Option 1 is the solution, here’s a smaller example: $obj = new Obj(); …. register_block_type( ‘my-plugin/my-block’, [ ‘editor_script’ => ‘editor-script-handle’, ‘render_callback’ => [ $obj, ‘block_save_function’ ] ] ); In that code [ $obj, ‘block_save_function’ ] is equivalent to $obj->block_save_function(…. The important thing to note, is that render_callback‘s value is a PHP callable type. You need … Read more
Some basic rules for object organization in a plugin. One class declaration per file, no other code in that file. The creation of a new instance – new Dummy_Class – should not be in the same file as the class declaration. Everything that is sending data to the user (presentation) should get its own class: … Read more
Wait for the action plugins_loaded before you create the class instance. The pluggable functions are loaded at this time. From wp-settings.php: /** * Fires once activated plugins have loaded. * * Pluggable functions are also available at this point in the loading order. * * @since 1.5.0 */ do_action( ‘plugins_loaded’ ); I would even wait … Read more

Following that recommendation, I will write my answer using modern PHP, which is not meant for a distributed plugin, but rather for own projects where you … Read more
WordPress can not load scripts after init hook. PluginBoilerplate is missing the correct handling process for those kind of usage. This OOP WP Plugin Boilerplate do it much better, and provide loader classes for admin and client.

However, one thing I see that is likely responsible for at least part of your problem is the way in which you are calling add_meta_box(). add_meta_box() should be called during the add_meta_boxes action. I’ve … Read more
You’re doing it correct @its_me. The latter, get_term_by() would be the best way, In my opinion , as I believe get_category_by_path uses get_term_by, just prepopulating the taxonomy to be category. Edit: As I mentioned in my comment, get_category_by_path is much less efficient, since it gets multiple terms,. and then compares the hierarchical path. get_term_by is … Read more
I don’t know if you solved this, I just had same problem, Second argument in do_action has special check if it is array with only one object, In that case they use reference to object in array instead of array with object. I believe they use this method to pass and preserve reference through function … Read more
You have mix up in static and non-static usage. Your style is non-static, but your methods are declared as such. If you enable WP_DEBUG mode you’ll see following errors: Notice: Undefined variable: this Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, first array member is not a valid class name or object This … Read more
That’s because the hook “transition_post_status” is called: After the post has been published or updated in the database After the status has been updated in the database.
