Serving WordPress in it's own directory on localhost on WAMP
I have followed Giving WordPress it's own directory for directions on how to accomplish this on www.mysite.com (once it goes live) but I'm looking for localhost directions to serve my site to localhost directly with WordPress in a SubFolder (I don't think you change .htaccess for localhost).
My WordPress installation is at /sitefolder/arc/...
How can I browse to localhost and see my site as opposed to the way it is now, having to navigate to localhost/sitefolder/arc?
I am guessing its something in the DocumentRoot?
I am using WAMP.
Thanks! | You have two alternatives:
1. Change the DocumentRoot directive in the WAMP httpd.conf file (use CTRL+F to find it). That way you will change the whole root folder of your server, be aware of that!
2. Create a virtual host that will bind a domain to a particular subfolder in your document root (similar to subdomains logic). Here some article that might help:
<
I personally prefer the second option, is better than modify the entire document root. With a virtual host you choose if you want to use the root or a subdirectory.

Best way to use a large array in function
I need to define an array which has more than 15000 values in the wordpress functions file:
$validpin = array(110019,111222,112233);
I have written only 3 values to explain but the actual array will have more than 15000 values. How should I go about doing, as writing 15000 values is making the functions file very large? | If it's just a list of numbers, I'd suggest just saving them in a text file, with a number on each line.
110019
111222
112233
Then when you need the file, read its contents with PHP, and use `preg_split()` to turn it into an array:
$file_path = plugin_dir_path( 'postcodes.txt', __FILE__ ); // Or wherever you've placed it.
$file_contents = file_get_contents( $file_path );
$postcodes = preg_split( "/\r\n|\n|\r/", $file_contents );
if ( in_array( $postcode, $postcodes ) ) {
}
That `preg_split()` method for splitting text based on newlines is taken from here. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Update post meta date always store 1970-01-07
I want to update the post meta "job_expires" to the current "job_expires" meta data + 1 week but with this code always store 1970-01-07 as date.
$lejar_datum = get_post_meta($job_id , '_job_expires', true);
$date = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('+1 week',$lejar_datum));
update_post_meta( $job_id, '_job_expires', $date);
How can I store the current "job_expires" date + 1 week? | With debugging enabled, you should have gotten the following message:
> Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered
This is because `strtotime()` expects an integer as its second argument. You could use it like so
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 week', strtotime($lejar_datum)));
or if you want to use the more modern approach with `DateTime`
$dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $lejar_datum)->modify('+1 week');

Cloning a website via wget
Is it possible to somehow upload files downloaded via “wget -r” onto a server to replicate the actual website, If so how? | Technically, a WGET can be used to download a site's page(s) to your local machine. Then, you could theoretically upload those files to your own web server, and the results will look like the original site. But only as the site existed when you WGET'd the individual pages.
WordPress stores all site content in a database, and then 'builds' the page using templates and other processes to display the actual content. If the content changes in the database, then your WGET'd files will not be the same as the actual site.
And then there is the whole issue of copyright infringement, and content ownership, which is not something you mentioned.
So, although technically possible to 'snapshot' a site (the "Wayback Mahine" does that, for instance), it will not be a 'true' clone of the site. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I don't want to duplicate already-in-use IDs, so is there a way to check which IDs are safe to use for new users? | You don’t give them IDs.

Using the Parcel build tool with Wordpress
I've been looking into build tools lately, specifically stuff that allows PostCSS, and would therefore enable to create a build process that among other things would automatically autoprefix, minify and concatenate my Wordpress site.
It seems that one of the more current tools for this purpose is Parcel, which also boasts a zero-configuration file approach and therefore has the advantage of being the easiest to get started with.
However, Parcel seems to require an index.html file as an "entry file" to get started with it, and I'm unsure how this would work with Wordpress' index.php.
Has anyone had success getting Parcel working with a local Wordpress installation, and if so, how would it be done? If not, do you use any other build tools as part of your development workflow, and why/why not? | Parcel is intended to be used to build apps from the ground up. That's why they recommend starting with a index.js or index.html file.
You might be able to use Parcel's packaging for a theme or plugin, but you would lose the built-in server and live reloading ("hot module replacement") among other things. There may be more that wouldn't work.
I don't think Parcel is a good fit for WordPress development. Read more. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Get list of shortcodes from content
I need a list of every shortcode inside the content. Is there any way to list them?
This is what I need:
$str = '[term value="Value" id="600"][term value="Term" id="609"]';
So every shortcode should be inside the `$str`.
I found a code snippet to check if there is a shortcode. But how can I display them all?
$content = 'This is some text, (perhaps pulled via $post->post_content). It has a [gallery] shortcode.';
if( has_shortcode( $content, 'gallery' ) ) {
// The content has a [gallery] short code, so this check returned true.
} | Here's one way:
You can look at has_shortcode() and find the parsing there:
preg_match_all(
'/' . get_shortcode_regex() . '/',
$content,
$matches,
PREG_SET_ORDER
);
using the get_shortcode_regex() function for the regex pattern.
For non empty matches, you can then loop through them and collect the full shortcode matches with:
$shortcodes = [];
foreach( $matches as $shortcode ) {
$shortcodes[] = $shortcode[0];
}
Finally you format the output to your needs, e.g.:
echo join( '', $shortcodes );

