Secure login without SSL?
I use WordPress to host a blog, so I need to log in to use the Admin Panel. Since I do not have and SSL certificate , is there any way to make the login secure without one?
Note: I don't want to use Let's Encrypt because I don't agree with their privacy policy. | After much research, I figured out that there is no way to do it. I ended up choosing to use Cloudflare, as they proved free HTTPS along with other useful features. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it possible to roll back to a previous customization of Genesis?
Excuse my ignorant question, but couldn't find anything about this anywhere.
I did some changes on a Genesis based site. The site was set to **display last posts** (rather than static page) and I used the _customizer_ to make changes. Now, the site owner told me she doesn't want the changes, and to roll back to what it was.
I exported the site before anything, so I guess I can recover from that. But in my experience, every time I have used the **WP generated Export backup** it duplicated a lot of things, specially menu items.
I would like to know if it's possible to roll back in some way, without importing the file. I only need 3 or 4 lines of text and importing will cause more trouble than writing them (if I had those lines, of course).
If not, is there a way to check on the import file for the way the customization was at the moment I backed it up? | You may find that < may be useful in retrieving a snapshot, or at least being able to take a snapshot before you do work like this again in the future. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Custom shortcodes not working using __s theme
I'm trying to register a new shortcode on my custom theme.
In functions.php I have created a basic test function as follows
function get_second_image($atts) {
echo ‘test’;
}
And registered it right underneath
add_shortcode( ‘case_study_second_image_sc’, ‘get_second_image’ );
Using the WYSIWYG editor I insert the shortcode [case_study_second_image_sc] but it just displays as the raw code on the page.
I'm calling the page content using
<?php the_content(); ?>
in the template file.
Based on info from another SE question I have searched my theme's files for any add or remove filter functions but there don't appear to be any that would be getting in the way. | Make sure to use straight quotes, e.g. `'` or `"` and not curly quotes `‘`, `’`, `“`, or `”` for strings.
Also, shortcodes should return their output, not echo it.
When WordPress finds a shortcode without a callback, it displays the shortcode tag just as it was entered e.g. `[case_study_second_image_sc]`.
The shortcode tag `‘case_study_second_image_sc’` and the associated callback `‘get_second_image’` will be parsed as constants by PHP. This means we won't have a valid shortcode tag or callback function for our shortcode and WP will just output the shortcode as it was entered by the user.
Turning on error reporting helps to find these tricky errors (sometimes curly quotes appear in copy/pasted code and it can be difficult to differentiate quotes in some editors).

Amend description of menu location in customizer Wordpress

Changing title of wordpress RSS feed

Can I use REST-API on plain permalink format?
Recently all of my REST-API requests suddenly turned to return a 404 error, Every request (no matter custom endpoint or built-in).
Then I figured it's because of permalink's structure. `/wp-json/` is not accessible under plain permalink, since there is simply no redirect rule available at the moment.
Is it possible to use the REST endpoints in this situation? Both custom and built-in. | Yes you can. Just add the `rest_route` query parameter.
So
<
would become
<
Or ` would become ` to give you a more complete example.
So you're wondering how to decide which one to use? Worry no more, there's a function for that: `get_rest_url()`
Another option is the fact that by default there is a `<link>` in the header that gives you the API root.
<link rel=' href=' />
So in case you need to figure that out from client side JS just use something along the lines of
document.querySelectorAll('link[rel="
* * *
So basically you shouldn't take the `wp-json` part as given (and hardcode it) but always build it dynamically either using `get_rest_url()` or the JS approach mentioned above. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can I restore a plugin that was accidentally deleted? (on localhost)
I did something really stupid and accidentally removed a plugin that I've been working on for weeks, with no backups. (I know! Learning moment!)
**Is there any way I can restore this plugin?** It's not in my Windows recycle bin.
I deleted it through the WordPress wp-admin interface. Going to Plugins and clicking **Delete**.
Any help is greatly appreciated! | Shot answer: It depends.
* If you store your wordpress in a partition which do not contain OS, you get higher chance to recovery it.
* If you has not rebooted your PC, you get higher chance.
* If you've just deleted your plugins, you're likely to be able to recover it.
Try some data recovery softwares (like Recover My Files - Data Recovery) **as soon as posible**. I tried it sometimes in the past and have good result.
Next times, you should use a version control software like `git` and a remote git hosted service like github or bitbucket to save your ass.

