Show comments menu in dashboard only if the site has comment
I would like to hide "Comments" menu in Dashboard until the site doesn't have any comments. I tried to do this with this below code, but doesn't works:

global $user_ID;
if ( 1 > wp_count_comments( get_the_ID() )->all ) {
remove_menu_page( 'edit-comments.php' );
}
}

How to subscribe free subscription on user registration in woocommerce subscription plugin?
I am using Woocommerce Subscription plugin. I have two types of Subscription plans right now.
1. Premium Subscription
2. Free Subscription
When any user registers on my site, I want every user to show default free subsciption subscribed to that account in beginning until it upgrades manually later. Is there any Hook which I can use?
I have tried checking in Plugin settings but I didn't find anywhere if I can set a subscription plan 'as default'. | The solution is to create an order, then create a subscription, link the order to the subscription using WooCommerce classes. Below is the link where I found my answer:

How to translate text in function.php with WPML
I added this function to add cash on delivery price and I want to translate the text (cash on delivery) using WPML plugin
add_action( 'woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees', 'custom_handling_fee', 10, 1 );
function custom_handling_fee ( $cart ) {
if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) )
return;
if ( 'cod' === WC()->session->get('chosen_payment_method') ) {
$fee = 10;
$cart->add_fee( 'Cash On Delivery', $fee, true );
}
} | It should suffice to add a `__()` around your translatable text:
add_action( 'woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees', 'custom_handling_fee', 10, 1 );
function custom_handling_fee ( $cart ) {
if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) )
return;
if ( 'cod' === WC()->session->get('chosen_payment_method') ) {
$fee = 10;
$cart->add_fee( __('Cash On Delivery'), $fee, true );
}
}
You can then scan your theme or plugin for strings in WPML: < and then use the WPML string translation. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress Automatic Plugin Update Renames Plugin Directory
So I have hooked the wordpress plugin auto updated to effectively redirect my plugin to autoupdate from my own site rather than wordpress.com.
The updating process works seemlessly aside from one wierd hitch - the wordpress updater downloads the `my_plugin.zip` file from my server, saves it in a temp directory as `my_plugin-3sd123.tmp` (where the random string is generated by the wp updater to avoid file conflicts) and unzips it to `wp-content/upgrades` which leaves a directory `my_plugin-3sd123` in updates and then it copies this directory to `plugins` and removes the old directory BUT never renames the new one to the old plugin slug.. Should I be writing my plugins to expect this? because I dont see it happening with other plugin updates? | It turns out the answer was simple I didnt have my plugins content in a subdirectory slug inside the zip file eg. I had :
my_plugin.zip
|- my_plugin.php
|- admin
|-admin.php
I should have had
my_plugin.zip
|-my_plugin
|-my-plugin.php
|-admin
|-admin.php
Once you add that sub directory the auto updated will work as expected | stackexchange-wordpress | {

hover image appears below placeholder instead of overlayed

My wordpress site was hacked - is my htaccess file compromised?
My Wordpress site (on a shared server) was compromised. It's full of spam links when I do a google site: check.
I removed a re-direct through cpanel so at least now the spam pages do not re-direct anymore. The re-direct had a name that was similar to a line in my htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^neabsmoiea.md$ "https\:\/\/post.ristourne.co\/Paket_ch\/" [R=301,L] ~
I assume this means the htaccess file was compromised as well? My site's name is in no way related to the words "neabsmoiea" or "ristourne" if that is relevant.
Naturally I changed all passwords, but I have no idea how to fix this. | Looks similar to a search redirect. You'll see the results when all of your search results go to someplace else.
Lots of ways for it to get in there. But, fix the htaccess. Get a standard one from WP here: <
Then, you should change all credentials: hosting, ftp, database, MySQL, and WP admin credentials. Look for unknown WP admin accounts (and extra FTP accounts). Check you wp-settings.php and wp-config.php. Look at the index file to ensure no extra code. Look at all files (via your hosting File Manager) to ensure no extra code. Look for hidden ICO files that contain code. Look at the wp-posts and wp-options tables for extra records that contain just numbers/characters.

