WOOCommerce redirect after registration to account details
I want to redirect users to account details after registering, by default it is redirecting to my account dashboard.
This is where I want users to be redirected

return wc_get_page_permalink( '' );
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_registration_redirect', 'iconic_register_redirect' ); | To get " _Account details_ " permalink (endpoint `edit-account`) you need to use function `wc_get_account_endpoint_url`.

return $redirect;

What does selecting a page for GDPR privacy actually do?

How to pass page as an argument like post in WordPress?
I am using this code to pass arguments in posts:
$args_automobile_just_launched_bike = array(
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'post_type' => 'post',
'order' => 'DESC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'wpcf-new-launch-bikes',
'value' => '1',
),
),
);
This is the format of getting posts dynamically.
How can I do the same for Page? | Pages are posts, you just need to change the `post_type` to `page`:
$args_automobile_just_launched_bike = array(
'posts_per_page' => 3,

'meta_query' => array(
array(

Custom Avatars for Wordpress Comments VIA Website URL?
I've tried a couple different wordpress plugins and solutions but nothing is quite what I'm looking for.
I want to adjust my theme/wordpress so that avatars for my Wordpress commenters are grabbed from the "website URL" that people fill in. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this? | By default most of the time WordPress comments will include a "gravatar" (linked to the user's email address) when displaying comments, using WordPress built-in function `get_avatar()`.
You can hook a custom function to the `get_avatar` filter to return another image.
Something like this should do the trick for your use case: it filters `'get_avatar'` and returns an image with the comment author's website URL if it is set. Add this to your theme (or child theme) functions.php:
add_filter( 'get_avatar', 'wpse310726_custom_avatar', 1, 5 );
function wpse310726_custom_avatar( $avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt = null ) {
$comment_author_url = get_comment_author_url();
if ( '' !== $comment_author_url ) {
$avatar = "<img alt='{$alt}' src='{$comment_author_url}' class='avatar avatar-{$size} photo' height='{$size}' width='{$size}' />";

Redirect to https not working with .htaccess
I have the following setup in my `.htaccess` file, but I am still able to go to my site via `http:`
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# Rewrite HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*) [R,L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Any idea what I could be doing wrong? | You've put the code in the wrong place. The HTTP to HTTPS directives must go _before_ the WordPress front-controller, otherwise it's simply never going to get processed for anything other than direct file requests.
Your custom directives should also be outside the `# BEGIN WordPress` block, otherwise WordPress itself is likely to override your directives in a future update.
For example:
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule (.*) [R,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
It is a "redirect", not a "rewrite". Change the `R` to `R=301` when you are sure it's working OK (as this should ultimately be a _permanent_ redirect). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Query Post Based of Yoast Primary Category Class
I can pull the terms from a post to return only the Primary Category that Yoast SEO plugin provides.
But what I'd like to do is the following:
Query latest 1 post from category "x". But, the post returned has to have that category set as the Primary. It can't return the latest if that post has not marked that cat as primary. | Yoast SEO stores the primary term ID as the post meta field `_yoast_wpseo_primary_{taxonomy}`. Knowing this you can use a meta query to get all posts with primary category ID `X`:
$query = new WP_Query([
'cat' => 'X', // Just in case Yoast data corrupted & post no longer attached to X term but primary meta remains
'meta_query' => [
[
'key' => '_yoast_wpseo_primary_category',

Custom Post Type slug same as page name causing a conflict
I have a Custom Post Type all set up. I would like the slug to be the same as a page name, because all of these CPT's will be queried on that particular page (/team-members).
If I set the Custom Post Type slug to the page URL, that particular page doesn't load the page template anymore. It loads a broken post template.
My Custom Post Type rewrite:
$rewrite = array(
'slug' => 'team-members',
'with_front' => false,
'pages' => false,
'feeds' => false,
);
This allows me to generate the **proper URL** of: <
The problem now is when I try to access the page: < it does not render the correct page template file (aptly titled `page-team-members.php`). Saving permalink settings didn't work.
**How can I create the URL slug of my Custom Post Type to not interfere with a page titled the exact same thing?** | What is appearing at < is the 'post type archive' for your post type. It's the automatically generated list of posts created by WordPress. If you don't want the post type to have an archive you can disable the archive by setting the `has_archive` argument to false:
register_post_type( 'post_type_name', array(
'has_archive' => false,
) );

How to handle security on a wordpress site?

