] | I have bought a wordpress template but the developers say they cannot help me with what I need.
The theme has a hotel reservation system integrated, and the form brings a field to “place” the user email, however this option is disabled, only a Text appears that says “Need to be logged in” but when I click over there nothing happens.
I guess that email field should at least take me to a page (maybe user registration), or at least that's what I wish to happen.
I've been reviewing the PHP code of that form, but I really don't know what to do because I don't handle PHP, I don't know how I could solve this issue.
I tried several times to fix that by adding an a href= but nothing happens.
Is there someone who could please help me or tell me what to do?
This is the code of that php field on the form:
```
<span class="mkdf-input-email">
<label><?php esc_html_e( 'Email:', 'mkdf-hotel' ) ?></label>
<input type="text" class="mkdf-res-email" name="user_email" placeholder="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Need to be logged in', 'mkdf-hotel' ) ?>" disabled value="<?php echo esc_attr($email) ?>" /> </span>
```
I would like to add this url link (<https://www.mayanhills.com/cuenta-de-usuario>) on the `Need to be logged in’ text field.
Here is the page link to see the form if you want to do that:
<http://www.mayanhills.com/hotel-room/habitacion-sencilla/>
Sorry about my english, hope somebody can understand and help me please.
Thank you so much | I would advise againt using anonymous functions for callback (when ever you can) as you can't use a targeted `remove_action` on it.
What Maythan8 answered will work but it can be done with fewer functions.
```php
add_action('template_redirect', 'bt_maintenance_redirect');
function bt_maintenance_redirect () {
if (is_page(4848) || current_user_can('administrator')) return;
if (wp_safe_redirect(esc_url(home_url('maintenance/')))) exit;
}
```
You used `esc_url_raw` but this function is used for escaping url before DB storage, if your url is just for output use `esc_url`.

But it does not work properly. The code from stackoverflow:</p>
<p>On the home page I added to the link something like this:</p>
<pre><code><a href="<php the_permalink();?>?template=gallery"> Gallery Page </a>
</code></pre>
<p>And in the custom post type single page add this chunk of code:</p>
<pre><code>if($_POST['template'] == 'gallery') {
get_template_part('single', 'gallery'); // the file for this one is single-gallery.php
}elseif($_POST['template'] == 'other'){
get_template_part('single', 'other'); // the file for this one is single-other.php

] | This is a strange task but I really faced with it. On the home page there is loop for showing all custom post type. And I need to have oportunity when user click to the cpt link from the home page display one type of the single page. And if user go to the custom post type from inner page show other single custom post type template. I found old answer about this on the [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33301877/multiple-templates-for-single-custom-post-type)
But it does not work properly. The code from stackoverflow:
On the home page I added to the link something like this:
```
<a href="<php the_permalink();?>?template=gallery"> Gallery Page </a>
```
And in the custom post type single page add this chunk of code:
```
if($_POST['template'] == 'gallery') {
get_template_part('single', 'gallery'); // the file for this one is single-gallery.php
}elseif($_POST['template'] == 'other'){
get_template_part('single', 'other'); // the file for this one is single-other.php
}
```
At first glance, this makes sense, but it doesn't work. Please help to solve this. | I think you need to work on the`template_include` hook. <https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/template_include>
At this point you can add a condition and returning the correct template path
```
add_filter( 'template_include', 'redirect_single' );
function redirect_single( $template ){
if($_POST['template'] == 'gallery') {
$template = path/to/your/template;
}elseif($_POST['template'] == 'other'){
$template = path/to/your/template;
}
return $template;
}

I currently use the following code in my functions.php to move my featured image within posts from the default position above the first paragraph and below the title, to underneath the first paragraph.
The problem is that it also shows the featured image, in the same spot, on pages 2, 3, 4, etc of the same article (when I have used `<!--nextpage-->`). The featured image should only show on the first page of any article.

In that case, then this might work for you:
```php
function insert_feat_image( $content ) {
global $page, $multipage;
if ( $multipage && $page <= 1 ) {
// it's the 1st page, so run your code here.
} // else, it's not paginated or not the 1st page
return $content;
}
```
Explanation about the global variables above:
1. `$multipage` is a boolean flag indicating whether the page/post is paginated using the `<!--nextpage-->` tag (or the [Page Break block](https://wordpress.org/support/article/page-break-block/) in Gutenberg), and the flag would be a *true*, as long as the post contains the `<!--nextpage-->` tag and that the global post data has already been setup, e.g. [`the_post()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_post/) or [`setup_postdata()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/setup_postdata/) has been called. (which is true when inside The Loop)
2. The page number is stored in `$page`, but the number can also be retrieved using `get_query_var( 'page' )`. (yes, it's `page` and *not* `paged`)
Alternate Solution
------------------
If you just wanted to know whether it's the first page or not, regardless how the page/post was paginated (and **only if** it was paginated or in the case of archives, it means there are more than one page of results), you can try this instead which should work on *any pages* (single Post/Page/CPT, category archives, search results pages, etc.):
```php
function insert_feat_image( $content ) {
global $page, $multipage, $paged, $wp_query;
$page_num = max( 1, $page, $paged );
/* Or you can use:
$page_num = max( 1, get_query_var( 'page' ), get_query_var( 'paged' ) );
*/
if ( ( $multipage || $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) && $page_num <= 1 ) {
// it's the 1st page, so run your code here.
} // else, it's not paginated or not the 1st page
return $content;
}

But this will <strong>never</strong> work in an AJAX request.</p>\n<p>For this reason, when you request the next page from AJAX it will always result in page <code>1</code>. If you want something other than page 1 then you need to include the number of the page you want in the javascript that sends the AJAX request, pass it along, then read it and put it in the <code>WP_Query</code> parameters directly. Even if there was a main query it would not be the same main query.</p>\n<p>Remember, every request to the server loads WordPress from a blank slate, AJAX request handlers share nothing with the page that your browser has open unless you explicitly send them the data you want to share along with the request as POST/GET variables. There is no shared pagination state behind the scenes or magic that glues it together.</p>\n<p>Additionally, because you included the pagination HTML in the AJAX response you'll now have a next page link that leads to page 2, but triggers AJAX that loads page 1 ( why would it know to load page 2? <code>get_query_var</code> won't work, there is no main query to get a query var from! ).</p>\n<hr />\n<p>What's more, I have a strong suspicion that you're either unaware of <code>archive-mycustompost.php</code>, the <code>pre_get_posts</code> filter, or the ability to change the URL of the CPT archive when registering the CPT, or that query parameters for the main query come from the URL and you can add extra parameters e.g. <code>example.com/?s=test&posts_per_page=7&paged=2</code> gets the second page of a search query for "Test" that has 7 posts per page. In the majority of cases a secondary query and a custom page template are completely unnecessary.</p>\n"

If possible with your design, you thus may use the WP REST API (instead of using the AP AJAX API) to create the request, an archive page + WP's main query loop + the related pagination features associated to that main query.</p>\n<p>If you prefer to create a WP pagination solution which uses exclusively WP AJAX via <code>$_POST</code>, you can easily do this by providing the additional number of the page you're requesting to your ajax handler via JS, and simply use 1 if none is provided. So my function above became:</p>\n<pre><code>function custom_retrieve_posts_function( $paged = 1 ) {\n\nif ( isset($_POST['page_to_request'] ) ) {\n $paged = intval( sanitize_text_field( isset( $_POST['page_to_request'] ) ) );\n}\n\n$args = array(\n 'post_type' => 'my_custom_post_type',\n 'tax_query' => $tax_query_array,\n 'orderby' => array(\n 'meta_value_num' => 'ASC',\n 'date' => 'DESC'\n ),\n 'meta_key' => 'my_custom_meta_key',\n 'posts_per_page' => 7,\n 'paged' => $paged\n);\n\n$query = new \\WP_Query( $args );\n$output = "";\nif ( $query->have_posts() ) {\n\n while ( $query->have_posts() ) {\n\n // Iterate next post of query result\n $query->the_post();\n\n $output .= get_the_content();\n\n }\n\n // Only display arrows if links have been obtained, so do it in this way\n $max_num_pages = $query->max_num_pages;\n\n $nav_links = "<div id=\\"navigation-links\\">".\n\n // If we're not on the first page, add a link allowing to go back to\n // the one previous to the one currently requested\n "<span id=\\"previous-link\\"".(\n ( $max_num_pages !== 1 ) ?\n " data-previous-page='".( $paged - 1 )."'>&#8678 Back" :\n ">"\n ).\n "</span>".\n\n // If we're not on the last page, add a link allowing to go forward to\n // the page subsequent to the one currently requested \n "<span id=\\"next-link\\"".(\n ( $max_num_pages > $paged ) ?\n " data-next-page='".( $paged + 1 )."'>Next &#8680" :\n ">"\n ).\n "</span>".\n\n "</div>";\n\n $output .= $nav_links;\n\n // Reset the wp_query loop\n wp_reset_postdata();\n \n } else {\n\n $output = "<p class=\\"no-results\\">Oops!</p>";\n\n}\n\necho $output;\n\n}\n</code></pre>\n<p>Note that I've added <code>date</code> into my <code>order</code> clause, additionally to what's been specified in my question above. This is because I've found out that page n of your pagination may show posts of previous pages m where m < n, if you have many posts which have the same meta value. Even using the offset parameter of the wp query etc. will not eliminate this problem. So I thought of first using the ordering I need in my case (the meta key), and then subsequently according to another value which is unique to posts, such as the posts' date. My thought was that like this I can assure that the posts will always be retrieved in exactly the same order, even if their meta value is the same. And well, to have the same order is crucial for proper pagination, no matter the context in which the function is called.</p>\n<p>As I imagine, WP transforms this WP_Query array into a SQL query to query for the according data. So, when using a data field which is unique to a post, but not a date but sth like a primary key in the DB, this may result in faster query times. Hence, instead of the <code>date</code> order key, you may use <code>ID</code>.</p>\n"

***UPDATE***
The function `custom_retrieve_posts_function()` (defined in a namespace within a class etc., but all of this is omitted here for simplicity) is called within a PHP script bound to the AJAX hook responsible for executing a custom filtered query via ajax.
So the script is called like this:
Main Plugin File holds this:
```
add_action(
'wp_ajax_myplugin_search_custom',
function() {
require MYPLUGIN_AJAX_DIR.'/custom_search.php';
wp_die();
}
);
add_action(
'wp_ajax_nopriv_myplugin_search_custom',
function() {
require MYPLUGIN_AJAX_DIR.'/custom_search.php';
wp_die();
}
);
```
With the content of `AJAX_DIR.'/custom_search.php'` being (again simplified, all naming conflicts are 100% avoided, so all classnames / namespaces are again omitted):
```
check_ajax_referer( 'ajax-nonce-content' );
require MYPLUGIN.'/custom_search_function.php';
custom_retrieve_posts_function();
```
I then also have a page template defined in my `themes/mycustomtheme/templates` directory, and within that page template, I simply call
```
require MYPLUGIN.'/custom_search_function.php';
custom_retrieve_posts_function();
```
Note that all of this works perfectly, expect from the problem that already displayed posts are re-displayed on subsequently paginated pages.
***UPDATE 2***
Sadly, I'm not able to make it working after making the commented adaptations via js (additionally pass the number of the page of the pagination to query). Like when I do this query via AJAX:
```
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'my_post_type',
'tax_query' => $tax_query_array,
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'meta_key' => 'my_metas_key',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page' => 7,
'paged' => 2
);
```
I still get one of the posts already shown on page 1 (a random one).
Same if I add `$args['offset'] = 7` and / or `$args['page'] = 2`, so I'm confused; what am I still not properly understanding here?? | Because of this line:
```php
$paged = get_query_var( "paged" ) ? get_query_var( "paged" ) : 1;
```
This is inside a function that is used on both an AJAX handler, and on a page request. `get_query_var` pulls the parameters from the main query ( aka the primary `WP_Query` that powers functions such as `the_post`, `have_posts()` etc ). But this will **never** work in an AJAX request.
For this reason, when you request the next page from AJAX it will always result in page `1`. If you want something other than page 1 then you need to include the number of the page you want in the javascript that sends the AJAX request, pass it along, then read it and put it in the `WP_Query` parameters directly. Even if there was a main query it would not be the same main query.
Remember, every request to the server loads WordPress from a blank slate, AJAX request handlers share nothing with the page that your browser has open unless you explicitly send them the data you want to share along with the request as POST/GET variables. There is no shared pagination state behind the scenes or magic that glues it together.
Additionally, because you included the pagination HTML in the AJAX response you'll now have a next page link that leads to page 2, but triggers AJAX that loads page 1 ( why would it know to load page 2? `get_query_var` won't work, there is no main query to get a query var from! ).
---
What's more, I have a strong suspicion that you're either unaware of `archive-mycustompost.php`, the `pre_get_posts` filter, or the ability to change the URL of the CPT archive when registering the CPT, or that query parameters for the main query come from the URL and you can add extra parameters e.g. `example.com/?s=test&posts_per_page=7&paged=2` gets the second page of a search query for "Test" that has 7 posts per page. In the majority of cases a secondary query and a custom page template are completely unnecessary. |

