malware in wordpress installer on dreamhost. <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//coinhive.com' />
I was trying to create a website. It is live. And you can see that there is a malware which google detected.
In the source you will see three lines
`<link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//coinhive.com' />`
THere is one more place where coinhive is visible.
This is basically a code which mines monero on client's desktop/ laptop
Q) how do we find out how this malware got into the website at the first place? Parts: 1) Is it because of the shared hosting of dreamhost being hacked? 2) Some plugin which did this? 3) How do we remove this. 4) How do we make sure it does not come back :(
Have been trying to find out but no clue.
I have been building this for 3 months and have done many things including downloading some themes from "torrent"
So difficult to track. But if you guys have any previous experience, then it will be easy to figure out. | I found the problem..
Answering for others who might have gotten this...
There is this code embedded in one of the plugins
function enqueue_my_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-internal', ' false, false, true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-backend', plugins_url() . '/LayerSlider/assets/js/jquory.js', false, false, true );
}
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_my_scripts' );
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_my_scripts' );
And this javascript file Jquory.js.
Just remove the code above and the js file. The problem will be gone.

Disable dragging of metaboxes in custom post types?
I am able to disable dragging of metaboxes sitewide with this function:
function disable_drag_metabox() {
wp_deregister_script('postbox');
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'disable_drag_metabox' );
But I want it only on a custom post type. I tried the usual:
function disable_drag_metabox() {
global $current_screen;
if( 'event' == $current_screen->post_type ) wp_deregister_script('postbox');
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'disable_drag_metabox' );
and also this one:
function disable_drag_metabox() {
$screen = get_current_screen();
if( in_array( $screen->id, array( 'event' ) ) ) {
wp_deregister_script('postbox');
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'disable_drag_metabox' );
Sadly it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? the custom post type is called event. | The current screen isn't setup on the `admin_init` hook. That's why `global $current_screen` and `get_current_screen()` don't work.
Every admin page has a `load-something` hook that fires after the current screen is set up. Since you say this is for an events custom post type, you should use the `load-post.php` hook. So you're code would look like:
function disable_drag_metabox() {
if( 'events' === get_current_screen()->post_type ) {
wp_deregister_script( 'postbox' );
}
}
add_action( 'load-post.php', 'disable_drag_metabox' );
You can use the Query Monitor plugin to figure out what hooks fire on each page and in what order. It also does a lot of other cook stuff. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Product atributes in title of order (not in description)
I have couple of variable products. When someone order product, some product displey in new variation format (where order atributes are in title). Image: <
– And other disply whit old variation format (where product atributes are in description) Image: <
How can i display all order in old variation format ?
Thanks | This requires a little bit of code to be placed in functions.php. If you want you can use a plugin like WP-Designer to do that.

How do I display the password field on the WordPress user registration screen?

Check category before displaying featured image
My single.php shows the featured image:
if ( has_post_thumbnail( ) ){
the_post_thumbnail( 'full',array('class'=>'img-responsive') );
}
I don't want the featured image displayed if the post is in certain categories.
I have no idea how to write the code, none of the suggestions I found helped me. | `has_category()` will do the trick. You can pass it an ID or slug, or an array of IDs or slugs, and it will return `true` if the post has any of the given categories:
// ID
if ( has_category( 1 ) ) {
the_post_thumbnail( 'full', array( 'class' => 'img-responsive' ) );
}
// Slug
if ( has_category( 'one' ) ) {
the_post_thumbnail( 'full', array( 'class' => 'img-responsive' ) );
}
// IDs
if ( has_category( [1, 2, 3] ) ) {

}
// Slugs
if ( has_category( ['one', 'two', 'three'] ) ) {
the_post_thumbnail( 'full', array( 'class' => 'img-responsive' ) );
}
And you can check if the post is not in certain categories by adding `!` to the condition, to indicate 'is not':
if ( ! has_category( [1, 2, 3] ) ) {
the_post_thumbnail( 'full', array( 'class' => 'img-responsive' ) );

WordPress core code contains things marked as deprecated by... Wordpress?

