Homepage not loading correctly, but then loads when refreshing
When going to our homepage (www.whiteskitchen.co.uk). We seem to have lost the styling on the homepage. I checked the source code and it’s not fully loading the page.
When you refresh the page or click on a link, the page reverts to the correct theme styling and loads correctly. The stylings are very different and you’ll notice the difference
Any ideas what it could be? It only started happening a couple of days ago and no updates or changes have been made before or after the issue cropped up

1. Install and activate WP Super Cache.

Trigger action when submitting form with WPForms
A customer of mine uses the WPForms plugin to create a front-end form. When the form is submitted the entry goes in de database (in a separate table wp_wpform_entries or something like that, all handled by the plugin).
But they also want to post all data to another website in JSON format. Is there a way to know the form is submitted or is the best way to use the `add_filter('wp_insert_post)?` | I would suggest you to use the action `wpforms_process_entry_save`.

Are gutenberg blocks ideally supposed to look the same in both back-end and front-end?
This appears to be the case with built in blocks at the moment. If you use them with default Twenty Nineteen theme you get the same look in both backend and frontend
When building custom theme, should we make sure blocks are identical in both cases? It seems that this requires loading the same CSS frameworks and JS in back-end and front-end | Ideally, yes. Blocks are supposed to be WYSIWYG. See the Editor Styles section of the Gutenberg Handbook for how to load theme styles in the editor.
You need to add an editor stylesheet with `add_editor_style()`, the same way you did with the previous editor, but to support the block editor you need to declare theme support for editor styles:

How to check, if user commented before, on comment_post action?

Handling Body class based on Template
Through a **PHP function** , I think I can handle body class, but I think **WordPress** would have some specific way to handle it.
If `Home.php` then class in the body should be `wbody` else it should be `bgody`.

If you want to set body classes based on current page, then you can use this code
function my_body_class( $classes ) {

$classes[] = 'wbody';
} else {
$classes[] = 'gbody';
}
return $classes;
}

How to get URL for the first page of post archive
I would like to get the first page of an archive. I have an archive with events. /events display events, which are not finished yet. /events?past display past events. I use `get/remove_query_arg` to generate an URL for a link, so that users can switch between past and future events. The problem is, if user is at page x in past events and try to switch to future events. Future events may not have the page x. This results in an error. URL is generated like this:
esc_url(remove_query_arg('past'))
esc_url(add_query_arg('past', ''))
This method preserves the page number within the URL: at `/events/page/88?past` URL for future events becomes `/events/page/88`, which doesn't exist.
I was wondering if there is a "WordPress way" of doing this? | You can get link to post type archive using... ‘get_post_type_archive_link’ function:

How to render core component inside edit() within custom registered block in Gutenberg?
How to render core block such as `core/columns` inside custom registered block in Gutenberg?

I thought of using something like `createBlock('core/columns')`, but it gives an error on render. | You can make use of components inside your block. However, to insert a block inside your block you need to make use of the editor component **Innerblocks**. Using it you can set a predefined template which includes certain blocks in a specific order. Or you can set allowed blocks that can be added by the user.
For example, the `columns block` uses Innerblocks component and includes the `column block` using the template prop, which uses again Innerblocks to allow any kind of block to be added inside each column. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress: How to create custom REST API route?
How can we create custom REST API route for sending specific data format to **Android** or **IOS** app ? | We can create route using `rest_api_init` action like :

'methods' => array('GET', 'POST'),
'callback' => 'forgot_password'
));
} );
function forgot_password(){
// YOUR CALLBACK FUNCTION STUFF HERE
}
**forgot_password** will define route URL address.
**methods** will define which method u want get request parameters like **GET** or **POST**.
**callback** will define callback function which is call when rest api will fire. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Should I manually resolve WP Core File security issues or await a subsequent WP release?

With this in mind, should I consider addressing these issues myself or could this result in unexpected results across the WordPress powered website?

How to make Media Library use HTTPS?
I'm redesigning a site that originally didn't have a SSL. I copied the uploads directory, then did regular expressions on the `wp db export` file from the original site.
In the Media Library, none of the thumbnails are showing up.
 for anyone who comes across this.
In the original site directory:
wp db export
This should create a `.sql` file with the original database name and a hash, like `db_name-324ddsx9.sql`. FTP that file to your new server/install directory. Then edit it with vi and perform the search and replace. You want to replace all instances of the original domain with the new one.
sudo vi db_name-324ddsx9.sql
:%s/oldsite_name.com/newsite_name.com/g
:%s/http\:\/\/newsite/https\:\/\/newsite/g
:wq
If you haven't already, create the mysql database. Then from the command line - import the sql.

