Testing Plugins for Multisite
I have recently published a WordPress plugin and it works great on single sites. I was informed that the plugin is not working correctly on multi-site installations and I understand a few of the reasons why. I have updated the code and need a way to now test my updated code before going to a live customer's multi-site installation.
I have a single site installation of WordPress setup for testing purposes but need to test on a multi-site installation.
From what I can find the only way to do this would be to setup an entire multi-site installation with at least two sites on the network to test my plugin.
Is setting up an entire multi-site installation of WordPress the only/preferred way for plugin developers, or is there a quicker testing environment available. | I've used several popular plugins on my multisite without problems.
The only issue I had was when I found that a plugin wasn't working on a sub-site like I thought it should. Turns out that was my fault - the plugin wasn't activated/enabled on that sub-site. Doh!
But it all depends on how the plugin is written, and how it is expected to work on a site. Most plugins, as Tom J Nowell stated/implied, should work just fine on multisite and sub-sites. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to append_contents using WP_Filesystem?
I have scenario that appends the contents into the files, I was using normal file system function of `PHP` Now I have decided to use WordPress `WP_Filesystem` but I cannot see any methods of it which do append the contents into the files. It has only the `put_contents()`, Is there any way to append the file content using WordPress's FS? | `WP_Filesystem` abstraction is primarily meant for performing plugin/theme/core updates, especially in environments with restricted writes.
As such it doesn’t really implement full range of possible file operations, as you noted there is no ability to write to the end of file in declared API. More so some possible implementations (depending on file system) might not even be _capable_ of writing to the end of file.
In a nutshell you’ll have to take care of this logic yourself and it would depend a lot on it being private/public code and how widely compatible you want it to be. If you stick with `uploads` destination in WP context it has the maximum chances of being writable with direct filesystem access (which WP core itself still uses for many operations). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

detect screen width in functions
I am finding a way to add _A_ before the menu if we are on desktop and to add _B_ if we are on mobile device.
As such, this is are my functions for _A_ and _B_ :
add_action( 'wp_head', 'A_function' );
function A_function() {
//add A
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'B_function', 10, 2 );
function B_function() {
//add B
}
I know I need to put these hooks in functions file but I don't know the way to do it, I know we can use `wp_is_mobile()`.
How can I achieve that? | According to codex, `wp_is_mobile();` is a boolean function that returns true if the user is visiting the website on a mobile device, so what you need is:
if ( wp_is_mobile() ) {
// Run this only for mobile visitors
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'B_function', 10, 2 ); function B_function(/* add B */ );
} else {
//If we are not on mobile, then run this filter
add_action( 'wp_head', 'A_function' ); function A_function(/* add A */);

Default Nav Highlight
I'm using the built-in menu functionality `wp_nav_menu` in my project: joshrodg.com/polio/, all of the posts (< < etc.) don't belong to any of the items in the navigation bar (they are not listed in the navigation bar), therefore none of the links in the navigation bar get highlighted when the posts are being shown. I was wondering if there was a way to choose a default item (Home) that could be highlighted in the event that a particular post or page doesn't have their own navigation item...that way something in the navigation bar is always highlighted.
Thanks,
Josh | Assuming you are loading a single piece of content like one Post (unlike the homepage where you're combining multiple Pages with JS), something like this should do it:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
// get each menu item
var hasHighlight = 0;
// loop through to see if any have "current_page_item" class
$("#nav ul li").each(function(obj) {
if($(this).hasClass("current_page_item")) { hasHighlight++; }
});
// if none of the items are highlighted using "current_page_item" class
if(hasHighlight == 0) {
$("#nav ul li:first-child").addClass("current_page_item");
}
})(jQuery);
</script>
Enqueue this sitewide so that anytime there is a menu with id "nav" it will check and add a highlight to "Home" if nothing is highlighted. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Update all posts in a loop everyday
Im new to wordpress and I want to try out how to make all the posts therein a wordpress site update everyday with a loop every minute or so.
I haven't done anything yet. I just want to know if its possible or is there any other approach I could start on.
Many thanks! | Yes, WordPress has a cron system called WP Cron (which is not the same as a *nix cron).

