Undefined variable error in theme option after updating theme [closed]

@pzstar it is a good approach to check if your variables are assigned a value or not. If a variable or an index in an array is not declared/assigned then you’d probably get such error. I would suggest you to use isset(). <input id=”welcome_post_char” type=”text” name=”abc_options[welcome_post_char]” value=”<?php echo (isset($settings[‘welcome_post_char’]))? esc_attr($settings[‘welcome_post_char’],’abc’): ”}; ?>”>

Get markup for post without loading into the template

I couldn’t figure out a WordPress way to do this and looking at the WP source, it looks like this probably will never really be possible. However, I was able to get a solution using vanilla PHP by redirecting standard output into a buffer and loading the buffer into a variable. $listings = new WP_Query(…); … Read more

Reproducing this in general at the front side will be fragile and nightmare. Simply put creating custom curated interfaces has little to do … Read more

Change the background of each post according to the category

I do not know this theme. But you must use this two functions somewhere: get_theme_mod (‘background_image’, $default); set_theme_mod (‘background_image’, $_category_image_absolute_path); Maybe, you can define new modification names with this functions. For example, ‘backgroud_image_entertainment’, ‘background_image_storysode’, etc. (as is shown in the referred web page) by using set_theme_mod. set_theme_mod (‘backround_image_entertainment’, $_category_image_absolute_path); Then, you should add some functions … Read more

current_user_can(‘manage_options’) causes white screen of death?

Setting display_errors to 1 has let me determine that for some reason wp-includes/pluggable.php was not included while running the plugin, so wp_get_current_user() function was missing. Although I didn’t find the reason of malfunction, thanks to answer to this question I hardcoded plugin by setting following at the beginning: if(!function_exists(‘wp_get_current_user’)) { include(ABSPATH . “wp-includes/pluggable.php”); } Now … Read more