Why does AWStats show /wp-json* as Viewed URLs
Generally, I track site resource usage using Google Analytics. Recently, I needed to check a clients site stats through AWStats instead. I noticed a number of URLs starting with /wp-json ...
My client uses FTP for a few web tasks and will not see those files in the directory structure. The fact that these record start with wp- is likely to be a source of confusion. While I understand that this is tied to the REST API in /wp-includes, I need to give my client a better explanation because I will be sharing those stats with her. | I'm not entirely sure what will be better explanation, or why this one (the real one) is not enough.
In your stats you see URLs of requests and not paths to files. URL has nothing to do with files on server.
Yes - if the requests targets physical file, then that file exists, but... There are plenty URLs that are not connected to any file - mod_rewrite takes care of them. For example there is no directory like `/rss/` anywhere in your WP installation directory. There is no directory like `/category/uncaregorized/`, and yet - both of these URLs work and you can find them in stats...
I don't see anything wrong in explaining, that your client sees HTTP requests and not file paths. And these `/wp-json/*` requests are requests to WP REST API.
PS. You don't see them in Google Analytics, because there is no tracking code in REST API, so there requests are not logged to GA. But AWStats are more like server logs, so all requests get logged. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How To Pass Current Post Type ID from Single Template To Custom Page Template
Having a Custoom Post Type called `movies`, I am able to get the current Post ID in my `single-movies.php` template. Now can you please let me know how I can pass this post ID from the single template to a custom page template like `page-postDetail.php` basically what I want to do is adding some more details to the post in the custom page (Like having multi single template foe one custom post type) | First of all, (you probably know this but..) you are fighting how WP is intended to work. You can not get the post ID directly in your custom page template because it is not displaying the post. So you will have to, as you said, send the post ID to the page template.
The best way I can think of, to do it this way, is to send it to the new page via `GET` or `POST`. The most simple way would be to add a query string to whatever link goes to the sub-page containing the ID, which might look like this `?post_id=123`. Then, you can parse the URL query string to get the ID and use it as needed.
Alternatively, you could make your CPT (Custom Post Type) structure hierarchical and set your permalink structure to `example.com/%postname%/`, then you can just add the pages as sub pages of your posts. More details here. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to access deleted term inside delete_product_cat action
I want to run some code after a product category is deleted, in that function I want to access the name of the deleted category, and according to their docs I could do this:
add_action('delete_product_cat', 'sync_cat_delete', 10, 1);
function sync_cat_delete($term, $tt_id, $deleted_term, $object_ids){
var_dump($deleted_term);
}
But when I do it, I get 500 internal server error
So what could be the issue?
Thanks | You get 500 error, because you’ve added your filter incorrectly... It takes 4 params, but you register it as it was using only one.
add_action('delete_product_cat', 'sync_cat_delete', 10, 1);
// 10 is priority, 1 is number of params to take
function sync_cat_delete($term, $tt_id, $deleted_term, $object_ids){
var_dump($deleted_term);
}
So if you change that 1 to 4, it should be OK. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Get posts only from current calendar week
I'm building a weekly leaderboard and trying to display posts from on the current calendar week Monday to Sunday. I've tried the code below, but it's only retrieving a post from today (Tuesday 1st January) and no posts from the day before (Monday 31st December). Any ideas? Thanks!

