Best way to send users password?
I used a plugin called WP Import to import a mass amount of users to my website. I now want to be able for them to log in using those accounts. How am I able to send them their passwords or get them to login to their account that we created for them? | You shouldn't have to send them passwords. That's a bad idea.
Instead, make sure your web server has email setup properly and your user accounts have the correct email addresses. Then all you'll have to do is send them the link to the `Forgot Password` link provided by WordPress by default. It looks like this: `
Then from that page they'll be able to reset their passwords using their own email address.
Alternatively, you may use a plugin like `Bulk Password Reset` or `Emergency Password Reset` to reset the passwords and send the password reset link to your users.
Whichever method you follow, you must make sure your web server can send email to your users properly.

update_post_meta for repeated custom field

$meta_box->add_field( array(
'name' => 'error',
'id' => '_pf_error_log',

I want to change the author name
I have a website where I am mostly posting translations. Therefore, I want to show name of the author of the original post instead of me on the author name area. How can I do this? | Here are three possible approaches:
1. A normal WP installation already has custom fields which you can add to your post. So you could use those to add the original author's name to. The only problem is that general themes usually do not display `the_meta`, because they do not know what to expect. In your case you would want to replace `the_author` in your theme with `the_meta` (don't mess with the original theme files, use a child theme!)
2. Easier, but a bit hacky: add the original authors to the user list. They don't need to know they have an account, just provide bogus e-mail addresses and don't let WP send their password to them. Now you can simply assign them as authors and they will have their own author page as well.
3. The most thorough approach is adding a meta box yourself (or use a plugin like WCK). This gives you complete control on how to insert the information in your child theme. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

how to change a theme slug

How do I safely change the theme slug throughout the theme files, i.e. everywhere `understrap` appears?
Is it simply a case of performing a search and replace? | For a theme name `Hello World` a search and replace should be done in phases.
1. Make sure you do a case sensitive search and replace.
2. Replace `Hello World` with `Example Name`
3. Replace `hello-world` with `example-name`
4. Replace `hello_world` with `example_name`

Posts from a category on homepage with category archieves page default css

Count number of posts by author in a category
What is the optimal method for getting the number of posts by an author in a category? I'm not looking to get the posts themselves, just a count of them.
count_user_posts returns a count of all the posts of a user in a post type, but there is no option to filter by category. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks! | You could do this by creating a custom `WP_Query` and then counting it.
$args = array(
'author' => 1,
'cat' => 5,
);
$my_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$my_count = $my_query->post_count;
Just change `1` and `5` to the Author ID and Category ID respectively.
Alternatively you can use the category slug or author's **nice name** (NOT name!) as well:

'author_name' => 'bob',
'category_name' => 'editorial',

Someone created a child theme, but I need to modify it to reorder content. How do I access the child theme?
I'm fairly new at wordpress but I am currently trying to figure out how to access someone's child theme that they created from a parent theme. I can access the editor section but it just gives me the php. Is it possible to access the HTML? I'm wondering if someone can explain how come there isn't like an index then a post page. I just need to reorganize the content since the layout orientation isn't correct. | You are looking at the right files area. The HTML is created through the php files. These files can be accessed/edited through the editor as you are viewing or through FPT as Laxmana suggested.
Through ftp it would be in your public_html/wp-content/themes/your-child-theme folder.
It may not only be the index.php file that you're looking to change though, or you may need to change something other file entirely.
It's better to make the changes via ftp because you can back up your files before you start making changes in case something goes wrong. If you don't have that option the editor works as well. Just select all the content for the file you are editing and copy it to your desktop (word or notepad etc) so you have a safe recovery point.

