Hide a certain category name from Related Posts
I am trying to alter a plugin that has this code to display Related Categories names under the post:
<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
<span class="cat-links">
<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">See related Videos</span> %2$s', 'posts-in-page' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
</span>
<?php endif; ?>
Can someone please tell me how I can alter this code to exclude one Category name from the list that it generates...?? The category name that I want to exclude is "TopONLY" and its ID is 11. | $d = get_the_category();
$glu = [];
foreach($d as $rst ):
//exclude category name
if($rst->name != 'Sticky'):
$glu[]="<a href=".get_category_link( $rst->cat_ID ).">{$rst->name}</a>";
endif;
endforeach;
//error_log(print_r($glu, true).'/n', 3, WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/debug.log');
echo "These are the categories". implode(', ', $glu);

Update post_content everytime a custom post is opened in backend
I need to implement a function that substitutes the post_content of the current custom post as soon as it is opened in admin editor. Its purpose is to have updated informations inside the content until the post becomes "published".
What is the correct action/hook that allows me to get the informations about the currently opened post and modify it?
I have developed this function but it is not working well:
function save_team() {
$post = get_post();
$ID_post = $post->ID;
$team = get_post_meta ($ID_post, ‘hometeam’, true);
if($post->post_type == "game" && $post->post_status == "draft"){
$post_content = $post->post_content;
//code that modifies post_content here by adding $team at some point
$my_post = array(
‘ID’ => $ID_post,
‘post_content’ => $post_content,);
wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
} | The `content_edit_pre` filter might be what you are looking for. This filters the content of a post before it's retrieved and output in the editor.
So you might be able to do this:
function save_team( $content, $post_id ) {
$team = get_post_meta ($post_id , 'hometeam', true);
if( get_post_type( $post_id ) == "game" && get_post_status( $post_id ) == "draft" ){
//code that modifies post_content here by adding $team at some point
$my_post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_content' => $content,);
wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
}
add_filter( 'content_edit_pre', 'save_team', 10, 2 );
The post ID and content are passed to this filter, so there's no need to use `get_post();` here.
As a side note, you should not use `‘` and `’` as quotations. Use `'` or `"` instead. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Enqueue new login style sheet

Should i use usermeta or taxonomy (or even custom taxonomy)?
i have been researching much about taxonomies and usermeta. So taxonomies are to categorize things up for posts (animals, plants..). That makes it easier to search posts through them.
Now here is my question: I want to add custom user fields like **gender, university, age** etc..
Should i define them as usermeta, taxonomy (categories: gender->male,female) or custom taxonomy?
At the end i will have a overview of all existing users to search them by gender, university etc. Also the admin can always add a new university for example.
So which way is the most common?
I hope you guys can help me out for my decision.
Thanks in advance | If it is an information about a user (probably displayed on on profile pages, or other user centric places), use user meta.
If it is a way to have a collection of users..... hmmm wordpress sucks in this. Best option is probably to add a relevant role.
Taxonomies in general are geared toward creating collection of content, and users are just not content, therefor while you can force some DB model that will let you use taxonomies, this is not going to be fun at all. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Use the wp-admin translations on the front end
Currently I'm working on implementing the user profile form on the front end. Unfortunately the front end core translation file (`wp-content/languages/lang_LANG.po`) doesn't have any of the translated strings displayed on the user profile page. Those translated strings are located in `wp-content/languages/admin-lang_LANG.po` and since the filename starts with "admin", my best guess is that this only is loaded when visiting a wp-admin page (when `is_admin()` returns true).
Thus how do I load the text domain of wp-admin when you're not viewing a wp-admin page? | Best way around it would probably be to manually call `load_textdomain()` on the corresponding MO file in your theme's `functions.php`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Users table association with users_metadata table appears broken
I noticed an issue after deploying a custom theme build to a Go Daddy Managed WordPress installation (client's request, RIP) wherein users created by the admin account in the WP back-end weren't showing up in the list of users.
They appear in the users database, but there appears to be no associated references in the `users_metadata` table (there are entries for the admin account, but that's it).
The users table says it has no primary key assigned - I'm not sure if that's part of the problem. I'm assuming that the user ID should be the primary key but clearly I'm no SQL pro here.
My client needs to be able to create users so his staff can upload content. What tree should I be barking up to fix this problem? | In the users table the primary key should be ID (auto-increment) and the `user_login`, `user_nicename` and `user_email` fields should be indexed.
In the `usermeta` table the `umeta_id` should be primary key (auto-increment) and the `umeta_id` and `meta_key` fields should be indexed. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Stop forcing certain paths to end with a forward slash

