WordPress website loads fine on desktop browsers but Safari for iOS cannot load it completely
Everything is fine on desktop browsers but Safari for iOS' loading bar for my website shies from reaching 50% for a really long time. The problem persists across multiple iOS devices I have. I have not tested on Android because I have sent it for repair and it's going to take a while to be back. I use a Content Delivery Network for my website but it's caching cannot be the reason because I already tried disabling it to no avail. I also use W3 Total Cache and I moved all of the JavaScript before the closing `</body>` tag. I thought that it could be the reason for the problem but the website loads fine on Desktop using the same connection for the iOS devices. | It was because of a plugin called Easy Social Sharing Buttons version 3.5 I bought from Code Canyon. It is quite feature rich and may slow down your website. I would not say you should avoid it but I would advise you to do an extensive research that your website is running fine on different devices and connections if you are going to use it and similar plugins. ESSB's stylesheet was 5 times the size of my whole website's stylesheet and it has many JS files as well. Use Pingdom Tools to find out what is causing your website to be slow just like I did and found out. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Possibility to use WordPress built-in localization
Is it possible to use WordPress default / built-in localization without text domain when creating localization for theme or plugin? for example word like `__( 'Submit' )` or `__( 'Publish' )` or any other common words should already in the WordPress localization dictionary. But if we're not specifying text-domain when creating theme it will not pass theme check. Or is there a text-domain for WordPress default one? Any suggestion? | It is possible, and in some cases make sense, but I would advice against thinking that way. Some words in the context of wordpress core admin might be translated differently in the context of a theme.
If the motivation here is to save translation time, then don't bother as any one with translation experience will use software that has a DB of translations and will auto translate such words. In addition common tools (poedit) are text domain blind and can not differentiate between different text domains, therefor it will be hard to not include 'submit' as part of the .pot file even if it is not actually needed to be translated.
Last and very least, loading the core translation is a performance hit that better to avoid if possible. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

User content database
I am trying to set up a login where in each users profile they can add their CV and details. These details and CV will then be shown in a page that can be seen by anyone. The user has the option to edit its information whenever desired and update the information seen in a public page.
For this goal so far I figured out that I need the TML plugin for the login, then I have been trying with Contact Form 7 and Contact Form DB to make the database that gathers the information from the Contact Form7. The problem is connect the profile or a contact form to the user logged in without having to force the user to constantly add a new contact form to the website.
Can anyone point me any headers? Plugins I should use? Is this possible to set up with plugins? Thanks in advance. | Based on my experience, I can say that with contact form 7 plugin it will require lot of customization to achieve what you have mentioned. I will suggest to use BuddyPress plugin with BuddyPress Docs
BuddyPress will provide you profile with ability to edit from front end. Also, you can add different fields to profile from backend **Users > Profile Fields**. By default BuddyPress provides ability to add few basic fields to profile. For advance options you can use Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin.
I tried these just to share some screenshots with you. Below you will see how the the profile page looks by default with WordPress **Twenty Thirteen** theme.

Why does the Hard Crop option Scale?
I have a number of custom image sizes. I noticed earlier, when I was publishing a new post, that the post image was cropped AND scaled. It is exactly the right dimensions.. but it isn't the portion of the image it should be.
This is the code in functions.php, for this particular image size. `add_image_size( 'post', 800, 350, array( 'left', 'top' ) );`
Take a look at the original size:
<
Now look at the "hard cropped" version:
<
It is practically the same image, only scaled.. | They are not the same. In the 800x350 image, a little bottom is cropped.
This is how the hard cropped work:
First, it scales your image to match your image size. It can be width or height. Your size is 800x350
* If your original image scaled according to 800px width has the 400px height (bigger than 350), 50px of the bottom will be cropped ( because you choose `'top'`).
* But if your original image scaled according to 800px width has the 300px height (smaller than 350), it will be scaled according to the height. Then the scaled version has the height is 350px and the width will be 933px, so 133px of the right will be cropped out because you choose `'left'`.

How to allow Readers to Select Post Order?
I added a select field for every category, tag archive page.
1. Sory By Post Date
2. Sort By Post Modified Date
3. Sort By (custom field)
When a reader select any of above how to load posts according to selected order.
I have no idea where should I start at least... | What you need here is Ajax. You will need to read about how to use Wordpress Ajax (link).
When your visitor click on select field to choose sorting, you need a JS function to handle the data about how to sort and where the visitor in, then a js function to make ajax request to server.
At server here (I mean your theme function) you will need a function to handle request and send the response to client. The handler function here is a WP_Query loop to loop your post according to the order that your visitor chose.

