How to get Custom Taxonomy ID from the post ID
In my setup, I have two custom taxonomy called **Regions** & **Sections**. All the post in site can either be from region taxonomy or from section taxonomy.
At certain point outside the loop I have the post details and I need the taxonomy ID. I don't have the taxonomy name at that point to use get_the_terms function.
Any help will be very appreciated. | You can use `wp_get_post_terms()` which will return all the terms attached to the post, if any. Then, the first term of the array will be able to tell you which taxonomy it belongs to:
global $post;
$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, array( 'regions', 'sections' ) );
if( ! empty( $terms ) && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {
$taxonomy = $terms[0]->taxonomy;
}
I do not know what your taxonomy slugs are so I guess, you may need to change them to fit your specific setup. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Assets in css dont link properly in pages other than home
Hello I have a small issue regarding my linking in my style.css
For example:
@font-face {
src: url('wp-content/themes/mytheme/fonts/font.ttf');
}
and
.div {
background: url('wp-content/themes/mytheme/images/img.png');
}
My home page works perfectly, assets link correctly but when I go to another page such as "about" the links are broken because it does this:
`www.url.com/about/wp-content/themes/mytheme/images/img.png`
Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks | You're using relative URLs that will always look inside the current URL structure. You either need to add a slash before wp-content, or put in the full URL to the resources.

How can I change the background color of a contact box?
. Something like, if the contact box has a class called `contactbox`, then you would use CSS similar to
.contactbox {background-color:#888888; }
If an 'id' is used, then your Custom CSS would be similar to:
#contactbox {background-color:#888888; }
If your theme does not support Custom CSS, then you will need to create a Child Theme and put the above CSS in the Child Theme's style.css file.
You don't want to modify the theme's CSS, as any changes you make will get overwritten on a theme update. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Install translation files that should survive updates
Someone prepared me a `.po` and a `.mo` file for a commercial theme we are using.

How get Themes list via REST api?

I've gone through this documentation but I didn't find any relevant end-point.
Is it possible at this moment? | You can write your own endpoint and use `wp_get_themes` to get a list of themes via that. Here is a simple one:

use get_theme_mod from all sites in network
I'm creating a site that shows all sites in the network. Each site in the network has a theme customizer where a user enters text. I was able to get the name and url of the site but need to find a way to get the theme option from that site.
This is the code I'm using so far:

Automatic Website user password generation
I have created a ticketing system on my website, so users can log in and request a call out.
However wordpress is currently set so that any new users need an administrator to log in and generate them a password, and then email it out.

Programmatically setting Woocommerce product price

How do I dynamically create a woocommerce product, or change an established product's price based on the 'Time Left' calculation I performed?

Displaying All Posts of a Custom Post Type in Wordpress Multisite Backend

How to create a php variable using Wordpress the_title() function
I want to create a php variable which will use the `the_title` function:
So if the title of the post is "Style" the variable will name will be `$style` and if the post title is "Dog" the variable name will be `$Dog`.
Is it possible?
I tried `${the_title()};`
But it echoes the title.
My goal is to use at as a dynamic variable inside a each loop and increase it's number every time it gets the same title. so for example for each post with unique title it will be set to '1' but if a title repeats a second time it will be set to '2' and so on... | Indeed, the `the_title` function echoes the title, unless you set the third parameter to false (default true). So you start with this;
$title = the_title ('','',false);
Now, `$title` may contain all kinds of characters that cannot be used in PHP variable names, so we need some sanitization:
$title = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\_]/', '', $title); // Removes special chars except underscore.
Then you use PHP variable variables to turn the content of `$title` into a variable name:
$$title = 'something';
So, if `the_title` gives the value "hello world", the `$title` variable after sanitizing has the value "helloworld" and `$helloworld` has the value "something". | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Sort / display recent posts by publish date
I recently renovated some sites and made many small (usually typos) corrections to several posts. That of course changed the last update date, so that now, if I display recent posts in a widget, they are sorted in a totally useless way. The best sort order would be by publish date, but I don't see such option anywhere.
Is it possible to display recent posts by publish date instead of update date? | The Recent Posts widget, and the posts page for that matter, doesn't display ordered by update date, it orders by published date. If it's displaying by updated date then you must have a plugin somewhere that's changing this behaviour, or are using something other than the standard Recent Posts widget. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Change link for "add new" buttons on custom post type
I know how to use capabilities to remove the "Add New" functionality for a custom post type, but what I really need to do is change the target of those links. Does anyone know how I might go about doing that?
I would be an "external" link (to the front end of the website) and not a page on wp-admin. | in most of the case WordPress ui uses `admin_url()` function to retrieve administrative urls. so you can use `admin_url` filter to modify that.
Example:
add_filter( 'admin_url', 'wpse_271288_change_add_new_link_for_post_type', 10, 2 );
function wpse_271288_change_add_new_link_for_post_type( $url, $path ){
if( $path === 'post-new.php?post_type=your_custom_post_type' ) {
$url = get_permalink(/*your post ID here*/); // or any other url
}
return $url;
}
Change `your_custom_post_type` with your custom post type name.

