Shun the Plugin: 100 WordPress Code Snippets from Across the Net

Автор: Wpmu blog

A few weeks back it was thank a plugin developer day. I love those guys. They make me happy. But I love them so much that I end up filling my website with plugins to achieve things that I could achieve with code.

Nowadays I love code snippets. They’re handy, like a million times handy. They’re useful for developers and for people who want to customize their themes. Want to do something with WordPress and don’t know how? Just search for a snippet – someone will usually have done it already.

But what if you had 100 useful WordPress code snippets in one place? It’d be great, right? Surely no one could be bothered posting 100 snippets on a blog. That would take forever!

Yes, it did take forever.

Some Words of Warning

ALWAYS back up your site before making any changes to the code. You could end up with something as innocuous as too many spaces or you might come up against plugin compatibility. Even if you are 100% sure of something it is always worth taking precautions.
Leland has some good advice for theme developers who are using code snippets in their themes. / If you have two functions with the same name in your theme then it’s not going to work and you’re going to spend hours trying to figure out what the problem is. If you’re planning on using any of these snippets in themes or plugins that you’re going to create and release then you should consider renaming the functions to something individual to prevent problems later. You don’t want to end up with a whole bunch of angry emails. You’ll notice that some of the functions already have very distinctive names. You can read Andrew Nacin’s blog for more on this.

Basics

1. Increase Memory Limit

If you’ve got a lot of plugins or a lot of traffic you may need to increase your memory limit. You need to add this to your wp-config file:

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’96M’);

Source: WP Snippets

2. Empty Trash Automatically

Does what it says – set the number of days and reduce the size of your database.

define(‘EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS’, 5 );

Source: Tutzone

3. Filter the Loop

Filter which posts you want to show. This snippet is only showing “Featured.”

query_posts(‘showposts=5&category_name=featured’);
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
<h3><a href=«<?php the_permalink(); ?>«><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
endwhile; else:
endif;
wp_reset_query();

Source: WP Snippets

4. Loop the loop

Or… add a loop within the loop, but loop the loop sounds much cooler.

if (have_posts()) :

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); // the post loop
$temp_query = $wp_query; // store it
$args = array(
‘paged’ => $paged, // paginates
‘post_type’=>‘post’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 3,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’
);
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);

while ($wp_query—>have_posts()) : $wp_query—>the_post();
// — your new loop — //
>endwhile;

if (isset($wp_query)) {$wp_query = $temp_query;} // restore loop
>endwhile;

endif;

5. Detect Browser

If you want to use a different stylesheet for different browsers you can use HTML conditional tags or you can use this.

add_filter(‘body_class’,‘browser_body_class’);
function browser_body_class($classes) {

global $is_lynx, $is_gecko, $is_IE, $is_opera, $is_NS4, $is_safari, $is_chrome, $is_iphone;

if($is_lynx) $classes[] = ‘lynx’;

elseif($is_gecko) $classes[] = ‘gecko’;

elseif($is_opera) $classes[] = ‘opera’;

elseif($is_NS4) $classes[] = ‘ns4’;

elseif($is_safari) $classes[] = ‘safari’;

elseif($is_chrome) $classes[] = ‘chrome’;

elseif($is_IE) $classes[] = ‘ie’;

else $classes[] = ‘unknown’;

if($is_iphone) $classes[] = ‘iphone’;

return $classes;
}

6. Detect Mobile Users

If you want to serve up something special to your mobile visitors you can use this snippet to find out when they have arrived on your website. To achieve this you have to visit detectmobilebrowsers.mobi and upload it to your theme directory. Place at the top of your header file. Make sure you edit line 5 of this to your own theme.

include(‘mobile_device_detect.php’);
$mobile = mobile_device_detect();

if ($mobile==true) {
header( ‘Location: http://your-website.com/?theme=Your_Mobile_Theme’ ) ;
}

7. Leverage Browser Caching using .htaccess

This is a great snippet for speeding up your website. Paste it into .htaccess (remember to backup!)

## EXPIRES CACHING ##
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg «access 1 year»
ExpiresByType image/jpeg «access 1 year»
ExpiresByType image/gif «access 1 year»
ExpiresByType image/png «access 1 year»
ExpiresByType text/css «access 1 month»
ExpiresByType application/pdf «access 1 month»
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript «access 1 month»
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash «access 1 month»
ExpiresByType image/x-icon «access 1 year»
ExpiresDefault «access 2 days»
## EXPIRES CACHING ##

8. Include jQuery the right way

WordPress already includes a copy of jQuery so there is actually no need to upload it on to your server. It must be above the wp_head function

<?php wp_enqueue_script(«jquery»); ?>

You can now call your script after the wp_head function.

9. Switch on Maintenance Mode

Need a quick maintenance mode? Use this snippet. Just comment it out when you don’t want it switched on.

function maintenace_mode() {

if ( !current_user_can( ‘edit_themes’ ) || !is_user_logged_in() ) {
die(‘Maintenance.’);
}
}
add_action(‘get_header’, ‘maintenace_mode’);

Source: WP Snippets

10. Simpler Login Address

Find the default login address too cumbersome? You can change this by editing your .htaccess. Before to back it up before tinkering. Add this before the default WordPress code:

RewriteRule ^login$ http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php [NC,L]

11. Remove WordPress 3.1 Admin Bar

It’s not been released yet but WordPress 3.1 comes with an admin bar a la WordPress.com. Here’s how to remove it:

remove_action(‘init’, ‘wp_admin_bar_init’);

Source: WP Recipes

12. Limit Post Revisions

I love the autosave function but I do end up with loads of post revisions. Use this to limit the number.

# Maximum 5 revisions #
define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 5);
# Disable revisions #
define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false);

Source: Lava 360

13. Set Autosave time

WordPress’ autosave is very handy. This snippet lets you specify how often it happens. Copy to your wp-config.php

# Autosave interval set to 5 Minutes #
define(‘AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL’, 300);

Branding

14. Customize WordPress Login Logo Without a Plugin

This is great for people building websites for clients who want to have their own branding all over the installation.

function my_custom_login_logo() {
echo ‘<style type=«text/css»>
h1 a { background-image:url(‘.get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’).‘/images/custom-login-logo.gif) !important; }
</style>‘;
}
add_action(‘login_head’, ‘my_custom_login_logo’);

Source: WP Recipes

15. Change Admin Logo

Don’t just change your login logo, change your admin logo as well. Make sure you add your admin_logo.png to your images folder.

function custom_admin_logo() {
echo ‘<style type=«text/css»>
#header-logo { background-image: url(‘.get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’).‘/images/admin_logo.png) !important; }
</style>‘;
}
add_action(‘admin_head’, ‘custom_admin_logo’);

Source: WP Snippets

16. Change Footer Text in WP Admin

This goes nicely with the change of logo. Change the footer text to anything you like:

function remove_footer_admin () {
echo ‘Siobhan is Awesome. Thank you <a href=«http://wordpress.org»>WordPress</a> for giving me this filter.’;
}
add_filter(‘admin_footer_text’, ‘remove_footer_admin’);

17. Dynamic Copyright Date in Footer

Your footer should display your copyright something along the lines of 2005 – 2011. Usually people only have the current year, or they have some time in the past because they haven’t updated it. Use this snippet to make the date dynamic so you don’t have to worry about it every again.

Then insert this into your footer:

<?php echo comicpress_copyright(); ?>

Source: WP Beginner

18.Add Favicon

Everyone loves a favicon. They’re so cute! Use this in your functions.php to add one:

<span style=«font-weight: normal;»> </span>
// add a favicon to your
function blog_favicon() {
echo ‘<link rel=«Shortcut Icon» type=«image/x-icon» href=«‘.get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’).‘/favicon.ico» />‘;
}
add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘blog_favicon’);

21. Remove sub menus from admin panel

You can also remove sub menus. You can find the sub menu names in wp-admin/menu.php

function remove_submenus() {

global $submenu;
unset($submenu[‘index.php’][10]); // Removes ‘Updates’.
unset($submenu[‘themes.php’][5]); // Removes ‘Themes’.
unset($submenu[‘options-general.php’][15]); // Removes ‘Writing’.

22. Add Custom Dashboard Widgets

Want additional dashboard widgets to give some info to your clients? Use this snippet:

add_action(‘wp_dashboard_setup’, ‘my_custom_dashboard_widgets’);
function my_custom_dashboard_widgets() {

global $wp_meta_boxes;
wp_add_dashboard_widget(‘custom_help_widget’, ‘Theme Support’, ‘custom_dashboard_help’);
}
function custom_dashboard_help() {
echo ‘<p>Welcome to Custom Blog Theme! Need help? Contact the developer <a href=«mailto:yourusername@gmail.com»>here</a>. For WordPress Tutorials visit: <a href=«http://www.wpbeginner.com» target=«_blank»>WPBeginner</a></p>‘;
}

23. Hide update message

If you don’t want clients to be able to update WordPress themselves you could use this piece of code to hide the nag message.

add_action(‘admin_menu’,‘wphidenag’);
function wphidenag() {
remove_action( ‘admin_notices’, ‘update_nag’, 3 );
}

Source: WP Beginner

24. Edit the Help dropdown

This could come in handy if you are creating websites for clients and you want to add extra contextual help.