Insert post's category name into thumbnail string
Hopefully a simple question. I've added several post thumbnail sizes to functions.php using add_image_size. They are each named exactly like a post category. I would like to find a way of making each post call the specific thumbnail size assigned to it's category.
The best way I can imagine doing it is by inserting the category name into the thumbnail string like so:
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'INSERT CATEGORY NAME HERE' ); ?>
What could I put in this php string to make it insert the category's name into this?
Thank you. | As @belinus mentioned, you can assign multiple categories to a post, so you have to decide which one to pass to `the_post_thumbnail()`.
One approach would be to use `get_the_category()`, which returns an array, then grabbing the first result from that function as your thumbnail size:
$categories = get_the_category();
$thumbnail_cat = ! empty( $categories[0]->slug ) ? $categories[0]->slug : '';

How do I combine these two conditionals?
I'm using two conditionals, which I want to combine into one:
if ( !is_page(56) )
if ( !is_404() ) {
// Do something.
}
The intent is 'if it's not page 56 or a 404, do something'.
I haven't found a way to combine them without it either not working or triggering an 'unexpected '||'' error.
I suspect it's because I don't know enough to correctly position the brackets. | Very easy -
if ( !is_page(56)&&!is_404())
// Do something.

AddThis Plugin adding html comments in P tags
I am using a plugin called AddThis on a website at: < With AddThis enabled I am getting some extra P tags in-between the header and the text on the page: `<p><!-- AddThis Sharing Buttons above --></p>`, this adds a lot of extra space and shouldn't be there. *On the homepage it's the space between the Welcome header and the slideshow image.
Is there a function or something out there that I could use to find and remove the html comment on the page to eliminate the extra space? I use a plugin called pSquirrel to detect and remove empty P tags, but it won't remove this one (I'm guessing because pSquirrel doesn't think it's empty because of the html comment).
Thanks,
Josh | I added this to my `functions.php` file, which removes all html comments, which eliminates the issue.

Get Sub-Menu Dropdown to Show Over Page Content
I'm using the Avada theme and when i recently did an update, my sub-menu did something weird.
Take a look at my website. check the secondary navigation ( The one in the light blue that holds the links to "Justice Peace & Integrity", "Congregation Leadership", and "International Committees" ).
The first link (Justice, Peace, ...) actually has two pages underneath it so when you hover over the link, you should see the two pages but instead you can only see the top of one link.
I applied `position:relative` to the sub-menu class and that made my drop downs appear but it also expanded the background which doesn't look good.
Any suggestions on what I could do? I feel like I'm missing something simple. | There is an overflow issue with your menu items. To solve it, head over to `Appearance > Customize` and add this piece of CSS to your custom CSS:

Best way to duplicate specific page content across two sites?
I have two sites that are both wordpress based but on separate servers. I would like the content of a specific page to be published in a format that can be included into another site's page. Basically I'd like to publish the page as some kind of a feed so another site can pull it in.
Example:
SiteA.com/about <\- about is a static page. I would like to be able to access this as a feed or something (sitea.com/about/feed)
So that on another sites's page, SiteB.com/partners, can pull in the content from siteA. If SiteA updates the content, SiteB would be in sync.
Hope this makes sense. I have looked at custom rss feeds but I am not sure if that is the right way to do this. I've looked at quite a few plugins as well but wasn't able to find the right one.
I think the right approach would be to add a plugin to SiteA that lets me access that page's content as a feed but I'm open to ideas/thoughts.
Thank you, | This is a good use case for the WP REST API. Site A's content is available through the API, so if you know the ID of the page you want to use, you can make a request for the content that way.
For example, if your About page has an ID of 2, then hitting ` would return a JSON object with the data for the page. If your page on Site B makes a request to Site A, gets the response, and displays it (without pulling it into Site B's database), then you'll always be getting the latest version of the content. There are some performance issues to look for, since you're making a remote request on every load, but it's possible to cache the response for a period of time and use the cached version to speed up the local page load.
I recommend reading through the REST API handbook for more details on how the API works and how to integrate it into a theme or plugin. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

the_author_link()