'date_query' => array(
'after' => '-' . (intval(date('N')) - 1) . 'days',
'inclusive' => true
)
What it does is takes all posts published after given date. And to compute that date we take current day and substract the current day of the week - so we get last Monday... | stackexchange-wordpress | {

load_plugin_textdomain in `plugins_loaded` or `init`?
Which is the best/recommended way to hook `load_plugin_textdomain` within - `plugins_loaded` or `init`? and what are drawbacks using either. | Load translation files as late as possible for your plugin's use-case. This allows other plugins as much time as possible to fully initialise.
Why should you care about other plugins? Because they may be involved in the localisation process too. For example, changing the site language or filtering translation file paths. They can't do those things if you beat them to it.
From your two examples: `plugins_loaded` fires first, so `init` is the better of the two in most cases. However, it still runs the risk that your _init_ code fires before another plugin's _init_ code, so set a low priority in your add_action call. (larger number = lower priority).
If your translations are _needed_ earlier then you'll have to load them earlier. However, if you need them earlier than _init_ then your whole setup might be firing too early. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How use custom image size + ACF + background image

Register size in functions.php:
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

Display image with custom size (named: customsize) on page with ACF:
<?php $image = get_field('image_field'); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['customsize']; ?> />
But how to display image as background image with ACF?:
<?php $image = get_field('image_field'); ?>
<div style="background-image: url(<?php $image['url'] ?>)" /></div> | First off, this code...
<img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['customsize']; ?> />
is missing the end quote, it should be...
<img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['customsize']; ?>" />
You can use that same php to output the URL for the background size.
<div style="height: 300px; width: 300px; background-image: url(<?php echo $company_logo['sizes']['customsize']; ?>)" /></div>

Gutenberg withInstanceId. When to use it?
The WordPress block API for Gutenberg has a `withInstanceId` package.
They say,
> Some components need to generate a unique id for each instance. This could serve as suffixes to element ID's for example. Wrapping a component with withInstanceId provides a unique instanceId to serve this purpose.
and show an example:
/**
* WordPress dependencies

function MyCustomElement( { instanceId } ) {
return (
<div id={ `my-custom-element-${ instanceId }` }>
content
</div>
);
}
export default withInstanceId( MyCustomElement );
It seems like it is just being used for html ids? As to not have duplicate id names? Is there any other usage for it? If i just export my component using `export default withInstanceId( MyCustomElement )` will the entire component have a unique id? | The generated `id` is added to the component's props. So it can be accessed through `this.props.instanceId` inside the component.
In the example you posted it is being used to assign a unique id attribute to the html element. However it can be used for custom logic inside react. Just as an example, you can assign each component an `id` and then save its data to the redux store, that way when you need to access the data from an element inside the store you can use its `id` to find it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to create editable sections in wordpress?

I wanna make a homepage that has different sections (About us section, photo gallery section, etc). he might want to change the about us section later in the future or add pictures in the galley. whats the best way to do this?
I have thought about making posts for each section (an about us post and he could just edit it whenever he wants to change the about us section) does that work? | Here is what I would recommend.
Use a plugin called Advanced Custom Fields.
This will allow you to build out the admin and have different fields for each section. You could have an editable area with a editor for the about us section. You could use a Repeater Field for the gallery, and much more.
Once you have all the fields in the admin, you just need to pull all the data into your homepage template. This is pretty straight forward and there is good documentation with examples.
This is one of the few plugins I recommend, but when it comes adding custom fields it doesn't make sense to not use it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I would like to rewrite SKUs generated by WooCommerce Product SKU Generator and prefix them with the vendor slug from WooCommerce Product Vendors into the following format: [Vendor Slug][Generated SKU]. E.g. 'GT1234', 'JD1235', etc... If the product author is not a vendor or the order is not associated with a vendor, the prefix should default to 'XX'.
Main difficulty for me is retrieving the vendor slug for the user adding the new product. How would I go about doing that? Anything to get me going is appreciated!
function filter_wc_sku_generator_sku( $product_sku, $product ) {
$vendor_slug = '???'
if (!$vendor_slug) {
$product_sku = 'XX' . $product_sku;
} else {
$product_sku = $vendor_slug . $product_sku;
}
return $product_sku;
};
add_filter( 'wc_sku_generator_sku', 'filter_wc_sku_generator_sku', 10, 2 ); | There's a class `WC_Product_Vendors_Utils` that you can use e.g.
$vendor = WC_Product_Vendors_Utils::is_vendor_product( $item["product_vendors_product_id"] ); //replace this with the product ID
if ( ! empty( $vendor[0] ) ) {
$vendor_data = WC_Product_Vendors_Utils::get_vendor_data_by_id( $vendor[0]->term_id );
if ( ! empty( $vendor_data ) ) {
$vendor_slug = $vendor_data['slug']; // I am not sure of the correct value here but you can var_dump() just to make sure
}
}
Hope that will help you start generating the SKU properly :) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to create mass 301 redirects with PHP in Nginx server without using a WP plugin
New on Nginx based web server setup and finding a way to create mass 301 redirects in a WP site without using any plugins.
It is fairly easy in Apache based web server as you only need to put this at the end of your `.htaccess` file but this won't work in Nginx:
`Redirect 301 /old-url /new-url` | Seems the easiest way to do it is via PHP without changing any Nginx server config by adding this at the start of the `wp-config.php` file:
// Trailing slashes matters here so /old1 is different from /old1/
$redirect_targets = array(
'/old-url' => '/new-url',
'/old-url2' => '/new-url2',
'/old-url3' => '/new-url3',
);
// Added a way not to accidentally break wp-cli
if ( (isset($redirect_targets[ $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ] ) ) && (php_sapi_name() != "cli") ) {
header('HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $redirect_targets[ $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ]);
exit();

