What CSS rules are introduced to core blocks through wp-block-styles?
The Gutenberg Handbook mentions that some CSS for WordPress core blocks are applied to the front-end and within the editor by default (and that they cannot be disabled) but there are more opinionated CSS styles available that can be optionally added by adding the following your theme (in one of the PHP files, typically done through functions.php).
add_theme_support( 'wp-block-styles' );
I'm trying to find a list of these CSS rules added by `wp-block-styles`
I've searched through the Gutenberg repo and the only contents of `wp-block-styles` are the documentation that I linked to above. | If you have the Gutenberg plugin installed and enabled, the css rules are loaded in `/plugins/gutenberg/build/block-library/theme.css` ;
If you're just using the block-editor that is in core WordPress, the rules will instead be loaded from: `wp-includes/css/dist/block-library/theme.css` | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to authenticate via API to allow writes/updates
I've been working with the Wordpress REST API Authentication plugin (from miniOrange) as part of an article I'm writing. I want to demonstrate how to integrate a third-party application with a WP site through the API.
The miniOrange plugin is actually great for API calls that only want to read, but if I want to post pages or other information to the site, it is necessary to authenticate as a user with privilege.
Unfortunately, this plugin doesn't appear to even offer a trial mode for doing this. In order to use authentication modes that would allow writing, the plugin must be upgraded to the tune of somewhere between $150 to $400 (various sources of intel on this differ).
* Is this the ONLY suitable authentication plugin?
* Is there no other way to utilize the API for write operations without a similar plugin? | In the documentation I could find, it seems there were four options.
* OAuth1.0a Server \- this appeared to be unsupported and obsolete
* Application Passwords \- This might work, but it seemed a bit awkward to me
* JSON Web Tokens \- this appears to be unsupported and obsolete
* Basic Authentication \- this appears unsuitable as far as I can see
I explored the API Authentication plugin from miniOrange, and discovered that you can do a lot of things with the free version.
You can GET pages, posts, comments, and media.
You can POST media, comments, and posts.
The plugin supports Basic Authentication, JWT authentication, or (with the premium version,) OAuth 2.0.
So the short answer to my question is, " _yes, you can configure authentication for the WP API on your site without incurring big expense._ " | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to remove Database Table in Wordpress via Function file?

How to escape $_GET and check if isset?
I submitted a plugin to wordpress and I got a feedback that I have to escape this one `$active_tab = isset( $_GET[ 'tab' ] ) ? $_GET[ 'tab' ] : 'front_page_options';`

`$get_the_param = esc_html($_GET[ 'tab' ] );`
`$active_tab = isset( $get_the_param ) ? $get_the_param : 'front_page_options';`
Seems to work but as isset ( Cannot use isset() on the result of an expression ) as $_GET is not set it will throw a notice? What can be the possible solution?

custom post type and user post count shortcode
Hello i m a newbie in php and Wordpress development.
I was struggling to get a user custom post count in my wordpress/buddypress site frontend.
i m using this code:
// add [author-post-count] shortcode to your frontend
add_shortcode('author-posts-count', 'count_user_posts_function');
function count_user_posts_function ($userid, $post_type ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$totalUser =count_user_posts( $user_id, $post_type = 'posts_comcurso' );
return $totalUser;
}
i m adding [author-posts-count] in my frontend.
This way i manage to show user custom post count.
If anyone has a simple or better way please let me know. | If you were to use WP_Query to retrieve a list of posts, you can then access the number of posts using 'found_posts'.
e.g. (from the support pages)
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'author' => 123, 'post_type' => 'posts_comcurso' ) );
Would return all posts with a userid of 123 in your selected post type. Then access the number of posts like so:
$count = $query->found_posts;
There may be other ways but the above gives you a lot of flexibility to target the posts you want to count.

