Benefits to using semantic HTML in post content? [closed]

It’s a little hard to answer this question definitively, but typically, adding semantic markup can benefit SEO (because robots understand what they’re parsing better) and can benefit end users (because their various technologies, which could include screen readers among many others, also understand what they’re parsing better). Search engines and screen readers also often present … Read more

Getting blog pagination to work on page set as front page

Yes, you’re correct that on the static front page, we use get_query_var(‘page’) to get the current page number. And actually, the issue in question (“the number 2 isn’t highlighted“) happened because you used get_query_var(‘paged’) (note the paged) with the current arg for paginate_links(), which means you’re passing the wrong number. ‘current’ => max( 1, get_query_var(‘paged’) … Read more

Add custom text automatically on each post

You can use a regular expression to sniff for it on the the_content filter. add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpse403518_custom_text’ ); function wpse403518_custom_text( $content ) { $regex = ‘/^([^\.!?]+)([\.!?])(.*)$/’; $replace=”$1 2022$2$3″; $content = preg_replace( $regex, $replace, $content ); return $content; } The regex The $regex variable is a regular expression, and what it does, roughly, is this: ^ … Read more

So the hook that you should have used is the_category_list where the 1st parameter is an array of … Read more

Create a custom posts page

When you select a page as your blog page, the template that WordPress is looking for is the home.php file. You should really check out the Template Hierarchy from the WordPress documentation as these things are really WordPress basic knowledge. Check out the Template Hierarchy here: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/

Only show featured image on first page of paginated posts

You can use is_paged() for this. This function determines whether the query is for a paged result and not for the first page. So ofcourse, in your case, you should use !is_paged(). Check out the docs here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_paged/

Prevent posts with certain post_meta to be edited

I think an elegant way to accomplish this would be to hook into map_meta_cap and deny users as though they do not have the capability to edit the post. This should also gate any other potential work-arounds, such as modifying the post through the REST API or direct POSTing. As an added benefit, it will … Read more

Is there a way to add the list of recent posts into the admin sub menu on hover?

Yes you can. By hooking into the admin_menu hook you can add sub menu pages, and they will appear on hover by default. All you have to do is iterate the recent posts and add them one by one. add_action(‘admin_menu’, function () { $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’, … Read more
