Display custom fields on post excerpt or teaser
I have a custom Post Type I've created, and it also has some custom fields I created. For full disclosure, I used the Pods framework to do this.
The Post Type can be tagged using a custom taxonomy. When I visit the tag page for a given term in the taxonomy, e.g. `mysite.com/my_taxonomy/term`, the posts of Post Type show up as expected in an excerpt / teaser type of display.
What I would like to accomplish is to add my custom fields to this view. Right now the only field that shows up is the title, author, and date (there is no 'body' field). How can I add my custom fields to show up on this excerpt / teaser view of the content? | The way to retreive some meta data is knowing the name of the custom field, for my example I will use: listing, property and address; normally this can be done after **while (have_posts()) : the_post();**
$listing = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'listing', true);
$property = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'property', true);
$address = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'address', true);
then you can print the output like **echo $listing;** according your needs. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I load 2 random pages?
My problem is quite simple: I want to show a different page each time a visitor comes to my page. There are 2 pages for now, but it could be more. I have found this code:
$rand = rand(1,2);
switch($rand){
case 1:
get_template_part('template1');
break;
case 2:
get_template_part('template2');
break;
}
but I don't want template parts, I really need to make it go through 2 (or more) complete pages I can define by URL or slug. Or it could be posts as well, as long as I can make them completely different (this is for multivariate testing of completely different pages which include some user interaction I want to measure)
**How can I achieve this?** | You can redirect users from home page to random page with this code (paste it to your functions.php)
function my_homepage_redirect() {
if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ){
$page = get_posts( [
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'category' => 1, // your category ID
'orderby' => 'rand',
'fields' => 'ids'
] );
if ( empty( $page ) ){
return;
}
wp_redirect( get_permalink( $page[0] ) );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_homepage_redirect' );

How to replace wp-admin login page to another location?
// This will replace the login url
add_filter( 'login_url', 'custom_login_url', 10, 2 );
function custom_login_url( $login_url=' $redirect=' )
{
// Set your $login_page_id
return get_permalink(207);
} | if you dont want to add plugin
* First of all, To be safe than sorry take a backup of wp-login.php and store in a safe place just in case of any wrong step.
All you need is access to your site’s files and should have a text editor (I’m using VS Code). Now choose your ideal login UR, for example, /newlogin.php
Go to your public_html directory where you can find wp-login.php. You can open it
Once you find, Name this file whatever you want your login URL to be. In this case, I named it newlogin.php.
Next, open up the newlogin.php and find and replace every instance of "wp-login.php" in the file – then replace it with your new file name as newlogin.php
Now you should be able to log in by navigating to your new URL. In my case, it’s localhost/wp/newlogin.php. If any HTTP requests to the /wp-login.php, or /wp-admin directories will lead visitors to a 404 not-found page. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to Redirect huge numbers of URLs to another URLs?
I am going to move from Blogger to WordPress and I also don't want to set earlier Blogger Permalink structure in WordPress. Now I want to know if there is any way to redirect URLs as mentioned below.
Current (In Blogger):
After (In WordPress):
That means I want to remove my Blogger's year & month from URL from numbers of indexed URL and redirect them to WordPress generated new URLs. | If `/seba-online-form-fill-up-2018.html` is an actual WordPress URL then this is relatively trivial to do in `.htaccess`. For example, the following one-liner using mod_rewrite could be used. This should be placed _before_ the existing WordPress directives in `.htaccess`:
RewriteRule ^\d{4}/\d{1,2}/(.+\.html)$ /$1 [R=302,L]
This redirects a URL of the form `/NNNN/NN/<anything>.html` to `/<anything>.html`. Where `N` is a digit 0-9 and the month (`NN`) can be either 1 or 2 digits. If your Blogger URLs always have a 2 digit month, then change `\d{1,2}` to `\d\d`.
The `$1` in the _substitution_ is a backreference to the captured group in the `RewriteRule` _pattern_. ie. `(.+\.html)`.
Note that this is a 302 (temporary) redirect. You should change this to 301 (permanent) only when you have confirmed this is working OK. (301s are cached hard by the browser so can make testing problematic.) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Admin access to Wordpress site with installing plugin
Third party Wordpress dashboard tools like ManageWP or InfiniteWP have access to entire Wordpress site by installing theirs plugin on that site. This way they have admin access to my Wordpress site so they can update plugins, do site backup etc. **How this is possible and is it safe?**
I know that I can access Wordpress with XML-RPC but then I will need to supply administrator credentials. | It's safe if a) the management interface is only accessible by trusted users and b) there are no bugs. You can take care of a), but you'll have to trust them for b).
How it's done: they send you to a special URL on your live site and pass a signature by which the plugin on the site can tell that this request has been triggered by the management interface, then set the same session cookies WP would set if you logged in regularly, and finally they'll simply redirect you to the admin dashboard. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it possible to select and edit the way the most recent post from a certain category is displayed on the page?
To explain... I have a loop that is getting the posts from a few different categories and for one category, I want to change the link that gets wrapped around the title.
For example:
I have 3 posts from the category "Events", I want the first 2 Events posts to link to their specific page and I want the latest, event #3, to link to a different page on the website (NOT the individual post's page like event #1 & 2).
So in the loop, I have something along the lines of:
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink();?>"><h1>Title</h1></a>
And I want to change switch 'echo get_permalink' to '/events/signup' the latest Events posting at the same time, keeping 'echo get_permalink' for all the other category posts in the loop.
What's the best way to approach this? | You can retrieve the index of the post in the loop with `$wp_query->current_post`. From that, you can check with a simple if-statement:
/*Check if post index is 2 (you referred to the 3rd post, given indexing starts from 0, the 3rd post index would be 2 */
if ( $wp_query->current_post == 2 ) :
/* Do something */
else:

How to dequeue theme's RTL stylesheet?
I'm developing a plugin that has its own templates to render the page. This includes header, content, footer, etc.
Therefore I have to dequeue every other style added by either theme or plugins, in order to keep the page clean. Right now I'm using this piece of code:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_all_styles', 1000 );
function remove_all_styles() {
global $wp_styles;
$wp_styles->queue = array();
}
It almost does what I want. This dequeues every CSS file, except the theme's `rtl.css`. I'm using the default Twenty Seventeen theme.
How can I achieve this? | RTL stylesheet is not loaded with `wp_enqueue_style()` so it wouldn't appear in global `$wp_styles` variable. Wordpress loads it with `get_locale_stylesheet()` function. You can remove loading locale scripts completely:
function abort_loading_rtl_stylesheet() {
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'locale_stylesheet' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'abort_loading_rtl_stylesheet' );
or filter its output to load your custom rtl stylesheet:
function override_default_rtl_styles(){
return 'path/to/custom/rtl.css';
}
add_filter( 'locale_stylesheet_uri', 'override_default_rtl_styles', 1000 );
I hope that's what you're looking for, cheers! | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can i legally remove a credit from a free plugin on wordpress.org?

You can even redistribute your modified version, as long as you do so under the GPL and adhere to its requirements.
That said, even if it wasn't, I believe you would be allowed to add CSS, since you are not even modifying the plugin in any way. I personally would look for a way to actually remove that link from the output, though, not just via CSS. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WooCommerce doesn't show UK countries in the shipping options
For some reasons, when I’m on the front-end, in the cart page, I cannot find any countries in the UK for the shipping estimation. No England, no Ireland, etc. But I got pretty much every other countries in the world. I haven’t put anywhere that I don’t want to ship to UK.
The selling point is set to “Sell to all countries”.
Other than that, is there any reason this can happen? I am using a plugin called “WooCommerce Shipping Per Product v2”, to handle shipping pricing per products, but the only thing I do is setting the price per regions, and I cannot modify regions in the system so, this shouldn’t be an issue.
I know there's the WooCommerce plugin forum, but nobody is responding to my question there. I would really appreciate if someone here could help me with that issue.
Thank you very much in advance | You won't be able to find England specifically in their list. The UK treats several areas as separate countries, and other regions can only be separated by postal code.
* United Kingdom
* Republic of Ireland
* Jersey
* Guernsey
* Isle of Man
<
I should also mention that the "Sell to countries..." field controls the Billing side of the form. There is still an option of countries you "Ship to", and this alters the countries in the Shipping form (or the Billing form if you are shipping to the billing address). Make sure you haven't narrowed down that list without United Kingdom being list.
And lastly, it is possible to modify the countries and regions through filters. Go to the General tab of your WooCommerce settings page and try to modify the Sell to or Ship to settings. If you cannot find the UK in that list either, then it's been removed through its filter. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

