Exclude Everywhere but Admin Area?

by

Note that there’s no is_admin() method for the WP_Query class. But the interesting part is that PHP will not complain about this: $query->is_admin() where $query is an instance of WP_Query. It will just always return false. This is the reason why (#src): /** * Make private/protected methods readable for backwards compatibility. * * @since 4.0.0 … Read more

Query comments with non-empty ‘author_url’ value on Admin Comments Screen

by

We can set the author_url argument of WP_Comment_Query as null (empty string will not work) to search for comments that don’t have an author url. Currently (ver 4.8.1) the has_author_url isn’t supported. Using a sub-query to exclude those comments, with no author_url, using comment__not_in, should work, but wouldn’t probably scale well.

In such case, you should … Read more

Add custom css class to wp-list-table row for custom post type

by

Finally got a solution. Founded in WordPress Documentation add_filter(‘post_class’, ‘set_row_post_class’, 10,3); function set_row_post_class($classes, $class, $post_id){ if (!is_admin()) { //make sure we are in the dashboard return $classes; } $screen = get_current_screen(); //verify which page we’re on if (‘my-custom-type’ != $screen->post_type && ‘edit’ != $screen->base) { return $classes; } //check if some meta field is set … Read more