Wordpress Console Application (ability to excecute a custom function via crontab only)
I have a few custom tables in the database and I need to clean expired data from time to time.
If I was using WP-Cron, it would be easy, but WP-Cron sucks and is a no-go (especially for what I am doing). Having that in mind, I need to launch some code using `crontab`. How should I do it in a clean, effective manner that would not require nasty hacks?
I was thinking of creating a REST endpoint, but how to protect it so it could only be opened by the crontab?
The solution should be inside the plugin folder so it could be stored in GIT easily (i.e. nasty workarounds storing files in the main folder (a.k.a `public_html`) are not welcomed).
Was searching for a good solution for hours with no success... Thanks in advance! | The solution is as @Tom J Nowell mentioned to launch WP Cron via crontab (and disable it on user visits). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How should I be using filters and is_single together?
I have a plugin that uses this filter to add some content to a Custom Post Type.

*/
function sx_unhook_sixtenpresssermons_get_meta() {
// Do nothing if this isn't single post

/wp-admin not accessible after migrating to local host (no plugin issue)
I migrated my local Wordpress site to my WPEngine account and it's been working without any problem!
After adding some content, I decided to export the database from the live version and import it to my local version so that they are synced. I adjusted the two `siteurl` and `home` fields in the database and the home page ( comes up well but the /wp-admin page is forced to https and responds with `ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR` error.
All the other pages of the website cannot be loaded and return this error: Not Found The requested URL /news was not found on this server.
It seems like a "permalinks" reset problem for inner pages!
All these problems would go away if I switch the database back to the one I was using for local version so I'm pretty sure it's a database issue!
Thanks | I'm not sure but I would try 2 things
* Change `siteurl` and `homeurl` into http:// and not for https:// to work locally you'll need a local SSL certificate. You can easily manage this with MAMP PRO. But it's not required for your local site to work at all.
* Could you check if .htaccess is missing from your projects root folder. This is the directory where wp-config.php is located. This has impact on the permalinks, most-likely if the homepage is working and nothing else is, the .htaccess is missing.

Update wp_postmeta table based on 2 keys

get_post_meta()

Conditionally enqueue a stylesheet based off of a javascript click event
I would like to use a different ccs file based on a javascript click event. The user will have a choice of color themes by clicking one of the colored buttons on the screen. I originally have it working by providing the linked css with an id that can be targeted with javascript. The link is in the HTML head tag of course.

I am open to all possibilities and I thank you all in advance. if you need me to elaborate more feel free to let me know. | I think you're working too hard!
My approach to this would be to load all the stylesheets, then use JS to manipulate the `BODY` with an appropriate modifying class.
**An example**
You have 3 stylesheets: default.css, red.css, blue.css. Load them all on page load.
default.css `body { background: #ccc; color: black;}`
red.css `body.red { background: red; color: white;}`
blue.css `body.blue { background: blue; color: white;}`
Then just use JS to modify the classes on the `BODY` tag and the CSS will follow. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Any way to change post/page status when editing page?
Pre-Gutenberg, in the “Status & Visibility” panel, there used to be a way to change a Post’s status from “Published” to “Draft” or “Pending Review” – is that just gone now? The only way I can see to change a Page/Post’s status now via Quick Edit on the main admin-list page.
That’s not ideal, as often it is far easier to navigate to a Page on the front-end and use the top Admin bar to ‘Edit Page’ vs having to find the page in the backend control panel.
I've posted this WordPress.org forums too, to see if we can get the functionality back in a future update, just figured I'd see if anyone here had a solution or suggestion. Thanks. | When editing a page, click on the cog wheel in the upper right corner to ensure the sidebar displays.
There should be two tabs: `Document` and `Block`. Make sure `Document` is selected.
There is an accordion item called `Status & visibility`, among `Permalink`, `Discussion`, and `Page Attributes`.
If you click on `Status & visibility` to expand it, there is a `Visibility` item in there.
Clicking on the current visibility reveals radio buttons to select `Public`, `Private`, or `Password Protected`.
To change a page from `publish` to `draft`, take a look at the top right, to the left of the `Update` button. There is a link that says `Switch to draft`.
Once it's back in `draft`, under `Status & visibility`, there is now a checkbox above the `Move to trash` link that says `Pending review`, and if you check that, at the top you can now `Save as pending`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to edit the <body> Tags within the image file URLs?
At present, my image files appear within the following URL structure:
www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/year/month/image-file-name.jpg

