If you edit your wp-config.php file you can preload these FTP settings as constants read by WordPress. Keep in mind, on a shared host, you should be mindful of possible security implications. See Editing wp-config.php for more information. Your settings will vary, but these work for me and my hosting setup. I’ve included some of … Read more
I don’t think get_categories() is the best option for you in this case because it returns a string with all the categories listed as anchor tags, fine for displaying, but not great for figuring out in code what the categories are. Ok, so the first thing you need to do is grab the product/post object … Read more
When developing a plugin should the functions be grouped together into a Class to avoid namespace conflicts? Yes, but that’s only one of the minor arguments. In-fact that’s not the “true” nature of a class in OOAD. Does using classes create performance overheads for PHP? No, not notably. Bad design and/or bad written code or … Read more

You can find ‘template_redirect’ in /wp-includes/template-loader.php which is a … Read more
Filters and actions are both assigned to hooks. Functions assigned to hooks are stored in global $wp_filter variable. So all you have to do is to print_r it. print_r($GLOBALS[‘wp_filter’]); PS. add_action function makes a add_filter call. And the latter does $wp_filter[$tag][$priority][$idx]. NOTE: you can directly add this code in functions.php, and you will see a … Read more
Welcome to WordPress stack exchange! Just yesterday I created WP-Markdown, which enables Markdown on your posts. It also provides the same interface as this website (the toolbar, and live preview) – however, currently only for comments and bbPress forums (if enabled). That said, (since it would be straightforward to do), I am planning on adding … Read more
Whenever you find a piece of code without clear installation instructions it is probably a plugin. The example you gave is a good one, because that is the most common case: add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘remove_404_redirect’, 1); function remove_404_redirect() { // do something } To use such a snippet, put it into a plugin: Create a new file, … Read more