Is it possible to publish multiple versions of a single post?
I'm assessing WordPress for a short story blog. The blog is to chart my journey as a writer. To this end, I'm looking to post a short story and then, perhaps months/years later, post a revision that (hopefully) will be better. When a reader views a short story post, they should see the latest version but then also have access to previous published versions.
Having done some searching, I have become aware of revisions. From what I understand, these are created via clicking 'Save as Draft' or Publishing. I've seen this question: How can we publish revisions of a post, in addition to showing the latest post?
I have two considerations:
1. It seems if I 'Save as Draft' too many times, I could push out previously Published versions?
2. Is there a way to identify just Published versions and show them only?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. | I would not recommend the Save as Draft approach as I don't believe it will help you accomplish your ultimate goal. WordPress is saving revisions in a non-public Post Type (more info here).
I found a "Changelog" plugin, which may help track changes to existing blog posts. You can see that here <
Finally, a stock WordPress approach may be the following:
Publish a blog post and create a unique tag. For example, if your blog post is called "Hello World," then name the tag `hello_world_revisions`. Then, when you are ready to revise the post, create a new post, and call it "Hello World." Tag it with the same `hello_world_revisions` tag, and that way, all of your revised blog posts are tagged the same, and you can direct your users to that tag when you want them to explore older versions.
There are also other ways to accomplish your goals, but they would require custom code and custom theming. The items noted above are a quick, non-programming way to get started. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

$slug = array_diff($slug,$keys_false);

How to show all taxonomies within custom post type loop

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?> | I'm answering the `<?php //echo tax names here ?>`:
1. In the loop, you can get the post terms using `wp_get_post_terms()`:
while ($articles->have_posts() ): $articles->the_post();
$terms = wp_get_post_terms( get_the_ID(), 'topic', [ 'fields' => 'names' ] );
2. Then you can do something like `echo implode( ' ', $terms );` inside the `<div>` tag:
<div class="masonry__item col-lg-3 col-md-6"
data-masonry-filter="<?php echo implode( ' ', $terms ); ?>">
But are you very sure you want to use the term _name_ and not _slug_?

Where can I find a single item template

`www.yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/your_child_theme/woocommerce/single-product.php`

`www.yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/your_child_theme/woocommerce/emails/admin-new-order.php` (just for example sake)

With a form I am saving the data to WordPress options, it's a big multidimensional array. The problem that I am facing is sometimes it misses a value in the array. I am not sure how to debug that as it works 80% of time. Can this be related as I am saving it as an array? | It depends, if you use the data, only as a whole. Lets say for configuration settings or something, then I would say, it's not a problem. But if you are doing queries on the data, like searching or fetching only 1 or 2 fields from that array.. you should use other solutions.
If you are missing some values from your array, are you sure these values are submitted from your form? (Are the fields not "disabled", or are these fields unchecked checkboxes?) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Write text below a specific part of a sentence

that is to place a bracket under a piece of text and then to write text below the said bracket. Is it possible to obtain such an effect using HTML and CSS?

Does wp post delete also delete metadata associated with posts?
say this:
wp post delete --force $(wp post list --post_type=product --format=ids)
I found out that it's far more fast and performant than deleting posts from admin.
But I was wandering: any differences between the cli and admin ways? For example, will that cli command also delete metadata associated with deleted posts? | In short, yes. However, if you run into an issue like custom fields or media hanging around, you could use:

Woo API REST : product variation price is read-only?

.then((response) => {
console.log(response.data);

{
"id": 733,

Wordpress 5: including larger thumbnail image sizes in srcset than I have set
I have set image sizes in my functions.php, such as
add_image_size( 'article-lede', 500, 600 );
It shows up in Regenerate Thumbnails, and I regenerated them. So I upload an image to the media library which is 934x1200.
My template code is set to use the "article-lede"image:
<?php the_post_thumbnail('artcle-lede', ['class' => 'featured-image img-fluid']);?>
But the page shows a full-size image. And the img tag in the resulting HTML has the height and width set to the large size, and an SRCSET of sizes, none being the article-lede size I specified:
<img src=" class="featured-image img-fluid wp-post-image" alt="" srcset=" 934w, 234w, 797w, 768w, 467w, 311w" sizes="(max-width: 934px) 100vw, 934px">
How I do get it to display the 500x600 version? | Good question as I know that this can be a pain in the butthole. Please see this page; <

