For the record, I will never encourage developers to use custom database tables. Yes, they’re easy to use, but you lose 100% of the data abstraction provided by WordPress. add_option()/update_option()/get_option() are basic key-value functions. They store data in a MySQL LONGTEXT field. LONGTEXT can store over 4 million characters … so a 10000+ character option … Read more
The table wp_options can normally be queried using get_option() So you can use something like $testimonial_settings = get_option(‘testimonial_settings’); to retrieve the values of testimonial_settings. If the stored value is serialized, it will be retrieved as an array.
Unless you are working on WordPress core development you should not be writing anything but a: Theme Child Theme Plugin Mu-Plugin Drop-In For the last two see: http://hakre.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/must-use-and-drop-ins-plugins/ I am out on a limb a little bit here but I think that is the exhaustive list, with the first three by far the most common.
The privacy page was removed in WordPress 3.5. Go to wp-admin/options-reading.php and set search engine visibility there.
You would still do this with AJAX, except that instead of firing on some event like a ‘click’, or ‘hover’, or submit, you would fire the Javascript function on jQuery(document).ready instead. That will execute immediately on page load. It doesn’t let you execute the code before the page loads as your question states but you … Read more
You are talking about “Options”. These are saved in the *_options table and can be stored and retrieved using a number of Core functions (straight from the Codex page above): Add/Delete Option add_option() delete_option() add_site_option() delete_site_option() Get/Update Option get_option() update_option() get_site_option() update_site_option()
What you are looking at is serialized data– possibly multiple bits of serialized data as @Rarst noted. The Options API will serialize and unserialize automatically so all you need to do is: $data = get_option(‘optionkey’); // $data will be unserialized into whatever data type it was originally, object, array, etc // manipulate your data with … Read more
Edit file wp-config.php in root & define site url and home url: define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’); define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’); And go to admin dashboard and update permalink (Settings => Permalinks => Update).
There are several ways to add scripts only to certain admin pages. The best option, from my point of view, is to hook into admin_enqueue_scripts and use the $hook parameter: add_action(‘admin_enqueue_scripts’, ‘cyb_admin_scripts’); function cyb_admin_scripts( $hook ) { //You may need adjustment here to match for page //If the URL of your page is admin.php?page=psbg, the … Read more
You don’t. The get_option() function is a WordPress function. You cannot use it without loading WordPress. More to the point, you should not be calling a file in your plugin directly. You should make your form or whatever is directly linking to that file link to a normal WordPress endpoint instead, and have additional parameters … Read more
