Hello

I've added two custom fields, 'Publisher Name' and 'Publication Date' to allow me to add information to files in the Media Library (fields accessible through the Edit Media page). This has been done using the 'attachment fields to edit / attachment fields to save' method as below:

/**
* Add Publisher Name and Publication Date fields to media uploader
*
* @param $form_fields array, fields to include in attachment form
* @param $post object, attachment record in database
* @return $form_fields, modified form fields
*/

function be_attachment_field_credit( $form_fields, $post ) {
$form_fields['be-publisher-name'] = array(
'label' => 'Publisher Name',
'input' => 'text',
'value' => get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'be_publisher_name', true ),
'helps' => 'If provided, the publisher name will be displayed in the report homepage',
);

$form_fields['be-publication-date'] = array(
'label' => 'Publication Date',
'input' => 'date',
'value' => get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'be_publication_date', true ),
'helps' => 'Add Publication Date',
);

return $form_fields;
}

add_filter( 'attachment_fields_to_edit', 'be_attachment_field_credit', 10, 2 );

/**
* Save values of Publisher Name and Publication Date in media uploader
*
* @param $post array, the post data for database
* @param $attachment array, attachment fields from $_POST form
* @return $post array, modified post data
*/

function be_attachment_field_credit_save( $post, $attachment ) {
if( isset( $attachment['be-publisher-name'] ) )
update_post_meta( $post['ID'], 'be_publisher_name', $attachment['be-publisher-name'] );

if( isset( $attachment['be-publication-date'] ) )
update_post_meta( $post['ID'], 'be_publication_date', $attachment['be-publication-date'] );

return $post;
}

add_filter( 'attachment_fields_to_save', 'be_attachment_field_credit_save', 10, 2 );

My question is how can I add the Publication Date field as an actual Date (preferably as a date picker) rather than plain text, which is how it is recognised using the above code? I tried to specify the 'input' field as 'date', but this does not work. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I have added 2 or three custom links to a menu that appears as inside the submenu drop down. I added them to link to specific sections using #div_id_name terms.Now I have to enter the complete url in order to link them to specific pages. Is there a function that would automatically link them to the parent page so that I just need to enter the # part?

Hi everyone,

I am building a template in which custom post types must be loaded in two different templates.
You have two different menu items : NEWS / VIDEOS / PRINT.
Each month, the administrator will upload new projects in 'NEWS'. Theses projects will also be found in the two categories 'VIDEOS' and 'PRINT'.
Until now, I have built everything. The only problem remaining is : when you are in 'NEWS', you click for example on 'OCTOBER 2014', you have the list of projects (videos and/or prints). Then, if you click on the project, the present template system send the user on single.php, which means, you go out of the 'NEWS' menu to go to 'VIDEOS', which is normal, because I am using the_permalink();, but not good, as I am looking for staying in the same menu.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all.. I'm hoping someone can prevent duplicate posts from showing up when using 2 queries.. Basically a "featured post" one and then a "latest posts" one. I'd like only 1 post to show up on the entire page.

Here is the code from the index.php file.. This is called Point Theme. Thanks!

I've been working on this since yesterday but still can't find out how this is happening. If you go to http://www.getzoomperformance.com everything works great. But if you google zoom performance and click on the link it takes you to a canadian pharmacy site. I've updated the theme and plugins but I haven't found how this is happening. Anyone got an idea of where I should look next? Thanks in advance

I have a Custom Post Type that has multiple Custom Meta Boxes, each with multiple Custom Fields. The code is a bit overwhelming and I wondering if there might be a better way to go about doing this.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi !!

Im having a huge issue !
The other day, i went to my url and it showed my site was hacked. Ran securi and everything is ok. Added a firewall as well.

Did all my updates.

The problem im having is none of the content thats on my pages shows up on my site ?! Can anyone help ?

http://www.thenewoaktree.com

I have succeeded in moving all of my many customizations of Wordpress into a custom plugin except 1: I have an if condition in the RSS2 feed right inside "The Loop" to prevent unpublished posts to be displayed in the feed. (This is a workaround due to modifying the Search Everything plugin to include unpublished posts for logged in users, which then, however, allowed them to show up in a search term feed (.../?s=keyword&feed=rss2) for everyone. I think that was why it's there.)

I was wondering if there is any way, short of replacing the entire feed script, to filter in such an if enclosure. It would go right after "while(have_posts()): the_post();" and before "<item>" and end right before "endwhile;" and after "</item>".

Alternatively, can I replace the entire Loop (and only The Loop) in the rss feed via a plugin filter?

I am using 4.1version but i have a problem.
When I open my college website on mobile it shows a message in red on top of website:
"This site may be fake"
But there is no similier website is on the internet.
My website url is:
http://gctkamalia.cu.cc/

This morning a client alerted me to their site showing a site not found message. No one had been in the admin panel since I last logged in several days ago (I only added a new user and changed my username from "admin"). I use WordFence so I know that no one else logged in.

When I took a closer look all the pages were in the trash. When I restored the pages none of the images were showing. When I looked in the FTP some of the images were there, most were not. I decided to restore the database as I hadn't done any work on the site since I backed it up 20 days ago.

After restoring the site I looked in the media library and the images were there, sort of. None were showing but they had the name, file sizes and upload date. I could see a couple if I pasted the url into a browser but not all.

I'm quite disturbed about this because it has happened before to one of my sites. Same thing - site not found, pages in trash, "ghost" images.

Any clue what might have happened?

thanks,
alison

Hey Friends, I'm writing a plugin for my employer which displays an output based on what is being displayed on the current page (like a custom ad sense kind of plugin).
The issue I am having is finding how to change where the echo prints out to. It is defaulting to inside <div id="text"> which restricts what I can do with it in terms of styling it. Can any of you point me to somewhere I can change the default echo output location?

