This is a serialized value, so you should run it through maybe_unserialize() or just unserialize() before you edit it.

Use get_file_data( $file, $headers ): $file_data = get_file_data( __FILE__, array ( ‘Plugin Name’ ) ); echo “the name is ” . $file_data[0]; Make sure the first parameter points to an existing file. It will find all lines that are formatted like regular plugins headers or the headers of a style.css. In my plugin T5 Opera … Read more
If it is a custom theme for your site then there would no great speed or security improvements by moving functions.

These two are pretty close, but relate to slightly different stages of the process. In purely technical terms WordPress has two different APIs — Options API and Settings API.

This is the filter: “plugin_install_action_links”. You can find this in /wp-admin/includes/class-wp-plugin-install-list-table.php (currently) at line 434: $action_links = apply_filters( ‘plugin_install_action_links’, $action_links, $plugin ); Use it like: add_filter( ‘plugin_install_action_links’, ‘my_custom_links’, 10, 2 ); function my_custom_links( $action_links, $plugin ){ $action_links[] = ‘<a href=””>……</a>’; return $action_links; }
I’ve created a metabox once with color picker. You need to include color picker style and script in your admin_enqueue_scripts hook, and then initialize it with $(‘.color-picker’).wpColorPicker(); From my gist: <?php add_action( ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’, ‘mytheme_backend_scripts’); if ( ! function_exists( ‘mytheme_backend_scripts’ ) ){ function mytheme_backend_scripts($hook) { wp_enqueue_media(); wp_enqueue_style( ‘wp-color-picker’); wp_enqueue_script( ‘wp-color-picker’); } } add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘mytheme_add_meta_box’ ); … Read more
This approach should work for you: <?php /** * Plugin Name: Rewrite Shortcode **/ add_shortcode( ‘myplugin’, ‘mp_shortcode’ ); function mp_shortcode(){ return ‘<p>Filter: ‘ . get_query_var( ‘filter’ ) . ‘</p>’; } add_action( ‘init’, ‘mp_rewrite’ ); function mp_rewrite(){ $post_id = 2; add_rewrite_rule( ‘myplugin/([^/]+)/?$’, ‘index.php?p=’ . $post_id . ‘&filter=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); add_rewrite_tag( ‘%filter%’, ‘([^/]+)’ ); } ?> I … Read more
At first glance it works and I cannot see any implications but maybe you are aware of some? You say that you are not getting errors, which I would have expected but it looks as though WordPress uses require_once() so you are probably safe: 39 /** WordPress Plugin Administration API */ 40 require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/plugin.php’); … Read more
Escaping is used to produce valid HTML or other formats, and it depends on context. Escaping a url in something like <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/215822/<?php echo $url?>”…. is needed in order to replace any “&” characters with & (although browsers will most likely fix it for you if you don’t do it). Escaping a url in an … Read more
