if you look at the do_settings_sections function more specifically the line 1164 where the callback function is being executed : call_user_func($section[‘callback’], $section); you can see that the $section array is being passed to the callback function, so you can identify the callback by the $section[‘id’] hope this make since. Update here is an example, if … Read more
The init action is the wrong place to do it. A better place would be at template_redirect, so that you only affect the front end view of the site and not the admin areas.
I think the best option is an endpoint. You get all the data as a simple string, so you can decide how it will be parsed, and you don’t have to worry about collisions with other rewrite rules. One thing I learned about endpoints: keep the main work as abstract as possible, fix the glitches … Read more
While I agree with the previous answers, to answer the question you actually asked, what comes to mind is to use one of these constants for wp-config.php: define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘redacted’); define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘redacted’); define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘redacted’); define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘redacted’); They are meant to be unique across wordpress installations – and are about the only options for pre-existing keys to … Read more
You should put the named parameters of the route regex into an optional capturing group: register_rest_route( ‘api’, ‘/animals(?:/(?P<id>\d+))?’, [ ‘methods’ => WP_REST_Server::READABLE, ‘callback’ => ‘get_animals’, ‘args’ => [ ‘id’ ], ] ); The second parameter is simply a regex, thus you can use normal regex logic to make it more complex
The API you offer in a plugin or a theme depends on the logic of that specific code. There is probably no guide that applies to all situations. I am a contributor for multiple plugins with APIs, and what I have learned so far is: Do not offer an API until you really know how … Read more
You can get it without plugins by adding _embedas param to your query /?rest_route=/wp/v2/posts&_embed /wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed
I might be misunderstanding you, but why not use wp_create_nav_menu()? E.g., this is what I do to create a custom BuddyPress menu when I detect BP as active: $menuname = $lblg_themename . ‘ BuddyPress Menu’; $bpmenulocation = ‘lblgbpmenu’; // Does the menu exist already? $menu_exists = wp_get_nav_menu_object( $menuname ); // If it doesn’t exist, let’s … Read more
The way to do this is to use the ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’ hook to en-queue the files you need. This hook will get passed a $hook_suffix that relates to the current page that is loaded: function my_admin_enqueue($hook_suffix) { if($hook_suffix == ‘appearance_page_theme-options’) { wp_enqueue_script(‘my-theme-settings’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/theme-settings.js’, array(‘jquery’)); wp_enqueue_style(‘my-theme-settings’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/styles/theme-settings.css’); ?> <script type=”text/javascript”> //<![CDATA[ var template_directory … Read more
Hi @Sruly: You’ve pretty much answered your own question, but I’ll elaborate a bit. Action Hooks Actions Hooks are intended for use when WordPress core or some plugin or theme is giving you the opportunity to insert your code at a certain point and do one or more of the following: Use echo to inject … Read more
