get_next_posts_page_link adds Inexistent directories
Using get_next_posts_page_link function to get url of paginated post's next page url, but it's adding directories to it that simply do not exist.
Here is the code where I use it and probably missing something somewhere
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
// echoing to see the actual url it would bring up if used in an anchor
echo get_next_posts_page_link();
And here are the urls
**On page 1:** mysitedomain.com/paginatedpage/page/2/ _instead of_ mysitedomain.com/paginatedpage/2/
**On page 2:** mysitedomain.com/paginatedpage/2/page/2/ _instead of_ mysitedomain.com/paginatedpage/3/
**On page 3:** mysitedomain.com/paginatedpage/3/page/2/ _instead of_ mysitedomain.com/paginatedpage/4/
And so on... | If you want links to the next and previous pages on a singular page created with `<!--nextpage-->` then you're using the wrong function.
`get_next_posts_page_link()`, as suggested by the name, is for getting the next page _of posts_ and is intended for use on archives.
To add the pagination links to a singular page, use `wp_link_pages()`, and use it inside the loop.
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
wp_link_pages();
endwhile;
By default it outputs page numbers, but if you want "Next" and "Previous" links, set the `next_or_number` argument to `next`:
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
wp_link_pages( array(
'next_or_number' => 'next',
) );
endwhile;
See the documentation for more options for customising the output. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Instagram URL is converted into oEmbed
I have 8 Instagram URLs in this post out of which 3 are not converted into embed/iframes.
I'm using Gutenberg's Instagram embed blog to add the URL's.<
I see the block code in the classic editor which is same as other instagram blocks which render properly but for < it just returns URL.
<!-- wp:core-embed/instagram {"url":" -->
<figure class="wp-block-embed-instagram wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
</div>
</figure>
<!-- /wp:core-embed/instagram -->
I tried using shortcode also it's the same result only the below 3 Instagram posts don't render.
`[embed]
I need help debugging this weired issue
* <
* <
* < | Figured it out.
Embed shortcode stores the oemebd data as post meta using md5 hash.
wp-includes/class-wp-embed.php
// Check for a cached result (stored in the post meta)
$key_suffix = md5( $url . serialize( $attr ) );
$cachekey = '_oembed_' . $key_suffix;
$cachekey_time = '_oembed_time_' . $key_suffix;
And has a cache mechanism to fetch new data only after a day.
I deleted the post meta and then it started working. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to target a search result page?
I'am wondering how to target a search result page within the functions.php file in wordpress.
I know about "is_search" for the search page but what about the search result page ?
Can we put a condition with the query or something?
Thanks in advance.
All the best | > I'am wondering how to target a search result page within the functions.php file in wordpress.
Use `is_search`, and the `search.php` template
> I know about "is_search" for the search page but what about the search result page ?
They are the same thing, `is_search` indicates the main query is a search query. When `is_search` is true, WordPress loads `search.php` as the template, falling back to `archive.php` then `index.php` if they aren't present.
I'm not sure where the idea of a separate search page, and a separate search results page came from, but that's not how it works. There are search results, and a search form that can appear in any place, but no search page.
> Can we put a condition with the query or something?
If you want to modify the main query, use the `pre_get_posts` filter. This is true for all queries, not just search queries, and allows you to intercept the query parameters before WordPress fetches the posts to change what's fetched. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I locate where the actions are defined?
Given the following code:
<form>
<h1> My form <h1>
<input type="text" />
<?php do_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_after_customer_details' ); ?>
</form>
How can I locate the "woocomerce_checkout_after_customer_details" defined?
It prints a button where I have to add functionality, maybe can I just use `add_action()` to add new features? in that case: how can I use `remove_action()` to stop rendering the old button?
Thanks in advance | You can find out what actions are assigned to given hook with this code:
function print_filters_for( $hook = '' ) {
global $wp_filter;
if( empty( $hook ) || ! array_key_exists( $hook, $wp_filter ) ) {
return;
}
print '<pre>';
print_r( $wp_filter[$hook] );
print '</pre>';
}
Call it where you need it. In your case:
<form>
<h1> My form <h1>
<input type="text" />
<?php do_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_after_customer_details' ); ?>
print_filters_for( 'woocommerce_checkout_after_customer_details' );

