If you haven’t studied up on WordPress’s own unit testing tools and how to use them with plugins, I’d recommend that you do that. Here’s a tutorial I wrote, to get you started: http://codesymphony.co/writing-wordpress-plugin-unit-test
If ACF (or any other plugin) is active on the site you do not need to include its files as they are all being included in the wordpress initialization process. The only tricky part is that you don’t know the order in which files are included and yours might be included before the ACF files … Read more
There is no action variable on the data you’re passing to Ajax. This way WordPress is sending just a generic call to Ajax which always return 0. You must edit your data on your JS file to something like: data: { ‘user_input’: user_input_last, ‘action’: ‘tags_autofill_function’ },

the TinyMCE Editor has its own keydown event handler and its hooked to a function on initiation so to do that you can create a tinymce plugin or use the wordpress initiation of it with tiny_mce_before_init hook like this: add_filter( ‘tiny_mce_before_init’, ‘wpse24113_tiny_mce_before_init’ ); function wpse24113_tiny_mce_before_init( $initArray ) { $initArray[‘setup’] = <<<JS [function(ed) { ed.onKeyDown.add(function(ed, e) … Read more

If your plugin is rather complex, like a shopping plugin, you may want to offer additional actions for other plugin developers or for the pro-version of your plugin. In these cases you add do_action() wherever you think it could be useful. … Read more
You need to save the version to the database– aka. save it “as an option”– so that your script has a comparison case. That is, your script should… Check the database for a version number Compare that version number to the new version number– a variable or constant in your plugin file. Update things if … Read more
It seems that is was a simple problem. get_posts() has various default settings, one of which is that the post_status is set to public and my custom post type which doesn’t use post_status used the default value, draft. To fix this you can either query by post status (see the code below) or change the … Read more
If it’s the first time you are using the assets folder, do not forget to: svn add assets/* and commit the updates. 😉 I was wondering why my banner image / screenshots were not showing and realized I didn’t even add them to SVN! HTH!
There is a global variable called $pagenow for the use within WP Admin: global $pagenow; if ( $pagenow == ‘upload.php’ ) : function custom_admin_notice() { echo ‘<div class=”updated”><p>Updated!</p></div>’; } add_action( ‘admin_notices’, ‘custom_admin_notice’ ); endif; UPDATE: Simply include the snippet in your themes or plugins functions.php