Multiple pages per post (not pagination)

I'm not new to wordpress but I don't have any clue how to do this. I was looking for help on the internet but every article was about splitting long posts using pagination. So the question is **how to make multiple pages per post?** | You can use a custom post type, e.g. `movies` and then you can have some rewrite rule which will basically render something like this `movies/movieId/ratings` to `movies/movieId/?page=ratings`.

How to print raw query from WP_Query class just like in CodeIgniter

Advanced Custom Fields - Google Map Won't Render Unless Variable Dumped

<div class="acf-map">
<div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo $location['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['lng']; ?>"></div>

Editing Them with Child Theme Basics
I've spent the past 3 hours attempting to edit my theme with little results and would greatly benefit from a few basics.
I'm trying to edit my site, www.yodega.com/sell. I have a child theme created with `style.css` and `functions.php` files.
I'm trying to make some theme alterations - in the photo I've marked a few things I'm trying to edit (with direction on these I'm confident I can use what I learn to apply it to the rest of the edits I need to make).
, then use the developer tools (like Firebug on Firefox; or the native developer tools in FF or Chrome), to inspect the element's CSS. Use the CSS name as shown in the CSS inspector pane in your child theme's `style.css` file to change the 'look' of that element (like background color, margins, padding, etc).
If you are trying to change what WP 'builds' on the page (the generated page source), then you need to dig into the templates that the theme uses by copying a template to your child theme folder, then editing that file.
There are some great tutorials out there for either purpose. Start at a site like www.wpbeginner.com for a tutorial that will help.

School & class blogs - renaming/archiving post categories?
In a small school we use WP to create class-blog posts, therefore each posts may be assigned to a class-blog category representing the class (Year 1, Year 2, etc). While this was fine until school end, for next year it won't make much sense as students are moving to next-year "classes".
Possible solutions:
1. Delete all last-year class-blog posts
2. Rename old categories to something else such as "2017.18 - Year 1" and create new categories for next year
3. Leave as is
Solution number 2 seems good, but this will make grow the categories list over time and may lead to confusion for teachers creating posts (having to scroll through longer lists of categories)
Your thoughts? | What you can do is, create a new taxonomy `session` and use it with `classes`.
In this way you don't have to create each class again and you will be able to differentiate which session (and class) a blog post is linked to.

Demo Import changes terms ids
I am using < to create a one click demo import for my theme, however, when i click the button to import the demo data which i have exported via WordPress, the pages that use the custom post type categories with an ID of 9 stop working because when the demo data get imported the categories change their ID to 20 or something.

<wp:term_name><![CDATA[fullscreen_slider]]></wp:term_name>

the terms have their ids changed? | AFAIK, when a new term is imported, it will get an arbitrary ID, similar to posts. If all you need is a term attached to some posts, then it's fine, because WordPress handles that automatically.
However, if you use the term ID somewhere else, like in the Customizer, you can't get the new term ID.
I'd suggest you should not rely on the term ID. Why not using term slug? It's not kind of 100% unique, but in most cases, it remains the same when you import. And you can easily get the term via `get_term_by`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it ok to paste a WordPress Image URL into a post?
I notice that if you insert an image into a post (from your existing media library) WordPress inserts specific WP Code...
My question is (since I am curious) - is there a problem with simply just copying and pasting the image URL and inserting that into the text portion of a (for example) WordPress post?
Thanks | There is no actual problem of copying any link to the content. WordPress itself actually has an option for this. If you want to paste a URL, use this feature instead. You can add a media from URL in the `Add media` screen.
Click the `Add media` button in the visual editor, and then choose `Insert from URL` from the left panel. You can then add a caption, alt text and/or align your image.
But if you copy the link directly into the editor, you won't get stuff like captions. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can multiple sites under one folder structure share media directories?
I have a client that has 3 sites. Two of them are retail and one of them is wholesale. They all carry the same products, so the majority of the media files are the same on all 3 sites. Two of the sites are subfolders of the 'main' site.
To save drive space and effort on my part, is it possible to have a single media library and have the 3 sites share it? Could i do this by setting the media directory of 2 of the sites to a soft link to the 3rd media directory?
A multisite set up will not work for me due to the tools i'm using.
I'm assuming that the media serialized data would mess that up, but has anyone tried this before? | Yes you can use Linux symlinks for your "slave" sites `/uploads/` folders, and point those symlinks to your main site's `/uploads/` directory and WordPress doesn't know the difference :)
The folder structure of your server doesn't matter, this solution works with all kinds of complex directory trees as long as your have the ability to add symlinks:

Highlight another nav item
I am using WordPress to develop a picture gallery website. I have albums and galleries, with different permalinks...` and ` but only the albums appear in the main navigation.
The code for my navigation looks like:
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages("title_li="); ?>
</ul>
</div>
Because I am using the `wp_list_pages()` function, the current page that you're on gets a `current_page_item` class added to the `li` tag.
The gallery page is not part of the main navigation, so when someone is viewing one of the gallery pages, nothing is highlighted in the main navigation.
I'd like to highlight the album page in the main navigation when someone is viewing a gallery page. Because each gallery is in album, it makes sense to highlight that page.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Open the_author_link() in a new window

What is phpBB? Is it something like a plugin which I can use in Wordpress?
I did some research on phpBB. It says it's a forum plugin, but it is nowhere mentioned that this plugin can be used in Wordpress. Then I saw this forum where phpBB and Wordpress plugins are compared (still look like both are different).

Sorry for too many questions. | > phpBB is a free flat-forum bulletin board software solution

I am not sure where had you got “plugin” bit from, phpBB is most definitely _standalone software_ , which does not require or rely on WordPress.
If you see the mentions of the two together it typically refers to some form of integration, such as sharing login details for users between them.

Why WordPress Core Functions Not Using function_exists()?
This might be a stupid question. But I thought to ask it here.
It is really bad changing core file and I know that there are **actions and filters** in WordPress. But there are some limitations.
So why WordPress Core Functions Not Using function_exists()? I mean something like below example in core files.
if(!function_exists('wp_insert_post')){
function wp_insert_post( $postarr, $wp_error = false ) {
//Core Code
}
}
Then give a way to run PHP file before core files. So any developer can modify the core files without changing core files. | _Some_ do, a number of core functions is specifically designated _pluggable_ and contained in `pluggable.php` for exactly this purpose.
It is also quite a messy approach and is often regretted it’s a thing at all.
The problems are loosely:
* the replacement works _exactly once_ ;
* letting extensions mess with core _definitions_ can lead to very volatile results.
The problem with letting developers modify core files is often not _how_ to allow this, but _how to make it unnecessary_. The latter is much more reasonable approach and basis for WP’s strong extensibility and success of its hooks API. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Does Wordpress Import/Export tool actually exports media (images) as well?

This means, if you use the official WordPress Importer plugin, it will read the media URL from the file, download that file and finally upload it to your new install.
When your old site is offline, eg. taken offline after malware infection, you won't be able to import any media files this way.

Storing product price data in the database
I am writing a Wordpress plugin to store product data that is pulled from the Amazon Affiliates API. My goal is to have an admin page where I can add new products and view/edit/remove existing products.
Essentially I will assign each product a custom slug such as "amazon-miter-saw-blade", then I can use a shortcode such as `[wp_product id="amazon-miter-saw-blade"]`. This will output something along the lines of
14 Inch Miter Saw Blade - $14.99
For each custom shortcode slug I want to store a product name, price and ID. The name and ID will remain static and the price will be updated every hour on a scheduled cron. As there will potentially be hundreds of products, what are the common options for storing such data? So far I have found that I can create a custom database table, use `add_option` or transients. Transients would be fine for the price but since the rest is static, would a custom database table or options be better suited? | The canonical solution for this kind of problems is to use a custom post type and "get" with zero effort admin framework and caching when object caching is used.

Programatically adding custom filters to post list

How to filter wp_get_recent_posts() to only posts that have thumbnails?
I made a script that shows recent posts. But here's the problem, I want to show only posts that have thumbnails, and I want to show at least 10 posts if there are that many without thumbnails. So the filtering needs to happen before fetching 10 recent posts, because otherwise there's a possibility that none of them could have thumbnails and nothing will show.
Here's my code:
function add_before_my_siderbar() {
// get recent posts
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts();
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ) {
// Print recent posts
}
}
add_action( 'get_my_sb_widget', 'add_before_my_siderbar' ); | You can pass arguments to pass `meta_query` to your `wp_get_recent_posts()` function. `wp_get_recent_posts()` makes call for `get_posts()`, so you can make use of all the arguments `get_posts()` or `WP_Query` uses. As per your need.
$args= array(
'meta_query' => array(array('key' => '_thumbnail_id'))
);
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts($args);

