if it’s the same database, you can write the query easily using the global $wpdb variable. If it’s a separate database, create another instance of wordpress wpdb class & write the queries to it $wpdb2 = new wpdb( $user, $pass, $db, $host ); In any case, you’ll need to know the database tables prefix UPDATE … Read more
To set the title before it is saved, hook into wp_insert_post_data: add_filter( ‘wp_insert_post_data’, ‘wpse_75597_change_title’ ); function wpse_75597_change_title( $post_data ) { $post_data[‘post_title’] = ‘SOMETHING VERY LOUD’; return $post_data; }
You need to wrap the nonce with quotes and instead of the_permalink() and the_title() use get_permalink() and get_the_title() so like this: <?php $args = array(‘posts_per_page’ => 1); $sidebar = new WP_Query($args); if ( $sidebar->have_posts() ) : while ( $sidebar->have_posts() ) : $sidebar->the_post(); ?> <div class=”story”> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/76921/<?php the_permalink(); ?>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a> </div> … Read more
A very simple solution: Add a second editor field to the post editor, and use the meta field content in a filter on the_content. add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpse_77811_extra_content’ ); function wpse_77811_extra_content( $content ) { return $content . get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_t5_extra_box’, TRUE ); }
Try filtering with wp_insert_post_data instead. It’s from wp-includes/post.php, line 2864. add_filter( ‘wp_insert_post_data’, ‘post_publish_filter_wpse_82356’ ); function post_publish_filter_wpse_82356( $data ) { // view/manipulate $data if (‘publish’ == $data[‘post_status’]) { $msg = ‘<pre>’ . var_export($data, true) . ‘</pre>’; wp_die($msg); } return $data; } publish is the post_status when you click the Publish or Update button. The four statuses … Read more
I don’t think its polite to send email to all users who Favorited your post. Because some people favorite your post to bookmark it. So don’t combine favorite with follow. So here is my suggestion: For bookmarking, use WP favorite posts plugin. As for the follow there is no plugin exists for normal wordpress installation. … Read more
You can do something like this with the hook pre_post_update : function wpse_108013_mandatory_featured_image() { if(!has_post_thumbnail()) { // here you check if there’s a featured image wp_die( ‘Featured image must always be set !’ ); // there is no featured image } } add_action( ‘pre_post_update’, ‘wpse_108013_mandatory_featured_image’ );
I would begin with establishing the most friendly approach to this. I think it would be a warning after post Publish/Update button is clicked. It is possible to prevent the Edit Post screen loading if the user re-visits it within 2 minutes after the previous post is published. I don’t think that is practical though … Read more
You want to select the option Custom Structure, not Post name, and insert /%category%/%postname%/ there. The Category base under Optional is the base for Category Archives, not single posts.
I kind of feel like I’m missing something obvious, but maybe I’m not. What about the admin_notices hook, seems like the obvious choice to me. There are some admin CSS classes available you can use, like updated, error or update-nag, or you can of course add your own styles, like asked and answered here or … Read more
