While I strongly advise against this, and it will not speed things up, your usage is incorrect. WordPress already caches these things in the object cache/memory so it doesn’t have to fetch it multiple times in the same request, you don’t need to store the result and reuse, WP does that already out of the … Read more
If by ‘blog page‘ you meant a static page set as posts page in the Reading Settings, then you could check it by doing this: if ( is_front_page() && is_home() ) { // Default homepage } elseif ( is_front_page() ) { // static homepage } elseif ( is_home() ) { // blog page } else … Read more
Use get_page_by_path($page_path): $page = get_page_by_path( ‘about’ ); echo get_the_title( $page ); This will return a regular post object. Documentation: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_page_by_path/ https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_title/
if you need the gmt_offset then <?php echo get_option(‘gmt_offset’); ?> this will give you an integer like 2 or -2. and if you need the timezone string use <?php echo get_option(‘timezone_string’); ?> this will give you a string like America/Indianapolis
COMPLETE GUIDE TO EXCERPTS I’ve recently answered a few questions regarding excerpts, so I’m going to give a detailed explanation covering as much as I can. PREFACE There seems to be a couple of questions arising from this answer on where the code should go, and the answer is, it is really up to you … Read more
There’s little difference between the files. When you view a WordPress page, the first file called is index.php. And it is, essentially, your “Method 1:” define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true); /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */ require (‘./wp-blog-header.php’); The blog header file (that queues up the rest of WordPress) loads wp-load.php directly and fires up WordPress … Read more
I gave this some more thought and given size of WP code base (including bundled libraries) it doesn’t seem very realistic to compile such list by hand (and repeat it for every new version – meh). I looked up appropriate static code analysis tool – PHP_CompatInfo and after some tinkering generated following report of extensions … Read more
You have made a mistake in the function wpb_related_pages. Your code should look as below: Updated Code with change needed: // related pages function wpb_related_pages() { # Global $post variable should be called at the start of the function. global $post; $orig_post = $post; $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID); Hope this helps!
get_permalink() is only really useful for single pages and posts, and only works inside the loop. The simplest way I’ve seen is this: global $wp; echo home_url( $wp->request ) $wp->request includes the path part of the URL, eg. /path/to/page and home_url() outputs the URL in Settings > General, but you can append a path to … Read more
I’d probably do something like this: Then if i want a Student where i know the ID: Or if i have an array of the db row: Technically you’re not building multiple constructors, just static helper methods, but you get to avoid a lot of spaghetti code in the constructor this way.