<body style="margin: 0px; background: #88888;">
I would now like to modify this Body Tag, so that it becomes:
<body <?php body_class();?> style="margin: 10px; background: #01010;">
Performing the modifications, within the Core Files, is obviously not great as the alterations would be overridden after each WordPress update. Therefore, I am looking to be able to make the changes via the theme's `functions.php` file.
Is anyone able to give any pointers on how this can be achieved? I am assuming I am going to need to make use of the `add_filter` filter hook? | **You can't, WP doesn't generate that markup, Google Chrome/Chromium does**. There is no way to influence this from the server via PHP or JS or any other technology. It's just how browsers display images on their own directly.
As far as the web server is concerned, WP isn't even loaded, and no HTML is sent, just the image data.
* * *
Firefox does something similar, but it adds some HTML classes to the img tag and lads a stylesheet from a `chrome://` URL to center the image.
Safari adds a margin of 0 on the body tag, and adds inline styling rules.
You can prove it's the browsers by making the raw request via `curl` on the command line and inspecting the raw HTTP. You'll see HTTP headers indicating an image is about to arrive, followed by the image file. No HTML markup.
You can also prove it by dragging and dropping an image from a folder on your computer on to a new tab page. You'll see it too has an auto-generated DOM tree with basic browser styling. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to keep custom post type related information

## _PRODUCTS_
PRODUCTS DESCRIPTION
Now if I can add a meta box common to the product cpt which has an input field, I can display it on the web page. But I only know how to add meta boxes to each products under product type.
How do I solve this? | You have a few potential options that I can see:
1. Each CPT has a parameter for a Description, and you could access that via a plugin like CPT UI for admin purposes (though not ideal if you want non-admin users to have access to control the Description!)
2. Create a theme/plugin option page to control the Description parameter so that you limit the non-admin control to just that
3. Create a theme/plugin option page that uses general text fields to populate the description for you. You could use ACF Theme Options to do this quickly and simply if you preferred this route

How change a core block label
I would like to be able to change the `core/heading` block label that is shown here, what is the best way to do so?
![enter image description here]( | That is the block title and you can use the `blocks.registerBlockType` filter in the block editor to change the block title and other settings as well.
So for example, this would change the title to "My Heading":

if ( name !== 'core/heading' ) {
return settings;
}
return lodash.assign( {}, settings, {
title: 'My Heading',
} );

Wordpress Installation in Subfolder only works half
Hello I need to pick your brains here. So one of my projects went live a long time ago. The customer then asked me to build a second project which was supposed to be go live on a different domain. Not they aske dme to upload the project into a subfolder of their root. Everything is fine, I can access the admin and stuff, but the moment I open a blog post for example or navigate to one of the pages on their subfolder it automatically redirects me to the main domain.
I have checked the .htaccess which looks fine to me

</IfModule>
# END WordPress | OK after doing some more research I found out that I had to change the configs for the NGINX files as well.

add 3rd party link (with script) to menu item
I was given a code to add to a button to make a pop up for calendaring (booking).
I can figure out how to add this to the body of the page, but I'd like to add it to a menu item.
here is my code:
<a href=" class="spwidget-button" data-spwidget-scope-id="6c77380d-c2a0-4190-a51e-77cad166320f" data-spwidget-scope-uri="hopeandwellness" data-spwidget-application-id="7c72cb9f9a9b913654bb89d6c7b4e71a77911b30192051da35384b4d0c6d505b" data-spwidget-scope-global data-spwidget-autobind>Book Now</a><script src="
Placing this in the body works great...it adds a button that when clicked, opens a pop-up.
If I put this code in a menu item for a custom link, the link just disappears when I save the menu.
I also tried just adding the link to the URL field, and the class to the "css classes (optional)" field, but didn't know where I would put the script or data fields. | I usually add those links with "Custom links".