How to get correct value from checked()?
I am trying to create 2 raido buttons as a category custom field, and in function.php I do:
$feat = get_term_meta( $tag->term_id, '_feat', true );
<input name="feat" type="radio" value="0" <?php checked( '0' ); ?> />Si<br>
<input name="feat" type="radio" value="1" <?php checked( '1' ); ?> />No
And then I do
if ( isset( $_POST['feat'] ) )
update_term_meta( $_POST['tag_ID'], '_feat', $_POST['feat'] );
But I always get "No" as checked | The purpose of `checked()` is to output a `checked="checked"` attribute _based on a current value_. By using it the way you're using it there you're forcing `Si` to never be checked and `No` to always be checked.
So what you want to do is use both arguments of `checked()` to compare the value of the input to the current value:
<input name="feat" type="radio" value="0" <?php checked( $feat, '0' ); ?> />Si<br>
<input name="feat" type="radio" value="1" <?php checked( $feat, '1' ); ?> />No
With that change if `$feat` is `'0'` then the first checked will run, and if it's `'1'` the second will run. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Custom admin plugin read CSV

Filter oembeds tags to modify iframe attributes
By default, when putting another WP url inside a post/page, it oEmbeds it and produces a blockquote and iframe code with the default in the front-end:
<iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" ....></iframe>
It also produces an error in the JS console `XMLHttpRequest cannot load No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access.` which is hinting that it is blocking some scripts to run.
What is the best filter to use to modify the iframe produced in the front-end, for example, we want it to `allow-same-origin` attribute for `sandbox`
<iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin" security="restricted" ....></iframe> | I was able to solve the the CORS issue by using this snippet which now allows this iFrame to `allow-same-origin` or runs scripts inside this domain.
function oembed_iframe_overrides($html, $url, $attr) {
if ( strpos( $html, "<iframe" ) !== false ) {
return str_replace('<iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"', '<iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox', $html); }

return $html;

For example, when you register admin menu page, you have to pass its slug, which is unique identifier for that page. If you register two pages with the same slug, only one will be visible.

Static Page with php echo

Its not working because I some how have to tell the static page where to find my theme. How do I do this? Searched everywhere. | You need more than just telling the page where to find your theme. You will likely need to load WordPress.
You can do that with the following:

How to create a wordpress widget that dynamically changes according to the page
I am creating a plugin in which my custom sidebar widget changes content depending on the page it is loading on. One way to do this is
// Register and load the widget
function custom_register_widget() {
register_widget( 'custom_widget' );
}
//trigger on every sidebar load
add_action('dynamic_sidebar', 'custom_register_widget' );
However, this calls the **register_widget()** on every page load ( thereby making changes to WordPress DB ), thus slowing the page speed.
Is there an efficient way to this? | `register_widget()` doesn't make any changes to the database. All it does is make a particular widget available to be used. It shouldn't be used on the `dynamic_sidebar` hook. It's supposed to be used on the `widgets_init` hook.
If you want the contents of a widget to change depending on the current page, then that logic needs to be in the widget itself, in the `widget()` method:
class My_Widget extends WP_Widget {
public function __construct() {}
public function widget( $args, $instance ) {
if ( is_page() ) {
$page_id = get_queried_object_id();
echo get_the_title( $page_id );
}
}
public function form( $instance ) {}
public function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {}
}

How to hide a field of the editor by default
I am working on a blog with a pretty high number of authors. I want to keep them from accidentally sending a push message to our readers, since the button of the push-plugin we use looks dangerously similar to the "publish"-button.
Is there a way to hide an element like this push-button for certain user groups by default?
I can uncheck it in the view-menu above the editor, of course, but that doesn't change it for all other authors. | Here are a couple options.
You could just create a stylesheet that loads in the admin area, and enable that for certain users if needed. Here is an example of loading a stylesheet in the admin for users with the role of "shopmanager".
function my_admin_styles(){
$user = wp_get_current_user();
if( ! empty($user) && count(array_intersect(["shop_manager"], (array) $user->roles ))) {
wp_enqueue_style(
'admin_css',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/admin-shopmanager.css', array(), filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/css/admin-shopmanager.css')
);
}
}
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'my_admin_styles');
Then in your stylesheet add something like this...
#elementID {
display: none !important;
}

