There is no other way, but I can not see how you need any other way then this. I believe that the insert ID accessed by $wpdb is the last ID by this instance of WPDB, other inserts should not affect that but I’m not sure. <?php $wpdb->insert(“QUERY”); $this_insert = $wpdb->insert_id; ?>
You’re missing the point that there is collation not only for the DB but as well for tables and even fields. Therefore from your point of view, I assume that your CREATE TABLE statement is “not complete”. Before using SQL statements, please learn the language first. See CREATE TABLE Syntax (MySQL Manual). Especially table_options / … Read more
You can simply put your init code within the constructor of the class. For example: class myWidget extends WP_Widget{ function myWidget(){ // Init code here } function widget( $args, $instance ) { // The widget code wp_enqueue_script(…); wp_enqueue_style(…); } // Over methods… } register_widget(‘myWidget’); My preference is to actually put the enqueue calls within the … Read more
There are comments in core code that this should be improved, but they are there for a while already. Basically there is no native function to add or remove part of some feature, only feature altogether. Doing it manually would be running something like this after theme is done (late on after_setup_theme hook): function add_thumbnails_for_cpt() … Read more
Use a file to write the events to. There are several drawbacks here; Filesystem permissions. When you deploy your app, you will have to take care to remember to give the webserver permission to write to the file. And to be extra sure, you’d have to write code which checks whether you can write to … Read more
Mark, I hate to say it, but you’re going about this the wrong way. PHP files in your plug-in should never be accessed directly in this way. Instead, they should be loaded from within WordPress just like everything else. Here are some alternative paths you could take: Create an admin page that displays your stats … Read more
I think you’ve got a naming conflict there — assuming that your plugin is linking to this Simple Contact Form — try changing the name to something like “Wilco’s Simple Contact Form”. You’ll need to update the plugin folder name and the main plugin file name as well. Update As Aniket points out, you might … Read more
Is this ok or should I just store it in an array form so I can just directly access it without using json_decode? In your case store it directly means store it serialized. Because $data is an array and cannot be stored as is, but converted to a string. Even if you access it directly … Read more
Having reread your question, I think I see the issue, and it stems from a misunderstanding of how register_activation_hook works, combined with some confusion over how you’re bootstrapping your code and what it means to bootstrap Part 1: register_activation_hook This function takes 2 parameters: register_activation_hook( string $file, callable $function ) The first parameter, $file is … Read more
Because you’re using a namespace in this class, you need to add a \ in front of the WP_Query call to tell PHP that it’s in the global namespace and not the namespace of this class. Try this: $query = new \WP_Query($args);