Is there a way of registering a default logo image for custom-logo?
Similair to custom-header with **register_default_headers()** in version 4.5 and above. | No, there isn't.
Given that a logo is typically unique for each site and brand, it doesn't really make much sense to offer a default logo, except as a placeholder.
If you want to have a default logo as a placeholder in your theme, then in the template you could check if a custom value is set, and if not, display your own logo:
<?php
if ( get_custom_logo() ) {
the_custom_logo();
} else {
printf(
'<a href="%1$s" class="custom-logo-link" rel="home" itemprop="url"><img src="%2$s" class="custom-logo" itemprop="logo" alt="%3$s"></a>',
esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ),
esc_url( get_theme_file_uri( 'images/default-logo.png' ) ),
get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' )
);
}
?>
The markup in this example will match the markup output of `the_custom_logo()`. The logo itself would be `default-logo.png` in the `images/` directory of your theme. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Allow admins to login as other users
My question is about WordPress in general. How can I give admins the ability to log in and do things that other users can do?
My specific use-case for this is, in WooCommerce, when an admin creates an order via the "Add New Order" page and assigns it to a user the admin can not view the order or complete checkout. If the admin tries to view the page he gets this error - "This order cannot be paid for. Please contact us if you need assistance."
Is there a way to work around this? I would prefer not to use a plugin. | You'll need to find out what specific capabilities Admin users are missing. Once you know the full list, you can use `add_cap()` to add those capabilities to the Admin users and enable them to do whatever the other roles are doing.
From Shold I manually add 'cap' to admin role ? -
$role = get_role( 'administrator' );
$role->add_cap( 'cap' );
Replace `cap` with one of the capabilities you need to add to admin users. Copy and paste that second line, and add each additional capability separately. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to reference argument data for wp_nav_menu() from functions.php
I would really like to keep my template files as clean as possible, without including too much argument data. Is it possible with the following example...
$args = array(
'theme_location' => 'main-menu',
'menu_class' => 'list-inline',
'add_li_class' => 'list-inline-item'
);
wp_nav_menu($args);
...that I can store my array of arguments in a function within my functions.php file, and then simply call the argument data onto my header.php where my wp_nav_menu() lives? Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but is this a good time for me to use a add_action/do_action for this specific case?
I want to use my functions.php file as a one-stop-shop to (i.e. register the nav, add basic or advanced argument data to the same nav, etc..).
This is the first time I'm thinking about this, so I'm all for any best practices.
Many thanks! | a function like this:
function get_nav_args($overrides = array()) {
$defaults = array(
'theme_location' => 'main-menu',
'menu_class' => 'list-inline',
'add_li_class' => 'list-inline-item',
);
return shortcode_atts($defaults, apply_filters('some_custom_identifier_nav_menu_args', $overrides, $defaults) );
}
would be callable like `wp_nav_menu(get_nav_args())`
using shortcode atts and allowing an overrides array to be passed in would allow you to change the values if necessary without duplicating the whole thing. As for your put everything in functions.php I would avoid that if possible. Use `include` or `require` to include files that contain your functions. this way you can sort them out by type, use, location, or whatever else you'd like and won't end up digging through a single massive file looking for something down the road. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to prevent resized featured images?

Getting the selected terms for custom taxonomies in the editor

This merge seems like it might be relevant, but it's kind of hard for me to understand what's being implemented there. | When you register a custom taxonomy make sure to set `show_in_rest` to `true`.

