What I do On receipt of WordPress files and Db install in my localhost directory (I use EasyPHP Dev server) I then install Db and change wp-config.php to connect to local db etc. Then copy .htacces to htaccess.back Edit .htaccess to point at local dir structure (in this case find “~porterp6” and replace with “wordpress2” … Read more
You had the right idea when you put the thumbnail between the opening and closing <a> tags, but the dot operators and the quotes are wrong, which is why it breaks down the site. This would be the proper way to write it: $string .= ‘<li>’ .'<a class=”nana” href=”‘. get_permalink() .'” >’. get_the_post_thumbnail() . get_the_title() … Read more
For the next person, be sure to set AllowOverride All in the correct directory. In Damon’s case he set AllowOverride All in the /var/www/html directory, but his site is located in /var/www/example.com/public_html. I could be wrong, but the AllowOverride setting is specific to the directory. Damon should add the AllowOverride All setting to the /etc/httpd/sites-available/example.com.conf … Read more
This can happen for several reasons – in your case, it looks like you are using a caching plugin that only recognizes www links. I suspect if you turned off caching you would not have that problem, but then you’d lose the benefits of caching. It’s best practice (with or without caching) to add redirects … Read more
Just make sure your filter runs before the one that WordPress itself applies – add a priority of 9: add_filter( ‘sanitize_title’, function( $title ) { if ( FALSE !== strpos( $title, ‘@’ ) ) { $title = str_replace( ‘@’, ‘-‘, $title ); } return $title; }, 9 ); Usage: echo sanitize_title( ‘[email protected]’ ); Output: mytitle-example-org
whereis is not the right tool to find a file. whereis – locate the binary, source, and manual page files for a command You better use find /var/www/html/wptest2/ -name .htaccess to search for your .htaccess. Try to create a new .htaccess (touch /var/www/html/wptest2/.htaccess) and see if it’s possible.
Is there anything built into the WordPress core to enable me to get the relative path from the “permalink structure” option No, because it isn’t necessary, PHP provides this via parse_url. Using php -a we can launch an interactive PHP shell and test the code: php > echo parse_url( ‘http://example.com/iamapost/100’, PHP_URL_PATH ); /iamapost/100 php > … Read more
Do you use a plugin called Redirection? It has a setting that will automatically create redirects when a post permalink is changed, and if the post is renamed and then changed back to the original name, you get a loop. And if a category is removed, WP will reassign a post to the default category … Read more
Save your existing .htaccess file by renaming it to backup.htaccess & then re-save your permalinks which will create a new .htaccess file. That solves issues most of the time.
wp_insert_post() function in WP accepts special import_id field in arguments and will try to use that ID, rather than automatically generating new one. This is easy to use when writing import code yourself, but I have no idea how easy would it be to with that plugin. You could try suggesting this as a feature … Read more
