Post meta data not showing in frontend, until hitting 'update' button
I try to insert around 2000 video-posts into WP. There is a custom field in the theme for the video-url, so I add the video-url to the post meta data with the corresponding field name. ACF seems not to be used by this theme (Edge, Journo).
This meta data shows up correctly in that field in the backend, however not in the frontend until I hit the update button for every post. After hitting the update button, everything works perfectly.
I tried so far:
* wp_insert_post with a postarr containing 'meta_input'
* wp_insert_post followed by add_post_meta
* additional update_post_meta
* additional wp_update_post
* additional update_field
* different versions of creating the post as a draft and then use wp_publish_post at different times
Does anyone know which functions excactly are triggered by the update button? Or other ideas?
Thanks in advance! | Thanks for your answers! Maybe I was a bit unclear, but I don't use ACF, it is just a field that comes with the theme.
However, this question and answers helped to find the problem: <
My WP metadata table entry was incomplete after creating a post programatically, the theme required another field. Saving the post again through the UI fixed that.
Using a plugin to display the meta data I compared the post's meta data after inserting the post and after hitting the update button, so I identified the missing value in the meta data..!
Hope this helps also for others with a similar issue! | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Change register form action url
I have 2 registration forms, default one on `/wp-login.php?action=register` for "recruiter" users, other one on `/wp-login.php?action=register&type=candidat` for "candidates" users
My problem is that on candidate form, the form tag still has `/wp-login.php?action=register` as the action URL, and I want it to be `/wp-login.php?action=register&type=candidat`
I tried updating wp-login.php file but if I update Wordpress in the future, my code will be overwritten
I've tried other topics recommanding to use 'register_url' hook but it doesn't seem to work | You could do something like this:
<?php
add_action( 'register_form', function() {
$get_type = filter_input( INPUT_GET, 'type', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
if ( ! $get_type ) {
return;
}
?>
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $get_type ); ?>" />
<?php
});
This will add the `type` parameter as a hidden field on the form if it is set in the GET query string. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I need use is_single in functions.php
I need to use validation is_single('wordpress') in file functions.php.
But the function is_single() does not work in the file functions.php.
What can I do so that I can use is_single() in file functions.php?
If more, then:
I'm doing a check, its single page or not.
And for single page I am set custom function..
Please help me someone. | `is_single` most likely only works inside of The Loop, and `functions.php` loads before you're in The Loop.
You could try something like this:
add_action( 'wp_head', function(){
var_dump(is_single());
});
And now you see that `is_single()` returns `true`.
EDIT: I was probably off for suggesting it only works inside The Loop, but there's definitely better places for `is_single` than in `functions.php`, and if you're checking the "singleness" of a page, wait until you're in the request proper, or the template, to use it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Optimized PHP & Wordpress settings for speed/performance?
I have a big site with several plugins that take up memory, a lot of requests to the server, etc. I've maxxed out my hosting to help account for this, but are there optimum PHP and Wordpress settings for big heavy site, or just optimum PHP base settings for Wordpress period.
Here are my current settings:
allow_url_fopen = Disabled
allow_url_include = Disabled
display_errors = Enabled
enable_dl = Disabled
file_uploads = Enabled
max_execution_time = 600
max_input_time = 400
max_input_vars = 10000
memory_limit = 128M
session.save_path = (blank)
upload_max_filesize = 2M | From a WordPress perspective, there's not a lot to configure for performance. You can set `define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );` in your `wp-config.php` to disable logging, which will gain you some minimal savings.
Beyond that, I would recommend working on making sure your heavier plugins are optimized as best as you can, reduce the number of requests if possible, and optimize your queries.
You can take a look at plugins like Debug Bar to get an idea of what may be taking up the most resources on any given request, and services like New Relic can provide deeper insights to what's going on with your server in general. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WP_User_Query with 2 sets of conditions 'AND'

Combine two different filter callback functions

WooCommerce does not translate every string
So I have an issue with WooCommerce translation to German language - basically it does not translate every single string. I'm using a child theme of "Neighborhood" theme and we have a plugin Loco Translate active.

