Rewrite Point Doesn't Work on Custom Taxonomy
I have a custom taxonomy (in a custom plugin) for which I have included the argument 'ep_mask' => 'EP_CATEGORIES' for rewrite (this uses WDS' Taxonomy_Core):
'args' => array(
'hierarchical' => false,
'show_admin_column' => false,
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => 'sermon-series',
'with_front' => false,
'ep_mask' => 'EP_CATEGORIES',
),
I then have in my theme's functions.php file the following instruction to create a rewrite endpoint:
function lqd_app_view_rewrite_endpoint() {
add_rewrite_endpoint( 'app-view', EP_ALL);
}
add_action( 'init', 'lqd_app_view_rewrite_endpoint' );
When I view say:
<
This works perfectly. However, when I try to use it on a custom taxonomy, I get a page not found error:
<
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks! | One thing I noticed is that you're defining EP_CATEGORIES as a _string_ , however it's actually a _constant_ (defined in WordPress Core). So for example you should define your `ep_mask` like so (without quotes):
'ep_mask' => EP_CATEGORIES,
You may need to flush the rewrite rules after making this change. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Automatically check the option "Enable stock management at product level" on product creation
We have a peculiar WooCommerce setup where each product is only sold once. So we set each product to have 1 stock on creation automatically.
Using stock management feature in WooCommerce requires an option: "Enable stock management at product level" with a checkbox to be "checked"
Is there a function or anything I can use to make this box "checked automatically" upon product creation?
Thanks for any help! | To set default values of a new post, you can try this code :
$postType = "product";
add_action("save_post_" . $postType, function ($post_ID, \WP_Post $post, $update) {
if (!$update) {
// default values for new products
update_post_meta($post->ID, "_manage_stock", "yes");
update_post_meta($post->ID, "_stock", 1);
return;
}

To Disable Wordpress Rest API or Not To Disable?
I have my blog self hosted running WordPress and I Do NOT need the Wp-Rest API.
But as it turns out disabling it is causing to Contact Form 7 To not work. Contact form 7 simply shows the spinning circle infinitely.
As I read on wpbeginner (link here) that disabling will boost security.
So my question is if I leave it enabled, which I intend to do. What safety precautions should I take?
Thanks | You personally might not need or rely on the WP REST API, but clearly Contact Form 7 does. And so does WordPress core. Especially future versions (think Gutenberg) will heavily rely on the REST API and won‘t work without it.
There might be plugins that disable the API, but that‘s at your own risk and certainly doesn‘t make your site suddenly secure. It might decrease the possible attack surface, sure, but at the cost of breaking all parts that rely on the API.
tl;dr: There‘s no point in disabling the WordPress REST API. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Gravatar images are not fetched in Ultimate Member plugin
Is it not possible to use Gravatar images in Ultimate Member Plugin? Or is it an issue that its not working?
Under users tab (Ultimate Member -> Settings -> Users) "Use Gravatars" is enabled, still it shows empty/default gravatar than user's gravatar avatar/image. | Based on my testing and information from the developers, Gravatars won't appear until you use the _Gravatar Transfer_ feature to transfer the images to the local profile.
That feature can be enabled from _Ultimate Member_ > _Settings_ > _Extensions_. Once it's activated, you can transfer the Gravatars from _Ultimate Member_ > _Gravatar Transfer_.
You'll need to run that feature periodically in order to keep the Gravatars up to date. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Why insert post function do not set the modified author without administrator panel?
I am have a front-end new post and edit post forms.
* I'll using the `<?php wp_insert_post( $post ); ?>`
Everything is all right here.
If any **editor** or **admin** modified any author posts on front-end: `<?php the_modified_author(); ?>` not working. But modified on `/wp-admin` administrator panel working it.
> I want to update `<?php the_modified_author(); ?>` on my function! But how? | `the_modified_author()` displays the name of the user whose ID has been stored in the `_edit_last` post meta field.
If you want to update the ID after another user has updated the post, you can use something like `update_post_meta( $post_ID, '_edit_last', get_current_user_id() );`. Then the new user's name will be displayed when using `the_modified_author()`.
Replace `get_current_user_id()` with a custom user ID if it's not the current user who's updating the post. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How Can I Change a Taxonomy URL Based On The Originating URL?
I previously wrote a question about rewriting a URL based on an originating URL and Milo provided me with a working answer for pages/posts. But now I am trying to do a taxonomy rewrite and the same functionality seems to break things.
Here is my code:
function lqd_series_link( $term_id, $taxonomy ) {
if ( $taxonomy == 'gc-sermon-series' && isset( $wp_query->query_vars['app-view'] ) ) {
return $taxonomy; // I've also tried $link
}
return $taxonomy;
}
add_filter( 'term_link', 'lqd_series_link' );
What is strangest is what this results in. So if I do the code as Milo instructed on the question linked above I end up with a URL for pages like:
<
But when I use the above code I end up with the same exact thing:
<
Thoughts? | The `term_link` filter has a different signature for its callback function than the `page_link` filter, meaning the arguments in your callback are different. (Also note you'll need to explicitly set the argument number when you call `add_filter` because by default `add_filter` will only setup 1 argument. For example:
add_filter( 'term_link', 'lqd_series_link', 10, 3 ); // Where 3 is the number of arguments for your callback function
Then in your callback:
function lqd_series_link( $url, $term, $taxonomy ) {
global $wp_query;
if ( $taxonomy == 'gc-sermon-series' && isset( $wp_query->query_vars['app-view'] ) ) {
return $url . 'app-view/';

