How to display custom taxonomy term meta on custom post type
I am new to custom taxonomies, and created a taxonomy with 3 term meta fields using the generator on wp-hasty.com
The taxonomy and new fields show up properly on the back end, and I am able to save to them.
My problem is displaying them on the front end.
I have a custom post type named "paint", and my taxonomy is named "colors", and the term meta fields are named "blue", "red", and "green". The term meta fields are regular text fields with text in them.
I would like to display the contents of "blue", "red", and "green" on my custom post type page, if the page has the taxonomy tag colors.
Online I found `get_term_meta()`, but I couldn't get it right.
I appreciate all help. Please let me know if I'm not being clear enough with my question. | **1.** If you need to display this informations once. For example in the page header, use get_queried_object().
echo get_term_meta( get_queried_object()->term_id, 'blue', true );
echo get_term_meta( get_queried_object()->term_id, 'red', true );
echo get_term_meta( get_queried_object()->term_id, 'green', true );
**2.** If you need to display this informations in the each post, you must create a small loop.
$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'colors');
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$term_id = $term->term_id;
echo get_term_meta( $term_id, 'blue', true );
echo get_term_meta( $term_id, 'red', true );
echo get_term_meta( $term_id, 'green', true );

Flamingo's Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 ... wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2516

How to locate where an element is generated?
I am trying to find where an element is generated (`<div class="slicknav_menu">`), this normally is easy, I just search on the theme folder for the class name (I normally use Grep for Windows and it "always" works), but I do not find it anywhere, at first I thought it may be generated by a plugin, but I disable them all and the element was still there, I changed to a default theme and it got removed, so I know it's generated by the theme but I am not able to find where is it.
What do you do in similar situations?
I am not sharing links to my website or the theme since I think it's more important to know how to solve similar issues in general. | SlickNav looks to be a "Responsive Mobile Menu Plugin for jQuery". Your theme probably ships with it. It's written in JavaScript so try greping for the class name `slicknav_menu` in the JavaScript files included with the theme.
As an aside, another debugging tip for next time:
Most browser dev tools allow you to disable JavaScript. If you can't find something in the PHP, try disabling JS on the page and reloading. If the _$thing_ is not there anymore, it's almost certainly due to JS. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Embedded Options in a Custom Metabox
I am successfully able to create a number of custom metaboxes. There are a number of tutorials online that help with that.
My question is how to include embedded options in a custom metabox?

. And what I want to do is something similar. I know I can achieve that with JavaScript/AJAX, but I like to know if there are already pre-written methods in WordPress and a process to follow for creating that part of the metabox so that I do not re-invent the wheel.
Thanks. | After a long investigation, it turned out that there isn't any WordPress method that generates that information via methods/functions. That functionality should be built manually.

Why is wp api returning old acf values?
I have a list of custom post types (Events) with ACF fields for start and end dates that I'm getting using WP-API. I'm using the fetch api to make the calls. I have the acf-to-rest-api plugin installed and activated. I'm using the lastest versions of everything.
I changed the start and end date fields of an event after it had been created. The new values are displayed in the post editor, and when I dig into the actual database it's got the correct updated values. But the WP-API call is return the old value. What could be going on?

Matching slug terms from one array to those in array of WP_Term objects to output term names
I'm using WordPress's `get_terms` to return an array of `WP_Term` objects containing the term_id, name, slug, etc. for the child terms of a given taxonomy. I've saved this array to `$tax_terms`. I have a different array—`$active_filters`—containing just the _slugs_ of terms that match certain taxonomy terms; for instance, from a `var_dump` of `$active_filters`:
array (size=3)
0 => string 'term-1' (length=6)
1 => string 'term-2' (length=6)
2 => string 'term-3' (length=6)
I'm wondering if there's a way I can run a `foreach` that will compare this array of term slugs to those in the array returned by `get_terms` and return the `name` for any matched slug? So, the example above would output "Term 1", "Term 2", "Term 3". I've tried using `array_search` but to no avail, thus far. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. | Perhaps array_map ?
This will give you an array of term names which matched your slugs in $active_filters:
$matched_terms = array_map(function($term) use ($active_filters){
if(in_array($term->slug, $active_filters)){
return $term->name;
}
else{
return false;
}
}, $tax_terms);
//remove the empty array elements which came from terms which didn't match a slug

Find a Javascript ID when trying to deregister?

How to stop ultimate members to redirect comment authors to user profile?

