How to get the form code from the edit page of a specific post?
On a site I'm working on, in the profile page - for example - I have to display the content from a few custom posts (additional details, location details, billing). And instead of having the user click Edit and change the page to the 'edit page' for that particular post and then come back to edit the next one, I'm trying to display the edit form for the posts in a lightbox.
Up until now I am able to load the complete get_edit_post_link page into an iframe, that's basic but the drawback is that it includes the full page, header, footer and all which I don't need. And turning them off in CSS is not elegant at all. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get just the edit form from said page. That is, short of making a fopen to the edit page and getting the code from there, which is even worse than the CSS option IMO!
Including the edit form code into a lightbox would be ideal! | You could use jQuery's `load()` function instead of an iframe:
$('#target-div').load(' #section-to-show'); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do I change the category permalink structure?
I've been trying to figure this out for ages. Please help.
I want my category pages to default to
www.teacherdavid.co.uk/blog/category
However my category pages default to
www.teacherdavid.co.uk/categories
**live example:**
<
I can access the category pages at
www.teacherdavid.co.uk/blog/category
however this is not the where you are taken to when select to view a category page in the side bar on my blog page for example:
<
I've tried to set the permalink structure for the category pages with no luck.
I should probably mentioned that I've removed the word "category" from my permalink structure using a plugin and my current post permalink structure is
/blog/%category%/%postname%/
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks! | In Admin panel, Under Settings -> Permalinks, you need to update Categtory Base as well.

What are the Oembed Links For?
My copy of WordPress outputs two `<link/>` tags in the header of (nearly?) every page. They look like this.
<link rel="alternate" type="application/json+oembed" href=" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml+oembed" href=" />
What are these oembed links for? Do they need to be here for WordPress to do things? Or are they here so other sites can better consume my content? What would be the consequences if I removed them? | Those are links for the wordpress "self" oEmbed. It provides the URLs needed to enable embeding the content of the wordpress site in other sites and they are resuired for oEmbed Discover
You are right that they are for other sites to consume your content, and if you don't care about it, just remove it. IMHO it is noting bad by itself, but if you are dedicating time for some cleanup, you should probably clean them as well. < | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Pros and cons of a custom page vs custom post type template file
Within my current setup, WordPress 4.6.1, I see the flexibility of creating a custom page and also a custom post type template file. I do a lot of custom web page development and build pages for a living. But I want to be efficient with my time and energy when working in WordPress, and would like to know when would it be appropriate to use one over the other? What are some basic pros and cons?
i.e.
* is one approach more powerful for data handling than the other?
* is one easier to manage with style sheet usage than the other?
* is one more flexible for WordPress api coding than the other?
Thanks | The main difference is semantical. A page is something that stands by itself, while a post type in a categorization of content. This semantical difference results in different admin flow for both.
The only other difference is that pages can have flexible URLs and you can basically put a page anywhere.
As far as core API goes, you can do everything in any of them.
So to answer your question directly, when to use one over the other depends on how you think the admin will use it. For example for most sites there is only one contact page, using a CPT for that will just clutter the admin UI. OTOH plugins that enable you to create many forms will use a CPT as it is results in a more organized admin for them | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Seo Problems in My meta Discription
Hi there guys i wanted to know how to fix this thing that is messing up with my SEO Meta description This is my homepage ![This is my homepage]( | What you are seeing there is the shortcodes for your theme. You are likely using a theme builder which is why there are so many shortcodes. In the back-end, they will show as they are not being executed until they hit the front-end.
You can see how shortcodes work with explanations here.
In reality, they won't actually show up in search engines as by the time the search engine sees that page, the shortcodes will have executed and returned code/content.
If you are really worried about it, what you can do is manually override that description by putting some content into the "Meta Description" box. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Attribute Quote Style in WordPress HTML
I've noticed that WordPress seems a little loosey goosey when it comes to quoting styles in the HTML it generates. Sometimes WordPress uses single quotes, other times it uses double quotes
<link rel='next' title='An Example' href=' />
<link rel="canonical" href=" />
I know that single quote are, as of HTML5, technically "OK", but I'm weird and particular about how my HTML looks. Is there a way to tell WordPress to always use double quotes? If not, is there a plugin that might do this for me, or can someone point me to the appropriate do_action/apply_filter points so I can investigate this one my own? | First of all, either quotes are as good as each other. See this question
There is no way you can do this with a plugin, action or filter. To achieve this you will have to do this manually by using the "find and replace" option on your IDE. I do not advise you to do this as:
* You may end up breaking your WordPress core
* You will lose all changes next time you will update your WordPress
* You will have to go case by case as situations like these may appear:
`echo <link rel='" . echo $bar . "' href="' . echo $foo . '";`
in which case you will have to invert double quotes for single quotes and vice versa.
This will be very time consuming for what you will get in return.
As a matter of fact WordPress coding standards accept both quotation styles:

Wordpress multisite proper prefix attribution
I have installed a multisite network successfully using the sub-directory method. I created the first 3 blogs without a problem ( **prefix_2_ , prefix_3_** ) . I then needed to create a 4th one to test a functionality ( **prefix_4_** ).
After testing the functionality I deleted the 4th blog (prefix_4_ ) and created another one to replace it. WP registered it as prefix_5_ . I deleted it again and recreated yet another testing one (prefix_6_ ).
I am wondering how Wordpress determines we are at prefix_6_ and how I can reset that so that I don't jump from **prefix_3_** to **prefix_6_** in the database. Blog count shows 4 but Wordpress continues to increment the prefix numbe rregardless of how many blogs were deleted.
Any explanation would be appreciated. | It is using a DB level "auto increment" flag on the base site `blogs` table. Basically, when a new record is inserted into the table the blog id number is automatically created with no discrete SQL -- it just "happens".
The database keeps an internal control structure for this that you don't have direct access to. Even if you delete a row that internal counter does not change and the next insertion is simply +1 from the last one. Unless you turn off auto-increment for that primary key on the table, which would be a bad thing to do.
See this answer for additional details.
WP gets the new blog id from the insert_blog() call, which does not seem to allow the caller to specify a suggested or desired id number. You'd either need to write your own version of the functions that effect the instantiation of a new blog (not recommended), or try to live with this default behavior (recommended). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Increasing the default number of posts in custom post types

How do I change a Themes Header Image?
I am having trouble locating the location of my theme's header.jpg so that I can upload and replace it with a new jpeg.
The theme that is being used for my site is the "Flat-Theme" version 1.0 By the ShapeBootstrap team. When I go to "Pages" and edit my "Homepage" the header image is not present, it is also not in my site's "Media Library". Under "Page Attributes" my Homepage uses the "Frontpage" template. When I go to the appearance editor, specifically go to edit the "Flat Theme: Frontpage Page Template (page-frontpage.php)" I see that the theme references the header.jpg image in the coding for the header. If I am on my homepage, if I right click and "View Background Image" the URL shows up as:
<
I have been unable to locate how to change the header.jpg image for the URL above. Can someone please point me in the right direction!? | If your theme supports header images, it should be under Appearance > Header. No need to replace the old file, you can simply upload a new one. If this is not the case, you can change the reference to `header-new.jpg` in the editor, and upload your new header to the same folder via your ftp client. You could also replace the `header.jpg` file but then you would lose the default one.
The recommended solution would be to create a child theme, but that's slightly more complicated. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to make current user's avatar + display name link to their profile?
I have searched and searched, but not finding a solution to my situation.
I have a certain page where the user's avatar and display name are displayed. Currently these items are not clickable and do not link to anything, however I need them to link to the user's member profile when clicked.
Here is the code that is displaying the avatar + display name:
$header .= "<div>".get_avatar($user_ID, 64)."</div>";
$header .= "<div><strong>".__("Welcome", 'front-end-pm')." ". fep_get_userdata( $user_ID, 'display_name', 'id') ."</strong>";
The first line is displaying the avatar, the second line is displaying the username.
What needs to be done in order to make these items link to the user's profile page? (something like `www.example.com/members/user` would be the permalink location) | Use `get_the_author_link()` or `get_the_author_meta('user_url', $user_id)`. Your code would become something like:
$author_link = get_the_author_link();
$header .= '<div><a href="'. $author_link . '">' .get_avatar($user_ID, 64).'</a></div>';
$header .= '<div><strong><a href="' . $author_link . '">' . __("", "front-end-pm").' '. fep_get_userdata($user_ID, 'display_name', 'id') .'</a></strong>';
Watch out with the quotes though, your code seems to use double quotes, I tried to replace it with single ones but you might have to check that in detail.
If this doesn't work, use `$author_link = get_the_author_meta( 'user_url', 64 );` on the first line. This depends if you're inside the loop or not. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Custom Post Type Trouble
I made a Custom post type called CPT and most of it works fine. I made a 'single-CPT.php' file in the theme's folder to be the template for each CPT page. When I click on the permalink that I see while editing each CPT, the page loads using the 404 error template. I don't usually use the generated page so I don't know if I am doing this right, but I researched and found that Wordpress will locate the 'single-{custom post}.php' file in the theme folder and generate the page using that template. Why is my wordpress not doing that? | you likely need to do a flush re-write. go to settings/permalinks in the dashboard and click save. You'll be good to go. In the future you can add this directly to your CPT plugin. I would suggest getting a bit more creative with your naming though so you don't have conflicts later. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to remove a large ugly space from my wordpress site?

