Show metabox only for homepage
I'll try to add metabox to homepage with setting fields, but something went wrong, help me please. The metabox don't appear in page editor, when i remove `if statement` it shows on all pages.
add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'metabox_homepage_videos');
function metabox_homepage_videos($post)

if (is_front_page()):
add_meta_box('metabox-homepage-videos', __("Homepage Videos"), 'metabox_homepage_videos_callback', 'page', 'side', 'low');
endif;
} | `is_front_page()` is only for use on the front-end to tell if the 'main query' is for the front page. In a back end context you need to check if the current post ID (which is in the `$post` passed to your callback function) is the same ID that's set to be the front page.
So the if statement would look like this:
if ( $post->ID == get_option( 'page_on_front' ) ) :

WooCommerce Shop Page Not Found 404
I added WooCommerce to my WordPress site and the Shop page is giving a 404. This seems weird because the page is listed in my "Pages" area like this "Shop - Shop Page", but when I try to preview it is not found. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling WooCommerce and also deleted the Shop page and recreated one using the WooCommerce tools. I also fiddled with the permalinks page (screenshot below), but no luck. --Also the Cart Page and other woocommerce pages are not working. Thanks for any guidance you can give on this.

Redirect users on specific post category or category page
im trying to redirect users on specific categry with this hook:
// Show app-data posts only to app users
function user_redirect()
{
if ( is_category( 'app-data' ) ) {
$url = site_url();
wp_redirect( $url );
exit();
}
}
add_action( 'the_post', 'user_redirect' );
But its not working and i dont know why. it redirect if the user if browsing the category. i want to redirect if the user is browsing the category or a post of that category | ## Why it's not working?
There is one major problem with your code... You can't redirect after any html content was already sent... Such redirect will be ignored...
So why is your code incorrect? Because of `the_post` hook. This hook is fired up when the object of post is set up. So usually it's in the loop, which is much too late to do redirects...
## So how to fix your code?
Use another hook.
Here is the list of available hooks fired up during typical request.
One of the best hooks for doing redirects (and commonly used for that) is `template_redirect`. As you can see it's fired up just before getting header, so everything is already set up.
function redirect_not_app_users_if_app_data_category() {
if ( (is_category( 'app-data' ) || in_category('app-data'))&& ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
die;

Display post metadata: "title, category, author, date" with shortcode

Create new multisite from existing and keep domain?
Apologies if this is too basic a question, but I have an existing multisite installation and would like to move one of the subdirectory websites "out" and create a new multisite with it due to size and technical considerations.
The catch is I'd like to keep the current domain and not use a subdomain. So lets say my current multisite is mapped to example.com and has directories:
* example.com/apples
* example.com/bananas
* example.com/cherries
Is is possible to take create a new folder in public_html for 'bananas' and make example.com/bananas a new multisite installation?
Or will this not work because there's already an existing installation at the root and in the database, and its DNS is mapped to _example.com_?
Thanks! | Yes, you can set up multiple installs. You do need to be careful that you don't ever create anything in the "parent" multisite (at `example.com`) that has the same slug as the folder you place the "child" multisite (at `example.com/bananas`) - so in the bananas example, never create a Post, Page, Category, Tag, etc. with the slug `bananas` in the parent site.
You could also consider a Multi-Network - which is basically a MultiSite of MultiSites. Most plugins aren't compatible with these, so if you rely on a lot of plugins that may not be the way you want to go, but it can help ensure you don't have conflicting slugs that cause the "Do I show the actual folder, or the content at this slug?" conundrum. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

New custom PHP pages are getting 404s
When I create new php pages and try to visit them I am receiving a 404. For example, I have created the file `page-tacos.php` (stored in my child theme directory) but when I try to visit the URL at `localhost:8888/tacos` I am getting a 404.
I have added several custom pages in the past and whenever I was having this issue I would follow the advice from this question and it would fix my problem. However, now flushing my rewrite rules is not fixing it.
I have tried renaming my file to not include the 'page-' prefix, resaving my permalinks, and running `flush_rewrite_rules( false );` to no avail.
My .htaccess file has not changed.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? | Per the Template Hierarchy, creating the file `page-tacos.php` in your active theme will create the template that would be used to view the page with slug `tacos`, but it _doesn't create the page_.