WordPress Admin Dashboard Does Not Display Correctly

Hestia Child theme creation
I'm working on creating a child theme of Hestia for my own website but I'm just not getting where the code is supposed to go in my child theme coding. I know how to design websites and I'm familiar enough with code to make the changes if I know where to look to do it.

Do i need escaping get_the_passsword_form function?
I saw themeforest/WordPress.org has said all WordPress default get functions need to be escaped output for security region for WordPress Theme or Plugin development, Now I want to show password form if a post has password protected. So now I'm using get_the_password_form () function. Now I need to know this function do I need escaping?
If answer Yes, Please help me, How can I escape this function? Like esc_html (), or esc_url () etc. Which function do i need to use for escaping ?
Here is Themeforest Requirements
And Here is my code
<div class="single-blog-content">
<?php
if(post_password_required()) {
echo get_the_password_form( );
}else {
the_excerpt();
}
?>
</div> | There is nothing to escape in your code.
Let’s say given function should return only plain text and no HTML entities should be allowed. For example you want to display the search query string.
In such case you should use `esc_html`.
This way, if user puts `<b>ala</b>` as search string, your site will print exactly that.
If you won’t escape that string before printing it, it will be treated as HTML code and you’ll see bold word `ala` only.
But... You have to escape with proper function depending on context.
So:
<h1>You’re looking for: <?php echo esc_html( get_query_var( 's' ) ); ?></h1>
But:
<input name="s" value="<?php echo esc_arg( get_query_var( 's' ) ); ?>"/>
So, let’s get back to your code...
get_the_password_form()
should display HTML tags and they should be processed as HTML code by browser - so you can’t escape it. If you will, you’ll see a string containing HTML tags instead of form. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can a manually uploaded plugin be made to track updates from the WordPress.org plugin directory?
I've made a plugin which I will give to some users to test by manually uploading the zip file. I later on want to host the plugin in the WordPress.org plugin directory, but I want to avoid users having to uninstall my plugin to install the directory-hosted one because I have code in my uninstaller that deletes all of the terms, etc. that my plugin adds.
Is there a way to make WordPress track a plugin in the official directory instead of a locally uploaded zip? | As long as everything was made according to WP best practices all your manually installed versions will update the same as the ones installed from `wordpress.org`.
The updater looks at many things to identify your plugin. However, the most important is the plugin URI (you can change the directory of many plugins and they will still work), but the name and slug are also checked. After WP detects that it has a matching plugin it will check the version and send out update information as needed.
**Edit 1** Based on a little more research, I see that the update check seems to be done by `wordpress.org` at this url: ` to see how the call is structured you can look at the core code for `wp_update_plugins()`.
The reason your manually installed plugin will update is the same as the reason you can manually download and install a plugin from `wordpress.org` and see it recieve updates in the `wp-admin`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

But i am not sure how do I get the user ID of that user, since this action hook `add_action( 'update_user', 'when_update_user' );` requires me to pass an user ID to run `when_update_user()` function when an administrator updates the user data. Does anyone have any idea regarding it? | You're looking for `profile_update` & `user_register`.
`user_register` is called after a user is created.
add_action( 'user_register', 'myplugin_registration_save', 10, 1 );
function myplugin_registration_save( $user_id ) {
// Do stuff with $user_id
}
`profile_update` is called after a user is updated.
add_action( 'profile_update', 'my_profile_update', 10, 2 );
function my_profile_update( $user_id, $old_user_data ) {

Page and Post return 404 with custom taxonomy
I have registered a custom taxonomy on "post" named "cat_modules" with this args:
'rewrite' => array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'slug' => '/',
'with_front' => false
)
I used `'hierarchical' => true` to have the url structure like 'category/subcateogry' and I used `'slug' => '/'` to remove the "cat_modules" from the slug.
These work well on the archive pages but all posts and pages return a 404 error. If I remove `'slug' => '/'` from the args everything work well.
P.S In this web site is installed WPML. | OK, so you've used `/` as you taxonomy slug. It means that URL for your term is:
And for pages it will be:
As you can see, there is no way to guess, what type of post should WP search for.
WordPress processes the URLs looping through registered Rewrite Rules and matching given URL against regular expression assigned to current rule.
That means that in your case WP will take first rule that will match correctly and try to display that type of object. And because there are two different objects registering rules that are in conflict, then you'll get 404 errors for some of them. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