How to periodically roll back WordPress to a fixed point in time?
I have a demo WordPress site that showcases a plugin I created. The plugin lets users interact with content from the front-end and could potentially result in a nightmare of content bloat over time. I'd like to periodically roll back the entire WordPress database to a specific date or backup on a weekly basis. I have looked for plugins that do this - there are auto backup plugins, but I couldn't find any auto restore plugins. I know this is possible because I've seen it done on various other WordPress demo sites in the past. | First take a SQL dump of the database in the state you want it. Then you'd write a script that accomplishes the following:
1. Put the WP install into maintenance mode by creating a file in wp-content with the filename `.maintenance` and contents "Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute." (or your preferred text)
2. Drop all the tables and recreate them from your SQL dump.
3. Delete `/wp-content/.maintenance`
Finally hook your script to a cron job in the interval you're looking for. It's best if this script runs completely independently of WP using a system cron job, because there are fewer moving parts and things that could go wrong than if you're trying to do it from within a running WP environment. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How to force download a plugin generated file?
I have a plugin that generates a CSV file with information from the blog. Now I want users to be able to download this file.
For example when they visit < they get the force download.
I found this solution:
add_action('template_redirect','yoursite_template_redirect');
function yoursite_template_redirect() {
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='/downloads/data.csv') {
header("Content-type: application/x-msdownload",true,200);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=data.csv");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
echo 'data';
exit();
}
}
But that method is based on a function in the `functions.php` of the template, but how can I force download a file from a plugin perspective? | That function should work equally well if included in a plugin. `template_redirect` is an action that fires any time WP parses a URL, it's not exclusive to themes. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

How can I use a variable to include a linked image?
I have a help page added to my admin, with screenshots of various config settings.
The screenshots are located in a subfolder (several levels deep) of the theme.
Currently, to insert linked thumbnails I'm using this...
<a href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory')?>/path_to/image.png">
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory')?>/path_to/image.png"></a>
For simplicity, I'm wondering if/how I can use a $variable to set the path to the appropriate subfolder, and use it (rather than the full path).
My limited knowledge is enough to echo such an url...
$url = bloginfo('template_directory'). '/extras/config/screenshots/plugins';
echo $url;
But I don't know enough to use it to add the image and link. | You are most of the way there, you simply have to echo it into the include:
<a href="<?php echo $url;?>/image.png"><img src="<?php echo $url;?>/image.png"></a>
If you are already echoing this whole line, then you simply concatenate the variable:
echo '<a href="'.$url.'/image.png"><img src="'.$url.'/image.png"></a>'

Filtering posts by custom field value not working

array(
'taxonomy' => 'specialties',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $specialty,
)),

'value' => $location,

$args = array(
'post_type' => 'location',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'specialties',
'field' => 'slug',

$terms = get_terms(

]
);
that performs a wildcard (`*`) search for `*-en*` within the term's _name_ or term's _slug_. Also note the support for `name__like` and `description__like` input arguments.

Unable to install and upload theme due to php.ini file

This might cause issue if you have a value like this:

Better yet save them as an array, instead of a single string.

Safe to remove this: <?php comments_template(); ?> when using a 3rd Party Comment App?
I am using Disqus for my comments on WordPress.
I am correct in thinking that I can remove this line or is that just plain wrong? I am referring to this:
<?php comments_template(); ?>
I am probably wrong because how else would the comments know where to load right? | From the Disqus plugin core:
// Only replace comments if the disqus_forum_url option is set.
add_filter('comments_template', 'dsq_comments_template');

How do I get Roboto Google Font to display normal font-style?

function google_fonts() {

'family' => 'Roboto:300'
);

The second note is, you are only registering the styles. You have to also enqueue them using `wp_enqueue_style`. So your code should be like this:

$query_args = array(
'family' => 'Roboto:300'
);
wp_register_style( 'google_fonts', add_query_arg( $query_args, " ), array(), null );