How to get Attachments(image) with specific width\height ratio

How to display author post count for multiple custom post types?
On my theme `author.php` page I have a number of posts displayed but it only count posts of the type 'post', I need it to count multiple post types.
I think they are trying to make this core but no updates for a while, see the ticket #32243.
I'm not a coder so I don't really know how to make it, can someone help me? | This ticket was fixed and closed in version 4.3.
Make sure you got the latest version ( currently 4.4.2 )
If we check out the inline documentation for the `count_user_posts()` we find this part:
* @since 4.3.0 Added `$public_only` argument. Added the ability to pass an array
* of post types to `$post_type`.
Note the default post type for that function is `post`.
So you will most likely have to add the post types you want, here's an example:
echo count_user_posts(
$userid = 1,
$post_type = [ 'post', 'page' ],
$public_only = false
);
to get the count for the user with _user id_ as 1 and post types _post_ and _page_. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

New options would need to be added in future updates to the plugin. | WordPress provides a default method, `wp_parse_args`, to combine a set of default options and a user-defined set of options. This method uses PHP's native `array_merge` for arrays, but also works when either of the two option sets is an object or a WordPress options string.
You simply provide an array of default options and an array of set options, and WordPress fills the options that are missing in the options set by their default value.
You can find this code, adjusted for your example, below:
$options = get_option( 'plugin_options' );
$options_default = array(
'plugin_option_1' => '',
'plugin_option_2' => '',
'plugin_option_3' => '',

WordPress has two proper approaches to fetching posts: the `WP_Query` object and the `get_posts` function. They work very similarly, with `get_posts` using `WP_Query` internally. However, as one would expect, `WP_Query` allows for more control.

Call a javascript function from another file

jQuery(function($) {
var slider = new Slider();
});
**file2.js**
jQuery(function($) {
function Slider() {
this.nb_ele = 10;
}
});
It seems that because the workspace of two js files is different so they can't call function from another one. Any solution? | The issue you have is that `Slider` is not accessible outside of its scope as that's defined by the `.ready()` though you've used shorthand for that. The function needs to be available in the global scope:
file1.js
function Slider() {
this.nb_ele = 10;
}
jQuery(function($) {
// ...
});
file2.js
jQuery(function($) {
var slider = new Slider();
});
If you want Slider to stay in the document ready, you'll need to use a function expression to add the function to the global object:
jQuery(function($) {
window.Slider= function () {
this.nb_ele = 10;
};
});

Woocommerce Product page edit
I am making an online store with every category using a specific page template; that's all done, but now, I want to edit the layout of that page template.
As such, every product will have:
* a name,
* an image,
* a short description;
_I would like the **product description** to be between the **product name** and **product price tag_** ,
* a price tag, and
* a _Add to Cart_ button.
My challenge: I have no idea about how to get started and need assistance in that regard.
What file do I possibly have to clone and or edit? | WooCommerce allows you to override its default templates. All templates are located in a `woocommerce/templates` folder. All you have to do is to create a `woocommerce` folder within your theme’s directory, and in this folder duplicate the files you’d like to override.
If you want to update the markup then you will need to copy `archive-product.php` and `content-product.php` files. If you just want to show a little description between the product name and price, then you can simply put following code into your theme's `functions.php` file.
function show_product_summary(){
$product_summary = get_the_excerpt();
echo '<div class="product-summary">'. substr( $product_summary , 0, 30 ) .'</div>';
}
add_action('woocommerce_shop_loop_item_title', 'show_product_summary', 10, 2);
You will see the product summary like below on product listing page.

Search and Replace Script Loader in Head Only Works in Footer
I've got a function that uses `script_loader_tag` filter to search and replace adding `asynch="asynch"` attribute. It works.
I don't want this doing anything in the footer, but rather the header alone. The following code is working but inverse and I'm stumped. It's only adding the attribute to scripts in the footer...
function async_js_mssa(){
//function to add async to all scripts
function js_async_attr($tag){
// Add async to all remaining scripts
return str_replace( ' src', ' async="async" src', $tag );
}
add_filter( 'script_loader_tag', 'js_async_attr', 10 );