how to execute some code after a post is published in Wordpress
I have written a simple code to do something after a post is updated or published (its related to the varnish purge). I put my code inside post.php file.

Replace dynamically content in a custom database table when a custom post is created
I use a third party plugin that saves events locations addresses as a custom _locations_ post type in a separate table - _wp_em_locations_.
Because events are created by multiple authors, they write sometimes differently the name of the same town, using different languages. **How can I filter dynamically that names when the post is created and replace them with a default one?**
For example, the Kiev town name can be written as Kiev, Киев, Kyiv and Київ, but I want to save only one of them. Town names are saved in the _location_town_ column. | This is something that creates one common question for all **SW engineers**. How you can do this “guide the user to select” and also “provide the capability” so the user can add their own data. Well, there is **not an easy way to do it**. You can try different technics like live searching, recommendation for the input and all short of miracles but the end result will always be dictated by the user.
If you restricted to the user role if not high enough will be only allowed to add preexisting “towns” this can solve few miswrites but will have a significant drawback which is the review process or the request to add this user-defined inputs.
I would suggest allowing the users input after the couldn’t find the “town from the list”. The “darker” path will be creating mapper for all towns and cross-checking to the user input. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Woocommerce: How to override core functions in functions.php?
Is there a way to override woocommerce core functions in functions.php ?
for example file location in: wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-order-item-shipping.php
there is a following public function
public function set_method_title( $value ) {
$this->set_prop( 'name', wc_clean($value) );
$this->set_prop( 'method_title', wc_clean($value) );
}
How to change it to this:
public function set_method_title( $value ) {
$this->set_prop( 'name', $value );
$this->set_prop( 'method_title', $value );
} | You can't replace just any plugin function with your own code, _unless_ :
1. The plugin is wrapped in a `function_exists()` check. This makes the function _pluggable_ , which means that if you define it first the plugin won't try to define it again, and yours will be used. This function is not pluggable.
2. There is a filter somewhere, indicated by the use of the `apply_filters()` function, that lets you replace a value. That value might be the output of a function, and by using the filter you could replace the output with your own.
The specific function you identify does not have either, so cannot be replaced. I'd consider that WooCommerce probably has a very good reason for applying `wc_clean()` to these properties, and if it weren't there things might not function as expected, or it could pose a security risk. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Set the value of custom field when post is published or updated

I have also used if (is_home() || is_front_page() ) but I get the same result.

dynamic name of the style for wp_enqueue_style

$name="mystyle";
wp_enqueue_style($name .'-style', ABS_URL . /includes/box.css' , false ); | this syntax doesn't seem right to me.
First of all what is `ABS_URL`? If it's a constant that you've defined earlier, then there is an `'` missing before `/includes/box.css'`. The code should look like this:
$name = 'mystyle';
wp_enqueue_style( $name .'-style', ABS_URL . '/includes/box.css', false );
It works as it should, the output is: `<link rel='stylesheet' id='mystyle-style-css' href='whatever-there-is-in-ABS_URL-constant' type='text/css' media='all' />`
Also, make sure if you need to define this constant at all - if you want to load stylesheet from your theme's folder or its subfolders, use `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()` function:
$name = 'mystyle';

How can i remove blank area caused by theme's post meta boxes?
I have a problem with my theme's post screen metaboxes. When i add new portfolio items, there is some meta boxes which i dont need to use in my post screen.