Form submissions that require users ID#
I'm new to asking questions here, so any help would be appreciated.
I'm managing a Wordpress website for an organization that is going to have an upcoming election of board members and they'd like to do it online using a form. They currently use Ninja Forms.
In order to verify each form submission they want to see if it is possible to only accept forms after the person enters a serial number that will be assigned to them, or possibly the ID# that Wordpress automatically assigns to users.
Any thoughts on accomplishing this? Or the best place to track down a developer to help accomplish this.
Thank you in advance.
AJ | If you don't want to touch code, you could create a page whose content only logged-in users can see. That way only valid users can see the form. You'd want to look for a content restriction / membership plugin to handle the protection of that page. You can set a field - perhaps their email address - to only accept unique submissions, so if someone tried to vote twice, Ninja Forms would prevent them from even submitting a duplicate.
If you want to touch code, you could register a hidden field in your form (see < but instead of including user IP you'd use `get_current_user_id()` to capture their auto-generated WP ID). You would then also want to create a child theme and apply a template to that specific page to hide the form if the current user is not logged in. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

wp-admin pages return ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

After a lot of digging and following segfaults in strace and parsing out apache core dumps (and enlisting some outside help from a much more knowledgeable Linux guy) I dug this up on Wordpress's site.
The short answer to the problem is that there is an issue with PHP5 and libssh2 that was introduced in an update a few months ago. There is no actual fix for it, but it can be effectively worked around by installing this plugin: <
It worked like a charm for me; all my users can log in normally and I can once again update plugins and WP Core through the GUI.

How can I append and prepend something to all post hyperlinks without using ::before or ::after? PHP hook solution?

But it's straightforward with jQuery and some CSS.

