Since it is a performance question, you might be able to avoid using meta keys at all by storing/getting that data another way and not having to set a separate meta field to match with… a. You could get the year from the published $post->post_date… So that when doing the query just use the date … Read more
To get what you need you have to add a custom rewrite rule and to filter the permalink construction. The following code does both: <?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- /** * Plugin Name: Event Permalinks */ // Not a WordPress context? Stop. ! defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) and exit; // Wait until all needed functions … Read more
Late answer. has_archive applies only for the rewrite arguments. In Detail If has_archive is set to true, then the $archive_slug will get set to the rewrite[‘slug’] argument. If then a rewrite[‘with_front’] arg is set, then this one will get prepended. The result of this will then get added as rewrite rule: add_rewrite_rule( “{$archive_slug}/?$”, “index.php?post_type=$post_type”, ‘top’ … Read more
You can force use of your template for categories with the category_template filter: function wpa57439_category_template( $templates=”” ){ if( !is_array( $templates ) && !empty( $templates ) ) { $templates = locate_template( array( ‘archive-actors.php’, $templates ), false ); } elseif( empty( $templates ) ) { $templates = locate_template( ‘archive-actors.php’, false ); } else { $new_template = locate_template( … Read more
Yes, there isn’t currently built-in support for CPT archives, but that doesn’t mean you can’t extend WP to provide it. I just did this myself the other day… This won’t create the date-based archives you’re looking for, but it will give you virtual archive behavior for custom post types. Adding the date should just be … Read more
Place this in your functions.php file or create a simple plugin… /** * Display archive links based on year/month and format. * * The date archives will logically display dates with links to the archive post * page. * * The ‘limit’ argument will only display a limited amount of links, specified * by the … Read more
No, there is no “full archive” page like you describe created by default. This would basically be the twentyten index page set to display “your latest posts.” If you don’t want to access the archives via some sort of filter (category, author, year, month etc.) then you will need to create your own archive template … Read more
Using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin you can assign options pages to you custom posttype like this: if( function_exists(‘acf_add_options_page’) ) { acf_add_options_page(array( ‘page_title’ => ‘YOUR_PAGE_TILE Options’, ‘menu_title’ => ‘YOUR_MENU_TITLE Options’, ‘menu_slug’ => ‘options_YOUR_SLUG’, ‘capability’ => ‘edit_posts’, ‘parent_slug’ => ‘edit.php?post_type=YOUR_CUSTOM_POSTTYPE_SLUG’, ‘position’ => false, ‘icon_url’ => ‘dashicons-images-alt2’, ‘redirect’ => false, )); } That way you get an … Read more
With a dynamic CMS like WordPress, there is no real way to “lock it down.” As the web evolves, formerly unknown security holes are discovered and patched in new versions. In reality, unless you’re always running the latest version of WordPress (currently 3.0.4), your site is in some way vulnerable. If you don’t intend to … Read more
First, for layout and CSS styling, I would recommend creating template files for the contexts you want to customize; i.e. create a category.php and a tag.php for the category and tag index archive pages, respectively. In either case, copy archive.php (or, if it doesn’t exist, copy index.php), and rename the copy as category.php. Then, modify … Read more
