Wrapping add_query_arg with esc_url not working

And the strange part: both codes echo the same string for $url!!! No, they don’t. Look at the page source. esc_url() is encoding the & control character. You can’t do that and expect the HTTP request to work correctly. Use esc_url_raw() instead. Note the description in the Codex concerning that function: The esc_url_raw() function is … Read more

How to rewrite this file_get_contents() snippet using wp_remote_get()

So take this code: $bizt_a = json_decode(file_get_contents(“https://karteritesed.hu/biztositok.json”)); Separate it out so that we do 1 thing per line ( if you pass it straight into json_decode what happens if the request fails and that site is down? json_decode isn’t expecting an error message!

(Though that will depend in part on what your remote server sends back if there’s an invalid request.) You can check the status code using wp_remote_retrieve_response_code(). I’d use something … Read more

http_response_timeout filter not working

There is no filter named “http_response_timeout” in the WordPress core. Where are you finding this filter name from? The timeout parameter as passed to a wp_remote call has a default of five seconds, and that default can be changed using the “http_request_timeout” filter, which is a different name than you used. Maybe you’re just using … Read more
