title: High CPU usage on 404 errors

text: After debugging high CPU usage for a week, I've discovered that URLs submitted to my WordPress site that result in 404 errors cause high CPU usage. I tested my site with jmeter. When I request a file that exists at 5 requests/second, the CPU usage averages 3.7%. When I request a file that does not exist at 5 requests/second, the CPU usage averages 69%. I'm using WAMP: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, sp 1, 64-bit. Apache version 2.4 MySql version 5.6.9 PHP version 5.4.13 4 GB RAM Intel Xeon CPU 2.93GHz (2 processors) The strategy that I've been using to try to mitigate this problem is to configure Apache to handle requests for extensions that I know WordPress does not need to handle. Here's the current line I've added to .htaccess to identify the extensions that Apache should handle:               RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.action|\.aro|\.ascx|\.asf|\.asp|\.aspx|\.asx|\.avi|\.bat|\.bmp|\.ca|\.cfg|\.cfm|\.cgi|\.class|\.css|\.de|\.divx|\.dk|\.dll|\.doc|\.docx|\.ee|\.el|\.eot|\.es|\.et|\.exe|\.fbcindex|\.gif|\.gz|\.gzip|\.htaccess|\.htm|\.html|\.ico|\.inc|\.ini|\.jpe|\.jpeg|\.jpg|\.js|\.log|\.m4a|\.m4v|\.mdb|\.mid|\.midi|\.mov|\.mp3|\.mp4|\.mpe|\.mpeg|\.mpg|\.mpp|\.nl|\.no|\.nsf|\.odb|\.odc|\.odf|\.odg|\.odp|\.ods|\.odt|\.ogg|\.pdf|\.php|\.phtml|\.pl|\.png|\.pot|\.pps|\.ppt|\.pptx|\.properties|\.pt-br|\.qt|\.ra|\.ram|\.rtf|\.rtx|\.sh|\.shtml|\.svg|\.svgz|\.swf|\.tar|\.tif|\.tiff|\.ttf|\.tw|\.txt|\.wav|\.wax|\.wma|\.wmv|\.wmx|\.wof|\.wri|\.wsgi|\.wwwacl|\.xla|\.xls|\.xlsx|\.xlt|\.xlw|\.xml|\.xsd|\.xsl|\.zip)$ [NC]      This solution works well for known extensions. The problem is that there are some requests, typically submitted by hackers, that look like requests that WordPress should handle. Here are some examples:               https://www.example.com/postnuke      https://www.example.com/asp      https://www.example.com/webmail      https://www.example.com/c32web.exe/CheckError?error=99      I suppose I could configure Apache to handle each specific path, but that's a lot of maintenance and it would be impossible to enter every path that doesn't exist. I don't think that would be a good solution. This is a security issue because it's an easy attack vector for a DoS attack. It would be helpful to know if anyone else has this issue. I wonder if I have something misconfigured or if this is just a limitation of WordPress. Any ideas on how to better handle this issue? For anyone else having high CPU usage on WordPress, I also found that the Pagelines theme was dynamically compiling CSS which was also causing high CPU usage. I modified the theme to stop doing that which solved that problem.


title: Wordpress Media Library showing wrong preview size?

text: When uploading new (or existing) images to the media library in Wordpress 3.6.1 the preview generated on the admin page/edit media page (eg. `wp- admin/post.php?post=8736&action=edit` ) is showing one of my custom image sizes defined from my functions file, rather than the default size. I am using:               add_image_size( 'narrow', 205, 450, true );      In functions.php with `after_setup_theme` This is an issue because this size is for part of the theme and is cropped so does not show the image as intended. **Question:** Why is Wordpress choosing a custom image size on the editor and how can I force it to use a standard image size such as 'medium'. Thanks

title: Deregister nextgen on shopp pages

text: Ok, I have a site using Netgen Gallery and Shopp. I'm trying to deregister the nextgen styles and scripts on the shopp products and pages as there is a conflict. My shopp page title is "Registration" and I'd like to stop any Nextgen stuff from loading on any shopp pages. Here's the code (that didn't work) that I added to my functions.php               // NextGEN script exclusions     add_action('wp_print_scripts','my_deregister_javascript', 100);     function my_deregister_javascript(){     if ($post->post_parent == registration) {         wp_deregister_script('ngg_script');         wp_deregister_script('thickbox');     }     }          // NextGEN style exclusions     add_action('wp_print_styles','my_deregister_styles', 100);     function my_deregister_styles(){     if ($post->post_parent == registration) {         wp_deregister_style('NextGEN');         wp_deregister_style('thickbox');     }     }      Does anyone see what I am missing?


title: Wordpress MAMP Installation Issue

text: I have MAMP configured in my machine and I've been using it to run multiple Wordpress installs with no issue until this new site where the Wordpress install is in a subdirectory. The site is installed under htdocs and it has the following structure: /mylocalpath/htdocs/www.mysite.com/Web Applicatin/WordpressInstallCoreFiles For some reason this keeps returning a 404. I followed the steps for "Wordpress in Subdirectory" but still no luck. I do have the hosts file set up correctly for the local domain. Any tips or ideas on how to get my site running on the subdirectory? Anything I can do in Apache to configure this correctly?