//hook loading of new page and edit page screens
add_action(‘load-page-new.php’,‘add_custom_help_page’);
add_action(‘load-page.php’,‘add_custom_help_page’);
function add_custom_help_page() {
//the contextual help filter
add_filter(‘contextual_help’,‘custom_page_help’);
}
function custom_page_help($help) {
//keep the existing help copy
echo $help;
//add some new copy
echo «<h5>Custom Features</h5>«;
echo «<p>Content placed above the more divider will appear in column 1. Content placed below the divider will appear in column 2.</p>«;
}

25. WordPress Relative Date

Instead of displaying the date that your post was posted, you can make it relative – “6 months ago” or “3 weeks ago” or whatever. Use this in your posts/comments/pages

# For posts & pages #
<?php echo human_time_diff(get_the_time(‘U’), current_time(‘timestamp’)) . ‘ ago’;
# For comments #
<?php echo human_time_diff(get_comment_time(‘U’), current_time(‘timestamp’)) . ‘ ago’; ?>

ob_end_clean();
$items .= ‘<li>‘ . $searchform . ‘</li>‘;

return $items;
}

27. Remove Title from WordPress Menu Links

The title attributes for your menu links can disrupt any jQuery that you’re using for a dropdown. Use this to remove it.

function my_menu_notitle( $menu ){

return $menu = preg_replace(‘/ title=«(.*?)«/’, », $menu );
}
add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu’, ‘my_menu_notitle’ );
add_filter( ‘wp_page_menu’, ‘my_menu_notitle’ );
add_filter( ‘wp_list_categories’, ‘my_menu_notitle’ );

28. Edit Navigation Output

Want more control over the navigation output? This is a great snippet for it. Place this in your functions.php file and edit the PHP for the results you want.

class description_walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu
{
function start_el(&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;$output, $item, $depth, $args)
{

global $wp_query;
$indent = ( $depth ) ? str_repeat( «t», $depth ) : »;
$class_names = $value = »;
$classes = empty( $item—>classes ) ? array() : (array) $item—>classes;
$class_names = join( ‘ ‘, apply_filters( ‘nav_menu_css_class’, array_filter( $classes ), $item ) );
$class_names = » : ‘«‘;
$output .= $indent . ‘
<li id=«menu-item-‘. $item—>ID . ‘«‘ . $value . $class_names .‘>‘;

If you want to keep widgets out of client’s hands you can use this snippet:

function unregister_default_wp_widgets() {
unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Calendar’);

function ga() { ?>
// Paste your Google Analytics code here
<?php } ?>

Text Editor

34. Set the Default Text Editor

Don’t like the default WYSIWYG editor? Change it the default to the HTML editor using functions.php

# This sets the Visual Editor as >default #
add_filter( ‘wp_default_editor’, create_function(», ‘return «tinymce»;‘) );
# This sets the HTML Editor as >default #
add_filter( ‘wp_default_editor’, create_function(», ‘return «html»;‘) );

Source: WP Snippets

35. Change the HTML Editor Font

Can’t stand courier? Use this to change your font. Paste into your functions.php

function change_editor_font(){
echo «<style type=‘text/css’>
#editorcontainer textarea#content {
font-family: Monaco, Consolas, «Andale Mono«, «Dejavu Sans Mono«, monospace;
font-size:14px;
color:#333;
}
</style>«;
} add_action(«admin_print_styles», «change_editor_font»);

37. Change the Spell Check Language

By default the language of the spell checker in English. You can change it with the following snippet (which allows English and German)

function fb_mce_external_languages($initArray){

return $initArray;
}
add_filter(‘tiny_mce_before_init’, ‘fb_mce_external_languages’);

Users

38. Add Custom User Contact Info

WordPress, for some reason, still asks you to fill in your AIM and Yahoo IM. I don’t know about you but I haven’t logged into Yahoo IM for about 3 years, and AIM since before 2000. User this snippet to change it to the social media you actually use.