Should you manually ping new Wordpress posts?
From what I understand, Wordpress will automatically ping new post so they are indexed by search engines.
However, I still see bloggers putting out posts about how you should use all of these external pinging sites to get your posts indexed faster.
Are those sites necessary? What is wrong with the way Wordpress pings a post? | This is one of those things I tend to call “ritualistic”. Search engines will never explicitly tell you _either_ that pinging does anything or nothing at all. It's there for them to use or do nothing at all about.
From my experience semi–active WP site with basic decent SEO setup (such as sitemaps) would be scanned daily anyway.
If your content is _extremely_ (to the hour) time sensitive you could consider going extra mile to make sure about pings to _relevant_ services. Outside of that it’s not typically (in my experience) something that time gets spent on. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

404 Template customization | Want 10 recent Post on the 404.php error page apart from the error Notice

`<?php get_template_part('content','home'); ?>`
so that I can get 10 posts. | The Loop just outputs what is contained in the Main Query, it doesn't fetch any posts on its own. The Main Query is empty on a 404, so there's nothing for The Loop to output.
If you want additional content, you have to query for it yourself:
$query = new WP_Query( array('posts_per_page' => 10) );
if ( $query->have_posts() ) : while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();

How to change the wp-login.php page title?
I've been using the `document_title_parts` hook to change the page title for some front end pages. However, this doesn't seem to work for the login, register and password management pages.
How can I change the wp-login.php page `<title>`? | It looks like it's not easily accessible as it's displayed as src:

where the separator is:

and the `$title` part comes from:
login_header( $title = 'Some title' , ... );
But it looks like you've already checked this out, as I see you've filed a ticket #40812 for an extra filter to change the _separator_.
A workaround that comes to mind, to change the _separator_ , would be to use _output buffering_ hacks to replace it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to give titles to custom post type as "unique" incremental number?
I have a custom post type called 'Customers'. Data is taken using a front end form, which is then saved into the post type. But I want the titles to be automatically generated as unique incremental numbers. Meaning, it will go as 1,2,3,4..
I got most of this figured out, except a small issue. If there are no posts, then the new title will be 1. If there are posts, then code will fetch the most recent one, check it's title and generate new title by increasing it by 1. So far so good.
But if I delete the most recent post, new post added after that will be assigned same title # as the last one. Also, if I delete all posts, titles will start again from #1. I don't want any of the titles to repeat, no matter if any or even all of previous posts are deleted. I want them to always be go on incrementing, never assign the same # again. | The method for increment you used will not achieve what you want to if you delete the posts. Instead you can save the counter in wp_options table on front-end form submission, something like:
if(get_option('customers_count')){
$count = get_option('customers_count', true);
update_option('customers_count', $count+1);
} else {
/** This will automatically add the option if it does not exist. **/
update_option('customers_count', 1); // adding first time as value 1
}
It will always take new number as post title #.

data : {
\'id\' : '.get_the_ID().'

Post status doesn't update to 'future' every time?
My plugin is on two wordpress sites. The 'main' site sends a post to the child site.

'post_date_gmt' => gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+30 seconds'),
'post_content' => $_POST['post_content'],
'post_status => 'future'
);

How to add a rewrite endpoint to unattached media?
I'm trying to add an endpoint to unattached media items. This is what I hope to achieve:
example.com/attachment-slug/foo/
...where `foo` is the endpoint I'm trying to add.
Here's my code:
add_action( 'init', function() {
add_rewrite_endpoint( 'foo', EP_ATTACHMENT );
} );
add_action( 'template_redirect', function() {
global $wp_query;
if ( ! isset( $wp_query->query_vars['foo'] ) ) {
return;
}
include dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/my-template.php';
exit;
} );
This doesn't seem to work because when I visit example.com/attachment-slug/foo/ I get a 404.
How can I add an endpoint to unattached media? | `EP_ATTACHMENT` will insert rules for things attached to posts (and custom post types), but not unattached media.