Why is my RSS feed not working?
I have the following blog on a WordPress site. The RSS feed does not contain a list of the posts. Any thoughts on what is going on?
**UPDATE**
I noticed that my blog index page was located at < whereas the blog posts path began with < (notice the missing "-blog"). I changed the blog index page to < but it did not fix the feed. | Your feed is there. You can check this by opening the source code of your homepage and find these lines:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Talent Hero Media » Feed" href=" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Talent Hero Media » Comments Feed" href=" />
If you click on the first link you will be led to the source code of the actual location and presto ... there's your feed. Unfortunately, when you run the url `.../feed/` you are rerouted to the comments feed. Actually `.../comments/feed/` sends your to `.../feed/` as well. If you look in the source code of the comments feed you see:
<atom:link href=" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
So, for some reason (presumably a plugin) your comments feed url is overwriting the post feed url. Disable all plugins and switch them on one by one to find the offender. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What image is this pulling?
I inherited a site with a custom php file for a custom sidebar. The sidebar is pulled in to action on pages using the "About" template. The sidebar is supposed to be displaying the image of the person whose profile it is on the top of the sidebar. Only one of the 4 profiles is pulling the correct image (the other 3 are trying to pull images from an old dev site that no longer exists). So, I need to update the 3 pages to pull images from the current site. But, I can't for the life of me figure out where to do that because I can't figure out where the photo is being pulled from. The profile pages are just regular pages whose parent is the "meet the team" page and they are using the About Page template.

`<img src="<?php $image = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'image',true); $profile = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'profile',true); print $image; ?>" />`
Any help or insight into what photo this is pulling would be greatly appreciated. | `$image = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'image',true);`

Change the template of multiple multisite pages at the same time
I have a multisite network with hundreds of individual location-based sites that use the same theme and display the same type of content.
Occasionally I will need to create or change the template of a page for one site and do so by logging in and out of each subsite to repeat this change across the network.
Is there a better way to do this through the shared theme? Ideally, I would like to learn how to define a set of rules: if page name is equal to "Example", always use the `example.php` template file and so on. | If these pages are using the default `page.php` template, just create a file called `page-{slug}.php`. So for example, if each subsite has a page with a slug of 'my-cool-page' you'll create a template file called `page-my-cool-page.php`, upload it to the active theme, and all of the pages with that slug will automatically use that template. (If it's not a custom-coded theme, be sure to use a child theme so your changes won't be lost.)
If the pages are already using a custom template - i.e. you selected `tpl-my-cool-template.php` from the template dropdown in the editor - that will override `page-my-cool-page.php' and you will have to update them one by one.

Enable/Disable WP options programmatically

But I'm not quite sure if its even possible to do so? i have been searching for some time now, and i seem unable to find actually information whether this is possible (and how if it is) | I understand what you are trying, to make changing the WP config settings more convenient but I do not think it is possible to change them from a plugin.
Constants like WP_DEBUG and DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT are defined in core files, specifically in
`wp-config.php`, according to the Codex and, looking over the source code of this file and related files, I could not find any hooks to affect their definition.
And, in PHP, once constants are set they can no longer be changed during execution. Their value cannot be changed and they cannot be unset. Attempting to redefine or unset a constant will result in an error.
Here is a small quote from the PHP manual on constants:
> As the name suggests, that value cannot change during the execution of the script
If there are no hooks to affect the definition of these constants and if they cannot be unset, then I do not see a way around this. Editing the `wp-config.php` file seems to be the only way to change the settings. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Error: The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini
I am getting error while upload 5mb video file in wordpress media section. How can I solve this issue? | You need to make changes in the PHP configuration file (php.ini).
For example, if you are working on a local server and using XAMPP, you can access this file in two ways:
* Open the XAMPP application and go to Apache > Config > PHP (php.ini)
* Or open the XAMPP installation folder, usually at C:\xampp, and you can find the file at php\php.ini.
Once you open the file, search for `upload_max_filesize` and increase the limit value to something that you prefer, like `80M` (that will be a maximum size of 80Mb).
If you are using a local server on a Mac, there will be a similar process of finding the php.ini file of your PHP installation and changing the limit in the same way.
This error usually occurs for local PHP installations and that is why I referred to them here. If you have this error on an online server, then again, you need to find a way to edit the php.ini file of your server. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I'm using a plugin which adds a review box to the post content. There's a problem with the layout of the review box due to auto generated `<p>` and `<br>` tags being added to the markup. I tried a few plugins including this one: < but they didn't help. | In the template file where it's rendering you can use PHP's strip_tags function

