How to add an attribute data-slug = "$specfic_page_slug" in WordPress menu item?
I want to add custom attribute in WordPress menu item which has specific page slug. like this -
<li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-101" id="menu-item-101"><a href="javascript:;">Meet The Therapist</a></li>
Change to
<li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-101" id="menu-item-101" data-slug="$specific_page_slug"><a href="javascript:;">Meet The Therapist</a></li>
Thanks in advance. | It would be easier to add this on a menu _link_. The attributes for each link pass through the `nav_menu_link_attributes` filter.
You should be able to use it to add a custom one, along the lines of (not tested):
add_filter( 'nav_menu_link_attributes', function( $atts, $item ) {
// check if $item is what you need
$atts['data-slug'] = 'something';
return $atts'
}, 10, 2);
To change the whole list items you would have to use more general `walker_nav_menu_start_el` filter, which only passes string you would have to cut up more messily. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Gather posts into a cart/lightbox and share with another user
Ok I've almost completed a Wordpress site that is a multi-user Image Library. This is a **private** site, where users **must** be logged-in to view it.
The average user **cannot** get to the backend (wp-admin) **at all**. They are kept at the front end.
So my question is this: What is a clever way to enable a user to be able to 'add' a post (each post is an image - featured image) to a kind of 'cart' or 'lightbox' that is attached to themselves as a user (eg. the cart/lightbox is still there when they log back in - think iStockphoto) and **then** be able to share this 'cart' or 'lightbox' **via email** with someone else? ^See note below.
Tricky points bonus: I'm hoping that users can have more than one lightbox ('cart'), although this may not be a game-killer.
^ Note - sharing this link via email will **not** make anything publicly available. **The sharing link will only work for other users who are able to login**. | I think you might have to modify the plugin, fork it, if you like the rest of it's functionality.
Then add functionality that when you "favourite" a post/image, instead of adding it to your favourites you get a list which collection you want to add it to. All of these collections could have their own url like www.mysite.com/user/collections/collection-name . | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Why Wordpress CMS uses an array in wp_options instead of a field for Sticky posts?
In WordPress we can pin (sticky) a post.
Wordpress uses an option in `wp_options` table named 'sticky_posts' with an array list of sticky posts!
As a normal condition WordPress should add a field named 'sticky' in `wp_posts` table.
My question is why does WordPress use this way and what are Pros and Cons of this method? | Sticky posts are a feature of the home page, not of the post. The post has no reason to "know" it is sticky. The home page OTOH do not have any formal form of storage and therefor traditionally options related to it are stored in the options table | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Category next page link not working
When I go to a category page and it lists the posts that are in that category, it lists 10 per page. At the bottom of the page it has the link for next page, but that link returns a 404 error.
The first page of the category which works fine is <
But when I click next, or directly on a page number, the url is <

Any ideas on how I could do this? | If I am understanding you have a taxonomy that is shared across multiple post types? And you want to make a custom template for each post type using the Wordpress's templating system. Which isn't possible.
What you could do is add conditionals to your `taxonomy-disrupt-categories.php` to check what the current post type is and load different template parts depending on which post type it is. eg:
if('disrupt-founders' == get_post_type()) {
// disrupt-founders unique template
get_template_part('content', 'founders');
} elseif('another-post-type' == get_post_type()) {
// another unique template
get_template_part('content', 'another');

