Site in subfolder - all pages work except home
Our WordPress site is in a subfolder `/subwp/`, and all pages except the home page work. This is the root folder:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subwp/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /subwp/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
When visiting the homepage (e.g. ` I get the hosting providers default site ('this domain is hosted by xyz'). All other slugged pages work perfectly.
Just to make sure that the hosting provider is not somehow auto redirecting requests to `/`, I created a file named `index.php` with just 'blah' in it, to see if it would work then, and then if I visit ` I see the text 'blah' (and also all other pages display blah now :))
I'm kinda stuck. Any ideas? | Because when you request the document root, the rule in `.htaccess` does not match and the request is not rewritten to the subdirectory. So the request falls through and whatever is the default response for the document root is served (eg. `/index.php` if it exists).
You need to add another directive to rewrite the homepage only.
(The first `RewriteRule` directive is not correct either.)
For example:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subwp/
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# Special case - rewrite requests for the homepage (which is also a directory)
RewriteRule ^$ index.php [L]
Since you are using `RewriteBase` you can remove the `/subwp/` prefix on the `RewriteRule` _substitution_ strings (that's the whole point of using `RewriteBase`). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Items from media library won't get added to a custom taxonomy
So I created 2 custom taxonomies and attached these to the media post type
![enter image description here](
for 2 types default products and season products and I used them for a special page on a site where the owner can upload pictures to show off what the owner has made.

Show code dependant on CPT & category
I'm currently using the following plugin on my WordPress website to show our up coming events:

Resize post thumbnail

Check if current page is using blocks (Gutenberg) or is legacy
Is there a way to know if a page is using Gutenberg or not?
The use case is migrating an old post to Gutenberg and letting crafted pages just render themselves with blocks but add some wrapping around old pages which probably won't be migrated since they're just text (Privacy policy and those). They need to coexist at least for a while.
A block editor page can usually be just rendered with
<?php
get_header();
while (have_posts()) :
the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;

Why Does The `auto_update_plugin` Hook Disable Management?
I'm working with the `auto_update_plugin` to update active plugins on a specific schedule. If the current time is between X and Y then the filter returns true and the plugin is allowed to auto-update.
The problem I'm running into with this hook is that the return value either enables or disables update management entirely. This means that by returning `true` I am unable to disable updates for a specific plugin as the "Automatic Updates" link is removed and replaced with text.
Why does this happen?
Is there a better hook to allow users to manage which plugins should auto-update while also being able to filter when it should auto-update? | The root problem here is a misunderstanding of the appropriate hook. `auto_update_plugin` does not control if automatic updates are enabled, but rather it's a filter to gain finer control over wether a specific plugin should auto update a specific update.
For example, if you want to enable or disable wether plugin auto-updating is possible, use the `plugins_auto_update_enabled` filter.
If you want to override a plugin and force it to auto-update or not update, use `auto_update_plugin` and inspect the second parameter, the format of which matches what the .org API at < would return | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is it good practice to use wpdb->query() function?
I am using custom php code to perform data insertion, deletion, updating and other tasks. I am able to insert data into a table in two different ways,
$wpdb->insert($table_name, array('id' => NULL, 'name' => '$name', 'email' => '$email', 'city' => '$city'));
and
$sql = "INSERT INTO $table_name VALUES('', '$name', '$email', '$city')";
$wpdb->query($sql);
Is it a good practice to use `wpdb->query()` function each time by passing my query to the function instead of using the dedicated functions like `insert()` and `delete()` etc? If not, what are the disadvantages of this approach? | If you look a bit into the source, you'll see that `$wpdb->insert()` will use `->query()` under the hood. So should be the same, right?
Not that simple. It doesn't just use `->query()` but also `->prepare()`, which is considered best practice. Meanwhile with your code example you've probably just opened yourself to SQL injections.
The takeaway here: If it is a simple operation and the `->insert()` etc. method work - use them. They're tested and contain little risk. Writing your own queries always carries the risk of opening yourself up to troubles such as SQL injections. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to persist custom posts, custom fields and styles on a Github repository?
I need to send a code to a third person through Github with custom posts and custom fields for them just add the posts.
I have tried to find this approach online but I could not find the answer since all of them just talk about version control between local and production WP.
I am using `MAMP`, `ACF` and `Custom Post Type UI` to develop the site, linking the custom fields to custom post. | ACF has two options for this:
1. PHP / JSON exports
2. acf-json
Method 1)
Go to ACF->tools->select field->export file / generate PHP.
If you choose generate PHP, you can copy the result into a .php file in your theme, which you then need to include. You cannot import PHP exports though ACF again: the fields will be available but you will not be able to edit them through the ACF UI.
If you choose JSON, you can import them again and edit them through ACF.
Method 2)
I prefer this method: create a folder called acf-json in your main theme folder. ACF will detect the folder and automatically save a copy of the fields as JSON files.
Whichever method you choose, make sure to add/commit any files created/changed to your repo.
Never used the Custom Post Type UI plugin, but I imagine it has a similar import/export capability.
Alternatively, you can also share an export of your DB, but there will be no version control for fields/etc. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Get HTTP response code on non-2xx apiFetch request
I'm using WordPress' apiFetch library to make requests (in WordPress admin dashboard) to my WordPress REST endpoints.