The [`wp_before_admin_bar_render` hook](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_before_admin_bar_render/) doesn't pass the admin bar object, but you can access it manually (from within a function or a class method) using `global` like so, just like the Codex example [here](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_before_admin_bar_render/#comment-4502):
```php
function remove_wp_logo() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( 'wp-logo' );

] | I made a custom plugin for inserting staging / production versions of a Google Tag Manager container based on the server's IP address.
How do I make it compatible with WP-CLI so it will update when I run the `wp plugin update --all` command? | You would implement this:
<https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/06/29/introducing-update-uri-plugin-header-in-wordpress-5-8/>
First you would add a `Update URI:` header to your plugin with a custom domain.
Second, you would add a filter to your plugin, using the filter name `update_plugins_{$hostname}` where `{$hostname}` is the value you gave your `Update URI:` . E.g. `Update URI: example.com` would have the filter `update_plugins_example.com`.
In this filter, you would then run some code that checks if there is an update for your plugin. When your code is finished running, it will return the answer.
<https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/update_plugins_hostname/>
The value you return will need to be an array containing the values in the parameter section. Or it can return `false` to indicate there are not updates.
The second and third parameters can be used to figure out which plugin WP is asking for update information.
There are very few examples of this filter being used, it's very new and the documentation describes how to use it instead of demonstrating.
Here's some untested pseudocode of what I think such a filter might look like:
```php
add_filter( 'update_plugins_example.com', function( $update, array $plugin_data, string $plugin_file, $locales ) {
// only check this plugin
if ( $plugin_file !== 'myplugin.php' ) {
return $update;
}
// already done update check elsewhere
if ( ! empty( $update ) ) {
return $update;
}
// CODE GOES HERE TO FIND UPDATE, maybe ask a server what
// the latest version number is and call `version_compare`?
$is_update_available = true;
// no updates found
if ( ! $is_update_available ) {
return false;
}
// Update found?
return [
'slug' => 'myplugin',
'version' => '9000',
'url' => 'example.com/myplugin/',
'package' => 'example.com/newversion.zip',
];
}, 10, 4 );
```
As for the actual checking of the update, that depends entirely on you, there is no canonical correct way to do that.
For example, you could toss a coin and return gibberish values. You could make a HTTP request to a file on a server to fetch the latest version number and compare it to the version installed. You could implement a license key check, or ping Githubs API for release versions, etc. It is entirely up to you. |

] | I have a category page, how do i display this category sibling categories on this page as well? I know how to display children categories:
```
<ul class="slider-container-list sub-categories-block front-categories-block front-categories-scroll">
<?php
$term = get_queried_object();
$children = get_terms( $term->taxonomy, array(
'parent' => $term->term_id,
'hide_empty' => false
) );
if ( $children ) {
foreach( $children as $subcat ){
echo '<li class="category-thumbnail-item"><a class="category-thumbnail" href="' . esc_url(get_term_link($subcat, $subcat->taxonomy)) . '">';
echo '<div class="category-thumbnail-image"><img src="' . z_taxonomy_image_url($subcat->term_id, 'medium'). '" data-pin-nopin="true" alt="'. $subcat->name .' Sub Category Image"> </div>';
echo '<div class="category-title">' . $subcat->name . '</div></a></li>';
}
}
?>
</ul>
```
Now i am trying to figure out how to display siblings... Should i call parent ID and children after? I think i need to get term\_id somehow, i am sure i am missing something:(
```
<ul class="slider-container-list sub-categories-block front-categories-block front-categories-scroll">
<?php
$term_id = 10;
$taxonomy_name = 'products';
$termchildren = get_term_children( $term_id, $taxonomy_name );
if ( $termchildren ) {
foreach ( $termchildren as $child ){
echo '<li class="category-thumbnail-item"><a class="category-thumbnail" href="' . esc_url(get_term_link($child, $child->taxonomy)) . '">';
echo '<div class="category-thumbnail-image"><img src="' . z_taxonomy_image_url($child->term_id, 'medium'). '" data-pin-nopin="true" alt="'. $child->name .' Sub Category Image"> </div>';
echo '<div class="category-title">' . $child->name . '</div></a></li>';
}
}
?>
</ul>
```
i assume, but how i exclude existing category i am on from this list. Hope it makes sense:) Please help anyone?
**UPDATE:** So i found the solution:
```
<ul class="slider-container-list sub-categories-block front-categories-block front-categories-scroll">
<?php
$term = get_queried_object();
$children = get_terms( $term->taxonomy, array(

if ( $children ) {
foreach( $children as $subcat ){
echo '<li class="category-thumbnail-item"><a class="category-thumbnail" href="' . esc_url(get_term_link($subcat, $subcat->taxonomy)) . '">';

<ul class="slider-container-list sub-categories-block front-categories-block front-categories-scroll">

$term = get_queried_object();
$siblings = get_terms( $term->taxonomy, array(

'hide_empty' => false,
) );
if ( $siblings ) {
foreach( $siblings as $sibling ){

I am able to display siblings here, but now my challenge is to
1. Exclude the existing category, that i am on.
2. And not to display siblings for the top parent categories

On a term archive page, e.g. at `example.com/category/foo/` (for the default `category` taxonomy),
1. You can use [`get_queried_object()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_queried_object/) to retrieve the term *object* for the term being queried (`foo` in the above sample URL).
```php
$term = get_queried_object();
$term_id = $term->term_id;
```
2. You can use [`get_queried_object_id()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_queried_object_id/) to retrieve just the term *ID* of the term being queried.
```php
$term_id = get_queried_object_id();
```
Now as for retrieving term's siblings, you can use [`get_terms()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_terms/) just like you did when retrieving the term's children. So for example, for the term being queried (or simply put, the current term),
```php
$taxonomy_name = 'products';
// Get the full term object/data.
$current_term = get_queried_object();
// Get the term's direct children.
// **Use 'child_of' instead of 'parent' to retrieve direct and non-direct children.
$children = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => $taxonomy_name,
'parent' => $current_term->term_id,
'hide_empty' => false,
) );
// Display the children.
if ( ! empty( $children ) ) {
echo "<h3>Children of $current_term->name</h3>";
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $children as $child ) {
echo "<li>$child->name</li>";
}
echo '</ul>';
}
// Get the term's direct siblings.
$siblings = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => $taxonomy_name,
'parent' => $current_term->parent,
'exclude' => array( $current_term->term_id ),
'hide_empty' => false,
) );
// Display the siblings.
if ( ! empty( $siblings ) ) {
echo "<h3>Siblings of $current_term->name</h3>";
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $siblings as $sibling ) {
echo "<li>$sibling->name</li>";
}
echo '</ul>';
}
```
And if you want to use [`get_term_children()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_term_children/), note that it retrieves all *direct and non-direct* children (just like `get_terms()` if `child_of` is used), and the function returns an *array of term **ID***s, hence in your `foreach`, you can use [`get_term()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_term/) to get the full term object/data.
```php
$term_id = get_queried_object_id(); // or just use a specific term ID, if you want to
$termchildren = get_term_children( $term_id, $taxonomy_name );
foreach ( $termchildren as $child_id ) {
$child = get_term( $child_id );
// ... your code.
}
```

> how i exclude existing category i am on from this list

* If you use `get_terms()`, you can use the `exclude` arg like you can see in my example above.
* If you use `get_term_children()`, then you can use `continue` like so: (but that's just an example; you can use `array_filter()` to filter the `$termchildren` array *before* looping through the items, if you want to)
```php
foreach ( $termchildren as $child_id ) {
if ( (int) $child_id === (int) $term_id ) {
continue;
}
$child = get_term( $child_id );
// ... your code.
}

If there is a `\` character in the text of the post, then it disappears. How to fix it?
Would that be correct?
```
...
if( $post_content != $post->post_content ) {
$post_content = wp_slash($post_content);
$query = "UPDATE " . $wpdb->prefix . "posts SET post_content = '" . $post_content . "' WHERE ID = " . $post->ID;

```
This variant not work.
```
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( $query ));