How to import Reusable Blocks programatically?
How to import Reusable Blocks programatically?
I would supply 20 or 30 .json files with Reusable Blocks and the theme admin would be able to use them in their posts or pages.
How could I import them programatically on theme activation? | The easiest solution so far seems to be creating the Reusable Blocks as custom post types:
wp_insert_post([
'post_content' => '<!-- wp:shortcode -->
[slider]
<!-- /wp:shortcode -->',
'post_title' => 'My Slider',
'post_type' => 'wp_block',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'comment_status' => 'closed',
'ping_status' => 'closed',
'guid' => sprintf(
'%s/wp_block/%s',
site_url(),
sanitize_title('my-slider')
)

Wordpress AJAX PHP(html) file that is within Wordpress Loop
I have a Wordpress AJAX call that is working in as much as it is able to get raw data from a PHP file. The AJAX is using the admin-ajax.php file. However, the PHP file I need to get is within the loop of the page. Where it is being placed is where it works if it was just included on the page.
To summarize: if the PHP file being AJAXed has in it:
<?php echo 'this is the file!' ?>
…everything works fine. But if it has:
<?php the_title(); ?>
…it returns blank.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! | There is no such thing as an AJAX call that's inside the loop. The server has no idea what page or where on that page an ajax call is coming from unless you explicitly send it that data as a part of the ajax call. You're going to need to send some data to the php function so it can recreate the correct query (or the current post if that's all you need.) i.e. You send a post ID in the ajax, the php function it calls then does `$post_id = $_POST[post_id];` (please add your own sanitization and validation here.)

Taxonomy page template changing when using query variables
I'm hoping someone can help me fill in the gaps in my understanding of page templates and query vars:
I've registered a custom taxonomy 'stream', and have set up a page template for that taxonomy, taxonomy-stream.php. The page template lists an archive of posts that are using the respective taxonomy term. Everything there works fine.
I'm trying to add a filter to the sidebar to allow the user to narrow down the taxonomy archive of posts based on Categories. I am finding that if I add a query var to the URL (?category_name=text, for example) that the page template switches from my taxonomy-stream.php template to archive.php. My goal, however, is for the ?category_name=test query var to limit the results of the taxonomy archive.
The query var itself seems to be changing the page template to archive.php instead of keeping it on the taxonomy-stream.php template. What am I missing here? | The problem is that `category_name` is a reserved keyword for the built-in categories for posts. Almost anything `category_*` is reserved. You can find a list of reserved keywords at the following url:
<
This includes, but is not limited to:
* cat
* category
* category__and
* category__in
* category__not_in
* category_name
* term
* terms
Behind the scenes it sees that you're using the `category_name` reserved keyword. It knows categories are a taxonomy of posts and switches to the `archive.php` template. If the `archive.php` template did not exist it would default to `index.php` and try to load posts looking for anything in the `test` category (taxonomy). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

echo rtrim($cats, ', ');
}

echo '<span>'.$category->name .'</span>';
}
If someone would be so kind to guide me I would be very grateful, this brings me | In this line:
$cats .= $category->name . ', ';
You append a name of category to variable called $cats.
But you never reset this variable. So every post appends its categories to the same variable.

$categories = get_the_terms($custom_args->ID, 'veranstaltungen-category');
$cats = ''; // set empty string as value
foreach ($categories as $category) {
$cats .= $category->name . ', ';
echo rtrim($cats, ', ');
}

if ( $i ) echo ', ';