PHP code printed into CSS classes
So, I'm working on a site. I didn't develop and I don't have access to the developers. The site uses a custom designed Bootstrap based theme, built with Page Builder. I just moved the site to a development server, and added myself a user and updated. The issue I'm having seems to be that one of the functions that write the page's HTML is messing up somewhere, and printing PHP into the CSS classes. The page's theme renders correctly on the production server, but don't write the correct class and style attributes on the dev server.
The output HTML with the PHP is
`<div class="spacer spacer-60"></div></div></div></div></section><section data-anchor-title="Profile" data-anchor="profile" id="profile" class="<?print implode(' ',$classes); ?>" style="<?print implode(';',$styles); ?>">`
I've poked around in the theme files, and there isn't an obvious place where the app is choking on this.
Thanks | Well, previous developer was a little bit naughty (;)) and used PHP short tags, which is a bad practice... And even worse - he used them a little bit wrong, I guess...
As you can see, there is something like this in your code:
style="<?print implode(';',$styles); ?>">
Of course there is no such thing like `<?print` in PHP, it should be `<? print`.
But you shouldn't use short tags (`<?`). They're turned off on some servers, so here's how to fix it:
`<div class="spacer spacer-60"></div></div></div></div></section><section data-anchor-title="Profile" data-anchor="profile" id="profile" class="<?php print implode(' ', $classes); ?>" style="<?php print implode(';', $styles); ?>">`

Create WooCommerce Product Category Programmatically
I am having trouble creating a `woocommerce` product category programmatically. I plan to automate the creation of product categories based on the creation of a new term in a specified `custom taxonomy`. Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you. | To create a taxonomy term programmatically you can use `wp_insert_term` function.
<?php wp_insert_term( $term, $taxonomy, $args = array() ); ?>
It has 3 params:
> **$term** (int|string) (required) The term to add or update. Default: None
>
> **$taxonomy** (string) (required) The taxonomy to which to add the term. Default: None
>
> **$args** (array|string) (optional) Change the values of the inserted term Default: None
WooCommerce categories are stored as terms in `product_cat` taxonomy, so if you want to create some new category, you can use this code:
wp_insert_term( 'My New Category', 'product_cat', array(
'description' => 'Description for category', // optional
'parent' => 0, // optional
'slug' => 'my-new-category' // optional

What is stored in the webserver? (Separated Database)
Assuming a classified website where real estate agents post their houses advertisement for rent or sale
When I built the server, I separated the database and the webserver
> Database Server: Ubuntu and MariaDB only
>
> Webserver: Ubuntu, Nginx, PHP, Redis, Wordpress
I have been wondering all the time what is actually being stored in webserver.
Say, if I destroy the webserver and create a new set of webserver (of course complete with all the same Wordpress plugin + theme), what do I lose?
I think I will only lose the house images that are uploaded by the house agents?
Also, is there any guide to do set up load balancer? Couldn't find a good one so far.
Thanks heaps | The WP database contains **everything** that is related to content: posts, pages, theme settings, plugin settings, media of all kinds. So if you were to replace the WP database with a brand-new WP database, **all of your content** \- and many of your settings - **will be gone**.
The WP 'code' (PHP, CSS, JS source files) is stored in the wp-xxxxx folders, plus the site root. Some CSS might be stored in the WP database, but the 'core' code is in the site root and the wp-xxxxx folders.

For example:
> For this custom post type, my shortcode is this `[shortcode]`.

printf('<h4>%s</h4>', __('Your description here.') ); // echo
return $views; // return original input unchanged

Want to create Child theme, but already edited Parent theme css files and some php files
I downloaded a WP theme and edited some `php` files and the `css` file to my liking (trial and error), and have been using that on my website - but didn't create a child theme. This means any updates I do to the parent theme, will override my changes - so I've done no updates so far.

Or should I just scrap the theme entirely, look for a new theme and create a child immediately out of that before I make any edits? | In case you have access to the original theme files you can compare them using a tool for that purpose such as this, then when you identify which are the modified files you load those files to your child theme.

