This is just, how I understood the idea of the WordPress File API. If it is wrong, please downvote 🙂 Okay. If you upload a file, this file has an owner. If you upload your file with FTP, you login and the file will be owned by the FTP user. Since you have the credentials, … Read more
No it doesn’t. At least, not on the front end, or in the back end in any non-plugin area. WordPress only loads files whose filepaths are stored in the active_plugins option in the database and ignores everything else completely.
By default this is not possible. There are workarounds if you do it the OOP way. You could create a class to store the values you want to use later. Example: /** * Stores a value and calls any existing function with this value. */ class WPSE_Filter_Storage { /** * Filled by __construct(). Used by … Read more
For example if you don’t want WordPress to show update notifications for akismet, you will do it like: function filter_plugin_updates( $value ) { unset( $value->response[‘akismet/akismet.php’] ); return $value; } add_filter( ‘site_transient_update_plugins’, ‘filter_plugin_updates’ );
Add the following to wp-config.php: define( ‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’ ); Let me know how it works for you.
You can use single_template filter hook. /* Filter the single_template with our custom function*/ add_filter(‘single_template’, ‘my_custom_template’); function my_custom_template($single) { global $post; /* Checks for single template by post type */ if ( $post->post_type == ‘POST TYPE NAME’ ) { if ( file_exists( PLUGIN_PATH . ‘/Custom_File.php’ ) ) { return PLUGIN_PATH . ‘/Custom_File.php’; } } return … Read more
get_page_template() can be overridden via the page_template filter. If your plugin is a directory with the templates as files in them, it’s just a matter of passing the names of these files. If you want to create them “on the fly” (edit them in the admin area and save them in the database?), you might … Read more
The plugins are loaded right before theme (yes, I’ve been looking for excuse to use this): However it is wrong to think about either as point of code execution. For most cases everything should be hooked and executed no earlier than init hook. According to Codex widget registration with register_widget() should be hooked to widget_init. … Read more
You won’t find a WordPress plugin to do that – you need to use http://www.copyscape.com or something similar; Good luck getting people to remove your content though, most of them will be automatically generated heaps of junk.
The best way is to not do that. There’s no need for a plugin file to ever include the wp-config.php. You’re doing it backwards. WordPress loads plugins. Plugins don’t load WordPress.
