We can’t provide legal advice here, however publicly distributed themes and plugins should be GPL or GPL compatible, so long as you don’t violate the GPL you should be safe. A good measure of wether a license is compatible with the GPL or not, is if it adds restrictions. If you can do it under … Read more
you can use this code in the footer … <div class=”your-class-name”> <?php _e(‘Copyright © ‘, ‘textdomain’); ?> <?php echo date(‘Y’); ?> | <?php _e(‘Made by Dev ‘, ‘textdomain’); ?>| <a href=”#”><?php _e(‘Privacy Policy Terms of Use’, ‘textdomain’); ?></a> </div>
Putting aside the legal issues, and focusing on a function for displaying the current year, the problem is actually pretty straightforward: The theme developer gave you the wrong code. get_the_date( ‘Y’ ) gets the year of the publication date of the current post. This is not what you asked for. date( ‘Y’ ) is a … Read more
This functionality is Plugin territory. I strongly believe that the WordPress core team will never consider such functionality for WordPress core. Besides: such functionality is also pointless. Anyone who wants an image badly enough is going to be able to get them. (They can disable javascript thereby defeating the Plugin entirely; they can view source … Read more
Both functions check if the function corporate_plus_footer() exists. If not, one is defined. Without going deeper into hooks and filters, you can simply declare your own corporate_plus_footer() and the other won’t get loaded. Add this to your functions.php function corporate_plus_footer() { echo ‘it works’; } No additional add_action() or similar. Just this function in your … Read more
There was an issue with the code originally posted by kaiser in that it queried for year, month and day distinctly resulting in values representing “the largest month for any date” or the “smallest day for any date” rather than values representing the MAX and MIN dates globally. I altered that original code to query … Read more
To change the default for images (so you don’t have to choose “none” on the image links to checkboxes every time you insert an image into a post), you can go to yoursite.com/wp-admin/options.php; find the image_default_link_type option, and change the value from “file” to “none”.
In a nutshell – you can’t. PHP code is by nature plain non-compiled text and if someone really wants to copy it they shall. On top of that licensing considerations often strip whatever small things you can try. If you choose to or have to release under GPL you cannot forbid redistribution or put in … Read more
There are several scenarios: If you had authored your child theme from scratch, using only your custom code then it is clearly your product. If you had used code from parent theme in your child theme then it’s your derivative of it, it’s still yours but you also need to credit code used in line … Read more
Instead of removing all actions as suggested by @kero, you should remove the desired hooks only using remove_action. Removing all hooks will prevent 3rd party code from adding their code too when removed after they added their stuff (possibly including yours). To remove a specific hook you should search for the code which registers the … Read more