URL to the site : <
I should mention that this issue has occured once we've switched from German to English and then back to German ( meaning after the language toggle, before the toggle site was on German and everything worked great ).
I've also tried disabling Loco Translate and tried different translation methods recommended by WooCommerce, yet still there was no change.
Any help would be appreciated! | So as you explained I installed fresh WordPress with woo-commerce and Loco Translate is working fine, I am using storefront theme, So i guess It's something your theme is not compatible.

You can add a generic Customizer control with options for which template to use for archives, then inside index.php you would just check the saved value of that control with `get_theme_mod()` and change the template accordingly, or include another template file, for example:
switch ( get_theme_mod( 'layout' ) ) {
case 'fullwidth':
get_template_part( 'index', 'fullwidth' );
break;
case 'sidebarleft':
get_template_part( 'index', 'sidebarleft' );
break;
case 'sidebarright':
get_template_part( 'index', 'sidebarright' );

Possible to have duplicate usernames on different two multisites
I have a multisite set up with two sites setup:
example.com/site01
example.com/site02
With both sites, they are using the same custom theme which generates a default list of users (`publisher01`, `publisher02`, ..., `publisher10`)
However, when I activate the theme on the second site, the users don't get generated due to the fact of having the same usernames.
Is it possible to have the same list of users (but not the same user) in each site apart of the network?
The only way I can think of is to have it unique Wordpress installs, and not apart of the network. | Short answer, No.
Because WordPress Multisite stores all users in one table, you can't have two user on two sites in network with the same username.

update_option_{$option} Too Few Arguments
Adding a callback to `"update_option_{$my_option}"` results in the error _Too few arguments to function_.
My callback accepts `$old_value` and `$new_value`. If I remove `$new_value` from the callback declaration and debug `$old_value` I am supplied with the correct `$old_value`. Why isn't `$new_value` being supplied by WordPress? | When you call `add_action`, you need to tell it how many parameters of the action that you want to receive. The default is just the first parameter. If you want more, then you tell it so.
`add_action( 'update_option_whatever', 'example_callback', 10, 2 );`
The 10 is the priority (10 is default).
The 2 is the number of parameters to send to your callback (1 is the default).
So if example_callback looks like this:
`function example_callback( $old_value, $new_value )`
Then you need that 10,2 on the add_action. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Admin List Dynamic Heading

The object for given post type is stored in global variable called `$wp_post_types`, so you can modify it:
function change_page_post_type_object() {
global $wp_post_types;
$wp_post_types['page']->labels->name = 'Not-Pages ;)';

How to parse Yoast SEO Snippet Variables

}

add_filter( 'block_categories_all', function( $categories, $post ) {
return array_merge(
$categories,
array(
array(
'slug' => 'my-slug',
'title' => 'my-title',
),
)
);
}, 10, 2 );

How to get all attributes with their terms related to specific Woocommerce product category
As we know, to get terms of specific attribute added to a product we can use:
$attr_terms = $product->get_attribute( 'attr_slug' );
OR to get all terms of specific attribute regardless of a product we can use
$attr_terms = get_terms( 'pa_attr_slug' );
But how to get all attributes with their terms added to products of specific product category?
Something like:
$cat_attrs = ... ($cat->id);
foreach($cat_attrs as $cat_attr) {
echo $cat_attr->name; // name of attribute
foreach($cat_attr->terms as $term) {
echo $term->name; // name of attribute term
}
} | Well, I found the following solution:
$args = array(
'category' => array( 'category_slug' )
// or 'term_taxonomy_id' => 4 i.e. category ID
);
foreach( wc_get_products($args) as $product ){
foreach( $product->get_attributes() as $attr_name => $attr ){
echo wc_attribute_label( $attr_name ); // attr label
// or get_taxonomy( $attr_name )->labels->singular_name;
foreach( $attr->get_terms() as $term ){
echo $term->name;
}

