how to block direct access to multiple thank you pages?
I have multiple contact forms in my wordpress website and have a different thankyou page for each. So, i want to prevent direct access of thankyou pages by just entering urls. I want if the user fills the form than it is only redirected to that forms thankyou page.
I have working code for 1 thankyou page but i don't know how to set up for multiple contact forms & thankyou pages.
// ID of the thank you page
if ( ! is_page(1911)) {
return;
}
// coming from the form, so all is fine
if (wp_get_referer() == ' {
return;
}
// we are on thank you page
// visitor is not coming from form
// so redirect to home
wp_redirect( get_home_url() );
exit;
} );```
Other thankyou page id's: 1269, 1825, 1623

admin-ajax return error 400 for Chrome/Edge but not Firefox

Can I change the Wordpress default color?
I just installed Wordpress and am struggling to change the default color. Currently, my default color is "pink" because I have the Wordpress 2020 theme. However, I would like to change it to black.
I'm mainly interested in chaning the colors of my menu navigation.
When clicking on the color customization menu, I have the option to select between Default and Custom.For some reason, I cannot pick black as a custom color.
Any tips on how to change my default color?
In the Additional CSS you'll have a text area where you can put your own CSS, use this:
body:not(.overlay-header) .primary-menu > li > a, body:not(.overlay-header) .primary-menu > li > .icon, .modal-menu a, .footer-menu a, .footer-widgets a, #site-footer .wp-block-button.is-style-outline, .wp-block-pullquote:before, .singular:not(.overlay-header) .entry-header a, .archive-header a, .header-footer-group .color-accent, .header-footer-group .color-accent-hover:hover{
color:#000;
}
That'll set all of the menu items that are currently pink to be black.

Wordpress site show white screen after updating some plugins (URGENT)
I updated some plugins and few minutes later when i check my site i see white screen.
What i tried:
I reboot server I loaded a backup from what i before I change the name of plugins directory to plugins2 I added debug true in wp-config.php
Stil only white screen.
Please help this is urgent. | Check your emails: a white screen should make Wordpress send you an email saying there’s a critical problem and inviting you to fix it.
Could caching be stopping wp_debug from working yet? (Clear cache)

Cannot get custom javascript to execute on page

Is it possible to lock all new and existing WordPress posts to one specific author?
I have a case where there will be multiple users writing, editing, and publishing posts. All these posts should always have the same user as the author, a catch-all user if you will.
Is it possible to programmatically set the author for every new post to this user, no matter which user is logged in? I think I will be able to figure out how to remove the ability to change author on posts, but I am kind of stuck on this one question.
If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very thankful! | This is untested, but you could use the `wp_insert_post_data` filter to change the post author to a specific value whenever a post is inserted or updated:
add_filter(
'wp_insert_post_data',
function( $data ) {
if ( 'post' === $data['post_type'] ) {
$data['post_author'] = 2; // Replace with desired author's user ID.
}
return $data;
}
);
Just be aware that if posts are being created by users who do not have the `edit_others_posts` capability, such as Authors and Contributors, then they will experience unusual behaviour, because they will not have permission to do anything with the post once it has been saved. So they could see an error when the post page reloads after pressing Publish, for example. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a maximum length to user passwords?
In the database, the hashed password is stored in a field that can store up to 60 characters.
My question: **is there an upper character limit** on the unhashed (user-chosen) passwords, **or will the hashing procedure always keep it below a certain length?** \- (Eg. how strictly should I validate its length upon registration?)
Edit:
Based on the article linked by Dave White, I've tried setting an 1001 character length password, just to see if it's possible. Although it almost froze the admin panel, but set it successfully, and login was possible.
Looks like the hasing algorithm shortens even the longest of passwords to a certain length, but I would like to hear confirmation from people more knowledgable in cryptography. | From WordPress Tavern \- the article is for WordPress password-protected posts but the final paragraph reads:

show_in_rest false disable Gutenberg

Display time as "12:00 noon" instead of "12:00 pm"
We display event dates/times via Wordpress date and time functions in am/pm time (12 hour, not 24 hour). For any times that are noon - i.e. "12:00 pm" - we'd like to display "12:00 noon" instead.
And we'd also like to display "12:00 midnight" instead of "12:00 am".
This is to avoid confusion (we run online events around the world at different times so there is room for this type of confusion).
All other times of the day can keep their am/pm, it's just these two exact times that we're seeking to change. | So what you need to do is make your life easier and instead of searching everything within every instance of `.pp-post-content` or `.pp-post-content p`, let's wrap the times or the times in question with a span tag. Like you suggested in your comments `<span class="tas-event-time">` is sufficient enough.
Now, in your .js file, you want to add the following:
jQuery( document ).ready( function($) {
$( '.tas-event-time' ).html( $( '.tas-event-time' ).html().replace( '12:00 pm','12:00 noon') );
} );

Wordpress hosting good practice
Hello Wordpress developers, I need advice from you.
I need to host Wordpress site for a client and I decided to use recommended hosting providers like Blue Host, Site Ground and Namecheap.
So what is recommended practice? Should a client register his account and buy hosting service with his own credit card and provide hosting/server/database access to me or I should register my personal account and pay hosting service with my card? | This seems off-topic, but I'll answer anyway.
It entirely depends on your arrangement with the client, as well as whether you want to take care of supporting your client's site after you deliver it to them.
Reputable hosts like wpengine.com provide different levels of access via developer roles: your client pays for everything and has access to everything, then invites you to their account and you have access to all the technical and support tickets functionality needed to do your work (but not the invoicing).
P.S.: Not affiliated with Wpengine, I just know for a fact they provide what I described above. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Copying a modified theme from one wordpress site to another wordpress site
So, I have one website which was using a theme called "theme-xyz". In past, I directly made modifications to this theme, in header, footer and style. Now, I want to copy this modified theme to a new wordpress website.
However, the new wordpress website already has "theme-xyz" and I can not remove/replace it under any circumstance. So I decided to rename my modified theme to "theme-xyz-new". However, this looses some functionalities, which I think are dependent on some php code which uses $theme-xyz variable. I could go through the whole code and rename the variable but that would be a lot of work.
Also, I think that I cant use child theme. If I am correct, to use child theme, I will also need the modified parent "theme_xyz" from older website but I cant move it with the same name as the new website already has "theme_xyz" and I cant replace that.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help. | I know it may seem like a lot of work but I build all my themes from my own theme framework and in the framework I have a bunch of “placeholder” variables and texts that I just replace with my text editor’s “Find & Replace” function.
Additionally, EVEN if both themes have the same variable names, there shouldn’t be any conflict because only one can be active at a time, so only one theme has it’s code being executed.
Simply make sure the version numbers are different, make sure the folder/directory name is different and upload. Then using the version name, make sure your newer one is Activated. At this point, if you see errors or anything missing it could be down to several things. Options not being set in the new theme, missing widgets which are easy to drag from the Inactive Widgets section, or maybe there’s hard coded URLs or assets in the theme, which is poor practice and should be corrected anyway. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Styles don't load correctly. Insecure content
I'm a newby developing plugins for Wordpress.
When I try to enqueue a style, Wordpress shows the following error: Insecure Content.
The code I use to 'attach' the css files is the following one:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'callback_for_setting_up_scripts');
function callback_for_setting_up_scripts(){
wp_register_style('estilo', __DIR__ . '/assets/css/estilo.css');
wp_enqueue_style( 'estilo' );
}
This code is located in the `/modules` folder of the main plugin because it's the style for a specific module.
I use Query Monitor Plugin as a debugger.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance | `__DIR__` returns the current file system path, not a URL. So the resulting stylesheet will not be a valid URL, and will not have ` causing the insecure content warning.
To get the URL for a stylesheet in your plugin, you need to use `plugins_url()`:
wp_register_style( 'estilo', plugins_url( 'assets/css/estilo.css', __FILE__ ) );
The use of `__FILE__` here is described in the documentation for the function:
> A full path to a file inside a plugin or mu-plugin. The URL will be relative to its directory. Typically this is done by passing `__FILE__` as the argument. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a best practice remediation for PhpStorm's warning that void function the_post_thumbnail is used?
In a plugin I'm working on there is a line:
`echo the_post_thumbnail(array(155,55));`
It throws a inspection warning:
> 'void' function 'the_post_thumbnail' result used
Is there a best practice method of dealing with this or is the PhpStorm inspection overly aggressive? | The solution is simple, don't `echo` the result of that function, there is no result to echo.
echo the_post_thumbnail(array(155,55));
Is equivalent to something like this:
echo '';
the_post_thumbnail(array(155,55));
Functions that begin with `the_` in WP don't return things, they output things. Some of them let you pass a parameter that lets them return instead, but those are the exception, also don't do that.
The `echo` is both unnecessary, and incorrect PHP.
So, just use this:
the_post_thumbnail([ 155, 55 ]);

wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);
}
In this exemple should I rename 'parent-style' as the name of the parent style? Or leave it as 'parent-style'? | You can leave it as is _(see Jacob Pettie's comment)_ or you can change it, but the key here is to add the path to locate the parent theme’s CSS.

function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
In your example you’re cutting it off after the ( ‘parent-style’ ), but you should continue and include the path to the parent theme’s style.css.

Adding code before post title with the_title produces weird results
add_action ('the_title' , 'test');
function test($title) {
$mycode = '<div>test</div>';
echo $mycode . $title;
}
I expected this functions.php code to add "test" before the post title. It does that. But it adds it also all over the place on the page. Not sure what's the logic, it seems it adds appends it to all menu items of the page.
Am I wrong on my usage of the_title? Or might there be theme interference here? | `the_title` filter has two parameters passed to it, `$title` and `$id`. You could use the `$id` to check the current post type and then do stuff based on that.
add_action ('the_title' , 'test', 10, 2);
function test($title, $id) {
return 'post' === get_post_type($id) ? '<div>test</div> ' . $title : $title;
}
The problem with this is that the filter is kind of not aware in which context it is called ( _naturally WP conditionals provide some context_ ). So you might get unexpected results and end up with the custom title prefix/suffix showing up everywhere on a single view, e.g. the main menu, main title, related posts, sidebar, footer..., even if you just wanted to make the modification in only one part of your view.

htaccess wildcard redirect misses some URLs

# Redirect everything
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [R=301,L] | You've put the redirect directive in the wrong place. It needs to go _before_ the WordPress front-controller, otherwise, the redirect will simply get ignored for anything other than URLs that map directly to the filesystem.
Since these domains are also on the same server (same hosting account I assume) then you will need to check for the requested hostname, otherwise, you'll get a redirect loop.
For example:
# Redirect everything from old to new domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old\.example [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) [R=301,L]

remove duplicate name submenu link from the custom post type

Fill custom select field with pages/post titles
I'm just getting into the world of SAGE development and at the same time, I'm using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.

How to modify WCMP Rest API response?
I had tried the `register_rest_field()` to modify the Rest API response of the WCMP plugin, but it seems that this function applies only to the default wordpress REST API (wp/v2).
The purpose of modifying is that vendors data (fetched from this URL ...wp-json/wcmp/v1/vendors) does not include the image's URL for each vendor, instead the image ID is returned, and I don't want to make another API request just to get the image URL based on the ID.
Adding the `_embed` parameter did not work.
How can I modify the response of the WCMP like the `register_rest_field()` do with default REST API in order to include the image URL? | Finally I had solved it!
In the source code of the plugin "dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor", I had viewed the class "class-wcmp-rest-vendors-controller.php" and figured out that they are using this filter in order to gather up the fields of the response: `apply_filters("wcmp_rest_prepare_vendor_object_args", array(...));`
In the functions.php of the child theme I had written this code to edit the filter:
function modify_rest_api_vendor_response( $arg ) {
$arg["shop"]["image"]=wp_get_attachment_url($arg["shop"]["image"]);
return $arg;
}
add_filter( 'wcmp_rest_prepare_vendor_object_args', 'modify_rest_api_vendor_response', 10, 3 );
And now I can get the image URL

Retrieving Tag Name in Template Part from Filtered URL
WooCommerce has a built in `product_tag` url filter as such:
Bringing back all the `product_tag`s with the given slug in the url.
I am trying to do something relatively simple, retrieve the name of the `product_tag` and put it in a text heading block so the visitor knows what it is filtering.
The only thing I was able to figure out is in my woocommerce template page `woocommerce-page.php` is latching onto the global variable `$wp_query`
And then putting the product tags slug in a variable.
$producttag = $wp_query->query['product_tag'];
Questions:
Is this an appropriate way to retrieve the product tag slug? How do I convert the product slug into its actual Name?
Or is there a way to bypass the slug altogether and just get the product tags name? The only way I found how to get these variables was by looking at `$wp_query`, and that only returns the slug. | I suppose this works. Still not sure if it is the best method.

How come a YouTube link isn't transformed into a shortcode inside the post content?

How does WP transform that link to an iframe and make it pretty? The reason for asking this is because there's absolutely no way to take that link from a search within the post and then grabbing its output. **To me, the developer, it's just a link whose output that an user sees I cannot reproduce.** | On output WordPress parses the content and finds any links on their own line and for links from supported sites it uses oEmbed to get the embed code for the linked media and replaces the link with it.

Wordpress shows different upload_max_filesize than php.ini setting
I have php.ini files in the following directories of my WordPress installation:
* /wp-admin
* /wp-content
* / (where there wp-config.php lies)
In all of them I set `upload_max_filesize = 640M;` \- **640MB** is the maximum value that is allowed by my provider in my package (I called).
memory_limit = 268435456;
post_max_size = 67108864;
upload_max_filesize = 640M;
I did NOT configure an upload_max_filesize in wp-config.php or in .htaccess. I confirmed this value with `phpinfo()` and with `ini_get('upload_max_filesize')`.
Nonetheless, WordPress displayes **64 MB** as maximum on the media upload page and on the WooCommerce status page.
I am utterly puzzled. I checked every post on stack but I couldn't find an answer to that dissonance. Help would be much appreciated.
![upload page]( ![WC status]( | UPDATED:
I figured out the following by playing with the numbers in the php.ini in /wp-admin:
The add upload page in the admin area seems to always **display the lower value** of either `post_max_size` and `upload_max_filesize`.
In my case, `post_max_size` was lower than `upload_max_filesize` which is the reason for "Maximum size of files for uploads" not displaying the 640MB but 64MB.
I suppose this has to do with this: see php.net docs as:
> post_max_size integer
> Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to have different headers.php files based on the display page

How can I & how do I change text displayed in comment via child theme
This isn't a specific theme I'm asking for, well, yes it is, but I assume the answer would work on any theme..
I've recently learned little about child theme, but I'm not understanding how to change stuff. For example, the following code (see screenshot)
![Code](
This is the main themes comments.php, and as I've leavene learned, you shouldn't change the themes code, and instead modify the child theme.
But how? If I for example wants to change the marked text to: One idea, idea & ideas, I would normally just change it, but not when you're using child theme.
So what do I do? Copy the php snippet and create a new comments.php in my child theme directory? Should I MOVE the code from the mother theme to the child? .. Or is it more complicated than that? | You should copy comments.php in the child theme and then make the changes there.

How to add a custom class attribute into code wrapper?
By default, after publishing codes, the post shows a html like this,
<pre class="wp-block-code">
<code>
some codes here
</code>
</pre>
I have plenty posts with codes and don't want to edit them one by one. How do I add a custom class attribute globally for all posts? to make it look like this
<pre class="wp-block-code custom-class">
<code>
some codes here
</code>
</pre>
Thanks in advance. | To add your custom class to the old posts at once, you can do this via "the_content" filter and using preg_replace or preg_replace_callback function to do a REGEX replacement.
A working Example:
add_filter( 'the_content', function( $content ){
// Don't do anything if we're not in a single post
if(! is_singular()){
return $content;
}
$customClass = 'custom-class';
return preg_replace_callback(
'/<pre([^>]+)class="([^"]+)"/i',
function( $matches )use( $customClass ){
return '<pre' . $matches[1] . 'class="' . trim($matches[2]) . ' ' . $customClass . '"';

Get full image array
When I use Advanced Custom Fields I can return the full image array of an upload. Is there a native WordPress way to get the full image array for any image in the Media Library by image ID? I can find ways to get the alt text and a specific image size, but not the array itself... | The "full array" is constructed by Advanced Custom Fields from various sources. It's not a format that occurs natively in WordPress.
If you want to output an image tag for an image with all the correct attributes, just use the ID with `wp_get_attachment_image()`. That returns an HTML `<img>` tag with the `src`, `width`, `height`, `alt`, `srcset`, `sizes` and `class` all populated. You can add or change attributes to the tag using the 4th argument:
echo wp_get_attachment_image(
$attachment_id,
'large',
false
[
'class' => 'custom-class',
'data-attribute' => 'custom-attribute-value',
]
);
To be honest, if your goal is to ultimately get an `<img>` tag, then even with ACF you should return an ID and use this function. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it possible not to load theme on a specific page in wordpress?
I have a question about wordpress, I need the current theme installed on my wordpress not to be loaded on a certain page, is it possible?
What I want to do is create a bootstrap dashboard, and I don't want to load the default theme. The idea is to develop a dashboard via plugin and generate all the html, header, content, footer.

I accept suggestions too !!! Thank you. | Why not create a template file that gets loaded by the dashboard page?

How toprint informations in footer
Is there any filter or hook to print a script or add in the footer some content? I'm not talking about `wp_enqueue_` function, I'm creating a plugin that will show a banner for privacy and cookie info and I want to append it to the footer. I'm using at the moment this code, but I hope that there is a more clean wey to do it:
function cookie_privacy_script()
{
<script>
// js code here
</script>
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'cookie_privacy_script'); | Printing content and adding a script to the footer are two different things.
If you want to add your banner html in the footer, you can use the `wp_footer` hook that will trigger when you call the `get_footer()` function from your theme.
You can simple echo your html (or load a template file).
function myplugin_wp_footer () {
echo '<div id="myplugin-cookie-banner">bla bla</div>';
// or you can use include() function to load a PHP script instead
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'myplugin_wp_footer');
Then you can add your JS script as suggested by @CRavon
function myplugin_cookie_privacy_script(){
wp_enqueue_script( 'myplugin-cookie-script', plugin_dir_url(__FILE__).'js/cookie-banner.js', [], true, true);
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'myplugin_cookie_privacy_script');
The last parameter of `wp_enqueue_script` tells that your script will be added in the HTML at the end of the body. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

HTML showing after PHP code in <img> tag
I am trying to display a page featured image. Every time I use the img tag,the text after the php code (" class="headshot" >) displays below the picture on the website. See picture screenshot of picture below ![enter image description here](
<div class="bio-picture">
<img url="<?php the_post_thumbnail('full');?>" class="headshot">
</div> | This is because `the_post_thubmnail()` outputs an `<img>` tag. So the result of your code will be something like this:
<div class="bio-picture">
<img url="<img src="thumbnail/image/url.jpg" class="wp-post-image attachment-full">" class="headshot">
</div>
Your screenshot is how the browser has chosen to handle that broken HTML.
If you want to output the post thumbnail `<img>` with a custom class, use this:
<div class="bio-picture">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'full', array( 'class' => 'headshot' ) );?>
</div>
Also, please note that the correct attribute for the `img` tag's URl is not `url`, it's `src`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Create custom API endpoint to change custom header image
My goal is to create a custom API endpoint that I can call with an API call that changes the custom header image in Wordpress to another image (which would be passed along the API call, or maybe just switch to another media file in Wordpress, or similar).
**_UPDATE:_** I have now found the set_theme_mod() function which seems to be what I'm looking for, but when I tried to implement it I couldn't quite get it to work.

Is it possible to have a template that works on multiple categories where the link address contains the specific category?
This question is for a very specific refinement on the use of WordPress template files. The refinement would work similarly to how default archive.php and variants work, but we would like to have a second template that has the same mechanism for querying the desired category through the link address.
The model is a wood site where some people like to browse through the default template style, but others would prefer to just see a list of links.
The goal is to create one template where the category would be passed to the template through the link, instead of having to create a new list template for each category. | Why not using a meta field ? That way you can determine which template to use for specific category template.
In your loop just get the current category that you are trying to load:
if( have_posts() ) {
while( have_posts() ) {
the_post();
$meta_value = get_post_meta( get_the_ID() , 'meta-field', true );
if($meta_value == 'template1') {
//I prefer using this method. Create folder templates with file content-template1.php where you can design your content. That way it is way more clear.

Share or sync user table data with another user table
I have a software and a wordpress installed in the same database, there is a wordpress "user" table and the software "user_soft" table. Is there any way or plugin to sync the two tables so that when the user register in wordpress, automatically register in "user_soft"? | Welcome to WPSE. Asking for plugin recommendations is considered off-topic here, so here's an action approach to the problem.
`wp_insert_user()` takes care of adding new users to the database. The last action the function fires is `user_register`, which _"Fires immediately after a new user is registered"_. You could hook your function to this action and use it to update the custom DB table.
In your action function you can use the global `$wpdb` to manipulate your database tables whether they are standard WP tables or not. (You can also use `wpdb` class to connect to other databases, too.)
To insert new data into the database you can use the `wpdb::insert( string $table, array $data, array|string $format = null )` method.
If there's some user data that needs to be kept updated and synced, then you can hook to `profile_update` action, which `wp_insert_user()` also fires, but _"...immediately after an existing user is updated"_. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Invisible spam post in backend

Is there a way to remove it eventually? | I'd try
* open the spam post in your browser and find the post ID. This will be in a rel='shortlink' tag in the HTML header:

<body class="page-template-default page page-id-123 logged-in admin-bar
no-customize-support">
* edit that ID into your normal edit post URL, e.g.
You should then be able to edit or delete the spam post from there. If that doesn't work, look for that ID in the wp_posts table in your database and see if you work out why it's not showing up, or just delete it from wp_posts and wp_postmeta there.
Or if you want to see why the post counts differ, I'd compare the SQL queries WordPress is using to count the posts and list them, e.g. using the Query Monitor plugin. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to add (and change the font of) the short product description to order page and customer's new order e-mail

Can you assist, please? | I don't know what the font is for the rest of the email but if you can discern that by examining one of the emails sent you'll want to copy the style rule to this element:
return $item_name . '<br><p class="item-description">' . $excerpt ; '</p>';
As this is an email you'll have to rely on fonts available to the user, so check the email and locate what fonts are being assigned and then add them like this:
return $item_name . '<br><p class="item-description" style="font-family:WHATEVERTHEFONTIS,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:XXpx;font-weight:XXpx;">' . $excerpt ; '</p>';
In earnest though, you'd be better off overriding the email templates using standard WooCommerce (I'm assuming this is for WooCommerce.) template overrides in your theme/child theme.

Use ACF Category Image for all Taxonomy Archive Views
I’m wondering if you could help with some code I’m struggling with.
I’ve got an ACF Image Field on the Post Category Taxonomy. I need to add it into the post loop so the category image shows up instead of the featured image. Here’s the code that I have in:
$current_term = get_queried_object();
$author_image = get_field('author_image', $current_term );
echo do_shortcode('[image_shortcode id="'.$author_image.'" image_size="original"]');
It’s working on the Category Archive page, but not on the Tags Archive page. Let me know your thoughts. | Thanks for your help Bob. I appreciate it. Your answer got me close, but I was able to figure this out. The actual answer ended up being this:
$post_categories = wp_get_post_categories( get_the_ID(), array('fields' => 'all'));
if ( $post_categories ) {
$current_term = $post_categories[0];
$author_image = get_field('author_image', $current_term );
echo do_shortcode('[image_shortcode id="'.$author_image.'" image_size="original"]');}

Reverse order of posts in a certain taxonomy archive?
I have a custom post type `message` which has a custom taxonomy called `series`. Is there a way to reverse the date order of the posts in just that archive (oldest first)? I want to continue to show newest first in the basic all-messages archive as well as archives based on other taxonomies.
There are plenty of examples of how to do it for all archives, like this:
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'change_post_order');
function change_post_order($query){
$query->set('order','ASC');
$query->set('orderby','date');
}
But I don't know how to limit it to archives of just the `series` taxonomy. | Untested but can you do:
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'change_post_order');
function change_post_order($query){
if($query->is_tax('series')) {

$query->set('orderby','date');
}
}

Hide account tab to certain users
Hi there i was wondering if it was possible to hide the "Wholesale Ordering Form" to users who are not logged in as Wholesaler, we have made it so other user roles cannot access this section but preferably would want it to not display to regular customers at all. The account tab has been linked using a custom snippet provided by Wholesale Suite for WooCommerce Wholesale Order Form.
->roles)) {
// Your snippet here
}
This will only run the snippet that adds that tab when the user that is logged in has the wholesaler role. Be sure to replace `wholesaler` with whatever the slug of that role is on your website.
**Edit** :
If you want to check multiple arrays, you can just do this:
$roles = wp_get_current_user()->roles;
if(in_array('wholesaler', $roles) || in_array('administrator', $roles)) {
// Your snippet here
}
If you have more than two roles you want to check, here's an answer on how to check multiple values with in_array. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to give guest users "not logged in" a role?
I'm trying to give guest users "not logged in" a role.
I searched everywhere and I could not find a single solution that can make that happen. All what I found is to make an if statement in the `functions.php` file to give access to certain things, like for example post a comment without logging in.
However when there are a lot of roles it's hard to make it that way and it starts to be complicated.
Is there any way that I can achieve that?
Things that I have used
add_role( 'custom_role', 'Custom Role', array( 'read' => true ) );
and
<?php
global $user_login;
if( $user_login ) {
echo 'user logged in';
} else {
echo 'user not logged in';
}

Wordpress is not able to change themes

Wordpress Local Install Theme Folder Permission To Edit
I have installed WordPress on a local LAMP installation. All I want is to edit the theme files locally on an editor like `VS Code` where I can open the theme folder and start editing on the go.

Redirecting old post url to 404 in wordpress using htaccess
In WordPress I have a post with URL `
I renamed its permalink to `
Now if I open the old URL ` then it auto 301 redirects to ` due to the WordPress built-in feature by default.
However, I want to show a 404 when someone tries to open `
I tried putting this in `.htaccess` but it gives a 500 server error instead:
RewriteEngine On
Redirect 404 /article.html
Please advise. | I think doing this _within_ WordPress is probably the preferred approach, as mentioned in @Harrison's answer, however, to answer your specific queries...
>
> RewriteEngine On
> Redirect 404 /article.html
>
_Aside:_ The `RewriteEngine` directive relates to mod_rewrite, however, `Redirect` is a mod_alias directive - so these two directives are unrelated.
However, this should "work" with a default WordPress front-controller, so maybe you have a conflict with other directives in your `.htaccess` file?
Try the following instead, using mod_rewrite at the _top_ of your `.htaccess` file (before any existing WordPress directives):
RewriteRule ^article\.html$ - [R=404]
If this still results in an error, then try resetting the 404 error document (to the Apache default) before this:
ErrorDocument 404 default
You'll need to clear your browser cache to clear the cached (permanent) 301 redirect to the new URL. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to use terms from the same custom taxonomy in different roles in a custom post type?
How can I use terms from the same custom taxonomy in different roles in a custom post type?
I am developing a genealogy site which includes among other things biographies of ancestors, presentations about ancestors / family history and old letters that the ancestors have sent to each other. To link all this up I have a custom taxonomy 'Ancestor' that I use to tag which ancestors are mentioned in which post/page.
To make the letters part more accessible, I have created a custom post type 'Letter'. Now I would like to assign one 'Ancestor' as a 'sender' and one as a 'recipient' to each 'letter'. | You could create two custom meta fields for your custom post type 'letter'. With the plugin Advanced Custom Fields, this can be done in a minute: <
With one field you choose your sender, with the other you chooce your receiver.
You can also create your fields by hand, but even the wordpress docs tell you that this plugins can be used: <

Picklist: <