get_the_id, get_the_permalink, and get_the_title all with one DB call
we are trying to optimize a heavy traffic WP site, and am looking for a way to get the data for these three WP functions with only one query, in order to reduce queries & load on DB server:
$wpid=get_the_ID();
$title=get_the_title($different_post_id);
$perma=get_the_permalink($different_post_id);
Is this possible?
EDIT-- adjusted above example code to correctly indicate that in this case, we're grabbing the title and permalink for a different post_id -vs- the one that's returned by get_the_ID(); | These functions do not even call the database each time they are run. It just pulls them off the current post object that was returned by the database query that retrieved the posts. There's nothing to optimise here.
`get_the_ID()` and `get_the_title()` literally just return `$post->ID` and `$post->post_title`. `get_permalink()` is a little bit more complicated, because it needs to do logic to figure out what the URL should be, based on permalink settings etc., but it doesn't require additional database calls.
WordPress is not _so_ poorly optimised that you need to do anything about these functions. If it's how the documentation tells you how to do it, and it's how the default themes work, then it's _fine_.
If you're concerned about the speed of your site, then install Query Monitor and at least check what queries are _actually_ being made before deciding on a target. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Error Handling when building Wordpress themes
I'm very new to the developing world and have been, with the help of Youtube, been learning to design Wordpress themes with HTML, CSS and PHP. I am using MAMP to locally host my wordpress site. When I make an error, like forgetting to close my PHP tag, and I refresh my site, all I see is "the site is experiencing technical difficulties" and I'm not sure where I can check my syntax or other errors. Any suggestions? | When developing it's a good idea to enable debugging, as described in this article in the developer handbook.
Essentially in wp-config.php you want to define the `WP_DEBUG` as `true`.
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
This will cause WordPress to output more errors and warnings to the screen, which can help finding issues. You can also log these to `wp-content/debug.log` by setting `WP_DEBUG_LOG` to `true`:
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
In 5.2+ you might also want to disable the 'fatal error handler', which is responsible for the screen that's displaying the "the site is experiencing technical difficulties" message.
define( 'WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER', true );
Just keep in mind that none of these should be turned on in a live environment. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I view wordpress site hosted locally in my home LAN network from the Internet (outside LAN network)?
I have my wordpress multisite setup in LAN network. I also setup dynamic DNS (eg. www.mysite.com) which is directed to my router's public IP (eg. 10.10.10.10). My router will port forward any request to my server's IP (eg. 192.168.0.100).
When I tried to view the wordpress site from another device in my LAN network by typing in my server's IP in the browser, the site showed up nicely. But when I tried to view the site from a device outside of my LAN network by typing in the dynamic DNS name or my router's public IP, the browser showed that there was an error. Sometimes it show timed out error and sometimes it show that a network change has been detected.
The site URL and wordpress URL was set to (< for this example.
Is there any way I could configure so that the site could be viewed from outside the LAN network? Any solution is much appreciated. | You need to set up port forwarding on your router.
So when you go to your public-facing IP address (say it's 204.122.30.5, use a "what's my IP" site, or check your router's info page), you'll want to set up incoming port xxxx to forward to your local server (in your case 192.168.0.100).
Once you get it set up, if you go to < (your public-facing address plus the port number you set up for port forwarding), you should be able to get to your local site from the outside. For the 'xxxx' number, choose a four-digit value that is random.
Be aware that there are some security risks involved in allowing outside access to your home network. There are things you can do to mitigate those risks. Lots of googles/bings/ducks can help you out with that and port forwarding. Your router's manufacturer's support pages will also help with setting up port forwarding. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Woocommerce Moving Review Below add to cart breaks button
Trying to add the reviews on a site below the add to cart button in woocommerce. Both these snippets of code do it:
add_action('woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button', create_function( '$args', 'call_user_func(\'comments_template\');'), 14);
function woocommerce_template_product_reviews() {
woocommerce_get_template( 'single-product-reviews.php' );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button', 'comments_template', 50 );
The add to cart will now not work unless you complete a review.
Is there a way to do this with hooks?
Or will I need to use jQuery to clone and move the review code to where I want it. | `woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button` is inside the `<form>` element for adding items to the cart, but the reviews form is its own form, and you can't have one form inside another form.

Enable errors PHP Wordpress 5.2

How can I say if a URL is a post, page, or taxonomy archive?
I'm studying for SEO purposes how a few WordPress sites (that aren't mine) are organized, link structure architecture and so on.
Therefore I need to know if a specific URL of a website is a post, page, or a taxonomy archive.
Can I do that using Chrome Inspect tool? How?
If no, so any other way to get this information?
Thanks for all help! | WordPress sites usually use `body_class()`, which adds CSS classes to the `<body>` tag. If you inspect the body element itself, most sites will show you something like
`<body class="page-template page-template-tpl-events page-template-tpl-events-php page page-id-1168 page-parent page-child parent-pageid-378">`
You can tell from these classes that this is a Page, using a Page Template, it is a Parent, and it is also a Child. You'll see similar classes that tell you when you're on a Post, Archive, etc. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to stop my themes CSS changing the Wordpress interface/?
I'm currently busy exploring Wordpress theme development. I've made a theme and uploaded it to my Wordpress development site. In a css file of me, I've declared some styles for the h1, h2, h3 etc. The thing is that some of those styles are being applied to header in my Wordpress interface. This is of course not how it should be. Has anyone an idea on how to fix this? Other Wordpress themes that I used never had this weird thing.
` is run inside functions.php outside of a hooked function, like this:
<?php
wp_enqueue_style( 'my-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
functions.php is loaded on the front-end and back-end when your theme is active, so this will load the stylesheet in both places.
To only load a stylesheet on the front-end you need to run this function inside another function that is hooked to the `wp_enqueue_scripts` hook:
<?php
function wpse_341512_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'my-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse_341512_enqueue_styles' );
By doing this, `wp_enqueue_style()` is only run when `wpse_341512_enqueue_styles()` is run, and using `add_action()` like this queues up that function to only run on the front-end. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