Do I have to have a nonce for a custom comment field?
im working on my comment section and I have added a custom field
<input type="hidden" name="be_user_star_rating" id="be_user_star_rating" value="" />
Its value is beign set by Javascript.
Validating it with something like this:
add_action( 'comment_post', 'be_comment_rating_insert_comment', 10, 1 );
function be_comment_rating_insert_comment( $comment_id )

if( isset( $_POST['be_user_star_rating'] )

&& $_POST['be_user_star_rating'] <= 5
&& is_numeric($_POST['be_user_star_rating']) ) {
$val = (int) $_POST['be_user_star_rating'];
update_comment_meta( $comment_id, 'be_user_star_rating', esc_attr( $val ) );
}
}
Since this is hooked into `comment_post`, do I have to worry about checking custom nonces - beyond my validation? Or will Worpdress take care of it? | A WordPress Nonce, while not a _true_ nonce, functions similarly in that it exists to secure a form or page from unauthorized access and abuse.
By default, the WordPress Comment Form only displays a nonce field if the current user has the `unfiltered_html` capability.

htaccess redirect invoice.php to /client/invoice.php
I am looking at installing Wordpress into my WHMCS website and I would like to make it so any old invoices or support tickets go to the new subfolder.
Current links will look like this
What should I put in `.htaccess` so anyone who goes to those links will be redirected to:
| So, you just want to inject a `/client` subdirectory, for specific URLs, from the document root. You can do this using mod_rewrite, at the top of your `.htaccess` file ( _before_ the WordPress front-controller). For example:
RewriteRule ^view(invoice|ticket)\.php$ /client/$0 [R=302,L]
This will redirect either `/viewinvoice.php` or `/viewticket.php` to `/client/viewinvoice.php` and `/client/viewticket.php` respectively. The query string is passed through to the target unaltered.
The `$0` backreference in the _substitution_ refers to the URL-path that matches the entire `RewriteRule` _pattern_.
Note that this is currently a _temporary_ (302) redirect. Change the 302 to 301 if this is intended to be permanent, but only once you have confirmed it works OK (to avoid caching issues). Make sure your browser cache is cleared before testing. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to make a wordpress blog in two different languages?

Limit RSS feed to previous calendar month
I want to filter my RSS feed to only show posts in the previous calendar month. I have this code in my theme functions file but it is not working?
// filter the RSS feeds to show only the last calendar month
$lastMonthNumber = date( 'n', current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) - 1; // work out the previous month number
function feedFilter($query) {
if ($query->is_feed) {
$query->set('date_query', array(
array(
'month' => $lastMonthNumber
//'month' => 5
)
));
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','feedFilter');` | This approach doesn't work for January:
$lastMonthNumber = date( 'n', current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) - 1;
as it would give `1 - 1 = 0`.
Here's another suggestion, using the _string to time_ support of the date query:
$query->set( 'date_query', [
[
'after' => 'midnight first day of last month',
'inclusive' => true,
],
[
'before' => 'midnight first day of this month',
'inclusive' => false,
]
] );
For example this should generate:
wp_posts.post_date >= '2018-05-01 00:00:00' AND wp_posts.post_date < '2018-06-01 00:00:00'
if the current day is _27th of June 2018_.

