For historical bloggy reasons, the_date in WordPress won’t show the same date twice in a row. This is for grouping purposes. The fix is easy: Use the_time instead. It behaves exactly the same as the_date, but without the internal historical logic. Also no need to rewrite any complicated code, just change three characters. 🙂 Note: … Read more
May be something is wrong on your page template file. Have your added page template name at top of the page like this: <?php /* Template Name: My Custom Page */ Try with this and check once again. You can check WordPress document for creating custom page template. Check this link: Page Templates
The first problem is that your parentheses are incorrect in your IF statement. if ( ( $get_post_categories = get_transient( ‘this_blog_categories’ ) === FALSE ) ) Should be: if ( ( $get_post_categories = get_transient( ‘this_blog_categories’ ) ) === false ) You’re wanting to assign the value, and then test that value against false. Because of your … Read more
TL;DR: The only “unit” tests most themes will need are these. There is actually a very good reason that most material is on plugin unit testing. Themes really aren’t good candidates for unit testing. A theme is usually mostly concerned with how your site is displayed, and that is something that you can’t really unit … Read more
Using after_switch_theme will activate the theme (which is fine as we want to run the check within the context of the new theme). So if the check fails, we can simply switch back to the previous theme (passed via after_switch_theme as $oldtheme). If WPML is missing ($wpml_is_missing = true;) we will output an admin notice … Read more
You could hook the page_template filter and check if the current page has a _wp_page_template meta key. If it does, you can check if file_exists in the new templates location, then update_post_meta to append the new directory name.
If your theme was developed correctly all of your assets should be stored in: /wp-content/themes/theme-name/ Simply copy your theme folder and drop it into the same location on a new site. From there you can activate it via Appearence -> Themes in your WordPress backend. If you have any plugins you need to copy over … Read more
If you want your main query to take in account your custom post type, you can do as shown below : function add_custom_post_type_to_query( $query ) { if ( $query->is_archive() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array(‘post’, ‘my_custom_post_type’) ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘add_custom_post_type_to_query’ ); You can place the above code in your theme’s functions.php or … Read more
The markup of the wp_nav_menu can be totally customized by using the Walker class. Here’s the code I used: functions.php class Walker_Menu extends Walker { var $db_fields = array( ‘parent’ => ‘menu_item_parent’, ‘id’ => ‘db_id’ ); function start_el( &$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $id = 0 ) { if (is_front_page()) { $output … Read more
Don’t use template_redirect to load alternate templates as you can break any functionality that uses this hook to run on a lower priority than yours. The right hook is template_include. This is according to Mark Jaquith, one of the WP lead developers. https://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/template_redirect-is-not-for-loading-templates/ That said, it might be more appropriate to use the category_template filter … Read more