How to sanitize my cookie name
guys! I'm setting a cookie after my Gravity Form is submitted. The name is based on the current page, so each page that has this form will have its own cookie.

$from_page = rgar( $entry, '6' );

WordPress on VirtualBox - no pretty permalinks
Right, this has me stumped.
I cannot get the pretty permalinks to work. They go to 404.
The permalinks are updating, I can see the URL change to each setting as I save them by going to a post, but only the default "p=ID" works.

* .htaccess is being created and updated whenever I update the permalinks
* Owners and Permissions are set to www-data:www-pub and 755/644 (dir/file)

* mod_rewrite is enabled
* apache2 has been restarted (several times).

Custom templates for a specific category
I am having issues creating a custom page template for a category in WP. I am currently using the standard content type "post".
So the issue is I have a parent category, and many sub categories and I would like any posts within these categories to use a specific layout. This custom template should apply to all sub categories within the parent. Is this possible, or would I need to create separate templates for each sub category?
I have looked at custom post types as another option, but It doesn't seem they have the hierarchy options required.
Any advise would be appreciated | Have a look at this article in the the WordPress Theme Developer Handbook.
You should create a template in your theme named `category-unicorns.php` where **`unicorns`** is the **slug for the parent category** you want this template to be used for. You can also create a template file `category-5.php` where **`5`** is the **id of the parent category**. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Why does the theme of secondary site load the primary one in Wordpress Multisite?
**I have this situation:**
1. I activated Multisite mode to develop the main website in a secondary site with subdomain "beta";

2. I duplicated the default theme with "beta" suffix, but it is not set as a child theme;
3. every site has applied with the own respective theme.
> EX: _mysite-theme_ for www.mysite.com, _mysite-beta_ for beta.mysite.com
**The problem is:** when I visit the beta site, php files are loaded from _mysite-beta_ as expected, but the css files are loaded from _mysite-theme_.
Why does happen this with Wordpress? How can solve this situation? | To test with the primary content I used `switch_to_blog(1);` in a main php page and it causes that the `get_header();` function loads the header page of blog **1** (in this case).
So, I added `restore_current_blog();` after searching contents with WP_Query and before calling `get_header();` and the theme works as I expect.

Stop admin-ajax?
Is it possible to simply disable/stop `admin-ajax.php` from running?
Have searched WordPress Doc. Have searched Google. Have searched this forum. Found no answer.
Have also tried this, but it doesn't work:
function stop_ajax()
{
define( 'DOING_AJAX', false );
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'stop_ajax' ); | The first thing `admin-ajax.php` does is define `DOING_AJAX`. Then, it loads `wp-load.php`. It does some other stuff, and the first thing it comes across that you have control over is `wp-config.php`.
So if you want to stop all ajax, you can add to following to your `wp-config.php` file.
if( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) {
wp_die( '0', 400 );
}
If you don't have access to the `wp-config` file, or just want to do it via a plugin, you can do that too. No need to add it to a hook since if it's a request that doing ajax, it's already defined.
/**
* Plugin Name: Stop Ajax
*/
if( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) {
wp_die( '0', 400 );

How to fix wordpress site url attaching to social media links in the widget?

I'm aware the best method is to process this through `admin-ajax` and set call the url through PHP. What is the most secure method to do this, and how can this be requested through PHP?
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "
data: dataString,
dataType: "json",
//if received a response from the server
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
},
}); | I would break this problem in to 2 parts.
First, you could sent an Ajax request to your server, sending only the `dataString` variable.
Then, you can use either `cURL` or `wp_remote_get()` on the server to access the real API.
This could be the only solution, if you want to avoid playing hide and seek with hashes and writing tons of code just to make it hard for the users to find the API key. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

File sharing platform for user contributions?

