I'm new to php as well as wordpress however because of some need I had to work with wordpress only. So just to start I read a tutorial and created a wordpress theme of my own and when I tried to upload my theme I got the below error: The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature Searching for the same I've found that usually the cause of such an error is maximum available space or upload file size issue. However since I'm working on localhost I don't think it could be the case. Moreover I've increased the upload_max

I register a Custom Post Type, and I don't want it to have its own menu, instead I want to place it as a submenu of an existing admin menu item called my-custom-parent-page . Here's my code: register_post_type('my_custom_post_type', array( 'labels' => array( 'name' => __('Books', 'mcpt'), 'singular_name' => __('Book', 'mcpt'), ), 'supports' => array('title', 'editor'), 'show_ui' => true, 'show_in_nav_menus' => false, 'show_in_menu' => 'my-custom-parent-page', ) ); It works, meaning that it's properly located under the menu my-custom-parent-page , however now when I click on the parent menu (i

I've written a shortcode and its functioning like it should. Now the hard part: I would like to show the user a preview already in the tinyMCE editor. Loading CSS in the editor is not a problem for me, but i would love to know if it is possible to already process the shortcode within TinyMCE. Thanks! Let the code talk: I'll put a code to add a visual icon for highlight content word(s) shortcode, and you can then implement any other shortcode you want with the same logic, class spot_shortcodes { function spot_shortcodes() { add_action('init', array(&$this, 'init')); } function init(){ // Enable

Example of WordPress default CSS class output: <li id="menu-item-55" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-55"> <li class="page_item page-item-37"> The menu and pages list item come with various own li class and id . How to remove them in functions.php file for the menu and for the pages list? You should be able to remove them by hooking into a couple of filters and returning empty arrays or strings rather than new classes or ids: add_filter('nav_menu_css_class', 'my_css_attributes_filter', 100, 1); add_filter('nav_menu_item_id', 'my_css_attributes_filter',

I'm new to WooCommerce. Anyhow, I want to create my own theme, so I followed the guidelines and copied accross the core template files to /mywordpresstheme/woocommerce/ . That all works great and I'm editing the templates just fine. However, the way hooks and actions work in WooCommerce is baffling me and I can't work out where certain parts of generated HTML are coming from. For example, in content-product.php , there is a hook that gets the image: <?php /* * woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title hook * * @hooked woocommerce_show_product_loop_sale_flash - 10 * @hooked woocommerce_template

I have been building my first theme on WordPress and have run into problem while adding content into different sections. My HTML is somewhat like this, <div id="maintext"> <-- Text --> </div> <div id="products"> <-- Text and Images --> </div> <div id="about_company"> <-- Text boxes --> </div> How do I make sure the content added via the WordPress editor falls under the respective divs ? For the "maintext" div I'll load the content from the page itself but how do I add content to the other 2 divs dynamically ? I searched on a couple of forums and many suggested to add content using widgets, is
