Custom CSS is not working?
I have put the following custom CSS in my WP site's additional CSS setting:-
.et_pb_row_2 {
height:100vh !important;
background-color: red !important;
}
.et_pb_section_2 {
height:100vh !important;
background-color: #ff0000 !important;
}
The classes are for a section and row that I created using the Divi theme. You can view this live here.
Am I missing something here? | There's no et_pb_row_2 classes being used on that page only et_pb_row_1. Same thing applies to the class et_pb_section_2. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Filtering a list of objects with 'OR' on the same field
I'm trying to use `wp_filter_object_list` to get tags with the slug (for example) "cat" OR "dog" from an array of tags.
My code looks like this:
$post_tags = wp_get_object_terms( $post_ids, 'post_tag' );
wp_filter_object_list( $post_tags, array('slug' => 'cat', 'slug' => 'dog'), 'or' );
I would expect this to return all tags with the slug "cat" or "dog", but it seems to only be returning the tag with "dog". If I switch the order, I only get "cat". How can I filter the list of tags for both? | the function `wp_filter_object_list` can only filter one value.
for your filter try that :
$post_tags = array_filter($post_tags, function ($e) {
return in_array($e->slug, ["dog", "cat"]);

Is using register_activation_hook required?
I'm building my first plugin and it's very basic. I created my `init` class that is used for enqueue styles.. etc. It also has the `register_activation_hook` and `register_deactivation_hook` hooks but I don't know what to do with those!
My question is this.. Put yourself in my position, that you want to create a basic plugin that adds small features like related posts, maybe some small widgets... etc, and you don't want to do anything on activation/deactivation or uninstall.. Would you..
* Remove those hooks?
* Keep the hooks and leave the callback functions empty or return null...?
* Do something else that any plugin should do when activate or deactivate or uninstall?
Thank you! | You don't have to use the `register_activation_hook` or `register_deactivation_hook` hook, they are optional. As their name suggests, they are hooks planned to run a task on plugin's activation/deactivation, such as updating the status of all users for some purpose.
So, if your plugin doesn't require such tasks, then simply don't use them. If you want to register new post types and taxonomies, you can use the `init` hook instead. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Change the user_login at registration
I use a third party plugin that adds Social Login option to my blog. It works very well, but I dislike that **when users choose to login by their social accounts** the user login names (`user_login` in database) are saved in this format - " _First-Second_ ", so the first letter of the each part are capitals. My own `user_login` will be "Iurie-Malai", but I would like "iurie-malai".
I know that WordPress usernames are case-insensitive, but I want that user logins to be only in lowercase. How can I do this? | You can hook into the `user_register` action hook and lower case the strings manually, by using the `wp_update_user` function. Here's a quick example:
add_action( 'user_register', 'callback_function', 10, 1 );
function callback_function( $user_id ) {
// Get the user by their ID
$user = get_user_by( 'id', $user_id );
// Update their user_login
wp_update_user(
array(
'ID' => $user_id,
'user_login' => strtolower( $user->user_login )
)
);
}
## Using the `pre_user_login` filter
You can use the above filter to filter the user's login before its added to the database, as follows:
add_filter( 'pre_user_login', 'callback_function' );
function callback_function( $login ) {
return strtolower( $login );

Customizer JS API: Adding a "dropdown-pages" control
What is a proper way to add a list of pages (`type: dropdown-pages`) using Customizer JS API?

type: 'dropdown-pages',
section: 'custom-section',
setting: new wp.customize.Setting( 'custom-control', '0' ),
label: 'Select Page'

If I change the type to, for example, `text` then the control is shown in the section. | You're right, that doesn't work… yet. We didn't add support for the `dropdown-pages` control in #30738 because we wanted to leverage the REST API for this control to fetch the pages. So in 4.9 this is the only base control that requires server-side rendering in core. However, in 4.9 it is easy to provide our own implementation of a content template for the `dropdown-pages` control.
I've written a standalone example plugin which includes control template for the `dropdown-pages` control type. With that template included, you can create controls in the same way you are doing here. Follow #42272 for upcoming core implementation.
Alternatively, you may want to consider the Customize Object Selector plugin, as it provides a control which uses Select2 to provide a searchable interface for selecting one or more pages. See example usage in the Customize Posts plugin. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