Author functions don’t work in customizer’s selective refresh
Is there a bug or something that prevents post author’s functions not to work in customizer selective refresh callback?
It renders fine on initial page load, but author functions don't show after the refresh. Other functions seems to work fine.
Here is my demo callback function for selective refresh:
function refresh_callback() {
echo get_author_meta('ID'); // isn’t rendered after refresh / setting change
echo get_the_title(); // is rendered fine after refresh / setting change
} | The selective refresh request doesn't get the whole regular WordPress request context. That is why on initial load (regular request) it works, while on AJAX partial refresh it doesn't. In your case, the global `$authordata` is not set and `get_the_author_meta()` is relying on it when no user is explicitly provided.
You will need to do a little bit of work yourself:
function refresh_callback() {
// First get the current post
$current_post = get_post();
// Test if we actually have a post content (we might be in an archive context)
if ( ! empty( $current_post ) ) {
echo get_the_author_meta('ID', $current_post->post_author );

How to change path for default WordPress blog posts?

Function added using `add_action()` not being called
I'm a Javascript developer and I am very new to PHP/Wordpress. So just like what I saw from samples around the internet I wrote my `functions.php` script to add my custom css file like this:
**functions.php**

echo '<h1>CASH ME OUTSIDE</h1>';

function theme_styles()
{
echo '<h1>CASH ME INSIDE</h1>';
wp_enqueue_style('theme_styles', get_template_directory_uri() . '/foo.css');
}
?>
To check if the `functions.php` is being called I printed `<h1>CASH ME OUTSIDE</h1>` and it did appear. How ever the echo inside the function `theme_styles()` is not being printed which leads me to the conclusion that the function is not being called. | A `echo` in functions.php, `wp_enqueue_scripts` or any other non-template file probably breaks the output due to a fatal error because of headers already sent. `echo` is not a proper way to debug.

Other than that, your code seems correct; be sure to include `wp_head()` and `wp_footer()` in your theme. Those functions are needed to print the enqueued scripts and styles; then just do this:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles');
function theme_styles() {
// You can use error_log, a native PHP function,

How to "remove" file from parent theme

This seems like a really basic issue, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated! | It is sometimes possible to edit theme files, including `functions.php`, inside wp-admin.

WP REST api.wordpress.org discovery

Unfortunately not all of the API endpoints are documented or either open sourced, as you can see when browsing SVN or looking at the plugins API code directly.
If you have any questions about stuff that's currently in development there, you should really ask in the #meta Slack channel instead of here or raise an issue on Meta Trac.

Can I show all the template files that are being used on my site?

display text on the same line
No matter what I do (stripping html tags or not) the following statement displays the result on 2 lines rather than one:
$text = sprintf( '<p>%1$s %2$s</p>', wp_filter_nohtml_kses( the_author_meta('user_firstname') ), __( 'hasn\'t published any articles yet.', 'monochrome-pro' ) );
Any idea why this is happening? | Note that `the_author_meta()` doesn't _return_ the meta value, but _echoes_ it. That's why the name is suddenly outside the `<p>` element.
Use `get_the_author_meta()` if you need to return (and do something with) the field, rather than just display it.
I'd highly recommend you to change your use usage of `__()` too, because that is not useful for translators as it's missing the name as context.

$text = sprintf(
__( "%s hasn't published any articles yet.", 'monochrome-pro' ),
esc_html( get_the_author_meta( 'user_firstname' ) )

echo '<p>' . $text . '</p>';
Note: if you don't trust your translations, you should use `esc_html()` on `$text` instead of the user meta. As mentioned in the comments, using KSES functions is a bit overkill.