A wordpress site keeps editing wp-content files after migration
We migrated our clients websites to a new server, just afterwards, a client started calling us upon problems with his website's layout and design (basically, all his wp-content/themes files are automatically updated).
I launched a backup restoration, and I noticed that the website gets back to normal just before the end of restoration.
But once restoration ended successfully, I see that the website's design is again changed.
So, to solve this, I did not check database restoration, which makes the site look normal for about 4 - 5 hours, and it deforms eventually after.
We scanned the website for malware, but in vain.
I don't think personally that it's a cache problem, since cache would not change files like `wp-content/themes/header.php` , whose PHP and HTML code get edited just after 4 - 5 hours.
Do you have an idea what may be the source of this problem?
Thank you | You may have an issue with parent/child theme overwriting like Jacob Peattie said in the comments.
Another possibility is that your hosting provider is changing something during that restore process. Check your wp-config.php settings to make sure they haven't changed, and check your Settings > General tab in wp-admin to make sure your domain hasn't changed. The WordPress Address (URL) and the Site Address (URL). I know of a few hosting providers who try to convert the site's domain when migrating and restoring backups, and if you have a custom domain setup and this changes from its original value, then your site doesn't know how to find the theme content that is hard linked and located in wp-content. Any relative links would still work if the base domain changed, but any hard links would have been broken.

How can I do this?
Thank you! | I will allow myself to expand on Ricks answer as there are a few ways to change old domain to new domain and each might be helpful depending on your situation.
1) use the **Better Search and Replace plugin** < plugin as suggested in the answer above.
2) use **Database Search and Replace script** <
You can easily upload it to your server via FTP and then delete once you replace the domain names.
It does not require WordPress to run just PHP and MySQL (so this can be plus or minus depending on your use case i suppose).
3) if you have access to **WP CLI (WordPress command line interface)** you can use the `wp search-replace` command to update the domain <
With WP CLI installed on your server already, this is the quickest way to do that i think and does not require installing anything.
4) do it manually in the database, but with so many tools available i would recommend selecting a solution from #1 to #3. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WP Query - Posts Per Page not working in combination with category__in
I'm not sure whether it's a bug or i'm doing something wrong, but it doesn't seem like `posts_per_page` works at all when using `category__in`.
My query is below, even though I've set `posts_per_page` to `1`, it's still showing all posts.
$posts = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'category__in' => wp_get_post_categories($post->ID),
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'post__not_in' => array($post->ID)
));
Any ideas? | i am testing your code on my dev site and it returns only 1 result (although there are 3 items in the same category), so your code seems to be fine, maybe there is some other filter applied which ignores the posts_per_page param.
You can try using `suppress_filters => true` param in your WP_Query args list or use the get_posts() function instead of WP_Query as the function has supress_filters enabled by default so the code would be
` $posts = get_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'category__in' => wp_get_post_categories($post->ID), 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'post__not_in' => array($post->ID) )); `

how can I get rid of that prepend word? | AFAIR BBPress relies on WP functions with these titles, so most probably this will be helpful:
function remove_private_prefix_from_title( $title ) {
return '%s';
}
add_filter( 'private_title_format', 'remove_private_prefix_from_title' );
And here you can find docs for that filter: `private_title_format` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to recognize which plugin generated this code?
I just took over a website created with wordpress but is broken, the hosting provider reinstalled wordpress but kept the database, so all the information is there, however i can see that the code for the pages seems to have been generated by using some plugin or similar, so now I don't have information of which plugins were installed before but i do have pages that display this kind of code:
[section__dd class= 'inhale-top inhale-bottom'][column_dd span='12'][text_dd]
does anyone recognize it and knows which plugin was it so i can restore the site or at least see some pages as they were before? I'm usually just in charge of hosting and db management not really familiar with plugins | I found the plugin by running a search for the string "text_dd" in the `wp-content/plugins/` directory.
Looks like this specific plugin (which provides `text_dd`, `column_dd` and `section_dd` shortcodes) is called "dnd-shortcodes" and contains the following snippet of information:

Add custom variable in Contact Form 7 mail body
I set cookie for my users to know from which source they come to the site and I want when user contact us their message comes with their cookie as well.

}
function custom_my_source_form_tag_handler( $tag ) {
return isset( $_COOKIE['my_source'] ) ? $_COOKIE['my_source'] : '';
}

Max file size not updating
Hi I am a beginner at WordPress and am currently trying to increase my file upload size.
So far I've tried two ways:
The first way was to add this to the bottom of the functions.php file:
@ini_set( 'upload_max_filesize' , '64M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );
That didn't seem to work.
The second way I tried was to install the PHP Settings plugin and add this to the file
upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300
However, when I try to verify that my change updated by clicking on `Media > Add New`, I still see 8MB as the max file size:
![enter image description here](
How would I do this? I'm trying to upload a theme that's 8MB+ and it won't work because of this limitation.
P.S. I'm using MAMP to start my server. | **1] To do this, change the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size directives in your php.ini file. To ensure that file uploads work correctly, the post_max_size directive should be a little larger than the upload_max_filesize. For example, the following settings demonstrate how to set a file upload limit to 20 megabytes:**
upload_max_filesize = 20M
post_max_size = 21M
**2] You need to add the following codes at the bottom of the .htaccess file:**
php_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_value post_max_size 128M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

wordpress sites saved as apps rather than links when using iphone "add to home screen"
When using "add to home screen" in ios safari, the wordpress sites I build for my clients are being saved as discreet apps rather than links that open in the browser. I tap the newly created icon, and the site opens as an app rather than a new tab in mobile safari (my default browser).
This seems to be semi recent behavior. Maybe in the past 2 years at the most. I've tested a number of sites, and it seems to only happen on the WP sites I've built within the past 2 years max.

What's the difference between "parent" and "category_parent" in a WP_Term object?
What's the difference between "parent" and "category_parent" in a WP_Term object? For example:
[1] => WP_Term Object
(
[term_id] => 24
[name] => Essential Oils
[slug] => essential-oils
[term_group] => 0
[term_taxonomy_id] => 24
[taxonomy] => category
[description] =>
[parent] => 22
[count] => 14
[filter] => raw
[cat_ID] => 24
[category_count] => 14
[category_description] =>
[cat_name] => Essential Oils
[category_nicename] => essential-oils
[category_parent] => 22
) | The properties prefixed with `category_` or `cat_` are there for backwards compatibility.
Taxonomies and terms were introduced in WordPress 2.3 (11 years ago) and categories were converted into a taxonomy at that time. Prior to this categories had their own properties (the ones with the aforementioned prefixes).
For backwards compatibility, the `_make_cat_compat()` function is used in some places to add the old properties to categories. You can see from the source that all it does is copy the standard term properties to the old names, so `parent` and `category_parent` will always have the same value, as an example.
In 2018 you should avoid using the category-specific properties. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Adding orderby url parameter to main CPT admin menu link
Is it possible to change the main admin menu link for a CPT (the link to edit.php) to include URL parameters?
I wan't to make the posts list default to sorting by "title" but I don't like how updating the main query to force a "default" order doesn't set column header to reflect it.
If you click on the "Title" column header it adds the "orderby" url parameter so I'm wondering if there is a hook/filter that would allow me to append this to the menu link.
I can't see how this could be done when registering the new post type and would prefer not to use javascript to add it on after the page has loaded. | You can set `$_GET` directly inside your `pre_get_posts` action to get the UI to pickup that change:

WordPress 5 upgrade: until when is it safe to keep project running in 4.x?
As announced, Wordpress version 5 will be hitting the road this December. Considering the availability of security support and patches for previous versions (4.9.x, 4.8.x, 4.7.x), until when is it considered safe to postpone the 5.x upgrade and keep projects running in 4.x? | As stated here:
> The only current officially supported version is WordPress 4.9.8. Previous major releases before this may or may not get security updates as serious exploits are discovered.
And it has always been that way - only one version is officially supported.
This means it's always a bad idea to postpone updates.
So if you're afraid of Gutenberg, then you should:
1. Prepare a test version for your site and check if it will cause any problems with 5.0.
2. Disable Gutenberg, if you don't want to use it.
You can disable Gutenberg with this code:
if (version_compare($GLOBALS['wp_version'], '5.0-beta', '>')) {
// WP > 5 beta
add_filter('use_block_editor_for_post_type', '__return_false', 100);
} else {
// WP < 5 beta
add_filter('gutenberg_can_edit_post_type', '__return_false');

404 on internal pages, in all sites in my local server
I have a local Apache server, **with module rewrite loaded** , all my Wordpress files in this server fail to find internal pages whenever permalinks options are set to something different than _simple_.
Setting permalinks options to anything different or saving changes to force _.htaccess_ to refresh, as many answers suggest, is not working in this case.

By default, Apache will not load any custom _.htaccess_ files, you need to set `AllowOverride` for the given directory like so
<Directory /path/to/site>
AllowOverride FileInfo
# etc
</Directory>
`FileInfo` should suffice, if not, try `All` and check the official documentation. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

if ( !is_user_logged_in() && is_page('add page slug or ID here') && $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] != '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' ) {
wp_redirect( ' );
exit;
}
}
Put this in your child theme functions file, change the page ID or slug and the redirect url.
You could also use code like this:
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_to_specific_page' );
function redirect_to_specific_page() {
if ( is_page('slug') && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect( ' 301 );
exit;
}
}
You can add the message directly to the page or if you want to display the message for all non logged in users, add it to the code.

Where to write custom logs in WordPress
I am creating a plugin in WordPress, the plugin creates logs for some events, my question is where should I write custom logs, so that no explicit file read/write permission required. I am looking to put logs at one of below two locations-
1\. wp-content/plugins/pluginName/logs
2\. wp-content/logs | Any files you want to create, such as logs, should be created in the `wp-content/uploads/` directory. Probably in your own subdirectory. This is because this is directory will be the most reliably writable, since it needs to be writable for everyday usage (for uploading media).
You can use `wp_upload_dir()` to get the path to the uploads directory, and `mkdir()` to create a directory there:
$uploads = wp_upload_dir( null, false );
$logs_dir = $uploads['basedir'] . '/pluginName-logs';
if ( ! is_dir( $logs_dir ) ) {
mkdir( $logs_dir, 0755, true );
}
$file = fopen( $logs_dir . '/' . 'log.log', 'w' );
`wp-content` would be the next option, but I don't see any reason to prefer it over the uploads directory. Definitely don't put it inside your plugin directory. If you did you would lose any logs whenever the plugin is updated. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

where should I write constants in wordpress?
I have to define a constants to use all over the entire project(i.e: single.php, category.php, my-template.php). Suppose I define a array constant to declare a list of browser name. i.e: array('firefox'=>'Mozilla Firefox','google_chrome'=>'Google Chrome'). Now this constant will be accessible within any php file in my project. I can do this in several ways. But what is the best practice? | Depends on what your project is. If you're developing a theme you would define them at the top of your theme's functions.php file, and if you were developing a plugin you would put them at the top of your main plugin file. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Where in the page load code is wp-cron triggered?
I just spent way too much time trying to troubleshoot why my wp-cron job wasn't running. It seems, under 4.9.8, the only way to run cron is by calling the `wp-cron.php` file as a URL.
The docs say though, that it should run on page loads, though I can't locate where. Any help, please? | The WordPress cron is run by the `wp_cron()` function, which is hooked to run on the `init` hook, which runs on every page load.
`wp_cron()` is defined in `wp-includes/cron.php` and hooked in `wp-includes/default-filters.php`.
The `wp_cron()` function kicks off a `wp_remote_post()` request to `/wp-cron.php`. Some server configurations prevent scripts sending a request to the same domain like this however, so as an alternative you can set the `ALTERNATE_WP_CRON` constant to `true`. When enabled this redirects the user to the current URL but with `?doing_wp_cron=` added to the URL, instead of the post request. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Members only site - still need the lost password page accessible
My site requires login before viewing any page and it works great:
function wpse_131562_redirect() {
if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
{auth_redirect();
}}
add_action('template_redirect', 'wpse_131562_redirect');
But obviously this means the link to the lost-password page just redirects back to the login page. I've tried changing it to:
function wpse_131562_redirect() {
if ( !is_user_logged_in() || (!ispage('lost-password') ))
{auth_redirect();
}}
add_action('template_redirect', 'wpse_131562_redirect');
But it has the same problem, and when I tried to use wp_lostpassword_url it broke completely.
How can I restrict access to everything other than the lost-password page?
Thanks | I believe your if statement is incorrect it should be an AND (`&&`) not OR
so try
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && ! is_page( 'lost-password' ) ) {
**EDIT**
Try using `$object = get_queried_object()` for checking the post slug
$object = get_queried_object();
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && ( ! $object || 'my-account' !== $object->post_name ) ) {