On a term archive page, e.g. at `example.com/category/foo/` (for the default `category` taxonomy),
1. You can use [`get_queried_object()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_queried_object/) to retrieve the term *object* for the term being queried (`foo` in the above sample URL).
```php
$term = get_queried_object();
$term_id = $term->term_id;
```
2. You can use [`get_queried_object_id()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_queried_object_id/) to retrieve just the term *ID* of the term being queried.
```php
$term_id = get_queried_object_id();
```
Now as for retrieving term's siblings, you can use [`get_terms()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_terms/) just like you did when retrieving the term's children. So for example, for the term being queried (or simply put, the current term),
```php
$taxonomy_name = 'products';
// Get the full term object/data.
$current_term = get_queried_object();
// Get the term's direct children.
// **Use 'child_of' instead of 'parent' to retrieve direct and non-direct children.
$children = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => $taxonomy_name,
'parent' => $current_term->term_id,
'hide_empty' => false,
) );
// Display the children.
if ( ! empty( $children ) ) {
echo "<h3>Children of $current_term->name</h3>";
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $children as $child ) {
echo "<li>$child->name</li>";
}
echo '</ul>';
}
// Get the term's direct siblings.
$siblings = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => $taxonomy_name,
'parent' => $current_term->parent,
'exclude' => array( $current_term->term_id ),
'hide_empty' => false,
) );
// Display the siblings.
if ( ! empty( $siblings ) ) {
echo "<h3>Siblings of $current_term->name</h3>";
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $siblings as $sibling ) {
echo "<li>$sibling->name</li>";
}
echo '</ul>';
}
```
And if you want to use [`get_term_children()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_term_children/), note that it retrieves all *direct and non-direct* children (just like `get_terms()` if `child_of` is used), and the function returns an *array of term **ID***s, hence in your `foreach`, you can use [`get_term()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_term/) to get the full term object/data.
```php
$term_id = get_queried_object_id(); // or just use a specific term ID, if you want to
$termchildren = get_term_children( $term_id, $taxonomy_name );
foreach ( $termchildren as $child_id ) {
$child = get_term( $child_id );
// ... your code.
}
```
>
> how i exclude existing category i am on from this list
>
>
>
* If you use `get_terms()`, you can use the `exclude` arg like you can see in my example above.
* If you use `get_term_children()`, then you can use `continue` like so: (but that's just an example; you can use `array_filter()` to filter the `$termchildren` array *before* looping through the items, if you want to)
```php
foreach ( $termchildren as $child_id ) {
if ( (int) $child_id === (int) $term_id ) {
continue;
}
$child = get_term( $child_id );
// ... your code.
}

They're actually being searched, but the operator used is `AND` instead of `OR` as in `WHERE ( <search query> AND <meta query> )`, hence if for example one searched for `foo`, then WordPress will search for posts which..
* Contain `foo` in the post title/content/excerpt *and*
* Contain `foo` in the meta `city` or `state_county`
So if you want the operator be changed to `OR`, i.e. search in the post title/content/excerpt **or** your custom fields, then you can try the following which simply repositions the default search query in the `WHERE` clause:
1. This snippet modifies the meta queries (to add your custom fields) and also sets a private arg used as a flag which if true, then we'll reposition the search query.
```php
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'query_custom_admin_search', 21 );
function query_custom_admin_search( $query ) {
// Check if the current user has the 'administrator' role.
if ( ! in_array( 'administrator', (array) wp_get_current_user()->roles ) ) {
return;
}
// Check if we're on the "Posts" page at wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=apartments
// and that a search keyword is set.
if ( ! is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() ||
'edit-apartments' !== get_current_screen()->id ||
! strlen( $query->get( 's' ) )
) {
return;
}
// Retrieve existing meta queries, if any.
$meta_query = (array) $query->get( 'meta_query' );
// Define your custom fields (meta keys).
$custom_fields = array( 'city', 'state_county' );
// This is for your custom fields above.
$meta_query2 = array( 'relation' => 'OR' );
$s = $query->get( 's' );
foreach ( $custom_fields as $meta_key ) {
$meta_query2[] = array(
'key' => $meta_key,
'value' => $s,
'compare' => 'LIKE',
);
}
// Add your meta query to the existing ones in $meta_query.
$meta_query[] = $meta_query2;
$query->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query );
// Set a custom flag for the posts_search and posts_where.
$query->set( '_search_OR', true );
}
```
2. This snippet uses the [`posts_search` hook](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/posts_search/) to "empty" the search query, after storing it in a private arg which we'll use in the [`posts_where` hook](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/posts_where/) where we reposition the search query.
```php
add_filter( 'posts_search', 'wpse_401476_admin_posts_search', 21, 2 );
function wpse_401476_admin_posts_search( $search, $query ) {
if ( $query->get( '_search_OR' ) ) {
$query->set( '_search_SQL', $search );
$search = '';
}
return $search;
}
```
3. Now this snippet is the one that repositions the search query. It uses [`WP_Meta_Query::get_sql()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_meta_query/get_sql/) to retrieve the meta query's (SQL) clauses (`join` and `where`) used in the current query.
```php
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'wpse_401476_admin_posts_where', 21, 2 );
function wpse_401476_admin_posts_where( $where, $query ) {
if ( $query->get( '_search_OR' ) &&
$search = $query->get( '_search_SQL' )
) {
global $wpdb;
$clauses = $query->meta_query->get_sql( 'post', $wpdb->posts, 'ID', $query );
if ( ! empty( $clauses['where'] ) ) {
$where2 = "( 1 $search ) OR ( 1 {$clauses['where']} )";
$where = str_replace( $clauses['where'], " AND ( $where2 )", $where );
$query->set( '_search_SQL', false );
$query->set( '_search_OR', false );
}
}
return $where;
}
```
So with the above, we'd get a condition that looks like `( ( 1 AND <search query> ) OR ( 1 AND <meta query> ) )` which is equivalent to the `( <search query> OR <meta query> )`.
Tried & tested working on WordPress v5.8.3.
Notes:
------
1. Use the above snippets instead of what you have in the question.
2. The operator would only be changed if the current user has the `administrator` *role* and that the current page is the admin page for managing posts in the `apartments` post type, and that the search keyword is set, and I also checked if the current query/`WP_Query` is the *main* query.
3. I used `21` as the priority, hence you might want to use a greater number (e.g. `100`) to make the filters apply properly (i.e. not overwritten by plugins or the active theme). |
401,525 | <p>Looking for the filter hook for the admin/comments/reply to process (where you use 'reply to' in the comments administration screen). This will be used in a custom plugin.</p>
<p>(The plugin adds a hidden field to a front-end entered comment to reduce bot-entered comments. The extra field is inserted properly on the front end, but not in the admin comment list page.)</p>
<p>I need to</p>
<ul>
<li>add a hidden field to the comment drop-down on the comments admin list (the comment field that shows when you click the 'reply' link for a comment).</li>
<li>add some pre-processing to the comment drop-down when it is submitted and before WP processes the comment.</li>
</ul>
<p>Not sure where to start on this, although I think it is in <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/files/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-comments-list-table.php/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/files/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-comments-list-table.php/</a> .</p>
<p>Am I on the right track? Is there a filter for the adding of fields to the comment box form that is on the admin/comments page?</p>
<p>(Note: had posted this question in StackExchange main area by mistake. And got a down-vote and close vote without explanation for my efforts. So duplicating the question here - where I meant to put it.)</p>
<p><strong>Added</strong></p>
<p>The hidden field is added to the comment form on the front end with the 'add_meta_boxes_comment' action hook, which uses the 'add_meta_box' function to specify the field and the callback function for that inserted/hidden field.</p>
<p>The hidden/added field is processed via the 'edit_comment' hook. If the hidden field is not there, then the comment is not saved.</p>
<p>This works fine in the front-end, but the hidden/added field is not added to the comment form in the back-end's "Reply" on the comment list page.</p>

] | Looking for the filter hook for the admin/comments/reply to process (where you use 'reply to' in the comments administration screen). This will be used in a custom plugin.
(The plugin adds a hidden field to a front-end entered comment to reduce bot-entered comments. The extra field is inserted properly on the front end, but not in the admin comment list page.)
I need to
* add a hidden field to the comment drop-down on the comments admin list (the comment field that shows when you click the 'reply' link for a comment).
* add some pre-processing to the comment drop-down when it is submitted and before WP processes the comment.
Not sure where to start on this, although I think it is in <https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/files/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-comments-list-table.php/> .
Am I on the right track? Is there a filter for the adding of fields to the comment box form that is on the admin/comments page?
(Note: had posted this question in StackExchange main area by mistake. And got a down-vote and close vote without explanation for my efforts. So duplicating the question here - where I meant to put it.)
**Added**
The hidden field is added to the comment form on the front end with the 'add\_meta\_boxes\_comment' action hook, which uses the 'add\_meta\_box' function to specify the field and the callback function for that inserted/hidden field.
The hidden/added field is processed via the 'edit\_comment' hook. If the hidden field is not there, then the comment is not saved.
This works fine in the front-end, but the hidden/added field is not added to the comment form in the back-end's "Reply" on the comment list page. | Although @SallyCJ's answer might work, and is probably good information, I went in a different direction that worked for my application.
My application needs a hidden field in the comment form. Although you can easily add the hidden field to the front-end comment form, the back-end doesn't use that process. But my application needs the POST of that hidden value for a verification process.
Since the hidden field isn't easily insertable in the back-end drop-down comment form (that you get when you hit the reply button), I reasoned that only an authorized admin can get to the admin/comment list, so my application doesn't need to check if it is a bot accessing the comment form. (My plugin senses bot comment submissions.) If you are logged in as an admin, then you are not a bot.
So, in the section that checks for the hidden field, I added this to add the GUID value to 'the\_hidden\_field' that is shown on the front-end comment form:
```
if (current_user_can( 'moderate_comments' ) ) {
// forces the guid on admin/comment replies without needing
// to add a hidden field to the dropdown form.
$_POST['the_hidden_field'] = wp_generate_uuid4();
return $commentdata;
}
```
The 'if' statement will be true for the admin/editor/author roles only, so the hidden field is sort of added to the comment POST.
Note that others have said that you can use is\_admin() to see if you are in an admin page, but that returns false in some instances - like if you are in the admin/list comments page, and you hit the 'reply' button for a comment. An is\_admin() check there returns false. So that didn't work.
Adding the code above resolved my issue. Might not work for all - you may need the code suggested by @SallyCJ . But it worked for me. |

The <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Plugin Handbook</a> will help you specifically with plugins. <a href=\"https://learn.wordpress.org/course/getting-started-with-wordpress-get-familiar/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Learn WordPress</a> is an excellent place to learn about the basics overall. Once you have a stronger foundation, <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.org/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Developer Resources</a> should help with additional information on WordPress functions, the Editor, themes, etc.</p>\n<p>As a quick overview, WordPress Core creates two main post types: the Post and the Page. Posts are frequently-changing or frequently-added content, like news articles. There are Categories built in so you can group related types of Posts, and Tags so you can make smaller groups of related content. Pages are more static resources - say your About Page. They don't natively include Categories but they are hierarchical, meaning one Page can be the parent of another Page, so your About Page could have a child Page of History and another child Page of Contact Us.</p>\n<p>Plugins will often add meta fields to these existing post types, or create new post types altogether - like Portfolio, or Jobs, or all sorts of other things. A plugin can also add functionality to the "back end" - the <code>/wp-admin/</code> area - for example, there are Google Analytics plugins that both add the tracking code to the front end and also add a dashboard widget that will display some of those statistics to logged-in users. But all this plugin data gets output somewhere native - i.e. in <code>wp-admin</code>, or within Posts. It doesn't output directly when you try to visit the plugin URL in your browser.</p>\n"

UDPATE: Requested details provided:
Here's the REST endpoint code from my main plugin file:
```
add_action('rest_api_init', function () {
register_rest_route('my-plugin/v1', '/my-page', array(
'methods' => 'GET',

The Avada form is POSTing to `wp-admin/admin-ajax.php` with the following key:values. Interestingly it gets a 200 from the POST but still returns the same values mentioned above.
```

``` | Generally you do not want to access your PHP files directly within WordPress because you lose a lot of "juice", meaning all WP functionality would have to be re-imported (and might break). WP is setup in a way that all requests to the CMS get routed to *index.php* and some mechanisms then decide what to do with the request.
From what you write, it sounds like a [custom REST endpoint](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/adding-custom-endpoints/) might serve you well.
Expanding your code to the following should already show some results:
```
add_action('rest_api_init', function () {
register_rest_route('my-plugin/v1', '/my-page', [
'methods' => [\Requests::POST],
'callback' => 'my_awesome_func',
]);
});
function my_awesome_func()
{
if (!isset($returnVal))
$returnVal = new stdClass();
$returnVal->status = "success";
$returnVal->info = "seems to work";
return $returnVal;
}
```
(using [short array syntax](https://befused.com/php/short-array/) and) changed
```
'methods' => 'GET',
```
to
```
'methods' => [\Requests::POST],
```
which references the [Requests' class const](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/requests/) (my preferred style - you can also use `'POST'` directly).
Most likely you want to do something with the form data, so change your `my_awesome_func()` to something like this
```
function my_awesome_func(\WP_REST_Request $request)
{
if ($request->get_param('main_license_number') !== 'something') {
return new WP_Error('Invalid license number!');
}
return [
'status' => 'success',
'info' => 'hello',
];
}
```
Now there is only one problem left: everybody can call this endpoint, they don't have to come through the form. Your request contains a `fusion-form-nonce-1808` and I assume this can be used to verify that it was indeed submitted from the form - but seems very Avada/FusionForm/some third party plugin specific - which I have no knowledge of and is out of scope for this site. But you should try contacting them and ask how to verify it, something along the lines of:
```
add_action('rest_api_init', function () {
register_rest_route('my-plugin/v1', '/my-page', [
'methods' => [\Requests::POST],
'callback' => 'my_awesome_func',
'permission_callback' => function () {
return magic_validate_my_nonce_please();
},
]);

<p>I have a local install (MAMP) and an online dev install (GoDaddy shared, for the client to view) of a site with pages of Custom Post Type posts. The CPT posts are real estate properties. The CPT posts have meta info added using Advanced Custom Fields. The ACF fields include the state each property is in and the type of property.</p>
<p>Here is a relevant page <a href="http://sar2021.devrsandk.com/wisconsin/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CPT page for Wisconsin posts</a></p>
<p>The CPT posts are divided into three pages by state. Within each state page, the properties are sorted by type of property. That is it - they are sorted into their states and then sorted by type of property.</p>
<p>I used a WP_query to do this for each page. Here is the query for the Wisconsin page:</p>
<pre class="lang-php prettyprint-override"><code><?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'properties',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
'state_clause' => array(
'key' => 'state',
'value' => 'WI'
),
'prop_type' => array(
'key' => 'property_type'
),
),
'orderby' => array(
'prop_type' => 'ASC'
)
);
$wiQuery = new WP_Query($args);
?>
<?php
if( $wiQuery->have_posts() ) {
while ($wiQuery->have_posts()) : $wiQuery->the_post();
</code></pre>
<p>The sort is working fine for the state pages. In other words, all the Wisconsin properties appear on the right page, and they are grouped property in order of the ACF meta field for Property Type.</p>
<p>However, within those groups the properties appear in a different order on the local MAMP site than they do on the dev install. For example, on the local install, 1501 Paramount Drive appears before 1209 Deming Way. Which seems really odd to me!</p>
<p>The dev site and the local site are both the same version of WordPress and the exact same custom theme I’m working on. They are using the same version of ACF. 95% of the posts were added to the local site before it was uploaded to the dev location.</p>
<p>Could it be differences with PHP versions (seems unlikely) or something about the mysql version?</p>
<p>The Properties custom post type itself has a weird origin. A developer set it up many years ago using the Easy Custom Post Type plugin, which no longer works. I deactivated that plugin and added the CPT to the functions file and I was able to use all the properties that were added with ECPT. I just had to redo all the meta data.</p>
<p>This is not an urgent issue, it’s just baffling. If anyone has any ideas of why the sort would be different on different servers I’d be grateful to hear them.</p>

] | TLDR: My custom post type items are sorting differently on a local environment and a live server. Can't figure out why!
I have a local install (MAMP) and an online dev install (GoDaddy shared, for the client to view) of a site with pages of Custom Post Type posts. The CPT posts are real estate properties. The CPT posts have meta info added using Advanced Custom Fields. The ACF fields include the state each property is in and the type of property.
Here is a relevant page [CPT page for Wisconsin posts](http://sar2021.devrsandk.com/wisconsin/)
The CPT posts are divided into three pages by state. Within each state page, the properties are sorted by type of property. That is it - they are sorted into their states and then sorted by type of property.
I used a WP\_query to do this for each page. Here is the query for the Wisconsin page:
```php
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'properties',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
'state_clause' => array(
'key' => 'state',
'value' => 'WI'
),
'prop_type' => array(
'key' => 'property_type'
),
),
'orderby' => array(
'prop_type' => 'ASC'
)
);
$wiQuery = new WP_Query($args);
?>
<?php
if( $wiQuery->have_posts() ) {
while ($wiQuery->have_posts()) : $wiQuery->the_post();
```
The sort is working fine for the state pages. In other words, all the Wisconsin properties appear on the right page, and they are grouped property in order of the ACF meta field for Property Type.
However, within those groups the properties appear in a different order on the local MAMP site than they do on the dev install. For example, on the local install, 1501 Paramount Drive appears before 1209 Deming Way. Which seems really odd to me!
The dev site and the local site are both the same version of WordPress and the exact same custom theme I’m working on. They are using the same version of ACF. 95% of the posts were added to the local site before it was uploaded to the dev location.
Could it be differences with PHP versions (seems unlikely) or something about the mysql version?
The Properties custom post type itself has a weird origin. A developer set it up many years ago using the Easy Custom Post Type plugin, which no longer works. I deactivated that plugin and added the CPT to the functions file and I was able to use all the properties that were added with ECPT. I just had to redo all the meta data.
This is not an urgent issue, it’s just baffling. If anyone has any ideas of why the sort would be different on different servers I’d be grateful to hear them. | A php issue retuning different results on 2 or more synced environments (if each env db data is the same and any passed data is the same)... that could be tricky.
The only other thing I noticed is your `meta_query` arg does not contain a child array containing `state_clause` and `prop_type`.
Your code is...
```php
'meta_query' => array(
'state_clause' => array(
'key' => 'state',
'value' => 'WI'
),
'prop_type' => array(
'key' => 'property_type'
)
),
```
You might need to wrap both inner `meta_query` args arrays into another array, see example below...
*...and possibly you may need to include a `relation` argument/key... see the end of the [orderby WP\_Query](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#order-orderby-parameters) docs*
```php
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'state_clause' => array(
'key' => 'state',
'value' => 'WI'
),
'prop_type' => array(
'key' => 'property_type'
)
)
),