Preventing double loading JS scripts (like React) when developing for Gutenberg

If two different plugins rely on the same dependencies, thanks to the enqueue logic, those dependencies will only be loaded once.
`create-guten-block` only contains javascript relevant to the custom block itself, and sets `wp-blocks`, `wp-i18n`, and `wp-element` (the abstraction layer WP uses on top of React) as its dependencies. See /src/init.php of the generated block code. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Set tags for a post - without tag creation
I can use `wp_set_post_tags` to set tags for a post. According to documentation,
> Every tag that does not already exist will be automatically created
I **don't** want to automatically create tag if tag does not exit?
So is there any function can I use? | OK, so you have something like this:
$new_tags = array( 'tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3' );
wp_set_post_tags( $post_ID, $new_tags );
If you want to add only tags that already exist, then you have to filter your tags array:
$new_tags = array( 'tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3' );
$existing_tags = array();
foreach ( $new_tags as $t ) {
if ( term_exists( $t, 'post_tag' ) ) {
$existing_tags[] = $t;
}
}
wp_set_post_tags( $post_ID, $existing_tags );
Or a shorter version:
$new_tags = array( 'tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3' );
wp_set_post_tags( $post_ID, array_filter( $new_tags, 'tag_exists' ) ); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to make the first letter of a post title uppercase, in a plugin?
I'm making a plugin that makes the first letter of the first word in a post title uppercase, if it was lowercase. I'm a beginner, so it's simple, but even so I struggle! The plugin can be activated without errors but it doesn't have the desired effect. Here's the code:
<?php
//Changes the first letter of post titles to uppercase
function shikharfirstletter() {
$title = get_the_title();
$title_first_letter = substr($title, 0);
if($title_first_letter = 'a') {
return str_replace($title_first_letter, 'A', $title);
}
elseif($title_first_letter = 'b') {
return str_replace($title_first_letter, 'B', $title);
}
//So on for the other letters...
}
add_filter( 'wp_title', 'shikharfirstletter' );
?>
Any idea where I'm going wrong? | As maverick said in the comments, you need to accept the arguments which come along with the filter.
Try this
function shikharfirstletter($title) {
$title = ucfirst($title);
return $title;
}
add_filter( 'wp_title', 'shikharfirstletter', 10, 1 );

WordPress front page empty, however, there is content on website
I am trying to set a simple informative WordPress site. I installed a theme called " **Stacy** " and trying to edit the home page now.
If I go to the `wp-admin -> pages -> Home -- Front Page` it seems to be empty, however, when I navigate to home page of my website or click or "preview changes" there is a full working home page already set.
Beginner with WordPress and this is driving me insane now...
**How can I edit the home page?** | I can't comment yet, so I'll have to put this as an answer :-)
What do you see when you go to Settings / Reading, in the section that says "Your homepage displays"?
If it is set to "Your latest posts", the home page will be aggregating your post content and won't be using a particular page.
Another thing to check, when you go to the "Home -- Front Page", what is set under "Page Attributes" and "Templates" on the right hand side? If it is using a custom template, the content may all be coming from here? | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Add audio file to post using custom term meta field as link
I am trying to add an audio file to my custom post type using a custom term meta field as a link, but I can't get it right.
Here is how I would normally display a custom term meta field:
<?php $terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'taxonomy-name');
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$term_id = $term->term_id;
echo get_term_meta( $term_id, 'term-meta-field-name', true );
}?>
I'm assuming I have to turn it into a variable, but I'm not sure how. Any ideas?
<?php echo do_shortcode([audio src="link"]); ?>
Thanks! | I figured it out!
Using this code I was able to use my custom meta field as the link in the audio shortcode.
First I created a function in functions.php:
function audio_link() {
$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'taxonomy-name');
$result = "";
if (is_array($terms) || is_object($terms)){
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$term_id = $term->term_id;
$result .= get_term_meta( $term_id,
'term-meta-field-name', true );
}
}
return $result;
}
Then I inserted the function into the shortcode like this:
`<?php echo do_shortcode('[audio src="'. audio_link() .'"]');?>`

