You can use the WordPres Plugin Directory Slurper shell script by Mark Jaquith to download the the most recent version of all plugins from the WordPress.org repo. Once the plugins have been downloaded, you can grep for the plugin/hook prefix you want to check, e.g.: grep -r –include=*.php ‘wpseo_’ ./ Unzip the WordPres Plugin Directory … Read more

Symbolic links are … risky in WordPress. It is easier to use a separate domain for plugins per wp-config.php: define( ‘WP_PLUGIN_DIR’, ‘/local/path/to/plugin/directory’ ); define( ‘WP_PLUGIN_URL’, ‘http://plugins.dev’); See Strategy On Building Plugin Using Eclipse as an example for IDE configuration with such a setup.
My best guess would be: if ( ! is_file( $dir = WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/pluginb/pluginb.php’ ) ) { if ( ! is_file( $dir = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/pluginb/pluginb.php’ ) ) $dir = null; } return $dir; However, the danger here is still the assumption of the plugin’s “basename” – a well written plugin will still function even … Read more

In your callback, see if the theme provided a template for the post type, if it did, do nothing. <?php … Read more
You can execute arbitrary SQL statements with wpdb::query(), including Data Definition Statements, e.g. function create_index () { global $wpdb ; $sql = “CREATE INDEX my_index ON {$wpdb->prefix}my_table (my_column)” ; $wpdb->query ($sql) ; return ; } Note: Because $wpdb->query() can execute arbitrary SQL, if the statement you pass to it contains ANY user input, then you … Read more
No, it is not possible to create third level menu in admin panel. If you look at the definition of add_submenu_page, you need to mention the parent slug name. For eg: add_menu_page ( ‘Test Menu’, ‘Test Menu’, ‘read’, ‘testmainmenu’, ”, ” ); add_submenu_page ( ‘testmainmenu’, ‘Test Menu’, ‘Child1’, ‘read’, ‘child1’, ”); The first parameter of … Read more
We start by adding the custom TinyMCE Button: function add_mce_button_custom_em() { // check user permissions if ( !current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ ) && !current_user_can( ‘edit_pages’ ) ) { return; } // check if WYSIWYG is enabled if ( ‘true’ == get_user_option( ‘rich_editing’ ) ) { add_filter( ‘mce_external_plugins’, ‘add_tinymce_plugin_custom_em’ ); add_filter( ‘mce_buttons’, ‘register_mce_button_custom_em’ ); } } add_action(‘admin_head’, ‘add_mce_button_custom_em’); … Read more