Pulling author name via $_GET parameter
So I'm running a few ACF forms. One creates the post, and then I have an edit post form that edits the post via a form that populates based on the post id.
So my edit post url: site.com/edit-post/?post=478
Then I have some code in my file:
<?php
$post_id = $_GET["post"];
This effectively lets me get the current post ID based on the ID passed in the URL. It works well for my forms. The issue I'm having is I want to display the author name for the post in the URL, however I can't seem to find the right syntax to do it. I've tried `the_author();` and it doesn't give me the right author.
Additionally, I tried `the_author_meta( 'display_name', $post_id['post_author'] );` and it gave me a different author name but still not the right author for the post.
Any ideas as to what I could try to get this working?
Thanks, let me know if you need more info. | You get the author ID of the post ID via get_post_field

How do WordPress Nonces Work?
I am trying to understand how WordPress nonces work in terms of security. `nonce` stands for a number used once, but according to WordPress, it can be valid for up to 24 hours, which makes no sense. It could be used 9999 times during this period (by same client).
I thought that a WordPress nonce is really a number used once and that a nonce is valid only for one-time usage, but that's not the case. I guess for a better security, a one-time usage number would be better, e.g. you have a commenting system and someone clicks on "reply" two times. Instead of inserting the comment two times, it is being inserted one time, because of the one-time valid nonce (same one) given in the two requests.
Am I getting something wrong? What is the purpose of those WordPress nonces? | If you read Wordpress Nonces in Codex, they have explained it pretty fairly. some of the key points are:
1. always assume Nonces can be compromised.
2. Nonces are a hash made up of numbers and letters.
3. Wordpress Verifies any https request with both `nonces` and `user cookies`.
I believe point #3 is, in short, is how it works with WordPress. They have mentioned that use `current_user_can()` function instead of wordpress nonces.
As for the purpose, I believe, it serves basic purpose of multilayer security. Read this Are Nonces Useless | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Custom Post Type using single.php is looking for a template that doesn't exist
I have a list of custom post types, which includes one called "Tall_Homes" and a home page of six boxes generated from six different custom post type excerpts. They all link successfully to content-single.php, via single.php where
`$post_type = get_post_type( $post->ID );`
is used to write each page. They all work except for Tall_Homes, which doesn't reach the single.php page. Instead it generates this error:
`Warning: include(.../post-template-tallhomes.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ...\wp-includes\template-loader.php on line 74`
However, there is no "tallhomes.php" template and this spelling of "tallhomes" is not found in the custom post type setup. I don't know where it's coming from.
Which one of the register_post_type items or args contains the information used to generate the template name? Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks Charles | Without seeing more code, on the surface it looks like a typo somewhere because the `{$posttype}` would be `tall_homes`.
You could try putting an override function in your theme's `functions.php` file though that should get around this:
function tall_homes_override( $template ) {
global $wp_query;
$post_type = get_query_var( 'post_type' );
if ( $wp_query->is_single && $post_type == 'tall_homes' ) {
return locate_template( 'single.php' );
}
return $template
}
add_filter( 'template_include', 'tall_homes_override' );
What this should do is that when WordPress goes to look for what template to use, it will test and see if this is a single post and what the `post_type` is. If it is single and the post_type is `tall_homes` then it will set it to use `single.php` instead. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Query the REST API for a Tag by slug
Is it possible to query the API directly using a tag slug rather than a tag ID? Or do you have to query the main tags endpoint to find out its ID?
For reference, you can fetch a tag this way:
> GET /wp/v2/tags/
<
Does core support a method that would allow me to use a slug instead of an ID? Or is there a workaround/filter addition that might add this? | I was looking at this before... Here is what I found (about 7 months old from today 3/21/2018.)
The “correct” way to do this with the REST API is to get the IDs of each of those tags, then make the request using the ?tags= parameter: assuming “clicks” has ID 1, and “passes” has ID 2, that would look like this
[
Using slugs for querying taxonomy terms is an issue, but slug-based queries were deliberately left out of core because they are more prone to change than taxonomy term IDs. To demonstrate the issue, if you renamed a slug and made a request with an outdated slug, your request will fail; but if you use the ID, changing the slug will not break your query.
You can get the ID of a slug by querying for e.g. `/wp/v2/tags?slug=clicks` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What's the best way to add the LESS preprocessor to a WordPress theme?