401,781 | <p>I've created a custom shortcode to add pop-up definitions to selected vocabulary terms. The shortcode looks like this:</p>
<pre><code>[glossary term="data breach"]data breaches[/glossary]
</code></pre>
<p>The function searches posts in a custom post type called 'glossary-term' for the term's definition, prints it in a div, and turns the enclosed text into a link to that div:</p>
<pre><code>function glossary_shortcode( $atts = array(), $shortcode_content = null ) {
// parameters
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'term' => null
), $atts));
$glossary_term_object = get_page_by_title($term, 'OBJECT', 'glossary-term');
// print definition in popup div
echo '<div id="glossary-popup-' . $glossary_term_object->post_name . '" class="glossary_popup"><h4>' . $glossary_term_object->post_title . '</h4>' . wpautop( $glossary_term_object->post_content ) . '<div class="ctas"><a href="">Visit Glossary</a><a href="#">Close</a></div></div>';
// return link to definition popup
return '<a href="#glossary-popup-' . $glossary_term_object->post_name . '">' . $shortcode_content . '</a>';
}
add_shortcode('glossary', 'glossary_shortcode');
</code></pre>
<p>Rather than echo the definition pop-up, I'd like to have all the definitions created by this shortcode (which may be used several times on a page) collected into their own div at the end of the main page content.</p>
<p>Any ideas how to accomplish this?</p>

So if you're using a [Page (post of the `page` type)](https://wordpress.org/support/article/pages-screen/) with a custom/specific [Page Template](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/), then you should [create a *secondary query and loop*](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/the-loop/#creating-secondary-queries-and-loops) for retrieving and displaying your recipes/posts.
But even with a default archive template such as the `archive.php` file, you should ***not*** use `query_posts()` in the template!
And here's why: (bold and italic formatting was added by me)

— See <https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/query_posts/> for the caveats mentioned above and other details.
And here's how can you convert your `query_posts()` code to using a secondary query/`WP_Query` and loop instead:
1. Replace the `<?php query_posts('post_type=post&post_status=publish&posts_per_page=24&paged='. get_query_var('paged')); ?>` with this:
```php
<?php
// you could also do $query = new WP_Query( 'your args here' ), but I thought
// using array is better or more readable :)
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 24,
'paged' => get_query_var( 'paged' ),
) );
?>
```
2. Replace the `have_posts()` with `$query->have_posts()`, **and** the `the_post()` with `$query->the_post()`. I.e. Use the `$query` variable created above.
3. And finally, replace the `wp_reset_query()` with `wp_reset_postdata()`.
**Now, as for displaying only a few posts on the first page, i.e. different than your `posts_per_page` value..**
The proper solution would be to **use an `offset`**, like so:
1. Replace the snippet in step 1 above with this, or use this instead of that snippet:
```php
<?php
// Define the number of posts per page.
$per_page = 12; // for the 1st page
$per_page2 = 24; // for page 2, 3, etc.
// Get the current page number.
$paged = max( 1, get_query_var( 'paged' ) );
// This is used as the posts_per_page value.
$per_page3 = ( $paged > 1 ) ? $per_page2 : $per_page;
// Calculate the offset.
$offset = ( $paged - 1 ) * $per_page2;
$diff = $per_page2 - $per_page;
$minus = ( $paged > 1 ) ? $diff : 0;
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => $per_page3,
'offset' => $offset - $minus,
) );
// Recalculate the total number of pages.
$query->max_num_pages = ceil(
( $query->found_posts + $diff ) /
max( $per_page, $per_page2 )
);
?>
```
2. Replace the `<?php numeric_posts_nav(); ?>` with `<?php numeric_posts_nav( $query ); ?>`.
3. Edit your *pagination function* — replace this part (which is lines 775 - 787 [here](https://pastebin.com/jQA3cgCx)):
```php
function numeric_posts_nav() {
if( is_singular() )
return;
global $wp_query;
/** Stop execution if there's only 1 page */
if( $wp_query->max_num_pages <= 1 )
return;
$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) : 1;
$max = intval( $wp_query->max_num_pages );
```
with this:
```php
function numeric_posts_nav( WP_Query $query = null ) {
global $wp_query;
if ( ! $query ) {
$query =& $wp_query;
}
if( $query->is_singular() || $query->max_num_pages <= 1 ) {
return;
}
$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) : 1;
$max = intval( $query->max_num_pages );
```
That's all and now check if it works for you! :) |

— See <https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/query_posts/> for the caveats mentioned above and other details.
And here's how can you convert your `query_posts()` code to using a secondary query/`WP_Query` and loop instead:
1. Replace the `<?php query_posts('post_type=post&post_status=publish&posts_per_page=24&paged='. get_query_var('paged')); ?>` with this:
```php
<?php
// you could also do $query = new WP_Query( 'your args here' ), but I thought
// using array is better or more readable :)
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 24,
'paged' => get_query_var( 'paged' ),
) );
?>
```
2. Replace the `have_posts()` with `$query->have_posts()`, **and** the `the_post()` with `$query->the_post()`. I.e. Use the `$query` variable created above.
3. And finally, replace the `wp_reset_query()` with `wp_reset_postdata()`.
**Now, as for displaying only a few posts on the first page, i.e. different than your `posts_per_page` value..**
The proper solution would be to **use an `offset`**, like so:
1. Replace the snippet in step 1 above with this, or use this instead of that snippet:
```php
<?php
// Define the number of posts per page.
$per_page = 12; // for the 1st page
$per_page2 = 24; // for page 2, 3, etc.
// Get the current page number.
$paged = max( 1, get_query_var( 'paged' ) );
// This is used as the posts_per_page value.
$per_page3 = ( $paged > 1 ) ? $per_page2 : $per_page;
// Calculate the offset.
$offset = ( $paged - 1 ) * $per_page2;
$diff = $per_page2 - $per_page;
$minus = ( $paged > 1 ) ? $diff : 0;
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => $per_page3,
'offset' => $offset - $minus,
) );
// Recalculate the total number of pages.
$query->max_num_pages = ceil(
( $query->found_posts + $diff ) /
max( $per_page, $per_page2 )
);
?>
```
2. Replace the `<?php numeric_posts_nav(); ?>` with `<?php numeric_posts_nav( $query ); ?>`.
3. Edit your *pagination function* — replace this part (which is lines 775 - 787 [here](https://pastebin.com/jQA3cgCx)):
```php
function numeric_posts_nav() {
if( is_singular() )
return;
global $wp_query;
/** Stop execution if there's only 1 page */
if( $wp_query->max_num_pages <= 1 )
return;
$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) : 1;
$max = intval( $wp_query->max_num_pages );
```
with this:
```php
function numeric_posts_nav( WP_Query $query = null ) {
global $wp_query;
if ( ! $query ) {
$query =& $wp_query;
}
if( $query->is_singular() || $query->max_num_pages <= 1 ) {
return;
}
$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) : 1;
$max = intval( $query->max_num_pages );
```
That's all and now check if it works for you! :) |

So if you're using a [Page (post of the `page` type)](https://wordpress.org/support/article/pages-screen/) with a custom/specific [Page Template](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/), then you should [create a *secondary query and loop*](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/the-loop/#creating-secondary-queries-and-loops) for retrieving and displaying your recipes/posts.
But even with a default archive template such as the `archive.php` file, you should ***not*** use `query_posts()` in the template!
And here's why: (bold and italic formatting was added by me)

— See <https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/query_posts/> for the caveats mentioned above and other details.
And here's how can you convert your `query_posts()` code to using a secondary query/`WP_Query` and loop instead:
1. Replace the `<?php query_posts('post_type=post&post_status=publish&posts_per_page=24&paged='. get_query_var('paged')); ?>` with this:
```php
<?php
// you could also do $query = new WP_Query( 'your args here' ), but I thought
// using array is better or more readable :)
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 24,
'paged' => get_query_var( 'paged' ),
) );
?>
```
2. Replace the `have_posts()` with `$query->have_posts()`, **and** the `the_post()` with `$query->the_post()`. I.e. Use the `$query` variable created above.
3. And finally, replace the `wp_reset_query()` with `wp_reset_postdata()`.
**Now, as for displaying only a few posts on the first page, i.e. different than your `posts_per_page` value..**
The proper solution would be to **use an `offset`**, like so:
1. Replace the snippet in step 1 above with this, or use this instead of that snippet:
```php
<?php
// Define the number of posts per page.
$per_page = 12; // for the 1st page
$per_page2 = 24; // for page 2, 3, etc.
// Get the current page number.
$paged = max( 1, get_query_var( 'paged' ) );
// This is used as the posts_per_page value.
$per_page3 = ( $paged > 1 ) ? $per_page2 : $per_page;
// Calculate the offset.
$offset = ( $paged - 1 ) * $per_page2;
$diff = $per_page2 - $per_page;
$minus = ( $paged > 1 ) ? $diff : 0;
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => $per_page3,
'offset' => $offset - $minus,
) );
// Recalculate the total number of pages.
$query->max_num_pages = ceil(
( $query->found_posts + $diff ) /
max( $per_page, $per_page2 )
);
?>
```
2. Replace the `<?php numeric_posts_nav(); ?>` with `<?php numeric_posts_nav( $query ); ?>`.
3. Edit your *pagination function* — replace this part (which is lines 775 - 787 [here](https://pastebin.com/jQA3cgCx)):
```php
function numeric_posts_nav() {
if( is_singular() )
return;
global $wp_query;
/** Stop execution if there's only 1 page */
if( $wp_query->max_num_pages <= 1 )
return;
$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) : 1;
$max = intval( $wp_query->max_num_pages );
```
with this:
```php
function numeric_posts_nav( WP_Query $query = null ) {
global $wp_query;
if ( ! $query ) {
$query =& $wp_query;
}
if( $query->is_singular() || $query->max_num_pages <= 1 ) {
return;
}
$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) : 1;
$max = intval( $query->max_num_pages );
```

<h4>Arguments inside functions</h4>
<p>This is the way that I've been using for custom posts and such, and also the method WordPress uses for defining defaults for functions that take arguments, like <code>wp_login_form()</code> or <code>wp_nav_menu()</code>.

