You’re best bet is to put the amazon javascript script code into a widget, and then add the widget into a post/page using a shortcode. Give a look at this plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/ (I’ve never used it, but the concept seems correct.)
I’ve checked and WordPress does, by default, retrieve & cache all post meta along with the main query’s posts, so you’re perfectly fine storing a product’s additional fields as standard post meta. You might want to store Brands (merchants? manufacturers?) as a custom taxonomy so that you can take advantage of built-in templates and queries … Read more
First plugins are loaded, then templates. Media is not loaded until called (afaik) from either a plugin or theme. Widgets, enqueued scripts and CSS can be called from both plugins and templates so it depends where they are defined.
Add a filter to pre_do_shortcode_tag and check if $tag is the same as your shortcode tag. If it is, enqueue a script in the footer. add_filter( ‘pre_do_shortcode_tag’, function( $a, $tag, $attr, $m ) { if( ‘my_shortcode_tag’ === $tag ) { wp_enqueue_script( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $in_footer = true ); } return $a; }, 10, 4 … Read more
I have just sussed out the answer. I was missing the mediaUploader.open(); entry. I have amended my original code, accordingly, just in case anyone is having the same issue.
There is no risk in creating new table in WP Database. Infact many well known and giant plugins, like Woocomerce do this. You can also opt for creating new database but creating new table is not at all risky… Hope I am clear enough…
You should maybe consider if you are approaching the exercise the “wrong way around” 🙂 Kudos to you for thinking about backups, but I urge you to consider that if you had the site under version control, you could track every change that was made, have it automatically deployed to a staging server, and manually … Read more
Look into wp_register_script() and wp_enqueue_script(). You may be able to get by with only the latter. Pay special attention for your case of wanting it before the closing </body> that you can specify in_footer as a parameter. wp_enqueue_script( $handle, //(string) name of script $src=””, // uri to script $deps = array(), //handles of other scripts … Read more
You could run a couple checks and enqueue jquery if it’s not registered or enqueued using wp_script_is function bootstrap_script_init() { // Check to see if jQuery is registered, if not, register it. // You can use the local version of WP’s jQuery if you want instead of Google’s API. if ( !wp_script_is( ‘jquery’, ‘registered’ ) … Read more
Your second wp_enqueue_script() contains the same handle (the same ID) as the first wp_enqueue_script(). The handle is the ID by which a registered script is known to WordPress internally. If you use this ID a second time, the second script won’t be registered. A working example could be this one: <?php add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles_and_scripts’ ); … Read more