Help with is_page() and calling css for specific pages in a Child Theme
I'm building a child theme of Newspaper 7, and I'm trying to call a specific stylesheet for certain pages, however is_page() isn't working for me. What should I change in my code to be able to do what I'm trying to do?
Here is my code:
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1001);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', TD_THEME_VERSION . 'c' , 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), TD_THEME_VERSION . 'c', 'all' );
if( is_page( array( 'about-me', 'contact', 'social-media'))) {
wp_enqueue_style( 'td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/style2.css'. 'c', 'all' );
}
} | The first parameter of `wp_enqueue_style` and `wp_register_style` is used to register the stylesheet for later use. So, you can register it early and later call it just specifying it's first parameter.
In this case you are registering and enqueueing the stylesheet `td-theme-child`, which file is `style.css`. After that, if the conditional passes, you are registering and enqueueing the stylesheet `td-theme-child`, which file is `style2.css`... but, WP already sent the `td-theme-child`, so the `style2.css` will never hit the browser.
So, in short, just change the first parameter of your style2.css enqueue line:
wp_enqueue_style( 'td-theme-child2', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/style2.css'. 'c', 'all' ); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Recovering the table wp_usermeta from users

Hiding the widget meta box in the Appearance->Widget screen
I don't want to unregister_widget() the widget on the screen, rather, just hide them for admins. Any ideas? I tried: remove_meta_box('widget-id', 'widgets'); but I couldn't figure out the second argument - the screen/page that the widget is displaying on because I can't find the id of the widgets screen
< | This should already be the case, non-administrators do not have access to the 'Appearance' menu by default.
Here is a list of each role and their capabilities: <
* * *
Okay so if you want to hide it for everyone, remove_meta_box() won't work because it's not a meta box as far as I can tell from looking at the source.
So alternatively what you could do is:
1. Remove the menu item using `remove_submenu_page('themes.php','widgets.php');` however the page would still be accessible to admins if they just type in the correct url.
2. Use css to hide the widget. Use `admin_enqueue_scripts` to set that up. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Image with large file size not cropping

WPDB Join with custom table

Theme's page.php and index.php template files are confusing me
I was watching a WordPress course, the explainer has `page.php` and `index.php` theme template files. Which means the `page.php` must load the home page, but the home page is loaded with `index.php`!
I used his same files, but I have `page.php` loading the home page! How does his setup override it but mine doesn't? | ### WordPress Template Hierarchy:
You should read about WordPress template hierarchy.
This question also has some related answers.
### Typical Case:
In your case, **the most likely scenario** is:
> The explainer had set the latest posts as the home page (this is the default option) and you have set a static front page as home page. Since his is blog archive, it's being loaded by `index.php` and yours is a page, so that's being loaded by `page.php`.
This is just a typical scenario, but there may be other settings that are affecting which template file is being loaded.
### Changing the default setting:
If the above is your scenario, then changing the following setting from WordPress `wp-admin -> Settings -> Reading -> Your latest posts` (then `Save Changes`) will make it the same for you and the explainer. Check the screenshot below:

> `post_type_link` is a filter applied to the permalink URL for **a post** OR **custom post type** prior to being returned by the function get_post_permalink.
The code in discussion:
add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'custom_post_permalink' ); // for cpt post_type_link (rather than post_link)
function custom_post_permalink ( $post_link ) {
global $post;
$type = get_post_type( $post->ID );
return home_url( $type . '/' . $post->post_name . '.html' );
} | Before returning it's result, get_permalink() applies one of 4 filters on the permalink it has generated, depending on the post_type of the post in question:
1. `post_link`, when post_type == 'post'
2. `page_link`, when post_type == 'page', via get_page_link()
3. `attachment_link`, when post_type == 'attachment', via get_attachment_link()
4. `post_type_link`, when post_type is not one of the above (i.e., a CPT), via get_post_permalink() | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to find the source of the text for wordpress website? I want to change that text
I have following code, which is generating the the text on the website. code resides in front-page.php file in the theme folder.
<p class="excerpt">
<?php
$theExcerpt = get_the_excerpt();
$tags = array("<p>", "</p>");
$theExcerpt = str_replace($tags, "", $theExcerpt);
echo $theExcerpt;
?>
</p>
Let me know if you want more information. Thank you.
![enter image description here]( | One thing you can try is going into the page's Edit mode, by pressing "Edit" on that page, and then checking whether that text is by any chance the actual excerpt. If you can't see an "excerpt" section on that page you can go to the top of that page, click "Screen Options" on the top right, and tick the option "Excerpt" (see image).
If you find that the excerpt of the page is actually empty, meaning that your theme is probably generating a predefined excerpt when no excerpt is present, you can download your theme to your pc and do an in-file search using the text it is generating (in your case "Lorem ipsum ..."). This way you can find out where it is in your theme's code that the text has been hard-coded.
You can use some software like AstroGrep in order to perform the search.

the_post hook is not firing for me
I have a super simple requirement here. I have added a meta field to all posts that will allow a url to be used to redirect the post (i have reasons for doing it this way). I am trying to trigger this on the action "the_post", but for some reason it doesnt seem to fire. Here is what ive added
function nb_checkredirect($post)
{
if(get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'nb_postredirect', true ) != "")
{
header('Location: '.get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'nb_postredirect', true ));
wp_die();
die();
}
}
add_action( 'the_post', 'nb_checkredirect' );
I have checked what gets output to the PHP error log and there doesnt appear to be anything going wrong. | Assuming that your post_meta is being properly added, that the post in question is a real post, and that the value of 'nb_postredirect' is a good URL, I'd try:
function nb_checkredirect( $post ) {
//don't have to use get_post_meta!*
if ( $post->nb_postredirect ) {
wp_redirect( $post->nb_postredirect );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'the_post', 'nb_checkredirect' );

Change separators in HTML <title></title> tags
I'm using WP 4.7.3 and a custom template set (mh-magazine).
By default, WP sets a title tag like "Page title" - "Blog title".
Now all I want to achieve is to replace "-" into a pipe symbol for layout reasons. So the processed HTMl should look like:
My page title | My blog title
I thought that this is easy to achieve, but I see I need some help since I'm not an expert in PHP or WP. | It all depends on how your theme's `header.php` is structured, but the most likely way is via the document_title_separator filter, as in

Change admin post thumbnail size for custom post type only

1. $thumb_size: selected Thumb Size if you do nothing in the filter.
2. $thumbnail_id: Thumbnail attachment ID.
3. $post: associated WP_Post instance

if( 'slider' === $post->post_type ) {
return array( 1000, 400 );

Why isn't is_page_template() adding a body class?
I want to conditionally add a body class depending on what template is being used.
I can't figure out why the following code is not working...
function damsonhomes_body_classes( $classes ) {
if (is_page_template('single.php')) {
$classes[] = 'sans-hero';
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'body_class', 'damsonhomes_body_classes');
Thanks all | The `is_page_template()` function is the incorrect function to use in this case as it checks against Page Templates and `single.php` is just a normal template, not a page specific one, usually meant for posts.
The function you're probably looking to use instead is `is_single( $optional_posttype )` which will look for singular view of a post type, `post` by default.
if( is_single() ) {
/** ... **/
}
You could also check against the basename if you _really_ wanted to:
global $template;
$template_slug = basename( $template );
if( 'single.php' === $template_slug ) {
/** ... **/