get_post_gallery with Gutenberg
I have a site where I created a page that takes the gallery images from a post and puts them into a slider.
I used the following code:
// gets the gallery info
$gallery = get_post_gallery( $post->ID, false );
// makes an array of image ids
$ids = explode ( ",", $gallery['ids'] );
Then I inserted the images using wp_get_attachment_image().
Unfortunately, with WP 5.0 and Gutenberg, get_post_gallery no longer works with newly added content. It seems that get_post_gallery used a shortcode that no longer works with Gutenberg.
I am still getting up to speed on Gutenberg and the block system. Until I understand that all better, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get the image ids from a gallery in Gutenberg? | Using birgire's suggestions, I came up with the following solution that is working well with both the old pre-WP 4.x data and the newer posts that have been added under 5.0.
// if there is a gallery block do this
if (has_block('gallery', $post->post_content)) {
$post_blocks = parse_blocks($post->post_content);
$ids = $post_blocks[0][attrs][ids];
}
// if there is not a gallery block do this
else {
// gets the gallery info
$gallery = get_post_gallery( $post->ID, false );
// makes an array of image ids

WP + MySql db / PHP
I have a website running WP connected to a MySql db, where the latter uses PHP. I did not make the site and have only small experience with WP. This may be a simple question. The WP also uses Elementor. I interact with the db via phpMyAdmin.

Only allow the post author and admin to comment on a post
I've searched the interweb and stackexchange high and low and found nothing on how to restrict comment submissions to 1. the post author and 2. the admin. | Depending on how your theme is set up, `comments_open` might be the filter you want. (in functions.php)

update_option returns false in AJAX, how to debug?

Get thumbnails with array sizes parameter
I am trying to get both `full` and `thumbnail` images from post with `wp_get_attachment_image_url`:
wp_get_attachment_image_url( get_the_ID(), array('thumbnail, full'));
I know that by default `size` is `thumbnail` and I read from documentation that I can pass and array of sizes, but with above example, I am getting an error:
> A non-numeric value encountered
The documentation is not clear about how to pass an array of sizes as parameter. | You’re almost correct.
You really can pass an array as size parameter for that function, but...
> **$size** (string|array) (Optional) Image size to retrieve. Accepts any valid image size, or an array of width and height values in pixels (in that order). Default value: 'thumbnail'
So you can’t use it in the way you wanted to...
You have to pass name of the size or an array that will define the size in pixels (width and height).
You can get only one size with one call of that function (as it returns only one value - url of image in given size).
But that’s not a problem, just call it twice:
$thumb_url = wp_get_attachment_image_url( get_the_ID(), 'thumbnail');
$full_url = wp_get_attachment_image_url( get_the_ID(), 'full'); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

While loop shortcode problem
I have created a shortcode using the while loop, which is going to break the loop when used with the page builder. How to solve it. Here may custom shortcode `.
On the other hand, you do use global `$post` variable, so after your code you should restore it's original value with `wp_reset_postdata();`.
So change `wp_reset_query()` to `wp_reset_postdata()` and it should be OK.
## And one more thing...
Shortcodes should return their values and they should not display anything.
So you can't use `the_title()` inside of it - this template tags echoes its value and doesn't return anything.
You should change it to `get_the_title()`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to change WordPress theme outside of admin? Can't access dashboard
I have extracted my theme via File Manager but it somehow crashed. I activated the theme and now I can not access my admin at /my-web/wp-admin/.
Is there another way to change my theme since I cannot access the admin?
Thanks. | There are a couple things you can do.
**Option 1 - FTP**
Easiest would be to FTP into your site and change the name of the currently active theme. Your themes are located in `\wp-content\themes\`. Temporarily changing the name will disable the theme. This should give you back access to the admin.
**Option 2 - Database / PhpMyAdmin**
You can also change the theme through the database, mostly likely via PhpMyAdmin.
There are 3 option rows in wp-options that you need to change. Once you change these it will change your theme.
* template – the “Theme Name” as defined in style.css
* stylesheet – the actual name of your theme folder
* current_theme - the actual name of your theme folder
FYI - You can run the following SQL to narrow down just those 3 rows

FROM wp_options
WHERE option_name = 'template'