title: Functions containing parameter 'yourtheme'

text: I had a colleague create a new theme and while doing so he copied an old theme and made the changes necessary. Now, in many of the files, there are functions that contain the old theme name in the function call instead of the new theme name. Is this parameter used in WordPress for anything and I should therefore change it, or is it OK to leave it with the old theme name?

title: When filtering query on custom taxonomy; main menu dissapears

text: I have created a custom taxonomy, and that works. But here is the problem; I have created an archive page, which in the url gets e.g. this: `?category=23`. Then, in `functions.php`, I do this:               function add_inspiration_category( $q ) {         if (is_post_type_archive('inspiration') && !is_admin()) {                  $category_id = $_GET['category'];             if (!empty($category_id)) {                 $q->set('tax_query', array(                     array(                         'taxonomy' => 'inspiration-taxonomy',                         'field' => 'id',                         'terms' => $category_id                     )                 ));             }         }              return $q;     }     add_filter('parse_query', 'add_inspiration_category');      So, basically I'm filtering the archive pages result based on the id in the url. This works, except when I'm filtering on a category, the main menu dissapears from the header. If I remove the `?category=23` from the url or comment out the section above where I set the `tax_query`, it works as expected again. Anyone know what this is?


title: Setting default thumbnails size & creating multiple thumbnail sizes

text: Two quick questions. **How does default thumbnail size work?**               if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {        add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails');        set_post_thumbnail_size( 800, 600, true );     }      What does above code really mean? Does it mean all my thumbnails will be 800x600 or smaller? Because even after setting set_post_thumbnail_size `get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)` points to full-sized thumbnails (like 2500x1200). I don't really need that big images... **When do WordPress create (custom) thumbnails?**               if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {       add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails');       set_post_thumbnail_size( 800, 600, true );       add_image_size( 'foo', 400, 300, true );       add_image_size( 'bar', 200, 150, true );      }      When are these custom thumbnails created (like image-800x600.jpg / image-400x300.jpg etc.) ? Only during upload process? What if I'm just changing themes to theme based on add_image_size functions with different thumbnail sizes, do I have to reupload all my images to get right sizes? If yes, then using timthumb over add_image_size wasn't that bad idea... Thanks!

title: $is_iphone - to redirect a page

text: I have a responsive site that works well with @media queries except for 1 or 2 maps that are embedded in an iframe and use html5 overlays to display location markers. When viewing the site in general, the @media queries work fine, but viewing the specific map pages on different devices results in varying success - iphone retina for example shows the overlay completely in the wrong place, as does ipad, whilst android seems fine. Rather than trying to create different css @media queries for different devices, I've decided the easiest solution will be to redirect any mobile user to an alternative full size map (a html file that is contained in the root folder, but outside of WP) that is scaleable and zoomable. However, I've tried a variety of conditional statements to achieve this and the one that works the best seems to be the global WP variable $is_iphone. This works for iphone and android - but I am unable to determine the exact screen size / device response at which this variable returns true. Is there a list or some specifications somewhere that show the controllers? For example Galaxy tab 10.1 does not respond to this variable, and neither does the ipad. So - my question is, what php function can I harness to best target the most popular devices? I've tried adding the various functions to detect user-agent with minimal success. I do NOT want a mobile plugin as this is just for 1 page - so please don't suggest wptouch! Currently I'm using this statement within the page template, but as mentioned, it's not very accurate;               <?php if ($is_iphone) : ?>          <script type="text/javascript">     <!--     var answer = confirm ("Mobile device detected.\nClick OK to view a larger, zoomable    map or click Cancel to stay on this page.")     if (answer)     window.location="../map1-full.html"     else     alert ("Redirect cancelled.\nReload the page to display this option again.")          // -->     </script>     <?php endif; ?>

title: Best Way to Enable Two Step Authentication

text: I'm looking for a bit of guidance on setting up a two step authentication system in WordPress. I've looked at a few of the main plugins and they seem to fall in to two camps:   * Add an extra field to the login form   * Add another authentication cookie in addition to the standard WP cookie I don't really like the UI of an extra login field, and I don't feel knowledgeable enough to setup a cookie based authentication system that is secure enough to be worth it. Is there third option I'm missing? Note: I did see this similar post, but that consisted mainly of plugin recommendations, and I would like to write something myself if possible. **Update:** Since my site will only have a handful of privileged users, I decided to add a query string argument that, when present, will cause the extra login field to be shown. This way, normal users don't ever see the extra field, and I don't have to worry about managing an extra authentication cookie.