// default template

ACF scheduled repeater fields
1. Is there a way to schedule repeater fields to appear on the front end at start date & time and be taken down at end date & time?
2. Is there a way to have those repeater fields deleted from the admin at end date & time? | 1. Yes.
You could keep other fields to specify the timestamp of the start and end dates. You then compare the timestamp on the front-end. If the current timestamp is larger than the start date and smaller than the end date, display the fields.
2. Yes, kinda.
I don't know if there's a straightforward way to do it, but you can probably write a function to check the repeater fields from the `postmeta` table and delete them using delete_post_meta. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Using depth=n in wp_list_pages
I'm wondering what is the proper way to use depth n in wp_list_pages. I currently have a menu in my sidebar that goes 4 levels deep but I'd like to prevent levels 3 & 4 from displaying.
The codex says:
> **'depth'**
>
> (int) Number of levels in the hierarchy of pages to include in the generated list. Accepts -1 (any depth), 0 (all pages), 1 (top-level pages only), _**and n (pages to the given n depth)**_. Default 0.
I've tried:
wp_list_pages('child_of=124&title_li&depth=n(2)')
wp_list_pages('child_of=124&title_li&depth=n2')
I can't seem to find any examples on how to use depth in this instance. | `depth=n2` should be `depth=2`. `n` is just a "placeholder" and should be replaced by the actual integer value of your choice | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do I retrieve a users' last 5 posts?
How do I retrieve a particular users last 5 blog posts?
Currently, I am trying the following approach, but it seems that it is retrieving the actual post titles and permalinks:
<?php
$allUsers = get_users('orderby=post_count&order=DESC');
?>
When I do a `var_dump` on `$allUsers` I see a lot of information (including username and password info). I am looking specifically for the titles of the posts they have written along with the permalinks for those posts. | Basically, when you want get posts, you should think about `WP_Query`. It's already in the docs for your question.
You can get posts by an author like this
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'author' => AUTHOR_ID,
'posts_per_page' => 5
) );
You can even get posts by more than one author, like this
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'author__in' => array( AUTHOR_ID, ANOTHER_AUTHOR_ID ),
'posts_per_page' => 5
) );
Because WP_Query is sort by date and order descending by default so you don't need specify that information. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do I require a file in a shortcode?

Any idea on why this is happening would be great. Thank you. | Shortcodes are expected to return content, not echo it out. So if your `shortcode_file.php` file is straight html, it's considered being echoed.

How can I get .html URL suffixes in permalinks?

`.html` ending can be easily archive by setting in Options > Permalink or using plugin like Custom Permalink.
But that's just personal style. Having `html` or not is now just different in length of URL. For me, the shorter one is better. It's has no effect on SEO score.

Shortcode templates
I don't know if this is the correct way to approach this, but here it goes. I'm working on Visual Composer (but could be vanilla WP), and I'm trying to implement a shortcode which generates another bunch of shortcodes. Somewhat a template shortcode.

[test title="some title"]

[another_shortcode]
[title]some title[/title]
[get_posts total="5"]
[/another_shortcode]
Which will be further processed until the HTML is generated.
The thing that I'm trying to achieve is to tell the user to use some shortcodes which will generate a concrete Visual Composer shortcodes. This way I'm **abstracting away the layout** and if there are lot's of pages with a given layout they can be changed changing the shortcode.
Does make any sense? Is it doable? | Using `do_shortcode` within a shortcode does the trick of parsing the inner shortcodes. More information here: < | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Extra themes - ok or bad?
I know I am a newbie here, but I'm just wondering, if you keep extra themes in your Wordpress setup, will it add bloat to your site? Can these other themes provide a security risk even if they aren't activated?

Thankyou! | Any extra code on your server is a theoretical security risk. Instead of checking each plugin and theme if they are security risk even if they are not active, it is much easier to just delete them.

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 4.4.2" /> neccessary?
Hello fellow WordPressers

1. If I remove this line, what is the disadvantages?
2. If I leave this line alone, what is the advantages?
3. By indicating the WordPress version, won't it be easier for (evil)robots to search for vulnerabilities, and try to exploit my websites?
I hope someone here can clear my mind. | 1. Nothing (you will ruin some web stats that look at it, but you probably son't care about that)

How To Display Date (/Time/Author) In pages?
I'm trying to search for a way to display the published date of a page, but I can't seem to find one. Maybe because the "PAGE" word is very generic.

* `the_author()` which displays the author of the post.
In your theme will most likely be a `page.php` template where you can add these on pages into The Loop like so:
<?php if( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

Get images / media attached to a page by page ID

Meaning, there are images that were uploaded and actually attached to that page, not just upload and _inserted_ into that page.
When you use the media uploader (to upload images), from within the Edit screen of the page you're editing, WP automatically makes those images children of that page. That's what `get_attched_media()` returns.

Switch from https back to http

Add Media has stopped working in the front end since 4.5 update

It works fine if you call it in the admin section. There's no word from WordPress on this yet, but I've seen this complaint in a bunch of plugins all experiencing the same issue.

echo esc_url( get_permalink($post->ID) + complete the ID's url
I am in a deep trouble
I try to only display the content of a post after clicking a bouton in order to not have the header and the footer again. Manually I have downloaded the plugin "Show Content Only" that allow me to do that: < content-only=1**

Adding an additional role to an Administrator
User 19 is a WP Admin.
$user = new WP_user( 19 );

$user->add_cap( 'two_cap' );
$user->add_role( 'custom_role' );
}
}

What could be the cause of this? | use the profile_update hook and in the hooked function, run this check to make sure that it's adding the previous data to the users profile on update too.

