Strategy for handling hierarchical pages with empty parent content

I am using two strategies here… 1) is simple redirection to first child (using menu order) page-redirect.php <?php /* * Template Name: Redirector * Description: Empty Holder (redirect page) */ $rp = new WP_Query(array( ‘post_parent’ => get_the_id(), ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ‘order’ => ‘asc’, ‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’ )); if ($rp->have_posts()) while ( $rp->have_posts() ) { $rp->the_post(); … Read more

How to add multiple custom URL variables?

I pretty sure this filter lets you add an array of variables. I’ve not tested this: function add_custom_query_vars( $vars ){ $vars[] = “variable1”; $vars[] = “variable2”; $vars[] = “variable3”; //… etc return $vars; } add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘add_custom_query_vars’ ); Or another way of doing it would be to do this: function add_custom_query_vars( $vars ){ array_push($vars, “variable1”, … Read more

paginate_links ignore my format

This part: ‘base’ => str_replace( 999999999, ‘%#%’, esc_url( get_pagenum_link( 999999999 ) ) ), is generating a page part like this one: ‘base’ => http://example.tld/page/%#%/ If we peek into paginate_links() we see the default: ‘base’ => $pagenum_link, // http://example.com/all_posts.php%_% : // %_% is replaced by format (below) ‘format’ => $format, // ?page=%#% : %#% is replaced … Read more

How to prevent apostrophes and quotes from appearing in permalinks?

In WordPress, “—” and ” — ” become em-dashes (— &#8212;) and “–” becomes an en-dash (— #8212;). The sanitize_title_with_dashes() function doesn’t catch these.

Add menu and submenu in admin with a URL instead of slug?

This is an old post but can’t you just use wordpress $menu and/or $submenu globals like Oleg suggested in number 2. When in doubt copy WordPress: wordpress/wp-admin/menu.php For example to add link this seems like it would work: function add_external_link_admin_submenu() { global $submenu; $permalink = admin_url( ‘edit-tags.php’ ).’?taxonomy=category’; $submenu[‘options-general.php’][] = array( ‘Manage’, ‘manage_options’, $permalink ); … Read more

How to convert the file path to a URL of the same file?

Plugins If you’re in a plugin, you can use plugins_url. <?php $url = plugins_url(‘css/admin.css’, __FILE__); The above will give you the path relative to the file passed into the second argument.