Trying to load different syles for 404.php page
I've created a `404.php` page and my theme correctly loads that page when an error is made. My question is - how do I style it? I notice that the body tag like this:
<body class="error404">
So should I call that in an enqueue to load some css, perhaps something like this:
// Error 404
if ( is_page(404)):
// Load Newsletter Main CSS
wp_enqueue_style( '404 css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/404.css', array(), null);

Thanks | You have 2 options here.
## Use Built-in Classes
As you already mentioned, WordPress automatically adds classes to body, based on the current page. You can use it to style your elements differently, or even use your own different classes in your `404.php`:
.error404 p {
// Some different classes here
}
## Enqueue Your Styles Only for 404 Page
You can check whether the page is a 404 error or not, and then enqueue your styles:

if( is_page_template('404.php') ){

How can I display a list of only categories which are marked as 'featured' in the backend?

Rewrite rule not redirecting correctly

`^homes-for-sale-details/4420/217007490/177/Fb-landing-page(.*)$`

$ propertylisting1/index.php?success=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

Beginner's question about shortcodes
I know i'll get bombarded for this question but the truth is I researched and found nothing.
I'm not a WP expert or anything, i just found my ways to design WP themes. But there is something i never got straight.
**_WHY IN HECK SHORT-CODES DON'T WORK FOR ME._**
When i mean shortcodes i mean the ones provided by a plugin, not created by myself what it makes it probably dumber.

I write in a page or a post:
[audio src="
I see the audio controls in the WP editor, but in the browser i see the text, not the audio.
**2nd example:**
I just tried to use a WPForms shortcode in order to display a contact form.... I see the text, not what the shortcode should be doing.
Up to this point my solution if I need to run a shortcode is creating a page/post template and do:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[My_shortcode]'); ?>
Thanks a lot and sorry for the dumbest question. | It looks like theme issue. Switch to default WordPress theme and check it. I have tested it on WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme.
For testing:
1) Add below code in theme `functions.php`
// Sample shortcode [testme]
function testme_cb( $atts ) {
return 'Working? Maybe.';
}
add_shortcode( 'testme', 'testme_cb' );
// Enable shortcodes in text widgets
add_filter('widget_text','do_shortcode');

2) Goto `Appearance -> Widgets` and add shortcode `[testme]` in Text Widget.

Get specific value from variable to use in query
I would like to create a custom query where the post ID is equal to a value which is stored in a variable. If I do a var_dump of the variable I can see the ID that I want to use.

Should I always prefer esc_attr_e & esc_html_e instead of _e?
I am working to internationalize my plugin. As I can see on Wordpress site about esacaping, it says you should always use it. But as I can see in many popular plugins, they have used _e instead apart from few specific cases. So should I always use escaping or not for all strings, if not then for what specific cases should we use it? | Always escape output unless you have a **great** reason not to.
The main thing that you lose when escaping translated strings is the ability to use html tags and html entities in the original string and translations, but you should probably not get into a situation in which translators are required to know html just in order to translated several words in the first place.
If for whatever reason you have to include an html entity as part of the string you can use `printf`/`sprintf` to give the translator some flexibility on the location of such an entity in string with something like
`printf('%s&%s',esc_html__('first part','td'),esc_html__('second part','td'))`
where `&` is just an example for an html entity.
Obviously there might be more complex scenarios that might be impossible to escape in a sane way, but your guiding light should be to always escape by default. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Then, using _Screen Options_ , I maxed out the number of posts to display until all the recently imported items were showing.

Unfortunately, by default, Apache and PHP didn't like the super long POST urls that resulted. I also had to (temporarily) max out a few URL related apache config variables.
# Apache Configuration
LimitRequestLine 40000
LimitRequestFieldSize 40000
and a similar PHP ini setting
max_input_vars=40000