Get and display a user's profile info?
I'd like to get specific info about all users with a certain role, then display that info on a page.
So, I'd like to:
1. Get all users with the role "Manager"
2. Get each user's avatar, first name, last name, and bio text
3. Display that info on a web page.
Note: This has _nothing_ to do with user ID or the current logged in user.
How do I do this? Every option I see in the WP codex seems tied to current user or a user ID. | You could create a custom template page for this purpose and take advantage of the appropriate class provided by Wordpress itself: WP_User_Query
Eg:
// Create the WP_User_Query object
$wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query(array (
'role' => 'Manager',
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'display_name'
));
// Get the results
$managers = $wp_user_query->get_results();
// Looping managers
if (!empty($managers)) {
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($managers as $manager)
{
// get all the user's data
$user_info = get_userdata($manager->ID);
//printing basic infos
echo '<li>';
echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( $manager->ID ), 96 );
echo $user_info->first_name;
echo $user_info->last_name;
echo '</li>';

Calling a wp_query $posts causes a 500 error

'post_status' => array( 'draft' ),
'posts_per_page' => '15',

This caused a 500 error. When I changed `$posts` back to the more traditional `$query`, everything was fine. Is `$posts` a reserved variable? | > Is `$posts` a reserved variable
Yes, it is, `$posts` is the global variable which holds the array of posts from the main query. This is how it is set:

Automatically use specific template to load subpages

get_theme_mod returning cached values regardless of apache restart

2. Shut Down MySql
3. Tried Ctrl-F5
I am at a loss as to how to remove / clear the cache that `get_theme_mod` uses.
If it helps I am using `XAMPP` on windows 10.
Thanks | If the theme mod option has a value in database, your code is working just fine as it should return the value in database and ignore the second parameter. The second parameter is the default value to be used if there is no value is set. And the value is stored in database.
The problem is that you are wrong considering that the values of the theme mod are cached in database, **they are stored in database** , not cached; the query to get them from database can be cached but if you need to update the value of a theme mod, you have to update the value already stored in database.

Save buddypress xprofile data to author meta

Actually I'll be retriving in template as `get_the_author_meta('description',$author_id) ;`

do_action_ref_array( 'xprofile_data_after_save', array( $this ) );
You'll need to use the actual `field_id` for your xprofile description. This example assumes it is `25`. You can get the `field_id`by going to `wp-admin > Users > Profile Fields` and clicking 'Edit' on that field. The `field_id` will appear in the browser url.

if ( $obj->field_id == 25 ) {

Why does not this wp_redirect work in is_single()?
I have a custom post type (portfolio) and I have to redirect a certain page (of this custom post type) to another page.
when I look at my custom post type page:
) {
wp_redirect('
}
but when I visit to the page (ID=2024) in front end it does not redirect to the page < why is that?
* 2024 - is a custom post type page's ID
* < \- is a default 'page' type not a 'post' type in wp. | `is_singular()` only accept `post_type`, use `is_single('2024')` for specific post.
if (is_single(2024)) {
wp_redirect('

}
**Update:**
Also `wp_redirect()` does not work after headers are sent. Please make sure you are redirecting before headers. So you can hook this function on `template_redirect` and put this in `functions.php`
function redirect_custom_page() {
if (is_single('2024')) {
wp_redirect('

Add arguments to get_the_terms for custom post types
When using get_the_terms to retrieve terms within a taxonomy for a custom post type you can't pass arguments, like so:
function custom_cat_function() {
global $post;
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'ID',
'order' => 'ASC',
);
$terms = get_the_terms($post->id, 'category', $args);
$count = count( $terms );
if ( $count > 0 ) {
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo '<li>' . $term->name . '</li>';
}
}
}
all documentation points to other functions like get_terms, but get_terms retrieves ALL terms within a taxonomy, not just the terms for that single post (within a loop).
How do you properly pass arguments like the example above (I'm aware the example above is not right, but I wrote it as a baseline example of what needs to be achieved) | `get_the_terms` uses `wp_get_object_terms` with defaults, which is orderby name ascending. You can use `wp_get_object_terms` directly if you want to set arguments differently.
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'term_id'
);

Use has_filter on comment_post
I hook to comment form (on comment_form_logged_in_after if user is logged in and comment_form_before_fields if not) to add 2 fields (rating and title).
These fields can be mandatory or comment will not save. These fields will not appear on comment reply or if review are not enabled for a certain post or page.
If these fields are mandatory, I've to check on comment_post (just before to save comment) if filter has run, and if not just save the comment withoud any comment_meta.
The problem is that if I try to use
has_filter('comment_form_before_fields', 'my_function_to_check');
when I hook on comment_post it ALWAYS return FALSE.
If, for example, I try to show
var_dump(has_filter('comment_form_before_fields', 'my_function_to_check'))
on comment_text filter it works.
How can I do this? | You're adding the action on `comment_form_before_fields` in `comment_form_logged_in_after`. The latter is called only when the user is logged in, and the former is only called when the user is _not_ logged in.
You can add WordPress actions and filters at any time after WordPress is initialized. If you're adding the action in a plugin, add it on `init` or even when the code is first executed (i.e. not on an action but directly in the plugin).