How to resolve Warning: Missing argument 2 for ufwp_widget_text ()

Warning: Missing argument 3 for ufwp_widget_text() in /home/basic340/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-udemy/includes/widgets.php on line 63 | You can set `WP_DEBUG` to `false` in your wp-config.php file. **This won't fix the problem** however It will only hide **ALL** the errors generated by it and any other plugins.
The warnings mean the second and third parameters in the `ufwp_widget_text()` function have no defaults set.
If you are using this function in your own code be sure to pass all three arguments.
If you are not, you will want to make sure the plugin is up to date; it's possible the error was already fixed by the developers. If the issues still persists you can reach out to the developers to report your issue report the issue on the plugin's github repo. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

The Thumbnail aspect Ratio Issue
I have used thumbnail like this in my wordpress theme's one template →

300w,
640w"

My first question is how to put height = auto is there any function that can help us to achieve this? such as `responsive-img`
In short, I am asking should I control the width through the CSS or WordPress gives some function to do this? | If you want to remove the height value from your img URL, you can use this function:

$html = preg_replace( '/height=\"\d*\"/', "", $html );
return $html;
}
This will replace the height with an empty value. Note that you can't use `Auto` as a value for the `height` property. It won't be validated by w3 validator. However, you can set the height to auto in your CSS:

height: auto;

How to inject attributes into get_the_post_thumbnail?
I need to manipulate the `<img>` string returned by `get_the_post_thumbnail()`.
I know I can add the `$attr = "stuff here"`.
But how do I inject the source for the full size image into the one of the smaller sizes `('thumbnail', 'medium')` strings.

<img src="url/to/thumbnail_image" />

Setting up Version Control for Wordpress plugin development
Does anyone have suggestions for setting up version control for developing WordPress plugins? I'm working in a development environment, and I'm trying to avoid having to repo the entire WordPress instance. My ideal solution, is to create a repository for one individual directory that contains my plugin.
What are others using to manage their plugin development? Thanks for the advice! | I personally set up a development environment as a base of my WordPress Development, where I've dummy data and some other debugging plugins. I then create my own plugin directory and do `git init` _in it_. During plugin development, I set up the Developer plugin to _Plugin for a self-hosted WordPress installation_. It helps me to understand my plugin's performance with other plugins and themes.
Then I add my test data specific to that plugin, develop it, test it, finalize it - `git commit`.
For Git remote, I use Bitbucket and Gitlab for private plugins, and Github for public plugins.
When the plugin is ready to deploy, I then test it in other development environments similar to this, with other engines (if possible). Finally release the version `git tag -a v1.0.0`.
This setup helped me to use a single/duo Development environment for all types of development. And other environments for testing. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

image srcset returns false
I have a custom post type. Inside loop of single post template I'm trying to show a featured image with custom `srcset` attribute.
My image sizes are:
add_image_size( 'i600', 600 );

How Can I Add OnClick Event To A Specific Wordpress Menu Link

jQuery( "#menu-item-57" ).bind( "click", function() {
goog_report_conversion ('tel:800-123-4567');

Output JSON object with woocommerce products
My client needs to produce a Json file with all the latest products, so it can sync with a external site, whenever there are changes in the data -products- it is updated immediately.
They requested to have a daily update with new products, I have never used the REST Api, how can I achieve this?
Also they have mentioned that it could work with a XML file, one named products.xml with all products and a updates.xml file with all the new products that have been added to the site, I'm not sure which solution could be easier to get working.
Could they just feed from the Sitemap.xml ? I appreciate any hints. | I don't know if you still need this, but maybe someone else will.
WooCommerce already has a REST API that's very flexible.
For your request you can simply create a API Key and use it to interogate the whole list of products.
Since newest products beeing added with higher ID's they should see the latest products in the feed in real-time (carefull with the requests, it can break your server if you do too many).
Here is how you create the keys in order to authenticate the feed then following this example you can list all the products.
Finally you should have an URL like this:
The consumer_key and consumer_secret gets replaced with the ones you generated in the Wordpress Admin and the domain changes to yours.
Please do keep in mind that for this to work you need the REST API Enabled `WooCommerce > Settings > API`, usually this option comes checked by default. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

