Sidebar on the wrong side of the page
I'm building a website on WordPress through a child theme based on Dazzling. The website is <
The problem I'm having is that the sidebar of my website is being shown on the right side, even though on the theme's configuration on WordPress dashboard it is set to be on the left.
The problem seemed to arise when I uploaded the header.php file (I'm not sure if it was when I created header.php or when I created style.css). When I inspect the page, the tag that contains the sidebar (widget area) is div#secondary.widget-area.col-sm-12.col-md-4 . However, I can't find this tag neither on the header.php nor the style.css. Does anyone know how to fix the problem? | I just checked your site, if you want to move the sidebar to the left, add this to your CSS.
@media (min-width:992px) {
.col-md-1,.col-md-10,.col-md-11,.col-md-12,.col-md-2,.col-md-3,.col-md-4,.col-md-5,.col-md-6,.col-md-7,.col-md-8,.col-md-9 {
float:right;
}

.html form added to a page
I have an external html form that I would like to add to my wordpress developed site.
The form links to other areas in the business like the cashiers, so when customers fill the form out, the content is added to their system.
I have seen different ways such as adding raw html and adding as media however these do not allow me to edit the form as the visual composer stops working after I paste in the html code.
What other options do I have if any. | I figured out that you can not directly have a html form display correctly on a page. To work around this, I added the html document to the media and then linked directly to this using the generated hyperlink. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to install Woocommerce without plugin?

Simulate Update User button click
I have a site running Paid Membership Pro and I'm adding a user membership level via a Webhook from Chargify. I use a function in the Stranger Studios Multiple Memberships Per User plugin < to add the membership level. These users already have an account and role assigned to them, they are just having another membership level assigned.
The weird thing is it adds the level however, the end user doesn't have access to the content until I manually edit the user profile and click Update User button. No changes are needed in their profile just to open their user account and click the button.
I've tried running the Wordpress wp_update_user() function after adding the membership level and running cURL post to /wp-admin/user-edit.php but still I need to manually save the user profile before they gain access to content.
Any help would be extremely appreciated. | Thanks must go to WebElaine as her comment lead me on the right path to solving this.

Install wordpress in backend with Existing html website alive

Thank you. | ## WordPress in Sub Directory
Just install your WordPress site next to your HTML site in a subdirectory such as /mysite.
While you are working on the WordPress site, it would be found in <
Then once you are ready to switch to the WordPress site, you can just change the site url to < in the WordPress settings. This will then run your WordPress site via that same URL :)

## Safty Check
1. If you've not used local URL's in your custom links, you will have to update these manually when you change the WordPress Site URL.
2. After you have changed your URL to the root URL, it is best to scan the site and database to make sure no old URL were left unchanged. There are many good plugins and scripts that can do that.

How can I store user preferences in WordPress and retreive them later?
I have a WordPress website where I want to give users some options to sepcify how they want to see the site. For example, they can choose from a given set of fonts, menu color etc.
I am assuming this will mean that I have to create a webpages where logged in users can check different boxes to set their preferences.
Is there a way to do that using something that takes advantage of the WordPress ecosystem instead of coding everything from scratch?
Basically, I want a dedicated webpage which logged in users can visit to set their preferences. :)
How can I do that in a way that allows me to take advantage of WordPress without coding everything myself?
To be clear, I have no problem in writing the code. What I meant to ask was if there are any WordPress functions or plugins that I can rely on to make it easier. :) | You can have two different approaches, Both require some coding.
1. **Using a Plugin**
In your case, there are a lot of good plugins out there but If I'd like to give a name, you'll have to check `Profile Extra Fields by BestWebSoft` (I think it doesn't require a lot of coding) and `Advanced Custom Fields` (It requires some coding but it worth, you can take a look at this article to read more about how to add user fields in ACF)
2. **Coding from scratch using WordPress's built-in user functionalities**
There are very good built-in functions like `get_user_meta`, `add_user_meta`, etc.
They're very easy to use and they're very well integrated inside the WordPress platform. You can learn more about these functions and some more by looking into the `users.php` file. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there any action filter/hook for validating a custom field before publishing the post?
I have a custom filed called `xxxx_url`. `xxxx_url` should be unique.
So, before publishing the post, I want to make sure that `xxxx_url` is unique or not? If it isn't unique, publishing the post should be reject.
I tried `publish_post`. But that isn't the correct one, since it triggers when we publish the post. I want to run my code just before the publish. | At the beginning of `wp_insert_post`, the function that saves/updates a post, there is a filter called `wp_insert_post_empty_content`. By default this filter checks whether the title, editor, and excerpt fields are all empty, in which case the save process will be halted.
However, since all the fields to be saved are passed to this filter, you can expand this filter to include any other test to determine whether the post should be considered empty. It would be something like this:
add_filter ('wp_insert_post_empty_content','wpse312975_check_unique_url',10,2);
function wpse312975_check_unique_url ($maybe_empty, $postarr) {
// extract custom field from $postarr, check uniqueness
if ($unique) return false else return true;
}
Note: the function must return 'true' to halt the saving process.