Custom Post Type "MUST NOT" be able to search via URL
Hello good day everyone,
Guys any idea how to hide permalinks from custom post types and should not be able to access via url. By the way, Im using Pods framework for my CPT's
Example: www.example.com/this-is-a-custom-post-type
Any suggestions, recommendation will be appreaciated.
Thanks! | Welcome!
After creating a post type using pods, You can navigate to Advanced options and uncheck Public and Publicly Queryable.
Note: There are parameters like `exclude_from_search`, `publicly_queryable`, `show_ui`, and `show_in_nav_menus` that are inheriting value from `public`. You need to set them manually if you want to use them.

What is the latest WordPress that will work on PHP 5.2.17?
I have an old server that runs important PHP aplication that required PHP 5.2.17. What is the newest WordPress that I can install on it? | I think you're looking at this the wrong way.
Having an old application that requires such a archaic PHP version is bad enough. That does not mean, your new WordPress installation needs to use that same old version though. Instead, I would suggest to **keep PHP 5.2.17 for the legacy application and use the latest PHP version for WordPress**.
There are various ways to do this, it all depends on how exactly your server is set up.
* Check this answer from StackOverflow for an Apache way. It generally boils down to `AddHandler` and `SetHandler`.
* This answer from ServerFault explains how to solve it via NGINX. The main idea it seems is to access other ports via `fastcgi_pass`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Gutenberg: Restrict Top Level Blocks, But Not Child Blocks
# Background
I've created a custom top level "page section" block, to work with my existing theme. I've like to restrict top level blocks to ONLY that one block. However, I don't want to disable all blocks completely, because I want all blocks available to use as innerBlocks.
# Question
How can I restrict top level blocks, without restricting child level blocks? | The short answer is you can’t. But you can accomplish this by using a block template that only contains your block and is locked. If your block has an InnerBlocks instance, you can add any of the registered blocks to it.

function insert_template() {
$post_type_object = get_post_type_object( 'post' );

Product Tags in Add New product as checkbox list
Id like to use product tags as a second classification for products from the Add New Product menu, however the product tag option in its default state is not reliable.
Id like to customise it so that I could select from a complete list with checkboxes as is done with categories. The product tags populate one of my dropdown menus, so they need to be consistent, created in the Tag menu, much like Categories and not created on the fly, duplicated, or be similar to others, as is the case with Tags currently.

Can this be done? And is it the best option for achieving a second product classification from the product page. Im trying to avoid plugins. | That's only one way to achieve that, but it's the easiest, I guess.
The taxonomy UI is displayed as list of checkboxes, if given taxonomy is hierarchical.
So if you change the product tags to hierarchical, it will solve your problem.

$args['hierarchical'] = true;
return $args;

If you add a shortcode programmatically, but the code isn't viewed on that request, is it still executed?
Is it expected behavior that the callback of a shortcode is executed even if the result isn't returned, or do shortcodes only execute when they are displayed? | Shortcode callbacks are not executed unless the shortcode is parsed and executed. So if a shortcode has been added, its callback will not run unless the shortcode has been used somewhere on the page, or executed manually in a function or template that has been used, and it will only be run at the moment that the shortcode is parsed.

