Alternate text if shortcode returns no data
I'm using some plugins like beer list from Rescuethemes, and an event list, that use a shortcode to display a list of items. I put the shortcode into a Page, and it shows the data. If the shortcode evaluates to no data, like no beers in this category, or no upcoming events, I'd like to show alternate text, like "There are no upcoming events".
What is the best way to accomplish this? Is this something I can do as a conditional in the Page itself? Am I better off just doing the check in the plugin itself and tweaking the return value? Does something like this belong in a Page Template? | You should do this in the shortcode/plugin itself. An easy way to do it may be something like this:
// if the shortcodes empty:
if ( empty( $shortcode_content ) ) {
// set a default nothing found message
$shortcode_content = 'Sorry! Nothing found';
}
return $shortcode_content; | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Text Widget creates a <li>
I've got a basic text widget and, outside the standard `<div class="textwidget">` wrapper there is a `<li id="text-5" class="widget widget_text">` (which I have not added when creating the sidebar in `functions.php` or added when adding a text widget from the dashboard).
i.e. the full code looks like this:
<li id="text-5" class="widget widget_text">
<div class="textwidget">
<my content>
</div>
</li>
I'm at a loss where this `li` comes from. Any idea why and how I can get rid of it? | I think WordPress widgets create li tags on default. If you want the bullet points removed you could fix that with a css approach.

How to add page using HTML, CSS and JS?
So I have a client who wants a little extra that is beyond capabilities of my wordpress theme that I have purchased. I know through html, css and js I can create it from scratch (they want animations and a neat looking landing page). I was wondering if there was a way or any plugins that I can use to directly create a page using all of the code. Sorry if I am not explaining my question well! | You can create custom templates in WordPress defining the template name at the top of the template. This is a basic template that should help you get started. You can save your template with a file name like tmp-mycustomname.php and put it in your theme. You probably should create a child theme where you can save this custom template and add additional CSS without losing it if the client updates the theme.
<?php
/*
* Template Name: Template name goes here
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
Your content can go here.
<script> alert ("my javascript is working"); </script>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Once your template has been created go ahead to pages > add new. Then you should see something like this where you can find the custom template in the dropdown.
![page template](

Which is the best way to incorporate custom fonts?
I believe there are 3 valid methods of incorporating custom fonts:
1. put a link to them in the header
2. enqueue them in functions.php
3. add them with @font-face in style.css
Which is the best way to do it? Is any method loading faster than the other? | Depends on the source. If they are locally hosted, then they should be in the CSS files using @font-face. If they come from a service like Adobe Type Kit or Google Fonts, then they have to be enqueued in the functions.php to go into the wp_head() function.
Edit: I forgot to mention that there are some plugins that can handle this for you. I personally use Type Kit and I have seen WordPress plugins where you simply enter in the kit ID Adobe gives you and it takes care of insertion. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress updates defined vs add_filter?
I'm trying to create a WordPress update automation plugin. here I got two option to make enable and disable the updates.
1. Via define
ex :`defined( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED',true )`
2.via add_filter
ex:`add_filter( 'allow_major_auto_core_updates', '__return_true', 1 );`
my problem is if I have disabled the updates via `define` and also have enabled it via `add_filter` which one will work ? does `add_filter` override 'define'? or `define` override 'add_filter'? | Skimming through the `Core_Upgrader::should_update_to_version()` method, it looks like we **can override** the
defined( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE' ) // true (all), false, minor
check, used to setup the local _boolean_ variables`$upgrade_dev`, `$upgrade_minor` and `$upgrade_major`, with the following filters:
...
apply_filters( 'allow_dev_auto_core_updates', $upgrade_dev )
...
apply_filters( 'allow_minor_auto_core_updates', $upgrade_minor )
...
apply_filters( 'allow_major_auto_core_updates', $upgrade_major )
...
So these filters have the _last word_ over the `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE` constant check.
Similarly, the `automatic_updater_disabled` filter can override the `AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED` constant check.
But note that we can't override the constant itself. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Adjust Price Display for Variable Product in Woocommerce

reference link : < | Since WordPress is having trouble recognizing your custom template files, you could use this instead.
Insert into your `single.php` file. Based on your description above, it sounds like you don't have a `single.php` file so you will likely have to create one. If you do already have a `single.php` file then there is likely still some confusion with your exact problem because a custom post would only display the `index.php` template if there was no `single.php`. Or you could just be confusing the two.
<?php
if( get_post_type == 'acme_product' ) {
// Put the template code to display the custom post type post