Same Server, Same PHP, One Site Doesn't Work
I have three domains on the same server (CentOS 7.5.1804), all running WordPress 4.9.8, all running the same version of PHP (7.2.10) and using the same php.ini file (literally, not the same php.ini file copied to each directory, the exact same single file).
The problem is that on only one domain, WordPress thinks that I don't have `php-mysql` installed, yet the other two sites work without issue.
I get the following on the non-working domain:
> Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.
Despite the fact that the same `php.ini` file is being used, on the non-working site, the `phpinfo()` report is missing the `mysqli` section.
Domains are: hummdis.com (non-working), dev.hummdis.com (working), exoticallyplugged.com (working).
Thoughts?? | So, I've resolved the issue and I'm not 100% sure what fixed it. However, these are the steps that I took:
1. `yum update`
2. This resulted in:

Overriding a plugin's pluggable function in theme's function
I came across this snippet - < \- that creates a function with the same name as an existing WC function as a means of overriding it.
I also learnt that this way of overriding works because the original function is 'pluggable' due to the !function_exists() function.
My question is since plugins gets loaded before themes i.e., WC would have created the function first, shouldn't the attempt to override the function fail because the 'if (!function_exists('woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart'))' condition isn't satisfied?
Appreciate any input! | The WooCommerce file that defines its pluggable functions isn't loaded until after themes are loaded. It does this by hooking a function that includes the file into the `after_setup_theme` hook:
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', array( $this, 'include_template_functions' ), 11 );
That's from the `/includes/class-woocommerce.php` file in WooCommerce. The `include_template_functions()` function includes the file that defines functions like `woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart()`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a plugin or a way in the wordpress that would let us have different versions of a post or page accessibe to users?

I want to be able to have this old revision accessible to the viewers.

WooCommerce - Moving Product Price to the Left of Add to Cart Button
I am using the theme Salient and want to move the product price to the left of the add to cart button. Currently I have my product price above the button as you can see in the image below: ![enter image description here](
I already moved the price element around by adding some php to this custom plugin called "Snippets". It puts it right above the button rather than above the "Acrylic on Canvas" text. Here is the code:
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_price', 10 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_price', 25 ); | So I think that now you just have to add the proper css. On both elements (price and button) place:

Inserting additional into menu item text
I'd like a specific menu item to have more spaces between words.
**For example:** Word Word
**Needs to be:** Word Word
In the menu editor, WP strips-out any additional spaces added with the spacebar or using the HTML code ` `.
What's the next most efficient method? | Previously I assumed WP would strip HTML, so I never tried it.
The HTML below works like a charm, using the WP menu editor:
`Word <span style="margin-left: 20px;"> </span> Word`
(however, inputting ` ` didn't)
Alternatively, the CSS trick mentioned by Jacob and Linda would work well too:
`word-spacing: 3px;`
My menu item actually has 4 words, and I just needed to increase the middle spacing.
In the end, it's nice avoiding a PHP function or JS client-side. I just wonder is there any issue down the line having HTML in my menu title. Other than my menu rendering in the page layout, I can't think of where else I may output the menu items to. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it possible to remove the posts_per_page limit on a specific post type?
I'd like to know if I can remove the limit on the posts_per_page for a specific post type.
In the archive.php page I'm displaying different post type, and for the specific "publications" post type I want to display all the posts. How can I achieve this without impacting the traditional "post" type? | You can hook into the `pre_get_posts` action, to access the `$query` object.
You should use your action hook inside your functions.php. An example of what your function could look like:
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'publications_archive_query' );
function publications_archive_query( $query ) {
if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query()) {
if ( $query->get('post_type') === 'publications' ) {
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', 5 );
}
}
Narrow down what is the query you are modifying by using conditional checks.
`$query->get('post_type')` to get current's Query post_type to check against.
`is_main_query` to make sure you are only applying your query modification to the main query.