<pre class="lang-php prettyprint-override"><code>add_action( 'init', 'register_my_post_type' );
function register_my_post_type() {
$labels = array(
'name' => __( 'my_post_type' ),

);
$args = array(

<h4>Globals</h4>
<p>The <code>register_{anything}</code> works by adding an instance to the global scope. For instance</p>
<pre class="lang-php prettyprint-override"><code>function register_post_type( $post_type, $args = array() ) {
global $wp_post_types;
...
// validation
$post_type_object = new WP_Post_Type( $post_type, $args );
...
$wp_post_types[ $post_type ] = $post_type_object;
</code></pre>
<h4>Constants</h4>
<p>The most obvious example of this is the settings in <code>wp-config.php</code>. WordPress uses these for mostly small and really basic definitions, such as the database configuration credentials and things like<br />
<code>define( 'ABSPATH', __DIR__ . '/' );</code> or <code>define( 'WPINC', 'wp-includes' );</code>.</p>
<p>PHP supports defining arrays as constants since 5.6, so it could be possible to define these arguments. I think it would be nice if many of these options could be set in a separate file for simplicity.</p>
<p>Other methods, such as static variables or singleton classes seem inefficient, so they're off the table, but I'm not sure about constants.</p>
<p>So, would using constants like</p>
<pre class="lang-php prettyprint-override"><code>define( 'MY_OPTION1', array(
'key' => 'value'
...
));
</code></pre>
<p>then using them like</p>
<pre class="lang-php prettyprint-override"><code>add_action('init', 'my_function');
function my_function() {
some_function_that_takes_args( MY_OPTION1 );
...
}
</code></pre>
<p>be a bad idea? If yes, what is the correct/better way?</p>
<p>I have an impression that using constants might be a bad idea, though I'm not sure why or how bad. So what are some considerations in performance, usability, anomalies or other coding principles to consider?</p>

The third (constant) option might be a good idea if you don't have too many options, but it can get messy with time as you add more and more options.</p>\n<p>What I usually do, is scope the constant to the corresponding classes as <code>const</code> or methods returning the settings values. For example, if I have a custom post type called Book, I would create a class that takes care of all the related functionality, such as registering the post type. Additionally all theme classes can be namespaced to avoid class name collisions, but I'll show the example without namespacing for simplicity:</p>\n<pre class=\"lang-php prettyprint-override\"><code>class BookPost{\n const POST_TYPE = 'book';\n \n public static function register(){\n register_post_type(self::POST_TYPE, array('labels' => self::get_labels()));\n }\n\n public static function get_labels(){\n return array(\n 'name' => __('Book', 'MyTheme'),\n //...\n );\n }\n}\n</code></pre>\n<p>Then you can call register from outside or inside of the class without worrying about the parameters, for example:</p>\n<pre class=\"lang-php prettyprint-override\"><code>add_action( 'init', 'BookPost::register' );\n</code></pre>\n<p>and if you need to access the post type (or other args) from anywhere else in the code, you can just use:</p>\n<pre class=\"lang-php prettyprint-override\"><code>BookPost::POST_TYPE;\nBookPost::get_labels();\n</code></pre>\n<p>There are a couple of things to mention here:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Since you can't use expressions (such as calling the <code>__()</code> method) in constants, you will have to use methods for retrieving the more dynamic values like label.</li>\n<li>Here I'm using static methods because this particular example doesn't require storing state, and also it's easier to call the methods statically. But of course, based on your requirements you might prefer instantiating an object and using standard non-static methods.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>I'm not saying that this is the best approach, but this is what I usually do and it's been working well for me. The additional advantage is that you can add more helper methods to this class as your code grows and you won't need to worry about passing the post type, etc. For example, you can have something like:</p>\n<pre class=\"lang-php prettyprint-override\"><code>BookPost::get_latest();\nBookPost::get_all();\nBookPost::get_by_genre();\n</code></pre>\n<p>Also in terms of performance, registering a constant in a class vs using an array constant with options shouldn't make any meaningful difference in scenarios like this one.</p>\n"

There's really two ways that I see as viable and both of them are used in WordPress core and base themes.
Edit: added a third way
#### Arguments inside functions
This is the way that I've been using for custom posts and such, and also the method WordPress uses for defining defaults for functions that take arguments, like `wp_login_form()` or `wp_nav_menu()`. It's either a variable defined inside the function being hooked or the values defined right inside the function call.
```php
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_post_type' );
function register_my_post_type() {
$labels = array(
'name' => __( 'my_post_type' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'My Post Type' ),
...
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
...
);
register_post_type( 'my_post_type', $args );
}
```
#### Globals
The `register_{anything}` works by adding an instance to the global scope. For instance
```php
function register_post_type( $post_type, $args = array() ) {
global $wp_post_types;
...
// validation
$post_type_object = new WP_Post_Type( $post_type, $args );
...
$wp_post_types[ $post_type ] = $post_type_object;
```

The most obvious example of this is the settings in `wp-config.php`. WordPress uses these for mostly small and really basic definitions, such as the database configuration credentials and things like
`define( 'ABSPATH', __DIR__ . '/' );` or `define( 'WPINC', 'wp-includes' );`.
PHP supports defining arrays as constants since 5.6, so it could be possible to define these arguments. I think it would be nice if many of these options could be set in a separate file for simplicity.
Other methods, such as static variables or singleton classes seem inefficient, so they're off the table, but I'm not sure about constants.
So, would using constants like
```php
define( 'MY_OPTION1', array(
'key' => 'value'
...
));
```
then using them like
```php
add_action('init', 'my_function');
function my_function() {
some_function_that_takes_args( MY_OPTION1 );
...
}
```
be a bad idea? If yes, what is the correct/better way?
I have an impression that using constants might be a bad idea, though I'm not sure why or how bad. So what are some considerations in performance, usability, anomalies or other coding principles to consider? | Generally you should try to keep the amount of global variables/constants to a minimum. The third (constant) option might be a good idea if you don't have too many options, but it can get messy with time as you add more and more options.
What I usually do, is scope the constant to the corresponding classes as `const` or methods returning the settings values. For example, if I have a custom post type called Book, I would create a class that takes care of all the related functionality, such as registering the post type. Additionally all theme classes can be namespaced to avoid class name collisions, but I'll show the example without namespacing for simplicity:
```php
class BookPost{
const POST_TYPE = 'book';
public static function register(){
register_post_type(self::POST_TYPE, array('labels' => self::get_labels()));
}
public static function get_labels(){
return array(
'name' => __('Book', 'MyTheme'),
//...
);
}
}
```
Then you can call register from outside or inside of the class without worrying about the parameters, for example:
```php
add_action( 'init', 'BookPost::register' );
```
and if you need to access the post type (or other args) from anywhere else in the code, you can just use:
```php
BookPost::POST_TYPE;
BookPost::get_labels();
```
There are a couple of things to mention here:
1. Since you can't use expressions (such as calling the `__()` method) in constants, you will have to use methods for retrieving the more dynamic values like label.
2. Here I'm using static methods because this particular example doesn't require storing state, and also it's easier to call the methods statically. But of course, based on your requirements you might prefer instantiating an object and using standard non-static methods.
I'm not saying that this is the best approach, but this is what I usually do and it's been working well for me. The additional advantage is that you can add more helper methods to this class as your code grows and you won't need to worry about passing the post type, etc. For example, you can have something like:
```php
BookPost::get_latest();
BookPost::get_all();
BookPost::get_by_genre();
```
Also in terms of performance, registering a constant in a class vs using an array constant with options shouldn't make any meaningful difference in scenarios like this one. |

] | Is there any **plugin or alternative method** to hide featured images of all the posts falling under the same category? Please guide.
For example:
There's a website category:
abc.net/category/fruits
Under this category the following posts are published
Apple, Mango, Cherry, Orange
All the posts under fruits category have featured images, **I want featured images of posts not to appear when someone visits this "category link".** Please note that on my homepage I want the images to appear but not in category link. | WordPress stores the domain of the installation in several places of the database. So you have to change them in numerous tables. In the case of working, look at the `options` table, entries `siteurl` and `homeurl`.
It is also possible to set this via `wp-config.php`:
```
// Home URL of your WordPress.
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https:/example.com' );
// URL to the WordPress root dir.
define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://example.com' );
```
Look also inside the `wp-config.php` for the domain, because it is possible to set this via constant. The `.htaccess`, if it is an Apache server, should also validate, because the Permalink rules need the domain, especially in the 'Multisite' mode.
You should also active the [debug mode](https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG), constant `WP_DEBUG` set to true in your `wp-config.php` to get more information about your installation, your problem. It should also help to find the issue with the REST API after domain change.
If it works fine, check also the whole database for the old domain. Because WordPress stores in various tables. A change for them is possible via SQL statement or a plugin, like 'Serach Replace'.

402,327 | <p>This is my first time posting a question here.
I have this problem that I feel that I am soooo close to solve, but can't manage to do it.</p>
<p>I have a custom taxonomy called "aplication" and another called "segment". Each "aplication" term has an "segment" term associated with it trought a custom field (ACF).</p>
<p>What I'm trying to do is to sort the "aplication" terms alphabetically by their associated "segment" term in the edit-tag?taxonomy=aplication page.</p>
<p>I managed to add the sortable "segment" column into the page through the code below:</p>
<pre class="lang-php prettyprint-override"><code>// Add the "segment" column to the list of "aplication" terms
add_filter('manage_edit-aplication_columns', function( $columns ) {
$columns['aplication_segment'] = __( 'Segment', 'textdomain' );
return $columns;
});
// Add data to the "segment" column created above
add_action( 'manage_aplication_custom_column', function( $value, $column, $aplication_id ) {
if ( $column == 'aplication_segment') {
$segment_ID = get_field( 'aplication_segment', get_term($aplication_id, 'aplication') ); // The custom field for the aplications returns the segment ID
$segment = get_term( $segment_ID, 'segment' );
$value = $segment -> name;
echo $segment->name;
}
}, 10, 3);
// Make the "segment" column sortable
add_filter('manage_edit-aplication_sortable_columns', function( $columns ) {
$columns['aplication_segment'] = 'aplication_segment';
return $columns;
});
</code></pre>
<p>Now, to sort the "aplication" terms I did this:</p>
<pre class="lang-php prettyprint-override"><code>add_action('pre_get_terms', function( $term_query ) {
global $current_screen;
global $wpdb;
if ( ($current_screen) && $current_screen->id === 'edit-aplication' ) {