How to allow data:image attribute in src tag during post insert?
I'm inserting a post using `wp_post_insert()`. And my post's content looks like this:
<img src="data:image/png;base64, iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAN4AAAB6CA { ... }
but on the insert process, Wordpress `removes` the data attribute. So above code becomes this:
<img src="image/png;base64, iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAN4AAAB6CA { ... }
I've tried something like this but no luck:
function my_filter_allowed_html($allowed, $context){
if (is_array($context)) {
return $allowed;
}
if ($context === 'post') {
$allowed['img']['data'] = true;
$allowed['src']['data'] = true;
}
return $allowed;
}
add_filter('wp_kses_allowed_html', 'my_filter_allowed_html', 10, 2);
How can I avoid this? | Thanks to naththedeveloper from StackOverflow. His answer worked for me.
> Well, this was a nightmare to find, but I think I've resolved it after digging through the WordPress code which hooks in through `wp_insert_post`. Please add this to your `functions.php` file and check it works:
add_filter('kses_allowed_protocols', function ($protocols) {
$protocols[] = 'data';
return $protocols;
});
> Essentially internally in WordPress, there's a filter that checks the protocol of any URL's in the content and strips any which it doesn't like. By default, the supported list doesn't support the data protocol. The above function just adds it to the list of supported protocols.

Block search SQL from happening
I need to block some accesses to search _results_ not the whole page, just the results.
The problem is, I need the search SQL query to not happen AT ALL. (I can conditionaly hide the output loop template very easily, I'm just not sure SQL is not happening).
Where would I prevent such thing (I assume some filter/action hook I just could not find the right one)?
**EDIT:** Please note, that the page needs to be loaded and displayed, otherwise I would proceed with request blocking approach like `template_redirect` | It's possible to avoid SQL execution in `WP_Query` with the `posts_pre_query` filter.
It's e.g. used by plugins to outsource the default search to 3rd party search engines.
Here's an example how we can override the main search query on the front-end, with an empty posts array and avoid running the SQL search query:
add_filter( 'posts_pre_query', function( $posts, \WP_Query $query ){
if( $query->is_search() && $query->is_main_query() && ! is_admin() ) {
return array();
}
return $posts;
}, 10, 2 );
Since we're returning an empty array, I don't think we need to adjust the `$query->found_posts` or `$query->max_num_pages` as they are zero by default. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

On the .org repo, can your plugin name/slug contain "WooCommerce"
I know they won't let you call a plugin **WordPress-xxx** , but they will allow **WP-xxx**. What are the rules surrounding **WooCommerce**? | I'm posting this answer because the accepted answer is slightly misleading, as it implies that you cannot use the trademarked name at all. While not 100% wrong, it's also not 100% right.
It is correct that unless **you** are WooCommerce, you can't call your plugin "WooCommerce Cool Add-on". But you **_can_** call it "Cool Add-on for WooCommerce." See "Why can’t I use someone’s trademark/brand as my plugin name?"
Also, if you're submitting to the .org repo and you are concerned about making sure your naming convention is correct/acceptable/valid, just submit it the way you interpret the rules. If it's unacceptable, _they **will** tell you_ and then you adjust it to be approved.

How to import posts correctly?
There are 2 tasks, there is a site X on which there are 1,500 posts, each entry has a title, a thumbnail and 3 metadata. You need to export these entries to other sites. Those. first you need to write a microapi that will generate json for example, and on the side of other sites (where you need to parse these same entries) a plugin that will receive the same json in the url and create entries. The option of exporting xml and importing to other sites is not suitable, you just need to make a script. I made json generation, it remains to do import of records on the basis of json. The main question is how to make imports. so that it works stably, because running **foreach** from 1500 **wp_insert_post** is not a good option, right? Please tell me in which direction to look at the implementation of such a task.
Thanks! | You could always give it a try, i've imported around 300 posts at the same time before so, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. You could try the following methods if you have problems with importing them all at once.
* Try re-defining WP_MEMORY_LIMIT and increase it to i.e. 1024MB
* Try increasing the max_execution_time (Check this link for more information)
* Try to split/chunk the array in a few different arrays and add a `usleep` after every iteration
Please note that within the `foreach` `$id = wp_insert_post()` will set `$id` to the `ID` of the Post/Page that is being added. If desired you can use this variable to add i.e. meta_values, thumbnails, etc.

create bootstrap columns inside editor group block
According to this answer I'm trying to use the new default block editor of wordpress to set the bootstrap classes on the content of the blocks. I'm using the group block to set the container and another group block to set the row that are required from the grid of bootstrap. My question is how I can set the columns inside the second block group that will contain the columns?

