in a library outside plugin or theme scope
If I have a library available through packagist that could be used in WordPress plugin or theme development, how should I address multilanguage support if I have a few strings that could be localized?
I know that there has been some debate on composer usage in the WordPress world with very different views on it. (For example: 1, 2, 3)
But my question here is not about opinions on Composer in WordPress development, rather what would be the best practice to localize a library meant for WordPress which is not a plugin or theme. I would avoid making it a plugin, because it's not and it's not meant for end users. But just like many composer packages, as a development tool to be used in other projects.
Is it safe to use gettext wrappers provided by WordPress and meant for WordPress plugins/themes? That would save time but I'm not sure if this would work or create any trouble. | WordPress doesn't quite have a _practice_ of localizing something that isn't core/plugin/theme.
My educated guess would be that it will work just fine with same concepts, but you will have to write custom loading logic. Use lower level `load_textdomain()`, since higher level functions are meant for plugins/themes specifically.
As long as you determine and load domain translation correctly, WordPress wouldn't care that calls are coming from the library context. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Which template file to edit to edit homepage in Mystile
The homepage I'm using is not a static page, and I'm currently trying to add a content slider to it using master slider. I'm not too sure which file the homepage takes on as it's template, so I'm not sure where to put the PHP function for the slider.

Localized version offers upgrade to en-us version
My Dutch 4.2.5 version offers to update to `WordPress 4.3.1–en_US` when I visit the dashboard.
I'm surprised that it does not offer an upgrade to something like `WordPress 4.3.1–nl_NL`
Will this work properly?
I do not remember how this went with earlier versions (i.e. what those offered).
[Edited to add]
Five minutes after posting this question a mail comes in which translates to: _Your site has been automatically updated to WordPress 4.2.5_. It is correct that automatic updates are on for this specific site.
What is going on? | (Answering my own question)
It is now 1 week after posting my question. I just revisited the dashboard. There are now two updates available: `WordPress 4.3.1–nl_NL` and `WordPress 4.3.1–en_US`.
So it looks as if the localized update takes some more time to prepare.
I will not click anything right now, assuming that the update will go automatically.
To be continued...
Added: Yes, the automatic update to the Dutch version came through... | stackexchange-wordpress | {

printf - problem to understand code
I've recently build a plugin and used the code from this post right here: Create more Meta Boxes as needed
The Code works fine, but I dont understand the last parameter in the printf section.
if ( isset( $track['title'] ) || isset( $track['track'] ) ) {
printf( '<p>Song Title <input type="text" name="songs[%1$s][title]" value="%2$s" /> -- Track number : <input type="text" name="songs[%1$s][track]" value="%3$s" /><span class="remove">%4$s</span></p>', $c, $track['title'], $track['track'], __( 'Remove Track' ) );
$c = $c +1;
}
I dont get the last part, which is saying `__( 'Remove Track' )` could anyone explain this to me in detail?
Thanks in advance!!! | `__( 'Remove Track' )` is a translatable string. `__()`, `_e()`, `_x()`, ... all of them are gettext functions used by WordPress for language localization. It is missing the second parameter (optional), which is the textdomain, usually it should be:
__( 'Remove Track', 'your-plugin-text-domain' )
In that way, the string can be translated by your plugin without any conflict if the same string exists also in another plugin or in core.