This works though domain.com/events/term How do I get it to work with the other way also?


title: Logging in user automatically from non-WP ASP.net site?

text: At the time I was brought in, the client had a fully WP site and I had specific tasks to built surveys and reporting available only to logged in users. Since completion, the client's other developers have moved their eCommerce portion, and therefore the user administration, to an ASP.net solution. Now they are asking my advice on whether there is a way to link back to the content I created in WP without requiring the user to log into WP. The content needs needs a logged in user because surveys and reports are only view-able by the client who creates them. I know 0 about ASP, but I wonder is there a way to bridge the two? Perhaps when a new account is created on the ASP side to also creates a matching account in WP?


title: Similar posts formatting

text: I'm using the similar posts plugin `http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/similar-posts/`, and I want the similar posts to show on the same line instead of as a list... like link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4 instead of   link 1   link 2   link 3   link 4 I posted this on the wordpress forum and on the plugin's official site days ago and still no answer... please help me! (I know very little about coding, so try to be specific, and if you give me code explain what each line does so I can learn please) thanks! Added info: I'm using mostly default settings for the plugin, I think the only change I made was to set it to only consider tags. I would think there would be something I could change on the output settings tab, but I have no idea what. I've got it set to display after the content because I couldn't figure out what file to put `<?php similar_posts(); ?>` and that's really where I wanted it anyways so it worked out perfectly. Oh, I am using the default theme Twenty Ten. Follow the link to wordpress forums in my chosen answer below for the missing parts of the discussion.

Update... I fixed it by changing this in the index.php file               <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
                     <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
      to               <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
                     <?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading →', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>                     <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '
' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '
' ) ); ?>
      basically copying the stuff from the else statemnt. It worked, but I know it's a sloppy way of fixing it, so if anyone can tell me the better way of doing it I'd appreciate it.


title: Adding new row to wp_post table

text: I want to add 2 more rows (for voting up or down) to my default wordpress posts table. Would those rows be deleted when I update my WP version, or cause any other problem? An alternative would be to create a separate table but it's much faster and easier to query from 1 in my case.


title: Missing sidebar parameter "fix" - before_content

text:
as you know the sidebar parameters from register_sidebar() that control the widget layout are               - before_widget     - after_widget     - before_title     - after_title      the problem is that you cannot implement certain type of designs because a parameter like '`before_content`' is missing. for example:

         title

         content

      a HTML structure like this is only possible if you add `<div class="content">` in the `after_title` parameter. The problem is that if you do this, widgets without titles will break the page layout :( so is there a solution to somehow add that `<div class="content">` after `div.title`, or after `div.container` if title is missing?


title: Echo custom taxonomy term name

text:

title: Add ALT attribute to Pin It Button image to pass HTML5 validation

text: I am using the Pinterest "Pin It" Button plugin so I can add to my posts/images. However, part of the Pin In button uses this code:               <img border="0" class="pib-count-img" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="Pin It" />      There is no ALT attribute for the image and my blog is failing HTML5 validation on http://validator.w3.org because of this. I keep getting the error: 'An img element must have an alt attribute, except under certain conditions. For details, consult guidance on providing text alternatives for images.' How can I add the ALT attribute ( `alt="Pin It"` ) to the image used for the Pin It button so that my blog pages pass validation? [ Note: I've tried jQuery `$('.pib-count-img').attr('alt', 'Pin It');` but with no success. ]

title: AJAX vs Fragment Caching for W3 Total Cache

text: I'm running a WP site with WooCommerce and I want to do some caching. I'm going to exclude the pages such as the cart/checkout for obvious reasons however there are a couple of the things on the site I would like to stay dynamic and not be cached. An example is the number of items in the cart and there's also a block of html that displays differently whether you're logged in or not. So my question is, should I load these via AJAX or should I define them as fragments using mfunc? What are the advantages and benefits for each and which one is recommended for this task? Cheers

title: Can I generate then display a mixed list of linked and unlinked terms

text: Does anyone know a straightforward way to display a mixed list of linked and unlinked (custom) terms, dependent on whether there is more than one instance of a term being used? i.e. I have an item that may have three or four terms within a taxonomy. Of these terms, two or three may have also been applied to other items, but one or more only to that item. I want to display a list of terms for the item where if the term is used for other items, it's a link to a list of these, but if the item is the only one with that term, it isn't a link. (Object being to not provide a link if that link will only show the one item already being viewed!) Therefore I can't (I don't think) just use _get_the_term_list_ because this provides a linked list of all terms, regardless of how many instances of a term there are. I've got something working using _wp_get_object_terms_ where there's only one term from a custom taxonomy assigned to a post, but I need to do the same thing where there are multiple terms, some of which should be links and some not. I'm sure it would be possible by working out some long and clever script, but I was wondering if anyone knows an easy way [ not that I'd object if someone has already worked out the long and complex script and can point me to it! :-) ] I guess an alternative would be a fairly complex script but defined as a function, so the script itself is only entered once and I can use something simple each time I need it, but learning how to create functions from scratch is a challenge I've not taught myself yet! If it helps with understanding - i.e. I haven't explained myself as well as I thought! - you can see an example of the challenge here. The BP tag, for instance, links to a list of items tagged BP ... but the list consists only of the one item a visitor was already viewing. The surveys tag used further down, links to a list where the original item is only one of two with that term. Any help / suggestions really appreciated! :-)


title: Enqueue script/style with multiple GET parameters

text: I am trying to enqueue a style with two GET parameters, but the output is not correct. Here's what I have:               wp_enqueue_style('colors-css', '/root/assets/css/colors.css?style=blue');      The problem is, when it's rendered to the browser, it looks like this:               http://domain.com/root/assets/css/colors.css?style=blue&ver=3.9      It seems when there is already one parameter defined in the URL, Wordpress does not know how to add the version correctly with the `&` symbol. Any ideas how to correct this?


title: 2 loops, is_home won't work, count is off

text: Alright, I've made a bunch of themes over the years, and I've written a lot of queries. And I just realized that I apparently have no clue how to get multiple queries to behave. So, here is the loops from my index.php:                       <?php do_action( 'voodoo_pre_loop' ); ?>                  <?php if( is_home() ) : ?>                      <?php $args = array(                     'posts_per_page' => 1,                     'post__in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),                     'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1                 );                 $my_query = new WP_Query( $args );                 while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();                 $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>                 <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'featured' ); ?>                 <?php endwhile; ?>                      <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-2' ) ) : ?>                         <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-2' ); ?>                 <?php endif; ?>                      <?php $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;                 $more_args = array(                     'posts_per_page' => 9,                     'post__not_in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),                     'paged' => $paged                 );                 query_posts( $more_args ); ?>                  <?php endif; ?>                  <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>                      <?php voodoo_content_nav( 'nav-above' ); ?>                      <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();                 if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; ?>                          <?php $format = get_post_format();                     if ( false === $format )                         $format = 'standard';                         get_template_part( 'content', $format ); ?>                      <?php endwhile; ?>                      <?php voodoo_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>                  <?php else : ?>                      <?php voodoo_else(); ?>                  <?php endif; ?>      So, what I expected to have happen, was to have a loop. It would just grab one post. If there was a sticky, we'd grab it. If not, then the most recent post. That would always farm out to content-featured for the display. This loop seems to work. I get a stick / or not if there aren't any. And content- featured is called. This is all in the is_home, because I only want it to happen on the home/ front page. Still in is_home is a widget area. That ain't complicated. Next up, a second loop. My logic, the query was still inside the is_home. On the front page, I wanted 9 posts, never any stickies, no duplicates of that first post. On subsequent pages, I figured I didn't need that query. I just want all the other pages to show my standard 10 posts. No featured thing, no sidebar, etc. So where this seems to get me, is that first post, the widget, and a mess. That second area, I only ever get 7 posts. On subsequent pages, I still get that first featured loop which I don't want. And I only get 8 posts. I have read all over the internet, and I'm obviously not grasping something. Any ideas: Why is_home or is_front_page won't work here? Why I can't get my numbers right? (1+9 posts is home, 10 posts remaining pages) I'd love a little help here so I can understand this all a bit better. Thanks!

I have checked online a ton about this but cant see why I am getting this blank error array... This is for a front end uploader for users. Does wp_handle_upload care about user privileges ie if logged in or not admin? if so what should I do to just upload this damn thing to the server? I just need the url link by the end of this function. Thanks!


title: automated import from blogger

text: I am looking for a way to make the Blogger importer tool run automatically to update a blog content category automatically. I appreciate that Google does not like duplicate content, but the site I am making will not be a site that only has duplicate content. What my client wants is a means of consolidating all their content across the web in to one place- a bit like the way you can make your facebook updates go to twitter etc. Part of this is their Blogger blog, but also they will be posting things like their Soundcloud music and their Youtube videos and all sorts of other stuff. The 'Blog' section of the site is only a small part of this and the posts imported from blogger will be accompanied by site specific posts. So just wondering if anyone has any smart ideas on how I could go about achieving this? Is this something I would have to do with a Cron job, or maybe it could happen in the background when someone visits the home page? Any ideas most welcome :)


title: How to query custom post then display sections by meta value

text:
This seems like an easy thing to do but I am missing something here. I have a custom post type called "recipient" and a meta check box called "`yes_current`" - (we help children with cancer and run events for them so we need to know who is a current recipient and who is a past recipient.) We want to display two sections on our RECIPIENT page: CURRENT RECIPIENTS and PAST RECIPIENTS. My thought is to query the loop to get all of the `custom_post_types` that equal recipient, then display the featured image for all CURRENT recipients (if yes_current is ON) in the Current section, then do the same for PAST recipients in the Past section. Thank you guys! CODE:
CURRENT Recipients
          <?php $current_loop = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'recipient', 'posts_per_page' => '-1', 'yes_current' => 'on'));          if( $current_loop->have_posts() ): while( $current_loop->have_posts() ): $current_loop-the_post();           <?php get_the_post_thumbnail($page->ID, 'thumbnail'); ?>          <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
PAST Recipients
          <?php $current_loop = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'recipient', 'posts_per_page' => '-1', 'yes_current' => 'off'));          if( $current_loop->have_posts() ): while( $current_loop->have_posts() ): $current_loop->the_post();           <?php get_the_post_thumbnail($page->ID, 'thumbnail'); ?>          <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>      ## Edit Custom post meta code:               $meta_boxes[] = array( 'id' => 'yes_current', 'title' => 'Current Recipient', 'pages' => array( 'recipient' ), 'context' => 'side', 'priority' => 'low', 'fields' => array( array( 'name' => 'Current Recipient', 'id' => "{$prefix}yes_current", 'type' => 'checkbox', // Value can be 0 or 1 'std' => 1, ), ),