Thanks for the help.
![enter image description here]( | Inside your `.row` container choose a "Columns Block" instead of a paragraph block. Each column can be assigned the desired bootstrap CSS class. It will look like this:
<div class="wp-block-group container">

<div class="wp-block-group row">

This is my first time using a js file. It controls the hover and display of images in a php menu file. They are both in the root directory. I have not referenced the file in the menu.php file at all as I have only learnt of this now, and yet somehow it works.
Do js files just load automatically all the time? | WordPress has no mechanism to load custom js files automatically. If your theme need that js file, then place it inside your theme folder. and link it in your template file. for example,
<script src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/assets/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
In the above example, "bootstrap.min.js" file is located in my theme's "assets" folder. the function get_template_directory_uri() return the url to your theme folder. In this way you can link your custom js files to your template file.
> ... and yet somehow it works."
As per my experience, this doesn't mean WordPress loading your js file, as @Kaperto said, Wordpress uses a lot of JavaScript libraries by default. Coincidently your expected js file is one of them. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Bulk edit existing shortcode within custom field
I have a very similar question to this: Custom Fields Bulk Edit
I would like to edit ALL of the data inside a custom field but instead of replacing values I would like to instead add an attribute to the custom field on each page. Example:
This is an existing shortcode `[idx-listings linkid="387056" count="6"]` I now want to add an attribute to look like this: `[idx-listings linkid="387056" count="6" showlargerphotos="true"]` Is there a way of bulk apending the `showlargerphotos` attribute inside the existing shortcode without affecting the rest of the string?
Here is the custom field in the `wp_postmeta` table ![enter image description here]( | In phpMyAdmin:
update wp_postmeta set meta_value =
replace(meta_value,'[idx-listings','[idx-listings showlargerphotos="true"');
As long as you've always typed the shortcode starting with `[idx-listings` and not, say, `[ idx-listings`, this will add your new attribute everywhere the shortcode has been used. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a simpler version of WP Media?
I'm developing a plugin where users need to be able to upload an image (a payment receipt) to a custom user field. At the time, I'm using a code I found here Extra User Profile Field Upload File / Image and it is working. The problem is I don't want WP Media to show a lot of things, I just want the user to be able to upload a single image without seeing private site information or media and without being able to create something like a gallery.
Please, answer if you have any idea about how doing it. Thank you! | You can use ACF to do this.
1. Set up your custom field for the user profile.
2. Use the acf_form() to produce a form containing the field on your front end for the user to interact with.
3. Customise your acf_form() arguments to use a "simple" uploader (this will not expose WP Media Library to users then)
Example:
$field_arguments = array(
'post_id' => 'user_'.$current_user->ID,
'field_groups' => array(111), // Replace with ACF Group you created
'form' => true,
'uploader' => 'basic', // This is what hides the WP Media Library to the user
'submit_value' => 'Submit'

Prevent update check for specific theme
I'm working on a custom theme that lives in `/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/custom/`. It's for internal use, so it doesn't matter if there's a theme with the same name on the wordpress site.
But wordpress performs an update check, finds a theme with the same name, which has a newer version number, and so asks me to upgrade.
Is there a way to suppress this behavior without renaming my theme and without fiddling with version numbers? I don't want the check to be performed at all.
(BTW `define('AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true)` doesn't help.) | Yes, you can disable auto update by adding this line of code in your wp-config.php file:
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );

Create role that can edit some user details, but not the role
I want to create custom role ('sales') that can edit user profiles of 'subscribers' but can not change the role of that user.
The user details that would be editable by the 'sales' role would be resetting password and interacting with some custom user-meta fields.
Is it possible to edit capabilities at that level of granularity? | I am not sure if there is something native. However you could get really hacky if you wanted to if no other option.
You could create a css class to be inserted based on the current user role that is logged in. Then target that role (being sales for example) and hide that form field.
You could use something like this:
function sales_role_admin_body_class( $classes ) {
global $current_user;
foreach( $current_user->roles as $role )
$classes .= ' role-' . $role;
return trim( $classes );
}
add_filter( 'admin_body_class', 'sales_role_admin_body_class' );
Then you could target it something like this in your css:
.role-sales #form_field_id_you_want_to_hide{
display: none !important;
}

Template for landing pages
I'm using WP for a business site (not a blog) with landing pages. So there are no posts, only pages (actually, "landing pages") which I create with the Elementor page builder.
Since a typical theme has lots of unnecessary stuff for a landing page business site, I decided to create a lightweiht custom theme. I have a `header.php`, `footer.php` and basic css/js enqueued via `functions.php`. I want to create each page's content using a page builder.
I don't know what to put in `index.php`. This is something typical:
<?php get_header(); ?>
// ....the wp loop goes here
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Of course in my case there is no loop - but that is where the main content goes. When I create a new page with Elementor (or other page builder, or Gutenberg), I want my custom per-page content to go in there, where the loop usually goes.
What markup do I place there, so the page builder knows where to insert each page's content? | in your theme folder. create a new php file.
For example call it: landingpage.php
in the php file you could have something as basic as:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Landing Page
*/
get_header();
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
get_footer();
?>
Elementor will be called / inserted where it says the_content();
Included out of the box with elementor you should have a blank elementor template to choose from and using the built in elementor theme builder options create exactly what you are after also choosing conditions of when that page template gets used? | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Updating Existed RocketTheme Theme on Wordpress

Thanks. | You can click update by going to themes or dashboard > update. Changes made using the theme-options or customizer will stay intact after the update but if you have modified the theme core files or added additional codes to theme files then you will lose them with the update. In that case, the solution will be to create a child theme and move the custom code added by you to the child theme.
You can create the child theme using a plugin or manually create one. There are many plugins available. Note creating the child theme at this stage does not move your custom code automatically to the child theme.

'post__in' => $post_id_array,
'posts_per_page' => $number,
'orderby' => 'rand'

$index['post_tag'] = implode(' ', $data);
return $index;
}, 3, 2);
The problem is I see this new search cluster 'post_tag' in the list, but all data there is empty. What did I do wrong? | You're using `get_the_tags()` incorrectly. It **does not** return an array of tag _names_. It returns an array of tag **objects**. Each tag object does contain the tag's name (along with other data), but you can't use `implode()` on that result.
I used your original code just adding a step to put the tag object's name into an array. Then your code picks up with the implode from there.
add_filter('wpfts_index_post', function($index, $post)
{
global $wpdb;
$data = get_the_tags($post->ID);
$tag_array = array();
foreach( $data as $tag_object ) {
$tag_array[] = $tag_object->name;
}
$index['post_tag'] = implode(' ', $tag_array);

How to move top widget to the left - Responsive Theme WordPress
I have WordPress, responsive theme and whenever I upload a **top widget** , it stays a bit to the left from the header. How can I move the top widget to go close to the header image as in the picture?
![](
The header image is simply an image and the top widget image is a Google content matched ad. | Add this CSS to your theme's CSS:
#top-widget {
float: left;
}
If that fails you may try this:
#top-widget {
float: left !important;
}
Once you add your CSS ensure that you have cleared your cache. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to add no follow to specific links?
I have some cloaking affiliate links to which I would like to add the attributes of **nofollow**.
However, I'm looking for a way in coding that will allow me to target links that contain specific string, like **/go/brand**.
While searching, I found this code somewhere, but it didn't work for me in functions.php, so I was hoping someone might provide me with something that may do the job for me.
Thank you so much in advance!
add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_string_replacements');
function my_string_replacements ( $content ) {
if ( ! is_admin() && is_main_query() ) {
return preg_replace('/<a(.*href=".*\/go\/pluto\/?".*)>/', '<a$1 rel="nofollow">', $content );
}
return $content;
} | The replace code is replacing the whole a element content with `<a rel="nofollow">`. Here's the correction:
I used `(.+?)` between `<a and href"` and before and after `/go/pluto/` to the closing `>`. Then in the replace, we put `$1 $2 $3` etc. to keep them and add `rel="nofollow"`. You can check in this test, and here's explanation about the replace.
return preg_replace('/<a(.+?)href="(.+?)\/go\/pluto\/(.+?)"(.+?)>/', '<a$1href="$2/go/pluto/$3" rel="nofollow"$4>', $content );
**Edit:**
Considering there are links that contains rel attribute already, we will run regex that searches for links that does have rel but doesn't contain nofollow and add nofollow:
return preg_replace('/<a(.+?)href="(.+?)\/go\/pluto\/(.+?)"(.+?)rel="((?!nofollow).)*(?=")/', '$0 nofollow', $content);
I'm still figuring out the appropriate code to insert rel if the a element doesn't contain it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to nest a list inside a blockquote using the Gutenberg block-editor?
WordPress Gutenberg block-editor don't allow to paste an HTML list inside a blockquote. It transforms it arbitrarily in a series of `<p>` tags, which is not semantically what I want.