Restrict a search to a custom post type
I have a search form in the home page and search form in the sidebar. Is it possible to make the search form in the home page show results as per a specific template and make the sidebar search form show a different template?
i want to make the homepage search box to show results in different way. Its a custom post. so if user uses that form it should only have data from that custom post. But the default wordpress search box in the sidebar should get the results from entire website.
eg. listing search page results with map
Thanks | You can restrict a search to a custom post type by modifying a basic WP search form like this:
<form id="cptsearch" action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>" method="get">
<input type="text" name="s" />
<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="POSTTYPENAME" />
<input id="searchsubmit" type="submit" alt="Search" value="Search" />
</form>

function template_chooser($template) {
global $wp_query;
$post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
if( $wp_query->is_search && $post_type == 'POSTTYPENAME' ) {
return locate_template('page_POSTTYPENAME.php');
}
return $template;
}
add_filter('template_include', 'template_chooser');

Plain permalinks not working!
For my wordpress website plain permalinks are not working. The post url is changing but when we click on the post its not redirecting to the post page. It will be in the home page itself.
For example:
If I change the permalinks to other custom formats, it works correctly and showing the posts page. For example:
I tried creating a new `.htaccess` file after changing the permalinks to plain. Still not working. | Plain permalinks of the form `/?p=14523` (or `/index.php?p=14523`) don't necessarily need any `.htaccess` file since they don't require mod_rewrite to rewrite the URL (unlike the the _custom permalinks_ you mention).
However, for a URL of the form `/?p=14523` (as opposed to `/index.php?p=14523`), where you don't explicitly state the index document (ie. `index.php`) in the URL then the `DirectoryIndex` must be correctly set on your server. This can be achieved in `.htaccess` using the following directive:
DirectoryIndex index.php

echo $myfy->get_retrieve_cart_url( $post->ID, $landing_page );
}
function get_link($post, $landing_page){

// And finally in your result:
echo "a href='" . get_link($post, $landing_page) . "'>.get_title()";
**If the first line you're mentioning is not inside a void function or you can simply duplicate it without concerning about the future changes:**

How to transfer categories (default) to custom taxonomy?
I wanted to move all my posts from the default post type into the new custom post type i've made. I was able to do it using this code:
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_type = 'movies' WHERE post_type = 'post'
However, i wasn't able to transfer the categories i have on default category.
Is it possible to transfer all the posts including the category into custom post type & custom taxonomoy/category? | wp links the posts and the terms in table wp_term_relationships so one doesn't really have to worry about the custom taxonomy.

UPDATE wp_term_relationships SET term_taxonomy_id = 'newterm_id'

Does WordPress remove draft status automatically?
Last week our marketing team placed around 35 posts inside of draft due to some legal issues in our market. This week the same marketing team has reported that WordPress has somehow Published these posts automatically and taken them outside of draft status?
Could some code, module, cron or something do this? | Just by itself WordPress will not change the post status. However, if you have a plugin like Draft Scheduler installed, drafts will be published automatically, possibly with some interval. So, you should check your plugins on this type of activity.

get_terms() order by term_meta
I'm doing a `get_terms()` query that I'm trying to order by a custom term meta. The custom term meta key is `'order'` which as a numeric value (between 1 and 10). I have tried the following, but the order doesn't seem to follow the meta value - any pointers is appreciated.
$type_terms = get_terms( 'type', array(
'hide_empty' => false,
array(
'key' => 'order',
),
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC',
) ); | > the order doesn't seem to follow the meta value
Yes, and it's because you set the meta key like this: (which doesn't actually set the meta key)
array(
'key' => 'order',
),
The proper way is by using the `meta_key` parameter:
'meta_key' => 'order'
So the full code would be:
$type_terms = get_terms( 'type', array(
'hide_empty' => false,
'meta_key' => 'order',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC',
) );

![Example:
How can I show thumbnail the last added post? | Because you're not specifying `order` and `orderby` parameters within your `WP_Query` query, the latest added post will be shown in the first place.

