I’m not sure if this question is still relevant or not (so I’m posting for future reference for people), but there is a way to define a css file for the TinyMCE editor in your plugin by using the mce_css filter. For a quick example, I’ll take an excerpt from the WordPress documentation: function plugin_mce_css( … Read more
To answer the first part of your question: your settings form already has the checkbox case covered; so if you add a new checkbox input, you don’t need to add anything to the switch. This code will apply to all checkbox inputs you add: case ‘checkbox’: ?> <input type=”checkbox” name=”vertigo_theme_options[<?php echo esc_attr( $option[‘id’] ); ?>]” … Read more
Contrary to what you have been looking at, esc_html does not strip all the HTML, it escapes it, meaning it encodes it into safe HTML entities that do not break HTML tags. wp_filter_nohtml_kses strips all the HTML. When in doubt always consult the source code. It is accessible online. esc_attr is short and sweet, uses … Read more
Pages are generally speaking rather inflexible, you would be better off using a custom post type. Also hooking into the actual page template dropdown would very likely be problematic (I doubt it would work without some serious hacking around). You’re better off just writing your own meta box dropdown. I think your on the the … Read more
WordPress will only search one level deep (*See below for details) from the root directory of the theme for page (and post) templates. However, the array of templates can be filtered using the theme_{$post_type}_templates filter, so you can add deeply nested templates on your own: // See WP_Theme::get_page_templates /** * Filters list of page templates … Read more
I have gone through the implementation of all Gutenberg core blocks in start, so now if I have to know how to use something then I first find the closest core component which is implementing that and then looks at the documentation of that particular block via https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/master/packages/block-library/src This process is solving problems for me … Read more
There’s no default way to do that yet, though there is a Trac ticket. I found this (untested) that may work for you: http://www.devblog.fr/2011/05/16/plusieurs-fonds-personnalises-wordpress-add_custom_background/ It’s also worth noting the 3.4’s new way of defining a default background (still just one, though). Edit Here’s the code: <?php function wpse48332_setup_theme() { // Add support for custom backgrounds … Read more
As I was getting at in comment: get_stylesheet_directory() produces local filesystem path get_stylesheet_directory_uri() produces URL Just use latter. 🙂
If you are comfortable with a source control system such as git – one approach I have used successfully is to create a ‘lowest common denominator’ theme with all the standard functionality shared between the sites and nondescript styling (black and white, standard reset and typography styles etc). Then to do a new site, branch … Read more
force_balance_tags() is not a really safe function. It doesn’t use an HTML parser but a bunch of potentially expensive regular expressions. You should use it only if you control the length of the excerpt too. Otherwise you could run into memory issues or some obscure bugs. The other problem is: the function uses two hard-coded … Read more
