There is a sad truth: you can never ever be sure that some code will not break your code, and there is nothing you can do to prevent that. Especially in WordPress, where everything is global. That said, yes, global $post is one of the most used global var, so using special care for it … Read more
Actually I want to assign ID’s as per post index ! Here’s your code that I modified. <?php global $wp_query; $posts = $woo_options[‘woo_latest_entries’]; query_posts(‘post_type=post&category_name=company’); if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $count++; $index = $wp_query->current_post + 1; ?> <div id=”my_post_<?php echo $index; ?>”> <!– Post Content Goes Here –> </div> <?php … Read more
When your going through your loop add this: global $post; $post = get_post( $ID, OBJECT ); setup_postdata( $post ); //Do something wp_reset_postdata();
The reason this doesn’t work is because there is a redirection happening after the save_post action. One way you can acheive want you want is by implementing a quick work around using query vars. Here is a sample class to demonstrate: class My_Awesome_Plugin { public function __construct(){ add_action( ‘save_post’, array( $this, ‘save_post’ ) ); add_action( … Read more
You can use the wp hook and check the global $wp_query object or any conditional. add_action( ‘wp’, ‘wpse69369_special_thingy’ ); function wpse69369_special_thingy() { if ( ‘special_cpt’ === get_post_type() AND is_singular() ) return print “Yo World!”; return printf( ‘<p>Nothing to see here! Check the object!<br /></p><pre>%s</pre>’, var_export( $GLOBALS[‘wp_query’], true ) ); } See: wp in codex.wordpress.org and … Read more
Both answers so far are correct but a more thorough answer seems warranted. If you use this: $content = wpautop( $post->post_content ); you’re applying the one function that adds paragraph tags to post content. wpautop() is one of many functions (including plugin functions at times) that hooks onto the_content, so if you do this: $content … Read more
is_home() checks for the “Posts Page”, despite the somewhat confusing function name.
If you read the documentation for wp_insert_post, it returns the post ID of the post you just created. If you combine that with the following function __update_post_meta (a custom function I acquired from this site and adapted a bit) /** * Updates post meta for a post. It also automatically deletes or adds the value … Read more
The answer by shea is not ideal as in many cases: You don’t want to strip everything from <br>, <p> etc. You want it as a default behavior for your WP visual composer which the above code will delete In many cases it is considered as “hacking the core” as this is changing the default … Read more
Hi @Robin I. Knight: I view get_the_excerpt() as a function with legacy design. As WordPress usage has grown there are many newer use-cases where it doesn’t fit but where the newer functions for getting different data do. One example is the now frequent use of an $args array of function options. But it’s easy to … Read more
