The theme-compat directory is comprised of a set of deprecated (since WordPress 3.0) files that WordPress used to use as fallback template-part files, in case the active Theme failed to include them. In other words, if a Theme used the get_header() template tag, but failed to include a header.php template-part file, WordPress would fall back … Read more
The WordPress site was mostly working without a problem except in a dashboard section of the site, where it was having some issues with updating or installing. When I tried to install theme,it gave me error “Installation failed: Download failed. No working transports found”. Fortunately, i fixed the problem with following solution. It turns out, … Read more
From the wording of your question, you must be adding scripts by writing <script> tags in your template. Add your own scripts via wp_enqueue_script() in your template’s functions.php, appropriately setting dependences on jQuery, and wp_head() will add the scripts for you. function my_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script( ‘my-sweet-script’, get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’) . ‘/script.js’, array(‘jquery’) ); } add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘my_scripts’); See … Read more
I took the following from the rtl.css and applied them via Magic Widget with additional !important keywords to an English site: body:before { right: 0 !important; left: auto !important; } .sidebar { float: right !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-left: -100% !important; } .site-content { float: right !important; margin-right: 29.4118% !important; margin-left: auto !important; } .site-footer … Read more
You could just use a RewriteRule to your .htaccess above the regular permalink rewrite rules: RewriteRule ^ajax$ /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php [L] Now send your AJAX requests to example.com/ajax, and never miss core changes to that file after upgrades.
I believe it was added back on WordPress 2.6 (maybe 2.5). It’s there to allow you to set a maximum width on images being displayed as content in your theme. E.g. If your main content area is only 475px wide, you could set $content_width = 450 to make sure your image doesn’t break out of … Read more
I think there’s a song for that: “Imagine there’s no theme. It’s easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us only sky …” 😉 So in that imaginary dream: you can still fetch the RSS feeds from your site: example.com/feed/ you can still login to your backend: example.com/wp-login.php you can still access the … Read more
Version number is a parameter of wp_enqueue_style(). As per the Codex, here are all the parameters that wp_enqueue_style accepts. wp_enqueue_style( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $media ); So for example to load a stylesheet with a version number you’d do the following: function wpa_90820() { wp_enqueue_style(‘my-styles’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/my-styles.css’, array(), ‘1.0’ ); } add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘wpa_90820’);
Line breaks are added by wpautop(), not wptexturize(). wpautop() is also the function that automatically adds paragraph tags. You’re better off fixing the <br />‘s than you are replacing the filter. Since wpautop() runs at priority 10, you can just hook in after that and fix it. add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘html5_line_breaks’, 25 ); function html5_line_breaks( $content … Read more
There are many different ways to learn to create your own theme. First, there’s the “official” WordPress Codex on Developing Themes, but I’d say that it is more of a reference than a tutorial. Another approach and one I like a lot is to read some of the better tutorials about WordPress Theming on the … Read more