Delete all drafts?
This is a common query to delete all post revisions:
DELETE a,b,c
FROM wp_posts a
LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id)
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id)
WHERE a.post_type = 'revision'

FROM wp_posts a
LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id)
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id)
WHERE a.post_type = 'draft'
and is it better than this since it also deletes postmeta?
DELETE FROM posts WHERE post_status = ‘draft’ | `draft` is not a `post_type`, it's a `post_status`. So you should use your second block of code with that substitution:
DELETE a,b,c
FROM wp_posts a
LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id)
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id)

Why after a file is programmatically deleted, is there still a reference in the media library?
I work on a plugin that gets a file uploaded to the upload folder through media. The file is processed if it does not meet x condition the process is aborted and the file is deleted.
The deletion is effective when invoking unlink in this way
if ($counter === 0) {
printMessage('No need to process');
if (unlink($file)) {
printMessage('File removed');
}
return;
}
Here `$file` is a reference to `wp_handle_upload` `$upload['file']`
My case is that after verifying that the file has indeed been deleted from the file system, there is a reference to it in the media library.
 is stored in database.
So if you delete file using `unlink`, you don't delete any rows from DB - so the attachment will be still visible in Media Library.
If you want to delete attachment from ML, you should use WP functions. `wp_delete_attachment` might come in handy.
You can use it like so:

How to remove p / br elements from gutenbergs editor

Echo term slug op post on archive page
I want to echo the term slug for each post on an archive page.

If I want to echo the slug I'm using:
echo $terms["slug"]
However it returns nothing. I already found a solution to echo the term slug but I'm wondering why my own echo code doesn't return the slug.
Anyone who can explain this? | The `get_the_terms` function returns array of `WP_Term` objects. So you need to use something like this to echo a single term slug:
echo $terms[0]->slug;
Also be aware of results of this function. As documentation says it returns:
> Array of WP_Term objects on success, false if there are no terms or the post does not exist, WP_Error on failure.
So you need some checks before trying to echo terms. The following code may help you.
$terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'type_kennisbank' );
if ( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {

Unable to disable Gutenberg with plugin Classic Editor or Disable Gutenberg
I updated my Wordpress to version 5.0
After updating, I install "Classic Editor" plugin to replace Gutenberg.
The post editor changed to Classic Editors.

My post editor became Gutenberg.
I checked the setting is Classic Editors, but it still Gutenberg.
I tried "disable Gutenberg" plugin and activated it.

How to change it back to Classic Editor?
![enter image description here]( ![enter image description here]( ![enter image description here]( | On the new WordPress 5.0 update, I was able to switch between the classic editor & Gutenberg without installing the "Disable Gutenberg" extension. Looking at the release notes for the "Disable Gutenberg" plugin, it states:
_"Do not use Disable Gutenberg with other plugins (like the Classic Editor plugin) that also disable or replace Gutenberg. Why? Because it may cause loading of redundant scripts, which may in turn lead to unexpected/untested results."_
You stated you are running the Classic Editor plugin with "Disable Gutenberg". This is the conflict. Otherwise, clear your cache in the CMS & browser to see if it makes any difference.
**Solution:**
1. Without installing the "Disable Gutenberg" plugin, navigate to the classic editor settings at: /wp-admin/options-writing.php#classic-editor-options
2. Under the settings for "Default editor for all users" use the buttons to toggle between 'Classic Editor' & 'Block Editor' (Gutenberg). Save the settings & reload the page. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Updating Wordpress plugin admin panel footer text
The Wordpress admin backend displays the following footer text for each page of the admin panel: ' _Thank you for creating with Wordpress_ '.
What is the cleanest way to update this text for a particular plugin page only ?
Currently I have added a filter for the 'admin_footer_text' hook, however, this has the effect of updating **_all_** page footers on the backend, not just those specific to my plugin.
Is it a case of using the 'admin_footer_text' hook, and adding some conditional checking around which admin panel page is being called? Or is there a cleaner, more direct hook I should be using? | <?php
// check the plugin admin page
if( is_admin() && isset( $_GET['page'] ) && 'PLUGIN-NAME' == $_GET['page'] ) {
// replace the footer with empty string

Wordpress Gutenberg home page "edit Page" option missing
I try to understand customising of default theme, in my case twenty nineteen. After I create a new page on the top horizontal bar there is an option "Edit Page" visible. Why that option is missing on the bar for home page?
What is the best way to customise the home page?
Home page:  of your theme, cannot be edited by neither, `Guttenberg` nor `Classic Editor`.
Create a child theme, and copy `index.php` from your parent theme to the child theme. Then you can edit your child's `index.php`, using external text editor. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Redirect From Url To Url
I want to redirect the same directory, but different url structure. The url structure I use: http:example.com/car/cadillac/image/2
I want to direct http: example.com/car/cadillac/image/ url. Because this url is 404. I want to redirect to http: example.com/car/cadillac/
(In fact, the problem comes from the "image" link structure: How to change the permalink structure of a master page?) As an alternative, I thought about the routing rule. But the cpanel 301 redirect is not successful.
**http: example.com/car/cadillac/image/** How can we redirect the URL to **http: example.com/car/cadillac/** ? | The easiest way to do is by using Redirection plugin. Follow these steps:
1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Head to **Tools > Redirection**.
3. Enter your **Source URL** (example.com/car/cadillac/image/) and **Target URL** (http: example.com/car/cadillac/).
4. Finally, click on "Add Redirection" button. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress CSS problems with controls
Where and how should I even begin to fix terrible design problems? I can't change the theme, I must learn how to fix it the current one, I guess via CSS? How to align all textboxes properly, how to change box (top is gray) color and button color as well? These are all in simple pages via shortcodes. Thanks.
![enter image description here](
![enter image description here]( ![enter image description here]( | Yes, this can easily be cleaned up with a little CSS. You can start by using the browser's inspector, hit F12 to open it, and select the element you want to style.
See if that form or something around has an ID, use that to target each element so you don't effect other pages or unwanted elements.
Here are couple example that might help.
#myFormID label,
#myFormID input[type="text"],
#myFormID select {
display: block;
}
That will put your labels and form elements on different lines.
The best thing to do is just inspect the page and start playing around with the CSS. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Allow user to add the php code in wp_mail()

$body = sprintf('Hey %s, your awesome post has been published!
See <%s>',
esc_html($user->display_name),
get_permalink($post)
);
// Now send to the post author.
wp_mail($user->user_email, 'Your post has been published!', $body);
Is it possible to do? | I would just use `str_replace()` to handle a "pseudo" shortcode. Something like this:
$body = sprintf('Hey {{username}}, your awesome post has been published!
See <%s>', get_permalink($post) );
// Add replacement values to the array as necessary.
$old = array( '{{username}}' );
$new = array( esc_html($user->display_name) );
$body = str_replace( $old, $new, $body );
// Now send to the post author.
wp_mail($user->user_email, 'Your post has been published!', $body);
I just worked from what you started with. I'm assuming you're doing something ahead of this to get the `$user` object. Also, I made the replacement values for `str_replace()` as arrays, so you can add to that as necessary (instead of running it multiple times). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WooCommerce how to checkout a product without adding it to the cart
I am trying to implement this in my website:
Having a second button on a single product next to the"Add to cart" button, let that button be "Buy now".
When the add to cart button is clicked, the product will be added to the cart, when the Buy now button is clicked the client will be redirected to the checkout page where he will only checkout that single product, and that product will not be added to the cart.
For example, if the client was having products A and B in the cart, and clicks the Buy now o product C, he will only checkout for that product, and C will never be added to the cart.
I was thinking of a way to implement this, and I thought that having two different checkout pages might help,.. I don't know if it can, if you have a solution on how I can do this, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks | You could code your own, and connect to a payment gateway's API, but plenty have tread this road before you so stand on their shoulders. Two possibilities:

Is there a cleaner way to get post count for a category in category.php?
Building the category.php I'm curious to know if there is a better way to get the count of posts without `wp_query`? In the past I've called:
* `single_cat_title()` to render the category
* `category_description()` to render the category description
and to build a separator after each post but not the last on the page or last in `get_option('posts_per_page')` I've used:
$category = get_queried_object();
$category_total = $category->count;
From research I did see How to get Total Post In a Selected category which was authored in 2011. `wp_count_posts()` counts all posts in a blog which I dont think would be good on performance.
$category = get_category($id);
$count = $category->category_count;
From Count how many posts in category I think requires `wp_query`? Is there a better way to get the count of posts in a category for category.php? | What you've got is basically correct. This is the correct method for getting the total number of posts in the currnet category:
$category = get_queried_object();
$category_total = $category->count;
There shouldn't be any performance impact from using this, as the `count` property is only updated when new posts are published, and doesn't need to be calculated each time it's used.
To get the number of posts on the current page though, `get_option( 'posts_per_page' )` is not the best option, because it will be the incorrect number on the last page, which could have less than the total number of posts per page.
To get that number you need to check the global `$wp_query` object:
global $wp_query;
$post_count = $wp_query->post_count; | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Creating select dropdown with parent-level custom post types
I'm trying to create a dropdown with an option for each top-level parent. I've gotten the query down because when I print the results, I see the posts I'm looking for. My code is also creating the right number of options, but it's not entering the info as I'd expect. Here is the code I have:
<select class="filters-select">
<option value="*">Show All</option>
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'locations',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'order_by' => 'title',
'order' => 'asc',
'post_parent' => 0,
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
$posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach ( $posts as $post ) {
echo "<option value='." . $post->slug . "' class='" . $post->slug . "'>" . $post->name . "</option>\n";
} ?>
</select> | Found the answer. I was using the terms nomenclature to call my info. Had to update to:
echo "<option value='." . $post->post_name . "'>" . $post->post_title . "</option>\n";

How to insert the number of posts from the category in wp _title?
For example, the site has a category "News", in which there are 37 posts num.
How to insert into **wp_title** the number of records (37) in this category.
those, if we go to the "News" category, the title should be displayed:
<title>37 posts in News category | Site name</title>
Help me please, Regards, Anna | If your theme supports WordPress adding the title tag using `add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );` (it should!) you can use the `document_title_parts` filter to insert the post count in the right place without needing to parse the full title or modify existing elements that might have been customised, such as the separator:
function wpse_323260_document_title_category_count( $title ) {
if ( is_category() ) {
$category = get_queried_object();
$title['title'] = sprintf(
'%d posts in %s Category',
$category->count,
esc_html( single_cat_title( '', false ) )
);
}
return $title;

`mysite.co.uk/blog/some-title`
but it's now become
`mysite.co.uk/some-title`

}
$custom_content .= $content;
return $custom_content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpb_last_updated_date' );
It works,but I don`t want to show **it** on my home page.
How can I do ? | You can check for your "home page" at the start of your function by using `is_home()` and/or `is_front_page()` and just return original content without date. See is_home vs is_front_page
function wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) {
if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) return $content; //homepage return content without date
// your original function code
