Can a theme or plugin go and fetch another plugin and install it? For themes, it’s rather straighforward. See https://github.com/thomasgriffin/TGM-Plugin-Activation For plugins, it’s trickier, since you can’t bundle the same boilerplate code in more than one plugin. See http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-dependencies/
If you’re building a custom theme, I’d recommend creating custom page templates – one each for an About and a Contact page. This gives your end users some flexibility. They can define their own page and select your template – so “About” could be used for “About,” “About Me,” “Our Story,” etc. No need to … Read more
Line 49: $data = file_get_contents ( ‘http://example.com’); Don’t use file_get_contents to download web page. WordPress has HTTP API for such needs. In your case, I would suggest you to use wp_remote_get( ‘http://example.com’ ); function instead of file_get_contents. Further reading: WordPress HTTP API wp_remote_get function.
I did something similar on my site a while back. I’m sure you can tweak it to fit your needs. Under each article I have an author box with social media icons that link to their accounts. In content-single.php <?php if ( get_the_author_meta(‘twitter’) ) : ?> <a href=”http://www.twitter.com/<?php the_author_meta(‘twitter’); ?>” title=”Twitter”><img src=”<?php bloginfo( ‘url’ ) … Read more
Your parent theme is probably broken. I guess it is using code like this: require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/admin/options-framework.php’; So it will search in the child theme for files that are present in the parent theme only. It should use get_template_directory() instead.
You need to first collect the menu locations, then set the primary menu location with the menu id. // Set the menu to primary menu location $locations = get_theme_mod( ‘nav_menu_locations’ ); $locations[‘primary’] = $primary_nav_menu_id; set_theme_mod ( ‘nav_menu_locations’, $locations ); Here I assume ‘primary’ is theme location referring to ‘Primary Navigation’.
This can be really tricky, but this should shed some light on this topic. Before you start, CREATE A BACK-UP OF BOTH THEMES Why are child themes created? The number one answer is for customization of a parent theme. So this should be your starting point when combining a parent and child theme. It should … Read more
This is how i set my content directory in wp-config.php // ======================== // Custom Content Directory // ======================== define( ‘WP_CONTENT_DIR’, dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/somedir’ ); define( ‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . ‘/somedir’ );
I think that you have added bguru_options option before. If bguru_options already exists, add_option() does nothing. To modify the value of existing options you should use update_option() instead. EDIT I confirm what I thought. You are running add_option(‘bguru_options’, $default_options); in every admin_init. bguru_options option was added to database in the first run and subsequent calls … Read more
Your question isn’t terribly clear, because, yes it is possible to change post data programmatically, and you’re on the right track using wp_update_post, but I’m unsure of what the code in your theme’s index.php file is trying to achieve. My assumption is that you want to be able to change the post title from your … Read more