Which file is the theme index page?
I'm new to wordpress, and I want to edit the **homepage** of a theme. I just could not find out which file should I be editing with. I've tried to remove _page.php_ , _index.php_ , _single.php_ under /wp-content/themes/mytheme, but my site is still working after I removed all these files, so which file is the theme actually using as the homepage?
I'm using wordpress 4.8, wooCommerce 3.1
I'm using **Rosa** theme, and the files listed under the theme root are these, index.php, page.php, single.php, sidebar.php, functions.php, footer.php, comments.php header.php | The homepage template depends on two things:
1. What the "Front page displays" setting has been set to.

How to remove function?
I'm trying to remove a function that is defined in my parent theme but can't get it to work. The function I want to remove prints previous/next post navigation.
Here's the function:
add_action( 'generate_after_entry_content', 'generate_footer_meta' );
function generate_footer_meta()
{
if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
<footer class="entry-meta">
<?php generate_entry_meta(); ?>
<?php if ( is_single() ) generate_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>
</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
<?php endif;
}
I'm using the `remove_action( );` function but I'm not sure which action hook to use.
Here's the code I'm using:
function remove_nav_links() {
remove_action( 'generate_after_entry_content', 'generate_footer_meta' );
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'remove_nav_links' );
I've tried a few different action hooks including `wp_footer` but none have worked. | Essentially you want to remove this _after_ it had been added, but _before_ that hook fires. Which is hard to tell in general without knowing _when_ does the parent theme executes this.
Also in often confusing way `functions.php` of child theme is loaded _before_ that of parent theme. Often makes timing of things counter–intuitive.
The very _general_ practice is that you wait until `init` hook to run any logic, other than strictly related to the load process. So my _guess_ would be on/around `init`, but really you should figure out when is it added and decide based on that. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to add content to the end of a page with a hook?
I would like to add content to the end of this page (below the form), immediately before the footer. Can I do this with a custom function, via a hook? Adding the content to the WordPress editor does not insert it at the bottom of the page as desired.
I've tried two different custom functions, but they each placed the content in an undesired location (illustration):
\-- I tried using the `wp_footer()` hook, but that placed the content at the end of my footer.
\-- I tried appending content using `the_content()` hook, with the code below, but that did not place the content where I wanted.
function yourprefix_add_to_content( $content ) {
$content .= 'Your new content here';
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'yourprefix_add_to_content' );
I _can_ accomplish this by directly editing template, but I would rather not do that. | Unless that template that you don't want to edit has a `do_action()` function where you want to add the content, then no, you can't. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

display a div on ervery site but not frontpage?
i want to display a div on every single page, but not on the frontpage. For that i used the following code in the functions.php

'<div class="button-kontakt"> <a href="/kontakt"><p>ANFRAGE</p></a></div>';

Tom | You need to tell the PHP to echo the div.
`if (! is_front_page()) : echo '<div class="button-kontakt"> <a href="/kontakt"><p>ANFRAGE</p></a></div>'; endif;`
Unless you just want it on the top of the page, you need to add that code to a template file, not the functions file. If it is something that appears at the bottom of every page except the homepage, putting it in footer.php may be applicable.

How to get different homepage layout, based on the URL and customizer
Not sure If my question is clear enough. I want to show different layout of the index.php, based on the URL and customizer settings. I see this format in some themes:
demo.website.com/theme/?home_layout=standard
For me it looks like it's a GET request, and based on this request different layout is loaded.
For example, I want to set layout to masonry in customizer and it should change the look of the homepage and the URL should be
demo.website.com/theme/?home_layout=masonry
If I switch to standard layout in customizer then I get this URL
demo.website.com/theme/?home_layout=standard
How to achieve this? | For those who wants to achieve the same, here is the answer: First we declare a variable with a simple condition to hold our GET request, if the value is not set than we define default value.
$layout = isset( $_GET['home_layout'] ) ? $_GET['home_layout'] : 'standard';
Then simply check the condition and load the template you want.