How to add meta data to WordPress posts?
In a clean WordPress installation, how do you add meta keywords and meta description in head tag of my WordPress pages? There aren't any fields for these.
I don't want to touch my code since I'm new to WordPress. I want to do this only by WordPress itself. | I assume you are trying to add metadata to the header, such as Open Graph. To do so, you can hook into `wp_head` and output your content there directly. Add this piece of code to your theme's (or your child theme's) `functions.php` file:
//Hook to wp_head
add_action('wp_head','add_my_metadata');
function add_my_metadata(){
// Echo any content your wish here. Replace this with what you want.
echo '<meta name="keywords" content="Keyword1, Keyword2"/>';
}
Notice, that your theme must have `<?php wp_head(); ?>` in its `header.php` file in order for you to be able to output any content there.
## UPDATE
If you are new to WordPress, you can install a plugin. There are plenty of known plugins that can do this for you, the most distinguished one is Yoast SEO which automatically does this for you. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Reporting errors in a shortcode plugin
I have a plugin that expands a spanning shortcode into a `<table>`, and one of the parameters is the number of columns, eg:
[table cols=3]
Row 1
Data
33%
Row 2
Data
67%
[/table]
Now, using the raw HTML editor I might forget to add the `cols`, or I might enhance my plugin so that it can make an intelligent guess at the real number of columns, etc, but how can I report to the post editor that there is an error or warning? My usual workflow is to edit the post in a text editor, paste it into the HTML editor, save draft, then preview. What is the recommended way to pop up an error in either the backend or the preview window? If I'm in a hurry, for instance, I might not scroll down to the table to see an error message directly inserted into the stream at the `[table]` tag, so the simple solution is probably not suitable. | Take a look at `admin notices`. If you the cols parameter isn't set use some code like this:
function sample_admin_notice_fail() {
?>
<div class="notice notice-error is-dismissible">
<p><?php _e( 'You forgot the cols parameter!', 'sample-text-domain' ); ?></p>
</div>
<?php
}
add_action( 'admin_notices','sample_admin_notice_fail' );

Get multiple term IDs by slug, and then exclude them in get_terms

Include images from pages in wp search.php results in default wp search

How can I make wp default gallery responsive?
I want my WP **default gallery** to go from 4 columns on computer screens down to 2 on mobile devices. | You can try using css to control the visual layout.
I have tested on my dev server and this was successful.

what we have done is set the column to 50% the total container width when viewing on devices smaller then 320px. You can adjust this as you see fit.

Wordpress Multisite - When a user signs-up on main site, how to add the user to a subsite

Loading custom post thumbnail into stream
I would like to get a hold of the feature image to perform image manipulation on it.
First I want to load it, then manipulate it and turn the final image into base64 for displaying it in the HTML.
Any idea how can I get a hold of the image? | You can write a function to grab the featured image by post's ID, then manipulate it and return it as whatever format you wish.

// Get the thumbnail's URL
$thumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail_url( $post->ID,'thumbnail' );
// Now, process it the way you want
// Return the processed image

}
Now you can convert the post's thumbnail to base64 by calling `covert_thumbnail_to_base64();`. if you use this inside a loop, you don't have to pass the post's ID to the function. Otherwise, you should feed the function with a post ID.
If you need the absolute path to the image, you can use `get_attached_file()` in conjunction with `get_post_thumbnail_id()`:

How can I comment comma-separated array values?