<ul>
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'cat' => '1', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ); ?>
<?php $iterator = 0; ?>
<?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

SVN precommit and nullable return types

Multi-site: Change the URL of main site to HTTPS
I've setup the multisite on a fresh installation of WordPress.
Then I created some other websites, so, in the end, I have something like this
* <
* <
* <
* <
I have then installed an SSL digital certificate, so I changed the URLs of the websites to match the HTTPS scheme:
* <
* * *

This worked.
**The only site left without the`https` is < for this, in fact, I have cannot change the URL.**
If I go to `Sites > All Sites` and click on it, in fact, in the first tab "Information" the URL is not editable and is in the form < without the https scheme.
How can I change it?
I'd like to change it now, before I start to install plugins and write articles.
Any suggestions? | I would suggest editing the `wp-config.php` file, and adding:

define('WP_SITEURL','

Not Able to Insert Taxonomy Term Using wp_insert_post()
I have a Custom Post Type called `eyeglasses` and Custom Taxonomy called `models`. I also created two terms for taxonomy called `M156` and `M120`. Now I am trying to upload two post for test through `wp_insert_post`.
This is adding the `$title` to the `post_title` of `eyeglasses` but not adding or updating the term of the post.
function we_load_posts($title, $term)
{
wp_insert_post(array(
"post_type" => "eyeglasses",
"post_title" => $title,

"models" => array($term)
),
"post_status" => "publish"
));
}
we_load_posts("Montana", "M156");
we_load_posts("Havana", "M120");
can you please let me know what I am missing or doing wrong here? | Few points come to mind:
1. There is a typo in `"post_type" => "'eyeglasses"` (extra single quote). It should be: `"post_type" => "eyeglasses"`.
2. Try putting the `$term` instead of `array( $term )`:
"tax_input" => array(
"models" => $term
)
3. Also, is it `models` or `model`? e.g.
"tax_input" => array(
"model" => $term
)
4. `tax_input` requires `assign_terms` capability. So if the user you are running this CODE with, doesn't have that capability, it'll not work.
In that case, the right way is:
$post_id = wp_insert_post(array(
"post_type" => "eyeglasses",
"post_title" => $title,
"post_status" => "publish"
));

Creating a function within functions.php to change the date
I'm using the PODS WordPress Framework which is amazing.
I created a template with one of the fields publishing the date of an event which is done through a simple 'magic tag' like this
{@date_of_event}

function MY_FUNCTION ($input) {
return "New Input" . $input;
}
Now, the php time date format that I need is like this:
Y/m/d
So - **my question** \- how do I insert this into the function above?
Thanks for all help and direction on this! | You can use the PHP's `strtotime()` and WordPress's `date_i18n()` functions:
function MY_FUNCTION( $input ) {
// Removes commas so that we'll get the proper timestamp. Otherwise, the
// strtotime() function would return FALSE.
$input = str_replace( ',', '', $input );
// Retrieve the UNIX timestamp of the date.
$timestamp = @strtotime( $input );
// Returns the date in *localized* format.
return date_i18n( 'Y/m/d', $timestamp );
}
`MY_FUNCTION( 'September, 15th 2018' )`, for example, would give you `2018/09/15`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

echo $handle."<br />";

Indeed, there is - I'm doing it in my own optimization plugin - but it's going to involve more work than you might first suspect.
1. Use `add_action()` to register a hook that triggers on the front-end to output a JSON-encoded array of registered styles
2. Use the HTTP API (or an AJAX call) to make a request against the front-end to trigger that hook
3. Read the results of your HTTP API call from your `/wp-admin/` script