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
In `template-parts/post-thumbnail.php` I'm trying to display the title and permalink, but it's always showing the title and link of the current page. Never of the actual post. | Your problem is that the variable passed to `setup_postdata()` _must_ be the global `$post` variable, like this:
// Reference global $post variable.
global $post;
// Get posts.
$posts = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_count' => 4
));
// Set global post variable to first post.

// Setup post data.
setup_postdata( $post );
// Output template part.
get_template_part( 'template-parts/post-thumbnail' );
// Reset post data.

I have a simple test plugin - a folder called `tester` containing a file called `tester.php` that contains only this:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: My tester
*/
?>
I have a copy of WordPress running locally on my Mac. When the plugin is in the plugins directory it appears in the Admin list of plugins.
When I move the plugin directory elsewhere and symlink to it, it doesn't show up.
I've done similar with a theme, and WordPress happily uses that. From what I've read this should now work with plugins too. Am I missing something?
(WordPress 4.8) | What have you done to add the symlink?
In using VVV I am able to symlink using your plugin tester code:
# ssh into vagrant
$ vagrant ssh
# create symlink
$ sudo ln -s /srv/www/wordpress-default/wp-content/testing-dir/tester /srv/www/wordpress-default/wp-content/plugins/tester | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How does translation (gettext) work for translating config file of plugin?
I am doing translation of my plugin. I am using `__` & `_e` in php files. But can't figure out how to do same for config file that contains constants added using define(name, value)? Does it automatically get translated using Wordpress translation dictionary once plugin adds code for loading text-domain? Also, Do I need to use add text domain compulsorily or will Wordpress's translator will translate it even then? | WordPress doesn't automatically translate anything, you need to use the `__` and `_e` functions, even in your config file, if you want it to be translateable.

How do I edit the <title> tag without using the deprecated `wp_title()` function?
How do I edit the tag without using the deprecated `wp_title()` function? I need to add a microdata parameter - `itemprop="name"` -, as seen in the example below:
<head itemscope itemtype="
<title itemprop="name">Your WebSite Name</title>
<link rel="canonical" href=" itemprop="url">
The is injected using theme support.
**Note 1:** All the custom hooks provided by WordPress allow for title content manipulation only, not the tag itself.
**Note 2:** This is not a duplicate of Custom attribute for the title tag with wp_title() as the accepted answer does not function anymore. | It looks like _wp_render_title_tag() method is what outputs the tag, and the source code in 4.8 is available here: <
You can see:
echo '<title>' . wp_get_document_title() . '</title>' . "\n";
You could first remove the action from wp_head:
remove_action( 'wp_head', '_wp_render_title_tag', 1 );
Then add your own title render method:
add_action( 'wp_head', '_wp_render_title_tag_itemprop', 1 );
function _wp_render_title_tag_itemprop() {
if ( did_action( 'wp_head' ) || doing_action( 'wp_head' ) ) {

Ensuring a plugin is loaded/run last?
How can you ensure a given plugin is run _last_ before the page finishes rendering?
Can it be ensured?
Specifically, I am writing a plugin that I want to post-process all content of a given post/page (after any formatting, extra links, ad injections, etc). The rest of the blog doesn't need to be processed - just posts & pages. | You'll want to hook into "the_content" filter at a very high priority. Example:
function my_alter_the_content( $content ) {
if ( in_array( get_post_type(), array( 'post', 'page' ) ) ) {
// Do stuff here for posts and pages
}
return $content;
}
add_action( 'the_content', 'my_alter_the_content', PHP_INT_MAX
);
Using the PHP_INT_MAX constant for the hook priority you can ensure it runs as last as possible (most plugins/themes will just use the default priority of 10).
The issue is when you say "after all ad injections...etc" that really depends how things are being added. Because if there are ads being added via javascript then of course the only way to override it would be via javascript. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to change text widget title h2 to h1

This is my function.php file
function home_consultation_init() {

"name" => "Home Consulatation",
"id" => "home_consult",
"before_widget" => "",
"after_widget" => "",
"before-title" => "",

"id" => "home_consult",
"before_widget" => "",
"after_widget" => "",
"before_title" => "",
"after_title" => ""

