echo do_shortcode just prints the shortcode name and not its content
I have this code:
<div id="order_form">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[order_form]'); ?>
</div>
And my shortcode:
<?php
add_shortcode('order_form', 'order_form');
function order_form(){
return "hello!!";
}
But this simply prints out
[order_form]
Why is that? | I can't comment yet - So I will do my best for providing an answer until i get enough rep -
function add_my_shortcode(){
$content = "Habba";
return $content;
}
add_shortcode('yourShortcodeName', 'add_my_shortcode');
I have been doing it like this for a long time, and never had any problems - have you written this code in a file that executes early? like functions.php, or have you put it in a template? I can't see anything else there could be wrong with your code? | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Deleting Custom Post type data using mySQL command
I have around 2000 posts under a custom post type `storelocations`. Deleting them from WordPress admin takes a lot of time.
1. How to delete all the posts from this custom post type from database using mySQL command. Here is my approach:
`DELETE FROM 'wp_posts' WHERE 'post_type' = 'storelocations'`
But I guess the post also have some data in `wp_postmeta` and some other tables maybe. And I guess I should delete data from there too.
So, may I know which tables have the data for a post. And what command I should run to clear them.
2. Another doubt that I have is: why deleting the posts from WordPress admin takes so much time compared to deleting the posts from mySQL. Isn't WordPress doing the same thing as running few SQL commands, or there is much going on? | Honestly, the time writing this question and waiting for an answer, is longer than just going into screen options, setting the posts to about 200, and just doing bulk move to trash, and emptying the trash - if you speed is high, you can probably do even more than 200.
else there is a nice tutorial on how and which tables you should work with here - but it will probably take longer

How to convert custom fields to content
I have some custom post types and inside them I have some custom fields that I need to convert in post content.
Is this possible? How can I do this? | You can do this by using something similar
<?php
//Post we need to update
$id = 37;
$custom_field = get_post_meta( $id, 'custom_field_key', true );
// Update post 37
$mg_post = array(
'ID' => $id,
'post_content' => $custom_field,
);
// Update the post into the database

//Delete the custom field

I accidentally added a widget area called sidebar 1
I accidentally added a widget area called sidebar 1 (because I was an idiot and read the instructions in the Widget Name area wrong). Now it's currently conflicting with my Theme Sidebar (theme is Divi Elegant Themes). Went I load the blog page of the website, the sidebar 1 shows up instead of the default sidebar.
Is there any way to remove this new widget area without breaking the entire website? | There should be a line like this in your functions.php of the theme:

'id' => 'your-new-widget-name'
));
// ...some code after
?>

Is it possible to instantiate a new WC_Cart?

Wordpress filter custom posts by multi terms of of a taxonomy

Woocommerce display price without formatting
## What I Want
I want to display the prices in the product page exactly as inputed. So for eg: if for a product I give price as 70.000 and another price as 70. I want to display exactly as entered. So regular price for first will be displayed as 70.000 and for second product price will be displayed as 70.
The reason for this is for certain products I want to display the decimal points and for some I don't want decimal points. So setting decimal point to 3 in woocommerce settings to 3 is not an option.
## What I Tried
I tried modifying `wc_price` function in wc-formatting `get_price_html` function in absctract-wc-product.php
But it seems like the price is formatted before. How can I achieve this? I'm new to wordpress and would like some help. | Try using `get_price()` instead of `get_price_html()`. You can call the function on any woocommerce template like this

How to rotate every letter in a title
I was wondering how to rotate every letter in a title.
You can rotate every letter in a word with
<span class="slant">A</span class="slant">
<span class="slant">c</span class="slant">
<span class="slant">m</span class="slant">
with the CSS
.slant {transform: rotate(10deg); }
But how to do it with WordPress?
I was thinking use JavaScript/jQuery to split the `<?php bloginfo("url")?>` into letters, add the slant class and put the css in the `style.css` section. | You could use jquery to split the title into letters and apply the class. That would work for any html page, regardless whether it was made by WordPress, Drupal, some dude that is stuck with Dreamweaver or whatever.
The WP way would be different. If you're new this is fairly complex, but a good start if you're willing to learn. The title of a WP post is generated by a function called `get_the_title`. This function ends with a filter, that allows you to modify the resulting title. Like this, which you would put in the `functions.php` file of your child theme:
add_filter ('the_title', 'wpse263471_split_title');
function wpse263471_split_title ($title) {
... do stuff ...
return $title;
}
In the place of 'do stuff' you would have to write php code that splits `$title` into letters, adds `<span class=slant>` around them and then glues `$title` together before returning it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Do I need a Multisite?