How to restrict wp-admin and prevent upload errors

wp_redirect( home_url() );

Set default number of columns in gallery

Here are the settings on the right <
In codex they say "3 Columns is the default settings, which is ideal for most sites.", but not a word about how to change it. I have only found that I can add it to the shortcode ( [gallery columns="4"] ), but this isn't what I need | You can override many of the Gallery Settings using the `media_view_settings` filter:
/**
/* Gallery Default Settings
/* @param Array $settings

function theme_gallery_defaults( $settings ) {
$settings['galleryDefaults']['columns'] = 5;
return $settings;
}
add_filter( 'media_view_settings', 'theme_gallery_defaults' );
To change more settings, the easiest way is to use Developer Tools to inspect the actual field. What you're looking for is an attribute called `data-setting`. Grab that value and use it to override the defaults.
Of course it should be noted that this will not update galleries that already exist. You'll have to run a filter on `the_content` to change it on the fly.

Unabled to Change Permalinks - Even Using the "Edit" (Resets to Original Permalink on "Update")

<?php wp_nav_menu( array('theme_location' => 'primary') ); ?>
I am trying to find the easiest way to add `itemprop="url"` to the line elements for the purpose of Schema.org markup. However, all of the codes I have found seem overly complex. Any help is greatly appreciated. Is there a way to simply impact the line elements without impacting others menus? | To add attributes to the menu's li elements, you'd have to write your own custom walker that extends the default Walker_Nav_Menu class (which is itself an extension of the Walker class). For more info: <
But as itemprop="url" should normally be added to anchor elements, you could use the nav_menu_link_attributes filter.
For example, as per the WP docs, adding this to your functions.php will add the attribute itemprop="url" to your anchor elements within the list item elements of your menu:
function add_menu_atts( $atts, $item, $args ) {
$atts['itemprop'] = 'url';
return $atts;
}

$wp_customize->remove_section for customizer setting?

$wp_customize->remove_panel('widgets'); // ok
$wp_customize->remove_panel('menu_navs'); // not ok
$wp_customize->remove_section('menu_navs'); // not ok
What's wrong ? | Assuming you are trying to remove the default `nav_menus` panel, you have the id wrong. Also, you'll need to add a priority of at least 20 to the `customize_register` hook, assuming you're using that hook.

$wp_customize->remove_panel('nav_menus');

How to use theme function in post/page?

In WP I tried
<img class="first-slide" src="<?php get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/landing-banner.png'; ?>" alt="First slide">
but that doesn't work the same way or I need something different than `get_template_directory_uri()`.
BTW my output with this code is a literal
<img class="first-slide" src="<?php get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/landing-banner.png'; ?>" alt="First slide"> | Whenever using any WordPress function with get_xyz_etc() make sure you ECHO the function if you want to output the value there:

WordPress API - count posts
Is there a way to count the number of posts / pages via the WordPress API?
I'm wanting to insert a post then check, using the API, that the count has gone up by 1.

Finally, deduct one to take care of the header line which is not a post:

How do I hook into the container of wp_nav_menu?

<a href='".get_home_url()."' class='intranet'>H</a>

Direct URL to a template via plugin
I'm trying to create a "profile page" of sorts for users that I want to use the URL structure:
`www.domain.com/profile/USERNAME`
The system does **NOT** user the default WordPress users.
I've not attempted this yet as I've got no idea where to start! I'd prefer it if this page wasn't a Wordpress "Page" and I'd like for it to be created via my plugin's `profile.php` file (That contains the `profile` class).

I'm not sure what information to provide so if there's something I've missed please let me know :) | This really isn't the best use for wordpress. You are better off creating a custom post type called "profile" (see < or use a plugin like PODS) and then the URL rewrites are all done for you. You can enable / disable the archive page so that domain.com/profile lists all profiles or not at all.
Then add post meta (see < to your custom post type for extra fields you may want. I would recommend using ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) for this. ACF is a great tool for rapidly creating advanced meta fields for specific scenarios.

Admin mode breaks with subdomains in latest WP
This is the symptom/issue - I am using a subdomain, and latest Wordpress Rev, as well as PHP on server.