JavaScript Change focus to password field login page being reset
I have a special situation where I want users on the standard WordPress login page enter a password. I'm filling in the username with a line of javascript:
document.getElementById('user_login').value = 'username';
By default the focus starts on the username field. I want to have the focus start on the password field...
document.getElementById('user_pass').focus();
but this isn't working. It looks like it might be focusing on the password field for a moment and then going back to the username field.
Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix it?
(I don't want to just hide the username field, I need actual admins to be able to login as usual. This special autofilled username only gets role access to one little part of the site. And I don't want to use a password protected page for other reasons.) | This sounds like a timing issue, there is probably already some JS running after your script is ran.
Try wrapping your JS in $(window).load(), this will run the function after other page assets have loaded and should fix the timing issue.
For example...
$(window).load(function() {
document.getElementById('user_pass').focus();
});

ACF under category name in shop page
I'm using display categories only for shop page setup in woocommerce. I added custom field (textfield) for product categories in Advanced custom fields.
I would like to display this text under category title on shop page (not on category page).
in content-product_cat.php after
do_action( 'woocommerce_shop_loop_subcategory_title', $category );

$term_id = get_queried_object()->term_id;
$post_id = 'product_cat_'.$term_id;
$custom_field = get_field('krotki_opis_kategorii', $post_id); // My Advanced Custom Field Variable
echo $custom_field;
But it's not working. | If i understand you correctly here you want to display some text under each of the category titles on your shop page. Instead of editing the template i would suggest using a hook. To do this you should move your code into **functions.php**.
**The complete code would look something like this:**
add_action('woocommerce_after_subcategory_title', 'wpse_add_custom_text_under_category_title', 10);
function wpse_add_custom_text_under_category_title($category) {
$term_id = 'product_cat_'.$category->term_id;
the_field('krotki_opis_kategorii', $term_id);
}
The reason why your code is not working is because when you run **get_queried_object_id** on the shop page it will return the id of the page and not the category. When you use the hook, the **$category** object will be passed in through the hook like in the code above.

Shortcode to show current post category with link

Why I can't change the permalink of a WP page?
I wonder if you can help me, please?
I have the following problem with a permalink.
I have tried to change the permalink for the following link from < to <
by going into page on the Dashboard and editing it there. Each time that I save it, WP changes it back to what-are-impact-goals-2. I can change it to other things (eg impact-goals) but not to what-are-impact-goals.
I searched for help and one recommendation is to empty trash. I have no pages in trash.
Other is to check Media. Again, no similar link.
< takes me to my homepage.
I presume that WP has what-are-impact-goals recorded somewhere. Any ideas? | May be the main reason of this issue is that the WordPress finds that this URLs already assign to any post which exists in database. so You have to check permalinks of the every pages/post or attachments are not using that permalink. It could be in publish, drafts or trash as well.
or you can find in wp_posts table in database from phpmyadmin. you can search using :
wp_posts > search tab > "post_name" operator LIKE%..% value "what-are-impact-goals"
or you can fire SQL query in SQL tab:
SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_name` LIKE '%what-are-impact-goals%'

The main functions that you’d want to make pluggable are functions that are used in templates i.e. template tags, and those functions aren’t usually hooked, so the placement of `add_action()` isn’t relevant.

How to add a panel/box/widget/are/screen to the right side of edit post/page confusion

How do I get WordPress to create resizes of a supplied default image in a theme?
In case my recent questions have not made it abundantly clear, I am trying my hand at theme creation. Among the many other things that I am still figuring out are image sizes. Specifically `add_image_size(...)`. I know I can use it to tell WordPress the sizes to make default images and so forth. Can I do that with an asset in my theme?
In my theme, I have an assets folder which contains a 1200x1200 image for use as a default in a range of cases. One part of my theme calls for images 140x140. Now, I could push that huge file into the `src` for an image but it would be kinder on page load times if I resized it.
The do it myself hack would be to open GIMP and make one image for every size I can possibly imagine wanting.
Given I'm changing things all the time, I would rather let WordPress do that for me. Can I do that? If so how? | Images sizes are only relevant for uploads in the media library. If you have assets in your theme then you need to include whichever sizes are needed for how they're used in the theme.

How to configure two SMTP Server for wordpress

I need to send transactional e-mails from two SMTP configurations.