Thank you!! Angie | If your client asks for multi-sites, there is no alternate option for it then.
But according to the need, sometimes creating separate pages for clients like website.com/client1/, website.com/client2/ etc. and masking/redirecting client1.website.com, client.website.com to these (respectively) may work as well.

My redirect URL doesn't show any pages on my website
I recently started using Wordpress. To do so I installed wordpress on my FTP server. Everything is working perfectly fine so far, except for my page URL.
My FTP server's URL is really complicated so I bought an domain name and redirected it to the FTP server. The site is called **jongbeleggen.com** . However, because I redirected with something called 'transparancy' (some kind of iframe), my site is only showing jongbeleggen.com no matter what page I go to.
Example: When I go to my website, the URL jongbeleggen.com is showing. Then when I click on my Blog page it should say jongbeleggen.com/blog . However, it says jongbeleggen.com
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with this issue or tell me what iam doing wrong!
Thank you in Advance!
Peter | You're doing the whole thing in a wrong way. First of all you should not redirect the domain to ftp server url.
You should point your domain using `A record` or `Nameservers`. Whatever option you have/works for you.
And then change `siteurl` and `home` url in your database with the new domain name. More Details about this process
And then use a plugin like Velvet blues update urls to replace old url's with new domain's url.

Using more than one meta_key in pre_posts_query

$query->set('meta_value', $retrieved_status);
}
}
}

$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value');
$query->set('meta_key', 'event_date');
$query->set('order', 'DESC');
How could I structure this to get the desired effect? Thanks! | Use WP_Query to select any post based on meta key and value. You can also sort posts Ex:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'events',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', //probably you will need this because the value is date
'meta_key' => 'event_date',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'event_status',
'value' => $retrieved_status,
'compare' => '=',
),
array(
'key' => 'other_key',
'value' => 'other_value',
'type' => 'numeric', //for example
'compare' => 'BETWEEN', //for example
),
),
);

Avoiding "Missed Schedule" errors when inserting future posts
I'm inserting future posts as you'd expect using a `post_status` of `future` and a future `post_date` and `post_date_gmt`.
The dates look fine in WordPress, but these posts appear with the "Missed Schedule" warning. They haven't missed schedule yet because they're future posts.
My guess is that it's because when inserting these future posts I'm not adding a cron event. Is this hunch correct and if so, do I simply schedule an event after the publish time? If not, what can I do to avoid "Missed Schedule" errors when inserting future posts? | The missed schedule warning comes form those lines: <
It should be independent on any cron event, as the warning is being displayed only in case the current UTC time - post_date_gmt > 0 - there is no other condition (except for post having the `future` status).
In order to debug the issue, check what value is saved in the database in the `post_date_gmt` column of the post object with the false-positive warning. The value returned from PHP's `time()` should always be UTC so I don't expect any issues there.
In case the post has correct GMT time, check whether some of installed plugins is not filtering the `get_post_time` filter used in get_post_time function used here: <

Is there significant risk in not keeping a theme updated?
Is there significant risk in not keeping a theme updated?
We have various themes which we have purchased and modified. It would be a lot of work to install theme updates and re-implement our changes. Do themes, not kept updated, pose a significant security risk? | Generally speaking outdated plugins are more of a risk, but themes should be updated.
The "heavier" the theme (more javascript, custom functions etc) the more likely it is to become a risk when out of date. Frankly it's one good reason to code lean/mean themes yourself and not buy of the shelf, but that's just my opinion.

My code retrieves the correct terms, but then using `get_term_link()` retrieves a url, looking like `sitename.com/item_category_B/category_A_term_slug` . What am I doing wrong? My code looks like this:
function get_item_category_A(){
$item_cat_A = get_the_terms(get_the_ID,'item_category_A');
echo '<a href="' . esc_url(get_term_link($item_cat_A[0]->slug,$item_cat_A[0]->taxonomy)).'">'.esc_html($item_cat_A[0]->name).'</a>';
}
Still, when I run the function, it returns the url than points to the correct term in the incorrect taxonomy (`sitename.com/item_category_B/category_A_term_slug`). | WordPress allows for customization of the default URL rewrite behavior (/slug/term) with a `rewrite` arguments array passed to the `register_taxonomy()` function.
By defining values for the `slug` or `hierarchical` keys in this array, the default URL structure can be altered to suit your needs. It may also be altered such that unexpected results are returned.
When creating multiple taxonomies, it is easy to copy & paste the labels and parameters arrays for one tax and overlook the necessity to update some of the specifics for subsequent uses.