What could go wrong if I am not using `die();` after the function that handles an Ajax request?
I have noticed that almost all the WordPress Ajax-based code is using it. | If you do not `die`, execution will continue and might generate extra output which might break whatever information you are trying to send from the server to the browser. Strictly speaking, you might not need to `die`, but there is very little point in taking the risk.
In more general terms, WordPress Ajax shows its age and the lack of experience working with Ajax when it was designed. You should use the WordPress JSON routes instead, as they can have a better URL structure, and the programming structure is more logical and modular. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WP All Import / Update stock quantity from multiple XML files
Hi there as the title says, I am trying to import stock quantity from multiple xml files, I am trying to save stock in custom filed and then add code to sum this new filed and existing new and then update new stock value, but it doesnt seem to be working, any advice? | I managed to get it working, here is answer:
\- when importing update new stock to custom field: _custom_stock_placeholder
\- update only this field: _custom_stock_placeholder

Slow Query On Search
Please I have a very slow query on my wordpress search, checking the processes it takes upto 40sec to execute using `SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST;` below is a sample of query

Wordpress select field - show current value?
Function is generating select field, what can I do to set 'selected' currently saved value ... if possible? For example, previously I selected 36 and saved **"update_option('_nos',$myvalue)"**
function woo_add_spin() {
woocommerce_wp_select(
array(
'id' => '_select_nf',
'label' => __( 'Select #spins: ', 'woocommerce' ),
'selected' => true,
'options' => array(
'24' => __( '24', 'woocommerce' ),
'36' => __( '36', 'woocommerce' ),
'48' => __( '48', 'woocommerce' )
)
)
);
}
so every time function is executed i would like to check current value and set "selected" to the option with the same value or using jQuery check currently set value and just add 'selected' accordingly ? | By referencing to the source code, this function supports an argument called `value` which you can pass one of the keys inside the `options` array like this:
function woo_add_spin() {
woocommerce_wp_select([
'id' => '_select_nf',
'label' => __( 'Select #spins: ', 'woocommerce' ),
'selected' => true,
'value' => '24',
'options' => [
'24' => __( '24', 'woocommerce' ),
'36' => __( '36', 'woocommerce' ),
'48' => __( '48', 'woocommerce' )
]
]);
}
By looking inside the source code, WooCommerce also tries to fetch the value of the select field using the `id` field and the post meta but, you can't take advantage of this built-in feature because you're saving the settings inside the `wp_options` table. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Redirecting "wrong" but working links to their canonical URL in order to prevent search engine penalties (e.g. /123/ at the end of URLs)
The WordPress permalink system is really nice as it even detects minor problems with URLs and is loading the correct page. For example we have a page with an URL like this:
> <
If we type
> <
or
> <
into the Browser console we are also redirected to the correct page. Nice!
However if we type
> <
With a random number at the end we are not redirected (though the correct page or post is displayed). The marketing guys of our company told me that this _might be bad for SEO duplicate content issues_? Why are those links not redirected and can/should I prevent this? | Ensure that you provide a canonical url - this should ensure that search engines don't see the url variants as duplicate content.
Additionally, appending a number on the url, will make Wordpress try to access that page.
Using a debug plugin, such as Debug Bar, is quite useful for diagnosing this kind of behaviour as it will show the query performed on each page. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Why wordpress cannot write to directory and how to fix it?
I got message
To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed.
The solution is here
<
However, I don't quite understand about ownership.
Who owns the file?
> However, I don't quite understand about ownership.
I'd recommend a review of Understanding Linux File Permissions at Linux.com - it never hurts to know what's going on at the system level.