) );

Is it better to store images and other files in the root directory or the theme directory
I'm wondering what the best practice is for storing images, css, js etc in my file manager. I've come up with these 2 possible options as my preferred options.
1. Create folders (`images/`, `css/`, `js/`) in the root directory
And refer to these files like `<img src="/images/image1.png">` for example...
OR
2. Create folders (`images/`, `css/`, `js/`) in the specific theme directory

Thanks! | Of the two option you proposed, the latter is better for maintainability.
The reason is, if you ever need to move the site to another server or use the theme on another site, it seems an easier process to move / reuse.
If you're not using the image for themeing, consider just using media library for post/page embeds.

Are there procedures to prevent malicious plugin updates?
This is a random thought I've had today. Here's the scenario:
I've got a plugin on the WordPress store with 100+ active installs. I recently updated the plugin and pushed the changes to the WordPress SVN. Around 60% of users updated the plugin in the first couple of days - but what's not to say that I could have updated my own plugin with malicious code? For example, my plugin lets users create a phone number shortcode - but in the update, I could have changed the code to check if a plugin such as WooCommerce was installed and forward on their customer data to an external location. Are there procedures in place to prevent such things?
It worried me slightly because I have many plugins written by other developers on my website and I update them without checking what changes have been made all the time! | **TLDR: No. It's all about trust.**
So there are some very basic checks on wp.org but generally this can happen (and probably also does happen from time to time). Of course if something like this happens and people notice it wp.org can block updates or replace them with something safe.
Also have a look at the WordPress.org Theme and Plugin Repositories section.
What you can do is not really any different than what you'd do whenever you install software, things like:
* look at the source code
* research on the plugin and/or the developer to decide if they deserve your trust
* talk to other people about the plugin
* do not randomly install plugins you come along
* hire someone to do audits

How to set status codes such as 401 and 403?
Setting a 404 in WordPress can be done quite easily using the `set_404()` method of `WP_Query` and the `status_header()` function. Here's an example taken from `WP::handle_404()`:
$wp_query->set_404();
status_header( 404 );
nocache_headers();
If I wanted my tag archive to be accessible to authenticated users only, setting a 404 page for non-authenticated users wouldn't make sense because the resource does exist, it's just not available to logged-out users.
**My question**
How would I set a 401 in WordPress? | The same way you would in any other PHP program:
header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized");
exit;
WordPress has special handling for 404 because there's a 404 template. Usually if something happens such as a 401, there is no special template, but you can make use of `wp_die` which will show a message in a simple UI
header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized");
wp_die( 'forbidden' );
This will show the message in a white rectangle with rounded edges and sans-serif text on a gray background, then call `exit`/`die` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Detect inside a custom query the kind of post type to assign custom classes
I have created the following query in order to get several post types in a custom page, which so far works:
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => array('things', 'people', 'post'),
'posts_per_page' => -1,
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
$postcount = 0;
?>
<?php if ($query->have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>
<?php the_title( '', '', true ); ?>
<?php $count++; // Increase the count by 1 ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; // END the Wordpress Loop ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
I want to have each post type with a class, or several classes. If it is a people custom post type, add the class people around. How can I do it? | The `post_class` function will do this for you automatically within the loop:
<div <?php post_class(); ?>>
which will add some combination of these classes:
* .post-[id]
* .[post-type]
* .type-[post-type]
* .status-[post-status]
* .format-[post-format] (default to 'standard')
* .post-password-required
* .post-password-protected
* .has-post-thumbnail
* .sticky
* .hentry (hAtom microformat pages)
* .[taxonomy]-[taxonomy-slug] (includes category)
* .tag-[tag-name]
You can also get just the post type within the loop via the `get_post_type` function:

Enqueueing scripts and styles multiple CPTS
I am trying to load several scripts and stylesheets into a plugin I am creating. I want to load scripts into multiple CPTs within admin. I have got this far:
function fhaac_admin_enqueue_scripts(){
global $pagenow, $typenow;
if ( ($pagenow == 'post.php' || $pagenow == 'post-new.php') && $typenow == 'fhaac' ){}

The scripts are being loaded into the fhaac, but nothing else. I am not sure how to add multiple CPTs. I tried adding them in an array, but it didn't work.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers | There is a built-in function that you can use, instead of globals. The `get_current_screen()` function allows you to get the information associated with the current page.
One of its return values is `post_type`. So you can check against an array of post types to see if anyone matches.
function fhaac_admin_enqueue_scripts(){
$screen = get_current_screen();
if (
in_array( $screen->post_type, array('fhaac','blabla')) &&
$screen->base == 'post'

Would deactivating the Simple 301 Redirects plugin deactivate the 301 redirects themselves?
One of the websites I'm working on is on the same domain as a previous version that was built with Magento. Due to this, the Google Search Console found _thousands_ of 404 errors. Using the aptly named Simple 301 Redirects plugin however, I've been able to patch these holes in our dinghy, and have submitted the sitemap to the Search Console every time I've gone through and added more redirects, and as of today, it returns only three 404s for desktop and one for mobile.
However, the site in question is getting heinously sluggish, and I suspect that storing or acting on the data for this plugin is partly responsible for this, so I would like to either deactivate it for the time being or clear its contents. Will doing either of these deactivate the 301 redirects? And do I have to worry about deactivating them if I have submitted my sitemap? | **Yes** , the redirects will no longer exist if you deactivate the plugin.
I've just manually checked in the plugin's files. Your redirects get saved to a option named `301_redirects`, the plugin then hooks into `init` with its `redirect()` function, which does what it is named after.
This means once you deactivate the plugin, this option won't be checked anymore and more importantly, no redirects will be issued. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Root-relative paths being rewritten on 'Edit Page'
I'm helping my wife migrate a WordPress site for an organization that she is a part of. When we exported the database, I ran a `sed` command in bash to convert instances of `//previousDomain/path` to just `/path`, and this has seemed to mostly work.
However, whenever we edit a page that has a root-relative link, the link is appended with a domain name, that we believe is related to some previous hosting in the past, but is neither a valid domain anymore, nor is present anywhere in our database files (excepting for the pages we have edited) or the php code itself. (The change is from `/path` to `
It smells like this might have something to do with JetPack, but we cannot find any toggle or field to prevent this from happening, and, as far as we can tell, certain content settings are contingent on JetPack. However, we do not know for certain if this is the case. | WordPress is strongly opinionated about using absolute URLs. It’s not right or wrong, just the way it is. One of the reasons for their decision is exactly the unholy complexity of _migrating_ relative URLs, which can be _very_ hard to adjust when moving levels is involved.
If existing WP install is using relative URLs, then someone had to go extra mile to make that adjustment. It is hard to guess what they have done and how.
For a long term solution practical recommendation is too comply with WP native approach and normalize to using absolute URLs. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Use wp_update_user to update custom column in wp_users table
I've added a new column to `wp_users` table. Now I'd like to update it with `wp_update_user()`, however though the method returns no errors, no value is being saved. `wp_get_current_user` is returning the new column, but the value is empty.
Does it mean `wp_update_user()` can handle only standard columns? Couldn't find anything about that in docs.
I am aware of the meta key-value table for user defined columns, but it would be more convenient to have new field in user table in my scenario.
The code is simple:
$user_info = wp_get_current_user();
$user_info->creditBalance = 44;
$user_id = wp_update_user( $user_info ); // doesn't seem to update the creditBalance | It is not a good practice to add/remove columns to/from the core tables in WordPress. There is no guarantee that the very next update doesn't change this table's behavior, or even overwrite your column. Your best approach is to use metadata as you mentioned.
But, if you need to do this for some reason, you can do it by writing your own SQL query.
// Get current user's data
$user_info = wp_get_current_user();
// Get its ID
$id = $user_info->ID;
// Set the credit balance
$creditBalance = 44;
// Update the custom column
function update_custom_column( $id, $creditBalance ) {
global $wpdb;
$wpdb->query(
$wpdb->prepare( "
UPDATE $wpdb->users
SET creditBalance = %d
WHERE ID = %d",
$creditBalance,
$id
)
);

"Order" parameters belong to the main parameters array.
I can't vouch for the part of your code that concerns the year and the above-undefined variable $ppy, but if you want the posts from a specified year in ascending order by 'post_date' (which is the default), you'd try:
$args = array(
'date_query' => array(
'year' => $ppy,
),
'order' => 'ASC',
);
You can leave off 'post_date', since it's the default, but it doesn't hurt to specify if you've got a lot else going on that may potentially change the query. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Get ID of current taxonomy in register_rest_field

Customizer: How do you add HTML to control labels?
I have a simple control that displays a checkbox in the Customizer:

'label' => __( '<strong>Display Text</strong>', 'minitheme' ),
However, it just outputs the HTML tags in the Customizer like this:
`<strong>Display Text</strong>`
How do I get it to display bold instead of outputting the HTML? I've run into this problem several times when I try to output HTML in the Customizer. Same problem with `esc_html()`. | You should use CSS for this. For example:
#customize-control-display_about_text label {
font-weight: bold;
}
Enqueue the stylesheet for this at the `customize_controls_enqueue_scripts` action.
If you must use JS to modify a control, then note that I would not advise using `jQuery.ready` in the other answer. You should instead make use of the Customizer JS API to access the control once it is ready, for example enqueue a script at the `customize_controls_enqueue_scripts` action which contains:
wp.customize.control( 'display_about_text', function( control ) {
control.deferred.embedded.done( function() {
control.container.find( 'label' ).wrapInner( '<strong></strong>' );
});
});

Is it better to add to style.css or create your own css when using a template?

Adding a section to admin menu for global settings
Bear with me a moment as I am still relatively new to WP dev.
I am currently building a custom site that loads certain blocks on pages using get_template_part(); .
So for example, the home page will have it's own relevant content but will also include generic content (subscribe, contact, awards...). I do not want these sections to be hard-coded but instead leave them as editable, ideally as an additional menu option within the admin area so the user only needs to change it in one place.
My current solution is not ideal. I am using the Advanced Custom Forms plugin and placing the required text in the default text area. However, even if this is updated it will not update all pages globally and the user will need to go into each individual page to re-publish the it with the new content.

url rewriting for custom post types
I have a post-type Collection with custom-post-type categories.
I want the following url structure: www.baseurl.com/collection/current-category-name/postname

),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'the-url-you-want',
)
);

What does this message from WP_DEBUG mean?
I have been having server 500 errors on 3 separate WordPress websites over the last while. (The problem BTW does seems to be related to the wordpress_logged_in***** cookie because deleting that always solves the problem temporarily) but this is not really my question ...

I couldn't find much information but this page < seems to suggest that it might not be an error. **Could anyone confirm this?** | The log message says "Valid response received" and the response code in the JSON object is 200, which is typically a response for a success request. I think it is not an error. Note that the docs for `WP_Community_Events::maybe_log_events_response()` says "All responses are logged when debugging, even if they’re not WP_Errors". I understand that if `WP_DEBUG` is on, then all responses are logged, even when success.
The IP, according with the code comments, _usually_ is the same that made the request. In some cases it can be different (for example when the IP is private). The IP used in the request is the client IP converted to a network ID in order no anonymize the ID. See `WP_Community_Events::get_unsafe_client_ip()`.

Direct link to post when multiple categories are selected

What are the requirements to make the admin toolbar show up on the front end
I have done some weird things with a few custom theme pages. Namely, i have bypassed the wp_query and obtained data from a different db. I populate the post object with custom data and then inject this into my theme. Since the toolbar shows up fine normally, there must be some sort of trigger that i am bypassing by not calling the wordpress DB. I am 100% sure the theme is not the cause of the issue here, it is the messing that i have done. However, there are no errors in the code, everything works good. What does the admin toolbar require in order to load? Is there some hook i can call manually in order to make it render?
I have tried messing around with the code and info from the wordpress docs < | Daves comment to the question was the solution to this.

You can make the admin bar show up by calling
_wp_admin_bar_init();

Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) - Purchase Receipt emails couldn't be logged
I'm trying to _log the purchase receipt email_ sent out by the EDD plugin, in the database. But I'm unable to do so.
The custom plugin that logs emails is hooked on to `wp_loaded` hook and filters all emails by the following filter.
add_filter( 'wp_mail', array( $this, 'log_email' ) );
But the purchase receipt emails are not logged.
Note: The custom plugin logs others emails sent. Example, if I use WP Mail SMTP plugin to send a test email, the email is perfectly logged into database.
I debugged to see if my hook is invoked at a later point, but I found that EDD sends the purchase receipts emails via `init` hook.
I further debugged and found that my plugin is **not** hooked into global $wp_filter var.
`var_dump( $wp_filter['wp_mail'] );`
Reference: WordPress Action hook sequence
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. | `wp_loaded` hook is fired after `init` hook.
So by the time you add your filter, the filter is already called by EDD.

How can I get rid of the automatically generating <span> tags?

WordPress Screen options does not show any fields

random display categories - change url
This part of my script runs WordPress categories and displays them in a random order.

<div class="carousel_items">
<div class="category_image">