All WordPress user side of e-mails should send from [email protected]. Example: Forget password e-mail, account creation e-mail.
Note: All methods are working. I just want to send different e-mails from their respective purpose. | Disclaimer: this is clumsy, someone might have a better suggestion. But here's one idea:
1. Leave WordPress configured with your [email protected] settings.
2. Set up Woo with the [email protected] address (WooCommerce -> Settings -> Emails -> From Address).
3. Hook woocommerce_mail_callback with your own function that temporarily hooks phpmailer_init to change the SMTP configuration before calling wp_mail.
Or perhaps you can skip step 3 if your SMTP server can be configured to allow an alternate "from" address for authenticated users.
And just a heads up: WooCommerce supplies its own forgot password and new account emails, so you'd need to decide whether you want to return those to their WordPress defaults, or just change them as well in step 3. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to get all CPT names into WP_Query 'post_type' parameter?
hello
I want to display post based on his ID. This post could be a default 'post', 'page' or other registered custom post type. In query I sould specify all CPT names which I want to use, for eg.
'post_type' => array('post', 'page', 'my_cpt')
My question is how can I set 'post_types' automatically for all registered post types, without manually specify them?
I'm striving for something like that:
$post_types = ALL-POST-TYPES-NAMES;
$the_query = new WP_Query(
array(
'post_type' => $post_types,
'p' => ID,
)
);
Thanks! | You can get a list of post types with the `get_post_types()` function:
$post_types = get_post_types();
In your case you'll want to set the second `$output` parameter to `names` (since that's what you need to pass to the `post_type` argument), and you'll probably want to set the `$args` in the first argument so that only public post types are returned, otherwise you could end up with weird stuff like menu items and revisions:
$post_types = get_post_types( [ 'public' => true ], 'names' );
However, it looks like you're just looking for a specific post based on the ID. If that's the case, then you don't need post types or a query at all. Just pass the ID to `get_post()`:

Calling a function from functions.php in custom page/ blog post
Is it possible to call a function from functions.php in custom page or blog post?
I put simple function in functions.php:
function testTest()
{
echo "Test";
}
And called it from the page:
<?php testTest();?>
But it doesn't work. Do I need to make a plugin to use simple function like that inside one chosen custom page?
Thanks for your answer, Mary | You could use add_shortcode if you want to use it within the editor.
function footag_func() {
return "Test";
}
add_shortcode( 'footag', 'footag_func' );
And then use [footag] in your editor.
Or
Use code like this in functions.php and add a conditional tag
add_action( 'loop_start', 'your_function' );
function your_function() {
if ( is_singular('post') ) {
echo 'Test';
}
}
or
Create a function in functions.php
function your_function() {
return 'Test';
}
And then use this in your template
echo your_function(); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

rename navigation menu label in wordpress theme by code
Hello there i have a navigation menu in my wordpress theme. The navigation menu has two items. One has the label “home” and the other “categories”. I need to rename the label “home” to something else and the “categories” label name as well. How is this possible on the fly? | Maybe try filtering just the menu items you want when they get printed back on the front end. You can do that in functions.php
Here you can filter the HTML list content for navigation menus. <
After some talk, give this a try and then call your `lo()` where you need it:
function lo() {
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'dynamic_label_change', 10, 2 );
function dynamic_label_change( $items,$args) {
if($args->theme_location == 'primary'){
$items = str_replace("Categories", "new_string", $items);
$items = str_replace("Latest Offers", "another_new_string", $items);
}
return $items;

Woocommerce product search result layout page
I have made a 'archive-product-custom.php' file who is called in 'taxonomy-product-cat.php'.
I do this to easily change the layout of product when a user is looking on a specific category page (in the archive-product-custom i changed the wc_get_template_part to my "content-product-custom" file)
This is the only one and easiest method i found for doing what i want without broke the entire theme (content-product template is used everywhere.. related, cart, up-sells, cross-sells)
Is it possible to change the layout of the search result with the same above techniques?
Or maybe you have a better solution for me? All i want is a custom product layout on each category page and search result without changing the cross-sells, up-sells and related product layout | Usually there is a comment at the start of each WC template file, which basically says: `This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/wc-template-name.php.`. This is the correct and recommended way to override WooCommerce templates.
I think you should look into having a child theme for when there is a theme that already have those templates overridden, or even if it doesn't. See < for reference.
What I said above is applicable for the `search.php` as well. Of course it will depend very much on your theme setup.

Why is my multisite installation not showing all the available sites?
Please check out the image below, there are four sites listed on the right side but only three of them appear on the drop down menu on the left. The site that is missing is not the main website.
![enter image description here]( | This is because you're only a member of 3 sites. As a super admin you have the ability to view the full site list via the network admin, but that doesn't mean you're a part of every site.
The admin bar menu only lists the sites you're a member of, not the full list, that's how it's intended to work. Otherwise users would see sites listed that they have no access to.
For example, on my own site, there's a subsite I created for a friend. It does not appear in the admin bar menu either. If I look at the users page, I am not listed.
The only reason I have access is because I am a super admin. As a result it's listed in the network admin, and I can access the site as if I were an administrator.
Despite my super admin access, until I add myself to the site I won't have a role on it, and it won't show in the admin menu. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What is difference between 'Page Cache' and 'Object Cache' in WordPress?
I am optimizing my WordPress website. I am using 2 WordPress plugins right now. First one is 'Autoptimize' for optimizing CSS, JS, and HTML. And another one is 'WP Super Cache' for caching pages.
While reading about WordPress optimization, I came across another term called 'Object Caching'. But I still can't figure out the difference between 'Page Cache' and 'Object Cache'.
Can someone help me understand this? Is 'Object Cache' needed even if I am using 'Page Cache'? | Page cache is the entire rendered html output for a page. It's useful for serving static content like a WordPress post.
Object cache is often the resource-heavy pieces that make up a page. For example, When you use `WP_Query` each result would be stored in object cache. This prevents WordPress from hitting the database every time `WP_Query` is used.
For example, if you use ajax for pagination, the next page of results would be stored in object cache and not in page cache. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to reference a function from a class in a different file which is also namespaced?
For example I am inside a file1.php with a namespaced class, like so:
<?php
namespace FrameWork\CPT;
class CPT{
.....
public function register_custom_post_type()
{
$args = array(
'register_meta_box_cb' => //PROBLEM: How to reference from a different file
which also contains a namespaced class
register_post_type('plugin-cpt', $args);
}
How do I access a public function from a namespaced class from file2.php?
<?php
namespace FrameWork\Helper;
class Metabox{
.....
public function register_metaboxes()
{
// I want to reference this function
} | Firstly, to do this the `register_metaboxes()` method needs to be static:
public static function register_metaboxes()
{
}
Then, for the callback you pass an array with the full class name including the namespace:
$args = array(
'register_meta_box_cb' => [ 'FrameWork\Helper\Metabox', 'register_metaboxes' ],
);
If, for whatever reason, `register_metaboxes()` isn't static (i.e. you're using `$this`) then passing the class name isn't enough, you need to pass an instance of the class:
namespace FrameWork\CPT;
class CPT {
public function register_custom_post_type()
{
$meta_box_helper = new FrameWork\Helper\Metabox();
$args = [
'register_meta_box_cb' => [ $meta_box_helper, 'register_metaboxes' ],
];

How to disable automated E-Mail on PHP error/exception?
Since WordPress 5.2 there is an automated E-Mail on PHP exceptions.

This is usually one of my freelance customers and they unecessarily panic then.
Therefore I would like to turn of this email notifications (without changing the admin email). Is there some kind of action/filter, config option (e.g. define) to disable this behaviour? Some true/false option would be the best? Then I can disable this just for the times I develop. | There was some discussion on it a few weeks ago you can find here: <

How to get post image root URL?

$FeaturedImage = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(

$FeaturedImage = get_attached_file( get_post_thumbnail_id() );
Getting the path to a specific size is more complicated. WordPress stores the filename for resized versions of the images in as attachment metadata, that can be retrieved with `wp_get_attachment_metadata()`. Once you have the filename of the resized version, you just need to replace the original filename in the path with the resized version's filename:
$image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$image_meta = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $image_id );
$image_path = get_attached_file( $image_id );

How do I extract just the post ID of the first item in whatever WP_Query returns?
How do I extract just the post ID of the first item in whatever WP_Query returns? All the examples, answers, and documentation that I have seen dives off into doing things with loops. That's nice, but I just want the first ID. Nothing else. As the plugin will only ever generate a custom post type when there is none, the user should only have one. I need to get the ID of that post.
How do I find a post ID? Is there an easier way to find out if the user has a post available?
This is as far as I have gotten:
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'author' => $current_user,
'post_type' => 'my_custom_post_type',
// etc.
) );
$author_posts = new WP_Query( $query );
if( $author_posts->have_posts() ) {
// They have at least one. Grovey, now what?
}
unset($author_posts); | If you only need the ID of a single post of a custom post type, to see if it exists, I'd suggest just using `get_posts()` with `fields` set to `ids`:
$post_ids = get_posts(
[
'numberposts' => 1,
'author' => $current_user,
'post_type' => 'my_custom_post_type',
'fields' => 'ids',
]
);
if ( isset( $post_ids[0] ) ) {
$post_id = $post_ids[0];
}
However, if you have a post type where every user gets 1 post, I'd suggest storing the ID of their post as user meta. Then you don't need to bother with this sort of query:

Suspicious google tag manager

* Did I get some kind of virus in one of the plugins I've downloaded? I have plugins related to analytics deactivated so unless one of the other plugins I have is doing that, not sure where it is coming form
* Any advice on finding what is injecting it other than disabling all plugins?

JSON-LD: creating an AggregateOffer from many shortcode
I've created a shortcode which outputs product schema in JSON-LD format.
1 schortcode = 1 product = 1 product schema output 2 schortcode = 2 product = 2 product schema output
The problem is that then I've realized that **all** the products in an article should create a single JSON-LD (see the image).
2 schortcode = 2 product = **1** product schema output
This means that **the schema output should be outputted only by the last shortcode of this kind**.
# The question
Shortcodes output in wordpress are usually independent one from the others, they are "stateless" (the output depends only on the input parameters). But can I force them to a different behaviour? I've thought of using global variables inside the shortcode handler and output the aggregated JSON **only after the last shortcode has been called** ).
**Is this a good solution?**
.
You can save all the matches, and their attributes, and remove them from the content. Then, you can either move them all to the end (or where ever you want them) or process them to get whatever data you need.
On the other hand, you could just use microdata schema markup in your html instead of the JSON-LD format. For an example, see Example 1 here and click the microdata tab.