is_main_query() not working for WP REST API
My initial situation is, that I have a custom post type `events` which are - who would have thought - events. There is a custom UI (backend) where the user can enter multiple dates. Each date is then saved as post meta as a timestamp.
I am then using `pre_get_posts` (and a few other filters/actions) to change the query so the posts are displayed based on that timestamp. This is working perfectly when calling the default post type archive page (<
We are currently developing an app for mobile phone which then should display the events. We are using the WP REST API to retrive the event data. The problem is that `is_main_query()` returns always false when using the REST API.
Does anybody know how i can bypass this problem? | To answer the question directly - The REST API do not initialize a main query, therefor there should not be any for requests coming that way.
What you should do is to create your own end point and server what ever custom data you need on it. Modifying the REST API, while possible, violates the whole idea of having a consistent and documented API in the first place. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Where to get the unsaved list of widgets in customizer?
In the customizer, whenever I add a new widget (but before I save/publish the changes) I would like to get the number of widgets in that sidebar area.
Once the changes have been saved and the widgets are saved to the DB, I can use the `wp_get_sidebars_widgets` (called in the `init` hook, where it registers my widgets) to count all the widgets for each sidebar area,
I've taken a look at the `wp.customize.Widgets` and the `wp.customize.WidgetCustomizerPreview` objects and they do not look like they will give me what I need. Where in the JS is this information saved? | You can get the list of widgets in a sidebar via:
wp.customize('sidebars_widgets[sidebar-1]').get()
This is a list of the widgets' IDs. The `sidebars_widgets[sidebar-1]` is the setting ID for the sidebar. Replace `sidebar-1` with the ID of your sidebar.
So to get the count just do:
wp.customize('sidebars_widgets[sidebar-1]').get().length
If you want to listen for when a widget is added or removed to a sidebar, you can `bind` to the `setting` to listen for changes, like this:
wp.customize( 'sidebars_widgets[sidebar-1]', function( sidebarSetting ) {
sidebarSetting.bind( function( newWidgetIds, oldWidgetIds ) {
console.info( {
added: _.difference( newWidgetIds, oldWidgetIds ),

Adding Html in text editor automagically adds undesirable paragraphs when publishing
When I write pages, I want to code my own HTML to accomplish the design that I get.

Is there any other solution that start using a plugin like `raw html` ? | While this sounds strange behavior, it does sound like you are doing it wrong. The wordpress "text" editor is not an HTML editor and should not be a replacement for one. It is useful for fixing whatever can not be done with the visual editor, but no more.
If you need a specific design which is just impossible to even get close to achieve with the visual editor, you should just create a page template for it.

Feed cache fallback - A feed could not be found

Started using `fetch_feed($url);` which affords more flexibility in terms of cache. But unsure of how to structure the fallback. | Sounds like you are looking at it from a very low layer POV. `fetch_feed` provides caching so you will not need to wait for a response on possibly every page load. Therefor, as long as there is a cache you are unlikely to even **want** a message to be sent and obviously you are not handling any actual result. It is unlikely that you will want to hurt your server with a faster refresh rate just to be able to properly detect the conditions on the other side.

Create a "Reject" action for comments?
I'd like editors on my site to be able to reject comments, alongside approve/unapprove/spam/trash, both individually and in bulk. The reason is that all of our comments have to be approved before they go live, but we tend to keep rejected comments around (we often flag them with a reason why they're being rejected). We have multiple users who handle comment moderation, so just "unapproving" a comment makes it hard to tell whether it has been reviewed or is still pending.
I am curious whether it is feasible to create something like this (ideally with a dropdown of reasons why a comment is being rejected that a moderator could choose from) within WordPress, or whether I'd be better off just sending rejected comments to the Trash and disabling the automatic delete. | It's currently not that easy to create new comment statuses in WordPress.
Comments in WordPress have a field `comment_approved` which can have a value of `1`, `0`, `spam` or `trash`. In your case I'd probably leverage the existing trash functionality and store the rejection reason as comment meta.

