As @shanebp suggested you in a comment to OP, that is one of the hook fired by the function wp_transition_post_status, it’s a bit hard to find it doing a search in code because is a dynamic hook, in facts the line in code that fires it looks like: do_action( “{$new_status}_{$post->post_type}”, $post->ID, $post ); Where $new_status … Read more
The role you are describing is “Contributor”. So the option would be to use this role unless you still want to edit Author capabilities which would be done as follows: function disable_authors_publish_cap() { // Get author role object $author = get_role( ‘author’ ); // Remove the post publishing capability $author->remove_cap( ‘publish_posts’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, … Read more
I think that by adding a delay you’re not really fixing the issue, you’re simply hiding it, until you grow and add more media and servers, so lsyncd will take longer, and you’ll have to increase your delay every time. Also what about updating existing posts? People might add media items and update, or add … Read more
Possible causes – 1) The template which is being applied for this page is having 0 (static or some evaluated result) as prefix to the post content. 2) It’s being added via filtering done by any piece of code in the theme or any plugin through the hook the_content. 3) If the result of each … Read more
Was able to figure out that the meta value was being stored as a string, which doesn’t play nice with the meta query. So what I had to do was do a like comparison with the serialized string version of my meta value. The meta query ended up like this $args = array ( ‘meta_query’ … Read more
It’s recommended to use the latest version of WordPress. As far as I understand this should have been fixed, for drafts, many years ago, see e.g. ticket #8978 I quickly tested this on a vanilla install version 4.6.1 and a draft seems to be published at the current date-time. There are hooks that can be … Read more
I did a bit more research and this is what is working for me now. The admin will only get an update if a pending post is added or updated. add_action( ‘transition_post_status’, ‘pending_post_status’, 10, 3 ); function pending_post_status( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) { if ( $new_status === “pending” ) { $post_title = get_the_title( $post_id ); … Read more
We can do this by storing the value into postmeta when post is published first time. function save_ispublished( $post_id ) { if (defined(‘DOING_AUTOSAVE’) && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return; $published_once = get_post_meta( $post_id, ‘is_published’, true ); // Check if ‘is_published’ meta value is empty. if ( ! empty( $published_once ) ) { $published_once=”yes”; } // store is_published value … Read more
You need to add parameters $old_status and $new_status to the function. function conditional_email( $old_status, $new_status) { wp_mail(‘[email protected]’,’test’,’test’); } You will see that in the example here Hope it works after !
This is one of those things I tend to call “ritualistic”. Search engines will never explicitly tell you either that pinging does anything or nothing at all. It’s there for them to use or do nothing at all about. From my experience semi–active WP site with basic decent SEO setup (such as sitemaps) would be … Read more