This is necessary since it allows me to differentiate between a "normal" error (like 404 if the resource asked for does not exist) and an "unexpected" error (like a 500 internal server error). | By default, apiFetch will parse the response for you automatically. You can get the raw response object by setting `parse` to `false` in the `apiFetch` option, e.g.:
const handleClick = async () => {
try {
const result = await apiFetch( {
path: '/your/path',
parse: false,
} );
console.log( result ) // you will see ok status (e.g. 200) in here.
} catch ( error ) {
console.log( error ); // you will see error status (e.g. 404 or 500) in here.

What is the alternative code to if (isset ($_POST) && !empty ($_POST) to avoid warnings?
I am trying to insert some php code to my WordPress website but it gives security warnings perhaps due to directly accessing `$_POST` variable.
Instead of `$name = $_POST['name'];`, I can use `$name = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'name');` however I am not able to figure out what alternative piece of code I should use instead of `if(isset($_POST) && !empty($_POST)) { //some code }`?
Thanks for your help in advance. | `filter_input` is the proper way to go. If it doesn't return anything valid, it will return `null`:
$myvar = filter_input( INPUT_POST, 'something', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
if ( empty( $myvar ) ) {
// Do whatever you would have done for ! isset( $_POST['something'] )
}
// Use $myvar
`filter_input` won't throw any notices if the requested index isn't found, so it's like having `isset` built-in to the function.
**Edit:** just be sure to use a `FILTER_` to sanitize or validate, and note there are some gotchas that are documented in PHP's documentation about these. For most general use-cases they should work fine, but always validate your user input appropriately once you have it (the same as you would when getting it directly from `$_POST`). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to get the latest posting time of archived pages in WordPress?
Is there a way to get the post time of the latest post under the WordPress archive page?
I would like to add a feature to the archive page to show the latest time of posts published under that category.
Any help, thanks in advance! | Query the posts ordered by date, restricted to 1 post to display, then get the date.

Header menu aligned right on all pages except for single-post page

Enqueued style gets commented if not logged in

'user_register' hook - need to distinguish if created from wp admin panel
Users are created in two ways in my application.
The registration form uses a gravity form hook to register the user and send to various api's.
But when creating a user from the admin panel, we use the '`user_register`' hook.
This causes a conflict because in the gravity form procedure , when calling `wp_insert_user()`, it triggers the '`user_register`' hook , interrupting the script which isn't finished saving the user to the api's.
So I would have liked a hook which is only triggered when run from the admin panel. Can this be accomplished? | You could use the `user_register` hook, then check if the user registration is happening from an admin interface with `is_admin()`:

Custom Plugin - Package and Deployment Solutions
We are a very small company working with a specific customer base. In this, we often have to create small WP plugins specific to the customer. Typically, we re-use our own basic folder structure and files (base php file that lays out some standard variables, assets folder structure for css and js files, installation/settings features templates, etc.).
We don't currently use anything that is "industry standard" or that will package, process, combine or minify our files for deployment (css, scss, js, etc.). Does such a thing exist? I'm familiar with the package/deployment of Vue/React and I'm curious is something similar exists for WP or if there are any standards for this?
I've done some research but can't seem to find a clear solution. | Sounds like you are trying to find a way to "build" your public assets - this is commonly achieved using Task Runners - Grunt or Gulp are two well-known examples.
Grunt is part of Node.JS, so you would need to download and install the node.js app and then find the packages you want to use - such as dart-sass for scss or uglify for minification of JS
The last step would be to config the gruntfile.js for your project or sub modules - how this works is very specific to you needs, but there are good examples available on the ` website.
As far as structure and distribution of your plugins, as these probably do not sit on wordpress.org - you need to find a way that works well for you - we use public and private repos on github, which gives us versioning via Git, a good CI pipeline, and also a good way to allow multiple developers to work on the same code base.

Do I need to re-register all my images in the media library after a migration?
I'm moving a 6+ years running WordPress site to a new (Azure VM / LEMP) server, taking the time to upgrade Ubuntu, Nginx, etc, and trying to clean up years worth of grunge. ~20 authors, 40k posts, 6+GB of images, etc. I'm moving things over manually, copying the uploads folder over, so the images aren't registered in the Media Library. I'm looking at some plugins to help, but am wondering if it's necessary to re-register all the old images into the Media Library? They're all properly linked in the posts, etc. So, wondering what kind of performance gains, if any, I would get from just not bringing (most of) the images back into the Media Library? Most of these will never be used again (the ones that will I will def get into the ML). Is it worth the bother? | Assuming your old site is still accessible, I would just go Tools -> Export and create an export file containing your media.
In the new WordPress server, import the file and select the option to "Download and import file attachments". (your old site needs to be public for this to work).
This seems to be good guidance: <
If you just copy the uploads folder, WordPress knows nothing about this and all your image references will be 404. Even if you import the media by dragging everything from your uploads folder from old site, they will have different IDs, so I would advice to follow the import method.
Once you have done this, you might want to use a plugin to find stale images and remove them. There probably is a performance gain from getting rid of image references that are somewhere in the database. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

My plugin has some options and prints a shortcode based on those options. Pretty standard stuff. | > Is there a generic way to support caching plugins? For example to set a flag after you update an option that caching plugins watch?
**No, there isn't.** On top of that, caching may not even occur in WordPress itself. E.g. Varnish, Cloudflare, etc
You will need to handle each plugin on a case by case basis.
The closest you might get, is that a caching plugin watches for post saves to update or invalidate cached results. But since you're writing a shortcode, there is no mechanism for flushing the cache in a generic way, or indicating that a page should not be cached in WordPress. This is because WordPress does not perform page caching, so all page caching plugins have bespoke unique implementations. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Removing the limit on the number of nested comments
Does anyone have a solution for removing the limit on nested comments?
I've found on a site I maintain that there are a few comments where no "Reply" button is visible and since worked out that this is due to the mxa nested comments being reached. It's already set the max setting possible in the WordPress settings (in the discussions settings page) which is 10.
There was a plugin that did this (< but it's not maintained and don't even want to try it. Has anyone found a proper fix to extend / remove this limit? | `thread_comments_depth` is the option you need to change, and while the dropdown gives you several predefined values, the option can store any value.

FireFox Inspector :: find CSS file related to <div>
I'm creating my new website and I would like to change the background colour. Through FireFox Inspector I nailed the CSS line that manages the colour, it's `background-color: #fff;`

I now have to change that `#fff` to `#f3f3f3` but I cannot find the right .css file. The .css files are 4:
* block-editor-style.css
* editor-style.css
* theme-help.css
* customizer-style.css
![enter image description here](
Inside those files I find several `background-color: #fff;` but none manages that header background.
Any idea what .css file manages the header background? | The inspector says "inline" which indicates that the CSS is not in a separate file, but instead is inside the HTML itself, probably in a `<style>` block at line 39 ( near the top ) - search the whole page source code for `#masthead` and you will probably find it.
If you want to know how it is being added to the theme HTML, you will need to search the entire project codebase for a unique string - again `#masthead` might bring good results.
**Update:**
Added grab of the source code of your website, showing line 25 where you will find the `#masthead` CSS selector, as described by Inspector - it is much further to the right - but the scroll bar is hidden, as the css is formatted into long lines.

Make the blog page a child of another page and rewrite the blog url
I am trying to make my WordPress blog page a child of another page and have the url structure reflect that. However, I also have other custom post type archive pages set up that should not be interfered with.

Hook to change the site URL
I am working on a WP system that is supposed to be served by multiple domains. For example, `foo.example.com` and `elpmaxe.com` point to the same installation. But depending on the URL, the system will conditionally serve a different landing page.

add_filter( 'site_url', 'wpse_381006_custom_site_url', 10, 1 );
function wpse_381006_custom_site_url( $url ){
if( is_admin() ) // you probably don't want this in admin side

How to override url params with rewrite rules vars?
**Setup a rule:**

} );
**Whitelist the query param:**

} );

`localhost/myparamname`
get_query_var('myparamname'); // hello
`localhost/myparamname?myparamname=hi` or `localhost/myparamname/?myparamname=hi`
get_query_var('myparamname'); // hi
As you can see, **" hi"** message is displayed instead of **" hello"** in the second example. Here, the desired situation is generally **" hello"**. | > **" hi"** message is displayed instead of **" hello"** in the second example
Yes, because that's how it works: `query_vars` is a hook for registering custom query vars that are _public_ , so if the URL query string contains the custom query var, then WordPress will set the query var to the value parsed from the query string.
> the desired situation is generally **" hello"**
You can override the query var via the `request` hook. E.g.
add_filter( 'request', function ( $query_vars ) {
if ( isset( $query_vars['myparamname'] ) ) {
$query_vars['myparamname'] = 'hello';
}
return $query_vars;
} );
Just be sure to use a unique query var or be cautious that you don't override query var that shouldn't be overridden. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I spin up a new website for a registered user automatically?
We have created a bunch of custom plugins at our agency, and the whole packaged website is like a 'product' at hand.
Is there a way to scale this in a way that we can give out a free trial, where when a user registers a new website gets spinned up as a duplicate of the original "product" under a subdomain?
At present we have a bash script that we run manually for a new user, and the 'product' site gets duplicated on a subdomain (which we create before running the script)
But I'm wondering if there is a way to automate this via API calls or something.
Alternatively, is multisite a better option to implement this? I have refrained from multisite as it doesn't let me copy plugin settings etc into a new child site, so setting up a child site from scratch is another pain to avoid
for me, StackExchange = hope! | The easiest way I have found to do this is to set up a Multisite installation with subdomain installs, and run the plugin "WP Ultimo" to manage signups. It does exactly what you're looking for: duplicates a template site on demand, and activates various plugins depending on which plan the customer has signed up for. You can offer a 30 day trial subscription for free, you can offer coupons, and Arindo has more recently integrated support for OpenSRS if you want to sell domains through your site. I am not affiliated with them, but I use their product and based on my experience I would recommend it to you. Best of luck!

Sidebar endpoint using WordPress API

No, I don't think there is. So (for now), using a custom REST API endpoint does sound like a good option to me.
> gives me the sidebar not in json format and then a json response with an empty `body_response`
That's because `get_sidebar()` echo the output, hence the `$response_body` is empty.

Thanks! | > run only on **posts** listed under one category
I highlighted that "posts" because if so, then the conditional tag you should use is `in_category()` and not `is_category()` which is for _category archive pages_ (e.g. `example.com/category/foo`) — so for example, `is_category( 93 )` checks if the current archive page is for the category (with the ID of) 93, whereas `in_category( 93 )` checks if the current post is in the category 93.
So try with:

That is the canonical way to insert a post and what the Classic Editor used to submit all of the post information at once.

How would you save such a repetitive data pair inside MySQL? | > How would you save such a repetitive data pair inside MySQL?
As separate key/value pairs, which is what you have already done.
The only situation I would reconsider this, is if you need to filter or search for restock posts via these IDs. If that is the case then I would use a private/hidden taxonomy where each term has the post ID as the slug. Post meta is not good for searches/filtering. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