Where to store OAuth 2.0 client id and secret?
I'm building some functionality within one of my WordPress sites that integrates with a third-party API, and that API uses OAuth 2.0.
I use both the client ID and secret every time I need a new access token, which is going to be at least once a day as the access token expires after 24 hours. (Generating a new access token also generates a new refresh token, and the previous refresh token is invalidated.) I'm storing the tokens in the options table in the database, along with the expires_in time.
Where should I be storing my client ID and secret? Is there a typical place to store things like this within WordPress? Right now I just have them defined in the wp-config.php. While I'm thinking this should work well, are there any potential drawbacks to this method, particularly regarding security of the client secret? | This depends on what is it that you are developing. If it is a plugin, you have to store such settings in options as the last thing site owner should be asked to do is to modify their config file.
If it is your own site, just make it a constant that is declared in your code if you do not want it to be configurable by the admin. There is no advantage in keeping it in some non obvious place which is harder to find when inspecting the code.
As for security, in theory having it in the code is more secure, as you do not have to worry about someone hacking into the DB, but in practice, since if someone can get into your DB you are already toast (he will add its own admin user...), it makes almost zero difference.

Remove certain post-formats from showing in blog?
I'm coding this wordpress theme and I enabled post-formats, currently designing them. What I want to do is use quote post-format to display reviews and I don't want it to show in blog posts. Is that possible?
**EDIT:** This may be a dumb question but can you create your own post-format? | It might be possible, but you can not control what the user has in the DB before activating your theme, so you might have to handle "quotes" which are not reviews in any case.
In theory you can try to detect based on the content, or if you use some specific meta values, based on them, whether it is a review or not and handle the html generation accordingly.
I would not be too worried about that as post format are rarely used, so the chance of them being used wrongly, is probably slim.
As for the not "dumb" at all part, You might be able to hack it, but the whole point of post formats is that it is standardized between themes. If you create something outside of the standard, it might work in your theme, but fail when the user switches to another, or fail integration with plugins, so not advisable at all.
It sounds like what you should consider is using a custom post type for it, which is what "testimonials" kind of plugins do. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do I customize the dashboard?
I've been using Drupal for almost two years now so I know nothing about Wordpress.
I have configured everything on my website to work how it should and I love it. I created a new user using the sign-up link and logged in and that user that I just created (Permissions is: Subscriber) can see a lot of information that only an admin can on their Dashboard.

if(!current_user_can(publish_posts)) {

How do I make my sites logo smaller?
My sites logo is far to big I have tried changing the overall image size in photoshop however it doesn't help.
http:bentleyandhudson.com | This question isn't really WordPress specific it's more an image editing or CSS question.
Firstly, your logo image size is incredibly large and there's no need for it whatsoever - you should resize it so that it's the size that you would like it actually displayed.
It looks like you're using a GoDaddy WordPress theme which is partly the problem too as it's explicitly setting the size of your image (`<img>`) element to 3067px X 986px and I've no idea at all why it would do this...
But, in order to help you, here's some CSS code that you'll need to enter in your themes CSS options or in your child themes style.css file to alter the size of the logo image:
.site-title-wrapper {
width: 480px; /* Change this to whatever width you want */
float: none; /* This stops the image being 'floated' to the left */
margin: 0 auto; /* This centers the image */
}