Check if the value of a field has changed on save_post
I have a custom post type where the user can set a video 'url' custom field. I need to download meta-data about the video (e.g. title, description, thumbnail) and store it along with the rest of the post's data.
Since downloading this data can be a bit long, I'd like to do this only when it's necessary, i.e. when the 'url' field has changed.
Is there a way to check whether a field's value has changed on `save_post` ? | Usually there is no way to check if the meta data is updated or not, but you can use `updated_postmeta` and `added_post_meta` to get kinda similar functionality. Please have a look at the below code-
add_action( 'updated_postmeta', 'the_dramatist_updated_postmeta', 10, 4 );
add_action( 'added_post_meta', 'the_dramatist_updated_postmeta', 10, 4 );
function the_dramatist_updated_postmeta(
$meta_id,
$object_id,
$meta_key,
$meta_value
) {
// check meta key with $meta_key parameter
if ( 'your_meta_key' !== $meta_key ) {
return;
}
// better check with the exiting data with the $meta_value to check if the data is updated or not.
// then do what you want to do with the data

How to compare a date in custom field with today's date in custom WP_Query?

What's the _wp_desired_post_slug value for?

I did found 2 entries with the blog `meta_value` under the `*_wp_desired_post_slug*` meta_key. What are these values supposed to be for? | See this line in WordPress core.
**Explanation:** When you move a post to the trash, `_wp_desired_post_slug` holds the slug that was desired for that post (now in the trash); i.e., when you move a post to the trash, WordPress suffixes the old slug so that it becomes available again, but it remembers the slug that you desired, just in case you decide to move it out of the trash and restore it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to upload all media to one folder, with no year/month subfolders

Debugging slow Wordpress Theme Customizer (Any option similar to Query Monitor)?

Wordpress Redirects When a Query String Contains a Number
I have a URL query string containing a number and it redirects and gives a 404 error as the page does not exist. If I change the value of the parameter to characters it works. I'm guessing it's something to do with wordpress pagenation.

How to use index.php as a template for archives?
My archive pages are very much like my home page, except of course for the posts that are loaded. But design-wise, they're practically identical. So I would like to use index.php for both my homepage and my archive pages. How do I do that?
I know I could copy the code in `index.php`, paste it in `archive.php` and use
`/* Template Name: Archive */`
but I'd rather use one file so that if I need to change something, I can change it in one place only.
I also know (or at least, I think), if there's no `archive.php` Wordpress will automatically look for `index.php`, but the problem is I'm in a child theme, so it will go looking for the parent theme's `archive.php`, which is not okay because I do have and need an `archive.php` there.
So how can I explicitly tell Wordpress to look for `index.php` when an archive page is requested? | I haven't tested this but in your archive.php file in the child theme use the following command to output the index.php file contents.
<?php
get_template_part( 'index' );
?>

function archive_home_page_template( $template ) {
if ( is_archive() OR is_front_page() ) {

WordPress Scheduled Event Request Blocking
This is a question about WordPress architecture, that I wasn't able to fully understand by reading WordPress documentation.
I have a scheduled event that can take more than 1 minute to finish because it's a heavy stored procedure that create a few caches on my database.
As far as I know, scheduled events in WordPress (`wp_schedule_event`) are triggered only when a request is made on the website. So, I imagine that if I schedule this event to run every day at 3:00 AM (which is the less crowded hour of my website) it'll trigger after 3:00 AM on the first request and it can happen a few minutes after this time if nobody is visiting it. Am I right?
Still, if I'm right, let's say a user opens my website at 3:01 AM and it triggers my scheduled event... will this user have to wait 1 minute until it ends so the website is loaded? Or this scheduled event happens in a thread? | Yes, WP Cron won't run if nobody visits your site. You can also run into the PHP execution time limits
There are ways to mitigate this however:
* Manually ping the cron URLs via a real cron job using curl
* Run cron via WP CLI on a real cron job, letting cron jobs run arbitrarily
* Use a job manager plugin such as cavalcade to manage cron tasks | stackexchange-wordpress | {

// then the content should not show.

