Adding custom fields to the header.php
I want to add advanced custom fields/custom fields to my header.php as it contains text and phone numbers that we may change - I have tried referencing them but it didn't work. I have also Googled and not found a solution yet.
I want to be able to edit the content of the fields from my home page, so I am thinking that might be what I am doing wrong?
When I reference the advanced custom fields at the top of my header page in Adobe brackets, the colour of the code doesn't change so I am guessing it isn't allowed there.
Would I set something up in functions.php ?
EDIT: Adding code example - I have a few fields to add but obvs just need to get one right. As I mentioned, cannot add ref to ACF in the file as you normally do, it doesn't work the same.
<div class="pull-right hidden-sm">
<h3>Recruitment: <a href="tel:<?php echo $recruitment_number_ctc; ?>"><?php echo $recruitment; ?></a></h3> | Can you put the following code for displaying content of custom filed?

Is it good practice to remove redundant plugins and themes?
Is it good practice to remove all of the plugins and themes that are redundant?

What hook should I use that will fire whenever I open a post for editing in the WP back-end?
I'd like to create a simple action hook that fires whenever I open a post for editing in the WordPress back-end. What hook(s) can/should I use for this? The action would just be a simple echo command that prints text to the screen (as this is only for testing purposes).
Thanks. | Don't what you want to do but here is something that I did earlier on editor page of post type.
function wpb_change_title_text( $title ){

$title = 'New Placeholder text will come here '; //Enter new placeholder text

Custom Post Type + Categories
I've installed Custom Post Type UI plugin on my client's site. I have registered two new post types called Resources and Case Studies. I've enabled them to have categories and tags support. All of this works fine.

How are both HTTP and HTTPS versions displaying?
We have a site that somehow has both http and https versions accessible. We want to force it all to https. When we try to set the WordPress and Site URLS to https the site ends up in a redirect loop.

How to list Category list in ACF Pro's Select Field to choose from

Is WordPress cache shared for all blogs in a multisite network?
When I do a `wp_cache_set( 'some-item', $item, 'my-group' )` on any site of the multisite network, is `some-item` available on other blogs, or does every blog have its own "cache domain"?
If cache is local to the current blog only: Is there a simple way to have a shared, network-wide cache?
Could not find anything about this in google or WordPress documentation...
_For this question let's assume that there is an **object cache plugin** or drop-in is installed. (I know that out of the box the wp_cache_set function only caches data for the duration of the current request)_ | It depends.
In general object cache (at least the APCu and memcache based) is global, and is global to the whole server, so the question can be rephrased to "Which caching keys are being prefixed/postfixed with unique strings based on the sub-site". The answer, as can be seen in < is that wordpress core adds a prefix to "non global groups", where the global groups IIRC are the user data related groups and the network settings group.
So in good object cache implementation, user data and network options cache will be "shared" across all sub-sites while post cache etc will be "locally cached".
This leads to the question of what about the non core `my-group`. One option is that you will add (or not) prefixes base on the blog id when calculating the cache key to use, or add the `my-group` as a global group with wp_cache_add_global_groups if you do want to be able to access the same cache info on different sub-sites | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Avoid having infinite loops
I am using the following code (< to sync user role between his blogs on a multisite installation.

// Sync user role

function sync_user_role( $user_id, $role ) {
$blogs = get_blogs_of_user( $user_id );
$blogs_count = count( $blogs );
if ( $blogs_count > 1 ) {
foreach ( $blogs as $blog ) {
$user_blog = new WP_User( $user_id, '', $blog->userblog_id );
$user_blog->set_role( $role );
}
}
} | Yes it will give you infinite loop, because you're calling the `WP_User::set_role` method within the `set_user_role` action that's again fired within the the `WP_User::set_role` method.
Not sure what the setup is but you can try to run it only once, with
remove_action( current_action(), __FUNCTION__ );
as the first line in your callback, or use another hook.

Subdomains With Wordpress

* Should I use a plugin like WP-Network (or something else)? | You want a WordPress network aka WP multi site. There is complete documentation on WP Codex. <
In Step 3: Installing a Network, select the sub domain option when prompted. If you are converting an existing site, you will get locked into sub folders instead of sub domains. Go with a clean install to avoid this.
New sites are created as sub domains and no plugin is required to manage domain names.
Each site has its own content, theme, widget options. Users are assigned rights individually for each site or designate a super-admin with access to all.