Check this Security reading from WordPress.
That been said, there are some things you can do.
* Keeping WordPress Updated
* Keeping theme and plugins Updated
* Use Strong Passwords
* You can use a Security Plugin, although it's arguable. When a client request it I use Sucuri.
* Change the Default “admin” username
* Limit Login Attempts
* Change WordPress Database Prefix
* Use double authentication

Apply text based styling done for a single post in WPBakery to all posts / create a template out of it

how can remove this element to avoid having two menu buttons with one that shows unnecessary pages
I like the menu buttons when the website is viewed in the desktop view but I don't like it whenever it is viewed in the mobile view. it brings two menu buttons and one of the buttons shows unnecessary pages while the other one just works fine
bellow is the inspected element that I thought has to be removed to avoid this menu button but I don't know how to go about it or you can visit my website Here and try to minimize the browser to mobile ratio to see what exactly I have to do to work out this issue.
<button class="menu-toggle" aria-controls="site-navigation" aria-expanded="true"><span>Menu</span></button> | You can add this CSS code to hide that menu:
.secondary-navigation, .menu-toggle {
display: none;
}
Of course, that option doesn't remove it but just hide it.
To try to remove it, since I think you don't want to get rid of the `Max Mega Menu` you can try to go to **Appearance > Menus** and find the menu on top and check if it has any **Display location** checkbox marked so you can uncheck it.

Where to put coding a validation script for store?
I am pretty new using WordPress and was asked to validate the number of items in the cart for an eCommerce site that lets you "make a pack" in which you have several steps, step 1 is a page in which you select the box, this doesn't need validation but the next 4 steps do, each step is a new page and each has a different amount of the item that you need to select, what I need is to either disable the hyperlink that says "Next step" until you select the correct amount of items for each step or just display a message when you click with the incorrect amount
Now my question is not code itself but where to put it in WordPress, I checked everything in the WordPress admin part of the site and on the hosting site but can't find where I am supposed to code the validation for each page. | Normally on WordPress you use Your Theme `Functions.php` to put that code. But in this case we are talking about a WordPress with WooCommerce (I'd think), so if you add custom code to your theme as I told you normally is the case, it will be gone if you change your theme, for that reason and if you aren’t sure where to place the code, choose one of the following options to add the code to your site.

Use the Code Snippets plugin or similar.
## JavaScript

Clients with empty username are not receiving request new password email
I am looking after a old site from a client and a lot of users dont have username.
I had setup in woocommerce "When creating an account, automatically generate a username from the customer's email address", but for some reason it is not creating username for the new user, so I unticked that and left the field mandatory.
Now, If an user with blank username request a new password, wordpress doesnt send an email. Only if I go manually to the phpmyadmin and included it. However there are more than 500 users without username. Is there a way to automatically get the user email for example and include in the username field?
Or make wordpress send email even with no username?

How to check whether Gutenberg editor is installed or not

if Gutenberg is installed, then run the following code else not.
i have created this code, but not sure will this work or not