How to install seperate theme on certain page

How to display the modified post today

Dropdown menu's fighting with each other
I'm sure there's a simple CSS answer to this that I'm not seeing :(
<
On my navigation menu if you hover over a sub menu item, and then slowly move your mouse to the right, it will switch to the next items sub menu. I don't want this to happen especially for the "services" dropdown, because it has a 3rd tier menu I can't even hover over.
I've tried throwing z-index's on the sub menu, and all the items under the sub menu. Nothing I do seems to work, I'm stumped at this point. | The problem is that though your sub menu is set to `opacity: 0`, its still displaying, just transparent. So when you hover any area where a submenu is present, you're triggering `#access ul li:hover` which sets the opacity of the submenu with `#access ul li:hover > ul`. Try setting adding `visibility: hidden` to `#access ul ul`. Then add `visibility: visible` to `#access ul li:hover > ul`. This will allow you to keep the opacity transition. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

htaccess conflict between Wordpress and password protected subdirectory
I have a wordpress install in the root directory but also have a directory called 'admin' which contains a PHP membership system. I couldn't initially access this directory as I kept getting a 404 on the Wordpress site but added:
ErrorDocument 401 default
in to the .htaccess file and the 'admin' folder then became accessable. The admin folder now needs to be password protected so I have given it a htaccess file of its own containing:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "restricted area"
AuthUserFile xx.xxx.xxx.xx/public_html/admin/.htpasswd
require valid-user
but this now makes the 'admin' folder inaccessable again, is there something I need to put in either of the htaccess files to make this work or is there a different method of password protecting the admin folder without using htaccess?
Thanks | I have found a response on a forum which suggests that the only way of acheiving this is to create a subdomain for the folder which is to be protected, this works fine.

Handle POST request sent from an external site for login?
How do I send a `$_POST` request to my WordPress application from an external website, and handle it here? I want to send user credentials, along with additional login data, to perform an auto-login.

No, you don't need to define new URL.

function my_theme_send_email() {
if ( isset( $_POST['email-submission'] ) && '1' == $_POST['email-submission'] ) {
// Send the email...
} // end if
} // end my_theme_send_email

Ignore a more tag when using get_the_content()
This is such a simple question it seems yet I can't find a definite answer on it.

Duplicate "default" form with jQuery
I have this code:
// Add form
jQuery('.add-form').click(function() {
// "Copy" default form
formGroup = jQuery('.form-item').html();
// "Paste" default form
jQuery('#main-form').append('<div class="form-item row">'+formGroup+'</div>');
});
**Situation:**
* There's a form by default
* If you press the button, this code runs
* It duplicates default form & place it under default form
* If pressed again, it makes third form & places it under the second
* etc
**Problem:**
I need to store default form to code somehow - problem is that I need the new form to be with empty fields & with original DOM (it might change when fields are filled in).
**Question:**
How to store default form in code (hidden or something), so that it would always load default one?
Or is there a better way? | I don't know your html code, but here is how it will work. The idea is that you keep the original hidden elsewhere.
HTML
<button class="add-form">add form</button>
<form id="main-form">
<div class="form-item row">
<input type="text" name="abc">
</div>
</form>
<div class="stay-hidden original-form-item">
<input type="text" name="abc">
</div>
CSS
.stay-hidden {
display:none;
}
JS
// Add form
jQuery('.add-form').click(function() {
// "Copy" default form
formGroup = jQuery('.original-form-item').clone();
// "Paste" default form
jQuery('#main-form').append('<div class="form-item row">'+ formGroup.html() +'</div>');
});

get_template_part() does not work if you call it when you are in a subfolder
Say for example you have a directory like this:
theme
- subfolder
- template.php
content-job-listing.php
If I try and call get_template_part like so `get_template_part('content', 'job-listing')` from the file template.php (note this is just a generic name not that actual name I'm using) it returns NULL.
Similarly, if I use `get_template_part('../content', 'job-listing')` this also fails to return the template. However, the first one works fine if both are in the same directory.
get_template_part() does not work if you call it when you are in a subfolder of a t | `get_template_part()` will work the same no matter where or how deep you are within your theme. It always includes relative to the theme (or child theme) root.
So if you call the following from anywhere:
get_template_part( 'content', 'job-listing' );
... it will try to load (in order):
1. `child-theme/content-job-listing.php`
2. `parent-theme/content-job-listing.php`
3. `child-theme/content.php`
4. `parent-theme/content.php`