} ) );
When I try to save my changes, the Customizer shows an error: "Setting does not exist or is unrecognized." | Settings must be registered in PHP one way or another. If you don't register them statically via `$wp_customize->add_setting()` calls, you will have to register dynamic recognition of them via the `customize_dynamic_setting_args` filter. Why? In order for a setting to be safely stored it must be sanitized and validated by the server. Relying on client-side sanitization and validation is dangerous. Additionally, the Customizer setting is what gets persisted into the DB and actually applies a change to the site. This means that WordPress needs to know what a setting is for, how to preview it, and how to save it. So you may freely create settings in JS, but you must create a `customize_dynamic_setting_args` filter. You use this filter to match a given setting ID against a certain pattern you define. Examples of this can be found in core for widgets and nav menu items. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to send user data from one website to another

array(
'hexabexa' => 0
),
$atts
);
ob_start();
?>
<div class="newsletter <?php echo $atts['hexabexa'] == 1 ? 'newsletter2' : '' ?>">

<?php
return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode('some_function_bbb', 'some_function_bbb');
// Call it like [some_function_bbb hexabexa=1]

Strange custom post type issue
I previously had a custom post type called "Business" however the client needed this changed to "Listing", which I did (before we started adding a load of posts, luckily).

$i = 0;
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
echo $i++ . " ";
endwhile; endif;

I have visited and saved the permalinks page, so it's not that. Is this perhaps related to the name change of the custom post type early on, and if so, how do I resolve this at this late stage? | I suggest you to debug first that whether the loop is carrying all posts or not. You may use print_r() and die combination. If it carries all posts fine then you may move to further steps of debugging.
Add pagination code. Because, if your loop do have all the posts with it then probably due to no pagination, you are missing other posts.

How to replace values in Wordpress DB using phpMyAdmin
I am trying to save a value in a cg_option row/field using phpmyadmin, however data is not stored correctly and when loaded again after saving, only part of data appears. Do I need to use a conversion function within phpmyadmin?
The row is theme_mods_[theme-name]
This is a sample of data contained in the field:
`s:19:"thim_my_text_option" s:0:"" s:30:"thim_display_login_menu_mobile" b:0 s:25:"thim_body_secondary_color" s:7:"#4caf50" s:24:"thim_remove_query_string" b:0 s:21:"thim_google_analytics"` | The data is serialized.
In order to edit it, you need to unserialize it, edit, then serialize again, and save.
You can do that with PHP.
Check serialize and unserialize.

When changing pages to posts, how do you set up 301 redirects for the page URLs?
I recently found that an older, now disabled plugin that made scheduled posts was creating new posts as pages. I went into the database and changed `post_type` to `post`.
The urls then changed to the permalink structure I have for posts:
> <
Whereas the page URL was:
> <
My old page URLs, which were shared on social media already, are now generating 404 errors. Most tutorials I find online discuss setting up redirects when the permalink settings themselves are changed and the whole site is affected. I just want to mitigate these few page-to-post URLs. | If it's just a few pages, then you could set redirects explicitly for these pages in your .htaccess file (it's located in your WP install root folder), just add following lines on top of the file (you will need to write a rule for every page you want to redirect):
Redirect 301 /this-is-the-page /default-category/this-is-the-post
Redirect 301 /this-is-another-page /default-category/this-is-another-post
as you see the pattern is really simple:
Redirect 301 /old-page-path /new-page-path | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Limit search form to 4 custom post types only
I'm able to limit the search to one post type which works like a charm.
This code works: `<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="videos"/>`

How to display author meta in a sidebar widget
I am trying to display author meta data (username, email) in a custom sidebar widget and I cannot figure it out.
I can display the info on a template page (using php) just fine but that wont work for what I need. I have also figured out how to call the meta data by manually specifying the user id.

I had already tried the solutions posted but they did not work for me, most likely due to the theme I am using (TravelTour).