How to use REST API to send user metadata?
I'm developing a Wordpress 4.8 site using Angular in a custom theme and needing to save data from my registration Angular model to the Wordpress API for server side storage in the database.

I'm at the point where I need to send data to the WP REST API but need guidance in terms of which endpoint(s) to use for proper storage of this custom data? Fields are over and above typical user metadata and will also need to know which endpoint to use in sending payment data through the REST API.
Should custom endpoints be created to handle the registration and payment processes? If so, does Wordpress have a designated database table structure and the ability to extend the API to handle these use cases? | _I'm not a WP API expert._
It sounds like you want to store more information than the API supports, so you will need to add an endpoint - <
If you are doing payment processing, I assume you are using a service or plugin + service for that, so you may want your custom endpoints to interact with those DB structures that the plugin creates. (maybe you are using < for instance?)
In addition to that, you probably want to update something else on your site, like what they purchased, or what abilities they have now that they have purchased it. So that might mean more endpoints and more DB structures.
\--
Wordpress does not have API endpoints that save/load data (like parse or something would.) So you would need to create that by hand. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Avoid taxonomy-%term%.php if more than one taxonomy

One of the taxonomies has a `taxonomy-%term%.php` template file.

but `/?topic=the_topic&country=the_country` uses the country taxonomy template as well.

Custom post_types & taxonomies have an option to "rewrite" the urls. In this case, the same url parameters that are filtering the taxonomy archives were sometimes colliding with this url-schema and causing unwanted results.
The simple answer would be to disable rewriting the urls of the problem taxonomies.

>
> Why is the Database password the same?

> When I reset the password for the database username it made my main domain crash?
It sounds like you created a single MySQL user which is allowed to access both `maindomain` and `subdomain` databases. When you change the MySQL user password, you need to update the password in any `wp-config.php` files where that user is set.

Based on your description, it sounds like you just need to update the password in the `wp-config.php` on your `maindomain` site. It is possible to make your `maindomain` and `subdomain` sites point to the same database but you would do that by setting the `DB_NAME` define and `$table_prefix` variable exactly the same. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Redirect user if it's not logged in
can you help me with little problem.
I need to find a solution, how to redirect user to login page when he wants to download file over link in post content, so, I have some files and I want them to be available only for users that are logged in, otherwise they should be redirected on login page, for example I want to forbid access (download) for all files from wp-content folder, keep in mind that I have several of those folders in the root, I tried with `.htaccess` file file but its not working
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !hotlink\.(gif|png|jpg|doc|xls|pdf|html|htm|xlsx|docx|mp4|mov) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*wordpress_logged_in.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|png|jpg|doc|xls|pdf|html|htm|xlsx|docx|mp4|mov)$ [NC] | Thanks to Marcelo Henriques answer i figured out how to make this work with `.htaccess` file and here is the code:

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^.*(mp3|m4a|pdf|doc|xlsx|docx|xls)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*wordpress_logged_in.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)
place .htaccess file in folder you want to protect from non registered users and it will do the job, last line is redirect.
So, if you want to protect file access over anchor link, from specific folder (uploads/media) make .htaccess file inside folder and paste this code. If you want just `403`(forbiden) change `RewriteRule (.*) with `[R=403,L]` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Theme showing incorrect update
We have a totally custom theme that we have built in house, recently the WordPress updater has started saying the theme is out of date.
![Update suggestion](
When I investigated this supposed update it links me to a similarly named theme in the WordPress theme directory but one that is not developed by us.
![Theme](
We normally update our themes manually either through the filesystem or FTP. We have never submitted our theme to the WordPress directory nor do we have a mechanism or infrastructure to allow our themes to "phone home" to check for updates.
What is going on here? How do I stop it misreporting the theme update? I really want to stop this behaviour to prevent an over eager customer trying to update the theme to this one and breaking their site. | When it comes to developing your own stuff, it is always the best to make the code yours too, not just the copyright and such.
As @Rarst already pointed out, the first thing to check if the theme's folder. I faced the same issue before and changing the theme's folder fixed the issue for me.
But for future goods, you should start prefixing your code. It means that you should prefix your theme's name, functions, classes, etc ... by your or your company's name. It's less likely if someone ever will publish a theme named `burgi-professional`, but a general name such as `professional` may exist anytime.
This also applies to class names and functions to. Prefix your functions like this:
function burgi_get_theme_options( ){ ... }
So there is a lower chance of running into such issues. Same goes for CSS classes, and HTML ID attributes. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Add the ability of changing background color of a theme