Partial refresh of menu in customizer not working?

Best Practice - Customise a WooCommerce+Wordpress Templates
To integrate customise HTML/CSS to Wordpress without editing default ready theme template from Wordpress
1. Download HTML5Blank Boiler plate
2. modify/overide boilerplate css with our customise Css
3. Create custom Template / Post templates
4. Install ACF Modify header.php
My question is, as a web developer, if I wanted to customise WooCommerce template / styling /layout ? Usually which best practices I should go for ?
1. Can we modify WooCommerce template as this link's presentation does?
2. Or I should download WooCommerce ready template and modify from the ready templates?

* Wordpress CMS to update / modify content
* Woocommerce to track order / add product

How to display the requested post only?
I have created a custom theme and my front page is `index.php`. Moreover, I have couple of blog posts and I display them with a loop in this page, together with a link for each particular post. The problem is that whenever I click on this link, the browser loads the correct permalink, e.g. ` but the content remains the same.
I use `is_front_page()` to determine whether I am loading the front page or a single post. When I click on a single post, how to display this post **only** and not all the others? | WordPress creates the default query on each page automatically based on the requested URL.

How do I stop my blog from pinging back itself?
I connect a lot of my posts to my new ones, and that is probably why I keep getting self pingbacks. Besides a plugin, is there a script I can use to get rid of this? | You could try this by putting code in functions.php in your theme.

Can I limit term selection to one plus parent?
So i have a custom post type (listings) and a custom taxonomy (listing_terms). The taxonomy has parent/child terms. Eg: Restaurant -> Cafe (where Cafe is the child of Restaurant). I want to only let my users to be able to select one child term and then have the parent term automatically selected when they're creating posts in the backend. So essentially only two terms can be selected.
Anyone ever try this?
Alternatively, I've been thinking that we could have a two-level select field possibly, where they'd have to pick the parent first from a dropdown then another dropdown would appear with the child terms of that first term.
I'm open to suggestions!! Kinda hit a wall here.
Just fyi, I'm also using ACF for custom fields if that helps anyone. | I found an answer that works well. Using two dropdowns in a 'cascading' style, with the code in the gist below, users would pick from a list of parent terms first, then a second dropdown appears with the list of children.

How to report JavaScript errors in the admin panel
Real life scenario for a context: A two instances of a JS library, each from different version are being loaded. Since the library do not keep backward compatibility someone code will probably fail, either the code using the first instance or the code using the second.

How To Remove Dashboard Menu Items for Multisite Users?

For example, in below screenshot you can see that all User related capabilities have been removed. Do note that I have checked "Apply to All Sites" so that it applies to all the sites on the network.

posts_per_page override by default settings
I'm running some template files outside of the actual theme and I am displaying some posts on this templates. Everything worked absolutely fine but some days ago (maybe the update to 4.5) the default settings of WordPress started to override my `posts_per_page=-1` and I have no clue why this is starting.

</figure>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<a class="insidelink" target="_blank" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" >Weiter...</a>
</section>
<?php endwhile; ?> | I found the problem. Here is the solution in case someone stumbles upon a similar problem.
I had a filter in my functions.php that limited the showed posts on several custom taxonomies and the default value was set in the else statement
// Customizing posts per page on zitate archive
function limit_posts_per_archive_page() {
if ( is_post_type_archive( 'zitate-sprueche' ) || is_tax('zitate-kats') || is_post_type_archive('daten') || is_tax('daten-kats')) {
$limit = 27;
}
else if (is_post_type_archive( 'videos' ) || is_tax('videos-kats') || is_post_type_archive( 'whitepaper' ) || is_tax('whitepaper-kats')) {
$limit = 9;
}
else
$limit = get_option('posts_per_page');
set_query_var('posts_per_archive_page', $limit);
}

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php if ( is_home() && ! is_front_page() ) : ?>
<header>
<h1 class="page-title screen-reader-text"><?php single_post_title(); ?></h1>
</header>

This is used so that the title of the page is shown, whenever posts are shown on a page, but nothing when blog posts are shown on the front page (home page).

