Follow up on @jmarceli’s and @squarecandy’s great answers. Here is a solution that allows for: Easier scaling (set an object in the php action) Updates to the correct menu depth when the location checkboxes are changed /** * Limit max menu depth in admin panel */ function limit_admin_menu_depth($hook) { if ($hook != ‘nav-menus.php’) return; wp_register_script(‘limit-admin-menu-depth’, … Read more
Place this below temporary code in your functions.php or any where that can be executed. add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘the_dramatist_debug_admin_menu’ ); function the_dramatist_debug_admin_menu() { echo ‘<pre>’ . print_r( $GLOBALS[ ‘menu’ ], TRUE) . ‘</pre>’; } Then search for the plugin-slug. In which array you find it copy the [2] value and put it in remove_menu_page(‘the [2] value’) … Read more
A much better hook to use would the the update_option_{option_name} dynamic hook, which only runs after your specific option has been updated. So something like: add_action(‘update_option_woocommerce_email_send_time’, ‘send_time’) function update_send_time() { // Add code here to update cron job } The only problem you’ll get here is that scheduling the cron job for a time earlier … Read more
Other than sorting with strnatcasecmp(), the only other place I see where the key might be used is if someone is applying custom menu ordering. However, since the menu is already being sorted based on the key order, it is unlikely that the keys would play any role in custom sorting. I can see no … Read more
you can create a function that redirects to the front-end like this: function redirect_home_987(){ wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; } and call that function in WordPress default add_menu_page function like this: add_menu_page( ‘redirecting’, ‘View Site’, ‘read’, ‘my-top-level-handle’, ‘redirect_home_987’); Hope this helps
Doing this search, I’ve found this fine answer by Chris_O. There’s even a jQuery solution I proposed there. Anyway, the function remove_menu_page(‘edit.php’); only removes the Posts menu. But, as we learn from Chris answer, remove_menu_page(‘edit.php?post_type=athletes’); removes the Custom Post Type menu. To really block access to the URL, as we’re merely hiding the menu item, … Read more
You have some messed up code. I have reformatted your code to code which actually works. The following solution allows you to give your Custom Post Type menu a menu name of what ever you want. Just change the label “menu_name”. POST TYPE // Create the news custom post type register_post_type(‘nwcm_news’, array( ‘labels’ => array( … Read more
Have a look at this list: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference It doesn’t matter which one you use as long as it’s not too early and not too late. It’s best to use intuitive and predictable hooks, so add_meta_boxes is preferred. Someday in the future WordPress may change something and by using the most appropriate hooks you increase your … Read more
Here’s how I recently added a custom taxonomy to the media library as a sortable column: // Add a new column add_filter(‘manage_media_columns’, ‘add_topic_column’); function add_topic_column($posts_columns) { $posts_columns[‘att_topic’] = _x(‘Topic’, ‘column name’); return $posts_columns; } // Register the column as sortable function topic_column_register_sortable( $columns ) { $columns[‘att_topic’] = ‘att_topic’; return $columns; } add_filter( ‘manage_upload_sortable_columns’, ‘topic_column_register_sortable’ ); … Read more
I would do this when you call add_options_page(), not later. It’s always better to do this with the supported API instead of playing with the internal structures. The plugin updater periodically checks the plugin status and then saves the result in a transient. This means that it only reads this cached status when the menu … Read more