}

Specifically for gutenberg as it stands right now for example, post types that are not exposed in the REST API can not be edited by gutenberg.
As always, if you have a functionality that depends on a plugin you should hook to its actions and filters to avoid the need to guess if it is active or not (the fact that the action is "called" is the best indication for activity), or ask the plugin author to add the kind of action/filter you might find useful. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can't get JS code to work with shortcode
I am trying to create a plugin and I've got stuck. I am trying to register and enqueue a script from a shortcode:
This is my shortcode:
add_shortcode( 'gear-guide', 'gg_product_front_end' );
This is the function it calls to:
function gg_product_front_end() {

wp_register_script( 'gg_loadProducts_frontEnd', plugins_url( 'js/front_end.js', __FILE__ ), array( 'jquery' ));
wp_enqueue_script( 'gg_loadProducts_frontEnd' );
}
And this is the JavaScript:
function gg_loadProducts_frontEnd() {
console.log( 'Test!' );
}
JavaScript doesn't work, but I am not getting any error, neither php nor js. | You need to return the Shortcode generated string, not `echo`, like this:
function gg_product_front_end() {

wp_enqueue_script( 'gg_loadProducts_frontEnd' );

function gg_loadProducts_frontEnd() {
console.log( 'Test!' );

How to load terms of a custom taxonomy of a product in woocommerce cart page
I have created a custom taxonomy called "job_orders" to a products in woocommerce.

Making a custom help center page
I am working now on a new WordPress theme and I want to make a help center system to allow users that will buy my theme do add helper articles.

Adding Age Based Wordpress Category
I want to create a WordPress blog that shows public profile. I have added a category for that "Age" because i want to show the list of all the people who have same "Age". Now the problem is with age. I don't want to update every individual's age again and again. A person's age will change as per their DOB.
How to create the age-based custom taxonomy that changes automatically for an individual post? | You might like to:
* Use a custom field as @Fayaz mentions above. Advanced Custom Fields will be the best for this (and you have it already).
* Add a new field (and I'd call it 'Year of birth') using Range. You could use a datepicker, but this way it's cleaner and less intrusive:
.
* You can then 'call' that meta data depending on what you want.
* If you wish to reference posts that are of a certain age range, you can do this with a WP_query using meta_query.
* If you want to show someone's age on a post, you could use **current_year** minus **Year-of-birth**.

Multiple non-hierarchical custom taxonomies frequently used terms showing up in first selected taxonomy box
I'm using WordPress 4.9.8, and I'm declaring multiple non-hierarchical custom taxonomies to use on a post type called "inventory". The non-hierarchical custom post types use the tag cloud style interface in the Wordpress backend for content editors to categorize inventory. When I click on "Choose from the most used tags" in one of the custom taxonomy boxes it loads the tag cloud as expected. But when I click on "Choose from the most used tags" in a second custom taxonomy box, the tag cloud loads in the first custom taxonomy box. Is there a way to fix this? Or, is there another interface I can use to access the custom taxonomy terms other than the tag cloud? I want to keep the taxonomies non-hierarchical.
Thanks and regards | I found a solution that serves my purposes. I found this plugin (< that will allow me to use Radio Buttons for taxonomies instead of the tag cloud, so I avoid the bug with the tag cloud by using this interface instead.

How do I edit the php/html for a particular post?
I am new to Wordpress but I am comfortable coding in html/php and want to create custom forms on some of my posts.
My site is currently running on localhost.
I feel very silly because I have been searching through my `/var/html` folder for an embarrassingly long time trying to find out where I can edit a page called "My Profile". I was expecting to see some kind of auto-generated `my_profile.php` file or something.
The page itself is identified with `page_id=10` , but I don't see anything about `page_id` within the file structure either. Where does the "My Profile" code live? | It's useful to understand how things work in WP. Content (pages, posts) are stored in the WP database. The 'style' of the site - how it works, how pages are built, how it looks - are in the theme of the site.
Within the theme are templates - that defines how a post is displayed to the end user. To understand templates - and themes - check out my answer to this question: Need help on Wordpress and php .
This page is a good place to start learning about how WP works: < . Look at themes, templates, template hierarchy, etc.
Find a basic theme, then make a Child Theme to 'mess' with. (The above link will get you to Child Themes info.) Edit a template.
Pages and Posts are edited via the Admin pages. Log into admin, then look at the Pages or Posts items. Edit a page, and see the changes. But the "Where to Start" is a good place to start learning.

