Is there a way to dynamically get to your uploads folder?
I have a locally hosted site that uses bootstrap to create a carousel with pictures from the upload folder. I currently have the bootstrap markup using the source of the pictures, but I fear when I load the site to a live server those links are not going to work anymore?
Is there a dynamic way to get to the upload folder, maybe with the use of an inbuilt WordPress function, so that the path to the pictures that are used in the carousel always work? | Take a look at `wp_upload_dir` here <

How to add a link to an external website in the description of a customizer control (with Kirki)?
I'm building a Wordpress theme and I use the Kirki Customizer framework to add controls and settings to the customiser. I added a description to some controls, using the following code:
'description' => esc_html__( 'Description here', 'kirki' ),
Now I want to add a link in the description to an external website. I already tried inserting HTML, but that doesn't work; it just did just output the flat HTML code. It probably has sth to do with the esc_html__() thing, but I already searched on the internet and couldn't find a solution for this. Please enlighten me if you have a solution! Thanks a lot ;) | `esc_html__` is a translation API, specifically it's equivalent to this:
$var = esc_html( __( ... ) );
_Note that`__(` is not a language construct, it's a WordPress function._
Your problem is that `esc_html` escapes your HTML so that its safe to render as text. Swap it for `wp_kses_post`, and remove the `__` function, you don't want html inside translation strings
* * *
A sidenote: Frameworks are useful, but they have disadvantages, in order to get help you now need to have the luck of coming across somebody else already familiar with the kirki customizer framework, which I've never heard of. General customizer knowledge is of little to no help, severely limiting your ability to research solutions and get the help of others.

Child theme style.css versioning
I've been breaking my head on this one. I have a child theme and made changes to the `style.css` document. These changes did not show up in the reload of the page because there is no mention of version in the stylesheet declaration of this file.
I have found out that `style.css` is loaded as a foundation of the theme and that the version number in the header of `style.css` is supposed to show up, but it doesn't. I've tried the deregister, dequeue and requeue options that I found online, but still no go.
I have made a work around by queueing another css file for which I have added versioning based on the modification date of the file, but I am curious if others have seen this issue and have a proper solution. | Call me silly, but just found a way of getting it enqueued without having it as duplicate. @cjbj, I do really appreciate your help!
If you enqueue it in the child theme's `function.php` file (at the end of the stylesheets enqueued in there for priority sake) and make sure you use the exact same handle as the theme is registering it with (look it up in the source code of the page, but without the `-css` at the end), then WP will see it as already registered by the time the theme is trying its standard registration and ignore that. Using `filemtime()` for versioning works perfectly:
`wp_enqueue_style( 'theme stylesheet specific handle', get_stylesheet_uri(), array(), filemtime(get_stylesheet_directory() . "/style.css" ) );` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Script to generate pages - taxonomies not loaded
I've created a basic script in my wordpress root folder as a temporary file to generate a batch of new posts.
I've included the line:
require_once("wp-load.php");
As I've done in the past.
I'm encountering problems that certain taxonomies are not seemingly available in this PHP script when calling e.g.
$productterms = get_terms( array( 'taxonomy' => 'product-type', 'parent' => 0 ) );
I get a response of invalid-taxonomy.
The taxonomy name is definitely correct and this call to retrieve the terms works in functions.php.
I suspect I have a load order issue - but can anyone suggest how to work around this? Essentially I just need to have a PHP script that will allow me to loop through an array I've compiled to create pages based on that data - but I need the various taxonomies loaded/available to use. | Probably just use the taxonomy call within wordpress action callback function.

How to override include_once pointed file using add_filter?
I want to customize a plugin which uses a file called html-vendor-order-page.php to define the style of contents:
include_once( apply_filters( 'wcpv_vendor_order_page_template', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/views/html-vendor-order-page.php' ) );
I want to create my own html-vendor-order-page.php by modifying this file and force the plugin to use this file instead by using add_filter.
I was thinking to filter `__FILE__` which is a defined constant to point to my file.
Is that possible? | You can't just filter `__FILE__`. Or any arbitrary function or variable. You can only filter values that are passed to `apply_filters()`. In this case the `wcpv_vendor_order_page_template` filterable value is:
dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/views/html-vendor-order-page.php'
In other words, it's a path to a PHP file. If you want to change the PHP file that's loaded, you can filter `wcpv_vendor_order_page_template` to pass the path to a file in your theme.
So if you create a version of this file in `wp-content/{yourtheme}/wcpv//views/html-vendor-order-page.php`, you can make the plugin load that version like this:
add_filter(
'wcpv_vendor_order_page_template',
function( $path ) {
return get_theme_file_path( 'wcpv//views/html-vendor-order-page.php' );
}

