Here’s an example; First to figure out the order of the sub menu items based upon its array key you can do a var_dump on the $submenu global variable which will output the following; (I’m using the Posts menu and sub menu as an example) //shortened for brevity…. [“edit.php”]=> array(6) { [5]=> array(3) { [0]=> … Read more
is_plugin_active() is rather fragile: it will break when either the plugin author renames the main file or when the user renames the plugin’s directory or main file. It’s better to check if a certain public function exists. To avoid having to make that check each time you need some of the plugin’s functionality, you could … Read more
Using a class for encapsulation is a very common approach by a number of developers for plugins. I do this, and I do find it cleaner. But for plugins. Themes are more procedural by nature. We don’t do it for default WordPress themes because it raises the barrier to entry. The functions are quite simple. … Read more
There isn’t any such feature directly in wordpress but there is a php library that do allow this kind of behaviour. Can’t comment on how/if it works as I haven’t tried it yet but it looks like it does the job. You might find it useful http://tgmpluginactivation.com/

You have to collect multiple fields under the same name like this … name=”collect[1]” name=”collect[2]” … and adjust your widget logic to this. Here is a very simple demo widget: <?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- /* Plugin Name: Store Options as array */ add_action( ‘widgets_init’, array ( ‘T5_Array_Options_Widget’, ‘register’ ) ); class T5_Array_Options_Widget extends … Read more
Hard to saw without looking at it, but an educated guess: More than likely it is the CSS for the admin bar, which only appears when you are logged in. the <?php wp_head() ?> will include the css for it, and <?php wp_footer(); ?> includes the html for the admin bar. If you look, it … Read more
I would say: you should not use the style.css for the actual production CSS. The reason is simple: minification. You cannot minify the content of the file completely, because WordPress has to read it. In my themes, I use style.css just for the headers, and I add a comment, explaining where to find the real … Read more
It’s because you’re retrieving it via URL, but filemtime() requires a path. Use get_stylesheet_directory() instead. That returns a path: function pro_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/child-style.css’, array(), filemtime(get_stylesheet_directory() .’/child-style.css’), ‘all’ ); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘pro_styles’ );
A lot of plugin developers don’t do things the right way. The right way is to hook on to wp_enqueue_scripts like you’re trying to do. However, here’s the order of the hooks run in a typical request: muplugins_loaded registered_taxonomy registered_post_type plugins_loaded sanitize_comment_cookies setup_theme load_textdomain after_setup_theme auth_cookie_malformed auth_cookie_valid set_current_user init widgets_init register_sidebar wp_register_sidebar_widget wp_default_scripts wp_default_stypes admin_bar_init … Read more