Media not actually deleted on disk when click "Permanent Delete"
I have uploaded a new docx and pdf through the media library and the procedure is completed successfully. I can confirm that the direct link actually works.
The problem is being identified when I try to DELETE PERMANENTLY the files.
By clicking on "Delete Permanently", the file record is deleted from the media library, nevertheless the actual file (and its direct link) still resides on disk. On the other hand, Wordpress returns a message that the deletion was completed successfully.
Can you suggest me possible steps to debug the above-mentioned prcedure?
Wordpress 4.7.3 currently resides on IIS 8, with PHP 7.0.x. I have checked some possible user permissions for IUSR, and currently on files is being given full control.
Thank you, Chris | So, after several attempts... it is a problem (or a feature) of the WPML multilanguage plugin.
1. To start with, I have set up correctly the user permissions, as @WebElaine mentioned. Just in case something was not configures properly. More information on the following articles:
Permissions to wp-content folder in Windows Server 2012
<
<
2. In my case, I had installed the WPML Media plugin. With the default behaviour, on each media file that is being uploaded, the plugin creates as many database records as the installed languages.
When someone navigates in the media library, and "deletes permanently" a file, it just deletes the **database record** and not the **physical file** on disk. The user should **browse each language** (on back-end, the flag on the upper bar), and "delete permanently" the specific file for each language. More info here:
<
<
When the last record is being deleted, then the physical file will be deleted also.
Hope it helps! :)

How to set the mainpage of a custom post type?
I just created a new custom post type to contain all the individual posts of the event im hosting.
I want the slug for each post to be: **myurl.co/conference/programitem**
I already got a page with the url: **myurl.co/conference/** which i want to be the mainpage of this particular slug. (On this page some other information about the event is already displayed and it will include links to the individual program items etc)
However, i got a conflict now that as soon as i created the custom post type, **myurl.co/conference/** leads to the first post of the newly created post type instead of the already existing page that i was planning to use as the mainpage.
tldr; How do i prevent the **myurl.co/conference/** url from going to the first post and instead go to the page i was planning to use for that? And have **myurl.co/conference/programitem** go to their own posts.
ps. I dont want to change the url to for example myurl.co/conference0/ | When you register the custom post type you need to include `has_archive` set to the slug where you want the archive. You also need `rewrite` set to the slug prefix. It's probably easier to understand the code rather than my wording of it:
Your code should look something like this now:
register_post_type('conference',
...
'public' => true,
);
You need to update it to:
register_post_type('conference',
...
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => 'conference',
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'conference'),
);
You may need to use `unregister_post_type` first, to clear it out, and then re-register with your updated function. After the new version is registered, visit your permalinks page to update permalinks, and you should then have both an archive at **myurl.co/conference** and individual posts at urls like **myurl.co/conference/program-item-slug**. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

foreach( $meta['selectedlevels'] as $level ) {

This returns the basename of my site plus the post slug, which isn't correct since I've rewritten the URL using the `'rewrite'` argument in my `register_taxonomy` function.
On every page, using `get_permalink` in the post loop I get the correct URL, except on the search results page. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? | Solved, it was an issue with assigned parent- and subcategories.
Because I'm using the 'WP All Import' plugin connected to Google Drive, posts are automatically imported. Since some of the posts don't have categories assign in the Google Drive document, 'WP All import' doesn't assign a category on importing the data.
For some reason this has resulted in duplicate content, importing already existing posts but without a category. Because the latest imported posts are without category and ordered descending by date on the search page, I was under the impression that there was something wrong with the permastructure. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Migrate a Non Wordpress database to wordpress
I have a MySQL database with 71 tables. It houses news, galleries, slideshow data, page content, products, customers, shipping, discount codes, ( basically a full store build on a PHP shop).
I want to migrate over to WP. I'm new to wordpress, how easy/difficult will this be? I can do a SQL dump of the database easily. But how easy will it be to map the tables, structure and data to wordpress tables? Is there any plugin that can help? | Unfortunately it's not really and easy process. It's not about just having a table. The tables in WordPress will have different names, fields, and relationships than the cms you're pulling your table from. That's just for the content. Then to mirror appearance will definitely be starting over all the same.
It would likely be a much easier process to create a new wordpress install with a clean install and manually set up new pages with the old content.
Without knowing more about your current CMS or how much content you have I'd strongly suggest you go this route. Sorry for the bad news, but good luck and you'll love wordpress.