WordPress transient doesn't use the transient
I'm new to the transients but I think I get the logic behind it.
So I have a blog and I grab the posts via the API from another blog of mine.
Now I would like to save the data in a transient so I don't make a request every time I visit the page.
Here is my code:
if (false === ($posts === get_transient('posts_array'))) {
$response = wp_remote_get( ' );
// Exit if error.
if ( is_wp_error( $response ) ) {
return;
}
$posts[] = json_decode( wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response ) );
set_transient('posts_array', $posts, DAY_IN_SECONDS);
}
Now for some reason my WordPress doesn't get the transients it seems that it always makes the request to the API to get the `$posts` should I somewhere assign `$posts` with `get_transient` if it exists? | I mean in shortly your code is wrong in the first line, the comparing is wrong. The variable `$post` should store `=` the data of the request via `get_transient()` and not compare `===`.
So you should switch to:
if ( false === ( $posts = get_transient('posts_array') ) ) {
// this code runs when there is no valid transient set

Get /users/me details from Wordpress backend
**Is there anyway to get the same details as /users/me api command but in WP backend?**
I have backend function that would get the user meta details
**custom api /user_meta**
public myFunc( $userId ) {
$user_meta = get_user_meta( $userId );
return $user_meta
}
The user meta field has an **ACF option** that is formatted strange
"place": [
"a:1:{i:0;s:12:\"Earth\";}"
],
But when using the /users/me API call, the return is
**/users/me default wp api**
"place": [
"Earth"
],
Although I could use a conjunction of both apis to get the proper user meta details, it isn't ideal. Is there anyway of getting the /users/me api call in wordpress backend? | "a:1:{i:0;s:12:\"Earth\";}"
This is a PHP serialized value. If you pass it to unserialize you'll get back the array you're expecting. (And it looks like you've edited it because "Earth" is not 12 characters long: that should be `s:5:"Earth"`.)
However I'm surprised that get_user_meta doesn't already do this for you: it passes the value it's fetched from the database through maybe_unserialize() before it's returned to you, which ought to do this automatically for you. Is there any chance you've double-serialized this before storing the string in the database? (And note also the warning on the documentation page about unserializing arbitrary user-provided strings.)
To answer the general question though, everything you can get from /users/me is available with normal API calls and you don't need to use the REST API from inside WordPress itself. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there any size difference between single quote ' ' and double quote " " in CSS
I use single quote `''` and double quote `""` in CSS regularly. Is there any size difference between them? If yes, I'd like to use the smaller one. | There is no difference in terms of file size between single and double quotes.
Generally speaking, you should use whatever quotes are called for in the coding standard defined by the project you're using. If no coding standard is being used, at least be consistent with your usage.
WordPress specifies the following guidelines for using quotes in the CSS coding standards:
**Selectors**
> Attribute selectors should use double quotes around values
**Values**
> Use double quotes rather than single quotes, and only when needed, such as when a font name has a space or for the values of the content property.

Can we completely remove the WordPress Sitemaps (WordPress 5.5)?
I have been using my WordPress site to create various types of content, I obviously submit my sitemaps to Google for getting my site indexed. But there is some content which I don't want on Google, and therefore don't want it in Sitemaps too.
I used to use a plugin to implement it, but now we have got overlapping functionalities, as WordPress supports sitemaps now.
So How can I either completely remove the WordPress sitemap, so that I just use the Plugin, and Google Search Console cant read my `wp-sitemap.xml`, OR selectively remove some posts from WordPress Sitemap, so that I can Customize Sitemap to my taste, and then remove the Sitemap Plugin | Disabling the sitemap is easy, just add this line to your `functions.php`:
add_filter( 'wp_sitemaps_enabled', '__return_false' );
Removing specific posts goes like this:
add_filter(
'wp_sitemaps_posts_query_args',
function( $args, $post_type ) {
if ( 'post' !== $post_type ) {
return $args;
}
$args['post__not_in'] = isset( $args['post__not_in'] ) ? $args['post__not_in'] : array();
$args['post__not_in'][] = 123; // 123 is the ID of the post to exclude.
return $args;
},

2

Timber: Theme class not fetching the right directory?
I am new to using Timber, but I've wanted a way to use Twig inside Wordpress and ran across Timber, so I'm really excited!