How to prevent plugins from being uninstalled
The following filter works great for preventing plugins from being deactivated...
`add_filter( 'plugin_action_links', 'disable_plugin_deactivation', 10, 4 )`;
with...
// array_key_exists( 'edit', $actions )...
// array_key_exists( 'deactivate', $actions )...
...But is there a similar filter or array_key, that prevents plugins from displaying their uninstall link on the plugins.php file?
Thanks | Yes, you can use the same filter, just remove the `delete` key of the $actions array. If you want to remove the "delete" link for the plugin "myplugin", you'd go for something like this:
add_filter("plugin_action_links", function($actions, $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $context) {
if($plugin_file == "myplugin/myplugin.php") {
unset($actions["delete"]);
}
return $actions;
}, 10, 4);
Obviously, you cannot put this into the plugin itself, since it will have been deactivated or the delete link will not show up (link to deactivate the plugin will be in its place). Also, be aware that this will only remove the link, it will not stop a determined user with the appropriate privileges from sending that request manually. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it possible to change a term slug before being saved to the database?

Root Category
|-- Child Category
|-- **Non-Unique Category**
Next Category
|-- Next Level
|-- **Non-Unique Category**
Another Category
|-- **Non-Unique Category**
The problem we have found when creating categories is that the Slugs are unique. In our use-case, the slug doesn't get used in a URL so it could be a GUID for all we care, according to WordPress it just has to be unique.
If the slug is not unique WordPress throws an error saying that same name exists already. **How can we use a filter/action to change the term slug value before it commits to the database?**

How do I skip wordpress's 404 handling?
I want to extend my website in a way that is parallel to the wordpress theme.
Example:
My website with wordpress is at: `www.mywebsite.com` By ftp I added a directory named `test`, in which there is a php file `test.php`
The problem is that if I write in the url: `www.mywebsite.com/test/test.php` it redirects me to the "page not found" of my theme.

Hook on slug generator
I'd like to change the slug that is automatically generated when creating a post.
:
add_filter("wp_unique_post_slug", function($slug, $post_ID, $post_status, $post_type, $post_parent, $original_slug) {
if($meta = get_post_meta($post_ID, "my-meta", true)) {
$slug = $meta . '-' . $slug;
}
return $slug;
}, 10, 6);
As this is applied at the end of that function and I believe WP expects and relies upon that slug to be unique, you will have to make sure that it is.

Best Way to Change a String in a Wordpress Post
I have a date value inside a WordPress post's content that I need to be replaced every day with the current day.
The string looks like this: **2017-11-11 00:00**
I was thinking of building a simple PHP script that would access the MySql wp_posts and find/replace that string, then run the update SQL query to change the required value.
$pattern = '/201\d{1}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}\s00:00/';
$today = date("Y-m-d");
$replacement = "$today '00:00'";
$finalString = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $originalString);
The post content doesn't change so the regexp doesn't need to be more elaborated than this and also the hour:mins can remain 00:00

