I prefer hooks, since they are more flexible: you can hook into them from your theme’s functions.php file, but also from plugins. I try to put as much logic in plugins, so that the themes contain mostly layout stuff. If you use an action hook, it is still possible to use get_template_part() in that hook … Read more
Indeed, wp_localize_script() is simple, it just adds quotes around the values and escapes the content, expecting all of them to be strings. However, there is the l10n_print_after key of the array, which will be printed without any interference at all. It can be used to execute arbitrary code after the strings are passed. You can … Read more
index.php is universal template, it is what any page (home, archive, single post, etc) will use if no other template is available for it. home.php is a template used for main page (on is_home()) condition. See Template Hierarchy for detailed scheme of how templates are applied.
First rule of thumb: do not deregister core-bundled scripts and replace with other versions, unless you are absolutely certain that no Theme, Plugins, or core itself will break due to the version change. Really, unless you absolutely need an alternate version of a core-bundled script, just use what is bundled with core. Second, I strongly … Read more
To have the theme listed: style.css With at minimum this: /* Theme Name: Minimum Theme Description: Test Author: Test Version: 1.0 */ For the theme to be functional: index.php index.php must have a post loop, so this would be the bare minimum functional index.php <html> <head><?php wp_head(); ?></head> <body> <?php if ( have_posts() ) { … Read more
Late to the party but this will do the trick: $wp_customize->remove_control(‘blogdescription’); You want to remove just that control, not entire section as suggested above.
Try deregistering that stylesheet – add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘my_deregister_styles’, 100 ); function my_deregister_styles() { //wp_deregister_style( ‘amethyst-dashicons-style’ ); wp_deregister_style( ‘dashicons’ ); }
I think some of your questions are too wide. You still cannot break down each answer in hours. Some of the questions I ask: Are there widgets? Which? Which theme options are needed? Details? Colors, text fields, image uploads etc. Custom post types and taxonomies? Very, very detailed. How are the comments displayed? This one … Read more
You can also hook into the core update routine. (I’m looking for tutorial links, but my Google-fu is failing me this morning.) EDIT: See if this tutorial helps. It explains how to implement automatic upgrades for private/commercial (i.e. non-repository-hosted) Plugins.
If you know the menu’s slug, then things are easier, otherwise you can use this function to get the menu at a specified location. <?php function wpse45700_get_menu_by_location( $location ) { if( empty($location) ) return false; $locations = get_nav_menu_locations(); if( ! isset( $locations[$location] ) ) return false; $menu_obj = get_term( $locations[$location], ‘nav_menu’ ); return $menu_obj; } … Read more
