Something along these lines should work, not tested for syntax errors though function random_post() { $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ); $post = query_posts( $args ); } if(!$post->post_excerpt){ random_post(); } // Then down here you would do whatever with the $post object
Everything depends on how you build your frontend. The most important tip is, that you make sure, that bots can crawl and get access to all of your JS, CSS etc. files. As I understand, basically with REST API you build your DOM and your actual content is not in the source code. So just … Read more
Writing a custom endpoint is not hard at all. Your code goes to your theme’s functions.php file, or a plugin. After you register a REST route, you can access it via this URL: www.example.com/wp-json/myplugin/v1/foo Also I assume you are missing \ in your callback function’s parameters, as it should be \WP_REST_Request $request.
The true reason of not using nonces for non logged in users, is that it adds a pointless burden on their usage as they need to refresh the page when the nonce expire, and the only way they will know that they need to do it is when something do not work. There is probably … Read more
No it shouldn’t. The first parameter is called namespace. It’s like the scope for your functions such as this: function my_function(){ $data = 0; } You can only use $data inside that function. Same goes with the REST endpoints. The path /test/ will be available only under its specific namespace. You should choose a unique … Read more
Why I Don’t Have Access to Post’s Information? When you are using Admin-AJAX or the REST API, you will only have access to the current user’s data (by that I mean by default, such as using is_user_logged_in()). To retrieve any other information, you have to pass it as an argument in your AJAX request. WordPress … Read more
I looked around again with a more relaxed mind and figured out that the_posts is the action hook I was looking for. This is how I just did it: add_action( ‘the_post’, function ( $post ) { $count = (int) get_field(‘views’); $count++; update_field(‘views’, $count); } ); Now I’ll just figure out how to sort it by … Read more
I’m not a WP API expert. It sounds like you want to store more information than the API supports, so you will need to add an endpoint – https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/adding-custom-endpoints/ If you are doing payment processing, I assume you are using a service or plugin + service for that, so you may want your custom endpoints … Read more
I think you are looking for WP_REST_Response.
You should have a nonce provided by your WP instance, and of course, being authenticated previously (through cookies, set by the wp-login normal process, a JWT, or even Basic authentication). This is because some requests are not approved if they come without the nonce, in order to prevent abuse. So, you could pass to your … Read more