What is This esc_html_e() i wordpress php?
why do developers use
<?php esc_html_e() >?
in 404 pages, what does it mean, how does it works? | It's a combination of `_e()`, which echoes a translatable string, and `esc_html()` which is for outputting text so that the text is not interpreted as HTML.
You would use it to prevent HTML being smuggled into a translation and breaking your markup or causing security issues.
For example, if your theme had:
_e( 'My translatable string', 'my-text-domain' );
Then it's possible for a translation for `'My translatable string'` to be something like `'<script>alert('Bad!');</script>'`. If you don't use `esc_html_e()` then that script will be executed. If you use `esc_html_e()` then it won't be, because the `<` & `>` characters will be escaped as `<` & `>`, which out output as < and > and not interpreted as HTML tags. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Create unordered list from custom field type entires separated by a comma
I have a custom field type set up and need a way for a client to add a list of links that I can then output as a UL with each being an LI. I am hoping they can enter a comma separated list in the input and I can output the list with php where each value in between the commas can be separated out.![enter image description here](
or maybe it can be done if they put each link on a new line? Or maybe there is a better way to tackle this, it's my first attempt at using/creating custom post types. | If I understood you correctly, this should be pretty straight forward:
$rawcontent = get_field("myfield");
$rawcontent = preg_replace("!</?p[^>]*>!", "", $rawcontent); // remove <p>
$all_links = preg_split("/\s*,\s*/", $rawcontent);
foreach($all_links as $link) {
if(!trim($link)) continue;
print "<li>$link</li>";
}
A comma certainly would work, but note that this would break if you had commas inside the link text (`<a href="...">hello, world</a>`). You could easily alter the `preg_split` line to split on other things, though, like line breaks (`\n`). I'm not sure what the ACF editor inserts when you just press enter, but I'm sure that you can split it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Why does the blog page not take the page template selected?
I have a page template called `post-list.php`.
This template lists all the posts that I have created with the title, date, author and an excerpt. Now, to list the posts I have created a page called Blog and selected this newly create template(post-list).
Now I head over to the reading setting and select the Posts page as Blog. But it seems to have picked the `index.php` as the template and not the newly created one.
What am I missing? Any help highly appreciated! | Because the Blog Page isn't an Page for Wordpress, but a Listing, and Takes the "index.php" if there is no "home.php".

How to move wordpress website from hosting account to localhost
I'm getting 404 error while accessing relative paths on _Wordpress_ website copied from hosting and deployed locally as _Apache_ vhost.
Local website is basically _git clone_ of the existing remote website.
The following steps were performed to make it work:
* DB urls were searched and replaced with wp-cli to be <
* VHost configured according to apache documentation.
* _/etc/hosts_ modified.
So website can be accessed successfully via < Media in _< can be viewed successfully.
Though, accessing a _Wordrpess_ page identified by /relative path (relative to current domain/site) causes **"The requested URL /relative/ was not found on this server" error**.
I'm using the same . _htaccess_ from the remote _public_html_ folder.
How to achive equivalent to hosting behaviour for local vhost website?
Is _.htaccess, apache2_ configuration, _vhost_ configurations should be changed? | The solution was to allow using _.htaccess_ in _/etc/apache/apache2.conf_ by changing from `AllowOverride None` to `AllowOverride All`. More about it here

Migrating meta value to new meta value
There is a "_thumbnail_id" meta key for our logos and it has each value (Id) by post id.
However, we created a new logo field ( meta key = _logo) for logo image ids. We need to move meta value from "_thumbnail_id" to "_logo" in all posts.
I have searched and tested some. But there is a problem. Most of the posts have "_thumbnail_id". but posts don't have the new meta key (_logo) by the post ids. Because it's new one.
Do I need to add new meta value first in all post? ( _logo ) And then migrate the old one (_thumbnail_id) to the new one (_logo)?
How can I move the meta value to new one?
Thanks, | Back up your database first, then run this query in phpMyAdmin (or if you don't have phpMyAdmin, run the query out of `functions.php` on an admin hook using `$wpdb->query`):
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_key = '_logo' WHERE meta_key = '_thumbnail_id'

How run a non-WordPress PHP Program on a WordPress site?
I have a question similar to this one:
I have created a small PHP program that I want to call as a rest web service to return some data from custom MySQL tables.
I can put it anywhere, but I've tried the root folder (public_html), a folder I creatd called custom, and the cgi-bin folder.
For the first two, I get 404 not found. For the CGI-BIN it looks like it redirects to my home page.
I've set it with CHMOD to 755 (and the custom folder as well).