Is possible dequeue/remove style from wp_footer() hook and add on wp_head() hook?
I need unregister this enqueue style of wp_footer() hook and add it to the top of site with hook wp_head(), this is possible?
I'm optimizing my theme to validate in W3C, and one of the requirements of W3C is that all styles are within the tag `<head></head>`... I am using an specific plugin called `Crayon Syntax Highlighter`, and this plugin are inserting a style at the bottom of the page (probably using `wp_footer()` hook).
The name/id of script is `crayon`: ;
wp_dequeue_style( 'crayon' );
remove_action( 'wp_enqueue_style' , 'crayon' , 10 );
wp_deregister_style( 'crayon-css' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'crayon-css' );
remove_action( 'wp_enqueue_style' , 'crayon-css' , 10 ); | If you look at the source code, you can see that `wp_enqueue_style( 'crayon' )` is called in `Crayon::enqueue_resources()` which itself is called either from either `Crayon::the_content()` or `Crayon::wp_head()`. The code in `Crayon::wp_head` is:
if (!CrayonGlobalSettings::val(CrayonSettings::EFFICIENT_ENQUEUE) || CrayonGlobalSettings::val(CrayonSettings::TAG_EDITOR_FRONT)) {
CrayonLog::debug('head: force enqueue');
// Efficient enqueuing disabled, always load despite enqueuing or not in the_post
self::enqueue_resources();
}
Which will enqueue the style only when certain settings are enabled. Otherwise, the style will only be enqueued from `the_content` filter which fires after `wp_head` has already been output.
So your two options are:
1. Have the CSS enqueued on all pages in the header
2. Have the CSS enqueued only on necessary pages but in the footer | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to delete read more span on single post view?
How could I complete delete following line on single post view?
<p><span id="more-XXX"></span></p>
I need to delete whole span tag. Is there any other option than preg_replace? | As stated in the docs, if the quicktag `<!--more-->` is used in a post to designate the “cut-off” point for the post to be excerpted, `the_content()` tag will only show the excerpt up to the `<!--more-->` quicktag point on non-single/non-permalink post pages.
WordPress adds `<span id="more-' . $post->ID . '"></span>` to the content in this case. Since there's no content in the `<span>` (check out the code), you can easily remove the `<span>` by filtering the content:
add_filter( 'the_content', function( $content ) {
return str_replace( '<span id="more-' . get_the_ID() . '"></span>', '', $content );
}
Note that this causes the Read More link not to jump to the area where you inserted `<!--more-->` anymore. An easier way to achieve this would be to use the `the_content_more_link` filter and remove the `#more-<post_id>` part from it there.

That's the shortest way I know to install the WordPress shell extension **WP-CLI** :
curl > /usr/local/bin/wp && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wp
Is there an even shorter way?
Note: I use Ubuntu 16.04. | Downloading the Phar file is the recommended installation method for most users. As you showed, it's basically just one line. It can't really get shorter than that. And the steps make sense: download the file, make it executable and move it to the right location.
There are alternative ways to install WP-CLI though. For example, if you're using Composer, and have something like `~/.composer/vendor/bin` in your PATH (or `C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin` on Windows), you can just run:
composer global require wp-cli/wp-cli
To update everything globally, run `composer global update`.
Alternatively, on Debian or Ubuntu you can just download and open one of the .deb packages: <
On macOS you can install WP-CLI via Homebrew: `brew install homebrew/php/wp-cli` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Failed to load resource admin-ajax.php

Make RSS feed only accesible by Mailchimp
I'm developing a private site for a customer (only accesible by loggin in) and I would like to make the RSS feed only accesible by MailChimp.
I know how to take the feed out of the auth_redirect and is_user_logged_in function, but I don't know how to make that specific URL only accesible by MailChimp (if there's a way) | Finally, the solution has been, as birgire pointed out, creating a custom feed and only allowing access to that URL:

}
function customRSSFunc(){

Customize "Continue Reading" text
I am using "twenty seventeen" theme for my blog. I need to change text of "Continue reading" link. Could you please help me?
Thanks, Dmitriy Reznik | The solution (or problem) is not limited to the 2017 theme. This is something you can add to any theme. Since it involves changing the `functions.php` file, you should first make a Child Theme of the 2017 theme.

