This has very little to do with wordpress, but if this answer will help eliminate the usage of session, it might be worth it…. Sessions are stored on the hard disk of the server. This is problematic in a shared hosting scenarion because the session directory is most likely readable and writable by all process … Read more
What is an alternative method to the WordPress private _doing_it_wrong() function? There’s no way that WordPress is ever going to get rid of the _doing_it_wrong() function, so it’s perfectly safe to use it. But if for some reason you don’t want to use it because it’s marked private, then you could create a plugin that … Read more
wp_enqueue_script( ‘some-slug’, ‘/path/to/script.js’, array( ‘wp-edit-post’, ‘wp-plugins’, ‘wp-i18n’, ‘wp-element’ ), ‘0.1’ ); script.js: var el = wp.element.createElement; var __ = wp.i18n.__; var registerPlugin = wp.plugins.registerPlugin; var PluginPostStatusInfo = wp.editPost.PluginPostStatusInfo; var TextControl = wp.components.TextControl; function MyPostStatusInfoPlugin({}) { return el( PluginPostStatusInfo, { className: ‘my-post-status-info’ }, el( TextControl, { name: ‘my_edit_summary’, label: __( ‘Edit summary’ ), help: __( ‘Briefly … Read more
Normal cookies, as used by WordPress to keep you logged in for a certain period, are the way to check whether a user is logged in. Even if you close your computer they will be there when you switch it on again. Session tokens are something different. They are meant to transfer information between several … Read more
I use this to add form fields to the quick edit. It’s not entirely easy to do this in WP (yet) and it can be very difficult to find info on how to do it. You have to really dig through the source to find it too. Add Form fields to Quick Edit <?php add_action(‘quick_edit_custom_box’, … Read more

Add the following to your functions.php file as detailed here. Disable Admin Bar for everyone: // Disable Admin Bar for everyone if (!function_exists(‘disable_admin_bar’)) { function disable_admin_bar() { // for the admin page remove_action(‘admin_footer’, ‘wp_admin_bar_render’, 1000); // for the front-end remove_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_admin_bar_render’, 1000); // css override for the admin page function remove_admin_bar_style_backend() { echo ‘<style>body.admin-bar #wpcontent, … Read more
The answer lies within the wp_get_current_user() pluggable function. I simply changed the function name get_currentuserinfo() to wp_get_current_uesr() then made sure the returns were not boolean but return $current_user. This seems to be working well, including caching, etc. Hopefully this helps others. if ( ! function_exists( ‘wp_get_current_user’ ) ) : /** * This replacement function will … Read more
Filter option_active_plugins. You can change the result of get_option() here without actually changing the database. if ( defined( ‘DOING_AJAX’ ) && DOING_AJAX ) add_filter( ‘option_active_plugins’, ‘disable_plugins_temporary’ ); function disable_plugins_temporary( $plugins ) { // unset plugins you don’t need, then return $plugins; } Background wp_get_active_and_valid_plugins() calls get_option( ‘active_plugins’, array() ) to get the active plugins. In … Read more
toscho’s answer is correct as to the technical reasons to define your CPT in a plugin, but it seems to me that much of you question stems from a misunderstanding of the template hierarchy. Almost, but not quite, every template file that you’ve seen is optional. With the exception of the basic index.php template file, … Read more