How can I add text to all posts/pages/categories/homepage etc
This should be an easy thing but I just can't get it right.

problem with readme.txt description and youtube video
I am the author of the Bitcoin and Altcoin Wallets plugin and I'm facing an issue with my readme.txt file.
I would like to show a video and a text description, like other plugins do.
I have entered a description in the description section and a youtube video, as you can see in the link above. The video shows just fine in the plugin page, but if you search for the plugin, in the search results list the description is not shown. Instead the youtube URL is shown in its place.

First the description paragraph, then the `== Description ==` header, then the YouTube URL. The description text shows correctly in search result summaries for these other plugins.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? The validator was not of much help as it does not give you a preview of plugin summaries.

Problem with float:left - unexpected behavior
Here you can see the problem with floating:left in my page. I have made a style for wordpress, where I have links to pages and children pages.
The links "PC a internet, Grafika, Programování" should be on the same line (right figure). I have added "float:left" to the style.css and the menu is OK, but unfortunately the Title "PC a internet" has moved one row upward (see the right figure). I don't want to have it there.
![Problem with CSS style](
The use of float is probably little bit tricky, could somebody give me advice how to correct it?
Thank you. | Add `clear:both;` to your title.
example: <
**edit:** the code is behaving as it should, floated elements will make the sibling elements that has no clear property align to the side of the floated elements. Setting `clear:both` to your title, stops the floating behavior. You could also use `clear:left` and it'd work perfectly in this case.

remove enclosure url from feed
I searched the whole internet, including this website, but there is no written way on how to remove the enclosure url from the WordPress feed. I want to remove it because FeedBurner is adding the image url directly in the email that it is sending to subscribers. The reason doesn't really matter I guess, so simply how to remove enclosure url from the feed?
<enclosure url=" length="5873907" type="image/jpeg"/>
the feed also has this line, which I also want to remove:
<media:content url=" width="7360" height="4912" medium="image" type="image/jpeg"/>
any idea on how to do this? everything I tried until now failed, including some answers on this website | You can look if your posts have any assigned `enclosure` meta keys, that could trigger the `rss_enclosure()` core function to print the `<enclosure>` tag. Otherwise you can try this demo plugin:
<?php
/** Plugin Name: Remove RSS Enclosure **/
add_filter( 'rss_enclosure', '__return_empty_string' );
It looks like you've a plugin that's adding the `<media:content>` tag, e.g. via the `rss2_item` hook. So check your plugins. Otherwise you can try this demo plugin to remove all extra rss2 items:
<?php
/** Plugin Name: Remove All Extra rss2 Items **/
add_action( 'rss2_head', function()
{
remove_all_actions( 'rss2_item' );
} );
We can do similar for _atom_ \- and _rss_ feeds.

Index.php using 100% CPU
I am using godaddy 32 gb(RAM), quad core(CPU) dedicated server.
My site is working properly till today somehow its take to long to load so i am monitoring server in SSH using top command and i had found that my wordpress `index.php` is continuously requesting.
I can see that there are 8-10 request of `index.php` which are in running stat every request runs till 3-4 second and after that a new request is come.
I had not added any additional htaccess code.
I had deactivated all the plugins but its doesn't work.
I am very afraid, is this any attack from bots or something? How to solve this kind of problem?
Please let me know if anyone have idea about it.
Thanks. | Unless otherwise specified (usually happens on admin side, and image access), all requests to wordpress pass and are processed by the `index.php` file, therefor it is not very interesting to look at which file is being "run", you should look more at the request log and how much time it takes to complete each request.
So if it is not any kind of attack, you probably have a traffic spike which might be worth investigating it source, but whether it is a DDOS attempt or just normal traffic, it sounds like either your theme code can be optimized or there is some thing that can be improved in your server setup. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Template part vs Sidebar (differences)
I want to add a hard coded footer into the... `footer.php` of my site. This doesn't need to be "dynamic" (adding and removing widgets), it will be something standard like info about the site and specific links.
If I am correct this can be done either by `get_template_part( 'template-parts/', 'infofooter' );`
or by `get_sidebar( 'infofooter' );`
In the second case I just have to name my file `sidebar-infofooter.php`
Are both methods equally valid? What is the difference between a (non-dynamic) sidebar and a template part? Is it that a sidebar usually includes widgets? | The `get_sidebar($name);` function loads sidebar template file `sidebar-{$name}.php` if no name in the prentacies is specified it loads the `sidebar.php` file.
`get_sidebar()` and `get_template_part()` are almost identical, at the end they call `locate_template()` function that take care of loading from files.
The only difference is the hook fired. If you use `get_sidebar()` for all your widget areas you can target them all later with `get_sidebar` hook if needed.
So both options are equally valid in terms of code. They differ in semantics as sidebar usually contains a `dynamic_sidebar()` area inside the template. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Add a filter inside an action init
Hello in the `init` action, I would like to add a filter to a fairly large function to modify variables in the `$vars` array, for example the Wordpress post ID.

