Fastest way to install a multisite?
I setted up a Ubuntu-Nginx VPS machine with phpmyadmin and WP-CLI. I'm ready to start working with WordPress.
What's the fastest way to install a multisite?
Maybe with WP-CLI, maybe there's a ready, remote, communal script I could run with `curl`?
Thanks, | The fastest way will be wp cli usage.

Accessing plugin settings in gutenberg
I'm trying to build a gutenberg block (via plugin) that interfaces with a third-party api via credentials. I'm unsure how to, or even if I can, access a plugin's settings in gutenberg in order to grab a potential credentials field for use in the block. (I understand there's potential to put something in the editor's sidebar, but I need a persistent global setting that doesn't have to be set with every block.) Am I missing something in the documentation or is this not possible yet? | The WordPress way to access PHP variables with JavaScript is to use `wp_localize_script()`.

}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse_enqueue_scripts' );

Email reply to multiple email addresses not working
I want that email reply should be received at multiple email address. But it is not working for me. I have tried different ways but none of these working for me. I am trying this header but it is only replying to the last email address.

$subject = "my email subject";
$message = "my email message";

Do translation functions like __e() have to take strings in English in themes?
I'm developing a theme and curious if strings could be written in a language different from English and still be properly translatable?
What I mean is when using translation functions in a custom theme, e.g. `__('string','textdomain')` or `__e('string','textdomain')` can I use language different from English to write the string, for example: `__e('строчка','textdomain')`?
Or do I have to write everything in English and then provide a translation files for other languages (presumably because theme's default language defaults to the WPLANG setting in wp-config.php)?
Hope someone can clarify this. | Yes, you can use any language you want. But if you want your theme to be translated by everyone, you should pick a language that people are likely to know, like English.

Create human verification for wordpress contact form with two random number
I have two number and an operator in three variables. For example $number1, $number2 and $operator. $operator contains only an operator from an array of (+, -, *, /). Now my question is how can I calculate mathematical operation with these three variables? For example $number1 ($operator) $number2 = ? | Recommend you just stick to `*` and `+`, not expect people to deal with decimals and negative numbers. It is best to keep it simple as possible and not attempt to `eval` the string as an expression which is not good practice:

$display = $number1.' '.$operators[$operator].' '.$number2;
if ($operators[$operator] == "*") {$result = $number1 * $number2;}

wp_dropdown_pages : choose post status to list in dropdown

Text not wrapping properly around image in Wordpress Visual Editor
This question pertains specifically to the Wordpress Visual Editor _ I have searched for an answer to this question because it must be a common issue_ but sadly not been able to find a solution anywhere_ including Stack Exchange
The problem is getting text to wrap all the way up the side of an image _ I just cannot get it to do it as I would expect it to in webpages that are NOT Wordpress specific _

<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-301" src=" alt="" width="300" height="159" /> Text content </p>
If anyone could advise on how to resolve this issue I would be very grateful _

Pagination on a custom post type loop
I've read a lot of questions about this topic. None of them solve my issue.
**Poblem** : pagination is shown at page 1 but page 2 returns 404.
The query and loop are in front-page.php:
// WP_Query arguments
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'trabajo',
'posts_per_page' => '2',
'paged' => ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1,
);
// The Query
$trabajo_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$temp_query = $wp_query;
$wp_query = NULL;
$wp_query = $trabajo_query;
// The Loop
if ( have_posts() ) {
while ( have_posts() ) {
the_post();
the_title();
}
}
wp_reset_postdata();
the_posts_navigation();
$wp_query = NULL;
$wp_query = $temp_query; // Reset | I found the final answer here: <
Page 2 of front page was taking pagination from main query, not from my custom query.
I've taked these actions:
**1\. To change name of front-page.php to index.php** in order to get the main query every time page is loaded (even when paginated)
**2\. To change main query with pre_get_posts** in order to show posts of my CPT:
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function ( $q ) {
if ( $q->is_home() && $q->is_main_query() ) {
$q->set( 'posts_per_page', 1 );
$q->set( 'post_type', 'trabajo');
}
});
**3\. Do a normal loop in the index.php:**
if ( have_posts() ) {
while ( have_posts() ) {
the_post();
the_title();
}
}
wp_reset_postdata();
the_posts_navigation();

