See WP Codex: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/post-types/registering-custom-post-types/ Create or modify a post type. register_post_type should only be invoked through the ‘init’ action.

The get_post_meta() function can help to get the meta field but will not retrieve different size. Assuming _pf_photo1 embed the attachment id, you can do something like that: // Note the “_id” suffix $attachment_id = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_pf_photo1_id’, true); Last parameter for this function can not be ‘medium’, Now,you can use $attachment_id with different function depending … Read more
There is a subtle difference between action hooks and filters. The most notable one is that filter functions are expected to receive a value and pass it along in return when done with their work. Inside the function the value can be modified or be used for something else. In your case the_content is a … Read more
The only issue was that the capability was specified incorrectly when using add_options_page(). The capability should be manage_options. Note the underscore, no space: function basic_treehouse_badges_menu() { /* * Use the add_options_page function * add_options_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu-slug, $function ) * */ add_options_page( ‘Official Tree House Badges Plugin’, ‘Treehouse Badges’, ‘manage_options’, ‘wp-treehouse-badges’, ‘wptreehouse_badges_option_page’ ); } … Read more
Why it doesn’t work for a Plugin: It doesn’t work for plugin because by the time WordPress executes $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); in a plugin, the function wp_get_current_user() isn’t defined yet. WordPress loads that plugin file before it defines those user related functions. However, it works for theme because WordPress loads theme after it defines and … Read more
I assume you are looking for a conditional to check if you are on a post page. You can do so by using is_single(): if (is_single()) { // Update your post views here } If you insist on using filters or hooks, you can use the_content filter: add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘update_post_views’ ); function update_post_views($content){ if (is_single()) … Read more
You need to use WP Background Processing which fire off non-blocking asynchronous requests. WooCommerce also use this for background processing. Check the file /includes/libraries/wp-background-process.php
Ah! The classic issue anyone that’s cared about their users’ experience has come to face. As per my experience, wp.media is the way to go. This is not my code, but it gets the job done. I’ve used it plenty. I’ll explain what it does, piece by piece: // Source: https://vedmant.com/using-wordpress-media-library-in-widgets-options/ jQuery(document).ready(function ($) { $(document).on(“click”, … Read more
No, WordPress has no default place in its system where it will look for templates outside the current theme folder. That said, you can easily build a plugin that inserts a template into the system. You can use the theme_page_templates to insert a template name in the dropdown list. Then you hook into template_include and … Read more
If the plugin indeed runs plugin_1_action as soon as it’s loaded, meaning that the do_action() call is just sitting in the plugin file and not inside a function that’s hooked later, then yes, you’re correct: you won’t be able to hook into it if your plugin is loaded later. This is almost never how plugins … Read more