When does save_post hook fire on post save/update
In my plugin I want to update sitemap every time **page** or **post** is created/modified. To achieve this I use `save_post` hook:
add_action( 'save_post', 'update_sitemap', 10, 3);
Upon creating/saving/updating/deleting any **page** my callback method `update_sitemap` is fired but when i create/save/update/delete any **post** it doesn't seem to fire callback `update_sitemap` immediately.
I tested this for custom post types and it works immediately like for pages.
When I add 2 new regular posts, callback method is called once. Only after any further modification callback for 2nd post is fired.
Is this expected behaviour for `save_post` hook? | `save_post` is fired at the end of `wp_insert_post()` which is the core function that's run whenever a post is inserted or updated (`wp_update_post()` calls it internally). This includes when the post is updated via the classic editor and the block editor (Gutenberg), as well whenever it's updated via the REST API. The only reason it wouldn't fire is if the post was being updated via SQL directly (via a plugin or otherwise), or when only post meta is updated via a function.
So no, this is not the expected behaviour. If your function isn't firing then it could be interference from another theme or plugin, or it could be an issue with the function itself, but there's not enough information in the question to say either way. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to rewrite wordpress search to work on specific category

How to target only one element if more elements share the same CSS class

Option 1: Customize the theme templates to apply a different class to the first item. Requires some WordPress templating and php know-how.

Manual use of Walker_Category class

$menu_items = get_categories();
$walk = new \Walker_Category();
print_r( $walk->walk( $menu_items, -1 ) );

Notice: Undefined index: use_desc_for_title in /srv/www/my-site.com/current/web/wp/wp-includes/class-walker-category.php on line 114
What is the right way to use Walker_category class? | the Walker_Category class you are using requires 3 params in walk() method, the third param will be use_desc_for_title value (this is due to how Walker_Category::start_el() method is written).
In other words, to use the walk() method without generating a notice you should change your last line to
`print_r( $walk->walk( $menu_items, -1, -1 ) );`
The third param is a boolean:
* "-1" (or false) - will remove the "title" attribute from the generated menu links
* "1" ( or true) - will make the menu use category description for the title attribute. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress Multisite - Domain Mapping
I recently installed a Wordpress Multisite and have set everything up. The one aspect that seems to have severally lacking information is how to map custom domains to each sub-site (i.e. jcs.examplesite.com to joescrabshack.com). I did see there is a plugin that 1000s of people used to do this, but it hasn't been supported now with further development in 3+ years and seems to unreliable moving forward. If anybody could share resources or tutorials on how to map sub-sites to custom domain names, I would greatly appreciate. Do I need to have a separate IP address for each to redirect via DNS?
Thank you | As you might already know, this is done via the Edit button for the site. That contains all of the wp-options table rows for that sub-site. I always go through that entire list (it is long) and change all occurances of www.example.com/site1 to www.mydomain.com (the domain name for that subsite).
Many plugins/themes store info in the wp-options table, so you have to check each entry in that subsite edit screen. Then bring up a few pages with the new domain name, and use the F12/Inspector and look at the network tab to ensure that all the requests are to the new domain name.
Note that you may also need to fix any old urls for media entries. I'd use a search/replace plugin (I use the "Better Search and Replace" one) to easily change all www.example.com/site1 to www.newdomain.com . Backup your database first, of course. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Changing a parent theme safely
Im looking to edit a parent theme, and not just the functions and style files. I find that child themes don’t have the flexibility i want. How can i edit the parent theme without all the risk and the possibility of an update overriding all my changes? | In short: Not easily.
First - just to say it: with child themes you can hook into functions, filter values, change templates or even exchange javascript files. This is usually enough.
Edit based on the comments: If the theme is coded with best practices and checks for child theme directory you may just copy the template from the parent theme to the child theme and do your changes there.
If child theme is not enough you have two possibilities:
1. Write down your changes manually or backup the files. Once you update the theme reproduce the steps.
2. Connect to your server with ssh. Install a git in the themes folder (or root if you need to). Check in your changes. Whenever you update the theme git merge the changes into the updated theme. Git is nothing for beginners. Make sure to backup your complete installation before experimenting with git.
There's no other solution imho. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

After you include the first blog header, all of the WP functions are now present in the global namespace, all the databse details set, plugins and theme loaded, etc. In order to reset things you would need an entirely new request, defeating the point.
If your goal is to gather data from multiple instances there are better solutions:
* A multisite installation, allowing `switch_to_blog()` to do this
* Calling the REST API ( this can be done via JS or even a different program written in a different language )
* WP CLI commands

How To Export User's Custom Fields in CSV or XLSX
Hi Guys I have a BIG problem.. I'm using Eduma LMS and I have 2 type of customers... Some buy single video course, some others buy a membership (managed by Paid Membership Pro).
When a user buy a product or a membership he/she it has to fill a required custom field (codice snep). That is the ID number of their network marketing account.
Today the company asked me for a CSV files with all their names and the ID codice snep.
I tried to export with some plugins but all of them ignore that custom field (ID) codice snep..
How can I export it too? The free plugins are not working :( They just export the basic fields of wp, ignoring custom fields.
Thank u in advance! <3 | Probably the easiest way to do this is to connect to the database using MySQL Workbench or similar, and extract the data using a SQL query e.g.
select u.user_login, u.user_email,
m1.meta_value as first_name, m2.meta_value as last_name,
m3.meta_value as billing_codice_snep,
m4.meta_value as codice_snep
from wp_users u
left join wp_usermeta m1 on m1.user_id = u.id and m1.meta_key = 'first_name'
left join wp_usermeta m2 on m2.user_id = u.id and m2.meta_key = 'last_name'
left join wp_usermeta m3 on m3.user_id = u.id and m3.meta_key = 'billing_codice_snep'
left join wp_usermeta m4 on m4.user_id = u.id and m4.meta_key = 'codice_snep'
and then you can use Workbench's export to save this as a CSV or XLSX.
I'm guessing that you have called your user meta fields 'codice_snep' and 'billing_codice_snep'. If not, you'll have to change the last two lines of the query with the correct user meta keys. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Check if emojis is disabled
How can check if the emoji is disabled on the site or not?
I have searched for an official function but I haven't found anything officially, We are creating a theme and will publish it soon and need to check if the customer has disabled the emojis by adding any function or by any another way. | To completely remove emojis this is the code:
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7 );
remove_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );
remove_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
remove_action( 'admin_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
So to check if any of those are active you could use `has_action()` like this:
$emoji_script front = has_action( 'wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );
if( $emoji_script_front ) {
// The emoji script is loaded on the front end
}
You could do different things for each of the actions. `has_action` does not care about priority, and this should work in the functions.php file since it runs later than all of those actions.

Yoast taking over my Wordpress title tag

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

It should be:
**This is a title**
And not what Yoast is doing:
**This is a title - my site name** | That's not what the SEO title does/is for. It appears that you've used the `wp_title()` function in your template by mistake.
`wp_title()` is intended for use in the `<title>` tag in the `<head>` for setting the browser tab/document title. However, since WordPress 4.1 this has been superseded (but not officially _deprecated_ , yet) by `add_theme_support( 'title-tag' )`, so these days `wp_title()` really shouldn't be used. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Multisite setup creating custom table
If I'm running a multi-site setup and I create a new table and add it to the WordPress database, will it be accessible to all sites or is it created to be site specific? | It's up to you.
Normally when you create and query a table you use the `$wpdb->prefix` property as part of the table name. In a multisite install this prefix includes the current site ID. So if you use `dbDelta()` to create a table with the name `$wpdb->prefix . 'tablename'`, then -- assuming the default prefix of `wp_` -- this table will be created as `wp_2_tablename`, and `wp_3_tablename` etc. This ultimately means that each site in the network gets its own copy of the table, and you query the current site's table with `$wpdb->prefix . 'tablename'`.
However, if you want a single table shared across the network, then you should create and query it with `$wpdb->base_prefix`, which will be the same on all sites (`wp_`, if you use the default). That way if you query it with `$wpdb->base_prefix . 'tablename'` the same table will be queried regardless of which site you're currently on. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

echo '<span class="fa fa-youtube"><a href="'.esc_url($youtube_profile).'" ></a></span> ';
}?> | Your reply to gregory24 isn't really explicit enough I'm afraid..
The reason you can display a FontAwesome icon without the if statement is only because this html `<span class="fa fa-youtube">...</span>` is loaded into the DOM of you page meanwhile your `$youtube_profile` variable is likely containing some value but your statement is wrong.
this should work if `$youtube_profile` isn't empty:
<?php
$youtube_profile = get_the_author_meta( 'youtube_profile' );
if ( !empty($youtube_profile) || $youtube_profile != '' ) {
echo '<span class="fa fa-youtube"><a href="'.esc_url($youtube_profile).'"></a</span> ';
}
?>
BUT.. you don't need to check twice for the same thing: `!empty($youtube_profile)` AND `$youtube_profile != ''` checks are the same
the most simple way would be to simply check it like this, no need of checking if not FALSE just check if TRUE

Thanks! | You will have to write a plugin which creates a daily cron job in the WordPress system.
Here's an article describing how to write a cron plugin:

The function (callback) that you trigger in the cron plugin will use WP_QUERY to get a list of all your published custom post types after a certain date.
e.g.
$my_query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'your-cpt-name-here',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'date_query' => array(
array(
'after' => '1 day',
)
),
) );
Run through the results and send an email using `wp_mail()`.

Just pass the array to the function in the second argument, and specify the option name in the first argument (something like `all_visits`).
And then you can retrieve it later using get_option function — just pass option name (in our case, `all_visits`) as the first argument. The value will be retrieved from the wp_options database table and unserialized automatically.