This works as expected, except that the url given on output is:

Is there a way to set this or am I just missing something? Thanks in advance for your help! | @bocaj you're doing everything right. Unfortunately, we made a tweak to the starter theme which caused some unanticipated errors like the one you're seeing.
If you can simply move the contents of the `/theme-name/theme/` folder into `/theme-name/` (including `style.css`, `functions.php` and others) the problem will resolve itself and links/paths will behave as expected.

How to limit the number of forgot password reset attempts in Wordpress?
I'm using the Wordpress's built-in forgot password reset form and views.
I want to limit the number of reset password email attempts. By default Wordpress allows you to send unlimited reset password emails and I want to set a limit. How can I do?

Where in a Wordpress installation is the code for the default Gutenberg blocks located?
I apologize if this has been answered already. I've spent several hours searching through the WordPress directories and documentation, and I haven't been able to find the code for the default Gutenberg blocks. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
To clarify, I am specifically wondering where in the directory tree of a WordPress installation the blocks are defined. | If your end goal is to have a better understanding of how blocks work, I would encourage to install the gutenberg plugin instead.
The block code within the WordPress installation itself is not intended to be read by end users nor directly modified. It's minified to save space.
To answer your question, the code is stored in a couple places:
* `wp-includes/js/dist/block-library.js`
* `wp-includes/blocks/`
If you wish to modify a core block, like a block style variation where you can modify the CSS of a particular block, do not modify those files, it's recommended to place your code in a custom plugin that you would make. (and depending how much you want to modify it, you may want to just create your own block). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Password protected page with a form submits for me fine but for others redirects them back to the password prompt
I have a custom coded page (using a page-xxx.php template). This page defined in the /Pages area of the WP admin has password protection.
The content in my custom template is a form and so that is naturally what you see once past the PW prompt I've setup. The issue is that for some users (not me, I've never been able to recreate the issue) is that when they have completed the form, upon submitting it, instead of reloading the same page with a success msg it reloads the same page but it doesn't seem to remember that they have already got past the password prompt.
Can anyone assist troubleshooting this? I don't know how a password protected WP page is functioning (via session vars/cookies?) but I had assumed that once past it, you could reload it/submit a form on it and you wouldn't need to then get past the PW again.
Can anyone clarify this? | When a user logs into a protected page, WordPress sets a cookie. We can check for the existence of that cookie with this conditional:
if ( isset( $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] ) ) {
// Do stuff.
}
Also, you should be aware that only one password is stored in cookies at a time, to the last entry viewed.
By default, the cookie expires 10 days from creation
If you need to change
add_filter('post_password_expires', 'true_change_pass_exp', 10, 1);

How to avoid duplicate dependencies in Gutenberg blocks
The WordPress Gutenberg block build script uses wordpress/dependency-extraction-webpack-plugin to build the blocks without WordPress dependencies being repeated but what about other dependencies?
If I build a plugin with 10 blocks and they all re-use dependencies, the WordPress build script will embed the dependency in every block bundle.
Is there a good way to handle this without having to re-create webpack build by myself? | WordPress Dependency extraction plugin `@wordpress/dependency-extraction-webpack-plugin` basically makes your ES6 dependency imports use WordPress scripts instead of adding them to the bundle over and over.
This makes modules registered and enqueued in WordPress (including but not limited to `jquery`, `moment` and `react` and `wp.*` modules) to be properly excluded from builds.
You can add additional dependencies to be excluded (make sure you register/enqueue in WordPress) with `requestToHandle` callback.
For example for excluding say `react-sortable` component from build registered as `react-sortable` script in WordPress (PHP),
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new DependencyExtractionWebpackPlugin( {
requestToHandle: function ( module ) {
if ( module === 'react-sortable' ) {
return 'react-sortable'; // WordPress script handle
}
}
} ),
]

If I use WordPress REST API V2 and someone makes an app using it. Will my site count the posts views from the APP? And if not, then how?