/* BEGIN Custom User Contact Info */
function extra_contact_info($contactmethods) {
unset($contactmethods[‘aim’]);
unset($contactmethods[‘yim’]);
unset($contactmethods[‘jabber’]);
$contactmethods[‘facebook’] = ‘Facebook’;
$contactmethods[‘twitter’] = ‘Twitter’;
$contactmethods[‘linkedin’] = ‘LinkedIn’;

return $contactmethods;
}
add_filter(‘user_contactmethods’, ‘extra_contact_info’);
/* END Custom User Contact Info */

Then use this code wherever you want to display it:

Search

39. Highlight search terms

This is a nice one. Power up your search functionality by highlighting the search term in the results.
Open search.php and find the the_title() function
Replace with:

echo $title;

Above the modified line add:

<?php
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span>$title <span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span>= get_the_title();
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span>$keys= explode(» «,$s);
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span>$title <span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span>= preg_replace(‘/(‘.implode(‘|‘, $keys) .‘)/iu’,
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span>‘<strong class=«search-excerpt»>0</strong>‘,
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span>$title);
?>

Add the following to your style.css. Add:

strong.search-excerpt { background: yellow; }

40. Exclude Posts and Pages from Search Results

Sometimes you don’t want all of your posts and pages appearing in your search results. Use this snippet to shun whichever ones you want.

// search filter
function fb_search_filter($query) {

if ( !$query—>is_admin && $query—>is_search) {
$query—>set(‘post__not_in’, array(40, 9) ); // id of page or post
}

return $query;
}
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘fb_search_filter’ );

To exclude the subpage of a page you need to add it to the IS:

// search filter
function fb_search_filter($query) {

if ( !$query—>is_admin && $query—>is_search) {
$pages = array(2, 40, 9); // id of page or post
// find children to id
>foreach( $pages as $page ) {
$childrens = get_pages( array(‘child_of’ => $page, ‘echo’ => 0) );
}
// add id to array
>for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($childrens); ++$i) { $pages[] = $childrens[$i]—>ID;
}
$query—>set(‘post__not_in’, $pages );
}

return $query;
}
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘fb_search_filter’ );

Source: WPEngineer

41. Disable WordPress Search

There may be sites that you have where you don’t want users to be able to search. Use this snippet to remove the search functionality.

function fb_filter_query( $query, $error = true ) {

if ( is_search() ) {
$query—>is_search = false;
$query—>query_vars[s] = false;
$query—>query[s] = false;
// to error
>if ( $error == true )
$query—>is_404 = true;
}
}
add_action( ‘parse_query’, ‘fb_filter_query’ );
add_filter( ‘get_search_form’, create_function( ‘$a’, «return null;» ) );

42. Set a Maximum Word Count on Post Titles

Manage a blog with multiple users? Use this snippet to set a maximum word count on your titles.

function maxWord($title){

global $post;
$title = $post—>post_title;

if (str_word_count($title) >= 10 ) //set this to the maximum number of words
wp_die( __(‘Error: your post title is over the maximum word count.’) );
}
add_action(‘publish_post’, ‘maxWord’);

43. Set Minimum Word Count on Posts

Make those pesky authors write more:

function minWord($content){

global $post;
$num = 100; //set this to the minimum number of words
$content = $post—>post_content;

if (str_word_count($content) < $num) wp_die( __(‘Error: your post is below the minimum word count.’) ); } add_action(‘publish_post’, ‘minWord’);

Source: WP Recipes

44. Add Default Text to your Posts

add_filter( ‘default_content’, ‘my_editor_content’ );
function my_editor_content( $content ) {
$content = «This is some custom content I’m adding to the post editor because I hate re-typing it.»;

return $content;
}
?>

45. Add Custom Content Under Each Post

You may want to add a custom piece of content under each post – perhaps a copyright notice, some advertising or you could just say “thanks for reading!”

function add_post_content($content) {

if(!is_feed() && !is_home()) {
$content .= ‘<p>This article is copyright © ‘.date(‘Y’).‘ ‘.bloginfo(‘name’).‘</p>‘;
}

return $content;
}
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘add_post_content’);

Source: WP Recipes

46. Display Incremental Numbers Next to Each Published Post

This snippet lets you add numbers beside your posts. You could use Article 1, Article 2, Article 3; or Post 1, Post 2, Post 3; or whatever you want.

