How can you make sure authors’ posts are longer than 250 words?

Prevent authors from publishing too short content: Here’s one idea using a custom post status, for example short: /** * Register a custom ‘short’ post status * * @see http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/159044/26350 */ function wpse_short_post_status() { register_post_status( ‘short’, array( ‘label’ => _x( ‘Short’, ‘post’ ), ‘public’ => false, ‘exclude_from_search’ => true, ‘show_in_admin_all_list’ => true, ‘show_in_admin_status_list’ => true, … Read more

Show content after the first and second paragraph

My way to do this (see update below): function addParagraphs($content) { // you can add as many as you want: $additions = array( ‘<p>After 1st paragraph</p>’, ‘<p>After 2nd paragraph</p>’ ); $content = get_the_content(); $output=””; // define variable to avoid PHP warnings $parts = explode(“</p>”, $content); $count = count($parts); // call count() only once, it’s faster … Read more

Get ID of a page containing secondary loop in content

As others figured already out: If you have third party plugins with custom queries, you’ll have a bad day! One solution might be caching your results. Template (e.g.: page.php) while (have_posts()): the_post(); global $my_cached_data; $post_id = get_the_ID(); /* * If you have single meta keys, this array_map function * makes them easy to access; otherwise … Read more
