First, as @Toscho implies, the get_header() and get_footer() template tags simply include files named header.php and footer.php, respectively. Both template tags are called from within template files, and you can separate content between template file (index.php) and template part file (header.php, footer.php) any way you want. So, WordPress certainly can accommodate your latter example. That … Read more
Follow up on @jmarceli’s and @squarecandy’s great answers. Here is a solution that allows for: Easier scaling (set an object in the php action) Updates to the correct menu depth when the location checkboxes are changed /** * Limit max menu depth in admin panel */ function limit_admin_menu_depth($hook) { if ($hook != ‘nav-menus.php’) return; wp_register_script(‘limit-admin-menu-depth’, … Read more
What you need is get_stylesheet_directory_uri, which works exactly the same like get_template_directory_uri but it will return the child theme directory if you are using a child theme, and it will return the parent theme directory if not. echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();
Read the stylesheet. A child stylesheet must have Template: somethemename to function as a child theme. Look in Appearance -> Themes. A child theme should have a notice about requiring a parent theme. Use code similar to this (note: debugging only): add_action( ‘wp_head’, function () { if (get_template_directory() === get_stylesheet_directory()) { echo ‘not a child’; … Read more
Best place is the uploads directory – it’ll be writable by the server, and it’s the defacto directory for storing any user-generated/uploaded files: $dirs = wp_upload_dir(); $path = $dirs[‘basedir’]; // /path/to/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
It’s incredibly bad, and a major security hole, you’re going to have to face these issues: Your endpoint will always work, even if your plugin is deactivated, or you switch themes Your endpoint will be active on all sites on a multisite install, not just those you intended it for, which can lead the endpoint … Read more
No, you don’t need output buffering in this case. As a rule of thumb: Don’t use output buffering unless you really have to. Just imagine what happens if someone else uses output buffering too from a plugin and it crosses with yours: // plugin ob_start(); // later, you in your theme ob_start(); // you call … Read more
I added this to my style.css and now the video player is fully responsive! .wp-video, video.wp-video-shortcode, .mejs-container, .mejs-overlay.load { width: 100% !important; height: 100% !important; } .mejs-container { padding-top: 56.25%; } .wp-video, video.wp-video-shortcode { max-width: 100% !important; } video.wp-video-shortcode { position: relative; } .mejs-mediaelement { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; … Read more
Child Themes are useful for users who mainly want to make style changes to their Theme, but don’t want – or know how – to maintain the underlying code. Grokking PHP/WordPress Theme Development is an entirely different thing than grokking CSS. Child Themes are also useful for users who want to implement minor functional changes … Read more
Sounds to me like you are making it more complicated than it needs to be. You already have the author/user as the client – no need to create another concept to represent that. Requirements: wp network where each subsite has many users (clients) Each client wants to have a single page which they can edit … Read more
