Why is my page displaying small A+Japanese character icons?
I have a Wordpress page that, upon load, displays a couple small icons in the left margin. When I left-click on them, they disappear. When I right-click, they appear to be a local Mozilla image under a moz-extension://<hash>/icons/512.png Does anyone know what these are and how to make them go away? The icons do not appear in Chrome or Edge.
I am a Wordpress novice, so please bear with me.
![enter image description here]( | According to a path you provided `moz-extension://<hash>/icons/512.png`, this icon comes from Firefox translation extension. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Different number posts per page based on custom post type term id
Trying to cobble together a function from various suggestions that sets the number of posts per page based on the custom post type category in question. For instance, an "Alphabetical" category contains 3500+ posts, so I want pagination, but a child category "A" contains 100 posts and I want to show them all without pagination. The term_id for "A" is 1858, for "Alphabetical" is 1853. Can I check for specific term ids in a conditional? Not like this of course, which was just guessing...
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'limit_change_posts_archive');
function limit_change_posts_archive($query){
if ( is_archive && is_tax( 'pdsh_categories' ) && is_term( 1858 ) {
$query->set('posts_per_page', -1);
}
return $query; | You can achieve it with `pre_get_posts`. With your current code there are multiple syntax errors. You have write it this way
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'limit_change_posts_archive');
function limit_change_posts_archive($query){
if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_archive() && is_tax( 'pdsh_categories' ) && is_term( 1858 )) {
$query->set('posts_per_page', -1);
}
return $query;
}
As `is_term` is deprecated a different approach can be like this:
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'limit_change_posts_archive');
function limit_change_posts_archive($query){
if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_archive() && is_tax( 'pdsh_categories', 1858 )) {
$query->set('posts_per_page', -1);
}
return $query;
}
Again this above code needs to be tested. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Snippet displaying LearnDash parent course title with lesson title

Thumbnail is showing outside its div instead of inside it

How I can change the condition or compare operator for WP_Query in pre_get_posts

WP Core: Where are terms populated for the admin edit screen?
I am trying to understand how the Admin Tables are populated (for posts, users, plugins...).
With Terms/Taxonomies I am confused. In the _/wp-admin/edit-tags.php_ file everything is normal until we reach the `$wp_list_table->prepare_items()` method (where an `$args` is set up to later on go fetch data), but from there on I don't understand where the actual database query takes place.
Looking at the WP Users List Table's `prepare_items()` method, it's quite clear:
$wp_user_search = new WP_User_Query($args);
$this->items = $wp_user_search->get_results();
So I expected a similar approach for Terms, but looking at the WP Terms List Table class, you can find:
public function has_items(){
// todo: populate $this->items in prepare_items()
return true;
}
Which means that the items are loaded somewhere else. But where? | The items are loaded via `get_terms()` (see source on Trac) in the `display_rows_or_placeholder()` method which is called in the `display()` method which is called in `wp-admin/edit-tags.php` (see source on Trac). But the `$items` property is never populated with the terms. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Use of Folders within Wordpress
Is it possible to use folders within our WordPress site for the content such as pages/posts organization? Any issue in doing this?
We would like to use the folders to group related pages & content, so that we can set up tools (live chat, website forms, etc...) to route inquires to the appropriate departments based on which folder the inquiry was generated from, or being able to analyze the data in google analytics by folder.
I've been told this is not possible or creates problems with themes and other site management tools within WordPress, which doesn't seem correct to me.
Currently, all pages are located after the root domain such as acme.com/....
Ideally, we would like to organize our site like the example below.
acme.com/products/...
acme.com/services/...
acme.com/jobs/...
acme.com/about_us/...
acme.com/blog/... | There are no "folders" in the CMS as the content is stored in a set of database tables, unless your site is created with the content inside the templates and not the content editor.
A parent -> child page structure is possible and easy to organize. Simply assign the second level pages to a common parent for organizing as you detail in your question.
There is a good explanation of that relationship in the documentation here: < | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to put an array in is_category