Displaying a button on each post
I'm trying to add a button for each post.
add_action( 'the_post', [ $this, 'myButton' ] );
public function myButton( $post ) {
$this->ID = $post->ID;
$myId=$post->ID;
echo "<button onclick=\"buttonAction()\" p style=\"font-size:10px\" id=\"ActionButton\">ACTION</button>";
}
This works well, but there is a problem, it not only appears in post, but also on homepage above each post and at all pages that contains a link to post. Additionally I can't style for displaying it at the proper place, it is on the top of post. How can i style it, and make it only appear on post's webpage. | Use `the_content` hook and hook only when you are on a single page:
add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_button_function' );
function my_button_function( $content ) {
// See if it's a single post or a loop
if ( is_single() && in_the_loop() && is_main_query() ) {
return $content . "<button onclick=\"buttonAction()\" p style=\"font-size:10px\" id=\"ActionButton\">ACTION</button>";
}
return $content;
}
This will only add the button if you are on a single post, and will add the button at the end of your content.

How to handle a background-size: cover image in Wordpress?
Designer new to wordpress here. I want to take the featured image on a post and make it a hero image for the post single page.
The way I would normally do this is to create a div, set width to 100%, height to whatever vh I want, and then set background to the image url in the CSS with background size set to cover.
So how I'm trying to do this in Wordpress is like this:
<section class="hero" style="background: url('<?php echo $hero_image['url'];?> ');" xmlns="
But that comes out a little wonky because setting background with inline styles overrides all the CSS back to default element stuff. Any ideas on how to do this better? Preferably without any plugins, as I'm trying to learn how to do as much in code as possible. Though I do already have Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Post Type UI installed and I'm using those extensively. | So Jack's answer works, and is correct, but I also found a more elegant solution for what I already had. I made the inline style background-image instead of background:

Why does my jQuery plugin show up as text in WordPress?

->
<script>$(function() { $('.banner').unslider() })</script>

<script src="/path/to/unslider.js"></script>

$(document).ready(function() {
$('.banner').unslider();
});

You work locally. Commit files as they change, and they are then deployed (even automatically, if you are happy with that) to your live server.
I recommend you look at something like < which makes version control less scary.

Restrict Wordpress File Type Uploads by User Type
I'm looking to restrict all users (other than admins) to only be able to upload images e.g JPG's and PNGs allowed for all users but still allow admins to upload pdfs etc. (Or even better would be to only prevent unregistered users from uploading anything other than JPGs and PNGs!)

if(!current_user_can(‘administrator’)){
$mimes = array(
'jpg|jpeg|jpe' => 'image/jpeg',
'png' => 'image/png',
);
}
return $mimes;
}
Any ideas? | There is a syntax error in your conditional:
current_user_can(‘administrator’)
The input value is wrapped in `‘ ’`, which should be wrapped in `' '` instead. Right now, because `‘administrator’` is neither a role nor capability, the above will always return a false value, therefore
if(!current_user_can(‘administrator’))
will always return `true`, which will restrict the mime type for everyone, including administrators. The correct form will be :

Page attribute template dropdown not displayed even the syntax is correct
<?php
/*
Template Name: foo
*/
?>
I added this to my foo.php but dropdown not displayed in admin panel. | If you're wanting to enable the Page Template dropdown for a custom post type, you have to enable support for "page attributes" when you define your CPT.
You should currently have something like
register_post_type('foo',
array('labels' => array(
...
),
);
You need to add 'supports':
register_post_type('foo',
array('labels' => array(
...
),
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'page-attributes'),
);
'page-attributes' will allow your CPT to use Page Templates, which is what enables the dropdown menu. 'title', 'editor', etc. etc. are optional depending on your needs.
Since your CPT is already defined, you will probably need to first call `unregister_post_type()` to "unregister" it and then re-register it with your new code. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Add table to WordPress database
I want to add an extra table on my WordPress database and I intend to query it with a custom script that will be embedded to WordPress.

Change / Delete the default post type and category?
I'm developing a website with 3 different post types, and 4 different taxonomies to save the posts under.
The default post type and categories are unused in this template, and since many of authors are not very familiar with WordPress and we can't always control them, i wish to delete, change or at least hide the categories and default post from them, so they have to post it under a custom type.
For example, someone creates a new post under 'Breaking news' type, and assigns it to `News` Taxonomy, this post won't be categorized under any category (Uncategorized).
If he publishes this as a normal post type,it won't be shown anywhere in the website.
Is it possible to work around this? | Yes this is possible with a very simple solution. Add this code snippet to your theme's funtion.php
add_action('admin_menu','remove_default_post_type');
function remove_default_post_type() {
remove_menu_page('edit.php');

Get menus created with menu editor?