Woocommerce - Adding row to cart table
I would like to add an extra row to the Cart Table in Woommerce, but I can't find the right action.

Here's the code (in `functions.php`):

echo '<tr>TEST</tr>';

And this is the output:
<form class="woocommerce-cart-form" action="..." method="post">
TEST<table class="shop_table ...">
etc. | You already have the right "action", which is `woocommerce_after_cart_contents`.
But when I tried the markup you used:
function quality_certificates(){
echo '<tr>TEST</tr>';
}
this was the visual output: _(I actually initially tested with the Twenty Seventeen theme; sorry about that. But this one is tested with Storefront)_

Printing HTML codes
I'm pretty new in PHP, this is a code in the comment.php file:
printf(
/* translators: 1: title. */
esc_html__( '<hr><Thoughts about '. get_the_title() .'<hr>', 'rainbowcats' ),
'<span>' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'usp_title',true) . '</span>'
);
As you probably can guess, it prints the `<hr>`
Anyway around this? (Remember, I'm pretty new, never used the command printf before.. | If I understand your question well, your result shows your `<hr>` in text form.
When you're using `esc_html__( string $text, string $domain = 'default' )`, the returned output is escaped, it means :
* `"` is replaced with `"`
* `&` is replaced with `&`
* `<` is replaced with `<`
* `>` is replaced with `>`
So your `<hr>` are returning as text, not as html markups.
To fix that, you can simply move your `<hr>` outside of your `esc_html__()` :
<?php printf(
'<hr>'.esc_html__( 'Thoughts about '. get_the_title(), 'rainbowcats' ).'<hr>';
); ?>
Furthermore, I don't understand what you are trying to achieve with `'<span>' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'usp_title',true) . '</span>'` as an argument of `printf(format,arg)`, you should have called your arg with `%s` in your first parameter. But keep in mind to keep it outside `esc_html__()` !

I can easily override files like header.php, footer.php using child theme(just copy and paste the file).
But I can't override any files which is on "inc" folder (any folder). How can I override those files? | WordPress only looks for the default template files while loading the child theme. So does woocommerce.
Any extra folder or file that exists in your parent theme **can not** be overridden, unless the developer is using actions and filters that allows you to hook into them. Therefore, a simple `require()` or `include()` can't be overridden by a child theme.
What you can do is to track the template file that is calling the files from the `inc` folder, and then override those in your theme's folder. You might need to go as back as `functions.php`.

How to include jQuery into my plugin so I can use it on plugin page?
How can I include jQuery file into my plugin so I can use it on plugin page? | JQuery is a part of Wordpress core, so it is automatically there for you to use (i.e. you do not need to register it). However, you still need to enqueue it.
This can be done as follows:
function my_script() {
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_script');
This loads jQuery from Wordpress core, the jQuery files can be found at /wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js if you are interested.

wp_enqueue_script( 'my_script_handle', plugins_url(('js/some_script.js, __FILE__), array('jquery'), '1.0', true);

$query->set( 'no_found_rows', true ); // Avoid counting rows, faster processing.

How to Get Rid of Unwanted Backslashes in WordPress Form Input inside admin menu option

$_POST = array_map( 'stripslashes_deep', $_POST );
$_GET = array_map( 'stripslashes_deep', $_GET );
$_COOKIE = array_map( 'stripslashes_deep', $_COOKIE );
$_REQUEST = array_map( 'stripslashes_deep', $_REQUEST ); }

_Returns 0 if magic_quotes_gpc is off, 1 otherwise. Or always returns FALSE as of PHP 5.4.0._
I guess this can cause the first problem (that your code not works).
Next **stripslashes_deep**
You can use code like this:
$_POST = stripslashes_deep( $_POST );
But just check the WordPress docs for the function because you can break functions of the core or other plugins that expect their values slashed.
So it is probably better to work only on your own input vars:

could you please help me get it working in my plugin for woocommerce orders list?
Furthermore, I'm also a bit stuck about how, after adding that action, to scan which orders are checked and apply the bulk action only on the selected orders. | As LoicTheAztec commented, the post here Using custom bulk actions on admin orders list in Woocommerce 3 helped me to make the code for my plugin.