PHP/WordPress -- How do I check if Shortcode returns content?
What I'm basically trying to do is check if a shortcode is returning any content, I'm using a plugin called Ninja forms and they have default content posting using their own shortcodes which look like this:
[ninja_forms_field id=84]
Assuming it works like a WordPress's default shortcode, how would I check if it returns any content, I've been trying to get this basic PHP code to work but it doesn't seem to ever evaluate as true:
<?php
if(!empty([ninja_forms_field id=84])){
echo "has content";
} else{
echo "not working";
}
I'm using a WP plugin called "Insert PHP" to run PHP in the default post form, I did several test and this plugin runs PHP wonderfully, so it's the shortcode logic that's failing me.
Here's a quick Ninja Forms article on their Shortcodes, this might help | Run the Shortcode through `do_shortcode` and check what the output contains.

Show or hide custom fields by user's role [frontend]
Is it possible to hide or show custom fields by user's role.
For example: I have custom field "wholesale_notice" and it have to be visible only for my "wholesale" user role.
Thanks | Yes, it is possible to hide or show custom fields by user's role. Use current_user_can() for finding current user role. This function returns true if current user has capability or role. For example your current user is "wholesale" then you can use like this:
<?php if( current_user_can('wholesale')) { ?>
// stuff here for wholesale

Is it advisable to use $post->comment_count instead of get_comments_number( $post_id )
I was learning from the WordPress codex about global variables and after
`var_dump($post)` I found out that `$post` has a property called `comment_count`
I was wondering whether I can directly use `$post->comment_count` instead of `get_comments_number( $post_id )` inside the loop? Or does it have any disadvantage? | This is that classic question, do you have 6 eggs or half a dozen, and frankly, it doesn't actually matter.
It is however better to use `get_comments_number()` because
* the post object is retrieved from the `$GLOBALS['post']` global which is set by `the_post()` inside the loop
* the post object is validated through `WP_Post` (through `get_post()`)
* the output from `get_comments_number()` is filterable should you later need to filter the output | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_insert_post()
So I have a form that has makes the action jump to another php page.
There my php code tries to upload a post. I get the following error:

$post_array = array(
'post_title' => $_POST["post_title"],
'post_content' => '',
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post_array, true );
} | If you'd like to use WordPress functions inside your naked PHP file, you'll have to load the WordPress environment:
require_once '/path/to/wp-load.php';
That said it's best practice to NOT handle things via separate PHP files like that outside of WordPress, but use a plugin instead and fire your code on an appropriate action. You can use a page template or a shortcode to render your form, and then catch the form input on the `init` or `template_redirect` hook from within a plugin:
add_action( 'init', function() {
if ( empty( $_POST['action'] ) || $_POST['action'] != 'upload_ugc' )
return;
// Your wp_insert_post statement
wp_redirect( home_url( '/upload-success/' ) );
die();
});
Also, when working with user input, don't forget about security, especially for logged in users. In your case you'll need a wp_nonce_field at least, and probably run your post title and content through wp_kses. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