Is it possible to issue a theme update that requires a new plugin?
I developed a forked version of the Understrap theme for a project I completed. The theme has since been used in about 300 sites. Recently we found a bug relating to a plugin used that the developer has been unable to resolve after more than a year of requests. The solution is to uninstall that plugin and install an alternate plugin.
My question relates to the theme update mechanism, I used this library but I'm not sure if it is possible to deactivate the existing buggy plugin and install the alternate plugin via the update?
Using the update would obviously make it easier to roll out the change | You should never deactivate or uninstall or even install any thing which is not part of your theme without explicit user consent. If a theme can not work without a plugin, its functionality should be shipped as part of the theme, or it just have to live with whatever bug that plugin has.
The best you can probably do is to have an admin notice about the incompatibility. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Correctly enqueue scripts of type=text/paperscript (PaperJs Library)

Most performant/functional way to add actions/filters?

Possibility 1:
function myabc() { }
add_action('init','myabc');
Possibility 2:
add_action('init','myabc');
function myabc() { }
Possibility 3:
add_action('init',function(){ });
Can you give a short explanation if any style may have an advantage about the other? Or are they overall equal? | There is no difference between 1 and 2. Both are same in every single case. So, I'll consider 1 and 2 as **A** and 3 as **B**.
Now in **A** the `add_action()` callback function is a named function whereas in **B** the callback function is an anonymous function and this is the main difference. I hope you know that using `remove_action()` we can deregister an action hook and to do that we have to pass two parameters. One parameter is the hook name and another is the callback function name. So if you register a hook with an anonymous callback function it's not possible to deregister that later!

exclude a category from a search on a specific page

`if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_search() && $query->is_main_query() && wp_get_referer() == " ) {`

What is the best way to install a WordPress starter theme into a Docker environment?
I'm recently learning more about starter theme development and would love to get some feedback or tips from any pros here on the forum that have experience in setting up a docker environment for a WordPress starter theme.

Once you've got the zip file, head over to your WordPress admin and navigate to Appearance -> Themes. On the themes page, click the "Add New" button and then "Upload Theme" and then follow the prompts to install and activate it.

How do I add a custom css to all posts without affecting homepage css?
As the title says, How can I add a custom CSS to all posts without affecting homepage CSS on WordPress?
And I know that some plugins like "WP Add Custom CSS" would work for this and I am actually using it, and it does work but, what I want to do is give all my posts the same exact code, I don't want to give every post manually the same code over and over.
Because if I wanted to change this code later on, then I will have to go back and edit every post that I made with this new code change.
For example, I have this CSS code:
.post-meta {
margin-right: 0px !important;
}
Every post needs to have this code but without affecting homepage CSS. | By default, WordPress sets various classes to `<body>` depending on which page, template, parent, .. you are on. For a single post, some of these are `single` and `single-post`, so you could use the following
body.single.single-post .post-meta {
margin-right: 0px !important;

What is the proper way to include a PHP framework into my theme?
I am using a Twitter Timeline PHP framework to display a list of tweets with favorite/retweet interactions. I have it all configured and working as a standalone solution currently and I am wondering what the best way to incorporate it into my custom Wordpress theme would be.

Or is there a better practice? | It is that simple. Code away!
if it's in a plugin I do this:

Wordpress automatically adds links to uploaded images
Wordpress automatically adds the link to every image I upload within Media. And then I can’t find a way to remove it. How can I upload images without links or just remove it? There is just no option to choose whether to upload with link or without. I tried many plugins for that but none seems to be working. This happens when I use uploaded images in default Gallery widget by Wordpress. I also tried this code, but nothing. Code:
add_filter( 'the_content', 'attachment_image_link_remove_filter' );
function attachment_image_link_remove_filter( $content ) {
$content =
preg_replace(
array('{<a(.*?)(wp-att|wp-content\/uploads)[^>]*><img}',
'{ wp-image-[0-9]*" /></a>}'),
array('<img','" />'),
$content
);
return $content;
} | You adjust that when you insert the image into the post, not when you upload it.
When you upload the image, you will be looking at it on the Media Library page. On the right hand side is a column that says "ATTACHMENT DETAILS". Scroll down on that, and look for "ATTACHMENT DISPLAY SETTINGS".
The field you're looking for is called "Link To" and you want to set it to be "None" before you click the "Insert into Post" button.

