Allow Contributor to edit published post and filter by page id

You can use user_has_cap filter to check and grant capabilities dynamically. add_filter(‘user_has_cap’, ‘contributor_can_edit_published_posts’, 10, 4); function contributor_can_edit_published_posts($allcaps, $caps, $args, $user) { global $post; // Do we have a post? if ( ! $post ) { return $allcaps; } // Is the user a contributor? if ( ! isset( $allcaps[‘contributor’] ) || true !== $allcaps[‘contributor’] ) … Read more

You could always use the has_excerpt() function to test for excerpt content and if it is not filled in you could display a message. Example: if( has_excerpt() ) { the_excerpt(); } else { echo ‘<p>Please enter the excerpt.</p>’; }

publish_post action hook not working

If you did this instead… function the_fat_lady_sings() { wp_die(“this plugin is a far harder than i imageined”); } add_action(‘publish_post’,’the_fat_lady_sings’) I think you will see that it does work.

Make the Status, Visibility, or Date fields opened by default in the Publish box

This jQuery code seems to work, when added via the admin_footer hook. #submitdiv = the whole Publish metabox .misc-pub-section = each UI section (except the Publish and Save sections) .hide-if-js = the fields that are hidden by default $(‘#submitdiv .misc-pub-section’) .has(“#post-status-display, #timestamp”) .find(‘.hide-if-js’) .toggle(); That will unhide the Status dropdown and the Date picker.

Update post meta on bulk edit / update

With this method you only run the task once and you don’t need further coding. Using plugin activation/deactivation: register_activation_hook( __FILE__, ‘cyb_activation_function’ ); function cyb_activation_function() { $author = get_role( ‘author’ ); … Read more

Trigger email send after custom post publish

When hooking on to save_post you need to check that it’s not a revision & is not WP autosaving the data.. You’ll need this code before you send the email so it returns if it’s autosaving or is a post revision. if ( defined(‘DOING_AUTOSAVE’) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) { return; } if ( wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) … Read more