Prevent third party plugin's admin page access based on user type
Am using a third party plugin(eg. ABC Plugin). And their code doesn't have any hooks or filters. And they don't provide customization based on our requirements.
So if I modify the plugin code, I would have to duplicate the changes each time when an update is available for that plugin.
Hence I decided to create a plugin, that will work along with the other plugin, and make the necessary modifications.
Right now, I want to limit the access to a specific url of the plugin page (in admin panel), only to a specific user type. And the url is like `
Am thinking to use the `admin_init` hook to check whether the current requested url is the above, by simply doing `if( $_GET['page']=='abcplugin') && $_GET['route_name']=='customers__index')`

Show template part if part of term

Cannon see subcategory in permalink
There are a lot of articles (old one, though because I use new WordPress 5.3.1) about how to include category and subcategory in WordPress URLs. I followed those articles (pretty much are the same), but something is wrong.
I checked Settings > Permalinks > Custom Structure and added `/%category%/%postname%/`, and all I can see is parent category, not child category.
It's the same issue whatever template I use, so I guess template is not a problem.
What is wrong? | Good question.
WordPress determines the permalink by finding the category closest to the root.
* If the parent category is selected (or if both the parent category and the child category are selected), then the permalink will only include the parent category.
* If only the child category is selected, then the permalink will include the parent category followed by the child category.
So, for your case, be sure to select only the child category. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Filter posts in pre_get_posts order by meta value date (desc or asc)
I am trying to order the post by a meta value but it is not working the right way.
I store the date in the post meta value like this `01 December 2019 10:00`. Now I want to sort the posts `desc` or `asc` like the `date`.

$orderby = $query->get( 'orderby' );
$sorting = $query->get( 'order' );
if ('month' == $orderby ) {
$query->set( 'meta_key', 'preferred_date' );
$query->set( 'orderby', 'meta_value');
$query->set( 'order', $sorting );
}
I use the code in the action `pre_get_posts`.