'hide_empty' => false,

How to write one comment and publish on every post using database or plugin?
I have about `500 posts` published in WordPress now I want to add one same comment on every post. How to do the by the database. I search about it, but not a good luck. thanks in advance for the help. | It would be safer to use `[wp_insert_comment()][1]` rather than manually through MySQL. WP often inserts data in multiple tables - using its core functions helps ensure that all of the data gets added in all of the right tables.
I'd suggest creating a query to pull all published posts. Then, set up a foreach loop that calls `wp_insert_comment()` on every post, thus inserting the comment on each one. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a way to conditionally check whether a WordPress post title is empty?

Copy Tags from one post type to another post type

$term,
'post_tag',

}

Button insert link on front wp_editor not working
I display a wp_editor on the front-end and everything was going fine until a recent WP update.

Do shortcodes in title before permalink is generated
I need a special behavior in the title, so I use shortcodes there, the display is fine (I just use filters `the_title`&`single_post_title`), however when permalink is generated, the shortcode stays there (it just strips out the `[` `]` )...
I need to somehow change the source title **before** the link is generated,
since **_I don't want to do/recreate the permalink logic again_**.
Note: When I used HTML directly instead of shortcodes, the desired result is delivered :) (HTML is stripped, but its inner contents are kept). However, that is unacceptable for a regular user case. | Lately I've found out that, the link is generated through `get_sample_permalink()` which uses `sanitize_title()` ... and there is a filter "`sanitize_title`" - provided with a lots of useful info :)
add_filter( 'sanitize_title', function( $title, $raw_title, $context ){
$title = do_shortcode($title);
return $title; //filter => must return!
}, 1, 3 ); //top priority (1), 3 arguments accepted
From what is seems to me `sanitize_title()` basically prepares title for an ID generation - removes html, php, and accents.
**Note:** `$title` provided to filter has already gone through process of removing accents - if you want the original - just use `$raw_title` as source ;) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

<li>Child 1-1</li>

<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages(array(
'post_type' => 'yourposttype',
'title_li' => ''
) ); ?>

<?php wp_list_pages(array(
'post_type' => $post->post_type,

stylesheet in header or functions?

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

wp_enqueue_style('stylecss', get_stylesheet_uri());

Is it possible to keep the page title from actually appearing at the top of the page?
I want the pages named and not left blank for organizational purposes, but can I keep the titles from actually showing up on the page? I've looked everywhere. | Displaying the title is part of the code inside your theme. But you can remove (hide) the title from display by looking at the CSS 'class' or 'id' your theme assigns to the title. You do this with developer tools like Firebug.
Assume that the text of the title specifies the class of 'thetitle'. Add this CSS to your theme (via the additional CSS that the theme may allow):
.thetitle {display:none; }
If your theme does not allow 'additional CSS', then your best bet is to create a Child Theme for your theme, and add the above CSS to the `style.css` of your child theme. (You don't want to modify your theme's `style.css` file, as any changes you make would be overwritten with a theme update.)
Another option is to install a plugin that allows you to add additional CSS, if your theme does not support that. There are several that are available. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Store regex expression in Wordpress DB using Options API

Update post terms with custom taxonomy
I have multiple customs post types:
> CPT1 = "bike",
>
> CPT2 = "car"
They share a common custom taxonomy _"colors"_ (with terms : _"blue"_ , _"red"_ ).
They also have their own taxonomy with terms like : _"blue_bike"_ , _"red_bike"_ ..
I'm searching how to auto update the post taxonomy with the custom taxonomy.
For example : If i only select the custom taxonomy term _"blue"_ in the Custom Post Type "Bike".
Is it possible when i save the post, it will automatically update the post with the term _"blue_bike"_ ?
And if it's possible how to do that ?
I'm trying for the past couple hours with the function `wp_set_object_terms`, with no result (my php skills are not so good) | Yes it is. But you have to know the exact taxonomy's slug, since colors are not like preserved terms to be generated programmatically. Here is an example of how to do it:
// run our function when a post is published
add_action('save_post','update_my_taxonomies');
function update_my_taxonomies($post_id){
// Check if the post has a particular taxonomy
if(has_term( 'blue', 'colors', $post_id )){
// Assign a term to our post
wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, 'blue', 'blue_bike' );
}
}
This will set the `blue` for the `blue_bike` if the post has the `blue` term as its `color` taxonomy. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Kirki: generate toggles for each taxonomy term
I'm using Kirki and trying to generate a toggle for each term in custom taxonomy (to add ability to show/hide posts for each term in the theme later):
function generate_toggles() {
$months = get_terms( array('months') );
foreach ($months as $month) :
Kirki::add_field( 'mytheme', array(
'type' => 'toggle',
'settings' => $month->slug,