Is it safe to use WordPress generated classes?
I'm currently customizing a theme in WordPress and was wondering if it's safe to use the WordPress generated classes in my CSS.
For example, is it okay to use `.page-id-105`? Is there any chance that the ID could automatically be changed in the future by WordPress and then re-indexed? | Post ID Specific Classes are not reliable at all. The ID is based on _when_ the page was created ( in what order since IDs auto-increment ). If the user "accidently" permanently deletes the page and needs to recreate it the page will have a new ID and thus not use any of the predefined styles. The best bet would be to use a Custom Page Template so the user can assign it to a specific page. This is probably the most user-friendly method. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Where is wordpress redirecting wp-admin/admin/dashboard to wp-admin and how to turn it off
I mean when we have subdirectory install and /wp-admin/ is not referencing to directory wp-admin, but wordpress stills redirects and not just for wp-admin slug but also for admin and dashboard and maybe some more?
Where is this happening? It is not in rewrite rules? Is it hard coded?
I don't want this behavior and i want to turn it off, but i want clean solution, nota check url and if slug is present than do my redirect.
Edit:
When you visit `example.com/login` you're redirected to the login page, and `example.com/dashboard` redirects to the admin area. How can I disable this behaviour or change the redirect location?
I have my own login and dashboard interfaces and would like to use those instead | you can remove this functionality by adding this code in a plugin or theme
`remove_action( 'template_redirect', 'wp_redirect_admin_locations', 1000 );`

Wordpress Is Saving Original Image Only
I have spent a few days wrestling with this issue. I have also searched for a similar question to no avail.
When I upload a new image, The only file being created on the server is the original image. (I am checking the upload folder through FileZilla.)
Then, when the image object is returned it has the same url for all image sizes. Eg `$image['sizes']['thumbnail']` is the same as `$image['sizes']['large']`.

Is it normal for a scheduled post to say "Missed Schedule"
There is a custom post type I am making called announcements. When I set it to a future publishing time, say at 8:00. It will say at 8:01 'Missed Schedule'. However after a little while I will refresh and it publishes. Is this expected behaviour? | In short, yes. When wp-cron is not triggered frequently enough it will miss scheduled publish times. The behavior you mentioned above is normal. A visit to your site will automatically trigger wp-cron in the background and any "Missed Schedule" posts will be published promptly.
To get more consistent behavior from wp-cron I'd recommend setting up a CRON JOB on your web server to run wp-cron on a regularly scheduled interval (every 30 minutes, every hour, etc.) By doing this you are instructing wp-cron to maintain your scheduled tasks without relying on web traffic to trigger wp-cron for you. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Where do the favicons for Media Files come from
I have uploaded some PDFs to the Media Library.
I cannot find a way to set the browser favicon for the PDF media files.
Where does WordPress get the favicon from?
Is there anyway to control the PDF Media file favicon? | To summarize the discussion in the comments, the answer for the question as it is asked is that it is not possible. The web standards as they are right now do not have a facility to declare a favicon for PDF files, only for the whole domain via the favicon.ico file.
You can try to hack around it by
1. set the favicon.ico at the root of the site to the icon you want to be associated with media files and use the wordpress 4.3 site icon feature to handle the icon for the html (which should have priority over the favicon.ico).
2. server the media files from a different domain (for example a subdomain of the main site) and set there a favicon.ico that you want to be associated with the media files. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Does Deactivating a Plugin Help Anything?
Does deactivating a plugin help with any performance on your website? I mean is it worth deactivating plugins that you don't use constantly? Does uninstalling a plugin make any difference from deactivating a plugin? | **Yes**
The overhead of a plugin sitting in your plugin folder is negligible, and would have an impact on the plugins page. The main area of optimisation here is the % of free space on your filesystem.
Active plugins on the other hand can run queries, make remote requests, do expensive parsing, filesystem operations, and all manner of expensive, longwinded, slow operations.
Not all plugins are expensive to run however. Hello Dolly is a simple plugin that does almost nothing, whereas a plugin that fetches RSS feeds and creates posts can be an expensive plugin when you give it a lot of feeds.
If a plugin is expensive to run, deactivating it fixes that. A deactivated plugin is just a file sitting on the filesystem, not being executed.
Is it worth getting rid of plugins you aren't using? So long as they're kept up to date, there's no reason to remove them, but I would recommend keeping the plugins installed to those you actively use as not all plugins are maintained | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Categories overview that links to page displaying posts
**I am trying to achieve the following**
A page that displays a series of categories with a title, description and an image
When a category is clicked, all posts that belongs to that category gets shown.
**I see 2 ways to achieve this:**
I could create a custom taxonomy, ad an image field and list all the categories in this taxonomy in a custom template. How to handle the templating for displaying the posts when a category is clicked, I am not sure of.
I could create a template with categories registered and saved with wp_option, then from each post choose a category, then make a custom query to select all posts in that category. Again I am not sure which type of template to create.
**_What is the correct way to achieve this?_** | There is no need to create a custom taxonomy or custom template.
When we click on any category then wordpress by default called archive.php file which has code for display posts related to that particular category.
So first use this code in any of your php template file to display category lists:
<?php
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
echo '<ul>';
$categories = get_categories($args);
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo '<li><a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . $category->name . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
?>
Which display category titles, likewise you also can display category descriptions and images.
And when you click on the category title, then it will call wordpress archive.php file which display posts related to that particular categoty. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Currently, any links coming in to the sub directory site that should return a 404 are returning a soft 404 on the main or root site.