$sql =
"SELECT ttm.term_id, ttm.name, ttm.slug, ttm.term_group, ttm.term_order

] | This is my first time posting a question here.
I have this problem that I feel that I am soooo close to solve, but can't manage to do it.
I have a custom taxonomy called "aplication" and another called "segment". Each "aplication" term has an "segment" term associated with it trought a custom field (ACF).
What I'm trying to do is to sort the "aplication" terms alphabetically by their associated "segment" term in the edit-tag?taxonomy=aplication page.
I managed to add the sortable "segment" column into the page through the code below:
```php
// Add the "segment" column to the list of "aplication" terms
add_filter('manage_edit-aplication_columns', function( $columns ) {
$columns['aplication_segment'] = __( 'Segment', 'textdomain' );
return $columns;
});
// Add data to the "segment" column created above
add_action( 'manage_aplication_custom_column', function( $value, $column, $aplication_id ) {
if ( $column == 'aplication_segment') {
$segment_ID = get_field( 'aplication_segment', get_term($aplication_id, 'aplication') ); // The custom field for the aplications returns the segment ID
$segment = get_term( $segment_ID, 'segment' );
$value = $segment -> name;
echo $segment->name;
}
}, 10, 3);
// Make the "segment" column sortable
add_filter('manage_edit-aplication_sortable_columns', function( $columns ) {
$columns['aplication_segment'] = 'aplication_segment';
return $columns;
});
```
Now, to sort the "aplication" terms I did this:
```php
add_action('pre_get_terms', function( $term_query ) {
global $current_screen;
global $wpdb;
if ( ($current_screen) && $current_screen->id === 'edit-aplication' ) {
if ( $term_query -> query_vars['orderby'] === 'aplication_segment' ) {
$sql =
"SELECT ttm.term_id, ttm.name, ttm.slug, ttm.term_group, ttm.term_order
FROM
(SELECT wp_terms.term_id, wp_terms.name, wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy
FROM wp_terms
INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy
ON wp_terms.term_id = wp_term_taxonomy.term_id
AND wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'segment'
ORDER BY wp_terms.name) as ttt
INNER JOIN
(SELECT wp_terms.*, wp_termmeta.meta_value
FROM wp_terms
INNER JOIN wp_termmeta
ON wp_terms.term_id = wp_termmeta.term_id
AND wp_termmeta.meta_key = 'aplication_segment'
ORDER BY wp_terms.name) as ttm
ON ttt.term_id = ttm.meta_value
ORDER BY ttt.name {$term_query->query_vars['order']}";
return $wpdb -> get_results( $sql );
};
}
}, 10, 1);
```
This query works, it gives me the result that I need (I didn't translated those to english):
```php

The only problem is that I can't manage to show the result in the "aplication" terms table. It keeps sorting by the "aplication" term name.
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/VPlBF.png)
I appreciate anyone who can try and help me with this. | Following @TomJNowell advices I descarted the usage of SQL query and aimed at the meta\_value sorting. I'll describe the scenario from the beggining with the solution.
I have a custom taxonomy called "aplication" and another called "segment", and every application term has a custom field (ACF) for a segment term.
What I needed was to sort the aplication terms by their associated segment term's name at the edit-tags.php?taxonomy page, but the problem was that the custom field value withhold the ID of the segment term and not it's name.
So, to workaround this problem, I added another custom field to the aplications, a text field that receives the slug of the segment. This field is automatically updated with the segment's slug every time that the aplication term is saved.
```
add_action( 'saved_aplication', 'update_aplication_segment_name', 10, 3);
function update_aplication_segment_name( $term_id, $tt_id, $update ) {
$aplication = get_term( $term_id, 'aplication' ); //Gets the object of the current aplication
$segment_ID = get_field( 'aplication_segment', $aplication ); //The segment is associated to the aplication through a custom field that returns the segment term's ID
$segment = get_term( $segment_ID, 'segment' ); //Gets the segment associated with the current aplication
//Remove the hook to avoid loop
remove_action( 'saved_aplication', 'update_aplication_segment_name', 10, 3);
//Updates the value of the 'aplication_segment_name' field of the current aplication
update_term_meta( $term_id, 'aplication_segment_name', $segment->slug);
//Add the hook back
add_action( 'saved_aplication', 'update_aplication_segment_name', 10, 3);
}
```
With the code above, every time that the red field changes, the value of the blue field will change too (the blue field will be hidden from the final user).
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/bua2D.png)
Now, to sort the application terms by their segment's name I adapted the code from this answer: <https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/277755/218755>
```
add_filter('pre_get_terms', function( $term_query ) {
global $current_screen;
if ( is_admin() && $current_screen->id == 'edit-aplication'
&& ( !isset($_GET['orderby']) || $_GET['orderby'] == 'aplication_segment')) {
// set orderby to the named clause in the meta_query
$term_query -> query_vars['orderby'] = 'order_clause';
$term_query -> query_vars['order'] = isset($_GET['order']) ? $_GET['order'] : "DESC";
// the OR relation and the NOT EXISTS clause allow for terms without a meta_value at all
$args = array('relation' => 'OR',
'order_clause' => array('key' => 'aplication_segment_name',
'type' => 'STRING'
),
array('key' => 'aplication_segment_name',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
)
);
$term_query -> meta_query = new WP_Meta_Query( $args );
}
return $term_query;
});
```
Now the aplication terms can be sorted by their associated segment term's name!

Is there any workaround to implement this, instead of profile all the other links(friends, groups, notifications etc.) are working when setting in **BP\_DEFAULT\_COMPONENT**. | Following @TomJNowell advices I descarted the usage of SQL query and aimed at the meta\_value sorting. I'll describe the scenario from the beggining with the solution.

So, to workaround this problem, I added another custom field to the aplications, a text field that receives the slug of the segment. This field is automatically updated with the segment's slug every time that the aplication term is saved.
```
add_action( 'saved_aplication', 'update_aplication_segment_name', 10, 3);
function update_aplication_segment_name( $term_id, $tt_id, $update ) {
$aplication = get_term( $term_id, 'aplication' ); //Gets the object of the current aplication
$segment_ID = get_field( 'aplication_segment', $aplication ); //The segment is associated to the aplication through a custom field that returns the segment term's ID
$segment = get_term( $segment_ID, 'segment' ); //Gets the segment associated with the current aplication
//Remove the hook to avoid loop
remove_action( 'saved_aplication', 'update_aplication_segment_name', 10, 3);
//Updates the value of the 'aplication_segment_name' field of the current aplication
update_term_meta( $term_id, 'aplication_segment_name', $segment->slug);
//Add the hook back
add_action( 'saved_aplication', 'update_aplication_segment_name', 10, 3);
}
```

add_filter('pre_get_terms', function( $term_query ) {
global $current_screen;
if ( is_admin() && $current_screen->id == 'edit-aplication'
&& ( !isset($_GET['orderby']) || $_GET['orderby'] == 'aplication_segment')) {
// set orderby to the named clause in the meta_query
$term_query -> query_vars['orderby'] = 'order_clause';
$term_query -> query_vars['order'] = isset($_GET['order']) ? $_GET['order'] : "DESC";
// the OR relation and the NOT EXISTS clause allow for terms without a meta_value at all
$args = array('relation' => 'OR',
'order_clause' => array('key' => 'aplication_segment_name',

$term_query -> meta_query = new WP_Meta_Query( $args );
}
return $term_query;

```
Now the aplication terms can be sorted by their associated segment term's name!

Is there a more efficient way to write this to manage the code a little better? Sorry for the noob question. | You could move the query configs into one config array and loop that for querying the posts and rendering the content sections. Inside the content section partial you'd have another loop for the posts.
The magic ingredient here is the third `$args` parameter you can use with `get_template_part()`. Use it to pass data to the partial file.
```
$configs = array(
array(
'query' => array(
'post_type' => 'diagram',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'diagram-category',
'terms' => 'stratocaster-wiring-diagrams',
'field' => 'slug',
)
)
),
'template_name' => 'wiring-diagram',
'heading' => 'Some heading text',
),
// more configs...
);
foreach ( $configs as $config ) {
$config['query'] = new WP_Query( $config['query'] );
if ( ! $config['query']->posts ) {
continue;
}
get_template_part( 'template-parts/content-section', null, $config );
}
```
Section partial,
```
<h2 class="main-heading gold-line"><?php echo esc_html( $args['heading'] ); ?></h2>
<div class="wiring-diagram-results grid-4">
<?php
while( $args['query']->have_posts() ) {
$args['query']->the_post();
get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', $args['template_name'] );
}
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
</div>
```
The config array could also be placed into a separate file or function and not to have it hard-coded on the template file. |

```
Frontend Enqueueing #Frontend Enqueueing
Starting in the WordPress 5.8 release, it is possible to instruct WordPress to enqueue scripts and styles for a block type only when rendered on the frontend. It applies to the following asset fields in the block.json file:
- script
- viewScript (when the block defines render_callback during registration in PHP, then the block author is responsible for enqueuing the script)
- style
```
As it turns out I have defined a `render_callback` so I do need to manually enqueue my `view.js` script.

402,999 | <p>I'm trying to move my wordpress site in to different server and url.
How ever i seem to have a persistent redirect loop problem. I think this is not a cache, cookie or plugin problem and I am suspecting incorrect/missing settings in .htaccess file might be the culprit.
The server where i am doing the moving from, uses nginx web server and does not have .htaccess file.
The hosting provider that i am trying to move into uses apache2 and does have following .htaccess file in html folder:</p>

If you can't change where jQuery is defined, as you say in your comment to [Pat J's answer](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/403117/208483), then insert your script in the `<footer>`. |

I just realized you're doing this on the PHP side. There is a class called `WP_Block_Type_Registry` that you can use to see what is already registered:
```
$registry = WP_Block_Type_Registry::get_instance();
if ( ! $registry->get_registered( 'foo/column' ) ) {

<p>I have a query that returns 2 types (Post and Event). As expected by default it orders both, together, by publish date.</p>
<p>What I want is, posts to be ordered by publish date, events by <code>event->start_date</code></p>
<p>I could just get them, loop over them and manually sort myself, but that seems counter intuitive.</p>

] | I am trying to workout the best way to do a slightly abnormal orderby.
I have a query that returns 2 types (Post and Event). As expected by default it orders both, together, by publish date.
What I want is, posts to be ordered by publish date, events by `event->start_date`
I could just get them, loop over them and manually sort myself, but that seems counter intuitive.
Any help much appreceiated.
Cheers
Drogo | not tested but maybe you could simply use sleep using wpcf7\_before\_send\_email
something like this:
```
add_action("wpcf7_before_send_mail", "wpcf7_pause_send");
function wpcf7_pause_send($cf7) {
sleep(3600);
}

``` | `json_encode` takes an array/object and turns it into a JSON string.
`json_decode` takes a JSON string and turns it into a PHP array/object/etc
With this in mind, we can see some critical mistakes are made in the code, caused by muddling up the two.
1. You're taking a string of JSON and JSON encoding it, aka double JSON encoding it, which doesn't make sense. Think of it like doing this: `json_encode( json_encode( ['ID' => 2] ) )`
2. You're then immediatley decoding it, so `$post_decode` and `$post->title` are the same, it's like turning on the light switch then turning it off everytime you go past, it's a non-operation, nothing is achieved
3. Then, for some reason `json_encode` is called, but it's called on a nonexistant value. Remember, `$post_decode` is not an array/object, it's a JSON string that hasn't been decoded, what you're doing is the same as `$foo = 'bar'; echo $foo->ID;`. Expect this to generate huge amounts of PHP notices and warnings in your PHP error log.
This is all very confusing and unnecessary.
Instead take your post title and decode it from JSON into an object:
```php
$data = json_decode( $post->post_title );
```
Then use it:
```php
$ID = $data->id;

403,740 | <p>I wrote a little custom shortcode and when I try to use it in a custom post it won't take into account the parameter I set up.</p>
<p><strong>What it's supposed to do</strong></p>
<p>The shortcode is supposed to take a custom post ID into parameter and display a div that use the thumbnail of this post as a background if there's one, and then display the title of the post inside that DIV. Pretty simple stuff.</p>

] | I wrote a little custom shortcode and when I try to use it in a custom post it won't take into account the parameter I set up.
**What it's supposed to do**
The shortcode is supposed to take a custom post ID into parameter and display a div that use the thumbnail of this post as a background if there's one, and then display the title of the post inside that DIV. Pretty simple stuff.
**What it does**
In front the shortcode appears to work as intended but don't take ID parameter into account and use current post ID to execute the function instead. The weird thing is that when I put a default value "4075" for $ID in the array it works fine. It just won't take the parameter into account when I set it with `[lire-aussi ID="4075"]`
**The code**
```php
function shortcode_lire_aussi( $atts ){
extract(
shortcode_atts( array(
'ID' => '',
), $atts));
$title= get_the_title($ID);
$linkURL= get_permalink($ID);
if(has_post_thumbnail($ID)){
$background = get_the_post_thumbnail_url( $ID );
$output= '
<div style = "background-image : url('.$background.');">
<p>
<a href="'.$linkURL.'">'.$title.'</a>
</p>
</div>';
}
else{
$output= '
<div style = "background-color : black;">

I'm not really familiar with PHP and my knowledge of that language is very limited, I'm clearly missing something but can't figure what. | `json_encode` takes an array/object and turns it into a JSON string.
`json_decode` takes a JSON string and turns it into a PHP array/object/etc
With this in mind, we can see some critical mistakes are made in the code, caused by muddling up the two.
1. You're taking a string of JSON and JSON encoding it, aka double JSON encoding it, which doesn't make sense. Think of it like doing this: `json_encode( json_encode( ['ID' => 2] ) )`
2. You're then immediatley decoding it, so `$post_decode` and `$post->title` are the same, it's like turning on the light switch then turning it off everytime you go past, it's a non-operation, nothing is achieved
3. Then, for some reason `json_encode` is called, but it's called on a nonexistant value. Remember, `$post_decode` is not an array/object, it's a JSON string that hasn't been decoded, what you're doing is the same as `$foo = 'bar'; echo $foo->ID;`. Expect this to generate huge amounts of PHP notices and warnings in your PHP error log.
This is all very confusing and unnecessary.
Instead take your post title and decode it from JSON into an object:
```php
$data = json_decode( $post->post_title );
```
Then use it:
```php
$ID = $data->id;