Adding a class to the body of an inactive site using multisite
I am using multisite and have made inactive one of the sites. I would like a way to add a class to the body tag of inactive sites so that I can in turn, use that class to add a note for admin to see from the front-end that the site is indeed inactive. Can the functions file be used to do this perhaps? | Yes, you can use the `body_class` filter. If all the sites use the same theme, you can get away with putting this in `functions.php` (in a child theme so your code doesn't get overwritten when the theme is updated), but if any sites have a different theme, you'll need to put it into a custom plugin (perhaps a MU plugin).
<?php
add_filter('body_class', 'wpse_299000_body_class');
function wpse_299000_body_class() {
// check if current subsite is inactive, deleted, archived, or spammed
$is_inactive = ms_site_check();
// value will come back either true or false
if($is_inactive == true) {
// add your desired class to <body> - this example adds .inactive
$classes[] = 'inactive';
}
// always return classes so none are taken away
return $classes;

Function to incorporate an option in each Page
Hello (sorry for my bad english).
I have searched but not found what I want. I would like to know if there is a possibility to incorporate an option for each page. Something like in the Customize. Each page has a different wallpaper and I want to modify the opacity of each wallpaper with an option in the Page.
I don't know if I'm clear, but with the customizer I change the option for all the pages. What I want is to have an option for each page and a different variable and modify ti in the page and not in the theme customizer. The same way I change the Page attribute or the author.
Thanks you very much for your help and have a good day ! | It sounds like you need custom meta boxes. You could either create your own plugin to add them or use a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields. You would add two meta boxes to each post type where you want to be able to select these options, one to select the image, and another to set an opacity. For an overview of creating your own meta boxes - Add custom meta box on Post page
From there, you would need to output custom CSS using the selected image and opacity as the background for one of the elements on the page - perhaps `<body>` or `<main>` but it would depend on your theme. You could either create a child theme and output the `<style>` tags directly in `header.php` or you could add to your own plugin and have it output the `<style>` tags at the `wp_head()` hook.
From here I'd suggest working on adding the custom meta boxes first, and come back if you get stuck on a specific step. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

$args['rewrite'] = array (
'slug' => 'team-murray',
'with_front' => false,

WooCommerce: One term for Many Product Attributes

How can I achieve so that both can have YES values? | You need to understand "product attributes" are basically taxonomies so in your case "Has Fingerprint", "Has Dual Flash" are taxonomies which can contain different terms and these terms should be unique, you can't store terms with same name.

Multisite with different domain names
Let's say I have an `site1.example.wordpress.com` site, but instead I want me users to see (in their browsers) different link, e.g. `example.com`. I.e. when someone types `example.com` it would serve `site1.example.wordpress.com` but in browser it would display `example.com`.
I'm aware of this and this solutions. However, I do not want to install the plugin, and the solution that suggests changing TLD in wordpress seems iffy (it's a good solution, that I keep seeing everywhere on the net). However, can a CNAME be used?
And if I add `example.com` as a CNAME, can I add it just as a `ServerAlias` (apache 2.4) in my existing vhost for multisite? Or should I make separate virtual host that would reverse proxy to `site1.example.wordpress.com`? | WordPress Multisite can handle this without a plugin.
What you need to do:
_I'm assuming that your WP Multisite installation is at`example.wordpress.com` and your desired URL for the new site is `example.com`, per your question._
1. Create the site in the Network Admin section on `example.wordpress.com`.
2. Select **Edit Site** on the newly-created site.
3. Change the **Site Address (URL)** to whatever you need it to be (in this case, `example.com`.
As long as the DNS resolves correctly, and your webserver knows that `example.com` is to be served by `example.wordpress.com` (eg, your `example_wordpress_com.conf` file in Apache has a line like `ServerAlias example.com`), you should now be able to go to `example.com` in your browser and have your new site appear.