When should I call add_settings_section and add_settings_field?
All of the examples I've seen for `add_settings_section` & `add_settings_field` have them being called on the `admin_init` action. This means that they're being called when loading every single admin page.
However, my understanding is that they're only used when rendering the options page on which they're displayed. Is there any reason no to put all calls to `add_settings_section` & `add_settings_field` in the callback function given to `add_menu_page`?
I'm wondering because I've got a plugin where the selection of fields to display is determined by a call to an external API. I certainly don't want to have to do this on every admin page load. Even if I cache the result of the API call in a transient that's going to expire every so often. | You can call `add_settings_section` and `add_settings_field` any time before you `do_settings_sections`:
add_action( 'my_plugin_add_settings_sections', function() {
wp_remote_get( ... );
add_settings_section( ... );
add_settings_field( ... );
});
// On the plugin settings page output
do_action( 'my_plugin_add_settings_sections' );
do_settings_sections( ... );
You'll still want to `register_setting()` earlier though because that custom hook won't be fired when your settings are saved, so you want to make sure sanitize callback is in place, probably `admin_init`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can we add more than one control under a setting in WP theme customizer?
In wordpress theme customizer, we need to define a setting to add a control. My question is can we add more than one control under a setting?
If yes, how to access the values of those controls. In documentation i found that we can read values of settings. `get_theme_mod( 'site_logo' )`, but its not mentioned how to read value of controls.
If we can not add more then one control under one setting, what's the benefit of having settigns?
I believe i have missed something somewhere, that describes how both settings and controls differentiate with each other.
Any help is appreciated! | I would say no, because a setting needs a unique ID, if you have two controls with the same ID, they will set the same `name` attribute to two different inputs in the controls and conflict so only one value will be saved.
Actually do not see much point in having them separated at all, you can't really use one without the other in any meaningful way I can see, but maybe there is a use case for keeping them separate.
Instead if you wanted more control over a single setting you would need to create a custom control class with multiple UI inputs and javascript in it to help calculate a single setting value. But be sure to only use the setting `name` attribute on the actual element where the final value will be. Otherwise, better to just create another setting with it's own control. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Good plugins will provide API or filters and actions which will enable you to change their behavior without risking that an upgrade will nullify them.

And a custom post named "How are you?" I want to show the post to main feed marked as (1) but hide on post type archive feed marked by (2)
This is what I tried till now:
function archive_exclude_post($query) {
if($query->is_feed() && $query->is_archive()){
$query->set('post__not_in', array(40, 9) );
}
return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'archive_exclude_post' );

Pagination for search results of custom post type
I'm trying to display numbered pagination for search results of a custom post type. Basically a search form allows users to search a custom post type by 2 different taxonomies and then the results are displayed on a page template. I want to display 10 posts per page.
I've managed to get the pagination to work, but only if I hard code the tag and I can't seem to figure out how to get it to automatically add in the links depending on how many pages of results there are.
Pastebin of page template code - < | You need to set your paged arg in your $args array:
$listing_args = array(
'post_type' => 'business',
'posts_per_page' => 10,

'order' => 'DESC',
'offset' => ($paged -1) * 10,
'paged' => $paged, // <- tell the query what page we are on.
'tax_query' => ......etc
);

How to call thumbnail by aqua resizer in best practice. Specify image dimensions's notify from GTmetrix

wp_customize - detect post type to show/hide customizer options
How can I tell the customizer to only load certain customizer options based on the post type that is being previewed?
i.e. using:
is_woocommerce
is_shop
is_cart
etc.
When adding customizer option fields, I can check to ensure woocommerce is in the "active_plugins" array so those options are only provided if woocommerce is installed and active, however I need to find a way to only load those fields into the customizer when actually viewing a shop, product, cart, etc. type page.
My only workaround for now is using js/css to show/hide the fields but optimally when navigating among pages in the customizer preview, and since each gets a full refresh anyway, it would be much leaner to dynamically load those options only when necessary based on the post_type being previewed. | Customizer Controls can be displayed based on context. With `active_callback` API introduced in WordPres 4.0, you can control where to show your specific options. Add your customizer options like this with the optional active_callback argument.
$wp_customize->add_control( 'wc_cart_page_option', array(
'label' => esc_html__( 'Cart Page Options' ),
'section' => 'wc_cart',
'active_callback' => 'estore_is_cart',
));
Now create a function called 'estore_is_cart' to check if user is previewing the cart page.
function estore_is_cart(){
if( is_cart() ) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Note: You can also directly pass is_cart function check to 'active_callback' argument.

Autosave interval remains default despite wp-config.php defines
On site which I maintain there are writers that spend a lot of time editing single posts, and autosave every minute is very painful for them. So they asked me to set it to at least 10 minutes.
I found an official way to change autosave interval, so I've put this line in wp-config (at the end of it and there is no duplicate of this constant in this file):
define('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 600);
But it didn't help. I checked everything, browser cache, memcache, redis cache and even waited a few days.
But Wordpress still uses default 60 seconds to run autosave script. Any ideas why is this happening or how to overcome this? | You should not put any defines in the end of the `wp_config.php` it is actually explicitly stated in it ;) Every define you add should be above the line saying

Multiple endpoints in one URL
I am trying to add multiple endpoints in one url like:

function add_lead_management_endpoints() {
add_rewrite_endpoint( 'lead_id', EP_PAGES );
add_rewrite_endpoint( 'product_id', EP_PAGES );
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_lead_management_endpoints' ); | Not sure of the context for this, is it a custom post type or just a page?
This might be something which you're looking for -
function add_lead_management_endpoints() {
add_rewrite_rule(
'manage-lead/lead_id/([0-9]{1,})/product_id/([0-9]{1,})',
'index.php?pagename=manage-lead&lead_id=$matches[1]&product_id=$matches[2]',