"id" => "home_consult",
"before_widget" => "",
"after_widget" => "",

How to get URL of current page displayed?
I want to add custom PHP code to ensure that whenever a page on my site loads in my browser, the URL of that page is echoed to the screen. I can use `echo get_permalink()`, but that does not work on all pages. Some pages (e.g. my homepage) display several posts, and if I use `get_permalink()` on these pages, the URL of the displayed page is not returned (I believe it returns the URL of the last post in the loop). For these pages, how can I return the URL?
Can I attach `get_permalink()` to a particular hook that fires before the loop is executed? Or can I somehow break out of the loop, or reset it once it is complete?
Thanks. | `get_permalink()` is only really useful for single pages and posts, and only works inside the loop.
The simplest way I've seen is this:
global $wp;
echo home_url( $wp->request )
`$wp->request` includes the path part of the URL, eg. `/path/to/page` and `home_url()` outputs the URL in Settings > General, but you can append a path to it, so we're appending the request path to the home URL in this code.
Note that this probably won't work with Permalinks set to Plain, and will leave off query strings (the `?foo=bar` part of the URL).
To get the URL when permalinks are set to plain you can use `$wp->query_vars` instead, by passing it to `add_query_arg()`:
global $wp;
echo add_query_arg( $wp->query_vars, home_url() );
And you could combine these two methods to get the current URL, including the query string, regardless of permalink settings:
global $wp;
echo add_query_arg( $wp->query_vars, home_url( $wp->request ) ); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I want to load a pre-built php page (and assocated scripts/styles/directories) as the front page. How do I go about this?
I've pre-built a front page for WordPress using PHP, JS, CSS and resources found in other files. The whole page setup is 23 files (1 .php, 1 .js, 2 .css, 2 .otf, 17 .svg/.png/.gif) and 2 folders.
Essentially I want to override the default front page with this new one that I've made. It needs to remain as files, so having it as a static page won't work. I want to avoid turning it into a theme at all costs, because it's really not necessary.
How shall I go about completing this? | As shown in the template hierarchy image from the documentation, you can name your `.php` file as `front-page.php`or `home.php`.
> By default, WordPress sets your site’s home page to display your latest blog posts. This page is called the blog posts index. You can also set your blog posts to display on a separate static page. The template file home.php is used to render the blog posts index, whether it is being used as the front page or on separate static page. If home.php does not exist, WordPress will use index.php.

> 1. home.php
> 2. index.php

Will post_exists work for draft posts?
Can i check if a post with the title "great title" exists even if this post status is set to "draft" with the function: `post_exists("great title")` ? | Yes, as `post_exists("great title")` runs the following SQL:
SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_title = 'great title'
so there's no _post status_ or _post type_ restriction.
Check the docs on `post_exists()` for more info.
If you want to restrict by _post type_ , you can use:
$found_page = get_page_by_title( "great title", $output = OBJECT, $post_type = 'page' );

What is the proper hook to use for recording a post view?
I'm creating a script for tracking post views in my future projects. I will use this code in my theme's `functions.php`.
What I'm asking is, how can I make sure a post view is recorded when a user actually hits the page?
I considered hooking into `init` or `wp`, but I'm not sure using the REST API and Ajax actions will also trigger a hit (which I want it to).
Is it possible? | Since it appears you want to track each kind of page view (which is what Google Analytics would do for you if you don't want to roll your own), then create a function that will use the current page-type, or even any type of page.
A function like (rough code)
function record_view($pagetype = 'post') { // function with default value
switch ($pagetype ) {
case "post":
//do something
break;
case "page":
// do something for a pge
break;
// add additional cases for whatever you are trackin
case default:
// do something if not any of the above types
break;
}
return;
}
See this page in the Codex for info about page types: < .
Then put a call for the function in the template of the various page types
record_view('post'); // this on the single post template
That might get you started, if I understand your question and comments correctly.

How to disable a specific page for a specific user
For say, I have this page
>
I want to disable this page for the username `remo`.
How can I do this? | There is a global variable containing the current page in the admin area, called `$pagenow`. You can use this to detect where the user is now.
Now, in your case, you are on `admin.php` and there are 3 parameters set in the URL, `page`, `delete` and `id`. So:
if(
in_array( $pagenow, array('admin.php') ) &&
( $_GET['page'] == 'wpProQuiz' && $_GET['action'] == 'delete' && $_GET['id'] == '1' )
) {
// Now check the current user
$user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( $user->user_login == 'remo' ) {
wp_safe_redirect( admin_url() );
exit();
}
}