While by no means an endorsement, you may want to check out wpallimport. It will let you set up imports based on CSV files and let you import them into any post type.

BBPress changing default group activity

Custom plugin init action causing general slowness
I'm developing a custom plugin which connects to salesforce and needs to check that the connection hasn't expired on each page refresh. If it does expire, it reconnects etc.
So I am doing this on an init action, but I've noticed a very significant performance hit doing it this way. Particularly loading images from the media library. My understanding now is that init fires with every request, so on a page with 20 images, it will fire at least 20 times??? Is this correct?
So obviously init isn't the best for this purpose, what should I be using?
Kevin | If you want your function to fire only once, you can use other hooks.
`wp_head` might be useful in your situation since it is fired before the rest of the template is rendered.
`template_redirect` is also fired before rendering the template.
If the sequence doesn't matter to you, you can fire it at last using `wp_footer` or `get_footer` hook. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to insert a text in all pages and posts before or after specific places?
I have this simple code below:
function func1() {
echo "this is amazing";
}
add_action('reko_hook','func1');
Now, I know that I could use **_reko_hook();_** either inside **_index.php_** or **_page.php_** where I want, but I was wondering if there are more pre-defined hooks such as ' ** _init_** '.
For example, I could do
add_action('init','func1');
but it will echo **_this is amazing_** before the header,
The question is, if there are other pre-defined hooks to specify the location of the function output **_this is amazing_** to be placed:
1. After the header, before the Page/Post title.
2. After the header, after the Page/Post title.
3. Before Footer.
4. After the Footer.
Thank you. | You can add to before or after the content as well in a similar fashion. I use this code:
function rt_before_after($content) {
$beforecontent = 'This goes before the content.';
$aftercontent = 'And this will come after.';
$fullcontent = $beforecontent . $content . $aftercontent;
return $fullcontent;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'rt_before_after');
You could use it similarly with the_title,.

Retrieving an intersection of two terms from two different custom taxonomies via API

How to add a custom.js file for a child-theme in a swift way?
How to add a custom.js file for a child-theme in a swift way?

wp_enqueue_script( string $handle, string $src = '/custom.js', array $deps = array(), string|bool|null $ver = false, bool $in_footer = false );
This also doesn't bring any effect (even though the site doesn't crash):

wp_enqueue_script(
'YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/YOUR_SCRIPT_FILE.js',

## Notes:
1. I usually name the script just as its file name.
2. You don't have to use the version number 4.7.3, but you do need to write some plausible version number (like of your Wordpress core version) or the keyword `null` instead. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress incorrectly redirects to local IP address?

What is the correct term for a tool that filters content based on metadata?
I am creating a resource library for students at my online school that will be searchable with metadata. Many sites such as WorldCat have a tool on the left-hand side where you can filter or refine content (look at the div tag "FormatRefinement" in the example) based on metadata.
What is this functionality called? Intuitively, it would seem to be called a 'content filter' but any search for filters brings me to the WordPress Codex where it discusses 'hooks and filters.' I've tried searching for the correct terminology myself but, after several months, no luck. Thank you. | After additional research, the answer appears to be that the term **"taxonomy"** encompasses the two sorting tools most common in WordPress. Those are **categories** , which can be hierarchical, and **tags** , which cannot have a parent-child relationship.
