It seems like the plugin you are using are quite important to you and/or your client, and the plugin itself is most probably regulary updated with proper support. I would definitely contact the author and discuss possible changes to the plugin. If a change is a constructive change and would bring some degree of usefulness … Read more
The short answer to your question is yes; however, the methods to do this are a little bit hacky and generally I would recommend against all of them unless absolutely necessary. Since pluggable functions actually replace the stock function by way of function_exists() whichever plugin that “plugs” the function first will win. What you want … Read more
You want to replace bimber_capture_entry_featured_media in your child theme. In the theme.php file you’ve given us you can see that this is only called in one place, from bimber_render_entry_featured_media, and the call is wrapped in a filter: if ( apply_filters( ‘bimber_render_entry_featured_media’, true, $args ) ) { echo bimber_capture_entry_featured_media( $args ); } where returning false from … Read more
So the solution to the get_comments_pagenum_link() function is straightforward enough: add_filter(‘get_comments_pagenum_link’ , ‘new_get_comments_pagenum_link’); function new_get_comments_pagenum_link($content) { $content = str_ireplace(‘#comments’ , ‘#other’, $content); return $content; } Which filters the output of get_comments_pagenum_link() to replace #content with #other, or any other string you might choose. For the get_comments_link() function, which can’t be filtered, I have simply discovered … Read more
I think that i figured it out. Gravatar default images need to be on a public url and not one blocked by htaccess. So i had this on my dev server and when i removed my htaccess file that was blocking access the images started to work. This seems to still be a new feature. … Read more
WordPress nonces are not your usually (‘use only once’) nonce. For a given $action, a new nonce is generated at every 12 hours and a nonces are valid for 24 hours, so at any given point there are two nonces valid for a given $action. The nonce is (a substring of) a hash of $action … Read more
Wait for the action plugins_loaded before you create the class instance. The pluggable functions are loaded at this time. From wp-settings.php: /** * Fires once activated plugins have loaded. * * Pluggable functions are also available at this point in the loading order. * * @since 1.5.0 */ do_action( ‘plugins_loaded’ ); I would even wait … Read more
Yes you need to use a plugin. Point is that pluggables are between hard and impossible to control. You can read through this thread on wp-hackers about the actual problems and why you shouldn’t use them. Important: Note: pluggable.php loads before the ‘plugins_loaded’ hook. This means that you need the “MU-plugins” (Must use) hook: mu_plugins_loaded … Read more
adjacent_posts_rel_link() calls get_adjacent_post_rel_link(), which runs its return value through the {$adjacent}_post_rel_link filter. The dynamic portion of the hook name, $adjacent, refers to the type of adjacency, ‘next’ or ‘previous’. You can use that filter to change the output accordingly. Here’s an example to change the second parameter: add_filter( ‘next_post_rel_link’, function( $link ) { return get_adjaxent_post_rel_link( … Read more
Pluggable functions are less elastic than filters/actions. You can have only one pluggable function “active” – so only one plugin can override the core function. And you don’t have much control over which plugin will it be (WP will use the pluggable function that gets defined first). So it won’t be very useful if all … Read more