if ($current_blog == 2) {
get_template_part('404', 'subdirectorysite');
} else {

Hash user emails in database?
I have a wordpress based website, a very important thing is that no one should get to know the email addresses of the people who will admin.
I will make the whole website private but I am still thinking what else could I do. So I got the idea I could hash the emails in the db.
Has anyone done that?
What are the functionalities that need email address? As far as I know it is only needed when creating the user, because the password is sent to the user, and then it is needed at a password reset. So I would need to modify these so that it decrypts the email first.
Is there anything else? Do you think it's useless as a security measure? | Hashing is a one-way function, meaning you can't get back an original string from a hash value.
You could use the PHP function `mcrypt_encrypt` to "encrypt" the email address and `mcrypt_decrypt` to convert it back.
If you went that route, you could hook into `password_reset` to decode the email address before the password reset is sent, and then hook into `password_reset_after` to encode it again after. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

get_users() timeout on big userbase -- options to divide query?
We run a daily cron that gets **all** the users' data and updates their values. The problem is that get_users() is timing out because of the big userbase. Yes, I can update the `php.ini` file and increase the timeout limit, but it would only delay the inevitable.
So, potential solution is to `get_users()` in batches. For example, on the first batch, we get the users with ID 1-1000. Is the best approach to use the `include` parameter and list 1-1000 IDs in an array? Seems quite desperate.
What other options are there for scenarios like these? | You are on the right track with the batch idea. You'll need a combination of parameters in your get_users() call. A combination of the "number" and "offset" parameters should get you what you need. In the example below $count is a reference to the batch that's currently running.
<?php
// inside a loop where $count is the number of times the loop has run
$args = array(
'number' => 1000,
'offset' => $count * 1000,
);
get_users($args)
?>
UPDATE: $count would start at 0.
The first time through the loop you'd get a set of 1000 users starting from the first user in the database because 0 * 1000 = 0 (no offset)
The second time through the loop you'd get another set of 1000 users starting from the 1001st user in the database because 1 * 1000 = 1000 (i.e. skip the first 1000 results and retrieve the next set)
Your loop should continue for as long as you have results being returned. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

remove/hide wp-editor
I have created a meta-box for a certain page_template.
So if the adminpage is loaded with the template it shows the metabox.
This does not require the wp-editor to add content. So I would like to hide or disable it.
I have searched the interwebs but they all came up with the disablement of the viaual editor or the html editor.
Anybody any ideas to do this with a function or some CSS?
M. | I believe the helper you're looking for (assuming we're not dealing with a custom post type) is:
<?php remove_post_type_support('page', 'editor'); ?>
When dealing with a custom post type you can exclude 'editor' from the 'supports' parameter to initialize the post type without the editor window.
Finally, if you are trying to disable the editor only when a specific page template is selected from the "Template" drop down menu, your best bet is likely a Javascript/jQuery approach to HIDE "#postdivrich" after an onChange event is triggered by "#page_template".