] | In WordPress I make SQL-requests to the database but LIKE request doesn't work correctly.
Actial value of `meta_value` field in the database is such string:
```
a:1:{i:0;s:9:"full-time";}
```
if I make this request all works fine:
```
$query = $wpdb->prepare("SELECT meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = 'job_bm_job_type' AND meta_value LIKE '%a%' LIMIT 1");
```
But if try to use other text in LIKE part I don't get any results
```
$query = $wpdb->prepare("SELECT meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = 'job_bm_job_type' AND meta_value LIKE '%full%' LIMIT 1");
```
Ideally, LIKE request should search through data of all the string. But it seems like it doesn't search inside the content of square brackets `{ }`
What I miss here? How to search through any elements in this field? | First: have a read-up on [robots.txt](https://blog.hubspot.com/website/robots-txt-wordpress), if you haven't. Another good reference is [this one from Yoast](https://yoast.com/ultimate-guide-robots-txt/).
The sample you posted:
```
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Sitemap: https://knowingart.com/wp-sitemap.xml
```
...tells all user-agents (ie, all crawlers) that they are *not allowed* to crawl *anything* in your `wp-admin` directory *except* `/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php`, [which is required by WordPress for properly-functioning AJAX](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/javascript/ajax/#url).
It's *not* telling robots to go to your `/wp-admin/` directory; it's telling them they're unwelcome there (except for the AJAX requirement).
As for your question #4, I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that one. |
403,800 | <p>There are loads of articles out there on how to completely disable Wordpress RSS feeds, my configuration (<code>functions.php</code>) is:</p>
<pre><code>function disable_feed() {
wp_die( 'You Died' , 200 );
}
add_action('do_feed', 'disable_feed', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rdf', 'disable_feed', 1);

add_action('do_feed_atom_comments', 'disable_feed', 1);
</code></pre>
<p>But instead of getting a nice-looking HTML page with the bordered content normally associated with the <code>wp_die()</code> function, when browsing to https://website/feed/ I'm getting this knarley page back:</p>

] | I am trying to allow visitors to seek specific times on the embed rumble video inside the wordpress post by clicking to timestamp links. I can do it for youtube videos using Skip to Timestamp plugin or methods like [this one](https://wickydesign.com/how-to-add-timestamps-to-embedded-youtube-videos/) however, I cannot make it work for embed rumble videos.
I desperately need to make this work for a rumble video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers. | First: have a read-up on [robots.txt](https://blog.hubspot.com/website/robots-txt-wordpress), if you haven't. Another good reference is [this one from Yoast](https://yoast.com/ultimate-guide-robots-txt/).
The sample you posted:
```
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Sitemap: https://knowingart.com/wp-sitemap.xml
```
...tells all user-agents (ie, all crawlers) that they are *not allowed* to crawl *anything* in your `wp-admin` directory *except* `/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php`, [which is required by WordPress for properly-functioning AJAX](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/javascript/ajax/#url).
It's *not* telling robots to go to your `/wp-admin/` directory; it's telling them they're unwelcome there (except for the AJAX requirement).
As for your question #4, I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that one. |

404,065 | <p>I Need to filter content for posts. If the user is not logged in, then the post content should display "please log in....". If he is logged in, then he can see the post content.
I wrote the filter:</p>

Is it possible to filter content for get\_the\_content()? Maybe there is another way to solve this issue? | *tl;dr. There's probably a good way for you to do this in the specific case you describe, although WordPress does **not** allow for good, general filtering of the return value from `get_the_content()`.*
### You cannot do this directly, but ...
There currently (as of WordPress 5.9.2, checked on 24 March 2022) isn't a convenient, direct and reliable filter hook for filtering the entire output of `get_the_content()` just as such. `the_content()` runs its output through a final filter before outputting it, but `get_the_content()` does not run its output through a final filter before returning it; sorry.
You can review the source code for [`get_the_content()` at the WordPress Code Reference site](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_content/) to confirm; you are looking for instances of the function `apply_filters( ... )` which might be applied on the return-value variable `$output`. In the current version of WordPress, there aren't any, although there are instances of `apply_filters( ... )` being used to filter components of the output (for example the "Read More..." link element near the end of the function.
### Still, *in your specific case*, you might be able to highjack the Password-Protected Post functionality to do what you want to do ...
**HOWEVER**, there is a potential solution for this, ***if*** you are willing to potentially interfere with the normal functionality of Password-Protected Posts in your installation of WordPress. (That is, posts where an editor has set a password for readers to access the content of that one particular post. If you're not using this feature and not likely to do so in the future, then this solution may work for you. If you are using that feature, or may do so in the future, the solution you adopt might need to become significantly more complex to avoid unwanted side-effects.
Here's what you need to do:
1. **Set up a filter on the hook `post_password_required`** which will return `true` if the user is **not** logged in, and `false` if the user **is** logged in. For example, you could put this code in `functions.php` or another appropriate location:
```
add_filter( 'post_password_required', function ( $required, $post ) {
$required = ( ! is_user_logged_in() );
return $required;
}, 2, 10);
```
For your original example, you need a bit more complex behavior than this -- in particular, you apparently only want this to happen with posts within a hard-coded Custom Post Type and assigned to a particular hard-coded Term. In that case, you can use a more complex boolean expression in the assignment to `$required`:
```
add_filter( 'post_password_required', function ( $required, $post ) {
$required = ( $post->post_type == 'do_pobrania' && has_term( 'zabezpieczony','rodzaj_plikow', $post ) && ! is_user_logged_in() );
return $required;
}, 2, 10);
```
2. **Set up a hook on the filter `the_password_form`** which returns the HTML that you want to display when the user is excluded from seeing the content. For example, here's how to display a paragraph including a link to log in to WordPress, and then redirect back to the page you were viewing before:
```
add_filter( 'the_password_form', function ( $output, $post ) {
$login_url = wp_login_url( home_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) );
$output = sprintf('<p>Please <a href="%s">log in</a> ...</p>', esc_url( $login_url ) );
return $output;
}, 2, 10);
```
This procedure removes the input form that is normally used to collect the post password for password-protected posts; so, again, if you use that functionality, this solution will break it unless you do something significantly more complicated here.
Once these two filters are added, any template or function that uses `get_the_content()` to retrieve post content will be blocked when users aren't logged in (or whenever the conditions you set in the first filter function, whatever those may be, are met). Note that this solution will, *in general*, cause login-gated posts to be treated the way that password-protected posts are treated -- for example, they will not have excerpts displayed, their content will not appear in RSS/Atom feeds, etc. etc. Given what you are trying to do here, it seems likely that these side-effects may be acceptable; but if not, then be careful.
### Some Technical Notes on Why This Works
The relevant part of `get_the_content()` is on lines 313-316 of [`wp-includes/post-template.php`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/files/wp-includes/post-template.php/):
```
function get_the_content( $more_link_text = null, $strip_teaser = false, $post = null ) {
/* [...] */
// If post password required and it doesn't match the cookie.
if ( post_password_required( $_post ) ) {
return get_the_password_form( $_post );
}
/* [...] */
}
```
So **IF** [`post_password_required()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/post_password_required/) returns `true`, **THEN** `get_the_content()` will just return the value returned by [`get_the_password_form()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_password_form/) in place of the post content. *These* functions can both be filtered using simple filter hooks:
```
function post_password_required( $post = null ) {
/**
* Filters whether a post requires the user to supply a password.
*
* @since 4.7.0
*
* @param bool $required Whether the user needs to supply a password. True if password has not been
* provided or is incorrect, false if password has been supplied or is not required.
* @param WP_Post $post Post object.
*/
return apply_filters( 'post_password_required', $required, $post );
}
```
```
function get_the_password_form( $post = 0 ) {
$post = get_post( $post );
$label = 'pwbox-' . ( empty( $post->ID ) ? rand() : $post->ID );
$output = '<form action="' . esc_url( site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=postpass', 'login_post' ) ) . '" class="post-password-form" method="post">
<p>' . __( 'This content is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:' ) . '</p>
<p><label for="' . $label . '">' . __( 'Password:' ) . ' <input name="post_password" id="' . $label . '" type="password" size="20" /></label> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="' . esc_attr_x( 'Enter', 'post password form' ) . '" /></p></form>
';
/**
* Filters the HTML output for the protected post password form.
*
* If modifying the password field, please note that the core database schema
* limits the password field to 20 characters regardless of the value of the
* size attribute in the form input.
*
* @since 2.7.0
* @since 5.8.0 Added the `$post` parameter.
*
* @param string $output The password form HTML output.
* @param WP_Post $post Post object.
*/
return apply_filters( 'the_password_form', $output, $post );
}
```
You can take advantage of these filter hooks (1) to require WordPress to block the post content in *any* context that respects Password-Protected Post security; and (2) to deliver arbitrary HTML (in this case a simple login link) in *place* of the post content in any context that displays an input field to get the post password. Hope this helps! |
404,089 | <p>How can we change the redirect_url for a redirect action based on the response from an API?</p>
<p>I have created a custom action (extending <code>NF_Abstracts_Action </code>) that runs during submission with <code>late</code> timing and calls an external API.</p>
<p>Based on that response I want to change the page being redirected to. I cam get the actions with <code>NinjaForms()->form(2)->get_actions()</code>, but changing the <code>redirect_url</code> of the redirect action in that array doesn’t alter the current flow.</p>
<p>Alternatively how can I send a querystring containing data from the API to the redirected page?</p>
<p>Also tried an alternate approach, of redirecting inside a <code>WP Hook action</code></p>
<pre><code>function ninja_test_action($form_data) {
error_log('inside wp hook action - about to redirect');
wp_redirect('https://wp.test');
}
add_action('ninja_test_action', 'ninja_test_action',10,1);
</code></pre>
<p>This fails with a console error: <code>TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'nonce')</code></p>
<p>This testing is being performed on a fresh and clean install of WordPress 5.9 using a clean Underscores theme and only the Ninja Forms plugin installed.</p>

] | How can we change the redirect\_url for a redirect action based on the response from an API?
I have created a custom action (extending `NF_Abstracts_Action` ) that runs during submission with `late` timing and calls an external API.
Based on that response I want to change the page being redirected to. I cam get the actions with `NinjaForms()->form(2)->get_actions()`, but changing the `redirect_url` of the redirect action in that array doesn’t alter the current flow.
Alternatively how can I send a querystring containing data from the API to the redirected page?
Also tried an alternate approach, of redirecting inside a `WP Hook action`
```
function ninja_test_action($form_data) {
error_log('inside wp hook action - about to redirect');
wp_redirect('https://wp.test');
}
add_action('ninja_test_action', 'ninja_test_action',10,1);
```
This fails with a console error: `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'nonce')`
This testing is being performed on a fresh and clean install of WordPress 5.9 using a clean Underscores theme and only the Ninja Forms plugin installed. | So, the way I've ended up doing this is as follows. It's probably not the optimal way but I can't find a way to change the submission data during the submission workflow (the redirect action always seems to read the original entered data). Basically, the key hook is `ninja_forms_run_action_settings` where you can filter `$action_settings` which contains the redirect url.
In my Action class:
```
class CustomProcessing extends NF_Abstracts_Action {
private string $_redirect_url;
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->_nicename = 'Custom Process';
add_filter( 'ninja_forms_run_action_settings', [ $this, 'changeRedirectURL' ], 10, 4 );
}
public function process( $action_id, $form_id, $data ) {
// code to call API endpoint
// set redirect url on response from API
if ( 201 === $response[ 'response' ][ 'code' ] ) {
$this->_redirect_url = $body_url;
}
return $data
}
public function changeRedirectURL( $action_settings, $form_id, $action_id, $form_settings )
{
if ( '<redirect action name>' === $action_settings[ "label" ] ) {
$action_settings[ 'redirect_url' ] = $this->_redirect_url;
}
return $action_settings;
}
}

404,120 | <p>I have a hierarchical CPT <code>event</code> with taxonomy <code>event_category</code>. One of those categories is "Recap". When a user saves a post (could be draft, publish, or edit existing), if the <code>event_category</code> is Recap and the post has a parent, I want to set the slug to "recap" automatically.</p>

That is normal.
* `WP_Query::$query_vars` is an array of query vars merged with the default ones for [`WP_Query`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/).
So if you do `$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_status' => 'publish' ) )` (or `$query = new WP_Query( 'post_status=publish' )`) and then later do `$query->set( 'tax_query', array( ... ) )`, then `$query->query_vars` would contain both `post_status` and `tax_query`, as well as other vars like `posts_per_page`, `post_type`, etc.
* `WP_Query::$tax_query` is an instance of the [`WP_Tax_Query` class](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_tax_query/) and is used by `WP_Query` for generating the SQL's `JOIN` and `WHERE` clauses for the taxonomy query (`tax_query`) in the `$query_vars` array. |

This isn't a bulletproof solution, but it should work in that non-admin users would no longer be able to access any admin pages when they're **logged-in**:
```php
add_action( 'admin_init', function () {
if ( wp_doing_ajax() || ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
return;
}
$roles = (array) wp_get_current_user()->roles;
if ( ! in_array( 'administrator', $roles ) ) { // allows only the Administrator role
wp_die( 'Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.' );
// or you can redirect the user to somewhere, if you want to
}
} );
```
But then, you might want to change the login and registration *redirect URL* so that it doesn't send the user to an admin page upon successful login/registration — see the documentation for [`login_redirect`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/login_redirect/) and [`registration_redirect`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/registration_redirect/).

I can't help you with that *plugin*, but unless if you're still using WordPress prior to v5.6.0, then you should not need to use a plugin anymore because application passwords has been a [core feature in WordPress since v5.6.0](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/11/05/application-passwords-integration-guide/). And there's actually a hook named [`wp_is_application_passwords_available_for_user`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_is_application_passwords_available_for_user/) that you could use to disable the feature for certain users.

If so, and since you said in your comment, "*The rest api is restricted for authenticated users*", then how about using the [`rest_authentication_errors` hook](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/rest_authentication_errors/) to ensure only Administrators allowed to access the REST API?
Working example:
```php
add_filter( 'rest_authentication_errors', function ( $errors ) {
if ( ! is_wp_error( $errors ) ) { // do nothing if there's already an error
if ( $can_access = is_user_logged_in() ) {
$roles = (array) wp_get_current_user()->roles;
$can_access = in_array( 'administrator', $roles ); // allows only the Administrator role
}
if ( ! $can_access ) {
return new WP_Error( 'user_not_allowed',
'Sorry, you are not allowed to access the REST API.',
array( 'status' => rest_authorization_required_code() )
);
}
}
return $errors;
} );