SQL query to change custom field in Wordpress database

Thanks. | `get_post_format()` returns the post format slug for either the current post, when used inside a loop, or a given post, when a `WP_Post` object or an integer post ID is passed to it as a parameter.
So, if you're using the function in a posts loop, then you can use it like this,

the_post();

echo 'Gallery';
} else {

add_filter( 'hook_name' , array( 'wphpc_PAnD', 'someMethod' ) );
// or

how to handle multiple ajax wordpress queries?
I am having a problem with two ajax action. I have a post grid it has a frontend sorting "ASC" and "DESC". So if I click on "DESC" it changes the WordPress query arg "order by" to "DESC". It works.
But I have load more button which is also ajax. It also works but it does not consider the above case it query args remain the same as initial. So if I click the DESC button and click load more it loads the second page without DESC into consideration.
Any possible workaround? | If you have a form you should have a sort field in it, so that you can send your order value on form submit. This way you can send the sorting parameter to your backend callback function. If you don't have a form you shoud add this parameter to another element with a data attribute like that:
<button id="load-more" data-order="DESC">Load More</button>
And then in your javascript code add this value to the ajax call parameters.
Remember that you should change this parameter when you call ajax for sorting. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to make 2/3 width column in Gutenberg
I created a 2 column layout block, gave the columns block a CSS class of `.first-col-2-3`

.first-col-2-3 > div:nth-child(1) {background:red;width:67%!important;}
.first-col-2-3:nth-child(2) {width:33%!important;}
The result is that the columns stay 50% / 50% width.
But the first one does get a red background.

Return true if parent page id matches
I'm trying to write a function (with little luck) that does a simple check against the top level parent page and returns true if the ID matches a supplied ID number.
For example; If I'm on page Firefly>Kaylee>Outfits, I will supply my function the ID of the page Firefly (perhaps '29'). The function would return True.
If I'm on the page Fringe>Josh>Outfits the same function call would return False because the top level parent (Fringe) does not have the ID of 29.
I have seen examples on here that could do this with the direct parent, but they don't work if the page the function is being called from is more than one level deep.

Text symbols in the navigation menu
Just faced the following issue. The problem is when I paste the font-awesome code in my navigation menu point I see the text `<i class="fa fa-shopping-cart" aria-hidden="true"></i>` (screenshot attached) instead of icon.
![enter image description here](
And I am faced with such a problem for the first time - I never faced this issue on all my previous websites. FontAwesome is successfully integrated - I can see all icons inside my website content.
I tried to:
* deactivated my custom theme and activated WP default themes
* deactivated all my plugins
* cleaned cache etc
* checked my .htaccess file
But unfortunately nothing helped. | WP nav menus don't allow you to paste in HTML directly.
**Option 1**
Instead, you could create a "Cart" menu item, and use CSS to move the text off the visible page (so screen readers still read it, but sighted visitors don't see it) and add the icon with an :after. (You can add a custom CSS class to the menu item in wp-admin, and use that to identify which link gets the :after and the text moved.)
**Option 2**
Or, you could use a custom nav walker, which could check if the current menu item links to the cart, and if so, adds the HTML markup you were originally trying to add.
**Option 3**
You could use `wp_get_nav_menu_items()` (see the Code Reference) to get the items, then use your own custom function to add the HTML markup you were originally trying to add. This might be simpler than the custom walker. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Woocommerce pagination problem- page/2 = 404 solution
this is not much of a question than a solution to a problem that i couldnt find.
Problem: On category archive made with custom query i could not get /page/2 to work ( always 404 ).
Tried every possible solution in the book, and finally i reverted back to the original query, there i wanted to change posts per page for this query to check if the problem is caused by my custom query. It appears that woocommerce changes posts per page with Apperance > Customize panel and dosn't use the Settings > Reading page. When you set there the number of items per row * number of rows to match your custom query demand all starts to work fine. Too bad that woocommerce had to make it so weird ( i kinda see the point why it is that way, just its very confusing) :D
Anyways i hope this helped someone, i wasted a healthy 2-3 hours on searching for solution.

function wpse_356175_assets() {

Utilise `wp_dequeue_style` and or `wp_deregister_style` depending on how the stylesheet was registered/enqueued.

`add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse_356175_assets', 100 );`

Why does a published post only displays the title and not the content in the site?
I published a post last January 3 and it went out fine. Now, I published a post again but the site only displays the title and not the content. This is the first time that this happened to me. Do you have any idea why this happened?
I don’t use any plugins and I use a free theme. | ### Your content is there BUT hidden from view via CSS styles.
_Normally wouldn't provide an answer for this, but it may be helpful to others as it is not uncommong._
This is usually due to CSS styles in external stylesheets, inlined in your `<head>` in of the html document (template header) OR more commonly as inline styles on your content which contain elements such as `<div>`, `<span>` and `<p>` (among) others wrapped around various pieces of your content.
In your case it is `<span>` tags
See below:
![enter image description here](
### Solutions
If you are using the default WordPress content editor:
* switch to the Text tab instead of the Visual tab and remove the span tags OR at least the `display:none` property.
If you are using something else like a page builder:
* the process should be similar but you may need to consult their documentation

Omit image captions from get_the_content()

Most efficient way to use classes to create admin pages using Settings API
I've built a class which creates admin pages with the Settings API. I'm trying to optimize it to run only where I need it.
Most of the examples and tutorials I've seen say to instantiate it from the main plugin file. E.g., `new MyPluginNameClass();` from `my-plugin-name.php.` That's how OptionTree and WPPB do it.
But doing it this way creates the class on every page load. The plugin I'm working on is strictly backend.
Now, I can wrap my `new MyPluginNameClass()` call in an `is_admin()` conditional to keep it from running on the frontend. But my conditional would still run on every page view, it just exits very quickly on frontend pages.
It just feels wrong to run code on every page when I don't need to. Is there an admin-only hook that I should tie my class instantiation to? Or am I just overthinking this by trying to optimize to save nanoseconds? | The example in Settings API documentation uses `admin_init` and `admin_menu` for registering custom settings and admin pages. <
There's also an old Codex entry on actions typically run on front and back end requests, which can help pick a suitable action hook. <

What's the correct way to add capabilites to user roles?
A third-party plugin adds the capability 'edit_booked_appointments'. I'd like to assign this capability to the already existing user role 'editor'. I created the following function in my child theme:
function add_booking_role_to_editor() {
$role = get_role( 'editor' );
$role->add_cap( 'edit_booked_appointments', true );
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_booking_role_to_editor');
As far as I understand the whole topic, user roles get written to the database so there is no need to hook this function into the 'init' action. What would be the correct way to do this? Is there a way to fire this once, after the corresponding plugin has been activated? I tried it with the action 'plugins_loaded' but that did not work at all. | The best place to add this would be in the plugin's activation hook. You can either call the dynamic activate_{$plugin} hook, or better yet use the provided register_activation_hook method.
Using your code example above - something like this would be what you're looking for:
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, function() {
$role = get_role( 'editor' );
$role->add_cap( 'edit_booked_appointments', true );
} );
It's also important to clean up after your plugin deactivates by registering a deactivation hook to clean up any DB changes you've made:
register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, function() {
$role = get_role( 'editor' );
$role->remove_cap( 'edit_booked_appointments', true );
} );
Note: These code examples are being used in the main plugin file. If you're using it outside of that context, you'll need to provide the main plugin file instead of the magic `__FILE__`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I prevent WordPress from doing that? | It is more likely theme is adding numbers rather than Wordpress.
Find out the css style associated with the numbering and set its display value to none. If you are using a browser based on Google Chrome you can highlight the article numbers, right click and select _Inspect_.
Then, under the Appearance | Customize menu item in your admin dashboard click "Additional CSS". Add the css style you wont to override, for example; if your style is _article_id_number_ do the following.
.article_id_number {display:none;}
Save the changes and reload your page. The number should be gone. This trick works for anything you don't want displayed, similarly you can override your theme css for any other elements.
_Note: If the id number and the article title share the same css style the above wont work for you. In which case contact your theme developer and they might include an option to remove the numbers._

Custom order revolution sliders post base slides as inserted in Specific Posts List field
My homepage shows about 10-20 post that are manually selected in a slide. I have used Revolution slider. There is a field `Specific Posts List field` Where I have inserted post Ids `16427,16557,16822,16392,16507` and I want to show them as I have inserted on the field.
I found this Helpful in understanding but I don't want to insert a "order" custom field if possible. Another link made me understand what other option I have however don't understand `post__in` and `menu_order`.

What Capability is required to let a role RUN code in Edit Theme?
I am outsourcing some work and they are using the Theme Editor to add PHP to my site.
For example, this bit of code < is something that I have put into my theme - to invoke it you need to use the querystring <
This works fine when logged in as Admin role, however I made a custom Role called "TempCode" that has the Capability EditTheme which lets that user edit the theme fucntions.php file.
However, when they try to run it with < when logged in as NON admin it just redirects to the home page.
So there's some permissions handler that is check if they have rights to execute that added PHP code - what is the Capability that I need to add to the role to allow them to run it? | WordPress does not have the ability to prevent code from running based on who added it. That's not the problem. The problem is far simpler: the code they added is specifically written to not work for anyone but administrators:
if ( empty( $_GET['geolocate_listings'] ) || ! current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
return;
}
You can change `'administrator'` to any capability that you want to control who can trigger this code. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Where does "rel=0" get removed from my YouTube parameters?

I have been using the following string in the WordPress editor for a couple of years and it has worked until a day or two ago.
Yes, many places inside WordPress "help" in converting that string to what some developer assumes I want, and removes the "rel=0" parameter. Today's result is an iframe like this:

What is the use case for sharing a term between multiple taxonomies?
The `WP_Term::get_instance()` method, used by `get_term()` and presumably other core API functions, accepts an optional `$taxonomy` arg that is "only used for disambiguating potentially shared terms."
What is the use case for sharing terms like this? Is it possible to share a term between taxonomies with base WordPress functionality alone, without implementing custom hooks? | The helpful folks on WordPress IRC pointed me to this article, which answered my question:
<
> In WordPress 4.2, shared taxonomy terms – those items in the wp_terms table that are shared between multiple taxonomies – will be split into separate terms when one of the shared terms is updated. This change (31418) fixes one of WordPress’s most irksome bugs, and is a critical step in our ongoing taxonomy roadmap.
Furthermore:
> The vast majority of terms are not shared between taxonomies; shared terms themselves are an odd edge case.

Site downloads files instead of loading them

Interrupting $html.= ' for IF statement
Hi Stack Exchange Community,
I'm looking to understand how to insert an IF statement inside the code below:
$html.= '<span class="cat">In <a href="'. $typeLink . '">' . $terms_string . '</a></span>';
Essentially, I would like to insert a glyph just before the hyperlink that changes based on the value of $terms_string (using IF and ELSEIF). I thought the line below might be close to what I need, but I'm unsure if I'm accurately switching between PHP and HTML (definitely user error, but is it a syntax error?).
$html.= '<span class="cat">In '. if($terms_string === "Articles") { glyph HTML code }; .' <a href="'. $typeLink . '">' . $terms_string . '</a></span>';
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. | This is more general PHP than anything WordPress specific.
String concatenation occurs whenever you combining two stings with the `.` operator. During string concatenation some basic PHP keywords will not apply and you'll need to use the shorthand equivalent instead. In this case you can use the ternary (conditional) operator
$html.= '<span class="cat">In '. ( $terms_string === "Articles" ) ? 'glyph HTML code' : '' .' <a href="'. $typeLink . '">' . $terms_string . '</a></span>';
A better, more readable format may be breaking up the HTML output into multiple strings:
$html.= '<span class="cat">In ';
if( "Articles" == $terms_string ) {
$html .= 'glyph HTML code';
}
$html .= '<a href="'. $typeLink . '">' . $terms_string . '</a></span>'; | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to include a JSON file on my page?
I have a JSON file stored in my child theme directory: file.json). Separately, the PHP template for my page contains some JavaScript code (in the form of a `<script>` tag). In that JS code, I want to write the contents of the JSON file to a variable. What is the proper approach to this?

* Can I just use `include` to include the JSON file on the page? Actually now that I think about it, one can only use `include` with certain file extensions--correct?
* Should I perhaps use PHP to save the contents of the JSON file to a PHP variable, then pass that variable to the JS code?
Thanks in advance. | You can do this with PHP indeed. The steps are as followed;
1. Get the contents of the JSON file within a variable using `$json = file_get_contents('path-to-file.json')`

How do we update a custom file upload field with the Advanced Custom Field plugin?

Issue with custom loop in Archive page

endwhile;

else :
get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'none' );
endif;
?>
I tried to use `WP_query();` or `query_posts();` and same issue.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks! | The problem is you aren't saving your custom query's results. To do it your way, you would need to save the query's results to a variable, like so:
$myposts = query_posts( $archive_args );
if ( $myposts->have_posts() ) : while ($myposts->have_posts()) : $myposts->the_post();
However, that's not the most efficient way. WP runs the default query in addition to this custom one. So, you would be better off using `pre_get_posts` to alter the main query and just using its results - meaning you would not need to do a custom query or add the `$myposts` part at all.
Your `pre_get_posts` filter would just be something simple like:
// If this is the main query, not in wp-admin, and it's for an archive
if($query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && $query->is_post_type_archive()) {
// Pull 8 posts per page

How do i display zip code options during checkout
I was recently working on shipping methods in woocommerce that allows customers to pay for a specific shipping fee based on their location. But, during checkout when the country (Nigeria) is selected, post/zip code field disappears. Went ahead to choose a different country and the post/zip code field appears.
please, I’ll like to display zip code options during checkout, how do I get this done? I’m so confused. Thank you. | The postcode field was hidden for Nigeria in 3.5, you can see the reasoning given here: <
> While the Nigeria Postal Service (< introduced Postal Codes a few years ago, they aren't being used by hardly anyone.
>
> Nobody knows their postal codes as the implementation is very convoluted and nothing was done to sensitize the public or encourage their use. You won't find them on any addresses and they aren't required for finding a building/location or for delivering parcels.
If this is incorrect, you should file an issue.
To change this behaviour on one site, though, you can use filter `woocommerce_get_country_locale`, like so:
add_filter(
'woocommerce_get_country_locale',
function( $locales ) {
$locales['NG']['postcode']['hidden'] = false;
return $locales;
}

Comparing Meta Field date in WPQuery using Meta_Query?

How to only Load scripts on variable products page
I'm looking for a way to load my JavaScript and CSS only on the product page, but only if it's a Variable Products.
The `is_product()` function works well, but my scripts are loaded for all types of products: Simple, Variable, Grouped .....
How to limit the loading of scripts only for a variable product? | I have already tried this solutions :
$the_product = new WC_Product(get_the_ID());
$the_product->get_type(); // Return always "simple"

* Get the product if ID is passed, otherwise the product is new and empty.
* This class should NOT be instantiated, but the wc_get_product() function
* should be used. It is possible, but the wc_get_product() is preferred.
*
* @param int|WC_Product|object $product Product to init.
*/
Now I get the correct product type with this:
$the_product = wc_get_product( get_the_ID() );
var_dump( $the_product->get_type() );

Gutenberg Gallery Block - How to get the full image url in Javascript/jQuery?
I am using jQuery to convert Gutenberg gallery image to clickable lightbox image. In order to do that, I was using jQuery to get the data-full-url attribute but I just found that some images don't have this attribute.

How to set up a If is_singular statement?
I've got this code here, and I want it to exclude this div from being parsed if the condition is false.
<?php if ( ! is_single() ) { ?>
<div class="cat-container">
<a class="post-cat bg-darkpurple" href="<?php echo $category_link ?>"><?php echo $category_name ?></a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
However, It does not work as intended. It's either true or false for all results depending on if ! is included or not. I feel like I'm missing something really simple.
Basically, I don't want the div to be sent to the loop If it is a page, not a post(Since pages don't have categories.)
I've tried is_single, Is_singluar, and ('post') in there as well, to no avail.
Thanks for any insight | `is_single()` and `is_singular()` are not the correct functions to use here.
Your comment mentions that this is being added to `search.php`, but `is_single()` and `is_singular()` will always be false on `search.php`, because those functions are checking if the current page is a single post or page, but `search.php` is not. It's is a _list of multiple results_. `is_single()` is not checking the current item in a loop, it's checking, essentially, what is represented by the current _URL_.
This is why it's displaying for `! is_single()`, because `is_single()` is `false`, and `! false` is `true`.
If you need to determine the post type of a post within a loop, you can use `get_post_type()`:
<?php if ( 'post' === get_post_type() ) { ?>
<div class="cat-container">
<a class="post-cat bg-darkpurple" href="<?php echo $category_link ?>"><?php echo $category_name ?></a>

