I came up with a function that does the job for now : /** * Creates a translation of a post (to be used with WPML) * * @param int $post_id The ID of the post to be translated. * @param string $post_type The post type of the post to be transaled (ie. ‘post’, ‘page’, … Read more
TL;DR It can be anywhere on the filesystem. (But see the update below for a tool that will help you do this even more realistically.) Explanation The plugin can be anywhere on the filesystem, depending on whether your plugin has an install function and how you want to run that. If your plugin creates database … Read more
I think the more WordPress friendly way to do this is to use wp_enqueue_styles()‘s $deps parameter. Assuming the plugin styles are enqueued via wp_enqueue_styles() (which, admittedly, pathetically few are), you list an array of the stylesheet handles that your styles depend on and then they load afterwards.
If the plugins were hosted in the official WordPress SVN repository, you can download old versions directly if they’re available by clicking the ‘developer’ tab on the relevant plugin page. e.g. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/developers/ (scroll down to ‘other versions’). If the plugins weren’t hosted at WordPress.org, you’ll need to contact the plugin developer directly.
Hi @Grant Palin: I think the decision is your own. As said Automattic is merging its plugins into JetPack and encouraging users with older versions to upgrade. If you want to continue using those plugins you likely will not have a choice but to upgrade to JetPack with the alternate being to switch to other … Read more
I’ve never found one that was reliable and/or not a huge resource/memory drain. 🙁 I ended up using the very handy “Page in Widget” plugin instead – it has the advantage of all the functionality of a regular editable page and your widget content won’t accidentally get wiped, which has happened to me far too … Read more
That’s a Serialized Array which turns an array into a simple string so that it can be inserted into a database ( since you cannot just insert arrays into a database as they are ). For more information you can read into the PHP docs for serialize() There is also some WordPress functions which do … Read more
Sorry for answering my own question but it may help some other devs too. I created this additional filter ‘json_query_var-meta_query’that returns the necessary arguments. function adjustQrry($data){ $args = array(); $args[‘relation’] = ‘AND’; foreach ($data as $key=>$value) { if ( ‘relation’ === $key ) { $args[‘relation’] = $data[‘relation’]; } if ( substr($key, 0, 3) === ‘key’ … Read more
TLDR: No. It’s all about trust. So there are some very basic checks on wp.org but generally this can happen (and probably also does happen from time to time). Of course if something like this happens and people notice it wp.org can block updates or replace them with something safe. Also have a look at … Read more
If you do not already have your tags created, you can use the “Bulk Add Tags” plugin – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-add-tags/ Then to restrict all users except admins from adding new tags via the “New Post” screen, add this code to your theme’s functions.php file: //Hide Post Page Options from all except Administrator if (!current_user_can(‘administrator’)){ function hide_post_page_options() … Read more
