The problem can partially be addressed with a must-use plugin hooking into the plugins_url filter. It won’t handle all other cases where plugin_basename() is used, such as register_activation_hook() and co. More info: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16953
TL;DR; Enqueue Using external stylesheet PRO: All your styles are in one spot. PRO: Reduces web page coding. PRO: Easier to maintain the plugin. PRO: Can use hooks to alter location of the file. PRO: Can use hooks to unqueue the file. PRO: Can use minify styles automatically. CON: Might add extra HTTP request (can … Read more
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
Thanks to @toscho for the useful answer, but it felt a bit hackish to me, so I poked around a bit and figured out I could add a filter instead: function wpa18013_add_pages_to_dropdown( $pages, $r ){ if(‘page_on_front’ == $r[‘name’]){ $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘stack’ ); $stacks = get_posts($args); $pages = array_merge($pages, $stacks); } return $pages; … Read more
This filter allows you to extend the map_meta_cap() function. This function is called by WP_User->has_cap() to convert a meta capability to one or more primitive capabilities. For example, you want to know whether the current user should be allowed to edit the current post, the edit_post meta capability. This depends on some factors: is the … Read more
Use wp_set_object_terms after you have the post id for each taxonomy: … $post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post ); wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $location, ‘location’ ); wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $sale_rental, ‘sale_rental’ ); wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $price, ‘price’ );
The wrapping div is easy. When you use wp_nav_menu(), add this argument: ‘container’ => false For the <ul> element, there’s an argument called ‘items_wrap’. See woodchucky’s answer for more info on that one (and upvote it!).
In my opinion, deprecating numberposts would not make sense, as numberposts is used to query x amount of posts, whilst posts_per_page is used to denote how many posts per page are being shown during pagination. If you were to deprecate numberposts in favor of simply posts_per_page, then pagination would not exist. ie: “numberposts” => 50, … Read more
PHPUnit would come to mind, if the WP test suite wasn’t so broken, and if WP had been designed and written in a way that it could actually be tested properly. 😉 More seriously, you can test your plugins all you want from their functional standpoint with unit tests and the like. The issue is … Read more
That’s because the file in which is_plugin_active() is defined – wp-admin/includes/plugin.php – is only loaded in the admin, after your plugin is loaded. Thus, you can only call it after ‘admin_init’ has fired: function check_some_other_plugin() { if ( is_plugin_active(‘some-plugin.php’) ) { … } } add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘check_some_other_plugin’ );