How do I display SQL query on a specific page of my wordpress site
this is the query i want to display
**SELECT** `account_number`, `consumer_name`, `bill_amount`, `due_date`, `disco_date`, `bill_status` **FROM** `wp_bill_inquiry` **WHERE** `account_number` = _input_ **AND** `pin_number` = _input_

`$wpdb->prefix` will automatically print the prefix, then to convert the result in array form you can use the following snippet:
$result = json_decode(json_encode($result),true);

CSS not loaded when omitting www. part of URL
I have the following website: www.bibaboegifts.be.
* When giving in the URL < the CSS is loaded.
* However, when giving in the URL < ( **without the www. part** ), the CSS is not loaded. Only the content is displayed, but my lay-out is not applied.
Any idea why this is the case & how this can be resolved? | This can happen for several reasons - in your case, it looks like you are using a caching plugin that only recognizes `www` links. I suspect if you turned off caching you would not have that problem, but then you'd lose the benefits of caching.
It's best practice (with or without caching) to add redirects so only the www or non-www version of your website can be seen. You can add a line or two in your `.htaccess` file to enforce whichever you prefer - which in your case is probably `www`.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [R=301,L]
These 3 lines say, if someone tries to access your site without "www." in the URL, the server should always redirect them to the "www." version of that URL. This helps search engines know which version of your site you want indexed, and if you use SEO plugins that add canonical URLs, will help reinforce the 1 and only 1 version of each page that should be recognized. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Output Post with ACF Fields into other Post
I got a post that should be embeded, included or outputted - however you call it - into another post.
I prefer a solo code variant.
So far I have tested various shortcode plugins - but they don't seem to catch the attached acf fields of my post.
The embedded post is a wall of several elements that should be attached now to other posts.
Is this possible in Wordpress? In Drupal you can easily load a node content (page content) into the template of another.
How to achieve this in WP?
Is there a way to import a **RENDERED** version of a post with all of its contents (also acf fields)?
Thanks? | To not duplicate code you could make a file in your theme/child-theme for the html of the post which you intend to embed, let's say `x_cpt_render_html.php`:
function get_x_cpt_html(){ ?>
<div class="x-cpt">
<h2> <?php the_title(); ?> </h2>
<div class="content"> <?php the_content(); ?></div>
<div class="custom"> <?php the_field('custom'); ?> </div>
</div><?php
}
Then you could embed this file in the `single.php` or wherever it's needed anyway for display for that particular custom post type:
get_template_part('x_cpt_render_html');
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
get_x_cpt_html();
endwhile;
Somewhat similar where you want to embed it:
$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'that_post_type',
'posts_per_page' => -1,);
get_template_part('x_cpt_render_html');
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
get_x_cpt_html();

Insert Sponsor logo in custom own theme

Current category link filter

<ul>
<?php $args = array(
'title_li' => '',
'taxonomy' => 'cat_projet',
'hide_empty' => false,
);
wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>
</ul>

I know I could do it in javascript, but i prefer doing it in php, like using some "current taxonomy link" filter if it exists. | Internally `wp_list_categories()` uses `get_term_link()` for the URL of the terms. That function can be filtered using the `term_link` filter, so you could filter any links to the current term and replace them with links to the post type archive:

Creating User Profiles using author.php
I am trying to create a user profile template using author.php. However, the template remains blank if I try to see the profile of a user that has not created any posts.
www.website.com/author/user1 -> Has written Posts -> Template shows User info
www.website.com/author/user2 -> Subscriber account -> template remains empty
How can I tell Wordpress to fill in the information for every user?
Edit: My Code so far:
<?php
get_header();
$userID = get_the_author_meta('ID');
$user = get_userdata($userID);
?>
<div class="profile-wrapper">
<div class="row justify-content-center user-info">
<div class="col-lg-5 text-center">
<span><?php echo get_avatar($user->ID, 150) ?></span>
<h2 class="heading-semibig"><?php echo $user->display_name ?></h2>
</div>
</div>
</div> | `get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )` gets the ID of the author of the current post. If there's no post there's no author.
Use `get_queried_object_id()` instead. When used on author archives (i.e. author.php) it will be the ID of the author, regardless of whether or not they have posts. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to move a WordPress Localhost straight to an online site?