Wordpress built-in compression of images? How well does it compare to Photoshop or Shortpixel?
I think the quiestion is pretty straight forward.
I have around 5000 images I want to upload. I need to compress them somehow, but how?!
Photoshop compression or use the built-in compression of new wordpress versions.
Like does Photoshop do anything better? Because the only thing I can see in Photoshop is basically the % of compression for jpg. It also offers a preview of the image but I don't really care nor need that for these types of images. I would do it in a batch either way.
So yeah, really? What is the difference and what would be beneficial in using the Photoshop compression or Shortpixel compression? | The only true answer to this is to try an image in all three and compare the results. Photoshop and Shortpixel are off topic here, but also change with time so any answer would be out of date. You will need to look at non-WordPress resources to figure out the best optimisation strategy.
**As for WordPress, it does nothing special as far as compression is concerned.** You can adjust the quality % value of resized images when they're JPEGs but that's it. _WordPress does not modify the uploaded image to try and optimise it._ | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Change permalink structure hidden button edit
I created the function below that changes the permalink structure of posts in a specific category. Everything is working, but the button inside the post to edit the slug is gone.
Print edit button image
;
function idinheiro_custom_permalink( $permalink, $post ) {
$category = get_the_category($post->ID);
if ( !empty($category) && $category[0]->slug == "negocios" ) {
$permalink = trailingslashit( home_url('/'. $category[0]->slug . '/' . $post->post_name .'/' ) );
}
return $permalink;
} | The `post_link` hook has a third parameter named `$leavename`:
> **$leavename**
> _(bool)_ Whether to keep the post name.
So what that means is, if `$leavename` is `true`, then the post name/slug should be kept in the permalink and thus it needs to contain `%postname%` (or `%pagename%` for the `page` post type) instead of being replaced with the actual post slug (or something else).
Because if that placeholder is missing, the permalink will become non-editable on the post editing screen, therefore the Edit button is disabled. (See `get_sample_permalink_html()`, specifically this part, and that function is the one which generates the post permalink editor)
So to fix the issue, define the variable: `function idinheiro_custom_permalink( $permalink, $post, $leavename )` and change the `'/' . $post->post_name .'/'` to:
'/' . ( $leavename ? '%postname%' : $post->post_name ) .'/' | stackexchange-wordpress | {

What's the recommended Gutenberg component for adding a URL, in the toolbar/sidebar?
I have a custom block that needs a URL attribute. I figured it made sense to set the URL in the sidebar or the toolbar, but I can't find a way to do it. I've tried:
**LinkControl**
Still experimental, and doesn't fit in the sidebar:
![enter image description here](
or toolbar:
![enter image description here](
**URLInputButton** / **UrlInput**
Doesn't fit in the sidebar or toolbar:
![enter image description here](
and the dropdown isn't happy in any case:
![enter image description here](
Is there a recommended way to do this? I've looked at the image block, but that seems to use its own special implementation of LinkControl. The RichText block does it inline, which won't work for me. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. | `UrlInput` uses `LinkControl` internally, but neither have been built with the sidebar in mind, they're to be used inside popover components that appear inline such as when a toolbar button is clicked.
They aren't intended to appear directly in toolbars either. Most if not all input components can't be shown in the toolbar, with the exception of buttons for obvious reasons.
If using this component causes overflow in the sidebar, then you need to report this as a bug in the Gutenberg Github issues as soon as possible so that it can be fixed.
Otherwise this is the closest you will find currently to a canonical post/URL selection input. I suggest for the moment that you print the URL value and show an edit button next to it that triggers a popover component containing the link control | stackexchange-wordpress | {

getEntityRecord without knowing the post type
In Gutenberg there's the `getEntityRecord` selector that allows you to get the data of a post of a specific post type:
// get the post object of a page with post id = 42
const post = useSelect( ( select ) =>
select('core').getEntityRecord( 'postType', 'page', 42 )
);
My question is, is there a similar selector for when you don't know the post type of a post beforehand? I have a meta field that stores an array of post ids of different post types and right now I'm unable to get the full post objects.
Any ideas? | > My question is, is there a similar selector for when you don't know the post type of a post beforehand?
No, at the current time of writing there is not.
The fundamental problem is that the REST API doesn't provide a generic mechanism for getting a post type given a post ID. You can retrieve a post and it will say `post` but to do this you need to know the type in advance to hit the correct URL.
Since the entity Record API relies on these endpoints, there technically are no post IDs. There's a page record with an ID, or a post record with an ID, etc
So if you want to do this properly, you need to either save the post type, restrict the types allowed for that meta field, or loop through the different entity types to see which ones return a 404 and which one doesn't. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How Can I Change Default Reply ToEmail
I want to set the SMTP settings manually instead of using a plugin. I did this using this resource. However, there is a problem. If the user clicks "Reply", a different e-mail appears. Probably I've described this before with the plugin. However, I cannot remove it. If I make a new definition as below, it creates a new reply e-mail. Therefore, the past is not erased. What I want: If the user clicks to reply to the incoming e-mail, only smtp_from e-mail should appear.
My Codes:
wp-config.php
define ('SMTP_FROM', '[email protected]');
...
function.php
add_action ('phpmailer_init', 'my_phpmailer_example');
function my_phpmailer_example ($phpmailer) {
$phpmailer-> From = SMTP_FROM;
//My new definition.
$phpmailer->addReplyTo('[email protected] ',' Information ');
...
} | Depending on your setup and other specifics to your use case, you may want to clear any previous reply addresses. You can do this with `$phpMailer->ClearReplyTos()`. For example:
add_action ('phpmailer_init', 'my_phpmailer_example');
function my_phpmailer_example ($phpmailer) {
$phpmailer->ClearReplyTos();
$phpmailer->addReplyTo('[email protected]', 'EXAMPLE');
}
Also, if your example code in your question is exactly what you're using, you need to be careful of a few things:
1. Make sure your variables are right. For example, the argument in your function is `$ phpmailer` <-note the space If you have it like that, that could be the source of your problem. Fix the space (i.e. `$phpmailer`)
2. The line for your `$phpmailer->AddReplyTo()` is commented out. Is that intentional? With the comment ("//"), that line will not doing anything. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Javascript embedded disappears for editors

`<script src=" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>`
We created a lower level of access for some specific editors.
For them the code embedded looses the script: after saving the page the code remains only made by the div
`<div id="buzzsprout-player-8580256"></div>`
Why does it loose the script?
What could we do to avoid this issue? | WordPress Multisite disallows the `unfiltered_html` capability for non-super-admin (ie, any users who are not capable of performing network administration). Anyone without the `unfiltered_html` capability will _not_ be able to save post content with disallowed HTML tags, including `<script>` tags.

Implementing a modal(lightbox) for all images in all post-gallery posts
I'm trying to make a photo gallery page for all my photos in my post-gallery post and have a modal open when you click on the photos. In the page there will probably be almost 100 photos and i'm not sure how to do this in a good way without duplicating the code for the modal 100x. I have considered using plugins but i'd doing this as part of making my own website and learning developing wordpress themes so i'd prefer if the solution is done with code.
Something Best practice solution for this situation would be great!
I would appreciate tips in how to do this! | i've found a solution for this using jquery. i set up an event that when you click on an image it opens a modal and gets the url of the image from the gallery and places it to the img tag in the modal. it works alright but it feels like a workaround atm | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Where does Wordpress get the theme name from to check for updates?
I'm using a customised version of a commercial theme, with a lot of stuff in it.
I've changed style.css to only have:
/*!
Theme Name: A quite unique theme name
Theme URI:
Version: 1.0.0
Description: Unique description
*/
Wordpress still finds an 'update' for the theme using the original name of the theme from the vendor. Wordpress says the current version is 1.0.0, which matches the style.css header.
Where is it getting the name from in order to look up the update?
Thanks! | It's the directory name.

Setting fallback (default) image to featured image block
I was trying to make a block based theme and encountered a problem trying to set a default featured image in case some posts do not have them.
Basically, we used to do this in php
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
} else { ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/default-image.jpg" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
<?php } ?>
But now with blocks, themes are html and all I can see is
<!-- wp:post-featured-image {"isLink":true} /-->
I couldn't find any other parameters here nor an if/else block so I could just add a plain html.
If anyone has done this, that would be of great help.
Thanks. | I don't know if you're still looking for a solution, but you can use the post_thumbnail_html filter in you php file to return a fallback; like so.

* Set the default image if none exists.

* @param int $post_id The post ID.

How to fix.
**P.S.** i use on all pages recent comments with Gravatar in the sidebar
Sorry for my English. | You don't check anywhere that you're viewing a comment when you use `get_comment_author();`. The `get_avatar()` function is used in a lot of places in WordPress; your code seems to assume it's _only_ in use on comments.
Try this (the code is untested, but should work, I think):
add_filter( 'get_avatar' , 'alt_name_avatar');
function alt_name_avatar( $avatar ) {
if ( null === get_comment() ) {
// This isn't a comment.
return $avatar;
}
$alt = get_comment_author();
$avatar = str_replace('alt=\'\'','alt=\'Avatar for '.$alt.'\' title=\'Avatar for '.$alt.'\'',$avatar);
return $avatar;
}
There doesn't seem to be a simple `is_comment()` check to see if we're viewing a comment, so I've chosen to test `get_comment()`, which will return `null` if we're not in a comment. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

the_content filter - checking the post

Having added the filter though, have discovered, the_content filter does not pass the post id or post into the function, so I cannot check the post to see if the conditions are met.
Can anyone suggest a way of doing this, without updating all the page templates? | You'll need to rely on the global post variable, or `get_post()`, which is essentially the same thing.

WordPress login doesn't work when using preview domain
We've recently moved providers for our WordPress website and can preview the website using `hosts.cx` or editing our hosts file to point at the new server IP address before we change the A records for our domain to point at the new website.

Does WordPress do anything / have any sort of configuration that could cause this?

Thank you for your help. | Child themes let you override templates loaded via WordPress' template loading mechanism, e.g. `get_template_part` or the main theme templates such as `index.php` and `single.php`.
_**But they can't be used to replace arbitrary PHP files or assets.**_
If a theme loads a template file using `require` or `include`, WordPress cannot intercept this and replace it with a child theme version.

How to choose between hooking into per_get_posts or into parse_query
In refactoring my code base I noticed there are two hooks that used for modifying the main query.
* `parse_query`
* `pre_get_posts`
From the Plugin API Reference it seems these hooks fire back to back and both have access to the main WP_Query object. I need to know how they are different in order to determine which one is the proper choice for my needs. The developer docs for parse_query and pre_get_posts don't provide sufficient information to answer this question.
The code that uses `parse_query` is based on an article on filtering admin listings based on a custom fields. | I'm looking real hard at the code around both hooks, and they run one right after the other, with the same arguments, and I just can't see any meaningful difference.
_Theoretically_ only `parse_query` would run, and not `pre_get_posts`, if `WP_Query::parse_query()` were to be run directly on its own, but WordPress itself never does that. Maybe some plugins do, but I don't know why they would. Near as I can tell there's no technical reason to use one over the other, but `pre_get_posts` is newer, much more widely used, and much better documented, officially and by third parties. I suspect `parse_query` is somewhat vestigial.
I'd suggest using `pre_get_posts`. Any code you see using `parse_query` should work as-is with `pre_get_posts`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

prev/next post links with custom query
is it possible to use a custom query instead of taxonomy in previous_post_link()? Or do I have to build the prev/next links completely custom if I want to use them with a custom query?

Gutenberg dynamic block render_callback gives null for $post
I am trying to get the current post ID in the `render_callback` function to generate related posts. However, the `global $post` object gives null.
I use this code for example from here:
add_action( 'init', function() {
register_block_type('fc/related-posts', array(
'render_callback' => function() {
global $post;
var_dump($post); // null
}
));
});
It will be fired on `init` but just `$wp` object works others like `$wp_query` or `$post` are null. | When you declare your block, you need to tell WP that it needs context, either by using `usesContext` in JS/JSON or `uses_context` in PHP.
E.g in PHP:
'render_callback' => 'render_my_block',
'uses_context' => [ 'postId' ],
This value then takes an array of context identifiers, e.g. `postId` which can then be grabbed in the edit component for rendering, or in PHP at runtime:
function render_my_block( array $attributes, string $content, $block ) : string {
$post_id = $block->context['postId'];
If you do not declare that your block requires the post ID then `$block->context['postId']` will have no value. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Get term by slug in Gutenberg

const term = useSelect( ( select ) =>
select('core').getEntityRecord( 'taxonomy', 'category', 25 )

Is there any way to get list of all possible filter hooks for all post types?
I would like to code a plugin that injects the custom content to any type of post (post, page, product, any others) but I would like to allow the users to let them select the place of content too. Such as; before/after the title, before/after the content, before/after the comment section, and all other possibilities (e.g. `the_content_more_link` filter etc).
As you know, there are many plugins, themes, custom post type plugins that they create their own custom filter hooks (e.g. Woocommerce creates many filter hooks like `woocommerce_get_price_html` etc.)
I would like to know that is there any way to get the list of filter hooks (can be used for content placement/injection) for any post type? So I can offer these places (filter hook places) to the users for adding the content. | Not automatically.
You don't know a filter exists until something tries to add it or runs it, and you have no guarantee what that filter is for without docs or a human being to describe it.
You can do this by hand for core itself as it's well documented what the filters are, but there isn't a generic way to do this for 3rd party plugins/themes that provide custom filters.
A particular plugin _might_ use filter names that are consistent enough to guess things but you would need to identify and cater to that plugin on a case by case basis.
You also have no way of knowing which filters are for frontend HTML. For example, code that tries to do this automatically might pick up filters for saving content or sending API requests that then break things. A lot of filters also run on both the frontend and the admin. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WP-CLI media import error
I'm trying to import a JPG to my uploads folder using WP-CLI (macOS). I'm connected to the server, I can update and activate plugins, successfully navigate to all folders, etc.

wp media import /Users/d.j./Desktop/cat.jpg
I get an error:
Warning: Unable to import file '/Users/d.j./Desktop/cat.jpg'. Reason: File doesn't exist.
Error: No items imported.

Any ideas as to why I would get this error?
edit: I should add that it works fine when I use my local server. | I figured it out, with some help. You have to be on the same server where the files are located to use wp media import. The steps are:
1. Log out of ssh connection
2. Log into the remote server using sftp
3. Upload the files using sftp, then log out
4. Log back in using ssh
5. Then you can use `wp media import`

_`init` is too early_ — if you look at the WordPress query overview on Codex, `init` is (as of writing) the second step, whereas `is_` variables like `$is_page` (or `WP_Query::$is_page`) that are used by conditional tags like `is_front_page()` are only set in step 4, so instead of `init`, you should use a later hook like `wp` or `template_redirect`:
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'save_landing_page_slider' );
So in order for conditional tags to work properly, make sure to call them in the right hook or place.
Additionally, you should also understand when would `is_front_page()` return true, e.g. when your homepage is set to a static Page, and that you're on the homepage. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to fill custom fields with brackets in their key with add_post_meta()?

'post_content' => "content",

'post_author' => 1,
);
$remote_id = wp_insert_post($my_post);
echo $remote_id;
add_post_meta($remote_id, "_schema_article[headline]", "aaa", true);
how can I create something like this JSON-like example above with `add_post_meta` or other WordPress functions? | This is the PHP serialization format, and is used to serialize arrays for storage in the database. Core WordPress functions take care of this process for you. You just need to use an array as the value.
For example, this:
$schema_article = array(
'headline' => 'aaa',
);
update_post_meta( $remote_id, '_schema_article', $schema_article );
Will save this value:
a:1:{s:8:"headline";s:3:"aaa";}
If you want to see the original array for a value, `get_post_meta()` will unserialize it for you.
For example, this:
$schema_article = get_post_meta( $remote_id, '_schema_article', true );
Will return (as seen via `var_dump()`):
array(1) {
["headline"]=>
string(3) "aaa"
}
So when saving the value you need to mimic the original array format. I would share what that is for your example, but it cannot be unserialized because it has been corrupted by editing the value by hand. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to set a custom post type as home page and set post page to regular post?
I am trying to create a child theme where I have created a custom post type i.e "art". I want to display all CPT posts to the homepage with pagination and the regular post to the post page.
Currently, I set **Your latest posts** reading settings and add an action that will show my all custom post type at home page.
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_cpt_to_homepage' );
function add_cpt_to_homepage( $query ) {
if ( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() )
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'art' ) );
return $query;
}
But my question is, is there any way to show my regular post on a different page? | Yes, there is a way to show your regular posts on a different page.
1. Create a new page template
2. Include a new `WP_Query` using `post` as the `post-type`. Example
3. On the backend, create the page you want to use to display your posts
4. In the options, select your new page template for the page
5. Your posts should appear on the new page | stackexchange-wordpress | {

how to fix a codeblock group width in wordpress edit
I am new developer to wordpress, so please forgive the basic question.
I have a problem with width of a column group.

Theme author.php transfer
Can I move (copy) a author.php of a theme of my website to another different theme author.php file. I would like to have the author template on another theme. Is this possible? | You technically can, but you probably won't get the full results you're looking for. The PHP won't contain the styling, and it may contain different CSS classes than the second site's theme uses, meaning things won't look the same.
The other issue you're likely to run into is that if you put a file directly into a theme, then whenever you update that theme, your author.php will be overwritten. Anytime you make changes, unless you're using a totally custom theme already that won't be updated by anyone else, it's best practice to create a child theme.
So, to use one theme's author.php on another site, you will want to:
1. Create a child theme
2. Copy the author.php file into the child theme
3. Copy the styles that affect author.php into the child theme
4. And, most likely, do some additional CSS and/or author.php updates (such as changing div classes) so that it both keeps the look and feel from the old site, and also matches the new site. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Woocommerce : How to automatically input the same email for every order?
I use wordpress and woocommerce to sell online courses. also I use "digits" plugin to make users able to order and create accounts using only their mobile phone numbers and therefore, email is not needed and I have removed email field from checkout using "checkout filed editor" plugin.
But woocommerce creates download links based on user emails, therefore download links are invalid for users after they buy something and want to download it. because of that, I have to manually add an email like "[email protected]" to every order and revoke download links of that order to make download links work.
* * *
**the question is :** how to automatically add "[email protected]" to email field of every order when users order something? | In order to achive that you only need two woocommerce filters.

The second argument should be a value of type `callable`. `callable`s are a fundamental type in PHP.
E.g. these are some valid callables:
Value | Equivalent
---|---
`'test'` | `test()`
`[ $obj, 'test' ]` | `$obj->test()`
`[ 'foo', 'bar' ]` | `foo::bar()`
`function() {...}` or closure | `$foo = function(){...}; $foo();`

Woocommerce : Add name filed of checkout page to buyers wordpress display name
We use woocommmerce to sell online courses. also we use a plugin called "Digits" to help users easily login/register using only their mobile phone numbers and OTP sent to them as sms. So the login/register in our website, just requires entering mobile phone number (no name filed for registeration).
This process makes users able to create account and login much easier with only their number but it creates some problems.
**the problems are :** 1 - We need the phone number field of digits plugin, to be submitted as woocommerce phone number checkout field on every order (we have removed phone number field in woocommerce checkout because users who order something, have already registered with their phone number using digits plugin)
2 - We need name field of woocommerce checkout form to be set as users display name of wordpress account after every order. | The second part of the problem is solved by putting this code into theme's functions.php file :
// First name as default display name
add_action( 'profile_update', 'set_display_name', 10 );
function set_display_name( $user_id ) {
$data = get_userdata( $user_id );
if($data->first_name) {
remove_action( 'profile_update', 'set_display_name', 10 ); // profile_update is called by wp_update_user, so we need to remove it before call, to avoid infinite recursion
wp_update_user(
array (
'ID' => $user_id,
'display_name' => "$data->first_name"
)
);
add_action( 'profile_update', 'set_display_name', 10 );
}

How can I wrap all blog posts image with <picture class="c-picture">
Excellent WordPress programmers, I'd like to resolve an image issue with my WordPress theme. I tried everything I could, but I couldn't find a solution.
The issue is that my added blog posts images are not responsive. While my feature image is responsive since it has the tag `<picture class="c-picture">`. If I add `<picture class="c-picture">` manual to the images it, fixes it.
Example:
<picture class="c-picture"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-160 size-full" src=" alt="" width="2048" height="2048" srcset=" 2048w, 300w, 1024w, 150w, 768w, 1536w, 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" data-recalc-dims="1"></picture>
So my question is, can I have a function that will add `<picture class="c-picture">` to all blog posts images. Thank you, guys. Post link: < | I think in your case you can do it using css by adding the **height: auto;** to image tags:

How can I remove the Wordpress-Version (?ver=5.x) from my plugin

$location = get_option('location_select');
$url = ' . esc_html($location) . '.domain.com/js/script.js';
wp_enqueue_script('myID', $url, array('jquery'), false, true);
}
This puts out the script correctly, but I still have the version (?ver=5.8) at the end. The false should avoid that, afaik. What am I missing? | Change the 4th parameter from `false` to `null`.
wp_enqueue_script( 'myID', $url, array( 'jquery' ), null, true );
From the `wp_enqueue_script()` documentation:
> **$ver**
> (string|bool|null) (Optional) String specifying script version number, if it has one, which is added to the URL as a query string for cache busting purposes.

What happens if I don't update my plugins?

Google credentials and redirect URI for Google OAuth2 in a WordPress plugin, questions

1. Instruct them how to create an app and which URLs to use to be compatibe with what you expect in the plugin, have a setting page at the wordpress admin in which they can either upload the secrets file or configure the app secrets. This option is easy for you hard for the user.
2. Setup a proxy. Your plugin actually comunicates with the proxy and the proxy does the relevant API access, handles oauth redirects from google etc. This options is easy for the user but complicates your development, might cost you if you don't have a place to host such a thing, but the biggest thing is the quota limits of google as you will be responsible to pay when you pass the free tier, or your code will need to keep track of the usage and stop before you pass the free tier. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Can wp_strip_all_tags be used as a substitute for esc_url, esc_attr & esc_html?
`esc_url, esc_attr & esc_html` are used to escape content that is untrusted so that potentially malicious code isn't executed. Can `wp_strip_all_tags` be used as an alternative? If not, why? | Not necessarily. They do different things. `wp_strip_all_tags()` strips HTML tags from a given string, but that's not the only reason you escape things. `esc_attr()`, for example, ensures that `"` characters are escaped so that a value doesn't break HTML attributes.
For example, if I have a variable whose value is the string `my-"class`, and I want to put it into an HTML attribute:
$my_class = 'my-"class';
echo '<div class="' . $my_class . '"></div>';
The resulting HTML will be:
<div class="my-"class"></div>
Which is invalid HTML, because the `"` in my value has closed the HTML attribute. `wp_strip_all_tags()` will not help you here. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