Wordpress loading very slow on MAMP Pro
I've just installed MAMP and MAMP Pro on my Mac system and my Wordpress install is running extremely slow on MAMP Pro (much slower than it would on a remote server).
The actual content of the site is loading fast - it's only when I try to access any backend content that everything slows down to a crawl.
Any input on the potential reasons for this? | The local web server being slow is something that bugs me as well. Some tips might help:
I think it is all about the database.
1. Check that you connect to the correct MySQL port (8889 is default). Even though 3306 (MySQL default) might work, changing to the "correct" gave me a boost.
2. In addition, you can try to connect to 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. You might need to check "Allow network access to MySQL" within the MAMP PRO MySQL config.
These settings helped me, though I am not completely happy with the response time. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress Baskerville 2 translation
I don't understand how translation works in Wordpress. I made my first wordress using Baskerville 2 theme and I would like it to be translated in French.
How does it work ? | It's quite well explained here: <
Basically ensure that all plain text uses the get_text functions with a text domain for your theme: <
Add code to 'Load' any translations <
Once you have done that, IF translations exist they will be used. THEN to get the translations.
This is also useful **<
There are a number of tools/plugins available to actually provide the translated texts. See here for some: < Often the non-english users of a plugin or theme will voluntarily contribute a translation .po file to the developer.
I used to like the 'wordpress-plugin-codestyling-localization' as easiest for people new to translating, but sadly it's been not that usable for a few years. I don't have a preferred tool at the moment for actually translating the texts, but googling indicates various ideas from others for alternatives if non of the tools in the link above suit you. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Show weekly posts statistic in WordPress
I create a table in the footer.
I would like to show some statistics, like total posts, weekly posts, total posts of the specific category.
I just echo total posts with `wp_count_posts()->publish;`
What can I do for the other one? | You already have the total post, so in order to get the total post within the last week, it's better if you do this on your `functions.php` file:
function get_posts_count_from_last_week($post_type ='post') {
global $wpdb;
$numposts = $wpdb->get_var(
$wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT COUNT(ID) ".
"FROM {$wpdb->posts} ".
"WHERE ".
"post_status='publish' ".
"AND post_type= %s ".
"AND post_date> %s",
$post_type, date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-168 hours'))
)
);
return $numposts;
}
And then use it in the footer.
<?php echo get_posts_count_from_last_week(); ?>
To work with categories we could use WP_Query:
$args = array(
'cat' => 4,
'post_type' => 'videos'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
echo $the_query->found_posts; | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What should happen if you dont have 100 Products?
Or do you want to show just **all** products?
Anyway, you can try changing the query parameters (specifically here the `posts_per_page` parameter) on product category pages only.
You can use a WooCommerce hook to do this.

function my_custom_query_code( $query ){
// only on product category pages, no other archives
if ( is_product_category() ) {
$limit = '100'; // the number of products
// set the new "posts_per_page" parameter
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', $limit );

How do I set the url to make an ajax request for a html document?
I have a javacript file that uses ajax to load an html document, but WordPress changes the url. Is there a way to set the url so that WordPress doesn’t change it?
var file = ‘test/file.html’;
WordPress appends the file to `/wp-admin/` and sets the path to `
When I change the file path to ` WordPress still uses the ajaxurl global variables and sets the path to the `wp-admin` directory. Here's the code:
return $.ajax({
type: 'get',
dataType: 'html',
url: file,
success: function (resp) {
alert(‘Success’);
},
error: function (jqXHR) {
alert('Error ‘);
}
}); | Yes, there is such way: you should pass absolute path in there...
Let's say your JS file is enqueued like this:
wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script', 'path-to-js-file.js'... );
Then you should use `wp_localize_script` and pass the value in there:
wp_localize_script( 'my-script', 'MyScriptData', array( 'ajax_url' => site_url('/test/file.html') ) );
Then you can access this value in your JS file this way:
return $.ajax({
type: 'get',
dataType: 'html',
url: MyScriptData.ajax_url, // <-- here you get that value...
success: function (resp) {
alert(‘Success’);
},
error: function (jqXHR) {
alert('Error ‘);
}
});

how to get the assigned child term of the term's parent

wp_delete_user with username
`wp_delete_user()` function requires user ID and [optional] reassign ID if the content is to be reassigned to another user.
All users' user names are also unique as WP doesn't allow duplicate user names. If I know username, is there no way with just one PHP/mysqli query I can delete the user instead of run one query to find ID of that user first and then tell wordpress to delete that user ? | There is no way to do this with only one query. But to be honest - deleting user takes more than one query itself...
You shouldn’t use custom SQL for that, because there are many things you could break this way... Always use WP functions, if they exists (what if some plugin logs every deleted user, or what if some other action is needed, etc.)
You can use `get_user_by` to achieve that. Here's the example:
$user = get_user_by( 'login', 'john' );
if ( $user ) { // get_user_by can return false, if no such user exists
wp_delete_user( $user->ID );
}

I would like to get only the `categoryname1` entry.
What did I do wrong?
Has this something to do with the special permalink configuration for the category-base? | On category archives (or any the archive for any taxonomy term) you can get the current term with `get_queried_object()`.
If you just need the ID you can use `get_queried_object_id()`.
If you want to output the name of the term, you can use `single_term_title()`.