Will `WordPress` do that automatically? If not, then how can I do such a thing?
I'm a beginner so please, be kind | **WordPress does not count views or traffic,** it's not a part of WordPress' feature set. Plugins and code snippets can add this but it's highly specific to the service you're using.
Usually for apps you will need to integrate tracking into the app itself. But how you would do that is specific to the **service** you choose, not WordPress.
To answer this you will need to consult the documentation for the service you've chosen to integrate. _There isn't a WordPress based answer._ | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it possible to have "two" sets of tags?
I have several Custom Category Taxonomies but what I am wondering is, if it's possible to have a second set of "tags"?
I am using my tags for a very specific purpose (the naming of cities) so I don't want to mix up that with what I need for another set of tags.
Sure, I can create another Category Taxonomy but the quantity of items means that a "tag" environment might be better...
Thanks | No, you can't have 2 groups of a singular taxonomy, so there is no way to separate post tags from each other without introducing hierarchy.
**However** , you could register a `city` taxonomy and declare that it's non-hierarchical. That's the primary difference between categories and tags. Categories have hierarchy, tags do not. Any taxonomy you register this way will have the same UI as tags.
For example, I registered a talk tag taxonomy for a CPT on my own site:
![enter image description here](
I just set `hierarchical` to `false` when I registered it.
In general, don't repurpose tags and categories for things, just register a new taxonomy, it saves a lot of trouble and makes your life easier. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WPML custom string translation get outside of container
I am trying to add a custom string to translate in wpml, but when I use the _e(...) the content jumps outside of container
if I use like this:
echo '<h1>' . $month . ' ' . $day . '</h1>';
the html is ok:
<h1>September 29</h1>
but if I use with translation like this:
echo '<h1>' . _e($month, 'simultan') . ' ' . $day . '</h1>';
the translated string jumps out of h1:
Septembrie<h1>29</h1> | When you use `_e` your echoing the translated string. But you already have an `echo` so just use `__(`.
This is the correct code for your example
echo '<h1>' . __('September', 'simultan') . ' ' . $day . '</h1>';
If you want to add variables in your translations you should use `sprintf` like this:
$date = sprintf ( __('%s %d', 'simultan'), $month, $day );
echo '<h1>' . $date . '</h1>';
You might want to also have a look at date_i18n function since you are translating dates.

1. **REST API:** Write a light script (nodejs or php) that creates fake data and sends to rest route to create posts. You can then use cron hit rest route for creating posts.

Is it possible to place a WordPress widget into the main page layout?
As the question suggests, can a widget be placed with the main body of a page rather than in a side-column?
I guess this is plugin-specific but generally, if the functionality is placed on a side-bar then does that "restrict" it to that section of the layout? | of course you can, you can place widgets wherever you want in your page:
1. Define them in a callback function in your functions.php file which calls the `register_sidebar()` function, and then hook that callback to the 'widgets_init' action hook, also in your functions.php file.
2. On the page where you wanna use it, wherever you wanna use it, print the widget with this code, by using the value you specified as the 'id' parameter when calling `register_sidebar()` in your callback:
<?php if ( dynamic_sidebar( 'id_of_ur_widget' ) ) : else : endif; ?>
Don't get distracted by the name of the function, `register_sidebar` doesn't mean that your widget is a sidebar, it's just the not-so-smartly chosen name of the wp function you use to create a custom widget. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WP_safe_redirect not working

However this is not working. The project categories are still going to `/project_category/[category name]/`. I can't tell if the **my_category_redirect** function is even being called.
Any help is much appreciated! | Your action callback probably gets called, but it could be that the if-statement that just fails. Are you using the default "category" taxonomy ( _i.e. Dashboard > Posts > Categories_) or a custom taxonomy ( _i.e. Dashboard > {my-post-type} > {my-taxonomy}_) as the project category?
If you're using a custom taxonomy, then you should use is_tax('my-taxonomy') instead of is_category() as the latter checks for the default category, not custom ones.
But, you can temporarily add a `die('it works');` to your callback also, before the if statement, to verify that it gets called. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