1001 is the first "userland" user created on the system (system-level users typically have ID's in the 0-1000 range).
In this case, the user entry may be missing from `/etc/passwd` or Filezilla doesn't have read access to `/etc/passwd` to display the username associated with UID 1001.
Ensure that `/etc/passwd` has 0644 permissions (owner read+write, group and global read) and an entry for 1001 exists _or_ contact your hosting provider for assistance. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Relative links in Gutenberg
I'm developing a site on my local machine and am now adding the content that I want to go live with.
But I noticed that when I add a link in the new Gutenberg editor, the link is absolute, e.g. it's something like ` which seems bizarre.
I also have ACF installed and the page links I define with that are perfect. I changed the permalink for one page, and all the places I had it in ACF updated automatically, but I had to manually change the links in content pages. And when I go live, I'm going to have to change them all again.
That seems incredibly weird to me. To the point that I think I'm missing something simple. So am I? | It doesn't have anything to do with Gutenberg. It's just the way WordPress stores links in the main content. Anytime you add a link in the WP editor, it automatically puts in the absolute path. ACF and other forms of custom postmeta instead store the post ID, so whenever its slug/permalink changes they are automatically updated.
When you push content from your local site, just use a database migration plugin, which will handle all the URL changes. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to get post ID in a Page?
I'm trying to list all of my posts in a page(with post's content). Everything is showing correctly but the audio player which uses post id to get the URL of an attachment in the post is not showing. I'm using the following code to get the post ID:-
global $wp_query;
$postID = $wp_query->$post->ID;
$file_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, sound_s, true );
$fileUrl = wp_get_attachment_url($file_id);
$attr = array(
'src' => $fileUrl,
'loop' => '',
'autoplay' => '',
'preload' => 'none'
);
echo wp_audio_shortcode( $attr );
It works in the post itself but when I try to list it in the page the post ID shows page Id instead. Please help me with this. | You should not use globals directly. There are some nice wrapper functions in the WordPress API. If you want to retrieve the ID of the current post or page just use **get_the_ID()**.
Without any test ... you could write the functionality in this way:
$file_id = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'sound_s', true );
$file_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $file_id );
echo wp_audio_shortcode( [ 'src' => $file_url ] );
I don't know much about the plugin that you use but why don't you loop just over the list of posts:
$posts = get_posts();
foreach ( $posts as $item ) {
$file_id = get_post_meta( $item->ID, 'sound_s', true );
$file_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $file_id );

If I use a static page-slug.php for a page, is the database still queried?
I wonder how to display a static page in order to increase the page load a little bit: The first option is to put the content in the database (via the Admin GUI), the second option is to create a `page-slug.php` without calling the loop within `page-slug.php`. The latter option would be useless if the database is still queried, which leads to my questions
* Is it better in terms of page load to use `page-slug.php` for static pages instead of putting the content into the database?
* Will wordpress query the database if I use `page-slug.php` (with the loop) in order to check if there's any content for this page? | Yes. It will. WordPress will query the database for that page regardless of whether or not you use the loop.
If you're only talking about adding a chunk of content into the editor, then you're way overestimating the impact of querying the database for a single page.
There are plenty of plugins available that will render your pages to static files that won't query the database (or run PHP at all), if that's the direction you want to go in. WP Super Cache and WP Rocket are two that come to mind. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I've removed my /author/ slug but it clashes with new and existing pages. Any fixes?
I've successfully removed my author slug using this tutorial: <
so it's like website.com/author/cixxy to website.com/cixxy
My question is, if I have an existing page like website.com/readme , and a new user registers as readme nickname, then his author page will just redirect to the readme page.
Or if they registered already, then I won't be able to use that nickname for a page anymore, right? So if they registered as "Contact" username, I won't be able to have a /contact slug.
How can I prevent this? I see behance.net, facebook etc using both pages as the root and also users, so I'm guessing there has to be a way. | There is no way around uniqueness being necessary, with the effects you described. Personally I wouldn't remove the part that makes ensuring uniqueness of the slug much easier, like the author part, in my mind it is just a sign of a well structured site. Anyhow, there is `validate_username()` function with the `validate_username` hook. You can use it to disallow certain usernames, so e.g. a custom list of stopwords you want to enforce.

'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'field' => 'term_id',
'terms' => '1',
),
),
); | WP can already do this out of the box thanks to the `include_children` parameter of `tax_query` which is true by default.
While it is false by default for REST API parameters, it can be turned back on using a tax query, so you do not need to tell it the sub-terms.
Here's an example taken from the official Make WP blog, just do something like this:
const query = {
categories: {
terms: [ 3, 5, 7 ],
include_children: true,
},
};
wp.apiFetch( { path: wp.url.addQueryArgs( '/wp/v2/posts', query ) } );

Disallow author with robots.txt
I would like to **disallow the authors** (of posts for example) in the file robots.txt. In fact, I noticed that for some of my sites, Google indexed the authors of articles, which I don't want to. Someone thinks is it possible ?
(I tried something like Disallow: **/author/** but I'm not sure it works...)
Thank you in advance,
ArbreMojo. | If you use Yoast SEO, you can go to Users > All Users, and in the Yoast SEO settings, check _Do not allow search engines to show this author's archives in search results_. See this link.
OR
With robots.txt, you can add:

Disallow: /author/*

How to handle expired assets/content when user has direct URL
An E-Commerce site has PDF coupons that expire after a certain date. What is the best way to handle them? I've heard allowing 404's aren't great for SEO and 301 redirects can clog up the .htaccess.
There is already a landing page generated through internal links if a coupon is expired, so ideally I would like a way to capture requests to expired assets and redirect to that page.
I'm curious, what ways are there to handle this? | Are these pdfs all in a sub-directory somewhere? You could add an .htaccess file to your sub-directory root then put this as the top line.