Which hook is fired when inserting media into a post
I want to add numbering to each image when I insert them into the post. For example if I insert 3 images into a post, there will be:
1. Image 1
2. Image 2
3. Image 3
I looked through the WordPress documentation, but I can't find which hook is triggered when inserting images into a post. | The `add_attachment` action is fired when the `wp_insert_attachment()` function is called to add an item to the media library. Images are added to posts after going into the media library first. Even when adding via the post editor, items are added to the library with `wp_insert_attachment()` then to the post.
add_action( 'add_attachment', function( $post_ID ) {
// Do Stuff
});
This will not allow you to number items by post, only by instance in the media library. Whether that works for your purposes, I cannot answer.

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_status='publish' WHERE post_status='draft' AND post_type='post' ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 5000
Just to explain what this line do: It will get 5000 items (LIMIT 5000) in a random order (ORDER BY rand()) and will transform the status to published (post_status='publish') on every record that is a post (post_type='post') and the status is draft (post_status='draft').

function content_table($atts) {
$atts = shortcode_atts(array(
'tablepageid' => ''
), $atts);
include(locate_template('table-layout.php'));
}
add_shortcode('ContentTable', 'content_table');
**Edit** I removed the quotes from my shortcode and I'm now able to see the value: [ContentTable tablepageid=4799]
I created a page to test the shortcode function:
print_r(array_values($atts));
Array ( [0] => 4799 )
The value from the shortcode is available but I'm having some trouble getting the value into a variable for my template to use:
$arr = $atts[0];
The $arrTable variable is empty...I can't figure out why it's not 4799. | You are probably confused by the output of `array_values()` which will always get you only array values without keys while `$atts` variable is actually an associative array.
To extract your attribute use `$arr = $atts['tablepageid'];`

Admin menu disable new/delete page
So I've been tinkering with the admin roles and I can't seem to be able to revoke create page rights for the admin. I can only find 'Edit page'.
If I remove Edit page, the entire pages tab goes away(probably because of not enough rights)..
Is there a way to disable creating/deleting pages and keep the pages tab?
I have this so far.
$role = get_role('administrator');
$role->remove_cap('delete_pages');

Wordpress Hook that will run when media file deleted

Widget won't work due to old JavaScript? Any ideas how to make it work?
I was trying to add this widget to my blog
<!--BEGIN PROFILE WIDGET-->
<script src="
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="
<div id="profile_widget_container_2303472"></div>
<!--END PROFILE WIDGET-->
But it messes with my design because the first JavaScript is too old. When I remove it, the widget won't load. They (Lookbook) don't have new widgets, only the ones with the old code. Is there any plugin I could install to my WordPress blog to make it work though? Any coding I could add?

add_action wp_enqueue_script priority level only works for admins
I have a function in my functions.php file that loads all of the scripts into the header for my website.
The line to run the function was like this:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'init_loadjs_scripts', 100);
I'm curious if setting the priority level to 100, would in some way restrict the scripts from loading for visitors or having the priority level set that high might be throwing something off.
The problem I was facing was that a couple thumbnails on my site when they were clicked they would open a lightbox that had a video in them. I only saw this issue with Chrome and Safari. Seemed to work with Edge, Firefox, and IE.
When i removed the priority number, it worked in Chrome and Safari. I want to understand why it didnt work in Chrome/Safari when i had the priority level to 100. Is 100 to high? | The priority is related to other actions for the same hook. For example, if another plugin would implement `add_action` for `wp_enqueue_scripts` with a lower priority, they would have their scripts loaded in front of yours.
You should check what scripts are inserted above yours and see if there is a css conflict. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to load a different header based on post format?
I have a difficult question. What's the best way to load a different header based on a post format? I guess I could load another loop around the header but I noticed the site does slow down. This is the code on my index.php:
<?php get_header();?>
<section id="block">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</section>
<?php get_footer();?>
Thanks | Say if your have `header-video.php` used for video post format.
Replace `get_header();` with `get_header(get_post_format());` in your regular `singular.php` or `index.php`. If WP can find `header-video.php` it will load it otherwise it will automatically will fallback to `header.php`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Problem with saving large amount of data in postmeta/usermeta
I am facing issues saving large amount of data in post meta field e.g. I have created a field Bio/description and put a huge amount of text in it. Now when I save it, it saves some of the text and sometimes nothing saved in the meta field. I have searched through web but didn't get the clear answer. So I want to know what is the size/length restriction on postmeta fields to accept the text?
Is there any way we can fix this issue or it will be better to save data in custom table where we can use Long text field which will definitely save it. Also want to know how saving huge amount of data in post meta field will effect the site performance?
Thanks in advance! | The `meta_value` field is `longtext`, which a quick google reports is 4,294,967,295 characters - I doubt you're exceeding that.
Chances are it's an issue with PHP, specifically `post_max_size` \- if this is less than the "huge amount of data" you are referring to, PHP will simply truncate `$_POST` and you end up with nothing. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress Smart Iframe Browser
How to browse other website without leaving domain?
for ex. my website is websites1.com and i want to someone to goto website2.com but doamin name in address bar must be website1.com only. | This should get you on track...

<script>function loadfullsize(url) {
fullsizeframe = document.getElementById('fullsizeframe');
fullsizeframe.href = url; fullsizeframe.style.height = window.clientHeight;
return false;
} </script>
Note the problem here is you have to insert the iframe HTML directly after the `<body>` tag (and have no CSS width rules on the body tag) for this to work or the iframe width may be limited to less that full width if inside other containing divs etc. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

change "missing attachment" text functions.php
WordPress core file: `wp-includes/post-template.php` has this text "Missing Attachment" that i want to change with "-". The problem is that when WordPress upgrades, the file is changed back to the old "Missing Attachment" text.

How to enable shortcodes in text retrieved from get_theme_mod

previous_post_link inside of a function?
I'm missing something on how to call previous_post_link() inside of a function. I also tried assigning the output to a string variable and using that.
function prevnext( $content ) {
$content .= '<div>' . previous_post_link() . '-' . next_post_link() . '</div>';
return $content;
}
add_action( 'the_content', 'prevnext', 4 );
I get the hyphen - but not the links. Substituting another string variable also prints to the screen. I can use previous_post_link() in the page template and it works fine. What am I not doing right? | `previous_post_link()` and `next_post_link()` should work inside the `the_content` filter.
There is nothing wrong with your code except you must return the value inside the filter instead of print. Otherwise I believe post link should be there at the beginning of content.
`previous_post_link()` and `next_post_link()` print the output so consider using `get_previous_post_link()` and `get_next_post_link()`.
function prevnext( $content ) {
$content .= '<div>' . get_previous_post_link() . '-' . get_next_post_link() . '</div>';
return $content;

Add code inside specific wordpress standard function

How to transfer one domain to another domain without losing theme options (customizer)?

But I didn't get theme options values in new url.
please suggest me to _avoid these losing theme options?_
Thanks. | You can not replace the URL in the database using ctrl+f or any other "direct" method. You have to do a search & replace in the whole database in a way capable of **keeping the validity of serialized data**.

Send media uploads to different directories
I am making a website for my local primary school, and I have each class page as a separate page template. Rather than have all their uploads go into the general /uploads/ folder I'd like to direct uploads to certain folders based on their page template, so that page-class1.php media uploads will always go to /uploads/class1/ and page-class2.php will go to uploads/class2/ (or some specific folder).
I can then control these uploads and sort them by size/date if one class is getting too many uploads I can ask them to limit/clear them. And setting this system in place may allow us to protect them differently depending on the class and content.

Importing featured image to posts, duplicates the image
I'm using wp cli to import the same featured image for around 2,000 posts. I did a couple tests to see if the image would be duplicated or if WordPress would notice that the image already exists in the media library and use it. Sadly it just duplicates the image.
Command I'm using: `wp media import --post_id=x --title="Pluto Mosaic" --featured_image --url=mysite.example.com`
Is there another way to do this without having to import the same image 2,000 times?
Thanks, j03 | You can use `wp media import` to import the image once. Once you have the ID for the attachment created, you can run:
wp post list --post_type=post --format=ids | xargs -0 -d ' ' -I % wp post meta add % _thumbnail_id <thumbnail-id>

With Wordpress + Visual Composer, how to restrict a user to change some content in a page?
Sorry if it's not the right place to post that but I did not find better.
I know in Wordpress, it's possible to restrict users to change pages or remove items from the menu.
But is it possible to restrict them to change a content in a page? As I am using Visual Composer I think this feature may be related to this.