User Directory without a Plugin
_GOAL:_ Develop a password-protected user directory without a membership plugin. The login credentials are the same for everyone.
_QUESTION:_ Will this strategy keep the info private, or am I missing something?
1. Create a custom post type with options:
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => false,
'exclude_from_search' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => false,
2. create a password-protected page with a custom page template, displaying the custom post type query (the list of addresses).
3. add a password form to the custom page template, like so:
global $post;
get_header();
if ( ! post_password_required( $post ) ) {
// …
} else {
echo get_the_password_form();
}
Additional Notes:
* Custom Post Type paired with Advanced Custom Fields will set up fields for address, phone numbers, names, etc.
* An editor (or two) will keep the directory up to date | You might want to read this post about passwords protected posts. In short: Do not use them.
> QUESTION: Will this strategy keep the info private, or am I missing something?
No, it won't. It will even leak info to search engines and index those.
What you _can_ do is to just require the actual _user login_ in your template:
// @link
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
// @link
wp_login_form();
// "outer template"
wp_footer(); # etc.
return;

URL issue after migrating to dev site
I recently migrated a live wordpress site, watershedgeo.com, over to a development site using the temp url, <
I finally got it launched but the images and links don't show, they're all broken, but a lot of the images are showing their alt text. Here's the weird thing:

Filter posts by multiple custom taxonomy terms using AND operator in REST API v2 (WordPress)
I've created a custom post type called 'events'. I've also created a custom taxonomy called 'event_categories' containing the 12 months of the year.
I am trying to get 'events' held in August AND (not OR) September (term IDs 41 and 42) using the following urls:
`/wp-json/wp/v2/events?event_categories=41,42`
`/wp-json/wp/v2/events?event_categories=41+42`
For some reason these urls return the same results and don't use the AND operator. They both use the OR operator and return events that are in either August or September.
I've also tried the following urls below but neither utilise the AND operator:
`/wp-json/wp/v2/events?filter[event_categories]=august,september`
`/wp-json/wp/v2/events?filter[event_categories]=august+september` | I think I know the fix. I noticed that the plus sign (+) in the url arguments was automatically being stripped and converted into a space.
My arg values 'august+september' were becoming 'august september' after decoding. I found out that '%2B' is the code equivalent of the + symbol.
So, instead of using: `/wp-json/wp/v2/events?filter[event_categories]=august+september`

Using URL rewrite to add custom URL for custom post type

responsive screen not working
i already try to make this responsive like this: < i want it like shrink like an image, whatever screen in it, it will match in the position, imagine i put in every box image, but seems fail. < | To get responsiveness similar to the image link you gave, you need to set `width=100% and height=auto` for the image.
In your jsfiddle example, you did the width part okay (defined it as a % of available space) **but** you are fixing the height - both for the outer box as well as the inner boxes. So no matter what you do, the height will stay the same. That will give distorted images when scaled.
So if you want responsively scaled images,
* Define one of the two (height or width) as a % of available space (you did this right)
* Define the other as auto - so that it scales properly
* Adjust the rest of the design to suit (so that other elements don't walk out of your layout). | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Share taxonomy between user and posts?
I'm in need of a taxonomy that can be shared between users and posts. Is this possible and if so how? I read that you can set up taxonomy for users, but is it possible to share it with a post type? My use case is a company employees list where employees are divided into different departments, corresponding to a post category for each department.
I want to be able to check which department current user belongs to, and show posts belonging to the same taxonomy term.
Or is there perhaps some other way of setting this up that might be easier or more natural? | No you can't, for a simple reason:
> This term says that ID `1` is in the `food` category, but is that user 1 or post 1?
The ID provides no context, it's an object ID. As a result, there's no way to tell if that ID is a post ID or a user ID. This is why multiple post types can share a taxonomy as they're all posts, but you can't mix posts and users
## Sidestepping the Issue
Use 2 taxonomies and a little magic! Create one for users, and one for posts, where every term exists twice in both with the same name/slug. Then use hooks and filters to create and update terms as they're modified in either taxonomy.
I anticipate that this might lead to the question of how to query for both at the same time. I'm afraid that's not possible. Instead, `get_objects_in_term` can get you the relevant users, and `WP_Query` can fetch the posts | stackexchange-wordpress | {

customize_preview_init: listening for any changes from Customizer preview area

wp.customize( 'setting-ID', function ( value ) {
value.bind( function( val ) {
// things go here
} );
} );

How insert a DIV at top of current theme?
I would like to insert a full-width DIV at the topmost location in the site I'm building. The project is in overtime.

How to use esc_attr__() function properly to translate a variable that contains string?