Why .widget-area is outside of .site-content in Underscores starter theme?

footer#colophon.site-footer

Load JS Script only for custom post types
I am using this code and I am not sure why the script is not loaded. I believe the syntax is correct since I am trying to load the script only on the "events" custom post type single posts.
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse_login_enqueue_scripts', 10 );
function wpse_login_enqueue_scripts() {
if( is_single() && get_post_type()=='events' ){
wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap', ' array('jquery'), '3.3.5', true );
}
} | To enqueue scripts on the front-end, the hook should be `wp_enqueue_scripts`, not `login_enqueue_scripts`.
Also, a better way to see if you’re on a single custom post type is to use `is_singular()` and pass the post type you want to check:
if ( is_singular( 'events' ) ) {
}
`get_post_type()` relies on the global `$post` object, and not the main query. They're often the same but under some circumstances the `$post` object might not be the same post as the current single post. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

disable a wp javascript on live website, but not on wp-admin page
I have a wp javascript, **wp-embed.min.js** , disabled on my WordPress theme by adding this sample code to my theme's function.php file:
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'my_deregister_javascript', 100 );
function my_deregister_javascript() {
wp_deregister_script( 'wp-embed' );
}
The problem is that the javascript is disabled everywhere, including in the wp-admin page, and one of the plugins I want to use requires it to work.
Is there a way to disable a specific wordpress javascript only on the live website, but not on wp-admin pages?
Thanks | You can do a simple is_admin() check before dequeuing your script like below:
**Code** :
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'my_deregister_javascript', 100 );

How to delete default themes
Is it possible to delete the default Themes (Twenty Eleven, Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen …) automatically … or - even better - disable the automatic re-installation on when updating WordPress?
I've read this question and i know that many consider it useful to have at least on of this themes. But i never used one of these and just want them gone ;) | My approach is to delete the default themes using ftp or your control panel file-manager once you have your site up and running.
These themes will not be re-installed when you update Wordpress, and will not show up in your update notifications.
I usually **keep the TwentySixteen theme** on the system as this is the fallback theme in case you have problems with your installed theme. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WooCommerce HTML after short description if product is in specific category
I want to show HTML text after the short description on the product page, but only on specific products that are in a specific category (categories).
I think I have to use in_category, but I can't figure out how to display the text right after the short description.
My preference is to work with a function/filter/action.
This code works:
function filter_woocommerce_short_description( $post_excerpt ) {
$your_msg='Test';
return $post_excerpt.'<br>'.$your_msg;
};
add_filter( 'woocommerce_short_description','filter_woocommerce_short_description',10, 1 );
But this one works on all product pages.. | Woocommerce's product categories are custom taxonomy terms, so you need to use the taxonomy functions (eg, `has_term()`) rather than WordPress' category ones.
function filter_woocommerce_short_description( $post_excerpt ) {
global $post;
if ( has_term( "term-name", "product_cat", $post->ID ) ) {
$post_excerpt .= "<br/>" . "Test";
}
return $post_excerpt;

Check what Gutenberg blocks are in post_content
I'm working on a design that has different styling if a certain Gutenberg block is present on a page. In other words, if the first block is a custom built Gutenberg block, the post_title is rendered elsewhere due to design choices made.
Is there any function in WordPress to get a list of all Gutenberg blocks present in the post_content? | WordPress 5.0+ has a function for this: `parse_blocks()`. To see if the first block in the post is the Heading block, you'd do this:
$post = get_post();
if ( has_blocks( $post->post_content ) ) {
$blocks = parse_blocks( $post->post_content );

Add multiple tags to multiple posts
I have an array of posts IDs like this: `$id_post_array_full=array(239,243,246,248,250,252,255,257)` I would like to add tags for each posts with this function of wordpress `wp_set_post_tags()`.
My real problem is that I have multiple arrays of tags and for each of them I have to match with the array of posts IDs
In the first red column I have the IDs and in the second red column I have the tags that I have to add for each one.
**I was thinking about that:link**
Thanks for your time | I found the solution:
My array of IDs + tags is like this:
$array_tags_and_ids = [
'239' => ["car", "animal", "dog", "cat"],
'243' => ["dsa", "ewr", "bvc", "fgn"]
];
So I do:
foreach ($array_tags_and_ids as $key => $value) {
// re-call the value and get only the text value
$implode_tags_names = implode( ', ', $value );
// wordpress function
wp_set_post_tags( $key, $implode_tags_names, true );
}