title: Display upcoming events in the next 30 days by querying posts with timestamp in custom meta

text: I have a custom post type "event" which stores a custom meta as a timestamp ($event_date). The date is always in a dd-mm-yyyy format, so I can generate a unix timestamp from this key. The timestamp doesn't match the pubdate, it's just any date set in the future. I'd like to make a wp query to list all upcoming posts (events) ie comparing present time with these timestamps and ordering the posts accordingly (show upcoming first, closer to present date). Pubdate should be disregarded; if date is ambiguous (if two events have same $event_date), then order them alphabetically or whatever. I would like also to be able to query only the events occurring in the next 30 days. I'm going to try this, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to do, because I don't know how to get only the posts scheduled within 30 days from now:               query_posts(array(         'posts_per_page' => 30,             'meta_key' => 'event_date',         'meta_value' => date(Y-m-d), // I could use directly unix timestamps         'meta_compare' => '>',             'orderby' => 'meta_value',             'order' => 'ASC'     ));      this should sort the posts with the posts occurring in the future first... howerver that doesn't necessarily mean they will be 30 days from now; suppose I want already to publish something that is going to happen in 60 days or next year... How to set a costraint for the query to display only the posts occurring in the next 30 days or any set amounts of days/period?

title: How to login with email only no username?

text: After searching for a couple of days and reading 2 year old threads I'm having difficulty finding a solution to the problem of having users login by email only. At first I was delighted to see WP_Email_Login only to find out you can still use your username to login. I'm not sure how to go about writing this as a plugin. My idea is to override the register_new_user function. I didn't see this on the "pluggable" functions list. Can I use filters/action do accomplish this? I realize it's not fashionable to edit the core files so I'm hoping a solution is out there however if one does not exist I'll take my chances. In the first line of the "register_new_user" function in wp-login.php I can add:               $nickname_variable(??) = $user_login // set the nickname to the username     $user_login = $user_email; // set the user_login/username to the email address      This works quite nicely since WordPress doesn't allow people to change their username. In the Register Screen (form) it asks for the Username & Email; I'd like to set the Username to the Nickname variable (if someone can tell me what the nickname variable is called or where it's set during registration that'd be appreciated). Cheers, Smith

title: Where is the User's Admin Bar Preference stored? I want it to default to off for new users

text: In the `profile.php` admin page there is a checkbox for the _Toolbar_ : **Show Toolbar when viewing site**. I can't seem to find where this option is stored in the database. I would have thought it would be in the `wp_usermeta` table ... but I don't see it. My goal is to set the default value of this to "off" for new users. Then, of course, they would have the option to turn it on if they wanted.

title: why the same code got different results when using query_posts in functions.php and index.php

title: Plugin to create forms using HTML

text: Until recently I've been using Custom Contact Forms to create some more advanced forms. The sole reason I've chosen this plugin was the ability to create my own layouts and basically just code clean HTML with CCF taking care of the rest. However, recently I came across this topic and realized how vulnerable the plugin might actually be. Therefore, my question is: is there any other safe Forms plugin that allows me to create my own HTML-based - not UI-based - forms? I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Edit: Since I don't want to expose the vulnerability (however obvious it is), a temporary solution is to hard-code the recipient e-mail in the plugin code itself. If anybody would like to do that find and edit: `/wp- contents/plugins/custom-contact-forms/custom-contact-forms-front.php line 427` and replace               $dest_email_array = $this->getDestinationEmailArray($_POST['destination_email']);      with               $dest_email_array = $this->getDestinationEmailArray('your@mail.com');      Other solutions I can think of, if you really are stuck with the plugin and have to use different e-mail recipients, is to use Advanced Custom Fields Plugin, to create page-dependent recipients, however, it's not a place to describe the quite lengthy process of doing so.

I don't want the validate_plugin function for my plugin right now, I couldn't find a declared hook, `do_action` or `apply_filter`, within the function in the `wp-admin/includes/plugin.php` file.               <?php     function run_activate_plugin( $plugin ) {         $current = get_option( 'active_plugins' );         $plugin = plugin_basename( trim( $plugin ) );              if ( !in_array( $plugin, $current ) ) {             $current[] = $plugin;             sort( $current );             do_action( 'activate_plugin', trim( $plugin ) );             update_option( 'active_plugins', $current );             do_action( 'activate_' . trim( $plugin ) );             do_action( 'activated_plugin', trim( $plugin) );         }              return null;     }     run_activate_plugin( 'plugin/subfolder/plugin.php');          ?>      If i activate the plugin from subfolder it got deactivate because of that above function. So that the reason i want to disable the validate_plugin function for my plugin alone.               run_activate_plugin( 'plugin/subfolder/plugin.php');      Generally run_activate_plugin argument is to be look like               run_activate_plugin( 'akismet/akismet.php');      But now i am doing activate the plugin from subfolder like this way               run_activate_plugin( 'akismet/newfolder/akismet.php');      Any suggestions?


title: Powering only a subfolder with WordPress on a LAMP stack with an nginx reverse proxy

text: [I just posted this on the WP Forums, too, before anyone starts Googling and saying that this is posted somewhere else] I'm hoping this isn't a duplicate, but I've been searching here and Googling and I haven't been able to find anything. I'm currently running a web server that constitutes nginx as both a front-end proxy to a LAMP stack and the web server for static sites. I'm working on some development for a site that will be powered by WP. Currently, mysite.com is served up by nginx as a static site. The WP install will be served out of a subfolder, mysite.com/sub. The document root for the nginx server (the static files) and the document root for the Apache server (all dynamic content, and also where the WP files are currently installed) are NOT the same directory. I want to install WP in mysite.com/sub so that only this subdirectory is powered by WP while completely ignoring the root of my site but all of the articles I have read discuss using WP to power the root while simply installing the files elsewhere. It took me forever to write all the correct proxy passing rules in my nginx configuration just to make the installation happen properly, and that is all good and well, but WordPress is operating out of mysite.com instead of mysite.com/sub and I'm not 100% sure what the easiest way to fix this is, since mysite.com isn't powered by Apache and so there are no PHP or .htaccess files to tinker with in the root of that directory. I realize that this is sort of rambling and difficult to explain, I'll be happy to provide answer to any questions for anyone that thinks they can point me down the right path. I would prefer to use this structure instead of using a subdomain, so if anyone out there has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it.


title: Search custom post type by meta data

text: I have a custom post type 'Property' which my users need to be able to search by meta data. I have 3 search functions - 2 on the frontend 1 in the admin area - 2 of which are running as expected and one which doesn't seem to be filtering results at all. I think there may be a problem with either my definition or usage of custom query_vars. In my functions.php I have the following:               function add_query_vars($public_query_vars) {         $public_query_vars[] = 'bedrooms';         $public_query_vars[] = 'type';         $public_query_vars[] = 'location';         return $public_query_vars;     }     add_filter('query_vars', 'add_query_vars');          function meta_search_query($query) {              $query_args_code = array(           'posts_per_page' => 5,           'post_type' => 'nc_property',           'meta_key' => 'nc_code',           'meta_value' => $query->query_vars['s'],           'meta_compare' => 'LIKE'         );                   $query_args_meta = array(             'posts_per_page' => -1,             'post_type' => 'nc_property',             'meta_query' => array(                 'relation' => 'AND',                 array(                     'key' => 'nc_bedrooms',                     'value' => $query->query_vars['bedrooms'],                     'compare' => 'LIKE'                 ),                 array(                     'key' => 'nc_type',                     'value' => $query->query_vars['type'],                     'compare' => 'LIKE'                 ),                 array(                     'key' => 'nc_location',                     'value' => $query->query_vars['location'],                     'compare' => 'LIKE'                 )             )         );              if (is_admin() && $query->is_search ) {             query_posts($query_args_code);              } elseif (!is_admin() && $query->is_search ) {             if ($_REQUEST["which_form"] == 'meta_form') {                 query_posts($query_args_meta);                  } elseif ($_REQUEST["which_form"] == 'code_form'){                 query_posts($query_args_code);                  }         }       }     add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'meta_search_query');      Searching by the property code works no problem at all in both the frontend and backend however trying to filter results by the custom query vars - location, type and bedrooms - falls flat everytime. An example query string which is created is as follows:               /property/?post_type=nc_property&which_form=meta_form&bedrooms=Two&type=Apartment&location=Bahceli      There is one property on the site which matches those details but WordPress returns all results each time. Have I missed something? EDIT: It turns out that because my search form for my meta queries was not using an element with `'s'` as its name the `$query->is_search` condition of my if statement was returning false, meaning my meta_query simply wasn't being called. Kudos to fischi for spotting this for me! :D


title: Removing Image Sizes for Custom Post Type

text: _I'm trying to go about this without the use of a plugin, but actions and filters_ Is there a way to remove extra image sizes generated by WordPress based on the Custom Post Type? I've been trying to work with the `intermediate_image_sizes_advanced` filter but it doesn't look like it has access to `$post` or `post_type`. So I'm using the function like so:               function filter_image_sizes($sizes) {         global $post;         global $post_type;              if($post->post_type == 'cpt_slides' || $post_type == 'cpt_slides'){             unset( $sizes['thumbnail']);             unset($sizes['medium']);             unset( $sizes['large']);         }              return $sizes;     }     add_filter('intermediate_image_sizes_advanced', 'filter_image_sizes');      **The Reasoning / Situation** I've created a Slides Custom Post Type (like an Image Slider) that uses the Featured Image to allow the user to upload "Slides". I also have a few custom image sizes, but one specifically for the slides alone. Since the slide images are going to be one static size, I don't want WordPress to generate all these extra image sizes I'll never use, hence the question.