Execute a piece of code also when the cached version of a page is served
How can I be sure that a piece of code is executed also for the cached page of the website? | You call it asynchronously via the REST API.
In a best case scenario, you want the entire HTML of a page cached (full page cache). Executing PHP inside that is not easily possible and that's exactly the idea behind it
So what you want is some JavaScript that talks to the REST API. The JavaScript code (your " **logic** ") must be written in a way that it does not need to change, so it can be embedded within the cached HTML. Your **data** that comes from the endpoint can change, because the endpoint is not cached in the same way as a site is. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Does the debug.log do log rotation?
This is more like of an inquiry.
So I enabled my WP_DEBUG_LOG to true.
It does work though, debug.log is in my wp-content's directory.
But does it also do log rotation like different file for each day?
Example:
Today's file - debug.log
Yesterday's - 2019-12-18-101010-debug.log
Does it work like this? Or just debug.log all through out? | No, it creates only one file. There is no log rotation involved.
But... Sometimes “but” can be a good thing ;)
WP uses error_log for its debug log, so you can change its location using:
ini_set( 'error_log', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/debug-' . date('Y-m-d') . '.log' ); | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to integrate JSS to WordPress
WordPress is all about PHP and JSS is... Js. And I want to use JSS but I got trouble in interacting between generated HTML by PHP and CSS from JSS. Like in the official example (< JSS generate a version of CSS classes. This means I cannot set fixed classes in WordPress. What should I do? | JSS is designed for dynamically generated HTML rendered by JS. It's purpose is to generate unique identifiers for class names to prevent collisions in naming.
If you want to have static CSS generated it's easier to look at LESS\SASS\SCSS and build them with gulp, or with Less straight(<
**Here's heavily modified example which does what you might want**. <
All is done using `jss-plugin-global`
Compare it to initial code in how CSS rules are defined with `@global` to make them rendered without enhancing class names with dynamic parts.
Also look at < docs and nested plugin docs < as it's useful.
And probably you'll find it useful to use JSS-CLI < So with JSS CLI you'll be able to complile JSS into static CSS and serve it via `wp_enqueue_style()` as normal css file.
Or you can build your JS with JSS file from ES6 syntax with webpack+babel and then use `wp_enqueue_script()` and your built JS will compile inner JSS and inject into page just like in example. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Index of row in WP_List_Table
In `WP_List_Table`, the method `column_$custom( $item )`, if implemented, is called once for each row of data that is being displayed in the list table. So, if my list table has three rows of data, then the method `column_$custom( $item )` will be called three times, once for each row
In addition to displaying the data, I need to know the "row index" of the data being displayed. In the above example, I like to extract `0` because it is the first row, `1` for the second, and `2` for the third. Is there a way of knowing the row index? | That should be possible, but it looks pretty complicated. As you have undoubtedly seen, the `display_rows` method just passes a single line and there's no counter. This means that the row number must be in the `$item` variable for you to extract it. Since it is not there natively, you must insert it before you start displaying the table.
Luckily, there is a method expressly designed to do this, `prepare_items`. This is an abstract class, meaning it must be filled in by child classes that use this class. Take, for instance, a look at the way it is implemented in `WP_Posts_List_Table`.
So what you'll have to is override the existing `prepare_items` of the child class you are working with, and loop through the rows to add a new property `$row_count` to each one of them. Then, when you implement column_$custom( $item ) you can extract `$row_count`.

Setting color of specific menu items depending on page or post tag

if( 'tag' === $item->object ){
array_push( $classes, 'unwatched' );
}
return $classes;
} | OK, got it :-)
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_objects', 'add_nav_menu_item_class' );
function add_nav_menu_item_class( $items ) {
foreach ( $items as $item ) {
$post_id = get_post_meta( $item->ID, '_menu_item_object_id', true );
$post_tags = get_the_tags( $post_id );
if ( $post_tags ) {
foreach( $post_tags as $tag ) {
if ( $tag->name == 'unwatched' ) {
$item->classes[] = 'unwatched';
}
}
}
}
return $items;

how to redirect 301 my old search query string to wordpress search query string?
How to redirect 301:
/cgi-bin/mt/mt-search.cgi?search=WORDS
to

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^search=([^&]*)
RewriteRule ^cgi-bin/mt/mt-search\.cgi$ /?s=%1 [R=301,L]
`%1` in the `RewriteRule` _substitution_ is a backreference to the captured group in the preceding _CondPattern_ (ie. the value of the _search_ URL parameter - "WORDS").
Clear your browser cache before testing.
It is preferable to first test with a 302 (temporary) redirect to avoid caching issues.

How can I figure out where memory is being used?
I've got a WordPress site that's using too much memory, and I'm having problems with it on my shared hosting site.
So, to try to figure out where it's coming from without wrecking my live site, I cloned the site and installed into a local VM, where I deleted all plugins except Query Monitor.
That clone is still using 157M of memory with no other plugins installed.
On the other hand, I've got a fresh WordPress install that I installed Query Monitor into, and it's using only 4M of memory.
So clearly, there's something in my clone that's burning memory. It's not the plugins -- they're gone. It's not the theme -- I switched it to the same theme as the fresh install (stock 2017 theme).
I've looked through the output from Query Monitor, and I can't see a difference of substance.
What can I look for to try to figure out why my clone is consuming so much memory? | I found it: it was a massive set of WordPress cron jobs that I had inadvertently accumulated. The technique I used was to keep removing things from the database in the clone that weren't in the blank install, watching the memory in query monitor to see what dropped it. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
