You are right, this is very hacky. What I ending up doing was creating two new page templates Register and Activate and creating two new WordPress pages using those templates and then using a filter in my functions.php file to modify the behaviour one wpmu_signup_user_notification. Users will register on this new Register page and they … Read more
Depends the way you want to implement it. The static is used because you don’t have to instantiate the class to use the functions of the class. It’s up to you. I generally would do: <?php /*it’s good practice that every class has its own file. So put it in for example ‘classes/class-hooks.php’ and require … Read more
No, it doesn’t. You could hook into the appropriate filters and save the information in an option or in a custom post type. I would log updates to PHP, MySQL and the server software too. Would be an interesting project. 🙂
Your question is a bit specific if you “only” want to automatically import some posts/pages. There are other ways to do this then using a XML export file. If you have text-only posts, then you should use LOAD DATA INFILE. At first you have to export your posts. global $wpdb, $wp_filesystem; $tables = array( ‘posts’ … Read more
Here is the fixed version of your code. class vsetup { function __construct() { register_activation_hook(__FILE__,array($this,’activate’)); add_action( ‘init’, array( $this, ‘create_taxonomies’ ) ); } function activate() { $this->create_taxonomies(); wp_insert_term(‘Action’,’genre’); wp_insert_term(‘Adventure’,’genre’); } function create_taxonomies() { $genre_args = array( ‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘labels’ => array( ‘name’=> _x(‘Genres’, ‘taxonomy general name’ ), ‘singular_name’ => _x(‘Genre’, ‘taxonomy singular name’), ‘search_items’ … Read more
The answers here are overthought and too complex. Why deactivating the plugin instead of preventing activation? Something as simple as calling die(‘your error message here) upon activation will do the job. function activate($networkwide) { if (is_multisite() && $networkwide) die(‘This plugin can\’t be activated networkwide’); } register_activation_hook(‘your-plugin/index.php’,’activate’); Then when you try to activate in the panel, … Read more
For testing purposes you can use the log system (php_error.log): error_log(‘Plugin activated’, 0); // Check for DB table existance if(!$this->hasDBTable()){ error_log(‘Database not present’, 0); if($this->createCELabelsDBTables()){ error_log(‘Database was created.’, 0); } else { error_log(‘Error creating the CE Labels Plugin db tables!’, 0); } } else { error_log(‘Database OK’, 0); } To output error to the user … Read more
Your callback function should run when your plugin is network activated or activated for a single site. Either way, it should be working. However, if you intend for the code contained within your callback to be ran for each blog in your network, then be aware that this will not happen out of the box, … Read more
You can use wp_get_theme: <?php $theme = wp_get_theme(); // gets the current theme if ( ‘Twenty Twelve’ == $theme->name || ‘Twenty Twelve’ == $theme->parent_theme ) { // if you’re here Twenty Twelve is the active theme or is // the current theme’s parent theme } Or, you can simply check if a function in twentytwelve … Read more
Maybe using the wp_redirect() function in the activation hook. In the following example myplugin_settings is a placeholder. Normally this simply is the $hook_suffix you get back from $hook_suffix = add_menu_page( /* etc. */ ); and similar functions. THIS CODE DOESN’T WORK, READ BELOW register_activation_hook(__FILE__, ‘cyb_activation’); function cyb_activation() { // Don’t forget to exit() … Read more