* Make sure you change all the URLs in the database from https to http for the specific site (use a plugin like Better Search Replace that has support for changing serialized data and take backup of your database before doing it!)
* If you're still getting redirected to https, make sure you don't have antivirus program installed that checks SSL certificates (I had Bitdefender's option on to check for SSL certificates)

But I'm wondering why I can't just call make a call to `\wp_timezone()` (escaped for namespace).
Is it because the file that contains that class hasn't loaded yet? | Thank you Tom J Nowell for the insightful comment above.
Turns out that wp_timezone is a _relatively_ recent addition to Wordpress, and didn't exist in the version of WP I was developing in. It was added, as the Changelog says, in `v5.3`. I was using `v5.2`.
The function itself:
function wp_timezone() {
return new DateTimeZone( wp_timezone_string() );
}
Simpy wraps the result of `wp_timezone_string` in a native php `DateTimeZone` object. The `wp_timezone_string` was also added in `v5.3`.
Since this is a brand new plugin, I'm not going to support older version of Wordpress. For pragmatic reasons, and in solidarity with the movement to encourage users to upgrade WP environments, I have also opted to not support versions of php (like `v5.6`) that are past their End of Life. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Cron jobs when running multiple instances on the same DB
I have a user using my plugin that has multiple AWS instances hosting WP and pointing to the same database. One of the jobs of my plugins is to run a large number of small jobs.
I was thinking of using `wp_schedule_single_event` to schedule the jobs but I'm not sure how that will work with multiple instances. Each job will have unique parameters so there won't be any duplication.
**Question** : Will each instance try to run the same job or will WordPress be able to resolve this so that each job is only run once? | > Question: Will each instance try to run the same job
Yes! If you have 5 machines running the same site, they'll all try to run the cron job. It'll be inconsistent, but if machine 1 triggers WP Cron and there's an event ready to run, and machine 2 triggers WP Cron, then machine 2 will also see that event if the timing is right and attempt to process it.
> or will WordPress be able to resolve this so that each job is only run once?
Nope, it can't. You can try adding a lock of sorts, but it can't fix the problem, only prevent it in some scenarios

What you really need is to disable WP Cron in your config and run it via a system level cron job on a single machine. Or better yet, install a cron service such as cavalcade | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to hide "You are now logged out" message on Wordpress login form?
**Expectation:**
I want to hide the login message that shows up on the Wordpress login form after a user has logged out. Added screenshot of the message that I am trying to hide.
<
Wordpress Version 5.4.2
Wordpres theme: Oceanwp 1.8.9
I have used the below mentioned code in the functions.php file of my theme.
add_filter( 'wp_login_errors', 'my_logout_message' );
function my_logout_message( $errors ){
if ( isset( $errors->errors['loggedout'] ) ){
return null;
}
return $errors;
}
**Error Recieved:**
I have provided the screen shot of the error that I have recieved.
<
Also, the login form isn't visible after user logout. | The cause of your error is that the filter receives and is expected to return a `WP_Error` object, `null` is not an error object.
We can confirm this via the docs, and enforce it via type hinting:
function my_logout_message( \WP_Error $error ) : \WP_Error {
Additionally, if your code had worked, all errors would be eliminated, not just the logout message. There would be no way to tell a user their password was incorrect, that a password reset email or a confirmation email was on its way, etc
With this in mind, the `WP_Error` say there is a `remove` method, so we can remove the loggedout error if it's present:
$error->remove( 'loggedout' );