Counting posts with argument without retrieving the posts
I have a quite extensive database, 30000+ items, and using this:
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'books',
's' => $s
);
$post_counts = count(get_posts($args));
seems to take forever.
I solved this particular case with:
$post_count = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'books' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_title LIKE '%".$s."%'");
But I have many queries that I'd like to count without having to write them by hand. Is there any way to count the posts with the $args using wordpress native functions without having to store the whole querie but only the count? | Here's one thing you could do. Create a WP_Query object but only include ids:
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'books',
's' => $s,
'fields' => 'ids',
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
$post_counts = $query->post_count;
wp_reset_postdata();
By using `fields => ids` you're only returning the IDs. Also, WP_Query already does a count and supplies it as a property: `post_count`. Finally, since we are using a WP_Query we need to reset the globals with `wp_reset_postdata()`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

human_time_diff() returns "48 years ago" for all comments

Whats up with that? | You should use `strtotime` to turn the comment's date into a string that can be compared with the current time. In your case, you should use:

Enqueueing common php scripts in a plugin
I have a plugin rejected by wordpress.org, one of the resasons is this:
> ## Unsafe Requiring of Common Libraries Since you're using a common library, it's important that you enqueue it safely. Example(s):
>
> require_once('jsonld.php');
>
> Since that is a common library, you need to detect IF the code is already included and not re-include it, as doing so will cause conflicts if two people call the same defines and functions.
I understand about enqueueing jQuery and CSS - but this is a PHP script with multiple functions.
1. If this script is common do I need to just reference it in the WP Core?
2. Otherwise do I need to just look at the functions I'm calling and wrap them in a class (I'm uncertain about this) or can I refer to the whole php script?
3. What is the standard way of doing this?
Thanks
Dan | 1. No, it just means it's used by many plugins, not that Core includes it.
2. Many of the functions in that library seem to use the `JsonLdProcessor` class that is also in that library, I'd check for that before including:

Show admin bar only for some USERS roles

thanks | You can disable the admin bar via function:
show_admin_bar(false);
So with that in mind, we can hook into `after_setup_theme` and hide the admin bar for all users except `administrator` and `contributor`:
function cc_wpse_278096_disable_admin_bar() {
if (current_user_can('administrator') || current_user_can('contributor') ) {
// user can view admin bar
show_admin_bar(true); // this line isn't essentially needed by default...
} else {
// hide admin bar
show_admin_bar(false);
}
}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'cc_wpse_278096_disable_admin_bar');

Based on the above code the path should be this →
> <
then why this:
> <
With what logic is this portion coming up →
> /wp-json/
This was the Primary question from where my learning started. | No it shouldn't.
The first parameter is called namespace. It's like the scope for your functions such as this:
function my_function(){
$data = 0;
}
You can only use `$data` inside that function. Same goes with the REST endpoints. The path `/test/` will be available only under its specific namespace.
You should choose a unique namespace for your plugin or theme, and build different paths for different endpoints.
The second argument is the path. It's like branches of a tree. Imagine a tree as a namespace, and its branches as paths. You can climb the tree, and then choose a branch to harvest the fruits.
However, both of these are under the scope of rest route, has a base of `/wp-json/` if you have pretty permalinks enabled, or `/?rest_route=` if you are using plain permalinks.

How to search users globally on a multisite install?
I'm using the REST API to create/update/delete users on a multisite install in order to sync data with a 3rd party resource. When I am checking whether to update or create a user, I'm using the `search` parameter to search on usernames, which works fine on a single site, but if a user exists in the system on a different site, how can I tell beyond trying the insert, which triggers a _Username is already in use_ error? I've found this proposed change, which looks to be exactly what I need, but it hasn't made it into code yet. How can I achieve this? I don't mind writing a custom endpoint and doing it in PHP, but I can't find any functions that allows searching globally for users.

$args = array( 'blog_id' => 0 );

$args = array( 'blog_id' => 0, 'search' => '{username to search for}' );
$users = get_users( $args );
var_dump( $users );
I discovered this while poking around in the `wp-cli` source code (since I knew that `wp user list --network` would return a list of all the users on a Multisite network). It's corroborated by a user comment on the `WP_User_Query::prepare_query()` documentation. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
