That’s pretty advanced and it doesn’t sound like you are all that comfortable with WP yet, no offense. You can definitely do this with WP Alchemy (I have and do), but you really have to get down and dirty with some Javascript to 1. launch the media uploader and 2. to hijack the send to … Read more
I believe your issue is that the value set for the global $content_width variable (which is 640px in Boilerplate and 584px in Twenty Eleven) is less than the width you’re specifying via Settings -> Media. WordPress is overriding your user setting with the Theme-specific value. This actually makes sense, since a Theme knows its maximum … Read more
In your theme’s functions.php file: /* register new image size * 200px wide and unlimited height */ add_image_size( ‘wpse73058’, 200, 9999, false ); In a template or the like: if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail( ‘wpse73058’ ); }
You can work on the idea that Joost provided and use the upload_dir filter to temporarily set the upload path to somewhere else. /** * Override the default upload path. * * @param array $dir * @return array */ function wpse_141088_upload_dir( $dir ) { return array( ‘path’ => $dir[‘basedir’] . ‘/mycustomdir’, ‘url’ => $dir[‘baseurl’] . … Read more
I’ve had the same problem, and in my case it was the WordPress cronjob. I was calling the wp-cron.php as a root cron job, and this script also generates the monthly upload folder. If you call wp-cron.php via cronjob you need to do this as the web server user (or i.e. in Plesk the site … Read more
wp_read_audio_metadata() is not deprecated. It’s located in /wp-admin/includes/media.php, which is not loaded on the front end, hence the error your’re getting. You are using the function correctly. You can make wp_read_audio_metadata() available by including wp-admin/includes/media.php before calling the function, e.g.: require_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/media.php’ ); $audio_file_path = get_attached_file( 1821 ); // example attachment ID var_dump( … Read more

This function will not show media library tab in upload screen function remove_medialibrary_tab($strings) { if ( !current_user_can( ‘administrator’ ) ) { unset($strings[“mediaLibraryTitle”]); return $strings; } else { return $strings; } } add_filter(‘media_view_strings’,’remove_medialibrary_tab’); I found out that switching to media library tab actually call this ajax action query-attachments. So i added another callback function to this … Read more
I decided to approach it differently. Instead of hooking into ‘wp_handle_upload_prefilter’ and tampering with the $file variable I decided to do the resize after the file is uploaded and after I get the attachment id like this: public function resize_attachment($attachment_id, $width, $height) { // Get file path $file = get_attached_file($attachment_id); // Get editor, resize and … Read more
