admin-post.php is like a poor mans controller for handling requests. It’s useful in the sense that you don’t need to process your request on an alternative hook such as init and check to see whether or not special keys exists on the superglobals, like: function handle_request() { if ( !empty($_POST[‘action’]) && $_POST[‘action’] === ‘xyz’ ) … Read more
I am not sure what you are trying to do. Admin links can be conveniently created with admin_url() function, like this: $path=”admin.php?page=wpsc_product_seo_details”; $url = admin_url($path); $link = “<a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/4677/{$url}”>Edit</a>”; echo $link; What exactly do you have problem with?

This should return an array: array ( id => … Read more

Before being printed, all the menu items get run through a filter. You can target the wp_nav_menu_items filter to tack things on to the menu: // Filter wp_nav_menu() to add additional links and other output function new_nav_menu_items($items) { $homelink = ‘<li class=”home”><a href=”‘ . home_url( “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ) . ‘”>’ . __(‘Home’) . ‘</a></li>’; // add … Read more
Do not point the URL to admin.php, use admin-post.php instead: ‘<a href=”‘ . admin_url( ‘admin-post.php?action=print.csv’ ) . ‘”>’ In your plugin register a callback for that action: add_action( ‘admin_post_print.csv’, ‘print_csv’ ); function print_csv() { if ( ! current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) ) return; header(‘Content-Type: application/csv’); header(‘Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=example.csv’); header(‘Pragma: no-cache’); // output the CSV data } … Read more
Always write plugins for the current version and keep the nightly builds from the upcoming versions in mind. Anything else doesn’t matter.