Domain Pointing to www.domain.com:8888
I have uploaded my website through FTP and database to mysql, the domain is now showing www.domain.com:8888 and seems to be pointing to my local host still.
how do i redirect this to tell it to now locate the active domain online, what file do I need to correct?
Any help appreciated.
thanks. | Moving a site is more than moving the database. And it is more than updating the wp-options table's URLs (although that is important). You also have to change any references to the old URL in the database.
I use a plugin called "Better Search and Replace" to update the URLs in the database. (There are other similar plugins; this is the one I prefer. YMMV.)
But I also use my own procedure, developed over many site moves, to properly move a site from one place to another, whether that be a development-to-live move, or a move to a new hosting place.

Simple way to add custom class and ids to individual Gutenberg blocks
Is there a simple way to add classnames to individual core Gutenberg blocks?
Blocks is a great step toward moving to a web where HTML structurally/functionally describes elements, which are styled elsewhere in CSS. However, this is limited in that blocks cannot be easily classed?

Bulk upload images in upload folder does not show in media library
my website currently in staging site and I host it locally. Today, I upload some pictures from Live website to `wp-content > upload` folder but It does not show in Media library, however if I use link `domain.com/wp-content/uploads/year/month/img`, I can see the picture.
I've tried several things like changing the directory permissions to 777/775 but it does not work.
Any ideas? | Welcome to WordPress Stack Exchange community.
Actually adding media directly to uploads folder, will not be shown in WordPress Media Library as those images which you have added manually in upload folders are not stored in the database. However, if you manually use image path then they will be accessible but it will not get displayed in Media Library.
WordPress stores all uploaded media files as a media post in the database and displays them in Media Library.
So please upload all images in 'Media' in your website backend, instead of manually uploading them in the upload folder.

When does the Yoast SEO filter hook wpseo_sitemap_urlimages fire?
I am trying to attach a simple function to the Yoast SEO filter hook `wpseo_sitemap_urlimages` and get the function to run, but I cannot do so. My code is:
function tp_filter_wpseo_sitemap_urlimages($images, $post_id) {
error_log("test message");

To get this function to run, I have tried opening the following Yoast XML sitemaps:
* sitemap index (<
* post sitemap (<
* page sitemap (<
My eventual goal with this is to add additional images to the Yoast post and page sitemaps (per these Yoast instructions).
The only support Yoast has offered for this is to direct me to this page. | What I wanted to say in my previous comment:
This hook is only fired when the sitemap is being **built**. After that, it's **cached** and always served from cache. That means you'll never see any change on the frontend because it's all cached.
To disable the cache you can use the following code during development:
add_filter( 'wpseo_enable_xml_sitemap_transient_caching', '__return_false' );
After that, the sitemap is never served from cache but always built when viewing the sitemap in the frontend. Then you'll see some changes. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to update mu-plugin
I'm managing a wordpress site that was developed by another party, and they put a bunch of plugins in the mu-plugins folder. These plugins can't be updated via the default interface of WordPress, and must be updated manually.
I can't find any details on how to correctly update these plugins. Is it just a matter of replacing the current files with the updated version of the plugin?
An additional question: can I just transfer these plugins to the plugins folder, or would there be a risk of the plugin/site breaking? Assuming all these plugins are correctly programmed and available in the WP plugins directory. | First, please check this out: <
In most cases mu plugins consist of a singular php file in that directory. In that case you could just replace the file. In any case, there is neither a process for installation nor uninstallation, you simply drop files in that dir or delete them from it.
It's as it is always with updates: Back the directory up, replace the plugin files one by one and check if everything's still working as expected.
Never used the mu-plugins dir to store regular plugins. As e.g. activation hooks don't fire in there, not every plugin is suitable to be put there. IF a regular plugin was put there, I would try to remove it (again, backup!) and install the latest version as you would any other. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Counts Posts ( custom post type ) by Author in author.php

