Ideally, SEO should always be handled by the theme. Actually, most plug-in behavior that impacts the front-end of a site should be handled by the theme. Plug-ins like All in One SEO are quick solutions for people who don’t want to invest the time required to re-code a theme they built, downloaded from a free … Read more
There is not much to it, really. During the loading of WordPress engine wp-settings.php file is processed. Among other things this files calls wp_get_active_and_valid_plugins() function, that gets list of activated (through admin interface) plugins from active_plugins option (stored in database). For each active plugin its main file (the one holding plugin header) is included and … Read more

However what you determine as “harmless” is case dependent because the opposite could … Read more
Copied from StackOverflow: WP_Query offers a date_query parameter, allowing you to set a range with before and after. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#date-parameters $args = array( ‘date_query’ => array( array( ‘after’ => ‘January 1st, 2015’, ‘before’ => ‘December 31st, 2015’, ‘inclusive’ => true, ), ), ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); See the linked documentation for more details. … Read more

The nickname exists to give you an option to set display name to something other than your … Read more
Your site has likely been hacked. My site had the Darkleech infection, which injected some malicious code into wp-includes/nav-menu.php, causing .htaccess to reset to 444 on any page load. I’d recommend you install the Sucuri plugin and let it restore any files that have been corrupted. Assuming your site was hacked, use their Post-Hack tab … Read more
Due to a backwards-incompatible change in version 5.2, you can no longer retrieve the form’s meta data using get_posted_data(). Instead, you can use the id value in the array returned by get_current(): $contact_form = WPCF7_ContactForm::get_current(); $contact_form_id = $contact_form -> id;
Use the constant BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE. And to get the database table prefix, use; $main_blog_prefix = $wpdb->get_blog_prefix(BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE);
While I appreciate the idea, isn’t this just replacing one plugin with another? Rarst’s link already has the answer — it just needs to be reworked a bit to check for the plugin periodically, like so: function goodbye_dolly() { if (file_exists(WP_PLUGIN_DIR.’/hello.php’)) { require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-admin/includes/plugin.php’); require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-admin/includes/file.php’); delete_plugins(array(‘hello.php’)); } } add_action(‘admin_init’,’goodbye_dolly’); Slap that into your functions.php file (in … Read more

In order to get the section and all the fields you’ve added to it to display on a certain menu page, you need to include the do_settings_sections($sections-slug) method in the menu’s callback. This is, of course, assuming you are using the … Read more