title: the_author_meta not resetting

text: I'm looping through posts normally. I want to display the author ... simple `<?php the_author(); ?>` gives me "Patrick Daly". Nah, I just want the first name, so I use `<?php the_author_meta( 'first_name' ); ?>` and now I get .... "John"??? So the actual author of the post is "Patrick Daly" -- whose user account has all the correct information in it (nothing about John). The loop seems to not be clearing "John's" meta and continues to reuse it. It does it's job when using `the_author();` though. Anything I need to be doing to clear `the_author_meta();`? Here's what each function outputs on a single post (where the values in the database don't have John Doe):                          the_author_meta( 'ID' ); : 1        the_author_meta( 'first_name' ); : John         the_author_meta( 'last_name' ); : Doe      the_author_meta( 'display_name' ); : Patrick Daly                           the_author(); : Patrick Daly      This is a really `if( have_posts() )` query, but I've tried `wp_reset_postdata()` and of course it didn't work.


title: How to handle complex data with Settings API

text: I hope my question isn't out of the scope of this website and that someone can help me with it. I'm currently studying the WP Settings API and I'm wondering how to create a form management section which will allow you to do the following:   * Create fields   * Delete fields   * Change field properties (type, default value, etc)   * Change order of fields I do know how to create the mentioned form and all the features, I`m just not sure about the correct way to save the desired form format (fields order, field properties). First thing that came to my mind was to create hidden fields and modify their values using javascript but something tells me that there should be a better solution for this situation. Any suggestion is appreciated!


title: Display a Page of Results from Multiple Taxonomy Queries

text: I created a theme for a client with three CPTs and a Custom Taxonomy for each CPT. It is currently set up as CPT > North, South, East, West Each CPT has the same categories > activities, dining, events, & shopping Currently visitors to the site can view the Activities for each Region i.e. show all North Region Activities, or all South Region Dining, etc. The client wants to add a global page which show ALL ACTIVITIES for ALL REGIONS, ALL DINING for ALL REGIONS, etc. I need to build a query which first loads each CPT, and then grabs all posts in the "Activity" category. This is what I have so far, which is not working.                   $myquery['tax_query'] = array(             'relation' => 'OR',                 array(         'taxonomy' => array('north_category', 'south_category', 'east_category',  'west_category'),         'terms' => array('actvities'),         'field' => 'slug',             ),         );         query_posts($myquery);      Any help/examples/solutions are much appreciated!

title: Query pulling a single post per month

text:
I am trying to only show a single post per month on a query. I can set the date as a variable and use something like the php array_unique function to check the dates and only echo out unique ones, however this feels a bit 'hacky'. Is there a built in query variable, or something built in WordPress I can use instead? As for the 'hacky' option, I am quite new with PHP and struggling with using the aforementioned function. Checking the date is unique and only echoing out said variables when it is already inside a while loop is confusing me somewhat. Below is the query I am using currently.               <?                  $news_archive = array(                   'post_type'=> 'news',             'posts_per_page' => 6,             'orderby' => 'date'         );              query_posts($news_archive);                    echo '
';                 while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();                    $date = the_date('F m Y','','',false);             $date = explode(' ', $date);                      $month_str = $date[0];             $month_int = $date[1];             $year = $date[2];                              echo '

title: How to load dynamic option with ajax

text: Basically I'm creating an options page in which the user will click on a button to display a text input field, which will then be populated by the user with a name. This name will be then saved into the db using ajax (all that's working already). The user will be able to as many names she/he wants. At the moment, as a feedback to the user, I'm adding a list with the names that were previously saved with jQuery, however I'd like to load the options from the db to check whether the info collected by jQuery is correct. I've been doing some research and it seems the way to do it is to use `wp_localize_script` which I'm finding it cumbersome to load dynamically created data. Is using `wp_localize_script` the correct way to do it or should I just make an ajax call as you'd normally do?


title: PHP/MySQL issues when running WP on EC2 cloud

text: I am trying to create a wordpress blog on an Amazon EC2 instance. The amazon base image had apache and php already installed. I installed MySQL manually in my user directory. I am able to login to the MySQL database from linux command line. But I am not able to connect to the MySQL db from php. The scenario I tested was the following. I have a php file which I host through apache. When I open that php file in a browser; the MySQL connection fails. The following is the message in the browser               Error establishing a database connection          This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at xxx.xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:port. This could mean your host's database server is down.              Are you sure you have the correct username and password?         Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?         Are you sure that the database server is running?      My question is. Is it incorrect to manually install MySQL when php has already been installed? I mean is it recommended to compile-install the php with mysql first? **EDIT** php/apache was already pre-installed in the machine which I instantiated from amazon. It has amazon linux as the OS.               rpm -qa |grep -i httpd     httpd-tools-2.2.16-1.0.amzn1.x86_64     httpd-2.2.16-1.0.amzn1.x86_64          rpm -qa |grep -i php     php-common-5.3.5-1.11.13.amzn1.x86_64     php-5.3.5-1.11.13.amzn1.x86_64     php-cli-5.3.5-1.11.13.amzn1.x86_64      Thanks. The yum install mysql-server helped a bit. So first I removed my manual installation; and then yum install mysql-server; Additionally yum install -y php php-mysql **EDIT 2** I debugged a bit more. What I found is that if I put the wordpress directory under apache root and don't do port forwarding (no Proxy and proxyreverse), then I am able to connect to the DB from the WP install files. However, if I put the WP files under JBoss and do port forwarding from apache to JBoss, then from within JBoss, I am unable to connect through WP php files to the MySQL DB. So the problem is somewhere within the Caucho Quercus part of JBoss. Any suggestions? Thanks

text: I want to query for posts with a certain meta value. I would use the `WP_Query` but when in a loop (correct me if i am wrong.. I am learning wordpress; is it only when in loop? is the `the_post()` that sets the globals?), it changes the `global $post`. Is it possible to loop without setting up the global values?

If I want to query `WP_Query` with meta fields conditions and expect and want only post, how do I get it? Do I still need to loop?

I use the code below but it displays nothing under Page Template column although I have already defined a value for the page_template custom field of the page               add_filter('manage_pages_columns', 'column_page');     function column_page($defaults) {         $defaults['column_template'] = 'Page Template';         return $defaults;     }               function page_template_field() {         $custom_field_id = get_post_meta($post_ID);         if ($custom_field_id) {             $custom_field_value = get_post_meta($custom_field_id,'page_template');             return $custom_field_value;         }     }            add_action('manage_pages_custom_column','column_page_content',10,2);     function column_page_content($column_name, $post_ID) {         if ($column_name == 'column_template') {             $column_template_list = page_template_field($post_ID);                 if ($column_template_list) {                 echo '<p> '. $column_template_list .' </p>';             }         }     }


title: Using WPAlchemy metabox values in another metabox

text: I'm building a quite complex custom post type structure and I would need some help regarding my metaboxes. What I want to do:   1. Thank's to the `have_fields_and_multi()` function, the user enters data in simple text input fields (with a "Add new" button)   2. The values from the previous text inputs should be used to build a `select` dropdown in another metabox. To make it simple, here is a mockup (also attached to this post): http://idzr.org/0c95 I have the first part working, it's easy. But I can't figure out how to make the second part to work. If I use a `while($mb->have_fields_and_multi('aaa'))` in another `while($mb->have_fields_and_multi('bbb'))` the page is infinite (the loop doesn't end. If I use `foreach` I have other problems. Do you have an idea about how I can achieve this ? Thanks!!!

title: ACF Plugin Conditional Logic add 'published' option

text: Is there a way to use the `conditional logic` of the ACF plugin to test whether the post has been published natively? I think I might be able to do this manually, but later updates would break the functionality. Another way to ask the question is: Is there a way to extend the plogin via a theme to add this functionality? `WP v3.8 ACF v4`


title: Load wordpress enviroment for external content?

text: We have a couple of forms and landing pages that cannot be stored in our wordpress installation as posts/pages. For this reason they remain apart from our Wordpress installation in a folder though they share the menubar, stylesheet and other resources. My question is whether there is a way to integrate some Wordpress functionalities to them so as to be able to use some plugin functions we need (we are using a plugin for localization that works amazingly but it would be trouble if we had to localize these pages differently). Is there a way to make this pages part of the Wordpress installation while keeping the content in them?


title: Using has_tag() outside loop

text: I want to if the check next post has a specific tag. I tried the following code, but it is not working because `has_tag()` only works in the loop. I want to use it outside the loop.               <?php if ( has_tag( 'mario', $post->ID ) ) : ?>     my content     <?php endif; ?>      The following code lists the tags from post, but I don't know how to make it work with an `if()` / `else()` condition:               global $post;     foreach ( get_the_tags( $post->ID ) as $tag ) {         echo $tag->name . ', ';     }

title: block a page from logged out users and redirect to homepage

text: How am I blocking certain pages from being viewed by logged out users? I have some pages like a dashboard for example that each user has to display their posts an is found in the top level like mysite.com/dashboard. I made a custom template and assigned it to the page "dashboard" but I need to block all non logged in users and limit to author level and up. If the user doesn't meet the criteria then I need to redirect them to the homepage. I tried placing this at the top of the template but it returned an error.               get_currentuserinfo();     if (!( is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can( 'publish_posts' )) ) {       wp_redirect(home_url());       return false;     }      But this leaves the error..
