In Wordpress I want to make two sidebars. One will be in left hand side of the content and the other one will be in the right hand side (default sidebar) in twentyelven theme. For that I made little bit customization to my twentyeleven child theme. In functions.php I made this changes register_sidebar( array( 'name' => __( 'Left Hand Sidebar', 'buygames' ), 'id' => 'sidebar-left', 'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => "</aside>", 'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">', 'after_title' => '</h3>', ) ); Then in sidebar-page.php I added this code <div

I have a following code to check if current used file is tmp_home_page.php , but when I do echo $template_file; it is showing functions.php add_action('template_redirect', 'are_we_home_yet', 10); function are_we_home_yet(){ global $template; $template_file = basename((__FILE__).$template); if ( is_home() && $template_file == 'tmp_home_page.php' ) { // do stuff } } Any idea how to make sure that my do stuff is only run on home page and when given template is in use? You're looking way too hard into this, there's a wordpress function for that. is_page_template() if( is_page_template( 'tmp_home

I have disabled wpautop through the given code: remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' ); remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' ); This function works. But my actual problem is that, it removes custom "p" tags that I have manually used in the content. So the problem is that when I don't use the above given code, there are automatic p tags that destroy my website and when I disable them, custom p tags are also disabled. The easiest and simplest way to avoid wpauto issue is to understand how wpautop works, Any plain text, or inline element that aren't wrap with block element will be

im creating an error handler for a custom post type. add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data' , 'filter_post_data' , '99', 2 ); function filter_post_data( $data , $postarr ) { //error handling if($data['post_type'] == 'post_annunci') { if($postarr['annuncio_prezzo'] == '' || !is_numeric($postarr['annuncio_prezzo'])) { $errors .= 'Annuncio non salvato, devi inserire un prezzo con valori numerici.</br>prezzo = '.$postarr['annuncio_prezzo']; update_option('my_admin_errors', $errors); $data['post_status'] = 'draft'; } } return $data; } add_action( 'admin_notices', 'admin_error_handler_annunci' );

I want to have a custom permalink for each new post in WordPress like: http://mysite.com/x5Kvy6 (like bit.ly). I tried this little script, but it adds only 5-digit numbers to the post title in the permalink. function wp_unique_post_slug( $slug, $post_ID, $post_status, $post_type, $post_parent ) { if($slug!=""){ $random=rand(11111,99999); //I needed 5 digit random $slug .= "-" . $random; } return $slug; } How can I make a random key instead of the post title? I have not researched URL shorteners or redirection methods. Any idea is welcome! function wp_unique_post_slug($col,$table='wp_posts'){

I am trying to create a theme options page based on WordPress's Settings API. When I go to check the options.php page in my browser (ex. http://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/options.php ), I see an entry for coolorange_options but it is empty. This happened after I added a url, width and height to the text fields. So far, I have enough code written to get the information and store it to the database, but not to retrieve it for anything. I referenced a tutorial in the php comment at the top of the code. Considering that I don't know much php or programming, something must be wrong here, I just

Im trying to display a list of my wordpress categories with nested subcategories. So far i've only been able to get a list of parent categories or a list of subcategories excluding parents but I haven't been able to join the two together. This is the sort of result I am looking to create: Parent Category Subcategory Subcategory Parent Category Subcategory Parent Category Subcategory Subcategory Subcategory EDIT: The idea for this is to create a custom category page. The HTML is as follows: <h1>Categories</h1> <ul class="blocks"> <li> <img src="http://placehold.it/250x250" alt="title" /> <h2

I'm currently trying to override Wordpress' wp_authenticate function (without modifying the core files, mainly pluggable.php), however I'm not sure if I'm going about it the correct way. There are two great references (see below), but they don't explicitly state what to do in order to prevent the login provided certain criteria are met. In short, I'm trying to prevent registered users who have not activated their account. I've already implemented creating a user with a md5 unique id in the usermeta table (attached to their user id). I'm basically trying to check for that "activation_key' value