?>
<h2>Post Count: <?php echo $post_count; ?></h2> | OK, so there are some problems with your code...
1. Your SQL isn't very safe. It would be much nicer, if you used prepare method:

$wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_author = %d AND post_type = %s AND post_status = %s",
$curauth->ID, 'post', 'publish'
)
);
2. You clearly say, that you want to count only posts `post_type = 'post'` is the part that is responsible for that. So just remove that part or modify it according to your needs.
3. Be careful counting different post types - remember that attachment (and so on) is also a post type.
4. Use built in functions. It would be much nicer to use `count_user_posts`.

How to get data about category in category.php
I have to make custom `category.php` template, but how do I get data about category in `category.php`? I need these:
* Category name and id
* Category's parent name and id
* All category's items
Let's say our link is www.website.com/category/sub-category and what we want is to display category and sub-category fullname + all sub-category items. | OK, so there are many ways to solve this. You can use special template tags for some of these (for example `the_archive_title` to show the title of current category, and so on).
But to achieve all of these, you'll need to get `get_queried_object`.
If you're viewing category, this function will return current category object.
So after:
$current_cat = get_queried_object();
You can get its name using:
echo $current_cat->name;
And its id using:
echo $current_cat->term_id;
To get its parent:
if ( $current_car->parent ) {
$parent = get_category( $current_car->parent );
echo $parent->name;
echo $parent->term_id;
}
And to get all subcategories of `$parent`:
$categories = get_categories( array('parent' => $parent->term_id) );
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo $category->name;

Omit specific product categories from WooCommerce shortcode
I _assumed_ this would be simple, but I'm having a hard time sorting it out. All I want to do is use the standard `[product_categories]` shortcode from WooCommerce to show all of my product categories _except_ for a few. Basically I have two types of categories: location based (basically sales lot inventory) and style based (different types of products), so I want to show a list of the _style_ categories (which could change or have additional styles added at some point) and leave out the locations, which are unlikely to change anytime soon.
So therein lies the problem. I know I can use the shortcode to only display certain categories by slug or ID, but I'm hoping to avoid having to modify the short code every time we need to add a new style. If I could do something like `[product_categories category!="inventory1, inventory2, inventory3"]` that should fix my issue!
Is this possible? | I submitted this question to the WooCommerce devs as well and they've officially confirmed it's not currently possible without modifying the shortcode. I will be submitting a feature request, though, so should anybody else find themselves in need of this, please track down that feature request and give it some props or submit it again on your own. I don't think the functionality should be difficult for them to include, so I would image it will have a decent likelihood of being adopted for a future release (if it gets enough steam, of course).

How to add a class to the <html> element?

?>
<html class="html-homepage">

}

Wordpress default audio playlist - how to add custom caption?

How often does this case happen? If it rarely happens, it might be easiest to upload the file a second time, and change the caption, information as needed.
Create your own playlist shortcode code based on the default one found in `wp-includes/media.php`.

Wordpress function, Run using Crontab

On another note even if I disable WP_Cron, would `wp_schedule_single_event()` still work? As it would be easier to implement a solution this way. | define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
This line disables the **default** behaviour of WP Cron. Which is being triggered by a user that visits the site. This is bad for a couple of reasons (nobody might visit, tasks are started via apache handler instead of PHP CLI, ...).
Now, if you have disabled it, you **need** another way to run WP Cron. Using crontab you could add an entry like so
*/5 * * * * php /absolute/path/to/wordpress_instance/wp-cron.php
Now wp-cron.php will run every 5 minutes via PHP CLI. This way your scheduled tasks will still run.
**If you disable the default cron and don't have an alternative as mentioned above, various WordPress functions may fail to execute!**

I want to change the Wordpress comments file
In the standard structure of Wordpress, a warning page appears when the user makes spam or goes too fast. The link structure of the warning page is "/wp-comments-post.php". Briefly (see images) < <