);
add_rewrite_tag( '%lead_id%', '([^&]+)' );
add_rewrite_tag( '%product_id%', '([^&]+)' );

How do I get the labels from a post
I am new to wordpress and in the post admin section there is a place on the right that is clearly called `labels`. I need to be able to access these `labels` and display them on the post when it is rendered.
I did some research and i found this code below, it seems to make sense but does not do what I need it too.
<?php
$post_type = get_post_type_object( get_post_type($post) );
echo $post_type->label;
?>
I created 2 labels called `test` and `test2` and assigned them to the post. When this code executes it echo's `posts`. There is a label property in the `post_type` object but I do not believe that it is the one I am looking for.
` like so:
echo get_the_term_list( get_the_id(), 'labels', '', ', ', '' );
That snippet assumes two things:
1. That it's used in the loop.
2. That "labels" is the correct taxonomy name. You should go to Posts > Labels and look for `taxonomy=___________` in the admin page's URL to figure out the correct taxonomy name for use above.
If you need a list of post terms to work with in PHP, use `get_the_terms()` instead.
p.s. It's worth noting that "Labels" is not a core WordPress taxonomy so it must be registered by a theme, plugin, or other custom piece of code that may provide alternate ways of displaying the labels on the front end. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

latest posts shortcode with image

opcache_reset on plugin/theme/core update
wordpress it seem not reset opcache after plug-in/theme/core update.
For solve this issue i have set in the php.ini
opcache.validate_timestamps=1
all work correctly but `validate_timestamps` when it's enabled, PHP will check the file timestamp each request with a performance degradation. When it's disabled, PHP files are NEVER checked for updated code. When wordpress updating code, new code files can get mixed with old ones, the results are unknown. It's unsafe as hell.
Why wordpress not perform an `opcache_reset()` after each update?
alternatively... if I can call `opcache_reset` on action `upgrader_process_complete`, eg.:
if( extension_loaded('Zend OPcache') ){
add_action('upgrader_process_complete', 'opcache_reset', 1000, 0);
}
it is correct? | Several comments
1. just in case, you probably should check that the PHP version is 5.5 and above before calling the function (or check for its existence, not sure if an equivalent function existed in the original APC under the same name)
2. You priority is too high. You actually want to call it after all other plugins have finished whatever they are doing after an upgrade, just in case they do something that impacts any PHP files. Go for a priority of `PHP_INT_MAX -1`.
Your code might actually get triggered too many times if there are several upgrades done in the same time but except for slight performance hit I don't see anything bad that might come out of it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What user/group does Wordpress belong to in terms of file permissions?
When I check the file permission on a newly, locally installed Wordpress site (i.e. downloaded from wordpress.org/download) the owner is `ll782` (my username) and the group-owner is `admin`. Wordpress doesn't seem to belong to either of these.
I'm looking at the permissions for the .htaccess file which I want Wordpress to be able to write to.
e.g. `-rw-r--r--@ ll782 admin .htaccess`
If I change the permissions to 774 and Wordpress still can't write to this file. I have to change the group to '_www' before Wordpress can update the file. Should I be setting the owner to `_www` or is there a better way?
Secondly, if I SFTP the file to the server, will it retain the same owner and group? Will it retain the same permissions?
I'm trying to understand what `_www` is and why Wordpress belongs to this user/group on my local server. | I think the real question you have here is — what user/group WordPress belongs to?
WordPress itself essentially doesn't _have_ a user/group. From perspective of filesystem it is just a bunch of PHP source files lying around.
What is really "has" a user here is your web server and/or PHP binary. Together they _execute_ WordPress source files and any file operations are under _their_ authority.
In a nutshell — owner and permissions of files that you want editable need to be configured appropriately _for your specific server_ , which varies depending on the server. Obviously permissions need to be as narrow as possible (777 and such isn't wise that is). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it possible to set different payment gateway on each Gravity Forms form?

MU domain mapping without using a plugin

I don't quite understand whether you want to " _Redirect administration pages to network's original domain_ " or not.
In any case, as per the installation page:
> 4. "Redirect administration pages to network's original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)" - with this checked, if a user visits their dashboard on a mapped domain it will redirect to the dashboard on the non mapped domain. If you don't want this, remote login will be disabled for security reasons.
