If you look at the Action Reference, you can see the order things happen. Note where init is, the query object doesn’t exist until the wp action. // … init └─ widgets_init register_sidebar wp_register_sidebar_widget wp_default_scripts wp_default_styles admin_bar_init add_admin_bar_menus wp_loaded parse_request send_headers parse_query pre_get_posts posts_selection wp // …
Eventually I did this in the function of my plugin where I was loading my game, $mycredhook = new my_demo_hook_class(); do_action( ‘play_game’, $mycredhook); Not sure if this is the correct way to go, but it worked.
Your function does not have to accept all arguments, you can not specify the number of accepted arguments and it will default to passing just the first. You can also specify any number up to and including the total number of arguments. For example if you only need the first 2, this will also work: … Read more
It think that your problem is the you are passing the post ID as url parameter to facebook API: $url = get_the_ID(); Also, as get_posts return an array of post objects, you could use this code: $posts = get_posts(array(‘numberposts’ => -1) ); foreach($posts as $post) { $url = get_permalink( $post->ID ); $fbcount = json_decode( file_get_contents( … Read more
I’ve actually made a plugin called Social Metrics Tracker which does exactly what you are trying to achieve. Please also feel free to read the source code on GitHub. To answer your questions: You are right that running an hourly cron task to update all of the posts would cause a problem with even just … Read more
You need to insert your term after the init hook (i.e. when the taxonomy is registered): function create_tax() { $args = array(…); register_taxonomy(‘custom_tax’, array(‘post’), $args); // Now we’re safe $result = wp_insert_term(‘Test Term’, ‘custom_tax’, array(‘parent’=>0) ); }
As I said in the question post, I finally solved it by looking into the $_POST global. There’s a $_POST[‘sticky’] field (valued as ‘sticky’) that is there just when a Post is sticky or is being made sticky, and it’s not when a post is not sticky or is being unsticked.
The earliest hook accessible from external code is muplugins_loaded. In order to use it, create a directory mu-plugins in your wp-content directory and put a PHP file into that directory. Sample code, will have side effects(!): add_action( ‘muplugins_loaded’, function() { print current_filter(); }); This is, of course, not “before anything else in WordPress executes”.

Does anyone know why this ‘comment_post’ hook doesn’t seem to work!? … When a comment is posted, the function is not triggered… at all? The hook works. Try the following, it works: add_action( ‘comment_post’, ‘test_notify’ ); function test_notify($args , $args2) { echo ‘It works!’; die; } As does this: add_action( ‘comment_post’, ‘test_notify’ ); function test_notify($args … Read more
Yes, there is a filter for this. The correct filter is wp_mail and is defined in /wp-includes/pluggable.php Line 135 So the code (maybe in your functions.php) should look something like this: function mail_template($args){ ob_start(); require_once (get_template_directory() . ‘/mail-templates/contacemail.php’); $args[‘message’] = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $args; } add_filter(‘wp_mail’, ‘mail_template’);