Is it possible to register a new template file?
I'm trying to create a custom user dashboard on the front end using a rewrite rule to `/dashboard/` and a custom theme file `dashboard.php`. I notice that when loading in `dashboard.php`, I have to manually include `wp-blog-header.php` or the WordPress functions don't work, and that `get_page_template()` returns `page.php` instead of `dashboard.php`.
Is there a proper way to register `dashboard.php` as a custom template in the same manner that, for example, the 404 page is registered? I'd like this page to operate independently of any page in the back-end, and just utilize my custom code. | I would strongly suggest you use a WordPress page template. At the top of `dashboard.php`:
<?php
/**
* Template Name: Dashboard
*/
Now create a page called "Dashboard" and assign it the dashboard template.
This way you're not loading WordPress yourself (nearly always bad) & WordPress & all your plugins will function as normal (creating custom endpoints in WordPress that don't ultimately map to a loop/post object can hit a lot of problems as vast swathes of the frontend assume they do). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to reset the post ID increment
So, after working on a script that imports tons of data from another API, and doing lots of testing, all new posts I make have a post ID above 10,000,000.
Thing is, now that I'm done, all my test data is gone, and my last "real" post has the ID 88.
Is there a method to "reset" my post ID's, so that the next one I make has the ID 89? I know that there's no real need to do this, but I plan on maintaining this site for many years and it'll be annoying.
Worst case, I can just reinstall and export/import. | I also happened to me once, I only had like 10 real post, so what I did was to go to **phpMyAdmin** , make sure your that on my `wp_posts` and `wp_posts_meta` tables are only information about the 10 real posts IDs, from the `mysite/wp-admin/export.php` I exported all the posts (10 of them), I run the following SQL query on **phpMyAdmin**.
DELETE FROM wp_posts;
DELETE FROM wp_post_meta;
TRUNCATE TABLE wp_posts;
TRUNCATE TABLE wp_post_meta;
And finally, I import again the 10 posts, after that the ID was bad to normally, mine was only around 10000 tho, but it should work nonetheless. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Need to display author's email id in the "Edit post" field in wp dashboard. How do I do this?
I have created a custom post type & have enabled frontend posting for the same. I need the Edit post page to display the original author's email id. I already have "post author" displayed, but that just gives the name & username of the author. How do I go about doing this? | Probably you use `get_post` on edit page with query object. You can simply use `$post->post_author` on edit page. For example;
$editableid = get_query_var('id');
$postedit = get_post($editableid);
$author_id = $postedit->post_author; //Always return author ID value.
<input type="hidden" name="post_author" value="<?php echo $author_id;?>" />

Add rewrite rule to call front-page.php?
I am trying to create a multilanguage website. And I have set my home page to a **static page** in my WP admin area.

'^fr/?$',

'top'

How can I make ` to call `front-page.php`? | As I pointed in my comment, in the rewrite rule there, change `?&p=2` to `?page_id=2`. Because `p` is used for querying a Post (i.e. post of the `post` type). So for Pages (i.e. post of the `page` type), use `page_id`.
To prevent ` from being redirected to ` you can cancel (the) canonical redirect, like this:

Change header.php of a specific Wordpress Multisite

However when using the editor under 'Network Admin', changes are reflected across all the wordpress multisites.
How can I access change the header.php of a specific multisite, as the editor is not available in the multisite's dashboard.
Thanks! | From what I understand you're using one theme across multiple blogs inside your network? If that's the case, you could edit the `header.php` to add a bit of php logic into it to check on what blog your header is currently loaded.
To make it work, you'll need to get the ID of a blog you want to apply the change to (check for it in your network admin on a screen that lists all the blogs).
Then edit the `header.php` and add something like this:
<?php
// 6 in my example is the blog ID that I want to apply the change to
if ( 6 === get_current_blog_id() ) {
echo `<meta name="theme-color" content="#ff6600" />`;
}
?>
The other way would be to create a new child theme with a header.php file that has the additional meta tag and activate it only on a particular blog.