PM PRO addon package check user access to a specific post
I have pmpro addon package installed and need to check whether user has access to post and then display text depending on that. Here's the code
function members_only() {
if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$post_id[]=array(361,369,367,371,476);

?>
<style>
.pricing-button {
display:none;
}
</style>
<?php
}
}
}
add_action('wp_head','members_only');
But not functioning, no error as well. Thank in advance for any help. | Got the answer figured out,dont know exactly what was wrong but just entered the ID( i.e 376) in each section instead of $post_id[0] array.

Decide Metabox Configurations for All Users
How can I decide the metabox configurations for all the users on my website? Specifically the Dashboard metaboxes I want to make a default configuration for.

Remove 'style=' from Tag Cloud

return preg_replace("/style='font-size:.+pt;'/", '', $string);

Hide admin bar on certain post type
I've got a custom post type - ID `productpopup`\- which I want to hide the admin bar for all users _including admin_. The theory behind my function is as follows:
The post type is selected using
get_post_type( $post ) == 'productpopup'
And then the Admin Bar is hidden using
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
So putting the following in my themes `functions.php` in my mind should work, but it doesn't
if ( get_post_type( $post ) == 'productpopup' )
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
Wordpress 4.3.1 | Don't hack your Wordpress core. It's overriden after every upgrade (plugins do exist for some reason).
You can solve your problem in this way:
1) Open your `single.php`.
2) Define
<?php
function hideAdminBar ($post_id)
{
if (get_post_type ($post_id) == 'post')
{
add_filter ('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');
/* For removing the top blank space. */
echo '<style type="text/css" media="screen">
html { margin-top: 0px !important; }
* html body { margin-top: 0px !important; }
</style>';
}
}
?>
3) Inside The Loop, call this function right after the `while` condition. Like this:
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
<?php hideAdminBar (get_the_ID ()); ?>
/* etc. */
<?php endwhile; ?>

How do I turn a 404 page into an automatic search with the info from the url?
All 404 implementations seem to revolve around showing related content. I think we can do one better by automatically searching for the missing post... How can this be done? | This can be done in two easy steps.
1. Upgrade your site search with a plug in, such as Relevanssi (optional).
2. Add the following code in functions.php or via Code Snippets (thx to @Howdy_McGee and Russell Jamieson for ideas!)
function wpse_204310() {
global $wp_query;
if( is_404()
&& !is_robots()
&& !is_feed()
&& !is_trackback()
) {
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$clean = str_replace( "/", "%20", $uri );
$clean2 = str_replace( "-", "%20", $clean );
wp_redirect( home_url( "/?s={$clean2}" ) );
exit();
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpse_204310' );
That's it. This code will parse the url for the blog title, and pass it along to your search page. All transparent to the user. This assumes a simple permalink structure, such as domain.com/post-title | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Jetpack: Display Site Title when no Site Logo
How do I use an if else statement to display site title if no site logo is selected in the customizer when using jetpack? I have php code written but it's not working. I think it's because `function_exists('jetpack_the_site_logo')` checks to see if jet pack is activated, not whether the Site Logo section contains an image:
`<?php if (function_exists('jetpack_the_site_logo')) : ?> <?php jetpack_the_site_logo(); ?> <?php else : ?> <h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1> <?php endif; ?>` | According to this the `jetpack_has_site_logo();` is what I need to accomplish this. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Current author archive in navigation menu

Network not displaying all sites and users
We have more than 10,000 users and blogs on our wordpress network.
There are 2 problems:
1. admin blogs listing wp-admin/network/sites.php only displays 1 page, no pagination, not displaying all blogs list, not displaying blogs count.
2. admin users listing wp-admin/network/users.php only displays 1 page, no pagination, not displaying all users list, displaying users count (10113).
Please advice how can we fix this. | When WordPress builds such a list, it runs a check against the function `wp_is_large_network()`. It sets a limit of 10000 for users and sites, and when you hit that limit, expensive database operations aren't executed anymore.
There are two filters with the same name, so you can change the limit.
Example:
add_filter( 'wp_is_large_network', function( $state, $type, $count ) {
if ( 'users' === $type )
return $count > 30000;
if ( 'sites' === $count )
return $count > 20000;
return $state;
}, 10, 3 )
If you just want to turn off that restriction completely, use:
add_filter( 'wp_is_large_network', '__return_false' );