The .org is what is used for hosting your own WordPress website on your hosting provider.
The .com is hosting your website using WordPress.com's systems. There are some major differences between the two and it's critical that you understand them.
First and foremost hosting on .com has severe restrictions on the themes and plugins that you can use. Ultimately you are limited to what is approved by WordPress.com.
Hosting your own domain allows you much more control over your website, the themes, and plugins you can use.
To my knowledge, there is no way to upload your locally developed website to WordPress.com. You can however deploy it to your own hosting provider. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Prevent wordpress autoredirect
I've got a problem. My client has taken ads with ex.com/helloworld as the short URL to their new page.
No problem, I'll do a htaccess redirect on it, redirect the shorturl to the right page (which is ex.com/careers/helloworld-recruiting)
But theres a page on my site which is ex.com/services/helloworld, and for some reason, the htaccess redirect is bypassed in favor of the automatic wordpress URL recognition redirect.
So how can I ask Wordpress to kindly fuck off so I can use my own redirect instead of his?

`RewriteRule ^helloworld/$ //careers/helloworld-recruiting/ [L,R=301]` | Not really a WP-specific question, but I'll help you out. That regex will match `ex.com/helloworld/` but not `ex.com/helloworld`.
To handle both you'd want `RewriteRule ^helloworld/?$ /careers/helloworld-recruiting/ [L,R=301]`
The question mark makes the preceding token optional and the single slash rather than double in the rewritten URL makes it relative to the root. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Hide empty custom field
I've created a custom field in Woocommerce to link to games that have the same title but are on different platforms. It basically shows **Also available on:** XBox One or PS4. It works well but when the field is empty it shows only **Also available on:** which looks sloppy and is confusing.

Is there an event or an other method that tells me the preview is loaded?
I'm working on a Plugin for the WordPress Customizer and need to call a function when the previewer has loaded. Is there an event or an other method that tells me the preview is loaded?
If have tried:
jQuery(window).load (function() { // Customizer loaded...
wp.customize.previewer.bind( 'refresh', function() { // doesn't seem to work ?!
alert ('Previewer has loaded');
}
}
I've also tried `wp.customizer.bind('refresh', function (){`
Is there no event that gets fired when the preview is loaded? The refresh event gets fired when the previewer gets refreshed.
Any ideas? | Yes, this is the way to detect when the preview has loaded:
wp.customize.bind( 'ready', function() {
wp.customize.previewer.bind( 'ready', function( message ) {
console.info( 'Preview is loaded' );
} );
} );

How to load a template-part based on a url wildcard?
I'm trying to create a agenda in a custom Wordpress theme. On the agenda page there is a simple page-agenda.php template that will include some code that handles the index of the agenda. Quite simple.
But now I would like to 'listen' to the URL that contains a detail page of an agenda item. For example /agenda/1/event-name.
When I visit the above URL I get an page not found error. And when I try to load a template file based on the init hook of wordpress, no content seems to be added to the page and I keep getting the page-not-found page.
SO. How would I load a .php template file base on a URL wildcard like /agenda/1/event-name? So I can show the event data and not get a 404 message.
Thanks! | I ended up with this solution in `functions.php`, thanks to the offical Wordpress documentation at: <
First added a custom rewrite rule like so:
function custom_rewrite_rule() {
add_rewrite_rule(
'^agenda/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?',
'index.php?page_id=10&agenda_id=$matches[1]&agenda_name=$matches[2]',
'top' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'custom_rewrite_rule', 10, 0 );
Then this needed to be added:
function prefix_register_query_var( $vars ) {
$vars[] = 'agenda_id';
$vars[] = 'agenda_name';
return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'prefix_register_query_var' );
Now URL's such as /agenda/1/event-title work like a charm! And passes the variables needed.