Change Responsive Images Maximum Width of 1600px

WooCommerce set default product sort to product description (content)
I am trying have the default product sort to be by product description (content). Right now I can make it by sku or other meta keys, but not by post content (description). Here is what I have so far by adding this to the function.php file:
add_filter('woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', 'am_woocommerce_catalog_orderby');
function am_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $args ) {
$args['meta_key'] = '_sku';
$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value';
$args['order'] = 'asc';
return $args;
} | Sorting by content is not very efficient, as content can be long strings which take time to sort through. However, if your description is actually very short and you want to order your results by this very short string, then you could simply store your short description in a custom meta-field and use that field to order your results. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Woocommerce customer role doesn't change if user is already a subscriber
I noticed the following behavior on woocommerce :
I have a user on my website who is already registered with 'subscriber' role.
When I login and checkout on my woocommerce shop, user role still remains on 'subscriber' and role is not updated to 'customer'.
Problem is on admin page (Users > All users) : when I use the filter to show all customers, users who were already subscribers and have made orders don't appear on search results.
I use Wordpress 4.9.6 et Woocommerce 3.3.3.
Can anybody explain to me if this behavior is all right ?
Thank you. | While WC is off topic, and I am not going to dig into how it explicitly works, in general wordpress roles are just a semantic way to call a class of permissions and users probably can not belong to two roles at once (this is an observation based on user management UI, not on whether it is possible to somehow hack something in the DB or via code), therefor if the user already exists it is just not obvious what to do if it might be better assigned to some other role. Not surprising that if a customer of a shop is already a user on the site, WC does not modify it in any way.
So this is not so much about wrong and right but more about you looking for information about customers in an admin screen that is meant to manage user permissions and other non shopping related attributes | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to make a custom redirect in WooCommerce?
An unregistered user buys a product from a certain category (take into account the ID), adds it to the cart and goes to the order processing. If it is registered, it makes out an order. If not, redirecting it for registration and back for ordering.
After making an order, if user bought a product of a certain category, redirecting it to the custom page "Thank You", or immediately to the edit page of the account "edit-account" in the personal account.

How do I create a Shortcode that returns text if domain is .com, not .co.uk

$country_select = // Something to get attribute 'country'
if( $current_tld == $country_select ) {
return $content
}
}

I would like to use it like this:
[ifurl country="com"] Show only if .com [/ifurl]
[ifurl country="uk"] Show only if .co.uk [/ifurl] | to read the attribut `country`, you just need to read it in `$atts`
add_shortcode( 'ifurl', 'ifurl' );
function ifurl($atts, $content = null) {
$url = ' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$current_tld = end(explode(".", parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST)));

Wordpress Template Engine?
I'm in a need to convert an existent design into wordpress and before starting I was curious to know: Is it correct to use pure "naked" PHP when adding logic to templates in wordpress? Wordpress uses no template engine like Twig or Blade by default? I'm pretty suprised, so before starting to work on that project and doing everything in pure PHP (with the opening `<?php` and closing hassle `?>`) I wanted to ask here. This way of doing things seems very outdated to me. | Correct, there is no PHP templating engine built into WordPress. This does however give you the flexibility to use a templating engine such as Twig or Blade (and I have worked on sites using each of those), or even completely headless using the REST API. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Add CSS class to PHP Statement
A newbie question, I have been trying to style certain PHP code and I keep hitting the wall. I need to add CSS class to the **No results found** text bellow:
<?php }
else{
esc_html_e('No results found','ThemeName');
}
?>
Thanks! | You need to wrap it in an HTML element that has a class. Doing it with your code will require changes.
You can either do it outside the PHP, which will require changing where you open and close the PHP tags:
<?php } else { ?>
<span class="classname">
<?php esc_html_e('No results found','ThemeName'); ?>
</span>
<?php } ?>
You can do it inside the PHP by concatenating a string, which means you'll need to use `esc_html__()` instead of `esc_html_e()` (which echoes the result, which you shouldn't do in the middle of a concatenation):
<?php
} else {
echo '<span class="classname">' . esc_html__('No results found','ThemeName') . '</span>';
}
?>
Or use `printf()` to put the string together, also using `esc_html__()`:
<?php
} else {
printf( '<span class="classname">%s</span>', esc_html__( 'No results found', 'ThemeName' ) );
}

