wordpress Remove the 28px Push Down from the Admin Bar

by in , 0

For your functions.php file:

  add_action('get_header', 'my_filter_head');

  function my_filter_head() {
    remove_action('wp_head', '_admin_bar_bump_cb');
  }

By default, if you are seeing the admin bar as a logged in WordPress user, CSS like this will be output in your head (output in the wp_head() function):

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
	html { margin-top: 28px !important; }
	* html body { margin-top: 28px !important; }
</style>

This is normally a good thing, as it doesn't cover parts of your site then with its fixed-position-ness. But it can also be weird if you use absolute positioning for things. As they will be different depending on if the bar is there or not. Using the code above to remove the bump CSS will make the bar cover the top bit of your site, but at least the positioning will be consistent.

wordpress Remove Private/Protected from Post Titles

by in , 0

For the functions.php file in your theme:

function the_title_trim($title) {

	$title = attribute_escape($title);

	$findthese = array(
		'#Protected:#',
		'#Private:#'
	);

	$replacewith = array(
		'', // What to replace "Protected:" with
		'' // What to replace "Private:" with
	);

	$title = preg_replace($findthese, $replacewith, $title);
	return $title;
}
add_filter('the_title', 'the_title_trim');

wordpress Remove Paragraph Tags From Around Images

by in , 0

In case you want to have <img> in your content but not have them get "Auto P'd" like WordPress likes to do.

example of problem:

blah blah blah

<img src="monkey.jpg">

blah blah blah

turns into:

<p>blah blah blah</p>

<p><img src="monkey.jpg"></p>

<p>blah blah blah</p>

We can fix it with this:

function filter_ptags_on_images($content){
   return preg_replace('/<p>\s*(<a .*>)?\s*(<img .* \/>)\s*(<\/a>)?\s*<\/p>/iU', '\1\2\3', $content);
}

add_filter('the_content', 'filter_ptags_on_images');

For your functions.php file, or, see Reference URL for a plugin. With this in place, we get:

<p>blah blah blah</p>

<img src="monkey.jpg">

<p>blah blah blah</p>

... meaning things like floating the images will be much easier.

wordpress Remove Link to the WLW Manifest File

wordpress Remove LI Elements From Output of wp_nav_menu

by in , 0

You can remove or change the <ul> container that you get by default with wp_nav_menu (codex) through parameters, but you can't remove the <li> elements that wrap each menu item. This is how you can actually remove them:

$menuParameters = array(
  'container'       => false,
  'echo'            => false,
  'items_wrap'      => '%3$s',
  'depth'           => 0,
);

echo strip_tags(wp_nav_menu( $menuParameters ), '<a>' );

wordpress Remove Admin Bar For Subscribers

by in , 0

You might want open registration on your WordPress site so that (for one small example) people can log in and leave comments on things without needing to type their name/url/email every time. But these users probably don't need to see the whole top admin bar as there likely isn't much use in it for them. Although do be sure to provide a link to edit their profile and log out.

This would be for your functions.php file or functionality plugin:

add_action('set_current_user', 'cc_hide_admin_bar');
function cc_hide_admin_bar() {
  if (!current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
    show_admin_bar(false);
  }
}

wordpress Recent Posts Function

by in , 0

Technique #1

This function is useful when you need to display content, excerpt, custom fields, or anything related to the post beyond it's link and title. If you just need a list of linked titles, see the next technique. Put the following function in functions.php

function recent_posts($no_posts = 10, $excerpts = true) {

   global $wpdb;

   $request = "SELECT ID, post_title, post_excerpt FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type='post' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT $no_posts";

   $posts = $wpdb->get_results($request);

   if($posts) {

               foreach ($posts as $posts) {
                       $post_title = stripslashes($posts->post_title);
                       $permalink = get_permalink($posts->ID);

                       $output .= '<li><h2><a href="' . $permalink . '" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: ' . htmlspecialchars($post_title, ENT_COMPAT) . '">' . htmlspecialchars($post_title) . '</a></h2>';

                       if($excerpts) {
                               $output.= '<br />' . stripslashes($posts->post_excerpt);
                       }

                       $output .= '</li>';
               }

       } else {
               $output .= '<li>No posts found</li>';
       }

   echo $output;
}

Usage

After you've made the function. Put the following in the sidebar or wherever you like the recent posts to list..

<?php recent_posts(); ?>

You can give it 2 arguments, the first is the number of posts and the second is whether or not you want to display the excerpts. so recent_posts(2, false) will display the 2 most recent post titles.