</code></pre>
<p>But not with array values:</p>
<pre class="lang-php prettyprint-override"><code>get_option( 'admins_settings' )['option_name'];
</code></pre>
<p>Because the option <code>admins_settings</code> could be there, but it doesn't have that item <code>option_name</code>.</p>
<p>Again, is there any way to get the sub-value of the field with one hit?</p>

] | I have an option `admins_settings` that has an array of sub-options that is stored in the `wp_options` table. Before I get its value from the table, I check if this field exists by running this code:
```php
if ( !isset( get_option( 'admins_settings' )['option_name'] ) ) {
return false;
} else {
return get_option( 'admins_settings' )['option_name'];
}
```
Here, I'm hitting the table 2 times (if the field exists) to get its value. Is there any way to get the value of the field with one hit?
I know that the `get_option` function accepts a default value if the option doesn't exist. But this works with the simple values:
```php
get_option( 'admins_settings', false );
```
But not with array values:
```php
get_option( 'admins_settings' )['option_name'];
```
Because the option `admins_settings` could be there, but it doesn't have that item `option_name`.
Again, is there any way to get the sub-value of the field with one hit? | >

They are all simple values, and they are *always* simple values. Options are strings, and have always been strings. If you try to save an array/object then WordPress will attempt to turn it into a string using PHP `serialize`, then deserialize it when you fetch it. This has security consequences.
There is no such thing as "sub-options", "nested options", or "child options". There is just options. `admins_settings` is your option, and WordPress sees the entire array as the value, not a series of values, but a singular value that must be serialized. You cannot provide defaults for sub-values this way because options cannot have sub-values. That your value contains structured data is coincidental.
Instead, you have 2 options
1. Store separate values as separate values, ideally with a prefix
2. Treat you array as an array and not a weird sub-option ( because there's no such thing as sub-options )
So you would check it the same way you would check an array has a value:
```php
$data = [];
if ( isset( $data['test'] ) ) {
return $data;
} else {
return false;
}
```
Remember, the options table uses plaintext for the value column, the idea that you can store objects and arrays is an illusion WordPress provides to make life easier, and one that would be near impossible to fix after nearly 2 decades. |

[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Zjnet.png) | The evolution of this question makes it difficult to succinctly answer, but in brief summary:
* Using [`$wpdb->prepare()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/prepare/) to construct arbitrary SQL queries to execute against the database helps to mitigate [injection vulnerabilities](https://xkcd.com/327/) by escaping inserted variables. To use it, instead of concatenating or directly inserting variables into the query, use a placeholder for the appropriate type of data, then pass the variable which be inserted in that location in a respectively indexed array as the second argument.
* If this character data is input by end-users, you should also consider [sanitizing the inputs prior to inserting them into the database, and possibly escaping the values prior to displaying them on the front-end](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/theme-security/data-sanitization-escaping/) to further mitigate the risk of injection vulnerability and to prevent end users from displaying arbitrary HTML/JavaScript when their character data is displayed.
* Queries executed via [`$wpdb->get_results()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/get_results/) return an array of objects, with the properties on the objects being named after the columns in the SQL table. If you prefer to work with arrays instead (either associative or numerically indexed) you can change this behavior by passing one of the predefined constants in as the second argument.
* When printing a non-primative data structure such as an object, PHP won't automatically serialize the object into a string for display. `print_r()` is capable of printing most common data structures, but `var_dump()` is a invaluable development aide when you're not sure of the type of the value.
All of that said, since each object in the array represents one row from your database table and since HTML tables are constructed one row at a time, you can simply use a single `foreach` loop to place the relevant values from each item into a cell:
```php
<?php
global $wpdb;
$uid = get_current_user_id();
$sql = $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT * FROM `sr3_characters` WHERE `wp_id` = %s", array( $uid ) );
$results = $wpdb->get_results( $sql );

<?php } ?>

Yes, but you should be using `get_terms`/`WP_Term_Query`/`wp_get_object_terms`/etc and the other term APIs instead as they're safer and can be much faster. SQL bypasses object caches and performance plugins, as well as local caches, bulk fetches and security protections.
If you're going to perform an SQL query though, don't try to escape it, use `prepare` to insert variables into the query ( never do it directly! ):
```php
$safe_sql = $wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `column` = %s AND `field` = %d OR `other_field` LIKE %s",
[ 'foo', 1337, '%bar' ]
);
```

] | I would like to show both "author" (one or more) and "reviewed by" (just one person) for Wordpress posts and pages on my website.
This would be for example a situation where an article is written by a content producer but the information has to be reviewed by an MD or other credentialed medical expert.
This type of functionality is in my opinion pretty much a must on YMYL (your money, your life) type websites.
My current understanding is that there is no way to do this in a way that would be native to Wordpress and I should just use some sort of meta information plugin and add the reviewer as meta information on each page and post. | >

Yes, but you should be using `get_terms`/`WP_Term_Query`/`wp_get_object_terms`/etc and the other term APIs instead as they're safer and can be much faster. SQL bypasses object caches and performance plugins, as well as local caches, bulk fetches and security protections.
If you're going to perform an SQL query though, don't try to escape it, use `prepare` to insert variables into the query ( never do it directly! ):
```php
$safe_sql = $wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `column` = %s AND `field` = %d OR `other_field` LIKE %s",
[ 'foo', 1337, '%bar' ]
);
```

I hope the idea is clear | Short answer:
You can't from that code
---
Longer answer:
So the code above will simply increment a counter based on the last value the counter was on. There's no way to tell when that page-view or count starts from it's simply a number. You have no data on when that page view was counted or even last updated and certainly not how many of those counts occurred in the last week.
I've written about this before as it's not a simple topic but in a nutshell counting post views efficiently is a nightmare - by recording views and writing data back to that same data source you are removing your read-cache from the database query, every time a page is viewed your database will need to be read from fresh as a write has just written your post-meta value with a counter.
The most efficient way I've found of doing this is to use an external service like Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics then query their API periodically for your popularity data. Perhaps every 2 -3 or 6 - 12 hours (depending on your web traffic) and get your popularity data from a data source that already has it there. You're really re-inventing the wheel with page-views - big companies have already spent 000s on making this efficient.
If you want to do it yourself - strap-in as you'll be looking at multiple, separate database tables, custom indexing structure, cron-jobs to process lists of timestamps against pages and Ajax calls to your counter so server-side page caching can work effectively.
I've had to abandon the more popular page view counting plugins on the WP.org plugin repo as they were all dismally inefficient - adding overhead and page-load times that were unacceptable. If you're running a small site it probably won't matter - you should take something off the shelf and use that... but remember to add it to the top of the list to change when / if your site traffic grows.

] | I’m trying to apply the `pre_get_posts` to a specific *core/query* block, in order to programatically modify the number of posts displayed when a custom attribute is set. If I use the `render_block` hook, the block is already pre-rendered and so modifying the query using `pre_get_posts` has no effect. Is there any way to achieve this?
(I don't need help adding the custom attribute; I've done so already using block filters.) | **Update:**
It's possible to use the [`render_block_data`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/render_block_data/) filter to modify the query block's data before it's rendered.
Since 6.1. the [`query_loop_block_query_vars`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/query_loop_block_query_vars/) filter is available if one needs to modify the underlying `WP_Query` arguments (e.g. those that are still unsupported by the query block's interface) but it only works for the front-end but not the editor preview that uses the REST API (see more on that in the docs [here](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/block-tutorial/extending-the-query-loop-block/#making-your-custom-query-work-on-the-front-end-side)).
**Original answer:**
There's an open ticket for such a query args filter [#54850](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54850).
In the meanwhile you can try this approach, replacing the render callback of the `core/post-template` block with a wrapper callback:
```
add_filter( 'block_type_metadata_settings', function( $settings ) {
if ( $settings['parent'][0] !== 'core/query' ) {
return $settings;
}
if ( $settings['render_callback'] !== 'render_block_core_post_template' ) {
return $settings;
}
$settings['render_callback']= 'wpse_render_block_core_post_template';
return $settings;
});
```
with the wrapper callback as:
```
function wpse_render_block_core_post_template($attributes, $content, $block ){
$output = render_block_core_post_template( $attributes, $content, $block );
return $output;
}
```
Now we have a better way to target the `WP_Query` instance within that core template.
Following are two such examples.
Example with `pre_get_posts`
----------------------------
Here's an example how to override the *number of posts* with the help of the `pre_get_posts` hook:
```
function wpse_render_block_core_post_template( $attributes, $content, $block ) {
$cb = fn( $q ) => $q->set( 'posts_per_page', 2 );
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', $cb, 999 );
$output = render_block_core_post_template( $attributes, $content, $block );
remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', $cb, 999 );
return $output;
}
```
Example with block context
--------------------------
We could also change existing query arguments within [`build_query_vars_from_query_block()`](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/7b880889bc92552cdab7b0dd700db82a3885d02d/wp-includes/blocks.php#L1097), like `perPage`, with:
```
function wpse_render_block_core_post_template( $attributes, $content, $block ) {
$block->context['query']['perPage'] = 2;
return render_block_core_post_template($attributes, $content, $block );
}
```
Then you can add further restrictions as needed to both approaches, from e.g. other block info, like `queryId`. |

But try the following options to solve the problem.
Install again, Core or WP CLI
=============================
Copy all files from the core again in your installation, like via sFTP, especially all files in the directories `wp-inlcudes` and `wp-admin`. Run the installation again. Alternate if you have the possibility with the usage of [WP CLI](https://wp-cli.org/) `wp core update-db --network`.
Upgrade again
=============
Go in your installation to the URL `wp-admin/network/upgrade.php` and perform the upgrade again.
Manual
======
Create the table or check your manual steps for this creation
```sql
CREATE TABLE $wpdb->blogmeta (
meta_id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

meta_value longtext,
PRIMARY KEY (meta_id),
KEY meta_key (meta_key($max_index_length)),
KEY blog_id (blog_id)
) $charset_collate;
```
Now look at the table `wp_sitemeta`, field `site_meta_supported` and set the value to 1. Background is, WP looks via `is_site_meta_supported()` for this value to use the table. |

In the above example, if `$post_id == 2` , the `echo $post_id;` code should not run in `test()`. | This should be possible, WordPress provides the [WP\_Session\_Tokens](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_session_tokens/) class to manage logged in sessions. Then it's just a matter of connecting it to the cron. The following is a simple plugin file which I think should do it. Add it to the plugins directory and it should start working. \*not tested.

405,993 | <p>I am using <code>get_pages</code> to pull the children pages from a parent and listing them in a similar way to the standard WP loop for pages.

406,014 | <p>I'm wondering if there is a way to remove the typography and custom color panels from the sidebar for <em>just</em> the paragraph block.</p>

<pre><code> public function typography_custom_color_theme_support() {
// Disable Custom Color Picker
add_theme_support( 'editor-color-palette' );
add_theme_support( 'disable-custom-colors' );
// Disable Font Size and Custom Font Size Dropdowns
add_theme_support( 'editor-font-sizes' );
add_theme_support( 'disable-custom-font-sizes' );

<p>If possible, could I add a conditional to this along the lines of "if paragraph block is selected run add_theme_support actions?"</p>

] | How can I disable wordpress login temporarily even for administrator users? is there any solution? | You could hook into the [`wp_authenticate_user` filter](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_authenticate_user/) and return an error.
Something like:
```php
add_filter( 'wp_authenticate_user', 'wpse_406123_stop_login', -1 );
function wpse_406123_stop_login() {
$message = new WP_Error( 'login_disabled', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: You cannot login at this time' ) );
return $message;
}
```
You can then change your security keys -[the ones that look like this](https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/) to something different - that will invalidate all current logins. |