custom functions in function file delete automatically daily
I have added some custom ajax calls and functionality on my WordPress site. I added code in function.php which is placed in wp_includes folder. It was working fine but from the last 2 weeks, my custom functions automatically removed from functions.php file. what is the solution of this? I am new to WordPress. Any help would be highly appreciable. | The simplest advice is that you should never edit what are generally know as `Core` WordPress files, that includes adding new files within the wp-includes and wp-admin directories.
The simple reason why this is not a good idea is that they are replaced when WordPres updates - deleting any changes or additional files - which I presume is the reason your files were also removed recently.
Instead, you should add changes to your own theme or a custom plugin - the theme is the easiest route in most cases, but again you should avoid to edit things you don't control, so don't edit a theme you have bought or downloaded, instead learn how to create a child theme which you can safely edit, knowing that your updates will not get lost.
Once you have your child theme - or custom plugin \- you can add your code there - in a theme the easiest place is inside the functions.php file | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a hook to update / replace values in the "Enable threaded (nested) comments x levels deep" drop down?
I know how to add a value here that is higher than the max of 10 that is allowed as default (change the value manually in the wp_options table for the value 'thread_comments_depth').
However if I change it in the DB directly the interface will override that value if I go into Settings/Discussions and alter anything else in that page.

Why does WordPress create two transients with the same name when I specify timeout value?
Working with transients with a timeout, I seem to be getting two transients created, and I don't quite understand why. Looking at the source code on: < it would appear this only occurs when wp_using_ext_object_cache() returns false.
My calls are:
set_transient( 'mytransientprefix_key', 'value', 3600);
and then I update the same transient with:
set_transient( 'mytransientprefix_key', 'new_value', 3600);
In the wp_options table, I'm then left with:
One **_transient_timeout_mytransientprefix_key** ("value") and **one _transient_mytransientprefix_key** ("new_value").
What? | Why WordPress creates two transients: Because the first transient with `timeout` in the name, is used for storing the expiration you set for your transient (but the stored value is a UNIX timestamp, not simply the value you passed like `3600`) so that WordPress knows when to delete your transient. As for the second one, it stores the actual transient value that you passed to `set_transient()`, i.e. the second parameter.
$key = 'mytransientprefix_key';
set_transient( $key, 'value', 3600 );
// That will create two options:
// _transient_timeout_mytransientprefix_key and
// _transient_mytransientprefix_key
var_dump(
get_option( '_transient_timeout_' . $key ),
get_option( '_transient_' . $key )
);
// Sample output: int(1611143902) string(5) "value"
So the value of the "timeout" transient shouldn't be `value` — try the above code and see how it goes? | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Hide category name but show posts

Wordpress 404 in development area
I have a live WP site, which I have taken a copy of and put onto a new server for testing / development.
Once I put the website on the new area I updated the site url and home url in the database, ensured the .htaccess file was showing correctly and everything in the wp-config was correct.
When I try and access a page which is not the **Home Page** or **wp-admin area** I get a 404 error.
I have tried resaving the permalinks, ensuring all urls in the database are the new servers ip's , and disabling each plugin one by one to see if there was any conflicts but nothing seems to work.
Is there something I am missing / any advice.

Two prefixes in database? Which one is valid?
I am trying to manually migrate an install and have come across this. My DB has some qfo_ prefixed rows and some wpaq_ prefixed rows. The qfo_ are all duplicates of the others (in other words, there is a qfo_commentmeta and a wpax_commentmeta, etc.).

Syntax for $wpdb->prepare when searching in two columns
I have this working statement for searching a single column in my database:
$foods = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT id, foodname, namevariations, calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium FROM foodsTable WHERE namevariations like %s", "%$search_text%"), ARRAY_A );
I would like to include another column in the search called "foodname" but I can't seem to figure out the correct syntax.
How should I formulate my prepare statement so that I'm searching "namevariations" OR "foodname" and a match in either column will select that row? | The part after `WHERE` decides which columns are searched.
So you need to change it this way:
$foods = $wpdb->get_results(
$wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT id, foodname, namevariations, calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium FROM foodsTable WHERE namevariations like %1$s OR foodname like %1$s",
'%' . $wpdb->esc_like( $search_text ) . '%'
),
ARRAY_A
);
Also you were using LIKE queries incorrectly. If the `$search_text` contained `%` character, it would be interpreted as wildcard and not as simple character. That's why I've added some escaping in your code. More on this topic here: How do you properly prepare a %LIKE% SQL statement? | stackexchange-wordpress | {
