Enqueue Style Function Not Loading
I've been reading Wordpress Theme Developer Handbook to learn how things work and try to practice according to what's written in there.
I've created my index.php, style.css, function.php and header and footer files. According to the Including CSS & JavaScript Part . it says that other than directly use the link tag, i need to create a functions.php and in to that file i need to add `wp_enqueue_style( 'style', get_stylesheet_uri() );` function with these parameters.
I am adding this line of code to my functions.php but I can't see the file when I look at the source of the page.
I also tried to add this function to my header.php instead of functions.php , it doesn't seem to work. | Your call to `wp_enqueue_style()` looks good and `functions.php` is the right place, but your code should be wrapped inside a function attached to the `wp_enqueue_scripts` hook. See the Combining Enqueue Functions section of the page you referenced for a full example. Generally speaking, any code you run in WordPress should be run on some hook or filter. Otherwise the code will be run as soon as the code is read which is usually not the correct time.
function mytheme_add_theme_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}

Dropdown contents hidden behind content
I know this question has been asked across the net plenty of times already, but despite that, I still can't seem to figure out a feasible solution! :( I'm sure it's a simple fix...
As the title implies, I'm struggling to get some dropdown boxes to show its contents above everything else. I've tried z-index, which perhaps seems like the obvious solution... but perhaps I'm putting the code in the wrong place?

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li

Hide BBPress create topic on one page
Hi sorry this is really basic question. I was just starting to explore wordpress and bbpress, I have a page with the forum index using the shortcode, when I enter a forum it has all the topics and the create topic form. I would like to hide this on this page only. The css to do for the whole document is as follows: `fieldset.bbp-form { display: none; }`. This is good but I would like the form to display on other pages. I have already `.page-id-143 * fieldset.bbp-form { display: none; }`. I appreciate this won't work because it is in some equivalent of an iframe. If there is an answer then I have never really used PHP before so could it be in very simple person terms. Thanks in advance. | This took as surprisingly long time but I managed to figure it out:
fieldset.bbp-form {
display: none;
}
.page-id-170 * fieldset.bbp-form {
display: block !important;
}
I know this hides all and only shows on page id 170, and this is the opposite of what I asked but it suits my needs.
An answer more accurate to the question would be:
fieldset.bbp-form {
display: block;
}
.page-id-170 * fieldset.bbp-form {
display: none !important;
}
For both examples you would replace `.page-id-170` with `.page-id-(your page id)`. A quick guide to finding the page id: < | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Filter Gutenberg Blocks Content
I have a simple terms page made up of heading and paragraph blocks. I'd like to filter the_content before output in order to get the content of any heading blocks and create a menu with links to named anchors at the top. Of course, by the time I filter `the_content` passing `$content` it's already just a string of HTML, no block info.
How might I fetch an array of all the 'blocked' content in my the_content filter? Or is there a better way to achieve this that I'm missing?
EDIT
Or perhaps I should be running a filter on save rather than at output..? | Have you tried using `parse_blocks()` (pass in `get_the_content()`)? That returns an array of all the blocks in your content. From there you can pull out block names and id attributes using an array map or foreach.
Assuming you only want to pull anchor tags from the headings, you could do something like:
$blocks = parse_blocks( get_the_content() );
$block_ids = array();
function get_block_id( $block ) {
if ( $block['blockName'] !== 'core/heading' ) return;
$block_html = $block['innerHTML'];
$id_start = strpos( $block_html, 'id="' ) + 4;

Make WooCommerce product categories only show images on homepage
I am trying to set up my site so that my WooCommerce product categories only show images on my home page. Currently I have this:

} else {
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_subcategory_title', 'woocommerce_subcategory_thumbnail', 10 ) ;
}
}

This does remove the images, but it does so from every page. I've tried using `is_home` instead of `is_front_page`, but it didn't help either. Any suggestions? | Try running your function hooked into the template_redirect action like so:

function fp_categories() {

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_subcategory_title', 'woocommerce_subcategory_thumbnail', 10 ) ;
} else {
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_subcategory_title', 'woocommerce_subcategory_thumbnail', 10 ) ;
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'fp_categories' );

is_admin returning false in backend in server side rendered block
I have a server side rendered block that lists cards with page thumbnails and the title wrapped in a link. I want that the link only gets a href when I'm in the frontend so I avoid clicking on the cards by mistake in the backend and getting redirected to the card page. Here is my code:
$link = is_admin() ? ""
: " href='" . get_permalink($post->ID) . "'";
echo <<<CPTItem
<div class="cpt-list-item"><a class="cpt-list-item__link" $link>
CPTItem;
Unfortunately is_admin() is returning false in the backend in the block itself. I really don't know why, the only thing I can think about is that it's because the block is server side rendered. Is there a way around? | If you have a server side rendered block in the backend, it is rendered via the REST API endpoint `/wp/v2/block-renderer/xyz/blockname`. This endpoint calls your render function. In the frontend the render function is called directly. The function `is_admin()` checks if a backend page was requested. In a REST API Request is no backend page, so the function returns `false` on REST API requests.
Instead you can check, if it is a REST API request via:
if ( defined( 'REST_REQUEST' ) && REST_REQUEST ) {
return 'Backend';
} else {
return 'Frontend';

How to get the Page featured image, not the Post featured image
I currently have in my header.php:
<?php $backgroundImg = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'header-large' ); ?>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
<div id="wrapper-navbar" itemscope itemtype=" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $backgroundImg[0]; ?>');">
<?php } else { ?>
<div id="wrapper-navbar" itemscope itemtype="
<?php } ?>
Which sets the background image if there is a featured image on the pages and posts. If there is none then there is a fall back where I have a default background image.
My problem arises on the Blog page - The page which is set as the "Posts Page'
The background image displayed on the "Posts Page" is the featured image of the latest Post on the list, NOT the featured image I have set for the page.
How do I display the featured image of the Page and not of the latest post on the list? | You might be able to do this by calling `wp_reset_postdata();` otherwise you will need to get the blog page ID and set that on the line before instead:
if ( is_home() ) {$post_id = get_option( 'page_for_posts' );} else {$post_id = $post->ID;}
$backgroundImg = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post_id), 'header-large' ); ?>
Note the `is_home()` is actually used for the blog page, as distinct from `is_front_page()` which is actually for the "homepage". | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Executing Javascript when a New Post is Published
I thought it was simple, but I can’t do it. I’ve been totally stuck for five days
I want to be able to trigger the Javascript console.log() function when a new post is published
function display_console_log() {
echo "
<script>
console.log('New post published')
</script>
";
}
add_action('auto-draft_to_publish', 'display_console_log');
I don’t understand what’s wrong with this code
Thank you in advance to those who will help me | Your code depends on the post being in an `auto-draft` state immediately before publication, which isn't guaranteed. For a more generic option, try using the `transition_post_status` hook:
function display_console_log( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) {
// Only runs if the post is transitioning from a not-published state
// to the `publish` state.
if ( 'publish' !== $old_status && 'publish' === $new_status ) {
echo "
<script>
console.log('New post published')
</script>
";
}
}
add_action( 'transition_post_status', 'display_console_log', 10, 3 );
(Also, tangentially related, it's not in keeping with the WordPress Way to inject JavaScript code directly; I recommend reading up on how and why to use `wp_enqueue_script()`.) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there an option to execute javascript file only on plugin activation
I'm creating a custom plugin for WordPress and I'm trying to execute `javascript` file only once right after plugin activations.
I'm using `register_activation_hook()` and `wp_enqueue_script()` to execute file only once when the plugin is activated.
There are no errors in the code since the `javascript` code works well if it is called outside the `register_activation_hook()`.
This is what I've tried so far:
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'full_install' );
function full_install() {
function rest_api() {
wp_enqueue_script('activation_data_api', plugins_url('assets/js/activation_data_api.js', __FILE__));
}
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'rest_api' );
}
In the end, the plugin needs to execute `javascript` file only once right after activation. | Here is the solution:
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'rest_api_hook' );
/**
* Runs only when the plugin is activated.
*/
function rest_api_hook() {
/* Create data */
set_transient( 'rest_api', true, 5 );
}
/* Add notice */
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'rest_api_hook_exec' );
/**
* Rest API Notice on Activation.
*/
function rest_api_hook_exec() {
/* Check transient, if is available display notice */
if( get_transient( 'rest_api' ) ) {
// Execute script
wp_enqueue_script('activation_data_api', plugins_url('assets/js/activation_data_api.js', __FILE__));
// Delete script after executing

'exclude' => array( 10, 3, 4 ), // not author__not_in
'who' => 'authors', // not in meta_query
);

Issue with theme mod options during domain migration

In order to success the migration I found and replace all previous url occurences (< to the new (< The problem is that old urls cannot be replaced directly in the field `option_value` of `theme_mods_{your theme name}` in the table `wp_options` because data in there are serialized.
How can I replace old urls by the new without breaking theme settings ? | It's possible to search and replace old urls to new ones by using `maybe_unserialize(get_theme_mods())` and `get_theme_mod()` WP functions and following these steps:

2. Insert the following code :
require_once("wp-load.php");
$r = maybe_unserialize(get_theme_mods());
foreach ($r as $k => $v){

What is an endpoint for custom post type comments in REST API?
In my react project i am using worpdress as backend and need to use my custom post type `events` comments also.
So as per the WordPress documentation for comments API i am using an endpoint like this “`/wp/wp-json/wp/v2/comments?events=704`”; so according to this it should display only 704 post-ids comments.
But in my case it returns me all the comments which are posted in the `post_type = post` also. See below JSON result of the above API endpoint for custom post type.

Expired event redirect to parent category
I build a website for a client of mine, that is going to continuously host events for his area.
One of the requirements he has is to expire and remove from the database the events already completed.

The question is, how I could redirect with `301` the search engines and the visitors to the parent category of each event?
So let's say we have the categories `theater` and `concert`.
If I have an even for theater, and the event is expired + removed from the DB, how can I make the redirect to the `theater` category for all the upcoming visitors?
Any idea?

What if I make a custom table to record the slugs of the events and the category IDs when an event is deleted, and then when I have a 404, to check the DB table for the requested slug and make a redirect using the category ID?

any fix? | The error is self explanatory: `PLUGIN_PATH` is not defined anywhere.
It is not one of WordPress' default constants (which are listed here, and all start with `WP_`). In the context of the code you've copied, it's apparent that it was either supposed to be replaced with the path to your plugin (in which case using a constant in the example code was a bad idea), or it used to exist (the answer is 8 years old). This is mentioned in the comments on your own link.
To get the path to a plugin file (these days at least), you need to use `plugin_dir_path()`:
if ( file_exists( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'Custom_File.php' ) ) {
return plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'Custom_File.php';
}
Just be aware that `plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ )` returns the path to the current file, so if the file containing this code is in a subfolder of your plugin you need to account for that. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I want to create a dynamic url like

How to retrieve the post featured image (thumbnail) ID in Gutenberg blocks?

What is the difference between get_permalink vs get_the_permalink?
What is the difference between get_permalink vs get_the_permalink? | Nothing.
`get_permalink()` is the original function, and is used to get the permalink URL for a post.
`get_the_permalink()` was introduced in 3.9 simply so the permalink function was consistent with the other post-related template tags, such as `get_the_title()`, `get_the_content()`, which are all prefixed with `get_the_`.
The equivalent functions for echoing the result of those functions are the same but without the `get_`, such as `the_title()`, but in the equivalent for `get_permalink()` is not `permalink()`, it's `the_permalink()`, so the lack of `get_the_permalink()` was an inconsistency.
Using the function just calls `get_permalink()`, which still exists for backwards compatibility reasons, so the result will be exactly the same. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to Include a Loop Template File in a Plugin

Child theme blocks post from publishing

1. I did not touch anything in the custom post type logic
2. Only change, apart from usual child theme `style.css` and `functions.php` to load parent style is to introduce different logic of `search.php` to display only that custom post type in search results
However, when I load that child template, I am unable to publish a new post of that custom post type. Updating current posts work, but clicking "Publish" button does nothing. Saving draft works.
Where should I look, apart server logs (which are empty) in order to resolve this? | I assume it's only the child-theme which encounters this error - and therefore it is probably a small error - but not seeing any errors in the logs makes it harder to determine exactly where the error is.
First of all, I would suggest you turn on your WP_DEBUG in the wp-config.php, maybe there's an error you're missing. You can find more information on the WP_DEBUG define here.
If no errors are shown, please check your console for any errors (Right click > Inspect > console tab). I'm certain there's an error either by activating WP_DEBUG or checking the console.

How can I change it to use the permalink setting? The post page displays differently when the link has only the date format and I don't want google indexing the posts twice. | The calendar widget doesn't link to "each day's post".

If you click the post title (or "Continue Reading" or "Read More" link if there is one) you will be taken to the single post whose URL will match your settings.
If you've only ever made one post per day, then the date archive for a specific day will only show one post, but if you make more than that the date archive will show multiple posts on the same page. The purpose of the calendar widget is to provide links to these date archives.

Custom post type, global categories — what’s the template name?
The documentation for template hierarchy for custom post types (CPT) includes:
1. Either for the CPT itself (`archive-cptname.php`)
2. Or for custom taxonomies (`taxonomy-taxonomyname.php`)
3. Or for overall categories (`category-catname.php`)
But it doesn't include the obvious "CPT, with global categories". What would that be? I tried something like `archive-cptname-categoryname.php`, but this doesn't work. Any pointers? | Because there's no such thing.
If you use the same taxonomy for two or more post types then there isn't separate archives for each post type in that taxonomy's terms. There's a single archive for that taxonomy that lists posts of both post types. This might not work for built in taxonomies (categories and tags) though, as they are configured to only display posts. To display your post type on the category archive you'll need to use the `pre_get_posts` filter to add it:
add_filter(
'pre_get_posts',
function( $query ) {
if ( $query->is_category() ) {
$query->set( 'post_type', [ 'post', 'cptname' ] );
}

How to target parent product category and its children using WooCommerce?
In WooCommerce, archive-product is the default template for all product categories. I want to create a new product category template for one parent category and all of its children.
I've created a new template **archive-foo.php**
Now I need to change the code inside **taxonomy-product_cat.php** and tell it to use archive-foo.php "if it's my parent category or any of its children".
Here is my code inside **taxonomy-product_cat.php** :
if (is_product_category( 'foo-category' ) || cat_is_ancestor_of(19, get_queried_object()->term_id )){ wc_get_template( 'archive-foo.php' );
} else { wc_get_template( 'archive-product.php' ); }
Currently, it's working for the parent category, but none of its children. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | the WordPress function `cat_is_ancestor_of()` is made for WordPress categories, **but not** for WooCommerce product categories which is a custom taxonomy `product_cat`.
For Custom taxonomies you can use WordPress `term_is_ancestor_of()` function like:
term_is_ancestor_of( 19, get_queried_object_id(), 'product_cat' )
So in your code:
if ( is_product_category( 'foo-category' ) || term_is_ancestor_of( 19, get_queried_object_id(), 'product_cat' ) ) {
wc_get_template( 'archive-foo.php' );
} else {
wc_get_template( 'archive-product.php' );
}
This time it should work. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Change text color dynamically in Wordpress
I would like to have a transparent nav bar. On the landing page, there will be a slider with images of varying colors, so I would like to change the text color of menu items to contrast against each respective image.
A solution I found here seemed ideal: <
However, when I implement here in an HTML builder: < it outputs a totally different effect. Same code, same browser, so I'm assuming it's Wordpress?
`mix-blend-mode: difference` also seems to have no effect when I've applied it to other selectors from the stylesheet. Is there a reason WP won't output the same as the codepen?
I would love a pure CSS solution if possible. JS as a last resort is doable, but not preferable. I have found SASS solutions, but have no idea what to do with that. | If you inspect the text, you'll see that your theme's CSS is overriding your custom CSS.
You have `h2 { color: white; }`
but your theme has `.widget h2 { color: inherit; }`
so "inherit" wins out. If you change your own CSS to
`.widget h2 { color: white; }`
it will override the theme. Incidentally, the markup here is quite overly complex; you might want to look into a simpler theme without quite so many nested divs. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Custom admin page: How to save changes specific to users
I created a custom admin page in Wordpress and it works as it should. I also figured out how to save things, and have it displayed on the website.

Said in another way, you have to, for example, enter your phone number in an input field, where this phone number should appear on the website. I can do that part myself, but when other users access my custom admin page, they have to enter their own and not what another user has entered. | Then save the data in the usermeta table, linked to each user, by `update_user_meta()` and `get_user_meta()` functions. `get_current_user_id()` gives you the $user_id to pass.

Sync plugin settings (wp_options table) on multiple environments
How do you guys handle database changes, more specifically the settings (wp_options)?
Im looking for something like, having a JSON file (or migration files bit similar like Laravel) with settings, that I can run after a deployment.
For example once I install WooCommerce I have a list with default settings (presets) I want to use and import at once. But also once I add a new feature or plugin that I can migrate those settings across multiple environments.
Would be cool if that JSON file (or settings file) is environment based. So I can use test payment method settings on local and live settings on production. And just run a command like wp migrate options or something in my deployment script, which sets all the correct settings for that environment.
Is there something like that?
Thanks in advance :) | This is a tricky one since even if you might get it to work with Core with plugins you never know if they also store data in files, custom tables, post types and so in. If you then only sync the options table you might get inconsistent/partial/broken states. Also you probably don't want to sync everything since some things like transients are on the options table but aren't really settings.
This is a general problem with systems that store configuration in the database and even more so with WP since the data storage formats are somewhat fragile.
If you search the web or this site you'll see that there have been plenty of questions and attempts of approaching this. But there is no general best practice solution to it.

Does hooking into a plugin action / filter override the plugin's function for that hook?
I have a question about how actions and filters interact with functions:
I am currently using an event ticketing plugin for wordpress, there are built in validation rules that is already in the plugin (i.e. fields are all completed, number fields contain integers etc.). I want to write a function that 'extends' the existing plugin function. When I write my functions, does the existing plugin function for that hook still apply? Or would I have to copy over parts of that function I want to retain into my new one? Or does wordpress run both functions in some kind of sequence?
If I wanted to write a validation that is the opposite of what is currently in the plugin function (i.e. number fields should contain an alphabetical character) how does a custom function overwrite a part of an existing function? Would I have to remove those lines in the plugin file itself?
Thanks in advance. | It depends _entirely_ on the specific plugin and the specific hook. It's completely up to plugin developers what they want to allow other developers to do. They could allow developers to replace entire functions; to perform a custom action at the beginning, middle, or end of a function; to modify the result of a function; or none of the above. It's impossible to give a generic answer.
The only way to know what you can do is to consult the developer documentation for the plugin, which will tell you what you can do. If that doesn't exist, reading the actual code of the plugin and looking for hooks is all you can do. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How does a Genesis child theme understand that the Genesis theme is the parent theme?
In most Genesis child themes, the following line of code exists:
// Starts the engine.
require_once get_template_directory() . '/lib/init.php';
I understand that this includes the init.php file from the lib directory within the Genesis parent theme folder.
My question is simply - why does `get_template_directory()` return the Genesis parent folder, as opposed to the child theme folder? And how does it identify it if there are multiple parent themes possible? | I'm not experienced with Genesis, specifically, but I imagine its child themes work the same as child themes for any other theme. As documented, a child theme is created by adding a `Template:` line to the style.css header, which is the directory name of the parent theme:
/*
Theme Name: Genesis Child Theme
Template: genesis
*/
By defining the "Template" for a theme, WordPress functions like `get_template_directory()` know to use that theme's directory for the path or URL. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to convert srcset links from https to http?
After trying SSL and having some unfortunate problem with it, I decide to go back to HTTP. Everything seems find, by the `srcset` attribute of `<img>` tag is still https everywhere.
This post Wordpress: srcset gets HTTP instead of HTTPS in all posts asks for the opposite direction, but still provides me guides to diagnose. However:
1. In `wp-includes > media.php`, I can find the `wp_calculate_image_srcset` method, but unable to find these two lines:
$image_baseurl = _wp_upload_dir_baseurl();
$image_baseurl = trailingslashit( $image_baseurl ) . $dirname;
2. In `wp_options` table, both `home` and `siteurl` already have http values.
I also delete all cache. Still no help.
What else do I need to check? Here is my page: quảcầu.com. | @Ooker It's the Jetpack that is serving you the images on https. If you'd turn off the Photon add-on from Jetpack you should be able to get images served over http from your own server.
Also if you turn off Photon, images won't be served from CDN anymore, so you might have to figure that out. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to change background image
I am new to wordpress and although searched all over I cannot seem to find an answer for my question so any help would be appreciated:
I have the following code:
[vc_row row_type="parallax" content_width="grid" full_screen_section_height="yes" vertically_align_content_in_middle="yes" parallax_background_image="2407"]
I need to change the `parallax_background_image="2407"` to another file.
I have already uploaded the new file in the Media library but cannot find how to reflect the change.
I assume I have to edit some css code but have no idea where to find the relevant code.
FYI: there are several of those background images on the same page that I want to edit, if this is at all important.
Any ideas? | This code isn't coming from Core, so you should search down where the shortcode comes from - a theme or a plugin. My guess is that "2407" might be the Post ID of a particular image. If that is true, then you can go into your Media Library and find the Post ID of the image you want, and paste that in instead of the 2407. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Create Wordpress Multisite Instance Programmatically

How to merge two .PO language files?
I have a **.po** file that works with the theme and it contains **1259 characters** , and i translated many words in it.
That been said, after the theme was updated i found out that the new .po files contains **1898 (460 more characters)**.
So i would like to know if there is a safe and efficient way to merge these two files, that means keeping the integrity of manual translations i did + the new terms that were added by new version of the theme file.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to achieve this ? I'd appreciate it
Thank you in advance | Since **.po** files are full text, you could first compare the files to see if the differences between the files occur at a specific place (is the addition only located at the end?), are the same keys used for different values?, ... to ensure that no data is being lost.
To that purpose you could use: \- CLI tools such as diff or a program like Meld (which is based on diff) to get a visual aid when comparing the files. \- an IDE which provides file comparison possibilities (For example Atom with the add-on compare-files)
You could try to merge the files together automatically by using the following CLI tool msgmerge. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

problem with size of debug.log file
my debug.log file in wp-content size in above 4GB and have trouble with that. can I delete this file from the server? if delete debug.log file ، No problem with my site? Does everything correctly run in the server? | debug.log is exactly what it sounds - it’s just a file that contains log information for debugging purposes.
You can easily delete it and without any fear.
But...
1. Debugging should not be turned on on production site - it’s a security problem.
2. If your debug.log file is so big, then your site has many problems. This file contains PHP notices, warnings and errors. If everything works fine, then this file is almost empty.
So the smart thing to do is:
* download that file to your local machine,
* delete it from server
* check the content of that file and try to fix as much problems as you can
* disable logging or at least make that file inaccessible. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Scheduled post delete - can't pass the cron arguments
Thanks to everyone who takes a look. I've spent countless hours trying to make this work, but no matter what I tried it still doesn't work. Hopefully I'm missing something simple, but I'm stuck...
Here's my code on the submit page where I add a new page and a cron job to delete it in the future:
$seconds = time() + $_POST["days"] * 86400;
wp_schedule_single_event($seconds, 'crondelete', $new_post_id );
And here's the relevant code in functions.php:
add_action( 'crondelete', 'delete_page_in');
function delete_page_in($args) {
wp_delete_post($args);
}
The cron part is working properly: . | Comparing your code to the Wordpress function **wp_schedule_single_event**, it appears you failed to indicate that parameters would be passed.
Perhaps the following version of your code will work for you.
add_action( 'crondelete', 'delete_page_in',10,1);
wp_schedule_single_event($seconds, 'crondelete', array($new_post_id ));
Notice the add_action now includes two extra parameters: 10=Priority, and 1=Accepted Arguments to be passed. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Get a remote post ID via API given URL
**Given you have a URL, how can you get the post ID of a post on a remote WordPress site?**
As far as I can tell, you would have to:
HTTP GET /wp-json/v2/posts
And then look for your URL, but the problem is that this endpoint will only return 100 results by default.
I don't want to have to download the ENTIRE content of a site just to find the post ID of a given URL. In V1 you could submit a query, but I think that's been depreciated. Any better ways to do this? | The Posts endpoint accepts a `slug` parameter when querying for posts, so if you can get the slug from the URL, then you can make request to `/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?slug=<slug>`.
So if the URL is ` and you know the slug is `hello-world`, then for example in JavaScript, you can do something like:
fetch( ' )
.then( res => res.json() )
.then( posts => console.log( posts[0].id ) );
Or you could create a custom endpoint.. if you've got control over the WordPress site. See this for more details. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Return value of get_permalink(0) and get_the_title(0)
I'm new to wordpress and I'm following a tutorial right now but I don't understand wordpresses behaviour. I'm trying to change the title of a sidebar which lists the parentpage and it's childpages, this works fine but I don't understand why `$parentID = wp_get_post_parent_id(get_the_ID()); echo get_permalink($parentID);` works even on the parent page, I echoed the result on the parent page and it returns 0 since the parent page doesnt have a parent, so why does this still work? Why does `get_permalink(0)` get me to the parent page if I press the button on the parent page? It also gives me the Title even though it would be `get_the_title(0)` | If an ID is passed to `get_the_title()` or `get_permalink()`, they will use `get_post()` internally to get a copy of the full post object with that ID. But if `get_post()` is passed either nothing or a "falsy" value, like `0`, then it will return the current global `$post` object. In the context of your code this is _likely_ to be the current page.
So:
get_permalink( 0 );
Is equivalent to:
get_permalink( get_the_ID() );
Which is equivalent to:
get_permalink();
Because they are all referring to the current `global $post`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Shortcode conflicts
My plugin provide shortcodes like this:
`[cfgeo return="city"]` \- returns city name
`[cfgeo include="us"]Text only seen in the US country[/cfgeo]` \- returns this text only from the visitors in the US.
If I place shortcodes in the content like this:
<div>[cfgeo return="city"]</div>
<div>[cfgeo include="us"]Text only seen in the US country[/cfgeo]</div>
WordPress made error and parse it like this:
<div>[cfgeo return="city"]</div><div>[cfgeo include="us"]Text only seen in the US country[/cfgeo]<div>
That mean all between first chortcode and closed state of the shortcodes are parsed like one big shortcode.
[cfgeo return="city"]EVERYTHING INSIDE[/cfgeo]
And that made a error.
How and do I can avoid this? | When you define your shortcode, you might try one of a couple "if" statements to fix this issue, until you have time to create separate shortcodes.
function cfgeo_shortcode( $atts, $content = "" ) {
if (!isset($content) || stristr($content,'cfgeo')!==FALSE){
// do short shortcode stuff here
} else {
// do 'Container' shortcode stuff here
}
return $output;
}
add_shortcode( 'cfgeo', 'cfgeo_shortcode' );
I would also recommend ... when you create your replacement shortcodes, you should not only create separate codes, you should also avoid parameters with keywords like "return" and "include" for their respective names.
Good luck! Hope this was helpful. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Organizing uploaded Media in permalink-based folder structure?

Order Posts in Custom Order
I am trying to create a custom way to order my new custom post type.
Here is what I am envisioning:
* There would be a custom way to order posts in an entirely unique order for display (Number, automatic value, etc.) This would be so I could avoid needing to manually change a ton of publication dates on posts to get the right order.
* If there was no number/automatic value/etc. entered then it would display based on when it was published at the end of the list.
I am using CMB2 for the meta-data fields on my custom post type.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I realize that this is a complicated problem, but I want to be able to order posts in a custom order that is not by author, date published, or title. | With `register_post_type()`, you can specify the `'page-attributes' => true` property, and you'll get the "menu order" metabox which you see on pages. With this you can custom order your items, where the default is always 0, which means they will always show, even if you don't set a value.
You don't actually have to set the `page-attributes` attribute to use the the `menu_order` post property/column. You can set that value programmatically. To query with the custom ordering in place, you can use the `menu_order` property in your `WP_Query` args: < | stackexchange-wordpress | {