How to set show admin bar front to true for all users?
I just wanted to know whether it is possible to set for all users `show-admin_bar_front` meta data to true. I've tried this to put those lines in functions but with no results :
// Create the WP_User_Query object
$wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query(array('role' => 'Subscriber'));
// Get the results
$users = $wp_user_query->get_results();
// Check for results
if (!empty($users)) {
// loop trough each author
foreach ($users as $user) {
// add points meta all the user's data
update_user_meta(5, 'show_admin_bar_front', 'true');
}
} | You can use `update_user_option()` function (see codex)
Your loop looks fine to me, so probably this would work:
// Create the WP_User_Query object
$wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query(array('role' => 'Subscriber'));
// Get the results
$users = $wp_user_query->get_results();
// Check for results
if (!empty($users)) {
// loop trough each author
foreach ($users as $user)
{
// update option
update_user_option( $user->ID, 'show_admin_bar_front', 'true');
}
}
Things to pay attention to:
1. You're looping through all queried users, so in `update_user_option` the first parameter needs to be the id retrieved from current user object (not the hardcoded ID)
2. The third parameter in `update_user_option` should be of a string type apparently, so `"true"`, not `true` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Having trouble adding CSS class through menu to link

I've completed my wordpress page with a few subpages and one domain xyz.de. So I've a couple of pages, let's assume:
> xyz.de
>
> xyz.de/page1
>
> xyz.de/specific_topic
Right now, my second domain **specific_topic.de** redirects to **xyz.de/specific_topic**. I'm wondering whether it would be possible to keep the domain **specific_topic.de** in the addressbar of the browser, so when entering **specific_topic.de** , I want to see exactly the page which is right now shown when visiting **xyz.de/specific_topic**. There wouldn't be any subpages for **specific_topic.de** ; it would JUST ONLY SHOW that single page. All the other menu items would again link to the original domain **xyz.de**.
So I want to get rid of the hard redirect, but instead keep the domain. This domain wouldn't have any further subpages, it's really just this domain for this one page named "specific_topic".
Is this possible?
Thanks | This free plugin seems to be exactly for what you want, and is up to date: <
You will need to point the DNS A record of the second domain to the same IP as the main one. There are more instructions in the FAQ section of the page I linked.
This is NOT for a multisite. It is for a single WordPress installation with multiple domains. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can't unregister parent theme's CPT from my child theme
Here's how I create my CPT in my parent theme's `functions.php`:
function my_custom_post_job() {
...
register_post_type('job', $args);
}
add_action('init', 'my_custom_post_job');
I'm trying to unregister this in my child theme's `functions.php` like so:
add_action('init', 'remove_cpt');
function remove_cpt() {
remove_action('init', 'my_custom_post_job');
}
What am I doing wrong? | you cannot remove a hook when you are in the same hook with the same priority.

Use wp_set_post_terms() instead of wp_insert_post()
Since I use cron jobs for automation I ran into some problems with the taxonomy. Before I used the cron job, the following code used to work:
$custom_tax = array(
"project-type" => array(
"2"
)
);
$mypost = array(
'post_title' => $basicdata["Model"],
'post_type' => "portfolio",
'post_status' => "publish",
'tax_input' => $custom_tax,
'comment_status' => "closed"
);
$pid = wp_insert_post($mypost);
I know when I use cron jobs, can't use `tax_input` in `wp_insert_post()` anymore, but it should work with `wp_set_post_terms()`. I didn't really understand how to achieve the same thing with `wp_set_post_terms()` by reading the WordPress codex. Would be nice if anyone could help me... | After some hours of further searching i found the solution:

AJAX call using admin-ajax URL is returning 400 bad request
I am attempting to create an AJAX call to pass custom taxonomy into my `WP_Query` but I am getting `400 (Bad Request)`.

data: {
taxonomy: 'products',
slug: 'shirts'

Use content custom filter for all shortcodes

Custom excerpt length filter doesn't work
So I'm trying to change the standard post excerpt length.
Every single blog post on the web tells me to do it with a filter like this:
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 15; // Length of the excerpt in number of words
}
Problem is there is no change to the excerpt length. All the text is being output and not just 15 words. I have no idea why this doesn't work when it's supposed to be the solution.
I'm using `<?php the_excerpt(); ?>` in the post loop on home.php, category.php and tag.php to output the excerpt. | For anyone wondering, as custom excerpts don't get trimmed by the `excerpt_length` filter hook, try adding this filter:

How to amend time format of comments, using child-theme?

So if you're trying to get the post types before the `init` hook, you will only ever get the built-in ones.
To get custom post types, you need to use a hook after `init`, or later on `init` than the custom post types were registered.

'id' => $name.$i,
)
);
$i++;
}
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'generate_sidebars' ); | `widgets_init` isn't a function, it's an action hook. The callback you specify for that hook is `generate_sidebars` which requires two parameters, but the `widgets_init` hook doesn't pass any parameters to its callbacks.
I think what you're trying to do is this:
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'call_sidebar_function' );
Which will call the `call_sidebar_function()` function which will then call the `generate_sidebars()` function with the correct parameters. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Possible to swap in a placeholder image globally for the_post_thumbnail_url if one doesn't exist?
I am working on a new theme for a site, but the majority of the posts don't have a featured image set. Throughout the new theme I am pulling in featured images using `the_post_thumbnail_url`. I am wondering if there is a function I can add to `functions.php` to override this url, globally, with a url to a placeholder image if there is no featured image assigned to the post. | If you know the URL of the placeholder image, you sure can do it.
`get_the_post_thumbnail_url()` function calls the `wp_get_attachment_image_url()` function which in turns calls the `wp_get_attachment_image_src()` function to get the source of the post thumbnail. `wp_get_attachment_url()` returns the result from `wp_get_attachment_image_src` filter. So we can use that filter to modify the result if there is no image and the size is 'post-thumbnail'.
namespace StackExchange\WordPress;
function image_src( $image, $attachment_id, $size, $icon ) {
$default = [
'
];
return ( false === $image && 'post-thumbnail' === $size ) ? $default : $image;

Are theme .php files stored in the database?
I'm asking about the relation of WP .php files (themes etc.) with the database. Is (part of) the content of these files stored in any way on the database?
**Context:** I'm trying to migrate from http to https. All the relevant guides, talk exclusively about a "Search and Replace" of the < with the < in the database. Nowhere did I find anyone mention that you should also do a search and replace in the theme or other .php files of WP; though often there are links/references to the domain in these files. | No, a theme's `.php` files are not stored in the database. Themes _should not_ be hardcoding URLs in their files. However, it's totally possible for this to happen, particularly with a custom theme or plugins whose developer did not follow best practices.
I'd suggest using a search utility such as grep (grepwin is nice for Windows) to look within your files just to be sure if your domain appears or not.
Also, when doing a search and replace on the DB, remember to use a utility that is able to handle serialized arrays, since a simple string replacement will damage data. WP CLI's search-replace is one option. WP DB Migrate is really nice too.
Be sure to make a backup of everything before you make changes. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Get old values for post before saving new ones
I'm using the `save_post` hook to do some additional logic after a post has been saved.
However I need to find a way of getting the old values of the post, specifically in my case the slug/handle aka `post_name`.
Tried using the `wp_insert_post_data` filter to catch the post and add the old slug as an additional field pre save but that doesn't seem to work.
TL;DR want to achieve something like this:
public function post_sync( $post_id, $post, $update ) {
$post_new_handle = $post->post_name;
$post_old_handle = $post->post_old_name;
if($post_new_handle !== $post_old_handle) {
//additional logic
}
//additional logic
}
Any way of achieving this? Thanks. | The `post_updated` action gives you both old and new values as arguments before the new values are saved:

rest_post_query on multiple post types?
how do you get the rest_post_query filter to work across multiple post types? I'd like to modify the orderby for all post types but at the moment i have to specify "post" in the filter name, which means it doesn't work on the custom post types i've created?
add_filter("rest_post_query", function ($args) {
$args["orderby"] = "menu_order";
$args["order"] = "ASC";

add_filter( 'rest_page_query', 'wpse_299908_order_rest_query' );
There's no filter that automatically applies to all endpoints, likely for the same reason that you can't query multiple post types at once to begin with. As discussed during development of the API:
