How to get posts with a metadata numeric key greater than X?
I'm trying to add a "Highlighted" section for each category on my website. This will be located in a page, using a shortcode. I'm going to add a new post metadata key which will be a number from 0 to 100. Each "Highlighted" section will list the posts in that category which have a score higher than 50, in descending order of score.
Looking in the WordPress Codex, I saw that get_posts accepts "meta_key" and "meta_value" as arguments. However, they seem to be specific values, whereas I would like to add a "greater than 50" condition for the "meta_key".
How would one get those "greater than 50" posts? | This kind of _meta query_ in `WP_Query()` or `get_posts()`:
'meta_query' => [
[
'key' => 'score',
'value' => 50,
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => '>=',
],
],
would generate the following SQL `WHERE` part:
wp_postmeta.meta_key = 'score' AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) >= '50'
This kind of _ordering_ :
'orderby' => [
'meta_value_num' => 'DESC',
'title' => 'ASC'
],
would generate:
ORDER BY wp_postmeta.meta_value+0 DESC, wp_posts.post_title ASC
If we use the syntax defined here, with the meta query array index as `score_clause`, then
'orderby' => [
'score_clause' => 'DESC',
'title' => 'ASC'
],
would generate:
ORDER BY CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) DESC, wp_posts.post_title ASC | stackexchange-wordpress | {

wpdb get_row database query inquiry
Is this the right way to use get_row with a select *?
$_crds = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare(" SELECT * FROM `mailers` WHERE `id` = %d", $_GET['caId'] ));
$_zipcodes = $_crds->zipcodes;
$_maildate = $_crds->maildate;
Is that the right way to pull the values from the database? I have a lot of records in that table I need to pull, so wanted to do it in one db pull...
but my code appears to not be working.
-Rich | For Placehold to work, you should use $wpdb->query like:
$wpdb->query(
$wpdb->prepare( "
SELECT * FROM mailer
WHERE id = %d
",
$_GET['caId']
)
);
However in my opinion, the best option is to simply validate the get-parameter and than use it in $wpdb->get_results , like:
$catId = $_GET['caId'];
if(is_numeric($catId)){
$_crds = $wpdb->get_results(" SELECT * FROM mailers WHERE id = $catId");
foreach ($_crds as $_crds) {
$_zipcodes = $_crds->zipcodes;
$_maildate = $_crds->maildate;

How do I link the side images?
This is my site: <
I want to link the background image to another page.
This is the code I have so far:
body.boxed-layout {

background-size:cover !important;
background-repeat:no-repeat !important;
background-position:center center;
}
The CSS is inline. How would I go about linking the background image to a different page? | I took a look at your site, and are you sure you dont want to make the .wrapper clickable? boxed-layout is your whole site, so if you made that clickable the whole site would be a link.
However, if I look at your question, the answer would be to use jQuery.
<script>
$(".body.boxed-layout").click(function(){
window.location = "
});
</script>
Note that this probably is not what you want!

Dynamically change feature image in customiser
For this client's Website I am making on their homepage there is a section called featured products with images showing off the product. Currently I have to update these images manually through my `front-page.php` file but I don't want the client to have to do this, I need a custom section in the customiser called something like `featureImages` and here he can upload his own image that then updates on the front-page. There would have to be 4 upload sections like:
`featureImage-1` `featureImage-2` `featureImage-3` `featureImage-4`
Then when he uploads a file to either one of them it replaces the currently one with the one he has. I've seen this on some themes but I just don't know how they do it.
I've tried searching for this but I don't really know how to put it into words for Google to give me a result.
I apprentice any help or if you could point me in the right direction if this has been asked before :) | The customizer has a special control for file uploads. Assuming that you already know how the theme customizer works, you would have to add four controls in this fashion:

'wpse215632_image_1',

'section' => 'wpse215632__section_id',
'settings' => 'wpse215632__setting_id',

how to change link of some wordpress pages

How to Prevent deleting user accounts in WordPress Back-end?
I have tried to find similar question. And I have not get any existing one. I want to prevent deleting administrators from the back end users table. only two admins can delete all users, But other admins cant delete all other administrators. I have tried this code. But if i go with direct url parameters, its allowing me to delete the user.
function kv_admin_deactivate_link($actions, $user_object) {
if($user_object->ID == 1 || $user_object->ID == 2)
unset($actions['delete']);
return $actions;
}
add_filter('user_row_actions', 'kv_admin_deactivate_link', 10, 2);
which actually helps to hide the delete link from the users table. but if i go with direct GET link its allowing me to delete.
So is there any function or feature, which will prevent the deletion. | A quick (and dirty) solution would be to prevent the final deletion where it happens (function delete_user). You could implement a little plugin or paste the code into your functions.php:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Please don't delete me!
Description: Prevent accidental user deletion of my account
*/
define('PDDM_USER_ID', 1); // User ID of your Account
add_action('delete_user', function($id) {
if ($id == PDDM_USER_ID) {
die('please don\'t delete me!');
}
});
This just stops the script execution just before your user get's deleted.
Not fancy and pretty ... but it works ;-)

How to control on which pages the Aldehyde theme's main slider is shown?
The Aldehyde theme is a nice open source theme that comes with a main slider that can be configured in the template's settings. By default, it is shown on the blog page, whether that is the homepage or a static page set via the WordPress "reading settings".

3. You will find that the first non-comment line looks like this:

Unkown meta_value in ACF

Below is a snippet from my database:
meta_id post_id meta_key meta_value
9394 4661 _carousel_0_image field_5683f27fd880e
So what exactly is `field_5683f27fd880e`? Is the `5683f27fd880e` an serialized or hashed value or something? | For every meta value saved there is a second row prefixed with `_` that stores what field definition this value refers to. Do not delete it.

So you have a repeater field called `carousel` which has a subfield called `image` and this is the first row:
carousel_0_image
As said an additional row called `_carousel_0_image` is saved by ACF to know which field this relates to. It is (if I remember correctly) some index relating to a Custom Post Type that stores ACFs Field definitions.

htmll lang="de" but admin page in English
I've set up a multisite Wordpress installation, because I want to work with multipul languages. Everything work except the lang attribute. I want the admin panel to be English, but I want to give lang attribute the value of the language of the site it self (for example german). The only way I see to that is to change the admin panel to that language.
The code I'm using:
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
The value I get on the site (with English admin panel):
<html lang="en_GB">
The value I want to get with the English admin panel:
<html lang="de">
My site uses a folder for the language not a sub domain. So the German site is: < | This is fixed. I made a small script to get this working.
Because it was a multi language site I just named the site's to the language they should be in. So the English page is named English, German page is called German etc. Made a small php script to check what the page name is so a variable will fill this one in.
PHP code:
# Check language of page
$currentLang = get_bloginfo();
if ($currentLang == 'English') {
$htmlLang = "en-GB";
}
elseif ($currentLang == 'German') {
$htmlLang = "de";

How Yoast SEO plugin works with variable %%name%%?
I know that Yoast SEO plugin doesn't create any database table then why in wp_postmeta numbering of meta_id are not continuous?
Is it because of Yoast Plugin?
Also I want to know how its feature of automatic seo by default %%title%% in post works?
Because when I tried to use variable %%name%% with %%title%% in post type page but %%name%% appears as it is and %%title%% shows title of my page.
![Error](
So I want that it takes authour name as per variable list of Yoast Plugin | It does not create tables, it stores data the "WordPress way" in the postmeta table, which is common to all WordPress functions. Because it's common to all WordPress functions, the ID's are going to be out of sequence for Yoast data, because it's going to be "commingled" with much other data that gets stored in that table.
As to your question about the `%%name%%` variable, it appears you are trying to use the variable **inside your post title** , which you cannot do. For it to work, you'd need to do something like so, _in your Titles & Meta Settings_:
`%%title%% - by %%name%%`
**IMPORTANT UPDATE**
This actually is a bug in the _preview_ feature on the post (as of version 2.3.5, and up to and including version 3.0.7). The variable `%%name%%` is NOT getting parsed properly.
However, if you view the page itself, the variables **are** being parsed properly, including the `%%name%%` variable. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Plugins rewrite rules the right way
I need to create rewrite rules for my plugin. This plugin will be running on a very large WordPress Network (+2000 sites) so performance is important.
Most tutorials and the codex recommend to `flush_rewrite_rule` on plugin activation and then to `add_rewrite_rule()` on `init`. But since rewrite rules are stored in DB it seems to me that we are wasting resources running `add_rewrite_rule` on every `init` (=every page load).
On the other hand you can't only rely on the plugin activation hook because if another plugin flush the rules then your rewrite rules would be lost.
I know that `add_rewrite_rule` is just some simple string and array manipulation and is not SUPER expensive in term of resources but it still feel not right....
Am I missing something? | The add_rewrite_rule function doesn't change the database. Just an array in memory. It is not an expensive operation.

What to do when child theme is out of date with parent theme
I inherited a site with Genesis as the parent theme and a Genesis child theme. The parent theme has smoothly been upgraded over the years.

So it seems like there is an incompatibility between the child theme talking to the parent. e.g. the responsive style does not exists.

* The genesis/style.css file tells me it's version 2.1.2
* And my child theme says `Template: genesis` `Template Version: 1.7.1` | So honestly, I think this is just my fault.

Check if page parent has certain template

How to handle "the_terms" inside loop
I have been searching google but I am really confused. I am trying to display the terms of the taxonomy assigned to the post. I am using `the_terms($post->ID, 'locations');`. The custom taxonomy is hierarchical.
Example: 3 terms assigned to post: `USA(parent) > FL(direct child of "USA") > Miami(direct child of "FL")`. What I get: `FL, Miami, USA` which means the terms are being displayed in alphabetical order. I want them to be displayed like: `Miami, FL, USA`. Can this be achieved? I would also like to remove the anchors from the terms and `strip_tags(the_terms($post->ID, 'locations'))` doesn't seem to work.
While searching google some people use `get_terms()` some other `get_the_terms` and others `the_terms` which is what I use and seems to work - output the terms. What is the difference between those functions? Am I using the right one? | To answer your first question
> What is the difference between those functions
* `get_terms()` returns an array of terms objects that belongs to a specific taxonomy
* `get_the_terms()` returns an array of terms belonging to a post
* `the_terms()` displays an HTML formatting string of term names belonging to a post
Because you need your terms not hyperlinked and ordered according to parent, I believe `wp_get_object_terms()` will be a better option here. `wp_get_object_terms()` also returns an array of terms belonging to a post, but is more flexible. You do pay for this flexibility though as you make an extra db call per post.
With this all in mind, you can try the following: ( _All code is untested_ )
$args = [
'orderby' => 'parent',
'order' => 'DESC'
];
$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'locations', $args );
$names = wp_list_pluck( $terms, 'name' );

To use custom post types, or not to use
I have in the past few years done more and more development in Wordpress and would like to get some feedback about custom post types/taxonomies.
What are the pros/cons of using custom post types, rather than creating your own database tables and your own admin pages? I have myself always used posts/taxonomies, but found myself restricted by the pre-defined relationships between each. I also noticed some modules do use them, some don't.
What would you guys suggest, and if both could apply, what's the logic behind it? | The rule of thumb in wordpress development is that you should stick with the highest level API you can use. From software development perspective it helps you get a better documentation for your code and reduce the maintenance cost due to the backward compatibility policy.
As CPTs have wrapper APIs in core and costume tables do not, it is easy to see that by default you should prefer CPT, and there should be very very very strong reason to use additional tables.
The only somewhat plausible reason to use additional table is if you need to be able to drop it, or you need a different index structure. Even then not sure if you will gain any actual performance benefit over doing it with less optimized queries.