Cheers

Hi

I am writing a plugin which very simply loads data from a table in the database and displays it in a table on the frontend.

At the top of my table I have several dropdown boxes which are used to filter the data.

How do I go about reloading and updating the SQL query each time the dropdown boxes are changed?

I'm very new to developing in PHP so if any of my code is incorrect then please feel free to point it out to me.

Thanks

I have a page with the slug 'nursery' (/all-classes/nursery/), and also have a custom taxonomy term 'nursery' (/class-blog/nursery/).

When I use get_term_link, it gives me what I want: a link to /class-blog/nursery/.

But on clicking that link, I'm always redirected to /all-classes/nursery/.

That's probably because of the trailing 'nursery', but it's not correct and I wondered if anyone out there knows how to fix that. Flushing my permalink rules did not work.

Also, I need the page slug to be the same as the taxonomy term slug.

I am using the following action;

add_action( 'user_new_form', 'epx_add_user_form_to_admin_area',489);
function epx_add_user_form_to_admin_area($current){
   $current .= 'this is a test';
   echo $current;
}

The issue is the minute i put that in s2member which displays a load of options on the add user page in the admin not to display

http://prntscr.com/5qbvoq

^^That is when i have not got anything that whats s2 member shows

http://prntscr.com/5qbw32

^^That is when i use the code above.

It is like it is overwritten what s2member wants to display. What is the best way to output new themes without removing s2member items which are required!

Many Thanks for any help.

Hi, Im trying to create a private notebox on user profiles page (Im also using Userpro plugin) I figured the way Id do this is to add a 'notes' row to the database, Then on the profile page, I have the shortcode for the userpro profile field.

Below that I have want a box which will show if admin has left any messages for that user, Users cant reply, and only the User whose profile its on can see the notes.

Im new to wordpress so please bare with. But Ive got it so that it will call the notes row for the user from the Database, However only admin can see the notes, how can I also make it so the user can see the notes too?

<?php

$user = wp_get_current_user();
$allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator'; ?>
<?php if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user->roles ) ) {  ?>

  <?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

    ?>
	<h1><?php
	  echo 'notes: ' . $current_user->notes . "\n";
	  ?></h1>
<?php } ?>

So thats my code, Pretty simple (I just made a page template).

I am a beginner in coding but i have just wrote this code and i got an error :(

this code must be placed in author.php file , so it creates a follow button in author's page

and when i click on it , it should save the author-id in a logged-in user meta called "following" ..

<?php

if($_GET['follow']){fun1();}

function fun1()
{
$fauid = get_user_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'author_name' ) );
$user_id= get_current_user_id();
$key = 'following';
$themeta = get_user_meta($user_id , $key, TRUE);
if($themeta != '') {
$user_id= get_current_user_id;
update_user_meta($user_id, 'following', $fauid); }

else {

$user_id= get_current_user_id;
add_user_meta($user_id , 'following' , $fauid , true );
update_user_meta($user_id, 'following', $fauid);
}
}

?>

<html>
<button id="Button" name="Button" onClick='location.href="?follow=1"'>Follow Me <3 <3</button>
</html>

but i think this meta have to be an "array variable" in order not to replace the previous author id

with the new one .

anyone can help me please ?

Hi all,

I wanted to develop my own drag and drop page builder for my theme. But I have no idea where should I start.

I can do all visual things as a metabox. But have no idea how can I connect that data or shortcodes to the main content of the post. Even, I don't know if metabox is the right way to make a custom page builder.

So need help from you guys. Mainly I want to know 2 things here.

1. What is the right way to visualize my own page builder to the dashboard. Metabox or something else?

2. How can I make the default content editor collect data(shortcodes) from my editor as other page builders do.

Thanks in advance.

I was wonder if this is possible and how:

suppose I have a custom post type "Persons" with slug "person" and suppose "John Smith" is a person: I can access his page through the following URL:

http://www.example.com/person/john-smith/

Now, suppose I have the category "Actors" and suppose I apply it to the "person" John Smith; if I access the following URL:

http://www.example.com/actors/

John Smith will be listed in that page, but its URL will still be:

http://www.example.com/person/john-smith/

I was wondering if there is a way so that I can access John Smith's page also through the URL:

http://www.example.com/actors/john-smith/

That would be nice, because you can suppose that I have another category named "Directors" and, guess, John Smith is also a movie director and, guess again, I was wondering if there is also a way so that I can access John Smith's page even through the URL:

http://www.example.com/directors/john-smith/

In summary, I was wondering if there the possibility to access the same exact page through the following URLs:
http://www.example.com/person/john-smith/
http://www.example.com/actors/john-smith/
http://www.example.com/directors/john-smith/

obviously keeping the URL as it is, with no redirection.

What is happening now is that if I access

http://www.example.com/actors/john-smith/

I am redirected to

http://www.example.com/person/john-smith/

Thank you!

Ok.
Let' see if I can describe this.
I have the content of a random post that sort of welcomes you to the website I'm working on. And I have it followed by another parameter of that same post. It could be some metadata, though for now it's just the title.
What I want is to have that other parameter linking to a page where this random post will be permanently posted.
But the whole thing is a bit confusing because I haven't really understood how pages work. Are they subpages of my website that you can navigate to by clicking on buttons from my homepage? And can I really have them organized so that certain posts are posted on certain pages? And if so, can I get a post from a certain page and subsequently get some kind of metadata of that post linking to the page (not the post)?
Or is it so simple that I can just insert the desirable link in some metadata field when creating my post?