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

</IfModule>

Add custom field to admin area witthout using a metabox

Add a TinyMCE Core Plugin Using tiny_mce_before_init

$in['plugins'] .= ',advlist';

}
add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'my_format_TinyMCE' );
With this code, the default list buttons don't show up, but the Advanced List buttons don't show up either.

Can anyone let me know if I'm missing something..? | For those having this problem...
It's really rare... In most cases you will be missing something like `Stable Tag:` in your readme.txt file (it should be latest production-ready version).
You will also need to make sure, version is correct on your main plugin `.php` file header.
Also... version should be tagged to `tags/{your_version}` with `svn copy` for example, to tag version 5.2.0 from master we would want to do...
svn copy trunk tags/5.2.0
This should match `Stable tag:`
If al this is done and you have like waited for at least 10 hours... And still version ain't live (which is very rare), you can go ahead and do another commit with maybe just another line break to like ping WordPress again...
Do this only when everything above doesn't work and you have waited like 10 hours and do it only once because this is an expensive operation for wp.org servers...

wp.customize.control( 'header_image', function( control ) {
control.deferred.embedded.done( function() {
var el = control.container.find( '.customize-control-description' );
el.html( control.params.description );

And since it's not a special method to WordPress, they're never going to be called automatically by WordPress, so the plugin _would_ be calling them somewhere, you just haven't found it. If I had to guess, `theme_setup()` is a logical name for a method that might be being hooked to `after_theme_setup`, but there's no guarantee. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to override parent theme template files?
I'm trying to edit some template files located in my parent theme. I was able to successfully edit some of the template files but changes made to the other files did not take effect.
After saving the changes I cleared the cache and restarted my browser but I was still unable to get the changes to take effect.
The template files in question are not core Wordpress template files but are located in the root directory of the parent theme and were copied to the same location in the child theme. | Core WordPress templates (listed here) can be overwritten by placing them in the child theme (because WordPress itself loads them it knows to do it in a child theme friendly way). Any other template files your theme might be using can only be overwritten if they're included using the correct template functions, like `get_template_part()`, which will check child themes for files first. If the parent theme is using a generic `include` to include template files, you won't be able to replace them in a child theme. That's something you'd need to take up with the author | stackexchange-wordpress | {

wp_query not working with post_type
I have two machines: local and deployment.
On my local machine I have the code:
$all_prods = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'product',
);
dump(query_posts($all_prods));
The result I'm getting is my three products, that I've created earlier. But the same code on deployment machine returns an empty array despite of the website has many products in it.
I thought that somehow deployment machine has the other prefix for it's post type, than my local one, but when I type on deployment machine:
$prod = wc_get_product(440);
dump($prod);
I get **WC_Simple_Product** object with field **"post_type"** equal to **"product"**. How can I debug it? | I've found the solution.
$query = new WP_Query();
$all_prods = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'product',
);
$query = new WP_Query($all_prods);
echo $query->request . '<BR>';
The output was different on 2 machines, there was a problem with a multilanguage plugin that automatically added a second table and made inner join with it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Mixed content warning on doctype in admin
I'm getting a strange error on my live WordPress website. On the admin homepage, I'm getting a mixed content warning that points to the doctype. If I copy this entire website and database to my local machine, I'm unable to produce the error. It only occurs on the home page of wp-admin, and prevents other things from working - for example, when hovering over Posts or other links on the left-nav, I don't get the sub-navigation on hover - but if I right click, they appear.
The warning seems to point to itself:
`Mixed Content: The page at ' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script ' This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS`.
This error started to appear after upgrading to WordPress 4.9.
![WordPress Mixed Content Error]( | It turned out to be Wordfence causing the issue. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
