What is the correct way in WordPress to obtain the current page url? You don’t, WP has never provided a way to do this, the closest is get_permalink which provides the canonical URL of the current post. What you’ve been using is unofficial, and never gave you the actual URL as it only appended the … Read more
When I go to www.riyachting.com, I get redirected to riyachting.com. Some browsers remove the fragment (part after the #) of the URL in this redirect. Chrome keeps the original fragment and the lightbox works. Safari removes it and the lightbox doesn’t work. So either use the final URL in your link, or use something else … Read more
Search RegEx is a good plugin to be able to search and replace with Grep through all posts and pages to fix things like broken URLs. And no need to export the DB and use a text editor; that’s overkill for simply adding the /wordpress.
Just ran that exact code snippet on WP 3.3 to test. In practice, <a href=”#”>test</a> is rendered in the markup correctly, but the browser will attempt to navigate to http://example.com/current-page/# when you hover over the link or click on it. This is the expected behavior of a link like this … so unless you have … Read more
Preventing users from entering URLs manually in the address bar is not possible in WordPress, or from any site, for that matter. It can only be done via a browser plugin. However, redirecting users or displaying a 404 page for a certain URL is easy to do and there are several WordPress plugins for blocking … Read more
You don’t need a separate rule in your .htaccess. Add … define( ‘WP_CONTENT_DIR’, ‘YOUR_LOCAL_PATH’ ); define( ‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, ‘YOUR_PUBLIC_PATH’ ); … to your wp-config.php. Do not write into wp-settings.php. This file will be overwritten during the next update – never touch a core file.
If you go to Settings->Permalinks and change Category Base to topics, you won’t even have to write any code to make the change, as wordpress includes this functionality by default.
You should be using a filter outside of your template for this: add_filter( ‘template_include’, ‘wpa62226_template_include’, 1, 1 ); function wpa62226_template_include( $template ){ if( is_page( ‘some-page’ ) ) : global $wp_query; $wp_query->set_404(); status_header( 404 ); $template = locate_template( ‘404.php’ ); endif; return $template; } Your code is executed before the template is loaded, so it becomes … Read more
The .htaccess is parsed before WordPress is loaded, so you don’t get access to WordPress data. You can make the redirect in WordPress, in a plugin: Hook into 404_template and inspect $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] with parse_url(). You should be able to find the matching post for the image then. You did not write how the permalinks for … Read more
I’m sure there is a more elegant way of achieving your desires, however this method does work. Just tested it. /** * Redirect pages from array. * * @author Michael Ecklund * @author_url https://www.michaelbrentecklund.com/ * * @return void */ function redirect_pages() { // Page from => Page to $redirect_pages = array( ‘wordpresspage’ => ‘/wordpress-page’ ); … Read more