Can I verify nonce which was generated on a different WP site?
I have a form with the action going to a different wordpress site. I want to use wp_nonce to generate fields in the form on site A. Can I use wp_verify_nonce on site B to verify the nonce fields? | In theory yes, but it will be a very bad thing to do. For that you will need to have the secret used to generate the nonce at site A in site B which means tht if site B is compromised site A might be as well (there is also some time synchronization that needs to be done between the site, but that the lesser worry).
There are two ways to properly go about it
1. don't use nonce at all. nonce are there to protect registered users and if the submitter of the form is unlikely to be registered or the form do not do anything destructive on the server, then no point in using them
2. Site A should embed the form as an Iframe from site B. That way the nonce was generated by site B and it can verify it without knowing the secrets of site A | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is the login encrypted before it is sent? If so how to do I encrypt it the same way?
I've moved my WordPress site onto a https server, but now I'm wondering if I still need to manually encrypt the login credentials for my remote login.
Is the default login encrypted before it is sent? Everything I've read, code included, is all plain text which is really bad for http sites.
In my other projects we used something like an md5 hash to encrypt the password before sending it. But I don't have that project and I don't know if WP is storing plain text passwords or hashed. So I'd rather use existing WP login code if it's available or an example code of how to encrypt it before sending it would help.
PS I'm logging in via a remote application.
PSS I've also seen the other posts and this is not a duplicate. | wordpress do not encrypt anything at client side, but encryption on client side do not help at all with security, it just make password stronger but do not help at all against Main In The Middle, or eaves dropping attacks. No matter how strong is your password encryption, if you send it over HTTP, once I know it, lets say by monitoring wifi traffic, I can use it myself.
Using HTTPS is the only real solution as the protocol layer ensures that everything is encrypted in a unique way per each connection therefor no one can repeat the same packets and gain access as it will fail in the protocol level.

It's not clear on the wordpress manual. | The difference is that 'edit_published_posts' allows the user to edit posts whose status has been set to 'published', in other words, live content. The 'edit_posts' allows users to edit unpublished (e.g. draft) posts.
For most bloggers, the distinction is irrelevant, but if you're using Wordpress for a company or a newsroom, you may want all posts to be reviewed by an editor prior to release. In that case you would also not want anyone but an editor making changes to live content. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Pass form input via url variable
I have an input field on the homepage of my site that asks the user to input their email address. When the user clicks the submit button, I would like to redirect them to another page on the site (which will contain a form for name, age, etc.) and pass their email address as a variable in the url. The reason I want to pass the email address as a variable in the url is so that the user doesn't have to re-enter this information.
How would I go about doing this? I have gotten the variable to show in the url but am having trouble retrieving it and saving to a variable. | The first form:
<form method="post" action="some-url.php">
<input type="email" placeholder="Email address" value="" name="email">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="email-submit">
</form>
Then in some-url.php:
if( isset($_POST['email'] )
$email = $_POST['email']
The post method would be preferred here since it won't create server log entries that include the user's email address.
You should also do this over SSL since you are collecting "name, age, etc." | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to add conditionals for IE browsers between certain versions?
I know that `wp_script_add_data` and `wp_style_add_data` are the correct functions for adding IE conditionals.
**_For example, this:_**
wp_script_add_data( 'foo', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
**_Would get you this:_**
<!--[if (lt IE 9)]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
* * *
**However, what if I want to do this (IE browsers _between_ certain versions)?**
<!--[if (gt IE 6)&(lt IE 9)]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js"></script>
<![endif]--> | Could you not just pass the different string?
wp_script_add_data( 'foo', 'conditional', '(gt IE 6)&(lt IE 9)' );
Which by the way is probably the same as:
wp_script_add_data( 'foo', 'conditional', '(IE 7)|(IE 8)' );

My Wordpress site hacked with unwanted popups
I have a woo-commerce shop on my wordpress but I've been attacked by some kind of hack. As you can see in the image there are lots of popup link on top of my site . How can I clean this ? I do not have any backup . ![enter image description here]( thanks | Without a backup, cleaning up something like this can take a while. Each hack is different and can hide in multiple locations. If you have admin and FTP access these are the things I would change:
Change all the passwords for every account on the backend. I would also look into setting up a Cloudflare account as it can help add an extra layer of security.
**Plugins**
Limited Login Attempts: It'll prevent bruce force entry.
Wordfence: Install it and have it run a scan on the site and directories. It should return any file that has been modified or is out of date.
I'd check through the **head.php** and **footer.php** files to ensure that they're aren't any scripts being dump in there. Sometimes you'll see a lot of random javascript or an iframe, delete those out.
Cleaning up a hack is time consuming and if you are unfamiliar with working with a text editor and FTP, you might want to hire someone. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to show only manual / custom excerpts?
I know how to add the more-link in the post editor to show the excerpt of post instead of the full post. In this method excerpts created automatically.
If I want to manually enter the excerpt I have to use the field excerpt (after showing it from screen options). I expected excerpt will be shown on front page like the method above, but instead the excerpt is shown over the full post, both are displayed !!
I need the manual excerpt (like in method 2) but to display only the excerpt on the front page without the full post.
How to achieve that (without coding if possible) for the end-user?
Notes: * I'm using the latest version of WP (4.4.2). * Theme used is "Twenty Sixteen". * Default plugins only are installed. | For the record and for anyone who comes next.
I found the issue. Although the excerpts is a native WordPress feature it is not supported -in the right way- by the "official" "pre-installed" themes like the twenty-xxx series.
Not Supporting (in the right way) a native feature isn't a common sense!!! It is a bad behavior of the official theme to display the excerpt above the full-post!!.
Excerpts supported correctly by some third party themes like FlatBox: <

Wordpress wp-admin suddenly lost its style
**NB:** I originally posted this on SO, but I was recommended to try here - sorry for the duplicate!
I'm really baffled about this. In the last couple of days (since I was using the site last), my Wordpress install has suddenly lost almost all of its formatting (only the top bar seems to work.
;
![enter image description here](
I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this all of a sudden. The front end if fine, just to reiterate that. | This sounded very much like a caching problem. Specifically Browser Caching.
Sometimes your Server may fail to fully serve an asset. Sometimes your Browser may incorrectly store an asset. This could have been a corrupt JavaScript file, or a corrupt CSS file. Either way, it was causing aesthetic problems on the Administration Screen of WordPress
Knowing that WordPress core, and subsequently Administration Screens should not really be modified ever, there were two options immediately available. Either you were experiencing a bad cache or your WordPress install had "gone bad".
Caching was just more likely.
* * *
But it sounds like you needed to re-install WordPress. That's odd.
What probably happened is that you recently updated and the update went bad. This can happen because of not upgrading plugins first, or sometimes it happens because they do a bad release (that does happen).
Looks like the solution was to re-install. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Best method to make posts searchable, sortable and filterable - custom field, tag or category?
I'm wanting to create/modify either the existing post type, or create a new post type to be searchable, sortable and filterable by the following fields:
* Country from:
* Country to:
* Activity:
Ideally I would like them to be:
* Searchable, e.g. I could search for posts from Country X to Country Y with activity Z
* Listable, to be accessible via dropdown menus
What would be the best method of implementing this? A custom taxonomy?
Through hierarchical categories? Using custom post data?
Thanks
Update:
I think the following is the best approach:
Custom post type that uses a custom taxonomy for each data point. | I ended up doing the following:
Custom post type for Deals:
Custom taxonomies for Countries and Activities, then a relational link between country from and country to as custom fields to the taxonomy :) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

creating a custom shop page display on archive woocommerce
Hello guys how are you? i am not that good at developing websites and i need to have more experience. can you guys help me? i had an idea on the screenshot i have on the link below. as you can see i want the circled one to be a category and the other non circled are all the products you have. i tried everything from plugins to editing a custom product archive but it really wont budge. i just want to know if my idea is applicable, doable or not.
Thank you guys always for helping people on codes. You guys are the best.
Thank you in advance. :)
| First of all, yes, and there are many ways to achieve this. The first thing you will want to do is create a child theme or plugin. One of those two is where you will be adding your code...
This can be done by using wp action _pre_get_posts_ there is a great post that Remi Corson has here to explain more about modifying if only on the archive page:
from on of his examples (with a little mod):
// Load our function when hook is set
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'rc_modify_query_get_design_projects' );
function rc_modify_query_get_design_projects( $query ) {
// Check if on frontend and main query is modified
if( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_post_type_archive( 'product' ) ) {
$query->set( 'cat', '20' ); // whatever your category id is here
}
}
something like the above (very much untested in your environment), but I think you can get the idea here... | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is revealing just the AUTH_KEY a security issue?
I am troubleshooting a Wordpress plugin issue. It is a plugin that generates a zip file of existing files on the server and returns a link to download the file.
The plugin
<
The plugin add-on that is the source of the issue.
<
The plugin creates a directory to save the generated zip file using the AUTH_KEY as the name of the directory. When the url is returned to the client it contains the AUTH_KEY as part of its path.
$zip_path = '' . SP_CDM_UPLOADS_DIR_URL . '' . AUTH_KEY. '/'
This returns a url similar to the following:
If any of the characters in the AUTH_KEY are not allowed in a url the download will return a 404. This is happening but that can easily be fixed by changing the AUTH_KEY to a string that will work in a url. My worry is the fact that it contains the AUTH_KEY.
Is revealing the AUTH_KEY by itself a reason for concern? | Well, `AUTH_KEY` and it´s brothers where introduced in WordPress 2.6 to improve safety for logged in users. They are used to encrypt and validate the information in your backend login cookie.
While revealing the `AUTH_KEY` alone might not be a real security issue, you should nevertheless not output/use this anywhere to give less surface for attacks.
Furthermore I don´t see why you would use the `AUTH_KEY` to prepare a folder/download link. I think it would be much better to use something like `time()` to generate folder names if you want randomness or uniqueness or whatever without compromising the security of the system.

Edit a WordPress site without the username and password?

mu-plugins is there something special I need to do to make it work?
I created a mu-plugins directory in wp-content
As long as it is empty, I have no issue, but the moment I put a file in there, even if the file is like this:
filename: somecode.php
filecontent:
<?php
?>
and that be all, no blank spaces or lines after the closing php tag, or after the first line of <?php
I get issues with the CSS on the website, stuff not working right.
I have no clue as to why it would be doing that. I even put the file in there blank, not even a single blank line. Same thing. Once I delete the file, everything is fine.
I've tested LOTS of stuff, any file in that directory breaks the website.
I've even tested it with different themes. Same thing.
So am I doing something wrong?
All I did was create the mu-plugins directory. was I supposed to do something extra? Like put any code in my wordpress installation?
Please help.
-Richard | The file you put in there is automatically loaded and executed by PHP before any of the normal plugins are loaded.
The issue you're seeing is because you have a "malformed" PHP file, in that you end with a closing PHP tag `?>`. If there is anything else after this closing tag, even only a line-break, this causes PHP to immediately send its headers and start echoing output.
If you file immediately starts with the opening PHP tag `<?php` and does not include a closing tag `?>`, you should not see this issue.
The same problem was when you had an empty file. This was interpreted by PHP as a normal HTML file (PHP is a preprocessor for HTML) and simply echoed. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can wp_get_image_editor convert to icon?
I have a very simple question regarding **wp_get_image_editor** (< I can crop, resize and save an image like this:
$image = wp_get_image_editor( 'example_1.jpg' );
$image->resize( 32, 32, true );
$image->save( $path . '/test.png' ); // Works with jpg/gif/png
It works perfectly. I can convert a JPG file to GIF or PNG (and vice versa), but I don't seem to be able to conver an image to a .ico file. So a code like:
$image->save( $path . '/test.ico' );
Doesn't output any image nor any error/notice. So at this point I wonder: can wp_get_image_editor actually convert to .ico files (and if so, how, what am I missing/doing wrong), or it can't be done?
Thanks in advance! | No. At least I've never saw it.
**Although** I believe that you can tailor some solution. Since WordPress 3.5 in `WP_Image_Editor` is added support for Imagick by default (which is a wrapper to the ImageMagick library). You can check `class-wp-image-editor-imagick.php` to see how it's integrated and if you have ImageMagick installed on your server, probably you can tailor something. But I believe it will probably be an overkill for a small set of .ico files. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
