How should I use wpdb class to submit a form in admin dashboard?

If you don’t want to use the Dashboard Widgets API you can use this code snippet that I have quickly concocted as a starting point: function dashboard_daily_post_metabox() { add_meta_box( ‘wt_id’, ‘Daily Post’, ‘dashboard_daily_post_process’, ‘dashboard’, ‘normal’, ‘high’ ); } add_action( ‘wp_dashboard_setup’, ‘dashboard_daily_post_metabox’ ); function dashboard_daily_post_process() { global $wpdb; ?> <form method=”post”> <label>Age <input type=”text” name=”wt_age” value=”<?php … Read more

Get Commentor IP When Marking Comment As Spam

You are missing 2 parameters in your function report_spam. Also the priority should not be 1. Try the code below. add_action(‘transition_comment_status’, ‘report_spam’, 10, 3); function report_spam($new_status, $old_status, $comment){ if($new_status == ‘spam’){ var_dump($comment->comment_author_IP); die; } } I’ve set die so that you can check and manipulate what you want.

Either hook to the admin_footer action instead of admin_head (interestingly you have declared the in_footer option as true and it is still not working) or declare the editorremov dependency when enqueuing your script: wp_enqueue_script( ‘features’, plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) … Read more

WordPress-child problem with many css files in parent theme

How can I see a varibles value when my plugin runs?

Using the following modifications and adding in die() stopped the script and output whatever the variables value was at that time. Thanks to @toscho function cf7pp_after_send_mail( $contact_form ) { global $postid; $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance(); if ( $submission ) { $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data(); $postid = $posted_data[‘_wpcf7’]; $enable = get_post_meta( $postid, “_cf7pp_enable”, true); $email = get_post_meta( $postid, … Read more

Create dedicated page with custom template showing custom data

My first response when I hear “custom tables” is – are you absolutely certain you need custom tables rather than using custom post types, post meta data, and custom taxonomies? Far fewer wheels to reinvent by going that route. That said, to integrate data into any theme, a couple of options are to either create … Read more

Let user override plugin CSS

How about having the location of the CSS file set as an option for the plugin in the admin area? The default setting would be your default stylesheet.