Can I run a slow action in a seperate thread?
I have a really slow-running action (30-45 seconds) that loops over each user in my DB and syncs the data with some off-site database. I want this to happen once or twice daily, so I have a WP-Cron job setup to trigger the action.
My problem is that the action isn't essential for rendering the page, so ideally it's something that would run in the background instead of blocking the page rendering.
Is there any built-in system in WordPress that'll do this kind of thing?
One really hacky solution I thought of was to trigger the action via AJAX and just let it run in the background as the user visits the page. It doesn't seem like a good option, so I wanted to hear if you guys have any inputs or thoughts about a cleaner way to achieve this. | Techcrunch has released a library to spawn an asynchronous task within WordPress.

Essentially, you can take any process that is triggered by an action hook, and you can defer the processing on that hook to run asynchronously.

How do I create a user using the new JSON api in 4.7?
I formerly had the JSON API and JSON USER API plugins working before 4.7 and I have seen the documentation at the ReST API User reference, < but I don't know how to get started. I'm sure there is an authentication procedure that must happen first to get a nonce, but I don't know how to do that anymore either. I'd really appreciate it if someone would show me or point me to some example cURL statements and URI's for both getting the nonce and creating a user.
TIA | The REST API included in WordPress doesn't actually have authentication built into it.
If you do normal authentication in WordPress by logging in, then your browser will receive a set of cookies. If you send those cookies along with your request, then that will authenticate you to perform the actions in question.
If you need to add authentication for an external service, then you need to install a plugin to handle it. A few are available:
* <
* <
* <
If you're just testing locally, there is also a Basic Authentication plugin which allows you to simply send your username and password with every request in an Authorization header:
* <
In any case, once you've either gotten the proper cookie or enabled the authentication method, then creating a new user is simple. Send a POST request to /wp-json/wp/v2/users with the username, email, and password as the payload.

**UPDATE** Your actual code should be something like:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'fb',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'fbcate_category',
'field' => 'id',
'terms' => '35',
),
),
'order' => 'DESC',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
);
$posts_array = new WP_Query($args);
Where `taxonomy` is your taxonomy name.

programmatically create posts from files in a folder
I have a folder named 'pdf' (with around 1000 pdf files) in my uploads directory, i would like to create a post for each file in the folder.
I am not trying to import the content from the pdf but simply create a post for each file in that folder.
**What i was hoping to achieve:**
the posts would get the title from the filename.
the posts would be assigned a single specific category/tag for all the posts.
the post would get the publish date from the file creation date.
I am new to php, wordpress and programming in general, I have a decent understanding of the syntax, loops and functions. I was hoping someone could give me a nudge in the right direction as to what wordpress functions / php loops would be helpful to achieve this. Any thoughts, guidance, information would be a huge help.
Many thanks for your time and help, Sam | At first you have to use `readdir()` in a while loop to get all pdf files. You should look at the examples on the readdir page to know how to use it. Inside the loop you have to add the posts with the pdf files. Normally you would use `wp_insert_attachment()` to add files to your blog. But if you want a single post for each pdf which is shown on your homepage you have to use `wp_insert_post()`, where the argument "file" contains the path to the file. After adding the post (but also in the loop) you have to use the id, which comes back from `wp_insert_post()`, you have to add the category using `wp_set_post_categories`.
I could provide you the whole code to perform this task, but in my opinion it is better to learn it by writing the code yourself. If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a way to determine if the media-iframe is visible?
My plugin adds a tab to the media iframe and I need to know when it is running within the iframe. Using jQuery('#media-iframe').is(':visible’) does not work. Any ideas? | I came up with a way to do it:
1. Add an element to the contents of the frame such as a text input with and ID (i.e. 'search_text')
2. In the plugin's CSS file, style the element to be visible only when it is displayed in the frame:
#search_text {
display: none;
}
#media-upload #search_text {
display: inline;
}
3. Test if the element is visible:
if(jQuery("#search_text").is(":visible")) { } | stackexchange-wordpress | {