How can I enable IDE integration (autocomplete) for WordPress test suite
When testing a theme or plugin, you can use WP-CLI to scaffold the test suite setup, `wp scaffold plugin-test plugin`.
So is there a good way to integrate an editor/IDE (VS Code in my case) so that autocompletion (method signatures, etc) works within the tests? Since the test library is installed in `/tmp/` the editor is not indexing those files and thus thinks classes and functions are missing. | In order of preference:
1. `composer require wp-phpunit/wp-phpunit --dev`. Depending on the IDE you use you might need to mark the package in `vendor/` as a source directory.
2. Each IDE allows you to add definitions from external libraries. In PHPStorm it's `Settings → Languages & Frameworks → PHP → Include Path`.
3. Just copy the files over to some directory in your project and exclude them with `.gitignore` (if you use Git for version control). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Wordpress JSON API nonces and Vue development server
As stated in the official docs, the JSON API CSRF protection only works from within Wordpress.
> It is important to keep in mind that this authentication method relies on WordPress cookies. As a result this method is only applicable when the REST API is used inside of WordPress and the current user is logged in. In addition, the current user must have the appropriate capability to perform the action being performed.
Which means anytime I start a Vue development server to build my Vue app, the API will refuse my requests, as there's no WP environment that could provide me with a nonce that I could then pass to the API. Anybody found a workaround for that problem? | For making authenticated API requests from a third party app, you'll need to install a plugin to give you different methods of authentication.
The most convenient but less secure is Basic Authentication: < it's appropriate for a local development environment.
This allows you to make authenticated requests by passing username and password in the body of the POST request.

Does Wordpress provide different levels of logging?
(I come from a Java development background, so please excuse my lack of PHP and WordPress knowledge.)
My understanding of logging in WordPress is that it must first be enabled in `wp-config.php` and then calls to `error_log()` can be seen and read.
But logging is not just about errors. It is very useful when developing and debugging to be able to log. For this reason many Java logging libraries (e.g. SLF4J) provide the ability to log at the following levels:
* TRACE (lowest)
* DEBUG
* INFO
* WARN
* ERROR (highest)
You can then configure the logging level that you wish to see in the log. For example when developing you would like to see DEBUG and above, but when running in production you probably just want to see WARN and above.
Is there something equivalent in WordPress? Logging everything as an error does not seem right. | Your understand is correct. WordPress doesn't have levels beyond Warning and Error from PHP.
Wonolog, a WordPress wrapper for Monolog, expands the default error logging into the levels you require. You can also expand the logging by adding your own custom debuging alerts and level. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Output all terms in a custom taxonomy and add a "active" class only to the ones attached to the current post
I want to output all the terms in my custom taxonomy and at the same time add a class to any of these that are attached to the current post.
I'm doing this in a custom shortcode that displays on each single post page.
I've used get_terms() to show all the terms in the taxonomy but I can't work out how to check if each term is attached to the current post.
$terms = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => 'package',
'hide_empty' => false
) );

echo '<ul>';
foreach ($terms as $term) {
echo '<li>' . $term->name . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
} | > how to check if each term is attached to the current post
You can do that using `has_term()` which defaults to checking on the current post in the main loop, hence you can omit the third parameter (the post ID).
So for example in your case:
$class = has_term( $term->term_id, $term->taxonomy ) ? 'active' : ''; // like this
//$class = has_term( $term->term_id, 'package' ) ? 'active' : ''; // or this

Advice on image heavy site, compression and slow page loads
I have a videogame fansite. By its nature it's image intensive.

How is the author's name given a different color?

ACF - Pick first or second value from comma separated values

But in some fields i have data in the form of comma separated values such as Fiery Red, Leafy Green, Sky Blue.
My current output works as follows.
Available Colors - Fiery Red, Leafy Green, Sky Blue
I want to achieve;
Available Color - Fiery Red
Available Colors - Fiery Red, Leafy Green
Thank you ! | You can use the `explode()` function to split a string into the array of values
So you have a string of colors, separated with a comma, where the comma is a delimiter:
$colors = 'Fiery Red, Leafy Green, Sky Blue';
Now use the `explode()` function (here is a link to the documentation) to convert it to the array:
$colors_array = explode( ', ', $colors );
As a result, you will get:
array(3)
(
[0] => string(9) "Fiery Red"
[1] => string(11) "Leafy Green"
[2] => string(8) "Sky Blue"
)
Now, when you have an array of values, you can display only the first value:
echo $colors_array[0];
or the first two elements:
