Same WooComerce shop for different WP sites?
I have a WooComerce Shop in one of my WP sites. Is there any way to make my other WP sites have this same shop, keeping their own themes? I have no multisite.
If I add one product to the shop of my main site, the rest should be updated.
I use _WC Ajax Product Filter_ plugin also.
Update: I have already tried _Multisite_. But seems like it uses subdomains. In my case I have 3 differents wordpress sites that need the same shop. | Multi site will not solve your problem. Cause **_WooCommerce_** takes each site of multi site as a individual site. As far I understood you problem could be solved by using API's and which need a heavy modification. Each site of user will communicate between them through API's. When any of the product will be added or deleted or modified it will send a request to all other sites through API and they will update themselves. But as I said earlier it needs heavy modification. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to interfere to default search to make it search in custom fields?
I'm trying to interfere default WP search (`?s=`) to make it search through posts custom fields.
Firstly I'm trying to debug my search with this piece of code in `functions.php`:
function add_search_in_custom_fields( $query ) {
$query->set(
'post_type', 'my_post_type',
'meta_query', array(
array(
'key' => 'my_key_title',
'value' => 'my_value_title',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
return $query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_search_in_custom_fields' );
What's strange - that I'm getting all posts (with `my_post_type`) - doesn't matter if there is `value` or not in posts custom field.
Seems like `$query` doesn't look at `meta_query` parameters at all.
Any ideas? | You are getting all post because you didn't pass meta query correctly. Try this below code
function add_search_in_custom_fields( $query ) {
// check the query type.
if ( $query->is_search ) {
$meta_array = array(
array(
'key' => 'my_key_title',
'value' => $query->query_vars['s'] ,
'compare' => 'LIKE',
),
);
// set meta query.
$query->set('meta_query', $meta_array);
};

wp_redirect () doesn't work in nginx?

The Redirection plugin works fine and it looks like is using wp_redirect, so there something wrong with my code | It should not have worked on apache as well. `wp_head` is too late to make a redirect as there is already some output sent at that point and php will not send the http headers required for the redirection.

How to disable site title and description when custom header is uploaded on the customizer?

strip only specific tags (like <p>), but keep other tags (like <br/>)
I know it's easy to disable Wordpress from adding both `p` and `br` tags with:
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );
but I want Wordpress to keep adding `<br>` where there is a line break. I only use text editor, visual editor is disabled. It was working fine until the recent update to Wordpress 4.7 - now it is adding some closing `p` tags, without opening them like `</p>` .
even tried this plugin but it disables br tags as well.
Any way of just disabling `p` tags not `br` tags in post content? I can't find anything on the internet that says something about a solution. | You'd better never disable those actions (what you say). Instead, insert `add_filter('the_content', 'MyFilter', 88 );` and create such function:

How To Remove Duplicate Menu Locations
I am creating some menus but when I go to the menu dashboard It shows up as "Nice Name" and the 'Menu Name' does anyone know how to prevent this or remove it? I attached photo to illustrate what I mean:
;
function register_menus(){
// This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in one location.
register_nav_menus(
array(
'primary-nav', __( 'Primary Menu'),
'footer-nav', __( 'Footer Menu')

if(has_nav_menu('primary-nav')){

array(
'theme_location' => 'primary-nav',
'container' => 'nav',

How do you add a link in the description of one section of the customizer to another section in a different panel?
I want to add a link like the one that currently exists in the Menu Locations sections of the customizer that says "You can also place menus in widget areas with the Custom Menu widget." The "widget areas" text link automatically opens the Widget panel without refreshing the whole page. How can I duplicate that functionality for whatever section?
Here is a screenshot:
![customizer link to widget area]( | The relevant line that generates that link in `wp-includes\class-wp-customize-nav-menus.php` is
$description .= '<p>' . sprintf( __( 'You can also place menus in <a href="%s">widget areas</a> with the “Custom Menu” widget.' ), "javascript:wp.customize.panel( 'widgets' ).focus();" ) . '</p>';
and the more relevant part of it `javascript:wp.customize.panel( 'widgets' ).focus();" )`
so it seems like the key for having this kind of functionality is to know the name of the panel... now for sections there is no explicit example in core but might be worth trying to use `javascript:wp.customize.section( 'your section name' ).focus();` as the href of the link | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is the Wordpress REST API installed and enabled in a vanilla Wordpress 4.7 installation?
I've just installed Wordpress 4.7. One of the mentions in the announcement is that it features a REST API.
My understanding is:
* The Wordpress REST API plugin is not needed anymore, because supposely it has already been merged with core in Wordpress 4.7.
* The Wordpress REST API is enabled by default
However, I notice that in a vanilla Wordpress 4.7 install, none of the endpoints seems to work (for example `
How can I tell if the new REST API is really activated? Can the REST API be enabled or disabled with the vanilla Wordpress UI, or should I install a third party plugin to do so? | 4.7 has it enabled by default. The easy way to check if it is working is just to visit the example.com/wp-json url, and you should get a list of registered end points there
There is no official option to disable it as (at least there was a talk about it not sure if it got in the release), some core functionality depends on it.
The most obvious things to check for if it is not working is your htaccess rules, and do you have a wp-json directory
Also, if `/wp-json/wp/v2/posts` type URLs don't work for you, but `/?rest_route=/wp-json/wp/v2/posts` does, it means you need to enable pretty permalinks in the settings (suggested by Giles Butler in comments below). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Category shows only top level child categories

>
> Parent
> -Child
> --Child 2
> ---Child 3
> Parent 2
>
When someone clicks on _Child_ it should show only _Child 2_. This code now shows both _Child 2_ and _Child 3_ when someone clicks _Child_. | `'depth'` is not a parameter for the function `get_categories()`; to get only direct child categories, try working with `'parent'` instead of `'child_of'`

WP_Query infinite Loop

Unable to display Wordpress admin bar in the frontend as an admin
I've inherited a Wordpress multisite install. I'm in the process of redesigning several of the subsites and I've noticed that Wordpress is not displaying the admin bar in the front-end, even as an admin.
Initially I thought it was a theme error so I went ahead and changed to a stock Wordpress theme such as twenty fifteen. This didn't work.
Then I thought it could be a plugin issue so I disabled all plugins as well. This didn't work either.
Then I also check if in the user profile I had the show toolbar option enabled, and it is.
Wordpress, themes and plugins are up to date.
I'm 100% sure it's not a plugin or theme problem, because I am not able to see the admin bar in any of the subsites. Thing is I've ran out of ideas regarding what it could be.
Any ideas what could be wrong? | This has to do with the core WordPress functionality when you're working with Multisite and the basic functionality of browser cookies - it's a security issue.
The WP core team made the decision to set user login cookies for the admin area to be based on the main multisite install. If you want to be logged in on the sub-sites, then you'll need to log in to each of them individually.
It kinda sucks, but it's a bit of a security concern, since WP doesn't know how your multisite is set up, and if they make an assumption about it, then it could be the wrong assumption and therefore opens up a security hole. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

CSS for menu item added via functions.php

}
return $items;
}
My problem is, that the styling is different to those item added in the wp-admin backend. I have tried a few things according to WP Menu Item CSS Classes, but still got problems with the classes. Help would be great. Thank you very much! | Normally, menu items are rendered as an `<li>` tag with an `<a>` tag inside. You could simply wrap `$todaysdate` in an anchor so that this item will be styled like the others:
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','add_todaysdate_in_menu', 10, 2);
function add_todaysdate_in_menu( $items, $args ) {

$todaysdate = date('l jS F Y');
$items .= '<li class="menu-item menu-item-date"><a>' . $todaysdate . '</a></li>';
}
return $items;

To keep the item from showing a hand cursor when hovering, add this CSS:
.menu-item-date a:hover {
cursor: default;
/* Other styles for hovered date item */
}
Alternatively, you could leave out the `<a>` tag wrapper and create styles for `.menu-item-date` to make this item look like the others, but that might be more work. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

PHP Coding Standards, Widgets and Sanitization
I have an issue with custom widgets and WordPress Coding Standards. When you create a custom widget, your class should have a "widget" method that will display the widget. Something like:

public function widget( $args, $instance ) {
echo $args['before_widget'];
?> <span><?php echo esc_html( 'Great widget', 'text-domain' ); ?></span> <?php
echo $args['after_widget'];
}
?>
While this is perfectly functional, this will not pass PHP code sniffer tests with WordPress coding standards because `$args['after_widget'];` and `$args['before_widget'];` are not escaped...
What am I doing wrong? | These arguments contain arbitrary HTML and cannot be properly escaped. This is essentially a limitation on how Widgets code was designed and you can see in core Widget classes that no escaping is done on these.
Lessons to learn:
* WP core doesn't consistently adhere to its own coding standards (and getting there isn't considered worth targeted effort);
* passing around chunks of HTML is bad idea, in your own code pass _data_ and render appropriately with proper escaping. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Functions For Calling Specific Elements
The php functions `get_header()` and `get_footer()` both call the _header.php_ and _footer.php_ files.
Could I create a page like _element.php_ and have a function call it (like `get_element()`), where I would have it on the pages that I use that function, but not others, or is this not possible? I searched the documentation, but I don't think I know the official name for what I'm looking for - in essence a function that calls an element for some pages. | It sounds like `get_template_part()` would do the trick.
In `element.php` you could simply call `get_template_part( 'element-item' );`, which would then include the `element-item.php` file from your theme.
You could wrap this up in a function if you wanted to, e.g. `get_element()`.
function get_element() {
get_template_part( 'element-item' );
}
This approach would allow you to add logic into the `get_element()` function so that it only gets the template part under certain conditions and it would keep the `element.php` template from our example cleaner since the logic would be bundled up in `get_element()`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Does WordPress Strip Away the WWW from a Web Address
I installed a website and apparently the external DNS all worked fined to access the site: <
The problem was that internally, when on their network, they couldn't access the site, which I wasn't sure why as they kept on getting the error: Could not resolve DNS server.
Eventually their network guy came back to me and told me that they solved it as apparently WordPress was stripping away the www from their URL.
My question is, does WordPress actually strip away the www?
If so, do I need to set the Site (URL) to actually be: < as apparently he tells me that this is not ideal practice?
I have installed alot of WordPress sites and in the Site (URL), I have never included the www at the beginning.
Would appreciate your help. | Wordpress will always redirect to the canonical URL of the content if you try to access a page not with its canonical url. If you installed wordpress without using a `www` then wordpress will assume that the root url for the install is without `www`. Or in other words, wordpress is not actively removing `www`, it is just a by-product of eliminating possibility of duplicate content.
As for whether you should use `www` or not, frankly this is the first time in the last 15 years I have heard of anyone that do not treat them the same..... but if he is responsible for your pay check, you can just change the "site url" and "home url" options in the general setting to have `www` and probably nothing more than that. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

I'm having a problem with icons not showing in my WordPress site. As you can see in the attached image some of the icons in the admin bar aren't showing. The same is also happening in parts of the theme. See here: < (Look under "Share this product").
Do you know why is this happening?

Call get_template_part() custom permalink
How to call `get_template_part()` with custom permalink, I use childTheme from twentytwelve. In my theme I want to call popular post with `get_template_part()`.
ex. If I call link http: //domain.com/popular I want to show file `popular.php` (location: childtheme-name/popular.php)
please help. | Mapping of URL directly to a template file you describe (mapping URL to a file) is quite rare technique in WordPress, sometimes called _static pages_.
It is rare because in general that's not how WordPress works. It works by mapping URL to query variables to WP_Query to template hierarchy to template file. Going from URL to a file skips a lot of mandatory steps.
The low key implementation would be to create a page and make your file a custom page template for it.

Changed from HTTP to HTTP, can login no longer login
I changed my whole website to `https` from `http`.
Now I can no longer log into my admin area. I always get a redirect loop. I changed my WordPress URL in "General settings" to `https`, how can I solve this problem and how can I manage to log in again? | Sounds like you don't have HTTPS set up correct. To revert back to HTTP and regain access to your admin area, do the following:
1. Go and download Interconnect IT's Database Search & Replace Script here
2. Unzip the file and drop the folder where your WordPress is installed (the root) and rename the folder to **`replace`** (screenshot)
3. Navigate to the new folder you created in your browser (ex: ` and you will see the search/replace tool
4. In the " _search for…_ " and " _replace with…_ " fields:
* **Replace** : ` (from HTTPS)
* **With** : ` (back to HTTP)
You can click the _dry run_ button under _actions_ to see what it will be replacing before you execute the script. Once you're done be sure to remove the `/replace/` folder.
Additionally, you can also look into using the Remove HTTP plugin which automatically scans your website and removes both HTTP and HTTPS protocols from your URL links. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How do I access post_meta key with php?

If there is no such post_meta key, then "display: block";
If the post_meta key exists, and its value is 1, then "display: none";

Has is_archived() for sites in a multisite changed with WP 4.7?

query_posts based on a meta_key

Does anyone have a visual breakdown of core hooks and when they are fired?
The title says it all really.

WP in Docker - cannot install plugin or upgrade WP
For development purpose, I need to setup an installation of WordPress in a docker container.

Everything is working well, with all the security and optimisation. But the tutorial is based on WordPress 4.5.2. And when everything is setup I cannot upgrade WordPress because of some permission denied. Of course I modified by myself the Dockerfile to get WordPress 4.7 but I will not be able to do the future upgrade.
Also if I need to install a plugin, it fail because it cannot create the folder in my volume. If I `mkdir -p` the folders everything is working fine.
Here the GitHub with all the files.
So I think everything is linked but I cannot fix it. Any idea ? | The problem, as the error description indicates, is permissions. Based on that tutorial, nginx is running under the `www-data` user, but WP folders are owned by `deployer`. If you change the ownership of your $WP_ROOT to www-data:www-data, you will find that you can update your WP. I'm not amazing at security, so there may be a better way, but this one will work to get it updated. In the comment of the tutorial, they made this security change on purpose, so maybe it's not a good idea. Not sure on that level of detail.
On top of this change, this update will not persist if you power down the docker instance. You'll have to update your WP instance each time you restart the container. It might make sense to put the WP files into a volume so that WP can update the files as necessary, and that they persist. This would make sense also since the DB persists, and is part of the upgrade anyway. But these decisions on security are above my pay-grade. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

PHP in post content

Custom posts template page

How do I convert my WordPress website to be domain agnostic?
If my website changes domain or protocol, the entire code base does not have to be updated. That is my desired result. More specifically, I want to add a php function to my child theme to convert all http requests to https automatically. I was given some docs to get started but I realize I have too many questions at this point. Can someone help me out?
Cheers BJ
<
< | Normally you never have to use your domain in your php code for plugins / themes. There are many functions like `get_home_url()` which automatically fetches the domain from configuration and is also protocol agnostic if you don't force a protocol via the third parameter `$scheme`.
The function `get_home_url()` internally uses `is_ssl()` and the option value for `home` to decide which protocol to use. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Check if a post has any term in this custom taxonomy?

if ( has_taxonomy('genre') ) {
// whether it's jazz, blues, rock and roll; doesn't matter as long as the post has any of them.
} | You can have the term input empty, e.g.

// do something

array( $postid )
);
$info = $wpdb->get_results($sql);

Once you have the rows all setup, check the settings for the rows. Depending on your version of Visual Composer there might be an option to "align row content". Normally the options for this are "top, middle, bottom". | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Accessing Custom Fields on Pages
I'm wondering how to get at custom field information attached to a page, not a post.
Using get_post_meta seems like the right idea, but I don't know how to tell the function to look at page ids and not post ids. Also it's no clear to me if this function can work outside the loop.
A short piece of code showing how to access the page custom field would be really useful. | Sometimes WordPress is criticized treating everything as a `post`.

But if you still want something specific to Pages, you can use:
if( is_page() ) get_post_meta(...);

How do i remove animated icon
Hey so i have adriana theme and there are these three animated icons that are on the page and i want to remove them.
and after removing the icons i want the three paragraphs in brown to stay in that order but just move up where the icons used to be.
PLease help how would i do this i have no idea. | Probably your theme might have an option for making the icons hidden. In case it hasn't a specific option for that, you could achieve what you want with CSS in order to control your website's styles.
Most modern themes have a custom css option under their settings so you can set place your custom css styles. Search for that kind of option, place the following there and Save changes.
.home-title.i-container {
display: none !important;
}
The above would hide the animated icon element through the whole website. In case you want to hide the icons only on your home page, use the following instead:
.home .home-title.i-container {
display: none !important;
}

functions.php mistakenly deleted
I've mistakenly deleted the **`functions.php`** file of my Twenty Sixteen WordPress Theme running the command below:
rm /var/www/html/wp/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen/functions.php
The Twenty Sixteen Theme is my currently active theme and as such, my WordPress site is no longer accessible as it used to be _(ref. screenshot below)_.
, you cannot recover any previous modifications performed on the file.
_Should you consider editing the Twenty Sixteen WordPress Theme or any other one from theWordPress Repository or any other source, I will recommend you create a Child Theme of the theme you intended to use for that purpose, rather than editing the actual theme directly._ | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Showing All Media from All Multisites
Is there a way to have a "Media" page that shows all media from all multisites?
I am the admin/owner of a multisite, and wish to ensure that all media uploaded by susbsites is appropriate for those sites. And I need to edit images occasionally - mostly to rotate them for each subsite client.
Ultimiately, it would work like the standard Media page.
Although there is a plugin that shows subsite media, it only shows one subsite at a time. I am looking for a more 'global' media page.
Thanks.. | After posting the question, I did a ton of googles, and eventually built a plugin that displays all media for all subsites in a multisite installation. If the user is SuperAdmin, each picture is linked to it's editing page.
The plugin is called 'Multiside Media Display', and available via the usual Add Plugins page in WP Admin. (Unfortunately, the plugin will not install via the Install button; that results in a 'Installation failed: The package could not be installed.' error....for which I am puzzled, and have posted a question about here).
But it will install if you download/install locally. And then you can look at the code to see how it is done (too much code to display here). The code includes links to info I found about the various processes used.
So, solution available (once I get past the install problem). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Conditional/Check: IF author has no First Name THEN

How to loop through yoast primary categories?

2 custom posts types, in their own columns, one pagination for both
I have a page template has 2 columns. Each column has a loop for a single custom post type, with pagination.
The pagination links work for both columns, when you click any number it will take you to the page# for BOTH post types (there's a "sorry no more posts" message if one post type runs out of posts)
I want to maintain this functionality, but combine the pagination into only 1 section that checks the total number of posts for BOTH post types and creates the links based on that number, rather than having 2 separate link lists below each column.
How can I combine the pagination from these 2 loops OR combine the master loop but still break the posts into 2 columns, by post type?
I have already tried a few things
1. 1 loop, 2 post types (do not know how to break this into 2 columns) <
2. 2 loops, 2 columns, 2 paginations <
thanks! | re 2. two loops, one pagination link: remove the individual paginations; add this at the end:

How to rename the plugin PHP file without affecting existent users?
A plugin of mine has main PHP file named "init.php", now I want to follow best practice and rename it to "plugin-name.php"
As users are used to upgrade the plugin by overwriting the old folder with update, so there will be
init.php
plugin-name.php
both exist in the plugin folder after upgrade, which results in a PHP fatal error, saying a class not found, whatever, deleting "init.php" and all clear.
Though I can tell users how to fix it when they contact me, but it isn't a good solution to throw the error on users, is there a way to remove or ignore legacy main plugin file in WordPress? | Depending on the plugin version delete the file `init.php` on upgrading from the plugin folder.

How do I pull post from standard post format?
I use this code to take a post from the post format.
$query = array(
'showposts' => 5,
'post_type' => 'post',
'tax_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'taxonomy' => 'post_format',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( 'post-format-video' )
),
),
);
array( 'post-format-standard' ) is not.
How do I pull from standard format ?
Thanks so much. | The `terms` parameter will only accept custom post types and, like you mentioned, `post-format-standard` is not one.
Try instead to use the 'NOT IN' operator to test against the custom posts you don't want to display (all in this case):
$query = array(
'showposts' => 5,
'post_type' => 'post',
'tax_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR', // You likely don't need this
array(
'taxonomy' => 'post_format',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( 'post-format-video', 'post-format-image', 'post-format-link', 'post-format-aside', 'post-format-quote', 'post-format-chat', 'post-format-video', 'post-format-chat', 'post-format-audio' ),
'operator' => 'NOT IN'
),
),
);
The thinking here is that it won't display anything but standard posts.

Why "Contact Form 7" doesn't update PHPmailer library?

When I check source of mail, which has been sended from Contact Form 7, it looks like this:
X-Mailer: PHPMailer 5.2.14 (
X-WPCF7-Content-Type: text/plain

> Version 5.2.18 (December 24th 2016)
>
> **SECURITY** Critical security update for CVE-2016-10033 please update now! Thanks to Dawid Golunski.
Why Contact Form 7 uses old versions of PHPMailer? | PHPMailer is not part of the plugin, it is shipped with WordPress. So it is up to WordPress to keep it up to date. There is a patch already in ticket #37210.
In the mean time, you can create a mu-plugin, include the newer version of PHPMailer here, create an instance and assign it to the global variable `$phpmailer`. WordPress will then use _that_ instead of its own outdated version. But be aware that WordPress’ version has some changes that are not compatible with the original class, so you might break some plugins. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Check if post with same meta value exists
I'm building a phone numbers directory website. Using `wp_insert_post()` visitors are allowed to add phone numbers without having to register or log in. There's a custom post type called "numbers" and phone numbers are stored in custom posts' meta values. Here's the code:
`$post_id = wp_insert_post(array ( 'post_type' => 'numbers', 'post_title' => $name, 'post_content' => $details, 'post_status' => 'draft', 'tax_input' => $custom_tax, )); if ($post_id) { // insert post meta add_post_meta($post_id, 'number', $number); }`
I don't want my users to add the numbers that have already been added before. I need to somehow check if the entered phone number already exists in any post's meta value or not.
If number already exists in database, user shouldn't be allowed to add it. | Try below code.
$args = array(
'fields' => 'ids',
'post_type' => 'numbers',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'number',
'value' => $number
)
)
);
$my_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if( empty($my_query->have_posts()) ) {
$post_id = wp_insert_post(array (
'post_type' => 'numbers',
'post_title' => $name,
'post_content' => $details,
'post_status' => 'draft',
'tax_input' => $custom_tax,
));
if ($post_id) {
// insert post meta
add_post_meta($post_id, 'number', $number);
}
}
If there is same number in postmeta it will not allow to create post and post meta.

Improving the readibility of bright text on a bright background

Forced Redirect on a server migration

Any ideas where this redirection might exist as it can't be contained within a plugin so must be somewhere else? | Here's a clean and sure way that I follow when I migrate a WordPress to a new domain (or subdomain):
1. Go and download Interconnect IT's Database Search & Replace Script here

* **Replace** : ` (old domain)
* **With** : ` (new domain)

Only displaying zip files with wp media
I'm using `wp.media()` to invoke the WordPress media library modal in a custom taxonomy. In the pop up I only want to display zip files. I know I can limit the media library to just audio or video using those keywords but there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list of "types" anywhere.

// Sets up the media library frame
meta_image_frame = wp.media.frames.meta_image_frame = wp.media({
title: meta_term_image.title,
button: { text: meta_term_image.button },
library: { type: "zip"}
});