Multisite configuration for multiple domains
I have a multisite installation running fine with two sites. I can access both of them with no problems using the urls mydomain.com/site1 and mydomain.com/site2.
The problem is that I need to configure my site1 to be accessed from an url of another domain, ex: anotherdomain.com
How can I achieve this? I changed my site's URL on the Network dashboard to anotherdomain.com and it's dns pointing to mydomain.com. It didn't work, my main site is displayed. | WordPress supports **Domain Mapping**.
WordPress multisite subsites may be mapped to a non-network top-level domain. This means a site created as subsite1.networkdomain.com, can be mapped to show as domain.com. This also works for subdirectory sites, so networkdomain.com/subsite1 can also appear at domain.com. Before setting up domain mapping, make sure your network has been correctly set up, and subsites can be created without issues.
Before WordPress 4.5, domain mapping requires a domain mapping plugin like WordPress MU Domain Mapping.
In WordPress 4.5+, domain mapping is a native feature.

get_permalink() of page the enclosing page not posts
I have spent the last hour googling and trying different methods but nothing works the way I want it to.
Within the loop of the posts, I need to get the permalink of the main page.
## Example
You have a portfolio custom post type and then a page where you show all of your work `archive-portfolio.php`, I need to get the link to the main portfolio page/archive-page within the loop.
The latest I have tried is getting the ID of the page outside of the loop and setting it to a variable then calling it later on in the loop.
$page_id = get_the_ID();
but because i am using an `archive-{post-type}.php` it is not working, correctly.
Is there another solution other than changing over to `page-{template`} and implementing that method? | I think you need the `get_post_type_archive_link` function. It requires a post type as a parameter, but since you're already on the archive page you should be able to use it in combination with `get_post_type`, which gets the current post type by default:
$permalink = get_post_type_archive_link( get_post_type() );

Can I clone WP to another directory on the same server?
I want to do some changes on WP for a friend but I don't want to do it live. So I was thinking of cloning the current WP to another directory on the same server and then do work on that version (www.myfriendswp.com -> www.myfriendswp.com/testing) and, when done, clone the changes back to main directory.
Is this possible or will there be some problems? Most tutorials and plugins are talking about cloning to a different server. | I would recommend to clone it on a subdomain. Something like "testing.myfriendswp.com". I have tried this approach and it works fine. If you have a cpanel, you will see an option to create a subdomain in it. create a subdomain and point it to a folder inside public_html. So, for example, your subdomain "testing.myfriendswp.com" will be pointed to a directory "public_html/testing". Once you have the subdomain created:
1. copy the WP files from the main domain to subdomain
2. create a new database and import tables from the main DB to it.
3. set appropriate DB credentials in wp-config.php file
4. change the domain name in the wp-options table in the new DB.
5. boot up WP on the subdomain and refresh the permalink settings.
6. Run a search replace script on DB to replace main domain to the subdomain.
For extra security, add a robots.txt file on your subdomain to prevent the instance from being crawled by Search Engine Robots.

Getting rid of role="navigation" in the Home Page Pagination
For the Pagination on the front page ort the Homepage I am using this one →
<?php the_posts_pagination( array( 'mid_size' => 2 ) ); ?>
Codex Reference #1
Codex Reference #2
In the actual Browser, it generated a div like this →
<nav class="navigation pagination" role="navigation">
W3C Validation is throwing this error →
> Warning: The navigation role is unnecessary for element nav.
>
> From line 301, column 2; to line 301, column 54 `↩ <nav class="navigation pagination" role="navigation">↩ <h2`
**Question →**
Is there a method to get rid of this →
role="navigation" | `navigation` is the default value for `role` attribute in `nav` elements. So, if the browser/technology understands HTML5 and is fully standard compliant, then it is unnecessary, but what if not? I don't get the advantage of removing it; it just make sure that any technology reading the document knows what the element is used for.
Anyway, if you want to remove it, you can filter the navigation markup template:
add_filter( 'navigation_markup_template', 'cyb_navigation_template' );
function cyb_navigation_template( $template ) {
$template = '
<nav class="navigation %1$s">
<h2 class="screen-reader-text">%2$s</h2>
<div class="nav-links">%3$s</div>

Displaying POST content with HTML tags and all

Beside that, you have to use CSS to style every detail of the text, like to 'foresee' what the user will use. Create style for paragraph, headers, span, bold, italic, whatever you need. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress Logout Only If User Click Logout or If User Delete Browser History
This is the main requirements of my project.
After a user login, logout should be done only if user click logout button or if user delete browser history.
When browser closing, then machine restarting, changing IP address **should NOT logout the User**.
Is this possible with WordPress? Is there any filter, action hook? | You can use the `auth_cookie_expiration` filter to change the expiration time of the cookie WordPress sets to remember you. The user won't be logged out unless they change browser or clear their cookies (normally part of clearing history).
The problem is that you can't set a cookie to never expire, so you have to set a date in the far future. The furthest you can go is 19th January 2038, because of the Year 2038 problem.
The value of the `auth_cookie_expiration` filter is added to `time()` so if you want to set the longest possible time for the cookie, you need to get the maximum value (`2147483647` according to this) and subtract `time()`:
function wpse_287104_cookie_expiration( $length ) {
return time() - 2147483647;

Display tags for current post in sidebar
I'm looking for a way to list all the tags associated with the current post as a bulleted list in the sidebar, ideally with a CSS class for custom styling. All the plugins and code snippets I've found either display all tags site-wide, or display it as a tag cloud. My hunch is that it would involve calling `get_the_tag_list` outside of the loop somehow, but I'm a complete novice to WordPress development and am not sure how to get that working without guidance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much in advance,
Julian | You can use `get_the_tag_list()`, you just need to set the 4th argument, `$id` to `get_queried_object_id()` which gets the ID of the main queried post/page outside of the loop. You'll want to check `is_singlar()` too though, in case the queried object is a tag/category with the same ID as a post:
<?php
if ( is_singular() ) :
echo get_the_tag_list(
'<ul class="my-tags-list"><li>',
'</li><li>',
'</li></ul>',
get_queried_object_id()
);
endif;
?>
The first 3 arguments are the HTML before the list, separating each list item, and after the list. The configuration I have there wraps the whole thing in an unordered list and all items in list item tags. The list has the class `my-tags-list` that can be used for styling. You can change that to whatever you want. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to make a sticky footer?

bottom:0;
clear:both;
background-color:black;
color:white;
position:absolute;
}

`<div class="sticky-footer"> <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer"> <div class="site-info"> <?php /* translators: 1: Theme name, 2: Theme author. */ printf( esc_html__( 'Theme: %1$s by %2$s.', 'best' ), 'best', '<a href=" ); ?> </div><!-- .site-info --> </footer><!-- #colophon --> </div><!-- #page --> </div>`

Why deleting/removing cookies in WordPress does not log me out from admin?
I am really curious and I haven't found satisfactory answer in similar questions.
When deleting all of my cookies, I am still perfectly able to access my admin dashboard - why am I not returned back to login page and required to authenticate again? Why is it different in WordPress than in most other CMSs that deleting cookies still keeps my admin session valid somehow? Can someone explain to me in more details how and why this works this way?
To add additional explanation, when I clear cookies, top user/admin bar is no longer there (this is expected). However, if I directly access some wp-admin page (via bookmark, for example), then the bar is back and I can do anything I normally do as logged-in admin user.
Thank you | Well, for those who are curious, and to the best of my knowledge/investigation: it turns out this was a strange bug/issue of Chrome Portable* version 47* I was using on my older laptop. It does not happen in other browsers and regular Chrome installation.

Twenty Fourteen: Shrinking header while scrolling down
I am using the Twenty Fourteen theme. Normally the header has a heigth of 48 px. I made the logo bigger with the following code:

min-height: 108px;

Unfortunately I have insufficient experience to implement this function. Can someone help me please ? | Ok, Pradhana. This is going to be around about solution to your question, but the first thing that I believe that you would need to do is create a child theme. Go over to WordPress.org and do a little studying on how to create a child theme.
Then you'll have to add a javascript file that is referenced from the functions.php file in the child theme. Once you get to this point, then you can start experimenting with Jquery to adjust the height of your logo. I would do a specific search on using Jquery to adjust the height of your logo.
I just googled "jquery to resize header logo on scroll down." and got a nice list of options. Those jquery solutions is would go in the Javascript file that you add to your child theme. This should get you off into the right direction. Good luck! | stackexchange-wordpress | {

It will be slightly different depending on where the site is installed (VPS, shared host, ect.) Without more information I can't give you anymore than just the general steps that need to be taken. That said here they are.
Generally the steps are:
1) Install WordPress on your host.
2) Go to your DNS settings on your domain registrars dashboard and add an A record with the hostname set to the subdomain & address/value set to the IP address of the server WP is installed on. This tells clients which IP address to go to when they look up the domain name.
3) Configure your server software (Apache, Nginx, ect..) to serve up the site whenever mysite.website.com is requested.
You don't have to have the subdomain on the same server as you're main site. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I programmatically change a MySql variable (foreign_keys_check)?
I am creating custom tables from a plugin. Foreign keys are required. To be safe, I'm want turn off `foreign_keys_check` before issuing `maybe_create_table()`.
This codes is what I have to check variable's initial status, make the change and, and show the result:
echo $wpdb->query( "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%foreign%'" );
$wpdb->query( 'SET foreign_key_checks=0' );
echo $wpdb->query( "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%foreign%'" );
I expected the output to be `10` reflecting that the `SET` succeeded. Instead, I get `11` indicating the `foreign_key_checks` variable remains `true`.

Fetching latest posts from 2 different WP installations
I have three WordPress installations (cannot use multisite; cannot use RSS/Atom feeds) and I am trying to display a date-sorted list of the latest 10 posts from each of the two sub-sites on the main site home page. The site is organized thus:
<
<
<
These are three separate installations of WordPress, however sharing the same database (with different db prefixes, of course).
I have tried creating a loop calling the wp-load.php function, but I cannot seem to get it to reset; instead, the second iteration simply re-displays the posts from the first loop (in this case, from ./editorials/wp-load.php).
I have tried to place all the posts in separate arrays, for later combining and sorting by date, i.e., $content1 and $content2, but I haven't gotten that far since I cannot fetch posts from the second instance.
Here is code:
<
Thanks in advance! -Brian | I'd use the REST API to get the latest 10 posts from each install, then combine the two arrays, sort them by the date, and then only use the latest 10 results.
$editorials = wp_remote_get( ' );

$editorials = json_decode( $editorials[ 'body' ] );
$news = json_decode( $news[ 'body' ] );
$all = array_merge( $editorials, $news );
//* The spaceship operator requires PHP > 7.0
usort( $all, function( $a, $b ) { return $a->date <=> $b->date; } );
$all = array_slice( $all, 0, 10 );

WPCLI search and replace in a particlar site dir effect another site-dir
In /var/www/html I have a site dir. I've duplicated that site's dir and db into a new site dir and db by the name of "test" (without quote marks), and changed `wp-config.php` accordingly.
I Navigated into this new site dir in console (`cd /var/www/html/test`), and ran:
wp search-replace ' '
The site itself goes up and its internal links become based on `test`, but 2 problems occur:
1. All css is jumbeled up.
2. The original site's CSS is also jumbeled up (this is quite wired, I must say).
While I can reverse the result, I admit I don't understand what's going on (because I do everything in the new dir and not in the original dir).
## Update
I was wrong, the db wasn't changed to `test` in `wp-config.php`... It seems my sed operation failed:
sed -i 's/${domain}/test'/g /var/www/html/test/wp-config.php | The problem was due to some conflict between variable values (I don't recall the exact details).
The solution AFAIR, was to just use another Bash session, without any predefined variables (I just newly defined any variable I needed this time):

WPCLI doesn't recognize the site

How to allow .bin files upload?

get_children() not working properly – Only on one post?

Both have a thumbnail (even if I delete it, no change) – Same taxonomy-settings.. | The `get_children` function retrieves posts (an upoaded image is also a post) that are dependent on the post with a certain ID.