How to export post 2 posts Wordpress plugin data
I have an old website which uses the post 2 posts plugin (< The plug in has been used to set up many relationships between custom post types.
However I am now in the process of creating a new version of this website from scratch. I therefore have exported and imported all posts, custom posts and ACF data. However the export / import did not include the relationship data of each post.
My question is how can I export the post relationship data that was created using "post 2 posts" from the old site to new site? | The plugins use 2 custom tables to store relations datas :

in_category() not working in WordPress 4.9.7
I have the following code in a template that used to work until I upgraded to Wordpress 4.9.7
if (in_category( 'vid' )) {
$vidliclass = ' class="vid"';
} else {
$vidliclass = '';
}
Since the upgrade, posts that are in category vid don't return true anymore.
I used the following code, to check on the category names of the posts:
$postcat = get_the_category( $post->ID );
if ( ! empty( $postcat ) ) {
echo esc_html( $postcat[0]->name );
}
And the posts that are in category "vid" are echoed as vid.
I also tried to replace "vid" with the category ID.
Can I replace `in_category()` with something else to check if the post is in category "vid"? | You're using `in_category()` outside of a loop, so you need to pass the post ID in as the 2nd argument.
eg, `if (in_category( 'vid', $post->ID )) {`

Prevent WordPress automatically processing certain URL queries
I'm coding a custom plugin for a client and I want to use certain `$_GET` variables in the URL in my custom pages, such as `?s=$1`, `?p=$1` and `?paged=$1`. With some of these variables, such as `?paged=$1`, it redirects me to another URL: `[PAGE_URL]/page/$1`.
Are there any filter or action hooks that I can use to remove these functionalities for particular pages? | You should find alternatives, as noted on the codex article of "Reserved Terms" in WordPress (emphasis mine):
> There is a complete set of reserved keywords, or terms, in WordPress that should not be used in certain circumstances as they may conflict with core functionality. **You should avoid using any of these terms when** :
>
> * **Passing a term through a $_GET or $_POST array**
> * Registering a taxonomy or post type slug
> * Handling query variables
>
You could use `?search=` in place of `?s=` and `?pg=` in place of `?page=` for example.
Or, depending on what exactly you're doing, you could create a custom rewrite rule with `add_rewrite_rule()` and then you could name the underlying query vars whatever you wanted. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to get posts on a specific date - WP Query

using wp_sprintf at wordpress option page,
I'm using a custom option page to control default setting of my plugin, in one part I need to let the admin add a text which will be send through sms, I need using some predefined text (such as blogname) in this text something like :
wp_sprintf(__('This is the smaple sms from %s', 'my_plugin_textdomain'), esc_attr( get_option('blogname')));
how could I do this? Is it even possible to perform such action using wp_option, I know many plugins such as woocommerce using this kind of saving text | When it comes to user-defined strings, it's best to use a placeholder or "merge tag" - so on your settings page, inform the user they can use e.g. `{blogname}`
And then in your code:
$message = get_option( 'option_name' );
$message = str_replace( '{blogname}', get_bloginfo( 'name' ) );

Adding custom html/css/images to Theme
I have a small header-of-sorts that's in a html file, with its own css file and a folder of images (svgs). I'm basically trying to put this on my site in the header, so I made a child theme and went to edit that theme's header.php with my html code, linking to the css file (which I added to the theme), and with the folder of svgs in the theme files as well.
The svgs don't appear and neither is any of the styling though the html itself shows up fine. I even moved the css into my styles.css for the child theme and it doesn't make a difference. I'm basically wondering what the easiest way is to incorporate my code/file structure (html file, css file, folder of svgs). I can include code if it's relevant, but I figured right now my question is more of a general, how-to-approach-this-issue kind of question. | If your HTML is displaying but the images aren't that normally points to a path issue - doublecheck it by opening your browser's dev tools and checking whether the requested path to the images is correct. Make sure you're using `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()` to get the URI to the root of the child theme, as `get_template_directory_uri()` will point to the parent theme even when used in a child theme's template. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Add option for editors through `register_setting`

For administrator this works fine, but for editors i get message `Sorry, you are not allowed to manage these options.`. Is there a way so editors can also edit these new options? | To allow users with capabilities other than `manage_options` to save a setting you can use the `option_page_capability_{$option_page}` hook. Despite the name, `{$option_page}` is the option _group_ , which is what you set for the first argument of `register_setting()` and `settings_fields()` on your options page.
So if you registered a setting:
register_setting( 'wpse_310606_setting_group', 'wpse_310606_setting' );
You can allow other capabilities to save it with:
function wpse_310606_setting_capability( $capability ) {
return 'edit_pages';
}
add_filter( 'option_page_capability_wpse_310606_setting_group', 'wpse_310606_setting_capability' );