prevent showing posts of an specific category in admin posts section
For some purposes I made a plugin that automatically makes posts with a specific category. Now in admin posts section, posts with that specific category have been too plentyfull and finding other posts has been difficult.
For this I wrote another plugin and want to prevent showing posts of that specific category id or slug in admin posts section without using any third party plugin. And I want to make a menu in admin section to show posts of that specific category in that.
My target category slug is 'eventscat' .
But I don't know how do it, what hook must I use? | You can use the `pre_get_posts` action to affect any queries, both in frontend and admin. In your case you should make sure you affect only admin queries and you can even use `get_current_screen` to narrow it down further. Here's an example that would modify the query only on the regular posts page:
add_action ('pre_get_posts', 'wpse311946_restrict_cats');
function wpse311946_restrict_cats ($query) {
// retrieve the id of the category to be excluded
$idObj = get_category_by_slug ('eventscat');
$id = $idObj->term_id;
// find current admin page
$current_screen = get_current_screen ();
// conditionally exclude category
if (is_admin() && $current_screen->id == "edit-post" ) {
$query->set ('cat', -$id);
}
}
You can use the same filter, slightly modified, to make sure only posts of this category are shown on the other posts page you want to create (this will have another screen id). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Adding Custom Link anchors in the top menu that points to specific sections of the site home page
My site is using a nav menu in my custom theme. I want to add navigation links to anchored links that points to specific sections of the site home page using a `Custom Link` in the nav menu.
I want to use the equivalent of:
<?php echo get_home_url(); ?>/#xxxx
in the URL field. If I use just the anchored link `#xxx` as the `Custom Link`, it will work fine on the home page, but it will not link from another page (as that anchor section is not on that page).
There has to be a clean way to do this. When I insert the php code as well, it appears to work on the home page, but not from another page. I've gone through all the other related posts, but none seem to address this issue. | If all you want is to go to a specific section of the home page, then the easiest way is to use the **relative URL** mark `/` and then use the anchor `#xxx`.
So the custom link for the menu will be: `/#xxx`.

Extra items added to cart on refresh, woocommerce
I have a client site, < where there are **AJAX** 'add to cart' buttons auto-generated by WooCommerce.
If I visit the page with an empty cart and click **ADD** it adds a single item to the cart as expected. The page is reloaded and a popup cart slides into the window.
If I refresh the browser a second item is added to the cart without clicking the **ADD** button.
**How to prevent such bug?**
* This is not a query param problem, there url is clean
* I had a second product on the same page, clicking **ADD** (p1) and then after the reload clicking **ADD** (p2), p1 gets added a second time so I have a total of 3 items in the cart after two clicks | If you look on the network tab of the developer tools from your browser, you will see that the product is NOT added by AJAX.
![Chrome network tab](
Yes, there is an AJAX-Request but that sends a nonce to "woosb_custom_data" and adds no product to your cart. (blue cross on the screenshot)
Normaly the "add to cart" AJAX-Request should go to an address like "example.com/?wc-ajax=add_to_cart".
The product is add via a normal POST-Request. (red cross on the screenshot)
If you reload the page the browser will send the POST-Request again. Try the reload test with an firefox browser and the browser will ask you if you want to send the POST-Request again.

Remove the last character from tag name in tag archive page
I would remove the last character from tag name in tag archive page, I tried:
<?php
echo substr(<?php single_tag_title(); ?>, 0, -1);
?>
but won't work. | Two things here, one is wrong syntax because you're opening and closing PHP tags twice. The second problem is the wrong usage of `single_tag_title()`.
If you want this function to return value instead of outputting it (and you need that because you want to manipulate the string), you need to set the second parameter to false. (see the second example: < )
Also it's a good idea to check if you didn't get an empty result.
So your code should look like this:

$tag_title = single_tag_title( '', false );

echo substr( $tag_title, 0, -1 );

How to echo all the_title() without text after last "-"
I am trying to do something but I have problem...
I wont show the list of my post, but from all titles I want remove text after last "-" (dash)
My list of posts:
> 1. My experience - this boy - first day - meet
> 2. My love - i do not know - second day
> 3. My first time - auuu - third time
>
I would like to return this:
> 1. My experience - this boy - first day
> 2. My love - i do not know
> 3. My first time

<?php $stringx = get_the_title();
echo preg_replace('/-[^-]*$/', '', $stringx); ?>
But this return whole text... with the dashes....
also I tried this:
<
Somone could help me how to output titles of post withoust text after last '-'? | This is really a PHP question not so much a WP question -- but:
echo substr($stringx,0,strrpos($stringx,'-'));
Also I think your example #3 is wrong unless there are some cases where you want to exclude more than simply after the final dash character.
Note - if you want to exclude both that final blank space along with the final dash that immediately follows it, then change the substr length by -1 to avoid the final blank space:
echo substr($stringx,0,strrpos($stringx,'-')-1); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Correct way to register custom post type from external php file?
I have a class file and I have separated out my custom post types into their own files in a sub-folder for neatness, readability, etc.
I want to init the CPT now in my plugin's `index.php` class. My class is initialised on the `plugins_loaded` action and in my construct I have the following:
public function __construct() {
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', array($this,'init_admin_scripts'));
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', array($this,'init_frontend_scripts'));
}
The above actions refer to functions that are in the `index.php` file itself. My CPTs are in a subfolder called `cpt`. What is the correct way to add the action for the functions in a subfolder? | Adding an action doesn't do anything except putting the callback function in the queue of the corresponding hook. It doesn't check if the function exists, let alone load a file where the function is resident.
Only when the corresponding hook is fired PHP looks for the function. If it is not loaded by then it simply throws an error:
> **Warning** : call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'yada_yada' not found or invalid function name in **/../wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php** on line **286**
>
So, you are yourself responsible for loading the file where the function resides using `include` or `require` **before** the `admin_enqueue_scripts` hook is fired. Refer to the hook order list to check if you're hooking timely. If you're hooking everything into `plugins_loaded` you should be fine. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Rewrite URL with category and tag combined using WP_Rewrite
I know how to query posts with my custom query var, but I am trying to rewrite the following URL from this...
<

I can't seem to combine the pre-existing category/subcategory with the tag.
Here's some code I started with
function myplugin_rewrite_tag_rule() {
add_rewrite_tag( '%tag%', '([^&]+)' );
add_rewrite_rule( '^tag/([^/]*)/?', 'index.php?tag=$matches[1]','top' );
}
add_action('init', 'myplugin_rewrite_tag_rule', 10, 0);
I know this won't work because I need the category parameter as a query var. | These should work for you:
function myplugin_rewrite_tag_rule() {
add_rewrite_rule(
'category/(.+?)/tag/([^/]+)/?$',
'index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&tag=$matches[2]',
'top'
);
add_rewrite_rule(
'category/(.+?)/tag/([^/]+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$',
'index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&tag=$matches[2]&paged=$matches[3]',
'top'
);
}
add_action('init', 'myplugin_rewrite_tag_rule', 10, 0);

Get ONLY the count from wp_query without fetching posts
This is potentially a duplicate but what was listed on the following link didn't work for me : Return only Count from a wp_query request?
I can't get the count using the query below. If I set `posts_per_page = -1` it renders a blank page, if I set it to something like 10, it returns 10 found_posts..
There's 190k results with "special_key", so maybe something to do with it..?
// There are 190k records with post_meta "special_key" on each coupon/post.
$query = array(
'post_type' => 'shop_coupon',
'meta_key' => 'special_key',
'fields' => 'ids',
'no_found_rows' => true,
);
$results = new WP_Query($query);
echo $results->found_posts; //// This is 0...
echo $results->count_posts; //// This is 0...
wp_reset_postdata();
If it helps, I'm running the query from inside a plugin. | The `found_posts` property of the `WP_Query` class is what you're looking for, which is the amount of found posts for the _current_ query. However, you got a `0` because you set `no_found_rows` (in the `$query` array) to `true`, which means the amount there will not be calculated. I.e.
* WordPress will not append `SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS` to the SQL command for querying the posts. Otherwise, the command would be something like: `SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS {the rest of the query}`
* WordPress will not execute `SELECT FOUND_ROWS()` _after_ the posts query is complete. And when it's not executed, the value of the `found_posts` property would be a zero (`0`).
So remove the `no_found_rows` from the `$query` array, and the `$results->found_posts` would have the proper value:
$query = array(
'post_type' => 'shop_coupon',
'meta_key' => 'special_key',
'fields' => 'ids',

shortcode display metainformation as linked image

Notify admin when Custom post meta data gets updated or deletet
I am trying to email admin when an single custom post meta gets updated or deleted. This does not work with post save or post delete. All i need is to detect when this post meta gets updated or deleted and email admin.
so far i have tried to use this action but does not work:
function detect_post_meta_update($meta_id, $post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value)
{
//code to email admin goes here

This was working but it was detecting all post meta changes including post view ... But currently is not working at all.
Any better way for building this notification system ? | Actually this is the right way of doing that and proper hook to work with in my opinion. All you need to do is check if the updated meta key is the one you want to detect (that's why there are 4 arguments passed to the hook!).
So let's say your post meta is called `'email_triggering_meta'`:
function detect_post_meta_update($meta_id, $post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value) {
// ignore every meta update apart from `email_triggering_meta`
if ( 'email_triggering_meta' !== $meta_key ) {
return;
}
// code to email admin goes here

Multisite installation but do plugins always have to be multisite compatible?

Also remember that, there are two kinds of
* Passive compatibility: doing nothing multisite specific, just works without breaking anything.
* Active compatibility: changing or extending multisite specific behavior.
In case the plugin you want to use doesn't say anything about its compatibility on multisites, you just have to try them out, they may break things but they also can work without problem, it depends on what is their purpose. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Multisite Installation: how do I setup global search?
I run a multisite installation and my sites are bilingual. I would like to find out how I can setup global search.

But it is an old plugin and hasn't been updated for a couple of years. Plus, reviews are mixed so I'm wondering if there's a better solution/plugin that I haven't found yet..
Would really appreciate your advice and help! Thank you! | I think the best way to do it is to index all the posts and search through them in database. This method should be the fastest when you perform a search because you can filter posts, create the pagination etc. Check this tutorial <

How to show posts with multiple tags on tag.php?

`get_query_var( 'tag_slug__and' )` will return you the array of tags.
So, there are two ways to achieve the goal:
$args = array(
'tag' => get_query_var( 'tag' ), // string
);
or
$args = array(
'tag__and' => get_query_var( 'tag_slug__and' ), // array
);

Templates to use multiple time within page?
New to WP, so this may be a newbie question.
My page will consist of structured data:
Movie title, Movie release date, Movie Poster Image filename.
On mediawiki, my page might look something like this:
{{movie-template|Gone With the Wind|1939|gwtw.jpg}}
{{movie-template|Citizen Kane|1941|ck.jpg}}
{{movie-template|Star Wars|1977|sw.jpg}}

Stop WordPress From Removing HTML Comments In Content