Different string for specifed post type on posts listing at homepage
I use below code to list custom post types on homepage beside standard posts
<?php $args = array('post_type' => array( 'post', 'gallery_posts' )); ?>
<?php $query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) : ?>

<?php _e('Read More', ''); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
What i should to do for change 'Read more' text for second type of post while looping? | You can check the post type in a conditional and echo a different 'read more' text based on this.
Your `$query` is a `WP_Query` object and has a `$post` property. This is a `WP_Post` object of the current post and it has a `$post_type` property.
You can access it directly with `$query->post->post_type` to check the type.
So your code would be something like:
<?php $args = array('post_type' => array( 'post', 'gallery_posts' )); ?>
<?php $query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
<?php if ( 'post' === $query->post->post_type ) : ?>
<?php _e('Read More', ''); ?>
<?php elseif ( 'gallery_posts' === $query->post->post_type ) : ?>
<?php _e('View More', ''); ?>

Can I assign a Folder for Post Formats, without it affecting WordPress' fallback/hierarchical system?
I have created a few Post Format Templates Files. `format-aside` and `format-audio` etc. At present, I am using `<?php get_template_part (‘format’,get_post_format()) ;?>` to call such Templates.
In an organisational effort, I am looking to place all of my Post Format files, into a folder, entitled `post-formats` and then call each Post Format, using the following entry:
`<?php get_template_part (‘post-formats/format’,get_post_format()) ;?>`
Whilst this works, I was wondering if this was seen as bad practice.

If you are the developer and maintainer of the theme, you should develop it in a way which will be easy for you to maintain in the long run, regardless of what other people's preferences are.
If someone else is going to maintain it, keep as much as you can to the structures used by the core themes. That said, in this specific case, even if they don't do it this way, it looks easy enough to understand by anyone that had ever worked with wordpress themes. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to translate WordPress Emails?
I'm running a multilingual site, and I want the emails sent to the user to be in their language. The scheme I already have is the following:
1. The website determines the user's country through their IP.
2. The website redirects the user to the site's version of the language of their country (eg. if the IP detected is from France, then it redirects the user to a WPML french version of the site).
The problem is that I want to have emails translated as well, based on the IP of the user. (eg. the user registers through < then the email sent to him for completing his registration should be in French.)
I have WPML and Loco Translate activated for translation, along with Geo Redirect to redirect users to various site's languages.
Is this achievable? and how? | I managed to do so using a plugin called **IP2Location Redirection** , then it worked well for me. It turned out that **Geo Redirect** hasn't been compatible with latest versions of Wordpress. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Will cron job run if page loaded is being served from cache?
As a cron job does not run until a page load request comes, what will happen in case page-loaded is being served from cache by some caching plugin? Will WordPress still run a cron job that is scheduled to run in this case? | It depends on the plugin and the cache method you are using. For example, as far as I remember, WP Super Cache offers two different cache methods:
1. PHP Cache
2. HTML Cache
Using the first method creates PHP cache files that still load WordPress's functions, but do not go through the whole loading process. If this is the case, it means that the PHP functions are executed, and your cron job will probably be processed. However, since the cron jobs are usually in the theme's `functions.php` file, and the PHP cache file is usually a PHP template cache, there is a chance that it won't trigger. You should have a closer look at the generated PHP cache files.
The second method simply creates status HTML files that are served directly. There is no PHP involved in this, so no cron job will be executed. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I have a code in my theme's stylesheet that looks like this. I would like for my code to not use the width property that is set in here. Deleting is not the option as that would be only temporary solution until the next update of my theme. What can i do, so that this with property is not used?
@media (max-width: 991px) and (min-width: 544px){
.footer-bottom-widgets .columns {
position: relative;
float: left;
min-height: 1px;
padding-left: .9375rem;
padding-right: .9375rem;
width:33.333%;
}
} | I would not suggest creating a child theme to override a single CSS line. You can simply use the theme customizer and add your CSS to the additional CSS box. Most CSS properties accept an `unset` or `inherit` value. So, you can paste the following code into the additional CSS box:
@media (max-width: 991px) and (min-width: 544px){
.footer-bottom-widgets .columns {
width: unset;
}
}
Since the additional CSS is added as inline, the priority is higher than the original CSS, which will override the original styles. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to add post title below the featured image in the plugin code?
I'm trying to modify the 'display random posts' plugin. In the following code I would like the output display to show list of posts with the featured image and the title of the post below it. Currently this code displays only the featured image in front end. How do I add the post title below the image?
$string .= '<ul>';
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
$string .= '<li><a href="'. get_permalink() .'">'. get_the_post_thumbnail() .'</a></li>';
}
$string .= '</ul>'; | Personally I would not modify the plugin, as you'll just lose all your changes on each and every update.
But if you insist, just change line 4 to
`$string .= '<li><a href="'. get_permalink() .'">'. get_the_post_thumbnail() .'</a><h6>'. get_the_title() .'</h6></li>';`
Then you can target those h6s with CSS | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can I have an additional functions.php file in Wordpress?
There're quite a lot of functions, and so, does my theme, it all gets a little cluttered even with all the comments. Additionally, every time the theme is updated, the new functions.php file would replace the current one.
So, it becomes a pain.
Hence, I thought, would it be possible to have a 2nd/3rd functions.php file? Using PHP include or require function. That way, I can categorise the functions and they won't be affected on theme update.
So,
<?php include 'functions_1.php' ?>
Thanks, | You can get rid of the theme update situation by using a child theme. Your child theme will work as an extension of the parent theme that you update often. You can learn more about child theme from here.
But if you don't wanna use child theme then yes, you can add as many additional functions file as you want. A regular `include` or `require` will just work fine. You can include file using a relative path or you can use `get_template_directory()` function for an absolute path. For instance
include get_template_directory() . '/inc/functions-1.php'; // if it's inside inc directory
include get_template_directory() . '/functions-1.php'; // Or if it's not inside any directory | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to select which thumbnails sizes are displayed in srcset
I know that Wordpress has its way of letting the browser decide which image to download depending on the viewport via the srcset.
I also know that I can use the_post_thumbnail function and specify a custom size, like this:
the_post_thumbnail('my-custom-size');
Now, what I would like to achieve is being able to specify a list of custom sizes (of different aspect ratio from the original image), and letting the browser decide with one to use based on the viewport.
I DON'T want to just add a custom size to the list of possibilites in srcset, I want to choose the whole list of available sizes.
I DON'T want to override the general setting of srcset of the entire website. I want to specify this list of sizes only in one section.
Is this possible? | The 2nd argument of `the_post_thumbnail()` is an array of attributes and values, so you can just set your own `srcset` attribute that way:
the_post_thumbnail(
'my-custom-size',

Can't update WordFence Options, clear data manually
I ran across this problem today. Found enough bits on Stack Overflow to finally get me there, but figured I'd post a coherent answer to my question.

How can I change the settings so the data all clears on deleting the plugin? | I found a post on Stack Overflow advising that converting a column from `blob` to `text` should result in no data loss.

Place a button besides "add new"

.custom-class-for-your-button {
position: absolute;
top: 1.6em;
left: 14em;

Why is it important to deactivate a plugin before deleting it?
I stumbled across this page, where it says that `wp plugin delete` does this: **Deletes plugin files without deactivating or uninstalling.**
Why is it important to deactivate a plugin before it is deleted? Is it a formality or can something terrible happen? | Generally, plugins have some functionality hooked onto the deactivation action. This could be clearing cache, resetting options, you name it.
Therefore the best practice is to deactivate them first, so they have the opportunity to clean up and execute whatever functionality they have hooked onto the deactivate event.
Now if the plugin is broken and can't be executed, or if the deactivation function does something you don't want or is broken in itself, you might need to delete it without running that functionality. In my experience, nothing bad really happens, except some junk files being left.
This can be different depending on the plugin however, so always excercise caution with this type of forced deletion. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