Is it possible to increase php memory without directives in wp-config.php, .htaccess or php.ini?

customize search result in wordpress
i'm creating a Reference website, in this website there are many texts about some knowledge, The main task of this site is to find the keywords (or words close to them) in the content ,And search results are based on words, not the whole text. some lines before and after the keyword, and if the user wants to see the full text enter to it , and if the keyword has been used more, the results will be displayed it individually.My problem is that I do not know much coding, and all the plugins only show the whole text from the beginning in the results. I'm currently using the search&filter plugin.
this site has done what i want This site they show the keyword after each result and you can see every keyword in a content,and after the keyword you can see the words that close to the keyword | What shows in search results is not always controlled by search plugins. You probably need to adjust your theme. Create a child theme, copy `search.php` from the parent theme into the child theme, and wherever it calls for `the_content()` replace that with `the_excerpt()`.
Some search plugins may modify this behavior, so you'll have to do some trial and error, but you can start with out-of-the-box WP search to test and then try a variety of plugins.
If you have budget available, there are several paid search options that allow you to adjust relevancy and weighting of different items like the title, content, etc. Elastic, Swiftype, and others give you a lot more control over your search results without having to have coding knowledge or even adjust your theme - you pick what shows in the serps right in their UI. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

$mytitle = the_title( '', '', false );

Is it possible to enqueue CSS files from plugin before theme's CSS files?
If I enqueue styles from my plugin, then it loads after theme's styles. That's why some CSS of my plugin is overriding by theme's CSS. This problem would be fixed if I can ensure my plugin's styles load after theme's styles. | It's easy to add your plugin stylesheet after theme stylesheet. If you're sure that your theme styles and plugin styles have the same selector weight ( _theme has this style`.site-header { background-color: #ccc; }` and your plugin has this `.site-header { background-color: #f1f1f1; }`_) then enqueuing plugin stylesheet after theme stylesheet will work.
If you're enqueuing with `wp_enqueue_scripts` action hook then changing the hook priority parameter will do the work. Here's an example:
function op_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap', ' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'op_enqueue_scripts', 50 );
If priority 50 doesn't work then try increasing that to 80 or 100. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

But when I use wp_enqueue_script("jquery") the local wordpress homepage (with xampp) returns the value NULL | Although it seems like you should be able to just call the function and have it load the script, it's slightly more complicated. Instead, scripts need to be registered and enqueued inside a hook, so they're loaded in the right order.
To get jQuery loaded on the front end of your theme wrap the function call inside a callback for the `wp_enqueue_scripts` action. One way is to add this to your theme's `functions.php` file:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function () { wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); } );

Please explain how these hooks work
I have read about hooks and actions and I know that when we see `do_action('some_hook')` it means that somewhere `add_action('some_hook', function() {...});` or function `some_hook()` exists in a theme's `functions.php`.
But what is it?! :
From **woocommerce/includes/class-wc-checkout.php** line #943:
public function process_checkout() {
try {
/////////////
do_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_process' ); <----!!!
if ( WC()->cart->is_empty() ) {
throw new Exception( sprintf( __( 'Sorry, your session has expired. <a href="%s" class="wc-backward">Return to shop</a>', 'woocommerce' ), esc_url( wc_get_page_permalink( 'shop' ) ) ) );
}
do_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_process' ); <-----!!!
I can't find `woocommerce_checkout_process` and `woocommerce_before_checkout_process` anywhere in files! What do they do? | It is possible for action hooks to be provided without being used, which is what's happening here.
`woocommerce_before_checkout_process` and `woocommerce_checkout_process` are hooks provided by WooCommerce, but WooCommerce does not itself attach callback functions to either of these hooks. They are provided to allow plugins and themes to run code at the time that the respective hooks are triggered.
If you'd like to attach a function to the `woocommerce_checkout_process` hook (for example), you'd add the following code to your theme or plugin:
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_process', 'wpse_woocommerce_checkout_process' );
function wpse_woocommerce_checkout_process() {
// Do something...
}
This code will run when the line calling `do_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_process' );` in WooCommerce is executed. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