'offset' => $offset

To echo or not to echo?
Searching the code for related posts I found two almost identical code snippets, the only difference being that one uses echo:
echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="' . the_title_attribute() . '">' . the_title() . '</a></li>';
and the other does not:
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute() ?>"> <h4><?php the_title() ?></h4></a>
</li>
Personally, I understand the second version (which mixes html with php) better, but I suspect, WP being what it is (always preferring php over html), that the first version may be the official way of doing things.
Is there are any preferred way of doing things in this case? And if yes why? | The main differences are: the first snippet has _html inside php_ while the second one has _php inside html_. Both approaches are basically valid, both are fine.
I would however always prefer (and recommend) to have _php inside html_ because chances are that a third person / designer might have less difficulties in understanding the code and i.m.h.o. it is less likely to mess with it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WP Core hard coded to use http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml not HTTPS
I've searched here and the WP Codex but haven't found anything.
I have recently added an SSL Cert to a client site. The front end is fine and there are no insecure elements.
However, the admin dashboard has lots of insecure elements. A simple search shows that there are about 20 files in both `wp-admin` and `wp-includes` that have the following link hard coded: <
There is no switch, as when using this config: `define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);`
I understand what this link is, and why it is needed. But I do not want to edit the core to force Admin to be secure.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I fix this? | There isn't a proper https/SSL variant of the link you have given, so probably, likely you are getting problems when enforcing it - no matter how you do it. I strongly assume that is the reason why the "unsecure" URL is used in the first place.
From comment:
> So does this mean it is impossible to have a truly secure dashboard?
Firstly I'd say, the URL you are talking about is more or less documentary. Secondly, if an external source is malicious, then it really doesn't matter if it is accessed via SSL or not. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Custom Post Type pages are "not found"
I've created two new Custom Post types using code that I've used successfully on other projects without issue. The first is called `top_charts`, the other `case_studies`, and both appear correctly in the admin menu and I can create new posts.
Unfortunately the new posts don't appear. I just get a `404.php` response.
I've created an `archive-top_charts.php` to see if I can get anything to appear, but I see a `404.php` "page not found" reply.
I originally named the custom posts `top-charts` and `case-studies`, but I thought the hyphen might have been the problem, and so renamed them to use an underscore instead. It hasn't helped.
I've tried re-saving my Permalinks, but nothing has changed. My .htaccess page looks like what you'd expect, too (and other pages works fine). What else can I check? | For fixing custom post not found please use below code in your `functions.php`:
flush_rewrite_rules( false );
You should only do this as a temporary measure otherwise it will run on every page load.

Cookie settings for session across WPML subdomains using custom AJAX login
I am trying to enable a custom login session across both English and French subdomains.
-WordPress is installed only on domain.com.
-There are only en.domain.com and fr.domain.com as WPML subdomains, with redirects (as instructed here: <
-No issues with navigation across subdomains.
My AJAX custom login successfully signs in the user with wp_signon(). The AJAX request successfully returns 4 cookies. However, session is not initiated; on page refresh, user is still not connected.
When I login through /wp-login.php, the session is properly initiated.
It seems like the solution lies in the proper configuration of COOKIE_DOMAIN, COOKIEPATH & SITECOOKIEPATH settings:
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com');
define('COOKIEPATH', '/');
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/');
Anyone has a solution for this? | I continued looking for an answer elsewhere, and found one.
Basically, the "cookie domain origin policy" was the issue, not sign-in process. I was calling domain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php from a subdomain fr.domain.com.
I called fr.domain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php instead, and that worked. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to make a posttype show under a page hierarchy (example.com/page/posttype/entry)?
I have a page, say streets, which is a static page and has the slug `example.com/streets/`, and I want to have many single streets under it. Let these streets be called `streetdetails`, so a single street detail would be `example.com/streets/streetdetails/1`.
When I create a posttype with Custom Post UI, I always get just top level slugs, such as `example.com/streetdetails/1` and I cannot use the frontbase option either, as this is `blog` and will create false slugs.
How can I get that page -> posttype setup, that will put a posttype hierarchically under a page slug? | You need to alter your rewrite arguments in your `register_post_type()` call:
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => 'streets/streetdetails',
'with_front' => false,
);

Why doesn't the Media Browser use thumbnail sized images?
The folks updating our site oft complained about the media browser being very slow, so I went to have a look.
And, on the first load of the page, and when doing a search within the media browser, its taking a while to download each of the image previews, even longer than it should on our shonky office broadband.
So, I inspected the source of the page, and it became clear. Each image thumbnail is actually linking to the full size image, and resizing it in HTML, see:
![enter image description here](
Is this an issue anyone's aware of? Is there a workaround? I'd presume there should be a _built in_ thumbnail type for that purpose. | As per the comments, my theme was missing the system default `medium` image size.