buddypress activity social share
Hello Guys I am using buddypress and I am sharing activity on social network like facebook and google and I am using url like
. $activity_title . '&u;=' . $activity_link . '
buy when facebook crawls the page it is not logged in so it redirects to home page so instead of sharing the image and title of that activity what shows on the facebook is the image and title of home page.
activity title and link shows correct in the link but when you share it shows the content of home page | So I have figured it out instead of giving the ids of your activity you have to create a page and pass the id in a get parameter and put a condition in it so that only the facebook or twitter crawler can access it on that page according to the activity id show the content on the og tags. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Enqueue Style Only On Certain Pages Not Working
I am trying to enqueue Bootstrap's CSS only on two pages.
Here's the code I have in my `functions.php` file:
function bootstrap_css() {
if (is_page('who-we-are-2') || is_front_page()) {
wp_enqueue_style('bootstrapstyle', '//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bootstrap_css');
From other StackExchange questions and Googling, that code should work. It works for the home page, but not on the "who-we-are-2" page. What's odd is `is_page('who-we-are-2')` doesn't work by itself. I have also tried `is_page(32365)` and `is_page('32365')`, 32365 being the page ID to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! | UPDATE: It looks like it has something to do with the URL. For some reason I can view the page at /who-we-are-2 and it looks normal, minus the scripts/styles I am trying to enqueue. But the page should really be at /about/who-we-are-2 as About is the parent page. If I go to /about/who-we-are-2 it works perfectly. /about/who-we-are-2 is what is in the nav and the URL that users will see so we're all good. And obviously my enqueue wouldn't work on /who-we-are-2 since my `if` statement didn't call for that page. So ultimately, problem solved. But I'd love to know why I can view the page at /who-we-are-2 if anyone knows! | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, class
I am not the Plugin or theme developer, but after updating the Better AMP , I discovered the following error log. What could be the reason? Is there any manual solution to this?

Change title slug or separator in WordPress
I have added `add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );` function in theme setup in my functions.php now it shows the title as:
title-WordPress
I would like it to be changed as follows:
title | WordPress | To change the title separator, you'll need to use this filter document_title_separator which was introduced since WordPress 4.4.0.
Here's how you can customize the separator:
apply_filters( 'document_title_separator', 'your_custom_separator' );
function your_custom_separator( $separator ) {
$separator = '|';
return $separator;
}
Hope this helps.
**Updated Answer**
add_filter( 'document_title_separator', 'your_custom_separator' );
function your_custom_separator( $separator ) {
$separator = '|';

WP API : date_query parameter
I'm using Wordpress API just to perform some tests. I'm currently working with the date_query parameter, which, in my case, doesn't work as expected.

Woocommerce cart displays outdated prices
I'm facing the following situation on a fresh WooCommerce installation. Have added a custom field on product brands, to allow administrators set a discount on all products of a selected brand.
The discount displays nicely everywhere (category pages, custom loops, single page, variable products etc), but when a product is added to cart, its initial price is displayed instead at the totals section.
Have tried to hook on the `get_price()` \- which calls the `get_prop()` \- using `woocommerce_product_simple_get_regular_price` filter, but for some strange reason the filter doesn't get applied!
Already validated that the `context` parameter has a value of `view`, so the filter should be applied, but...
Initially thought this is a session/cache issue and tried incognito mode, other browsers, other devices etc, but that doesn't seem to be the issue.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance
Using Wordpress 4.7.4 and WooCommerce 3.0.4 | It's a typo! Instead of using the `woocommerce_product_simple_get_regular_price` I had to use the `woocommerce_product_simple_get_price` filter.

How to send messages when a customer is registered
I am trying to send `MESSAGES` when a customer is
Registered or he/she
Reset his/her password
Or any specific events that will be decided later .
I have an SMS API.
Suggest some step.
I just want to know how to trigger the API when a customer registered. Is there any hook available by which i can trigger my custom function.
**UPDATE : My Problem is solved & Thank You @TomC**

$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$registration_field_1 = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'registration_field_1', true );

if(!empty($smsDone) && $smsDone === 'True'){
}else{
$respuesta = wp_remote_get( "
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'smsDone','True' );
}
}
I used this method to send the sms once a customer is registered. | If you're talking about Wordpress user registration, you want to start by reading about the User Register hook: <
Then your code would be something like this which will automatically fire each time a user registers on the site:
add_action('user_register','send_sms');
function send_sms($user_id){
// Code for your SMS API Here
}
The code would go in a plugin or in your Theme's `functions.php` file. If you're talking about an ecommerce plugin, you need to see what action hooks they have available for customer registration and use that as per the developer documentation. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