'section' => 'months',
'default' => '1',
'priority' => 10,
));
endforeach;
}

What I don't understand though is where do I attach the action? Since I want it in Kirki panel – which action should I attach it to? | You can use a Kirki helper class for this (pass your taxonomy into **Kirki_Helper::get_terms** ), but you need to register after the taxonomies are registered, otherwise you get an error:

Why can't I include echo inside a variable?
So for example, say I have a piece of text from a field I want to call.
So I set the variables like this:
<?php
$text = get_field('text_field');
$outputtext = echo $text; ?>
<p><?php $outputtext ?> </p>
Is that not possible, and if so, why? Is there a particular reason why PHP is set up that way or something? | Not a WordPress question, but to do what you want you'd need to use an anonymous function.

How to set custom avatar for users?
I need to update custom image for users avatar on the time of registrations.
I've using `Pie-register` plugin and it will allow upload profile picture but saving image `url` in `user_meta` and when try to get using get_avatar it returning default avatar, but I need upload image as user avatar on all places. Like user profile page , in comment section etc.
Is this possible to display `user meta value` (image url) as user avatar for all users?
Any help will be appreciated. | We can use the `get_avatar_url` filter to modify the avatar's url.
If all the relevant `get_avatar()` calls, have _user id_ as an input argument, then it's easy to get the corresponding user's meta value, with `get_user_meta()`, within the filter's callback.
Otherwise we need to handle all possible input cases, for `get_avatar( $some_input )`, as it supports:
* user id,
* user email,
* gravatar md5 hash,
* `WP_User` object,
* `WP_Post` object
* `WP_Comment` object.
We can look into the `get_avatar_data()` function, to get an idea how to write such checks.
An alternative, to determine the user id from the `get_avatar()` input, we might try to fetch the md5 hash from the generated gravatar url and use it to determine the user id from it. Maybe store the md5 email hash for each user. The `found_avatar` argument might also help, as it's true if the avatar was found for the given user.

Load admin bar without wp_head or wp_footer

Display child page content of a specific parent on home page
This has been bugging the hell out of me, it should be so simple!

* Our Homes
* home 1
* home 2
* home 3

* Title
* Content snippet
* Image
* Map

How do I loop through each child page under 'Our Homes' and display the specified content above from each on the home page? | To me, this sounds like a good use-case for a custom post type for homes, but, in any case, this is the basic concept you'd need to follow to get this working as you've got it set up now.
<?php
// Set up the objects needed
$homes_wp_query = new WP_Query();
$all_wp_pages = $homes_wp_query->query(array('post_type' => 'page', 'posts_per_page' => '-1'));
// Get the page as an Object
$our_homes = get_page_by_title('Our Homes');
// Filter through all pages and find Our Homes' children
$home_children = get_page_children( $our_homes->ID, $all_wp_pages );
// echo what we get back from WP to the browser
echo '<pre>' . print_r( $home_children, true ) . '</pre>';
?>

