What’s the difference between WordPress random_int() and PHP built-in function random_int()?
WordPress is old. In fact, it is older than PHP7, in which PHP introduced random_int(). WP wanted/needed this functionality before, so another method was implemented. how does the PHP interpreter understand which of the two functions I’m calling? Good question. The interpreter doesn’t understand this. And hence, if you had PHP7 and would define this … Read more
Difference between the_permalink() and get_permalink() function
the_permalink echos out the permalink of the current post to the frontend. get_permalink however returns it as a variable, but does not echo it out. You can also pass a post ID to it if you want the permalink of another post. the_permalink is equivalent to: echo get_permalink(); Which is very close to what it … Read more
Add container to nav_menu sub menu

That is why one should actually always unset that value after the foreach loop is done. wp_list_pluck() is also just a basic foreach loop if $index_key is not passed. Also, as with any foreach … Read more
Excluding iPad from wp_is_mobile
t f’s answer got me thinking. Actually, I can use the core function and adapt it as I like but just put everything in a new function. So here goes: function my_wp_is_mobile() { static $is_mobile; if ( isset($is_mobile) ) return $is_mobile; if ( empty($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’]) ) { $is_mobile = false; } elseif ( strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’], ‘Android’) !== … Read more
Is there any global functions.php file which works for any theme?
The difference between theme and non-theme code is organizational rather than technical. Any code that is active contributes to resulting environment, does not matter where it is loaded from.