Technique #2

<?php wp_get_archives( array(

    'type'            => 'postbypost',   // or daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
    'limit'           => 10,   // maximum number shown
    'format'          => 'html',   // or select (dropdown), link, or custom (then need to also pass before and after params for custom tags
    'show_post_count' => false,    // show number of posts per link
    'echo'            => 1     // display results or return array

) ); ?>

Technique #3

More succinct version of #1, which also includes a more standardized query string.

<?php
   $recentposts = get_posts('numberposts=12&category=4');
   foreach ($recentposts as $post) :
       setup_postdata($post); ?>
       <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

wordpress Prevent CSS Caching

by in , 0

WordPress:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); echo '?' . filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/style.css'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

bbPress:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); echo '?' . filemtime( bb_get_active_theme_directory() . '/style.css'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Adds stylesheet with time of last update. If the number changes the browser updates the CSS instead of using cached version. Easily amended to be none WP specific.

wordpress Output Excerpt Manually

by in , 0

There is always the_excerpt(), but that does some pretty specific stuff (e.g. adding paragraph tags, adding [...], not respect the more comment, use the saved excerpt...). Advanced Excerpt is pretty good at customizing that.

If you want to get real simple though:

<?php 
  $content = get_the_content(); 
  echo substr(strip_tags($content), 0, 130) . '...'; 
?>

This is a direct edit to a core file: /wp-includes/query.php Note the plus signs in the above code indicate new lines to add.

Author Notes:

A client wanted me to setup a custom field called "Guide Rank" which allowed them to assign #1 - 20 for a list of Bars they were posting about.

After running the posts query I found that the meta_value was being treated as a string and as such the sort order was jumbled:

eg. 1, 10, 2, 3css-tricks.comC 7 , 8 , 9

To get WordPress/MySQL to use "Natural Sort Order" you just need to apply +0 to the field name and it'll be treated as a number (eg. meta_value+0).

So that existing behavior is not interrupted I've just added the new type 'meta_value_num'.

My query line now looks like:

$guide_posts = new WP_Query("cat=12&meta_key=guide_rank&orderby=meta_value_num&order=ASC&showposts=10");

Which returns: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

This is up for inclusion in the WordPress trunk - so hopefully once it gets applied there should be no need for manually editing the file.

wordpress Make Archives.php Include Custom Post Types

wordpress List Posts, Highlight Current

by in , 0

WordPress lacks a wp_list_posts() function that might seem logical go with the robust and useful wp_list_pages() function. You can simulate it though, by using the get_posts() function and running your own loop through the results.

The parameters for get_posts() below are just examples, replace with your needs.

<ul>

    <?php
        $lastposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&orderby=rand&cat=-52');
        foreach($lastposts as $post) :
        setup_postdata($post); ?>

        <li<?php if ( $post->ID == $wp_query->post->ID ) { echo ' class="current"'; } else {} ?>>
            
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
            
        </li>

    <?php endforeach; ?>

</ul>

wp_list_pages() also has the feature of adding a class name of "current_page_item" to the list element when that page is the active one. Notice the opening list tag above, which replicates that functionality by seeing if the ID from the current query matches the ID from the current iteration of the loop.

wordpress Insert Images within Figure Element from Media Uploader

by in , 0

For your functions.php file or a functionality plugin:

function html5_insert_image($html, $id, $caption, $title, $align, $url) {
  $html5 = "<figure id='post-$id media-$id' class='align-$align'>";
  $html5 .= "<img src='$url' alt='$title' />";
  if ($caption) {
    $html5 .= "<figcaption>$caption</figcaption>";
  }
  $html5 .= "</figure>";
  return $html5;
}
add_filter( 'image_send_to_editor', 'html5_insert_image', 10, 9 );

It also takes what you enter as a caption and inserts it within the <figure> tag as a <figcaption>. Example inserted code:

<figure id='post-18838 media-18838' class='align-none'>
  <img src='http://youresite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/image.png' alt='Title of image'>
  <figcaption>Caption for image</figcaption>
</figure>

  $html5 .= "<img src='$url' alt='$title' />";
  if ($caption) {
    $html5 .= "<figcaption>$caption</figcaption>";
  }
  $html5 .= "</figure>";
  return $html5;
}
add_filter( 'image_send_to_editor', 'html5_insert_image', 10, 9 );