How to get comment meta values by post ID
I can get comment meta value by a comment ID. But if I want to retrieve a comment meta value of a single post's comments, how should I go? | The function `get_comments` allows you to select comments based on meta value. So, supposing you are on a single post page, so the current post is known, you would do this:
$comments = get_comments (array ('meta_key'=> 'your_meta_key'));
This will give you all comments with that specific meta key. You can even select them for a specific meta value, like this:
$comments = get_comments (array ('meta_key'=> 'your_meta_key', 'meta_value'=> 'your_meta_value'));
For instance, if you have a meta key called 'rating' and you want all comments that give the rating '5', you would do:
$comments = get_comments (array ('meta_key'=> 'rating', 'meta_value'=> '5'));
Beware that `$comments` returns as an array of comment objects, so printing goes like this:
foreach($comments as $comment) {
echo ($comment->comment_content);
echo get_comment_meta($comment->comment_ID, 'rating', true)

Remove parentheses from tag cloud count
I am trying to remove the parentheses from the tag cloud widget and add in `<span class="post_count"> </span>` in place of it.
Currently I have not been having any luck. I have this working for categories just fine but not sure why it won't work for the tag cloud count.

Clone the "proceed to cart" button and place it above checkout on the cart page, but only appear display size is 320px
I have cloned the "proceed to cart" button and float on the upper-right corner on the Woocommerce cart page. However I want this button to appear only when the browser is compressed (simulating mobile display), but go away when browser is stretched to the size of PC display. How to do it?

Checkout', 'woocommerce' ) . '</a>';
}
} else
if(width > 325){
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart', 'move_proceed_button' );
});
?> | I finally found solution to the above issue. At your wordpress functions.php inside your child-theme folder, add this code:
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart', 'move_proceed_button' );

}
The above code will clone the "Proceed to Checkout" button and place it above checkout. Now to make it appear only when screen size is that of a mobile device. Add this css codes on your style.css inside your child-theme folder.
.mobile-checkout-btn {
display: none;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
@media(max-width: 991px) {

Difference between 'type' => 'text' and WP_Customize_Control

I was wondering if there is any difference between the `'type' => 'text'` option in the `$wp_customize->add_control` control
$wp_customize->add_control( 'textfield_1_control', array(
'label' => __('Textfield 1', 'cvh'),

'description' => 'type => text',

'label' => __('Textfield 2', 'cvh'),
'section' => 'test_section',
'settings' => 'textfield_setting_2',
'description' => 'WP_Customize_Control',

wp ajax return 0

If I update WordPress my custom data will be deleted from the wp_users table?
If I update WordPress my custom data will be deleted from the wp_users table? I add new custom field and store data to users at this field if I update WordPress and WordPress needs to update this table my custom field will be deleted? | It is possible, especially if the update includes changes to the user table. The only way to be sure is to test it, but for future reference:
**Never modify the scheme of WordPress Tables**
If you need to add additional information about something, WordPress provides meta, user meta, site meta, post meta, comment meta. You may know these as custom fields.
For example:
$value = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'example', true );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'example', 'newvalue' );
$all_meta = get_user_meta( $user_id );
Adding columns manually to tables also bypasses the caching layer slowing things down, encourages writing manual SQL statements ( you could have used the `WP_User_Query` class! ), and stops the information being imported/exported ( custom post types get put in content exports, custom tables don't )
I recommend writing a small WP CLI command to fetch each user and store these columns as user meta instead | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Best way to develop a new theme on a live site, with new content?
So I've worked with WP on many different occasions, but always either for a fresh install, or on a low-traffic live site with minor edits done in production.
I'm going to be working on an overhaul of a site that is currently live. What I'm doing is not only creating a new theme, but also overhauling almost all of the content. I'm essentially creating a new site on the same WP install.
If I was editing just the theme, I understand there are several ways to do this. However, for editing both theme and content while not disturbing a live site, what is the best way to go about this?
Thanks! | You should never do work on a live site (of any size).
Copy the existing site to another server, give it a temporary domain and block search engines in some way (robots.txt, http auth, ...). Depending on the work you do, you could stay connected to the same MySQL server, but it is usually recommended to also copy the tables to another db.
Now you have an environment where you can do all your work without any fear that if anything breaks, the live site will suffer. Once you are finished, simply upload your themes and plugins to the live site, install them, et voilà.
You can even use the regular theme update method for custom themes not hosted in the official repository. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