Where does this field get its value?
I've inherited maintenance of a wordpress site with a custom template. I'm trying to change the value of a phone number that is displayed throughout the site. I've found the field by looking in the template php files here:
<a href="tel:<?php the_field('phone_number', 'option'); ?>"><strong>Phone:</strong> <?php the_field('phone_number', 'option'); ?></a>
I tried editing the page to see if there's a box where I can fill this in, but I can't find it anywhere.
Is there some sort of global menu for these types of fields? | That clearly is a plugin field of "Advanced Custom Fields".
The function:
the_field();
is one of the utility functions of the plugin. The purpose of "Advanced Custom Fields" is to enable users with less coding-knowledge to add custom fields to a theme/template.
So, in order to reverse engineer the whole thing, you propably need to install and activate "ACF" (very often used as an abbreviation for Advanced Custom Fields).
Activate it, and see what happens. In case your installation is missing the necessary data for the plugin, you might have to add them via ACF in the backend.
Try to find the field in the backend, which says "phone_number" it should be there, if it is not existent - create it.

New Page/Post Screen Opens an Existing Post
When I go to add a post or page to my WordPress site, the permalink and featured image are already populated with a 10 year old post, thus we are unable to create new content.
**Recent changes done on the site:**
* We ran a find-and-replace in wp_posts to rebrand part of our company, however that should only have affected that string inside `<p>` tags since our search included spaces
* We deleted old post revisions from the database to make it lighter
* We ran a database cleanup plugin
I know one solution will be to rollback the database before these changes were made, but this bug was only discovered now (a week later), so recovering from the error is preferable. | Turns out that a previously-modified line in the Yoast SEO source code had been reverted, so this error came back in debug.log: `1Uncaught TypeError: Argument 2 passed to WPSEO_Link_Watcher::save_post() must be an instance of WP_Post, null given`.
Disabling Yoast resolved the New Page/Post error, however I believe the root cause was that the database has been around for a few versions of WordPress and needs to be rebuilt soon for better stability (just like re-installing Windows after a couple years).
EDIT: So the root cause was that at some point `wp_posts` lost its primary key and had auto-increment disabled on `ID`, so new DB entries were all getting an `ID` of 0. Then, when we tried to restore the backup of that database snapshot, we received import errors because of the duplicate ID entries, causing an incomplete database restore. Once we removed the extra `ID` 0 entries we were able to properly import our database backup and get the site to its former glory. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do you format the set_body option for WP_Rest_Request?
I am looking to pull data from a Google Spreadsheet using SpreadAPI.
This is my current code.
$request = new WP_REST_Request('POST', '
$request->setBody('{\n"method": "GET",\n"sheet": "date",\n"key": "ACCESS_KEY"\n}');
$response = rest_do_request( $request );
However I'm clearly doing something wrong when it comes to formatting the setBody option. I'm not getting a json response, and I can't seem to find any examples of this in the WordPress documentation.
The call works fine when I put it into the RAW section in Postman like this. I'm just not sure how to do that using WordPress.
{
"method": "GET",
"sheet": "date",
"key": "ACCESS_KEY"
} | `WP_Rest_Request` is not a way to make outgoing calls to remote REST APIs, it's a data object core uses to pass around information about an incoming request. It's basically something you recieved, it isn't something you can send.
If you poke your sites REST API with a request, WordPress creates and populates a `WP_Rest_Request` object and uses it to help handle the request.
So you cannot use this class to make requests to Google.
For that, you want to use the WP_HTTP APIs, such as `wp_remote_get`, or `wp_remote_post`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Pass Variables or Variable Place-Holder from Editor to PHP
I'm building a method for my client to construct a message content to be sent with wp_mail. Within that I'd like them to be able to choose variables, for example the message might look like this in my admin custom field:
> Email: $email_address$
>
> First Name: $first_name$
So that when I iterate over the lines I can spot a variable place-holder and replace $email_address$ with my variable so my PHP would look like:
$body = 'Email Address: [email protected]<br>First Name: Mickey Mouse';
wp_mail( $to, $subject, $body, $headers );
I suppose I'm wondering if there's a particular or PHP-ish way to do this, I'm sure I've seen it in plugins before but don't recall the exact formatting. | You should use str_replace, which accepts arrays as arguments:
$content = "Email: {{email}}\nFirst Name: {{first_name}}";
$body = str_replace(
['{{email}}', '{{first_name}}'],
['[email protected]', 'Mickey Mouse'],
$content
);
Be careful about using `$` in your placeholders. Since it's widely used in PHP, it's not safe. It was the reason I've used mustache-like syntax in my example. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