htaccess rule to ignore specific subdomain
I have a .co.uk domain name which hosts a Wordpress website and has SSL certificate applied via AutoSSL in cPanel.
I also have a subdomain to that .co.uk which is forwarding to another server using the DNS zone editor in WHM.
On the wordpress website, there is a link to the subdomain which should display a web app hosted on the secondary server, but unfortunately it is just reloading the wordpress website, and I am presuming this is something to do with the htaccess file.
Is there a rule that needs adding to make the htaccess ignore the subdomain so that when the link is clicked, the user is sent to the subdomain correctly, instead of having it refresh the home page?
Thanks | Have asked my hosting support to check my DNS and there were 2 entries because I added an A record in WHM and also added the subdomain to the account in cpanel, they have removed one and all is now working.

Bootstrap theme embedded iframes are distorted
I'm trying to embed videos onto a page, but they are displaying all stretched out. Here's what it should look like, and this is what it currently looks like.
Here's my embed code:
<iframe width="100%" src=" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
... but it looks like the default css may be messing with the proportions
.embed-responsive-16by9 { padding-bottom: 56.25%; }
.embed-responsive .embed-responsive-item, .embed-responsive iframe, .embed-responsive embed, .embed-responsive object, .embed-responsive video {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 0;
}
Removing the above css makes the video disappear. Any suggestions on why the videos may be appearing to stretched? | You can achieve this by adding some free plugin like this one.

get_post() function returns post even if it is trashed
I'm developing a WordPress theme. I am selecting one post as a 'featured post' from the customizer settings. I want to display this post differently on home page. I'm using following code to get the post on home.php:
$featured_post = get_post( get_theme_mod( 'featured_post_id' ) );
This code works perfectly to get the post. But, after selecting this post as a featured post, if I trash it, it still gets displayed as a featured post on home page. If I 'Delete it Permanently', it doesn't get displayed.
How do I use `get_post()` to get the post that is not trashed? | That's not how `get_post()` works. Trashing the post doesn't change the value of the theme mod, and the theme mod is still going to point to that post in the database, so `get_post()` will dutifully retrieve it as long as it's there.
It's up to you to make sure its status is what you want before display:
$featured_post = get_post( get_theme_mod( 'featured_post_id' ) );
if ( $featured_post && $featured_post->post_status === 'publish' ) {
// Display post
}
You could also do a `WP_Query` or `get_posts()` (plural) to query posts with the status `publish` _and_ the ID that you have, but it's probably going to end up more lines of code and slightly slower than just checking the status anyway. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Historic WordPress database connection
Did the WordPress default database connection allow for the use of mysql_query() in years gone by? If so, at what point did this end? Am I assuming correctly that it has to do with the WordPress database object?
Background: Many years ago, I wrote a custom template for a WordPress client that involved importing an XML feed into the database and showing it on WordPress pages. I kept copious notes, but only on the trouble areas, and the database connection wasn't one of those. The client moved on, but is now back with an error in that old, old code. I can fix it, but my client is the curious sort and may want specifics on what changed.
The error is Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /Address to WordPressTemplate.php on line 38. There is no connection string that I can find, so I'm assuming that this query was using the default WordPress database connection. | WordPress still has `mysql_query()` in its codebase (as of February 27, 2018).
`mysql_*()` was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0 and removed in PHP 7.0.0. Since WordPress still supports PHP 5.2 (for reasons beyond understanding), it needs to support both `mysql_*()` and `mysqli_*()`, WordPress will use `mysqli_query()` when available ( PHP > 5.3.0 ) and fallback to `mysql_query()`.
If it's the WordPress `$wpdb` object that is using `mysql_query()` it means you're running on PHP 5.2.x, which you really should upgrade. If you're certain you're on PHP 5.3 or greater, then there's some other code that's using the old `mysql_query()`.
Although based on the error, it looks like it's a problem with the permissions in your SQL database. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Creating a copy of a website in a subdirectory, wp-admin redirect problem
I have my Wordpress site installed on a root folder. Then I have a **test** subdirectory where I want to have a copy of my website. I did copy and move all of the files from my main website to the test directory. I have created a new database, a new user, imported the database from the main website into the new database and I have changed the wp_confing.php file in the test directory to use that new database. Everything seems to be ok but when I got to: **mainwebsite.com/test/wp-admin** and I try to log in, it just hangs there, I press on access and I get no error or anything, the password fields just resets but I don't get redirected so I cannot save my permalinks.
I suspect an error in the .htacces file, since its' the same from the main website, but then I deleted it and I still have the same problem. | If it's a standard WordPress `.htaccess` file that won't be your problem. I'm willing to bet you forgot to change the Site URL values when you imported the database.
You can either edit it in the options table in your database or even in your wp-config file by adding

How do I check if a posts status is set to draft or pending?
I would like to check a posts status, in particular I want to know if a post is set to draft or is privately published.
I have the following code:
if ('draft' != get_post_status() || is_user_logged_in()) {
$this->render();
}
else {
wp_redirect( site_url('404') );
exit;
}
It checks to see if a posts status is not set to draft or it checks if they are logged in and then renders either the post or redirects to the 404 page.
For some reason privately published posts are visible to non logged in users and I am trying to fix this. | To check post with post status `private`, you could run the following:
if (get_post_status() == 'private' && is_user_logged_in()) {
// it's private and user is logged in, do stuff
} elseif (get_post_status() == 'draft') {
// it's draft, do stuff
} else {
// it's something else, do stuff
}
Or, in your current setup, you can simply only display _published_ posts via:
if (get_post_status() == 'publish') {
// it's published, do stuff
$this->render();
}

DISABLE wordpress upgrade page
For security purpose I want to Disable the adresse below:
...../upgrade.php
It's give informations about the version of wordpress used. | You can actually do this on the web host without actually any PHP code. Using the same procedure as is recommended to deny access to `wp-config.php`, you can also deny access to `upgrade.php`.
All you need to do is create a file named `.htaccess` in `wp-admin` and put the following in it:
<files upgrade.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>
What this does is it tells the web server software do deny access to `upgrade.php` from everybody. That way if someone tries to access it, the server will return a 403 error instead.

Most performant way of fetching remote API data?
I am currently trying to speed optimise the fetching of the data via the remote API.
I am using it in this way:
$response = wp_remote_get('
$response_body = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response);
$data = json_decode($response_body, true);
It returns an array of data, that I am traversing and saving to appropriate variables with which I later insert the data where I want it to be inserted.
All of this is done via AJAX, so that the data is being inserted dynamically.
The whole thing takes around 400-600ms. But if I try to access the api endpoint directly with pasting the API URL in the URL bar in my browser it just takes around 50ms. Does the `json_decode` & saving and outputting from variables account to the other 400-500ms? Is there any other way that I could minimase the impact of loading time? | The most performant way of fetching remote API data is **not fetching it at all**. Thus, use Transients API or WP Object Cache to save your computed results for future use and avoid calling external API (and further computations) on every subsequent request. Additionally, fetching, invalidating and regeneration of this data can be done in the background, but that's more of an advanced technique and will heavily depend on your current architecture and specific use case.
The 50ms vs 500ms difference comes from:
* connecting to your own ajax endpoint
* loading and executing part of WordPress engine
* connecting, sending the request to external API endpoint and getting the response back (that 50ms, more or less)
* parsing the response
* your custom computational logic
Most time is spent on the first 3 steps, not the last 2. You can profile your code to see the full picture. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to auto increment post title & post slug field?

Slider loading issue

All the slides load in, and don't get told to "be sliders" until the whole page has loaded.

display: none;
}
And you can have the first slide be shown if you want:

display: block;

#section-slider .single-slide-wrap {
display: none;
}
#section-services .tab-pane:first-child,
#section-slider .single-slide-wrap:first-child {
display: block;

Disable comment windows for all existing posts (pages/blogposts)
Is there a WP-CLI command to disable comment windows for all existing posts (pages/blogposts)?
I ask this since when I change a theme for a site I have, all pages in that site getting their comment windows again and I need to individually disable comments per each page.
In this particular site I have up to 10 webpages but in any case I'd like to that with WP-CLI. Is it possible?
If you don't know a way with WP-CLI please at least share another good way you know. | Here is an untested suggestion for wp-cli approach:
We can list post IDs of published posts with _open_ comment status with:
wp post list --post-status=publish --post_type=post comment_status=open --format=ids
and update a post to a _closed_ comment status with:
wp post update 123 --comment_status=closed
where 123 is a post id.
We can then combine those two into:
wp post list --post-status=publish --post_type=post comment_status=open --format=ids \
| xargs -d ' ' -I % wp post update % --comment_status=closed
or
for post_id in $(wp post list --post_status=publish \
--post_type=post --comment_status=open --format=ids); \
do wp post update $post_id --comment_status=closed; done;
Then there's the `ping_status` as well to consider.
There are other ways than wp-cli but please remember to take **backup** before testing. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Only show columns in custom post type?

how to add custom user capabilities using add_user_meta or something else?
i have two WordPress sites with SSO Configurations as described here but the plugin in the answer didn't work for me so i tried to write a code to add capabilities for second site users:
$wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query(array('role' => 'author'));
$users = $wp_user_query->get_results();
if (!empty($users)) {
foreach ($users as $user)
{
add_user_meta( $user->id, 'orewpst_capabilities', "a:1:{s:6:'author';b:1;}", true );
add_user_meta( $user->id, 'orewpst_user_level', '2', true );
}
}
the problem is the output result for `"a:1:{s:6:'author';b:1;}"` is `s:23:"a:1:{s:6:'author';b:1;}"`
i don't know what "s:23" means and why it appears in database!
**update** : I want the string `"a:1:{s:6:'author';b:1;}"` to store in database with out any change! but somehow my code adds an "s:23:" before it. | Try passing the value without serializing it manually, because WordPress will do it for you anyway:
add_user_meta( $user->id, 'orewpst_capabilities', array( 'author' => 1 ), true );

Mustn't do_action be accompanied with a function?

Consider a busy site with about 10,000 posts divided in 10 custom post types. Custom taxonomies and custom fields are also used on all of them.
The main query was modified to include all these posts types everywhere, on index, archives, search, feeds.
**Now, is there any performance hit caused by using custom post types versus regular 'post'?** Or it wouldn't make a difference what types they are? | No. All posts are stored in the `wp_posts` table. The post type is defined by `post_type` column.
Regardless to custom post types included in query, there is only one SQL query executed. Of course there may be some performance hit caused by a little bit more complex query (in vs. =), but it's marginal. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

remove_action() not working in page template - Genesis

echo '<div class="container">';
}

echo '</div>';

remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'twl_content_wrap_end', 15 );
But it's not working!
Any Ideas?

function twl_content_wrap_start() {
if ( !is_page_template( "page_full-width.php" ) )
return '<div class="container">';

How to implement content from external database into Wordpress text page?
What methods exist to implement data values from external database into a Wordpress text page? I think that there are two possible ways but maybe there are some more ways to realize this?
* Maybe there exists a WordPress Plugin? - I've tried to find one, but without luck. I don't know the keywords how to find one. The < PHP code widget allows using PHP Code but only in Widgets, not in text.
* Second idea to integrate data values into WordPress page is to use iframes. Not sure, if this is a good and practical idea.

May you know some different ways to realize this? | You should write a plugin, or compact the code needed for this in a child theme `functions.php`. About pulling data from external databases: the simplest way is to use php built-in functions. I would proceed this way:
1. Register a shortcode to place your table wherever you want in Wordpress, you probably want to pass some values, to select the specific data you want to pull from the database or the look the table should have
2. Hook the shortcode to a function, that connects to the external db and queries it, according to your needs, builds a table using the data and outputs it.