//code
add_filter( 'query_vars',function($vars){
$vars[] = array('ID' => $myid);
return $vars;
});
});
Is this possible?

$request['pagename'] = 'some-other-slug';
}
return $request;

Localhost WordPress not recognizing my online WordPress account

Reseting file permissions
I am having trouble with file permissions on my WordPress site and I found a blog post that suggests to reset them with the following commands:
find /path/to/site/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
find /path/to/site/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
However, I am not sure with what I should replace "/path/to/site/". Can someone help? | In this context `/path/to/site` means the absolute path to the root of the content directory of the website. You can find this by navigating to the directory where you installed wordpress and running the command `pwd` (assuming you are on linux). That will output the path you are looking for. By default in many linux/apache installations, this path is `/var/www/html`.
If you do not know where wordpress was installed, the process is slightly more involved.
Still assuming your server is an Linux server running Apache, to find the "`/path/to/site/`" you can run the command `apachetl -S` (on Debian/Ubuntu) or the command `httpd -S` (on Redhat/Centos).
That will output a block that will include a path to a config file. Open the config file and find the line that starts

Display posts on parent post if author coincides

Organising the plugins folder in wordpress

While I know attempts have been made to make it more flexible, I am not aware of any real breakthroughs or mainstream adoption.
As of current state of core I would estimate you would waste more time trying to implement it, than save time benefiting from more elaborate folder structure. Personally I make any “groups” of plugins or theme and plugins on IDE projects level.

AMP - Change rel="canonical" from functions.php
the source action in

<link rel="canonical" href="<?php echo esc_url( $amp_template->get( 'canonical_url' ) ); ?>" />

How I can edit rel from functions.php without editing main file? thanks. | In general you can deregister the action's callback, after it's been registered and then register your own before it's invoked with `do_action( '...' )`.
Here's an example:
// Add your own with later priority, e.g. 11 or wrap it in another later hook:
add_action( 'amp_post_template_head', 'wpse_amp_post_template_add_canonical', 11 );
function wpse_amp_post_template_add_canonical( $amp_template )
{
// Remove the unwanted callback:
remove_action( 'amp_post_template_head', 'amp_post_template_add_canonical' );
// Modify this new output to your needs:
printf(
'<link rel="canonical" href="%s" />',
esc_url( $amp_template->get( 'canonical_url' ) )

Wordpress wp_mail() how to add a .GIF

How to edit a deleted image gallery?
Picture this scenario:
1. From the "Add/Edit Post" page in WP, click the Add Media button.
2. Click on "Create a Gallery" on the sidebar and do exactly that. Then insert it into your post. Let's call this gallery "Main Gallery".
3. Save your post.
4. Delete the gallery from the WYSIWYG editor.
5. Save your post again.
Is there any way to edit "Main Gallery" once it's not visible from the editor?
I know it's not gone. I'm using the code in this post and the gallery is displaying. If I redo steps 1 to 3 again, creating another gallery (let's call it "Secondary Gallery"), the code referenced above does not display "Secondary Gallery", it displays "Main Gallery", so I know it still exists.
So is there a way to edit this now-hidden gallery? If not, any pointers as to how I could alter the code above to display only the newest created gallery instead of the oldest? | Wordpress galleries are not true "objects", they are just a kind of one time macro. There is no real DB of them, just a shortcode in the content and once you deleted it, there is no gallery any more (except for in the old revisions).
The code you referenced is a relic of the old days in which by default a gallery would have been all the images associated with a post, but those old days are long gone and unless you insert `[gallery]` manually, the current way is to add the ids of the images to the shortcode and once the shortcode is deleted.... puff you can't restore it from any other place except for backup. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Create an if statement based on page_id

Contact form function should be in functions.php or in a plugin file?
I have a function right now in my functions.php file that display a contact form on the frontend, also checks the user data and send an email, so the question is, should I leave this just where it is ( functions.php ) ?? or include it in a plugin. I have to say that until now the mentioned form is attach to the theme functionality, for example it uses the colors selected by the user on the customize screen, but I want to know if in this case belongs to the “plugin territory”, thank you very much! | This depends a lot on the context.
Normally, I would say that the form should be in a plugin.
The rule of thumbs is that if it's a functionality that could still be needed when the theme is deactivated, then it should go into a plugin.
Now for your specific case, if using the customizer, would set options that could potentially break your form if the theme should be changed, then you should keep it in your theme's `functions.php`.
But, I would still argue that it should go into a plugin and you should make sure that, in the eventuality that the theme is changed, you set default values to the form to replace the customizer options.
Because chances are that even if the theme is changed, you'd still want the contact form to be active. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

customizing a theme

Thanks :) | This is a very very broad question, probably isn't the place for it tbh. But anyway, there are many many themes in existence already, you can modify them, generally by adding a child theme and making your modifications there, it is bad practice to update a theme directly.
If you wish to extend the functionality of your site, then maybe a plugin, custom or not may be a better solution for you. If you wish to add custom post types, meta fields etc, it is advisable to do this outside of the theme core files.