SQL query to set posts in bulk based on the post content
I have thousands of offline links in my posts, and I'd like to set them all to draft. I know the links are in the format example.com/fileX. So I needed a SQL query to search the post content and whatever post that contain that url will be set to draft.
I think this might be a good start:
UPDATE tb_posts
SET post_status = 'draft'
WHERE
But I don't know to do the search inside the WHERE clause. I intend to use ARI Adminer Plugin to edit the database. | Look into MySQL Wildcards.
The correct MySQL Query for your search should be
WHERE tb_posts.post_content LIKE "%example.com%"
You should also be sure that you only target published posts (in contrast to nav_menu_items, revisions etc). Expand your WHERE with this:
AND tb_posts.post_type IN ('post','page',*All Posttypes you use additionally*) AND tb_posts.post_status = 'publish'
So your complete Query should look like this (assuming that you only use posts and pages):
UPDATE tb_posts
SET post_status = 'draft'
WHERE post_content LIKE "%example.com%"
AND post_type IN ('post','page')
AND post_status = 'publish'

Question on templates
I'm using a free theme called Ocean WP that has a folder called 'templates'
I thought I could just save over one of the templates and rename it and construct a template (which I need for custom post types/ Advanced Custom Fields).
However when I tried the above it threw an error.
My question is - what should I be looking for with regards to building templates.
Of course the easiest way to build a template is to just copy the page.php and give it a new name but that seems to be the wrong approach given that there is a folder called 'templates'
Thanks for all direction | The folder is just where Ocean WP's developers chose to store its templates. It's not something for you to do anything with. If you want to create your own custom template you need to create a Child Theme and create the template there. If you create or modify files in a theme they will be erased if/when the theme is updated. Creating a Child Theme avoids this issue.
Regarding the error, putting a file into a theme wouldn't throw an error on its own. You likely had a syntax error in the code of the template. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Modify automatically generation of slug when term is created
I need modify the sanitize of slug when a **term** is created. For example I'm creating a term with name 0,5 and the slug automatically generated is 05. I need to add a dash in the position of the comma, the spected slug will be 0-5.
It's possible to do it overridind the code in theme functions.php?
SOLVED:
add_action('wp_insert_term_data', 'slug_save_term_callback', 10, 3 );
function slug_save_term_callback($data, $taxonomy, $args) {
$name = $data['name'];
$name = str_replace(',', '-', $name);
$data['slug'] = $name;
return $data;
}
Thanks | You will have bugs like this. because you are not sanitizing the title with `sanitize_title()`.
And you are not checking for duplications with `wp_unique_term_slug()`
Bugs tests:
1. Add spaces in the name and see the slug with spaces.
2. After you add the `sanitize_title()` add term with comma 5,5 add term with space 5 5 results with duplications.
So just fix this like this:
add_action('wp_insert_term_data', 'slug_save_term_callback', 10, 3 );
function slug_save_term_callback($data, $taxonomy, $args) {
$name = $data['name'];

Allow users from my ASP.Net MVC site to access my private WordPress site

3. Server-side: retrieve cookies from wp-login.php response

Hide icon and rating when there is no rating entered

if ( ! empty( $rating ) ) { ?>
<span class="js-average-rating"><i class="star"></i> <?php echo $rating; ?></span>

Error in Validate Field with ACF plugin in Wordpress
I have the following problem when I am validating a field with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin in wordpress.

function validate_fields_contact()
{
add_filter('acf/validate_value/name=phone_contact', 'validate_phone_number', 10, 4);

function validate_phone_number($valid, $value, $field, $input)
{
if (!$valid) {
return $valid;
}
if(!preg_match("/^\+XX(\s|\d){8,12}$/", $value)) {
return __('Incorrect Format.');
}
return true;
}
**It should be like that:**
 before get_header() and run before any html is output?
2. Does your theme contain call to wp_head()?
3. Does your theme contain call to wp_foot()?
4. Are your deferring the loading of JavaScript or otherwise altering the way that JavaScript is loaded on the page?
(Look at this ACF support topic too. If you use acf_form() for creating new user look at this topic).
But in my case the root was is_admin() in this line into the 'acf/validate_value' hook:
if ( ! $valid || is_admin() ) { return $valid; }
**Because is_admin() returns 'true' by AJAX requests**. As a result, the validate function didn't work.