When variable value have space between word, doesnt show any result WP_Query
I now create a widget, that return the post has same tag enter in inputbox
I use WP_Query, but i have a problem. when i enter word with space in inputbox dont return any result, but when enter word dont have space its work correctly
This is my inputbox
<input type="text" class="widefat" id="<?php echo esc_attr($this->get_field_id('tagCategory')) ?>"
name="<?php echo esc_attr($this->get_field_name('tagCategory')) ?>"
value="<?php if (isset($tagCategory)) echo esc_attr($tagCategory); ?>"/></p>
This is my Query
$wpbp = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'tag' => $tagCategory,
'posts_per_page' => $numberOfPosts,
'orderby' => 'id',
'order' => 'ASC'
)
); | It is correct behavior. And the reason for this problem is pretty simple...
When you use `tag` param in `WP_Query`, then it searches for tags with given slug (string used in URLs) - so there should be no spaces. There are 7 parameters for slug searching in WP_Query:
* tag (string) - use tag slug.
* tag_id (int) - use tag id.
* tag__and (array) - use tag ids.
* tag__in (array) - use tag ids.
* tag__not_in (array) - use tag ids.
* tag_slug__and (array) - use tag slugs.
* tag_slug__in (array) - use tag slugs.
As you can see none of above takes name as value.
If you want to search for tag name, then you should use `tax_query`:
...
'tax_query' => array(
array( 'taxonomy' => 'post_tag', 'field' => 'name', 'terms' => $value )

Increment user meta data by 1 each time a page is visited
Can't for the life of me figure out why this isn't working, I've tried like below with $val, I've tried sticking the get_user_meta into the meta_value, I've tried just adding +1 in the meta_value but no matter what it always sets the value of the meta data to the number I'm trying to increment by so if its +1 it'll be set to 1 and +4 to 4.
if(!get_user_meta(bp_displayed_user_id(), 'page_visits', true) >= 0){

update_user_meta(bp_displayed_user_id(), 'page_visits', $val); | This line is wrong.
`if(!get_user_meta(bp_displayed_user_id(), 'page_visits', true) >= 0){`
That is "not value greater than or equal to zero". The NOT operator has precedence over the greater than comparison.
So, assuming the value is a number, then NOT a number evaluates to false. Then you are comparing false to greater than or equal to zero. False == zero, so this evaluates to true, which means that in your next line, you set it explicitly to zero.
So, the operator precedence is likely screwing you up. Try adding parentheses around your comparison before negating it.
`if ( !( get_user_meta( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'page_visits', true ) >= 0 ) ) {`
Also, counting page visits in user meta like this is fairly horrible for performance. Best to use some other real analytics solution. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Image Upload Custom Form Field for Category and Custom Taxonomy
I am currently customizing a Wordpress Theme, and I want to add a new form field on Category for uploading an image. The image should be retrieved from the Media Library.
I found out that there are ways to do this, but I am not sure which one is the best practice or the recommended approach.
Thank you in advance for your help. | There are several tasks you need to perform when you choose to do with custom code. And I personally think they're complicated tasks. Here is the list of what I can imagine.
1. Hook to the category edit page to add a new form for upload image. This can be done with the hook `{$taxonomy}_add_form_fields`.
2. Handle the image upload. Depend on what you want the upload field to be, it can be a HTML `file` input or a button to open the Media Library popup.
3. If it's just a `file` input, then you have to work with pure PHP to handle upload via `$_FILES`.
4. If it uses Media Library, then you need to work with JS to trigger the popup.
As you're developing a theme, it can take a lot of time working on that. Besides, it belongs to plugin territory.
So, I'd suggest using a plugin for that. Meta Box framework with MB Term Meta extension works great in this case.