Using HTML links within translatable string
What harm could happen if I didn't use the `wp_kses` function when using HTML links within translatable string? I know what this function do but what I don't understand is why and when should I implement this function? Specially with translatable strings. | It basically depends on who is doing the translation and how trusted can he be as if you will not filter things out the translator can add JS code, still cookies and whatever.
In most of the places translation is done you will have in any case a call to `esc_html` or `esc_attr` which will mitigate the problem, but obviously if you need an actual link, you can not use those functions. The use of `wp_kses` just makes sure there are no surprises in the translation.
For example, there is nothing that prevent a translator from translating `__('Hi there`) into `Hi there <script>alert('evil laugh')</script>`. translations are never verified to not include such type of things when they are submitted by translators, and while the example is easy to catch, it might be possible to do more complex things that are harder to spot. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Edit permalink for certain pages

I've created all the sections and I need to know how can I add "/services/" as a prefix for some pages...

It would be something like this in the end: `mysite.com/services/marketing-strategy.` instead of `mysite.com/marketing-strategy.` as it is now.
I tried editing the permaking but it removes the slash ( / ) character. Also permalinks configuration applies to ALL pages, and I need this to be only on some of them. What's the best way to do this? | I agree with @Milo it would be easiest to do it by having the Services Page as your top level page (parent) and then declare other pages as the Services pages' children.
You can do this on the page editing area in the WP admin area.
Try not to mess with the permalinks as that can have crazy consequences on things working as they should. If that solution doesn't work out, create a custom post type of services. That way anything in that custom post type will be under the services type!

How to make wordpress Dynamic Search-Bar from Predesigned Static Html Search-Bar?

<input type="text" placeholder="Search..." onfocus="" />
</div>
</div>

I mean I don't want to use wordpress's default function of Search-Bar (form) `get_search_form()`. | Yes, it's pretty easy to make our static HTML Search-Bar dynamic.
_First,_ wrap up our `<input />`tag with `<form> </form>` tag mentioning `action=""` and `mehotd=""`
_Second,_ **identify** the default **key** of wordpress and **assign** it in `name=""` attribute of input tag.
To be specific, the code would be like this:
<form method="GET" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>">
<input name="s"placeholder="Search..." />
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
**How to identify:** we may use `<?php get_search_form(); ?>` in header.php (just for a temporary test) to get the default search-bar of wordpress so that we can search any word in it. Let, we search with a word (post) written in search bar. Then we will get the result with all post words written, if we look at the address bar we are supposed to see like this: your_website.com/?s=new
So, **s** & _new_ is the **key** / _value_ pair identified.

Getting wp_footer() to work without wp_head()

How to - proper WordPress 301 redirects?
I need to 301 redirect: `example.com/service-1.html` to `example.com/our-services/1/`.
I've tried redirect plugins and `.htaccess`:
1. `Redirect /service-1.html /our-services/1/`
2. `Redirect 301 /service-1.html
3. `RewriteRule ^service\-1\.html$ /our-services/1/? [L,R=301]`
4. `RewriteRule ^(.*)/service-1.html$ [R=301,L]`
But nothing is working, every time I'm redirected to (Woocommerce) product page `product/1`.
Wordpress `.htaccess` file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
What am I doing wrong? | You may be adding the directive to the wrong part of your `.htaccess` file? It needs to go at the top, before the existing WordPress directives. You should also use `RewriteRule` (ie. mod_rewrite) since you have existing mod_rewrite directives (the WP _front controller_ ).
Something like your 3rd attempt at the top of your `.htaccess` file should result in the appropriate redirect. For example:
RewriteRule ^service-1\.html$ /our-services/1/? [R=302,L]
Change to a 301 (if that is the intention) only when you are sure it's working OK. 301s are cached hard by the browser, so you will need to ensure the browser cache is cleared before testing.
The `?` on the end of the `RewriteRule` _substitution_ simply removes the query string from the request. Whether this is required or not is up to you, but you don't have a query string in your example. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to make an edit to an already published post back to Draft
I have a marketplace using WooCommerce where the Vendors have their own set of products. Once they first create a product, an admin needs to approve and publish it for them.
The problem is that, once a product have been published, the Vendors can edit it and re-save with different content that very often is different from the approved one.
I would like to know how I can make sure that if they edit an already published product, the post goes back to "Submit to Review" or "Draft" status.
Thanks! | Add below code in your **current theme's functions.php** file.
You have to replace **USER ROLE** with your user role name in if condition.
function check_edit_post($post_id){
global $post;