Styling the website via the customizer - do the changes stay after theme update?
If I customize a theme via the Customizer, do these changes get over-written with the theme update?
I have tested it on TwentySeventeen as well as on the free version of the Agama theme, and the changes stayed. But I want to understand why these changes stay when changes done directly to the theme files get over-written. Where does the customizer save the changes?
Thank you. | It's not really the Customizer that stores the changes, sort of. All changes to a theme's settings are done by the theme settings code, and are stored (usually) in the wp-options table (although a theme might have it's own table where it stores settings).
So, if you make changes via the theme's Customizer interface, the theme stores that in the database. If you change to a new theme, there will be settings for that theme that are stored in another spot in the database. Then if you change back to the first theme, it should read the settings that you set before.
Depending on the theme, uninstalling/deleting the theme might remove all the settings for that theme, so if you reinstall that theme again, you'll have to start all over.
Some themes may 'share' settings between themes, but again this is all the responsibility of the theme's code, which uses the Customizer API to display and save settings. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Third param is:
> **$capability** _(string)_ (Required) The capability required for this menu to be displayed to the user.

> This function takes a ‘capability’ (see Roles and Capabilities) which will be used to determine whether or not a page is included in the menu. The function which is hooked in to handle the output of the page must check that the user has the required ‘capability’ as well.
As you can see, you should use capability (for example `manage_options`, `publish_posts`) and not user role (`editor`, `subscriber`) as that param.

wp_get_nav_menu_items vs wp_nav_menu
I'm a novice WordPress developer and I'm looking for best way to build custom WordPress menu.
I have found two server side ways to do that, but i don't understand deeper difference of them
The menu might build with the wp_nav_menu function and for that need crate extends class of Walker_Nav_Menu. For that need have a copy of the main class in your theme and change more code as well
Or we can use wp_get_nav_menu_items function, by giving it the menu location to get the array of all items to build html output. It will be more simple and easy and no need to understand complicated Walker class
So, what the best way to build the menu or what the main difference of these functions.
Thanks | `wp_get_nav_menu_items` function retrieves an array of menu items for given menu. But the menu is a hierarchy, so there is a need of creating some mechanism that will create that hierarchy based on list of menu items.
On the other hand there already is `wp_nav_menu`, that will get items for that menu (using `wp_get_nav_menu_items`) and then it will pass it to Walker class that will generate HTML code for this menu. This function will also take care of cases when given menu doesn't exist and so on. It is the recommended way to display menu in themes.
PS. I don't get why you think that you "have to" write your own Walker class. You certainly don't. WP will use it's own Walker class as default. And if you want to customize the HTML code for that menu, you can write filters and it will be enough most of the times... | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I copy all users to newly created site on a multisite network in Wordpress?
As when I create a new site on multisite wordpress network, then only admin user gets created. I want all users which are present on my first site to be present here too. I have tried several import and export csv plugins, but nothing is working right. Is there any other plugin? | I guess I have found perfect solution for it. There is a plugin called **_Multisite User Management_**. It easily does the task.
Just Activate it and go to Network Admin -> Settings -> Network Settings
Then there will be section called **Multisite User Management**. Just assign the role (which is to be given to users) for that particular site. And Save it, automatically all users will be copied to the new site. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Custom menus displaying all pages instead of set pages
Edit, complete function -
function themename_setup() {
// WordPress Menu Locations
register_nav_menus(array(
'primary' => esc_html__( 'Primary', 'themename' ),
'footer ' => esc_html__( 'Footer', 'themename' ),
));
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', themename_setup' );
The primary menu works exactly as expected
I've set up a foot menu location in my `functions.php` file;
register_nav_menus(array(
'primary' => esc_html__( 'Primary', 'themename' ),
'footer ' => esc_html__( 'Footer', 'themename' ),
));
In the admin, I've created a new menu and assigned it to this new location.
However, when I output this menu the menu items retrieved are all of the pages from the admin.
`<?php wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'footer')); ?>`
I only want the pages that have been assigned to this menu | It's pretty easy then... And it works exactly how it should...
You register menu `'footer '` \- there's a space at the end (so you have two locations defined `'primary'` and `'footer '`).
And then you use it as `'footer'` \- without that space. There is no such location defined anywhere ;) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to get WordPress Username in Array format

var availableTags = <?php echo json_encode($get_arr_user); ?>;
$( "#user-name" ).autocomplete({
source: availableTags
});
});
</script>
My problem is that I am not able to get the list of **Usernames** in this format - `array('John', 'Rogers', 'Paul', 'Amanda', 'Peter');` How do I get that? | The other answers are correct, but it's possible to achive the same thing with less code using `wp_list_pluck()`:
$users = get_users();
$user_names = wp_list_pluck( $users, 'display_name' );
`wp_list_pluck()` used that way will get the `display_name` field of all the users in an array without needing to do a loop. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Exact Hook to payment methods

public function create_memberplan_after_update_order($order){
$order = wc_get_order($order);

Force the “Choose from the most used tags” meta box section to always be expanded
I'm looking to have the "most used tags" link within the tag meta box on the post page always be expanded. Couldn't find any helpful plugins to use.
I did find this previous post but the function doesn't seem to be working anymore - I'm wondering if something has changed since that was in 2012. | You can do this using jQuery.
First of all, you need to add your script into your `functions.php`
function my_theme_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'expand-tags', get_site_url() . '/js/expand-tags.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0', true );
}
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_scripts' );
Then, in your file (`expand-tags.js`) which is located on, for example, `public_html/mysite/js/`, you will have to have something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#link-post_tag").trigger("click");
});
**link-post_tag** is the ID of the _Choose from the most used tags_ button, so when the page is loaded, a button click will be triggered. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Unfamiliar query string in Google Search Console URL not found

Is there an easy way to do it without messing with the theme?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Function to activate WordPress theme inside a plugin

It:

It's the same value that you'd use for a child theme, something like `twentythirteen`.) It also accepts an additional function signature of two arguments: $template then $stylesheet. This is for backwards compatibility.
And why is that any better? WordPress uses filters and actions for many things. For example, when you switch the theme, the unused widgets will get saved, so you can restore them in new sidebars... All of that won’t be done, if you switch the theme directly in DB. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it possible to duplicate users on a new Wordpress install?
I have a running site (Site A).
I want to re-write the site fully to improve everything but, when I'm finished, I don't want to have to get everyone to sign up to the new site.

And would all my existing users then have full access to Site B (the new site) ?
Or is there more to it than this?
Thanks | Migrate DB Pro can help with this, make sure to migrate any plugin tables and the WP_Users and WP_Usermeta tables if your users make posts and you want that content to remain assigned an available make sure to keep WP_Posts and WP_Postmeta table as well.

How to add custom classes to the customizer panels, sections or controls?
I must add custom classes to the customizer panels, sections and controls. I checked the WP Codex, but I didn't find any information. How to do it? | The customizer is rendered by several classes.

Why does WordPress hide the reset password key from the URL?
I'm currently working on a WordPress plugin of my own that involves a custom login interface. I'm wondering, why is it that when you reset your password on WP-Admin, WordPress stores the reset password key in a cookie rather retrieve it from the URL through `$_GET`?

Is it for security reasons? Most probably. But does it really make the process more secure? It's a little bit hard to say...
