I managed to solve the problem. Here’s how to do it, in case anyone else ever needs this solution. ** Updated Mar 10 3:30am EST ** The previous function that I had here was displaying the page properly, but was returning a 404 error code. I’ve replaced the bad code example with a working one … Read more
You’re much better off with using a (mu-)plugin. Just add a folder named mu-plugins in your wp-content directory and place your files there. Then add a plugin header comment to it: <?php /** * Plugin Name: Some Name * Plugin URI: http://example.com * Description: Loads something * Version: 0.1 * Author: Akamaozu * Author URI: … Read more
Maybe I’m missing something, but in your first print_r($articles), the global variable $articles is in the scope of the getArticles() function, so we’re all good there. But, in your second print_r($articles), which is happening after the closing brace of the getArticles() function declaration, $articles has not been globalized. So, it’s just set to the empty … Read more
get_template_directory() and get_stylesheet_directory() both pull form the wp-content/themes directory. The difference being that the former always pulls from the parent theme directory. Neither take parameters, so you just concatenate the rest of the path to the string returned from the appropriate function. That is: include get_template_directory().’/inc/social.php’; If your file is not in your theme directory, … Read more
First… I’m changing the backend/admin … Your description makes it sound like you are hacking Core. Don’t do that. It is a maintenance nightmare. The action hook in_admin_header looks to be placed about where you want to put your content. 190 /** 191 * Fires at the beginning of the content section in an admin … Read more
I have found the answer in another thread. Passing variables through locate_template Essentially the WordPress function get_template_part changes the scope of the variable $user_choice. PHP default behaviour when using include() is that the variable from the current script is still available in the included file. However because get_template_part() is a function any variables in that … Read more
To load images from the location you currently have them stored use get_site_url() to generate a path: $a = date(‘md’).”.jpg”; $a = get_site_url(null,’images/’.$a); // var_dump($a); Then use that information to create an img tag. I would recommend loading the images from a theme folder, if this is part of a particular theme. If that is … Read more
Try require(‘inc/test.php’); instead of require(‘/inc/test.php’); Remove / before inc.
As @toscho mentioned in his comment, your best bet is probably an autoloader of some sort… foreach ( glob( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . “subfolder/*.php” ) as $file ) { include_once $file; } There are plugins that do this kind of thing or possilby something like code snippets, but I’ll add some examples below… Example for … Read more
Ah, jeez: the ol’ check-all-your-plugins-first routine would’ve saved me some time. Apparently a 3rd-party ACF plugin, https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-google-font-selector-field/, was the cause of the issue. The slow page loading I mentioned was also remedied. That’s too bad. I need that stupid plugin.