Redirect to woocommerce checkout after adding to cart - item already in cart
I have this code
/*
* Redirect to checkout after adding to cart
*/
function themeprefix_add_to_cart_redirect() {
global $woocommerce;
$checkout_url = $woocommerce->cart->get_checkout_url();
return $checkout_url;
}
add_filter('add_to_cart_redirect', 'themeprefix_add_to_cart_redirect');
The problem is clicking on a link like `www.example.com/?add-to-cart=1234` will not trigger the `add_to_cart_redirect` hook if there is something already in the cart. It thinks that there is something already in the cart and there is nothing else to add. _Only one of my products can be purchased at a time._
**Where can I hook in to redirect at an earlier stage in the cart validation process?**
or
**Is there a way to empty the cart before adding the product`1234`?**
Thanks! | **Q: Is there a way to empty the cart before adding the product 1234?**
A: Before adding a product to the cart, it is possible to empty the cart so that the `add_to_cart_redirect` hook will always be called. Use the `woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation` hook to alter the cart before adding a new item.
/**
* First clear the cart of all products
*/
function clear_cart_before_adding( $cart_item_data ) {
global $woocommerce;

Change directory url to be same as page permalink?
I have a page with permalink set in the dashboard to `www.domain.com/reports` that has links to PDF reports located in `www.domain.com/wp-content`. There is not a reports directory on the server and creating one in the root directory, obviously breaks the `www.domain.com/reports` page.
How can I change the settings and/or file structure such that the PDF links are `www.domain.com/reports/<pdf document>` without overriding or conflicting with the permalink? | I have an idea, let's see if it helps you.
You may create separate pages for each pdf file and make Reports page as parent of these pages.
Then inside the child pages, you can embed the pdf files with a PDF Reader plugin or simply using an iframe tag.

get_post_thumbnail does not display thumbnail

Updating modified templates
I want to tweak some of the .php template files in my WordPress theme, and I understand that the correct process is to copy the relevant files into a child theme folder and edit the files there, so that my modifications won't be lost in future theme updates.
But does that mean that I then won't get the benefit of theme updates to the files I've put in my child theme folder?
This might not be a good thing, as the theme update may have added some useful features, or even fixed the issues for which I initially needed to make the code tweaks!
What's the common solution to this? Someone suggested a Diff app - is this what people commonly use? | Yes, it's about to check changes after updates of main theme, mostly updates goes to core of theme, not files like single.php etc.. but when it's go this way, you need some Diff program.

How to filter to output of the get_permalink() function
I know how to filter the output of the function `the_permalink` \- it is like this:
add_filter('the_permalink', 'my_the_permalink');
function my_the_permalink($url) {
return '
}
And it works when I use it like: `<?PHP the_permalink($id); ?>`, but I wanted to change the link returned by `get_permalink($id)` function. And this filter doesn't affect the returned permalink in that case.
I was trying to catch it with:
add_filter('post_link', 'my_get_permalink', 10, 3);
function my_get_permalink($url, $post, $leavename=false) {
return '
}
But this filter isn't fired for the `get_permalink()`. So how can I alter the links returned by the `get_permalink()`? | Note that `post_link` filter is only for the `post` post type.
For other _post types_ these filters are available:
* `post_type_link` for _custom post types_
* `page_link` for _page_
* `attachment_link` for _attachment_
The `get_permalink()`function is actually a wrapper for:
* `get_post_permalink()`
* `get_attachement_link()`
* `get_page_link()`
in those cases.
Here's a way (untested) to create a custom `wpse_link` filter for all the above cases of `get_permalink()`:
foreach( [ 'post', 'page', 'attachment', 'post_type' ] as $type )
{
add_filter( $type . '_link', function ( $url, $post_id, ? bool $sample = null ) use ( $type )
{
return apply_filters( 'wpse_link', $url, $post_id, $sample, $type );
}, 9999, 3 );
}
where we can now filter all cases with:
add_filter( 'wpse_link', function( $url, $post_id, $sample, $type )
{
return $url;

Including admin-options.php file in Child Themes