Way to send multiple values for column to MySQL?

Recommendations on accessing current user data in WordPress
While reading the following WordPress Codex page on Global variable usage, there is a bold line that states
**
> Accessing other globals besides the ones listed below is not recommended.
** My question is in concern to using the global variable `$current_user`. Is it not recommended to use something like this in my functions.php file?
if ($current_user->display_name){
echo '<p>welcome ' . $current_user->display_name . '</p>';
}
...or are there other alternative methods I should start building habits on without depending on WordPress global variables not mentioned on that Codex page?
I know what I am asking for probably doesn't have a black and white answer, but I would like to get the opinion from some of you guys how have been coding in wordpress for a while.
Thanks | You can use `wp_get_current_user()` instead of using the `$current_user` global.
$my_current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( $my_current_user->display_name ) {
echo '<p>Welcome ' . $my_current_user->display_name . '</p>';
}
Note that I used `$my_current_user` instead of `$current_user` as a variable name, because you can run into trouble if you use the global variable's name. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Adding anchors in Wordpress Menus
I am looking to add the option of adding an anchor to my page in the Menu's page.
By default, the link has the `Navigation Label` with the link to the page, a `Remove` and a `Cancel` link. However, I need to add a page with a named anchor. So far, I've added all my links with `Custom Links`, but I would prefer being able to add my page in case my `slug` changes.
Is this possible via `functions.php`, or perhaps a plugin? | There's a specific filter for each nav item's attributes: nav_menu_link_attributes.
So, you can put in your functions.php file something like:
function mysite_add_anchor( $atts, $item, $args ) {
$atts['href'] .= ( !empty( $item->xfn ) ? '#' . $item->xfn : '' );
return $atts;
}
add_filter( 'nav_menu_link_attributes', 'mysite_add_anchor', 10, 3 );
What this does, is check the Link Relationship (XFN), and if it's not empty, it will add that to the end of your link with the #.
A couple things, if you don't see "Link Relationship" in the menu item, check the "Screen Options" at the top and check the box. ALSO, you can use almost any of the other properties you aren't currently using for Advanced Menu Properties.
<
Not sure if Link Relationship isn't the right one, but it's the one I use the least.

WP-RestAPI and xml sitemap

I have also tried using the Google Sitemap Generator plugin. With neither plugin can I seem to change where the sitemap is saved. Looking for any advice on how I could make this work. | Let's assume your plugin is writing to the `/usr/share/wordpress/sitemap_index.xml` filesystem location, but you want it can be accessed through ` as if the xml file were stored in `/var/www/html/sitemap_index.xml`. You can use the alias directive then, available in mainstream webservers Apache and NginX:
For an alias in NginX, you put this inside the `server` of your public website:
location /sitemap_index.xml {
alias /usr/share/wordpress/sitemap_index.xml;
}
For Apache the alias it's like this, inside the virtual host of your website:
Alias "/sitemap_index.xml" "/usr/share/wordpress/sitemap_index.xml"
Again, I'm only assuming filepaths and filenames, but if you need more specific directives, for another webserver, or differente paths/names, please comment it, or even better: update your question to make my answer match. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to get the Custom Post Type Archive inside a folder
I have archive-teachers.php which is not yet inside any folder and it was working fine.

Have a look to te template hierarchy template hierarchy. To solve your matter, leave your file in the main folder of your theme (or child theme) or use a template_redirect or template_include filter, depending how you want to call your archive page, you'll be able to redirect to another template file or include the file you want.

Theme or Plugin: Where should I write my code?

While 'Create an event' form can be rendered using shortcode, I'm concerned about putting up event search pages, list of events (there will be thousands of events), 'My Events', 'Favorite Events' etc. Should these be rendered using shortcode OR as theme pages?
Would really appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you for your time. | How Sharma just mentioned, both approaches are working well, but depending on the site type and scope and also it depends on the feature that needs to be implemented in your WordPress.

How the sketch below shows, I suggest to add your design in theme or child theme (recommended) and all functionalities in a plugin

Check if we're viewing an event
I need to know how to check if the user is looking at an event or the list of events from the plugin The Events Calendar on my custom theme's page.php.
One solution I thought of was to grab the url. mysite.com/events shows the list of events, and mysite.com/event/theevent shows a specific event. I thought about grabbing the permalink using `get_the_permalink()` / `get_permalink()` and checking if it contains event/events, but that doesn't seem to be returning anything for me while on an events page.

Why is flush_rewrite_rules mandatory after registering custom taxonomies?

How to make a search button that will search my website?
I want to make a search button that search only within my website.
1. Do I need external PHP or PERL script?
2. Can it done by JavaScript?
3. Or simply by HTML.
I tried to create a form using HTML:
<form>
<input type="search" name="banner_search" class="banner-text-box" >
<input type="submit" name="" value="SEARCH" class="banner-text-btn">
</form> | You can use WordPress's internal search by calling the `get_search_form()` function:
<?php get_search_form(); ?>
`get_search_form()` will use a default HTML form, but you can create your own custom form by adding a `searchform.php` file to your theme. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Do we have rights to edit the source of the templates which are in wordpress.org?
I want know about is, can we edit the source code of themes which can be download in wordpress.org Do we have rights to edit the source code and, add our own copyright to footer? | Normally you can find information regarding the license in the `style.css` file located in the root of the theme.
Open it with a text editor (or in the admin panel `Administration > Appearance > Editor`) and check the comment, if it says something like this:

>
> License URI: <
Then you are free to modify it however you like. If there's no information regarding the license in this file, then check the folder for README file, but in most cases it should be in `style.css`.

Single central login for front end users from any site
I have multiple websites with one master site. Is it possible that used register and login using a single username and password on all the sites. the installations are not wordpress multisite,each site is a individual website. | this is very possible.
I've done this in the past if they are in the same table but with the different extensions: (if they aren't then you can merge the 2 tables)
blog 1 (table prefix is ba1_) blog 2 (table prefix is bb2_)
so you you would have 2 user tables in your database: ba1_users bb2_users
In your wp-config of the 2nd blog: find this line:
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
Just above it, add:
define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'ba1_users');
define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'ba1_usermeta');
now blog 2 which was using bb2_users and bb2_usermeta will now use ba1_users and ba1_usermeta.

How do I correct this filecount?
Although this is more of a generic php question than specifically WordPress, it relates to a function used in WP and so I've posted here.
I use the code below to provide a count for the number of article authors (there's one jpg per author in a folder).
The published count is one more than actual... currently, for 53 jpgs it shows 54.

$dir = 'PATH TO FOLDER';

$filecount++;
}}}
return '' . $filecount . '';
}
add_shortcode( 'count', 'item_count' ); | You're right - this is very much a generic PHP question. But fwiw, the issue is that you clearly want to count all _JPEG_ files, but your sample code counts _all_ files - so...
while ( false !== $f = $d->read() ) {
if ( in_array( strtolower( pathinfo( $f, PATHINFO_EXTENSION ) ), [ 'jpg', 'jpeg' ] ) )

How to check category of of custom post type or not
I have a `category.php` file in my theme. Now the problem is in wordpress category can be of many things.
Like there is a default blog post category. Then there are category for custom post types, like portfolio, logo etc.
Now for all of these categories the same `category.php` file gets fired.
But in my `category.php` I'm trying to show something only if it is the category of main blog post type. If it is the category of any other custom post types, then that thing will now show up.
Is there is way to check if the category is of default blog post type or some custom post types?
So that I can do something like this:
if( this is the category of the main blog post type ) {
// then show what I want
} else {
// don't
}
Thanks in advance. | So basically you want to use the `category.php` for a particular `post_type`'s category, right ? I think you can make sure the thing like below-
if( 'your-main-blog-post-type' == get_post_type() ) {
// then show what I want
} else {
// don't
}
Use above logic in your `category.php` and I hope you'll get the solution you're looking for. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What does apply_filters() do exactly?
I'm new to WordPress development and was just thinking of adding some functionality to a widget. I have been seeing some people using this:
$title = apply_filters( 'widget_title', empty( $instance['title'] ) ? '' : $instance['title'], $instance, $this->id_base );
And some people this:
$title = ( $instance['title'] ) ? $instance['title'] : '';
In my case I want to add a link to a button but I am not sure if I should use apply filters on it or not.
$buttonLink = ( $intance['buttonlink'] ) ? $intance['buttonlink'] : ''; | The `$instance['title']` corresponds to the title enter in the widget.
When a plugin or a widget as an apply_filters, the developper gently had a way to override the current value sets for the title.
Now, imagine you setted a title (in the widget setting panel) but you want to change this value only if user is logged in. You just have to add a filter in your functions.php
add_filter('widget_title', 'logged_title');
function logged_title($title){
if(is_user_logged_in()){ // don't forget to test your widget id
$title = 'new widget title';

Convert each new line in the textfield as a new value in an array

` for that field.
How do I convert each new line input that's entered into an array loop of multiple values? | To do so, you will want to use the `explode()` function to break up each new line (`\n`) into another array value. Also it is important to replace the invisible Carriage Return which is also used as a new line character by Mac OS:
# Get the plugin options
$settings = get_option( 'myplugin_menu' );
if ( isset( $settings['main_menu'] ) ) {
# Convert each new line in the textarea as an array item
$menu_slug = explode( "\n", str_replace( "\r", "", $settings['main_menu'] ) );

remove_menu_page doesn't work on custom plugin menus
Using the `remove_menu_page()` function works for removing the default admin menu items by their slug like so:
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'hide_menu' );
function hide_menu() {
remove_menu_page( 'index.php' ); // Dashboard
remove_menu_page( 'tools.php' ); // Tools
}
When a plugin created their own menu in the Dashboard, the URL structure looks like the following:
However when trying to remove the custom plugin menu item like so:
remove_menu_page( 'admin.php?page=plugin-slug' );
Nothing changes. Looking at a similar questions here and here, it seems that my function isn't called in time once the custom plugin settings load? Yet, when I try to increase the priority to a higher number, that still doesn't work:
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'hide_menu', 9001, 1 );
Is there a work around? Am I doing this correctly? | Thanks to the answer that the_dramatist posted, it was a matter of just hooking to the `admin_init` tag.

hide/show a div in wordpress
How can I make my `<div id='banner'>` visible only in index.php and hide it on other pages like single.php in WordPress? My `div id='banner'` is located in my header and the header is displayed on all pages with `get_header();` | Detecting _index.php_ specifically may not be the best option because this template file is used in many cases in WordPress. Eventually, all pages will fall back to using index.php if no other template file is associated with this page.
So instead of targeting _index.php_ , get familiar with template hierarchy and try to use conditional tags, whenever possible.
For example, if you want to display the banner only on archive pages you could do something like:
<?php if ( is_archive() ) : ?>
<div id="banner">
<!-- Banner content goes here. -->
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Similarly, you can combine conditional tags:
<?php if ( is_front_page() && is_home() ) : ?>
<div id="banner">
<!-- Banner content goes here. -->
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

"Deregister" plugin from frontend or specific pages?

Problem moving my WordPress live site to localhost

What is most efficient way to migrate wordpress website?

Shortcodes on my website stops working after theme update
Hi I am using pagelines theme on my website and have updated the theme today. I am showing a download form here on the below page using a shortcode
<
The shortcode on the above page does not work any more and other short codes for post-content id=x works
How can I fix this issue? | most likely your `[download_ebook_lead_form ret_url=""]` shortcode was defined in functions.php in your theme parent folder, and during update the file was somehow replaced with new one. If you have backup of previous version of your theme check its functions.php and look for `add_shortcode( 'download_ebook_lead_form'...)`.

Add script to page at certain location in wordpress
Generally we use the `wp-equeue-script` to add scripts to the page inside the header or the body section, but how about if I want to insert a script file at a certain location (like at the middle of the page)?
Furthermore, is it possible to generate dynamic scripts?
For example ` which will return different scripts based no the query? | To answer your first question, you can always add a `<script>` tag inside your template files wherever you like, would that solve it? Or alternatively add a function `<?php add_my_script(); ?>` somewhere in your template files which you put in `functions.php` and does some more checks to determine if you want a script there on that location and add it.
However, do you really need it at a certain location in your page? It should not make a difference where you put the script, because you can wrap your functionality inside a function, and only run it when you call the function.
To answer your second question, yes you can, it's been answered before. <
So don't call a .js file, call a .php file that renders your script. just make sure the to use a `header("Content-Type: application/javascript");` and whatever logic you want there | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Woocommerce make <div> appear when items added to cart
This should be simple but for whatever reason it is not working for me.
Here is my PHP:
<?php
if (sizeof( $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents ) !== 0) {
echo '<p>hello there</p>';
}
?>
Basically I want the header to display some custom HTML I have created after an item is added to the cart. This code isn't working correctly though.
Can anyone show me where I am going wrong? | Try this; it's from the WC function that displays a link to the cart when there are items in the cart. The differences are the use of `global` and the `> 0` operand:
global $woocommerce;
if ( sizeof( $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents) > 0 ) :

How to enable the theme editor cap for an editor role?
I am trying to add/enable the theme editor for the _editor_ role. The _editor_ role by default doesn't have the option to manage theme options, so I addded this to functions.php:

// add $cap capability to this role object
//$role_object->add_cap( 'edit_theme_options' );
$role_object->add_cap( 'manage_options' );

Use WordPress page instead of post type archive
Sorry if this is a duplicate – I can't find an answer.
How do I rewrite a custom post type archive page to a 'man-made' WordPress page?
For example:
* Single page: `
* Archive page: `
I want ` to rewrite to `
Can I just do this with htaccess and what would the syntax be? (I'm not good at htaccess!)
This does not work:
RewriteRule ^cool-post-type\/\?$ /about-cool-post-types [L]
Or do I have to do this in the WordPress source code? I don't want to! | This one's actually pretty easy. When you declare your post type using register_post_type, you need to add a new argument for 'has_archive'.
So you'll add in something to the effect of:
'has_archive' => 'about-cool-post-types'
Then, go to your Settings > Permalinks to flush them and it should work. I tested it locally, and this seems to be the way to automatically generate your archive page at a different URL. Then, you should be able to create a page at the CPT's slug. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Which function crops images in wordpress?
I want to modify wordpress's core files to get a desired result for cropping and saving uploaded images. However, i can't find the function that handles the uploaded images and crops, renames and saves them.
I thought this function may have something to do with thumbnails :`wp_generate_attachment_metadata`
Can anyone help me which file and function does this? Thank you | The image goes through multiple processes for the thumbnail to be generated. Take a look into the `WP_Image_Editor` class in the `wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor.php`.
This class handles cropping, resizing, etc.
There is a public function inside this class, named `crop()`. This might be what you are after. However, the actual resizing is handled by the function `multi_resize()`, which generates thumbnails for each uploaded image. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Removing files programmatically
I have a wordpress site running woocommerce. My site is extremely active. I literally sell items daily by the dozens and I am constantly adding new ones in. I understand I have to add the new ones manually, of course. But I wish there was a way that I could delete the images programmatically from the ones that I sold s that they don't clutter up the `uploads` folder. I have 33,235 images currently in there and 1290 products live.
Can this be done via `functions.php` file?
or `htaccess` file?
or perhaps a plugin you know about?
Thanks in advance | If you want to remove the images from folder, There is a two way to remove image 1) Remove by manually 2) Remove by using plugin.
**1) Using Plugin** I suggest you that can try the Image Cleanup plugin and it's the best, but still good to make a backup first. There is an another one plugin available to delete un used images DNUI.
DNUI plugin will search image from the database and delete all unused images making space in your server and clean up the database from all them.
**2) Manually** You can also search through your Media Library for images which are unattached to posts and pages to delete them manually.
![enter image description here]( go to Media > Library and click the Unattached link which will display all images that may be displayed on other parts of your site or simply not used.
**It’s advisable to take a backup of your uploads folder & database before deleting any images stored in these directories and data in your db.** | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to track a users last visited page?
There are certain pages with a certain template in my wordpress site that all of them lead to a single page(S).
I want the content of the single page(S) to change based on where the user has came from.
In other words, I want to be able to detect that from which page the user has come to that single page(S).
Is there an easy way to do this? I'm not an advance user, just creating my first wordpress theme :).
Thanks | As far I've researched there are two ways in my mind to achieve this and they are-
1. **Database:** Save the value of the current page ID in the database for the user and continuously update it. That way you can get the last visited page by a user. **You can store multiple page visit stat as serialized data in database.** Though it is kinda performance reducer but it's effective. And it saves the data which you can use later for any kinda query.
2. **Session:** You can also use `session` to store the previous page ID and this way you can get the last visited page. At `session` destruction you can get the data by `session_set_save_handler`
Hope those above ways are gonna help you. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

When do i need to get permalink structure of a specific post?
As already known that the function `the_permalink` echos out the URL for current post in the loop, while the function `get_permalink` returns the permalink for a specific post using `$post_id`, but `get_permalink` has the `$leavename` that allows return the URL structure of a post to finally (for example) get a URL that looks like this ` So, When do i may need such output?
Please notice the output:
<?php
$x= get_permalink($post_id, true);
echo $x;
//output
//