How can I get all values from my array in a loop in php?
I've following array:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 585
[1] => 596
)
)
Now I want to print all values (585 & 595 .....) row for row in a loop. I need this an a loop because I need to to something with every value before the output. The problem is that I don't get all values, just one:
foreach ( $entries as $entry ) {
echo $entry[ 0 ];
}
What am I doing wrong? | If all your entries are nested, then you need to run another loop inside your first loop, but I'd test it to see if it's an array and that it's not empty.
foreach ( $entries as $entry ) {
if ( is_array( $entry ) && !empty( $entry ) ) {
foreach ( $entry as $sub_entry ) {
echo $sub_entry;
}
}
}

How to get time difference between publish date and now?
I want to get time difference like "posted 2 days ago".
I know you can use the following to get the difference.
human_time_diff( get_the_time('U'), current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) . ' ago';
But I don't want to use that
date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Melbourne'); // set the time zone
$timestamp = strtotime( $post->post_date ); // get timestamp
$now = time();// get the curren time
$time_passed = $timestamp - $now; // get the differnece
// display time
$min = $time_passed / 60;
if( $min < 60 ) {
return sprintf( avantgardia__( '%s min. ago', 'newspeak' ), intval( $min) );
} | Try the `date_diff()` / `DateTime::diff()` function in PHP:
// Object-oriented style.
$datetime1 = new DateTime( $post->post_date );
$datetime2 = new DateTime(); // current date
$interval = $datetime1->diff( $datetime2 );
echo $interval->format( '%a days old' );
// .. or procedural style.
$datetime1 = date_create( $post->post_date );
$datetime2 = date_create(); // current date
$interval = date_diff( $datetime1, $datetime2 );
echo $interval->format( '%a days old' );
In PHP 5.2.2 or later, you can compare the date ("ago" vs "later") like so:
if ( $datetime1 < $datetime2 ) {
echo $interval->format( 'Published %a days ago.' );
} elseif ( $datetime1 > $datetime2 ) {
echo $interval->format( 'Will be published in %a days later.' );
} else {
echo 'Published today.';
}
you can see the `$interval->format(...)` in

Create an article from another Java application
I'm trying to find a way to create an article in a Wordpress portal using a Java application I developed. I have some clients that need to publish on this portal, but it should be something automated by this Java application. Is there any way (plugin or api) that I can send a JSON to the Wordpress portal (POST) and publish the article? I thought about creating, inside my Java application, a JSON and sending it to the Wordpress portal, something like:
{"author": "John Doe", "title": "New article", "Content": "Lorem Ipsum ...", ...}
How can I do this? | Yes, there is a REST API at `/wp-json` with core content endpoints for posts pages etc
For example, my current latest blog post:
<
Is available via a `GET` request as a JSON object at:
<
And I can send a similar object via an authenticated `POST` request to create a new post to ` or a HTTP `UPDATE` or `DELETE` request.
Note that WP includes an auth method out of the box that requires a nonce and a cookie of a user capable of creating posts in order to do this. For external applications, you will need a plugin to implement OAuth1/2 or another authentication scheme of your choosing | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How strip the quotation from the meta descrption?
I checked the HTML validator. But, the message is the following.

The meta description is automatic from the content. So, if the content includes the quotation, it is also included in meta descrption. I would like to strip the quotation.

$description = strip_shortcodes($description);
$description = wp_strip_all_tags($description);
What should I add? | Probably, it works for HTML5 Validator.

Different output from WP-CLI in bash vs PHP exec()

when I run `wp package list` in PHP it returns:

The folder that the packages are installed into is set to use your server user's home folder. When you try to execute this command from PHP, however, it is being executed by the webserver's user, which probably has a different home folder, and the package is not installed in there.
You can either load the package manually as part of the system (requiring it in the site's Composer stack, for example), or set the package folder to a location that is shared by both your user and your webserver (and reinstall it afterwards).