So if you are writing post A and upload image B, B will become a child of A. If you then write post C and include image B in a gallery, B will not become a child of C. If you use `get_children` on C, you will find nothing.

User / membership Plugin
I would like to know if there is any plugin that can do the following:
1) Every registered user will have a personal agent assigned. The user can contact via messages only with the assigned agent.
2) Every agent (there will be 4-5 agents in total) can see only the users assigned to him by the administrator.
3) The administrator can see all the users (including the agents).
Thank you. | I don't know a plugin like this. But, my personal solution for this project would be like this :
* create a custom post type for agents
* create users role for agents (and users if you want)
* attach a custom field to users to store the assigned agent (maybe with Advanced custom fields plugin)

WooCommerce order created via REST - sending the date_created along
So as the topic hints, I'm trying to get WooCommerce to accept my `date_created` that I'm sending along with the order I'm creating via REST:
POST
{
(order_fields)
...
"date_created": "05-12-2017 13:00:00"
}
The field is readonly sadly, so does anyone know if this is possible?
The reason I need this, is the orders are created in an external system, and the dates need to be the same across both systems. | `date_created` is `read-only` value meaning that you cannot set it over the REST API. What you can do is:
1. Send creation time from your "external system" as `order meta data` (sample PHP code below) and then in WooCommerce trigger the action using custom plug-in which updates order `date_created` according to a meta value.
>
> $json_encode['meta_data'][0]['key'] = 'my_date_created';
> $json_encode['meta_data'][0]['value'] = '05-12-2017 13:00:00';
>
2. Update `date_created` in your "external system" with `date_created` from jSon returned by Woocommerce in order to have values synchronised.
If you just want to pair order records do it over `order ID` returned in jSon by Woocommerce (Woocommerce returns a jSon when the order was created successfully). You will add `order ID` record to your "external system". | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Should I have a single cron job that loops the users, or one for each user?
I'm working on a website which only registered users can access, and they are manually added to the site, since there is no registration enabled. Think of it as a private shop. The number of users is below 1000.
Each of the users can set a couple of events, such as birthday. They usually add less than 10.
I want to inform the user by email about their events, when there is a couple of days remaining to reach that event.
Now the question is, is it performance-wise better to run a single cron job every day at 00:00 and loop through all users and check their events ( stored as metadata ), or should I set a yearly cron job for each event of each user ( which ends up in having a thousand of cron jobs )? | Run a single cron, it's much more manageable and more stable, and performance shouldn't be an issue since you do 99% of the work of selecting which user should be notified in MySQL, which will be extremely fast.
I'd use a table to save each day (and each user on that day) that my cron has successfully run for, to make it more resilient. Plan for failure, not for success, because it **will** fail at some point, and the importance is how bad that failure will be and how much time it will take you to fix the fallout.
Server crashes right before midnight and is rebooted at 00:05? No problem, just run the job manually, or wait till the next day, it'll run two days in one run!
Server crashes while executing the cron? No worries, the next time it runs, it'll pick up right where it stopped last time. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Custom permalink with pagination
I have a custom post type called **news** and in order to distinguish _current_ and _old_ news posts I have a custom field where the client can mark a news post as ' _archived_ '.
So my permalink rewrite code looks like this:
function custom_rewrite_rule() {
add_rewrite_rule('^news/archive/?','index.php?post_type=news&news_archive=true','top');
add_rewrite_rule('^news/archive/page/([0-9]+)?/?$','index.php?post_type=news&news_archive=true&paged=$matches[1]','top');
}

function add_query_vars_filter( $vars ){
$vars[] = "news_archive";
return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'add_query_vars_filter' );
The first bit works but the problem is with the pagination. I can access the **_news_archive_** query_var but not the **_paged_** query_var.
What is the correct way to incorporate paged into this permalink rewrite? | The problem is that your first rule is capturing anything that begins with `news/archive/`.
Add the `$` anchor to match _only_ `news/archive/`:
add_rewrite_rule(
'^news/archive/?$',

'top'
