Custom fields in the billing address section woocommerce

I have run into these issues before myself. I am not entirely sure it’s possible to get adjust the billing address box directly unless you adjust the actual email template for the emails. Specifically, if you have access to the file structure, look in the “/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/emails” folder of the WooCommerce Plugin. They are made to … Read more

Is there a way to assign a default Category to a Post when the user creates a new Post?

WordPress presents default category as a setting in Settings -> Writing (though this doesn’t seem to pre-check the checkbox): The new_to_auto-draft action will allow you to do things to a new post before the page loads, and does pre-check the checkbox (tested): add_action( ‘new_to_auto-draft’, static function ( $post ) { $default_category_id = 25; // The … Read more

I could be entirely incorrect but I think the method of using single-custom_post_type.php only works for themes. (Again, I 100% could be wrong.)

Prefix user login_name and validate it is unique on Registration

The usual way to create a user goes with the register_new_user function. This function offers no filter for the user name. It just checks for uniqueness with username_exists. To actually create the user register_new_user then calls wp_create_user, which in turn calls wp_insert_user. The latter function contains the pre_user_login filter. Then it calls username_exists again, because … Read more

‘At a Glance’ dashboard: combining infos

dashboard_glance_items is a filter hook, not an action hook. See here for an explanation of the difference. Your at_glance() function doesn’t include the existing values, so only the items you return will be present in the At A Glance widget items. Something more like this: function at_glance( $items ) { $number_users = count_users(); $text = … Read more

Throw the exception } https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/did_action/ did_action returns the number of times that action has been run.
