The simplest way is to create two custom post types. One will be “news” and one will be “whats-new”. So for example, you could create a plugin in /wp-content/plugins/ called news-post-types.php. The code below will create special permissions that only apply to this post type: <?php /* Plugin Name: Post types and permissions for News … Read more
Besides looking at your inbox for any messages that WP might send you (they don’t always get sent), look at the error.log file in the site root and wp-admin folders. That will tell you where the error is. If it is a plugin, then rename that plugin’s folder temporarily, then try the update again. You … Read more
In the $wpdb->prefix_usermeta table, there is a meta key called $wpdb->prefix_capabilities. When users are created, the $prefix is hard-coded. You have to also edit the $prefix to the new one there. So in your example wp_capabilties becomes stx_capabilities. You must update it for all users.
In place of manage_options use the following permission instead: manage_woocommerce: add_submenu_page( ‘woocommerce’, ‘Custom Report’, ‘Custom Report’, ‘manage_woocommerce’, ‘report-with-invoice’, ‘report_with_invoice’ );
Remove the function inside the function, and instead call the wp_register_script and register_block_type inside the large function. Finally, remove the inner add_action() call, so you only have the ending one for the large function. function irm_lockdown_author_role() { if (isset($userrole->roles[0])) { $current_role = $userrole->roles[0]; } else { $current_role=”no_role”; } if (‘author’ == $current_role) { /* function … Read more
There is no definitive answer to this, but I’d like to share my 2 cents anyways. In practice, many plugins write to custom folders in ./wp-content/. Just checking one client site I see 6 custom folders in there (e.g. from security, backup, caching plugins, etc.). Some themes and plugins may even expect that they are … Read more
I think an elegant way to accomplish this would be to hook into map_meta_cap and deny users as though they do not have the capability to edit the post. This should also gate any other potential work-arounds, such as modifying the post through the REST API or direct POSTing. As an added benefit, it will … Read more
There are no known security vulnerabilities in 2.9.2 If any new vulnerabilities are discovered the fix will be packported. (This has not happened but if it did we would get a version 2.9.3) WordPress does not have a backport policy that goes further than the previous major release so it is unknown when the 2.9 … Read more
If you already have the files sitemap.xml and (if you have gzip enabled in Simple Google Sitemap) sitemap.xml.gz in the root directory of your WordPress installation, try deleting them and create new empty files with the correct permissions for that plugin, then manually run the sitemap generator. If these files don’t exist, try creating the … Read more
Turn off PHP Safe Mode, or get your host to do it for you. Lots and lots of things won’t work in safe mode. C’mon. Live on the edge. That’s where the fun is. 🙂
