I can't figure it out - it won't add anythign to the database even though there is 100% a value being passed into $_POST['_desc'] what am I doing wrong?

/** Add the Meta Box **/
function add_custom_meta_box() {
	global $meta_box;
    add_meta_box(
		'short-desc', // $id
		'Short Description', // $title
		'show_custom_meta_box', // $callback
		'post', // $page
		'side', // $context
		'high'); // $priority
}
add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'add_custom_meta_box');

/** The Callback **/
function show_custom_meta_box() {
	global $post;
	// Use nonce for verification
	echo '<input type="hidden" name="shortdesc_meta_box_nonce" value="'.wp_create_nonce(basename(__FILE__)).'" />';

	// get value of this field if it exists for this post
	$meta = get_post_custom($post->ID);
	echo var_dump($meta);

	// Begin the field table and loop
	echo '<table class="form-table"><tr><td>';

		echo '<strong>Enter A Short Description:</strong>
			<input type="text" name="_desc" id="short-desc" value="'.$meta['_desc'].'" size="30" />';

	echo '</td></tr></table>'; // end table
} 

/** Save the Data **/
function save_custom_meta($post) {
	// verify nonce
	if (!wp_verify_nonce($_POST['shortdesc_meta_box_nonce'], basename(__FILE__)))
		return $post->ID;
	// check autosave
	if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE)
		return $post->ID;
	// check permissions

Is there a new and approved way to add JS snippets to extra edit fields in the new media modal?

I'm trying to fix a plugin that adds JS code in the 'html'-key of a $form_field and this variant is silently dropped by get_compat_media_markup(). So far, I haven't been able to find any documentation on extending the new modal.

I have setup in my functions.php a custom post type of 'Portfolio'. I have just added hierarchy capability to it, so I can assign child posts and such.

This works fine, where I am able to assign child/parents, however, by adding the line...

'hierarchical' => true,

...to $args results in the list of posts to be ordered asc by post_title and the thumbnails disappear. Removing this line, or setting its value to false, reverts everything back to the way I would prefer, where it is ordered by publish_date and the thumbnails are present.

Any ideas how can keep hierarchical functionality and have my columns display as I wish? Here is my code...

/*

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to integrate register post type with my plugin. What I need is that each author have access to post to his/her course. So I need a drop down menu that would select the course he wants to post to. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can somebody please tell me how to properly enqueue jQuery into my plugin code?
I did this:

if (is_admin()) add_action( "wp_enqueue_scripts", "my_jquery_enqueue", 11 );
function my_jquery_enqueue() {
   wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
   wp_register_script( 'jquery', "http" . ( $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443 ? "s" : "" ) . "://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js", false, null );
   wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}

And it didn't work. I opened the console and got this message:
GET http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-admin/jquery-1.10.2.min.map 404 (Not Found)

I have a php array of dates ($fdates) which outputs as
array (size=1) 0 => string '2013/08/23' (length=10)

I need to change this to a Javascript array in this format

var array = ["2013-09-14","2013-09-15","2013-09-16"]

using json_encode i get ["2013V09V14"]

How do i change the format into the format above (its for beforedate in jquery date picker..

<?php
var_dump( $fdates ); // test query
echo json_encode($fdates);

?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var array = <?php echo json_encode($fdates); ?>;

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('#MyDate').datepicker({
		beforeShowDay: function(date){
        var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', date);
        return [ array.indexOf(string) == -1 ]
    }
    });
});

</script>

Hey guys, I'm new to WP and PHP so I can't really rely on my hardcoding skills to get what I want, so I need your help. It should be simple:

I have category pages and child categories in some of them. I want to display in the category page, links to the current parents and child categories, so the user can filter the posts.

Imagine we are broswing Category 1, with has 2 child categories. All I want is to display:

Category Title

[All] - [Child 1] - [Child 2]

[the loop]

Only the content and category title would be displayed if there are no child categories.

I'm aware I could do this by making specific page templates, but I want to keep everything lean and dynamic, so my client can change the categories as he pleases.

Thank you guys in advance!

HI Guys,

I am not a programmer and I want to have this function in my wordpress site very badly. Something similar to this link here: http://www.a-li.com.cn/download/qq_emotion/

I have been searching for the solution for a long time and no result.

I tried the "DISPLAY POST SHORT-CODE" plugin but it doesn't give me a pagination and also have a limit of 300 posts.

Can anyone help me on this? Thank you so MUCH!!!!!!

My hosting company, Dreamhost.com, walked me through how to increase the file upload size limit because the methods described here weren't working. Their method involves creating a phprc file:

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Php.ini#phprc

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Php.ini#Increasing_the_Filesize_Upload_Limit

Now WP 3.6 shows my upload limit as 360MB (I made it that large because I have hour-long videos). Yet only uploads smaller than 100MB succeed. Is there an implicit processing limit in WP 3.6 on upload size?

Hey guys,

i wrote a simple Plugin for sending mails over the cronjob.
WP_CRON is disabled and outsourced to crontabs on the server, for example:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php5 -f /homepages/23/d471228603/htdocs/wp-cron.php >> /homepages/23/d471228603/htdocs/cron.log

Here is the source: http://pastebin.com/tA4JgEBC

Description:
For testing, i use the direct-link to wp-cron on my Browser (for example: http://domain.com/wp-cron.php)

When i use the wp_mail function first time, i become an PHP Error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class phpmailerException in /homepages/23/d471228603/htdocs/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 2825

After reloading the page will be blank/white. The printing of display_name and email of the users will be not printed.

Can anyone tell me why this does not work?

I would like to use WordPress-own functions and needs wp_mail here.

Has anybody integrated the blueimp ajax chat with wordpress (login to wordpress, automtically logged into chat). Seems like it should be fairly straight forward but not sure where to start

I am trying to work out a way to be able to get Woocommerce products displaying like http://d.pr/i/fFjs would it be best to use a custom post type?

I really need the image a title and a short description for the homepage - will be changed regularly.

Hi,

I have heard about the importance of properly sanitizing or preparing SQL Queries while developing plugins. I'm just not sure if I understand how to do it. I've created my query which takes the page titles and flushes them from the database. The plugin is supposed to allow the user to create new page titles in a custom form by using wp_insert_post.

How do I sanitize/validate the page title input that will be sent to the database?

global $wpdb;
	$args['menu_order'] = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT MAX(menu_order)+1 AS menu_order FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_type='page'");
	$wpdb->flush();

This may be an odd question, but here goes.

Lets say that I have a page that has a URL that is:

http://www.mysite.com/logical/url/sturcture/

but we want to keep that url from an older version of the site because this URL ranks well in google and we don't want to take the hit from 301 redirecting the old url to the new url.

The URL might be:
http://www.mysite.com/comlpetely/illogical/url/structure/page/

So, when the old page url is requested we don't want to show a 404, instead we want to show the content from the page where it has been moved to.

Possible? How?

Hi,
I've modified a theme to my like. I created a CSS class to the post tags and searching, I found this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_tags. I've adapted this:

<?php
					$tags = get_the_tags();
					foreach ($tags as $tag){
						$tag_link = get_tag_link($tag->term_id);
						$html .= "<a href=\"{$tag_link}\" title=\"{$tag->name} Tag\" class=\"tags\">";
						$html .= "{$tag->name}</a>";
					}
				?>

On the first post, the tags is correct. But on the second post or more (I display two posts per page), the tags of first post is repeated with the tags of second posts.
How can I fix this?
Thanks so much!