Add this to your functions:

function updateNumbers() {

global $wpdb;
$querystr = «SELECT $wpdb—>posts.* FROM $wpdb—>posts WHERE $wpdb—>posts.post_status = ‘publish’ AND $wpdb—>posts.post_type = ‘post’ «;
$pageposts = $wpdb—>get_results($querystr, OBJECT);
$counts = 0 ;

if ($pageposts):

foreach ($pageposts as $post):
setup_postdata($post);
$counts++;
add_post_meta($post—>ID, ‘incr_number’, $counts, true);
update_post_meta($post—>ID, ‘incr_number’, $counts);

endforeach;

endif;
}
add_action ( ‘publish_post’, ‘updateNumbers’ );
add_action ( ‘deleted_post’, ‘updateNumbers’ );
add_action ( ‘edit_post’, ‘updateNumbers’ );

Then add this within the loop:

<?php echo get_post_meta($post—>ID,‘incr_number’,true); ?>

47. Shorten the excerpt

Think the excerpt is too long? Use this snippet to shorten it. This shortens it to 20 words.

function new_excerpt_length($length) {

return 20;
}
add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘new_excerpt_length’);

Lists of Posts

48. Display Random Posts

Shows a nice list of some random posts. Stop your long lost posts from being forgotten. Paste this wherever you want it.

<ul><li><h2>A random selection of my writing</h2>
<ul>
<?php
$rand_posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=5&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;orderby=rand’);

foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :
?>
<li><a href=«<?php the_permalink(); ?>«><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</li></ul>

49. Display Most Popular Post from a Specific Category

Sometimes you might want to display only your popular posts from your “Featured” category, or your “books” category. Use this snippet to achieve it.

<?php
$args=array(
‘cat’ => 3,
‘orderby’ => ‘comment_count’,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 6,
‘caller_get_posts’=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);

if( $my_query—>have_posts() ) { ?>
<ul>
<?php while ($my_query—>have_posts()) : $my_query—>the_post(); ?>
<li><a href=«<?php the_permalink() ?>« rel=«bookmark» title=«Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>«><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php }

wp_reset_query(); ?>

56. Different RSS Feed for Each Custom Post Type/Taxonomy

This sounds like something which should be incredibly difficult. Actually, it’s not. All you have to do is append the custom post type to the URL:

http://www.yoursite.com/feed/?post_type=book

Then you can add a custom taxonomy to it too.

http://www.yoursite.com/feed/?post_type=book&genre=romance

60. Display Recent Comments with Gravatar

This is a nice way to achieve something simple without the use of a plugin. You can show off your latest comments in your sidebar, with the gravatar. Just paste this into your sidebar.php

<?php $comments = get_comments(‘status=approve&number=5‘); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) { ?>
<li>
<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, ’35’ ); ?>
<a href=«<?php echo get_permalink($comment—>ID); ?>#comment-<?php echo $comment—>comment_ID; ?>« title=«on <?php echo $comment—>post_title; ?>«> <?php echo strip_tags($comment—>comment_author); ?>: <?php echo wp_html_excerpt( $comment—>comment_content, 35 ); ?>… </a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>

61. Display Number of Comments

If you want a quick way to show off your number of comments you can add this to your sidebar.php

<?php
$commcount = $wpdb—>get_var(«SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb—>comments WHERE comment_approved = ‘1‘«);

if (0 < $commcount) $commcount = number_format($commcount);
echo «Our users have made «.$commcount.» comments, care to join in?«;
?>

62. Style Comments for Every Role

This lets you style the comments for different roles.

<ol id=«commentlist»>
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<?php // The extra stuff to get commenter‘s role
$user_id = $comment—>user_id;
$role = ( isset( $roles[$user_id] ) ? $roles[$user_id] : ‘‘ );
?>
<li>
<p>By <?php comment_author_link() ?> — <?php comment_date() ?></p>
<?php comment_text() ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ol>

Add this to your style.css

#commentlist li { border:2px solid white; } /* not logged or subscriber */
#commentlist li.administrator { border:2px solid red } /* blog admin */
#commentlist li.editor { border:2px solid blue } /* editor */

63. Add “Del” and “Spam” buttons to your comments

It can be a bit of a pain having to go to the admin area just to spam some piece of junk. You can use this snippet to add the “Del” and “Spam” buttons to your comments on the front end.
Add this to functions.php

function delete_comment_link($id) {

if (current_user_can(‘edit_post’)) {
echo ‘| <a href=«‘.admin_url(«comment.php?action=cdc&c=$id«).‘»>del</a> ‘;
echo ‘| <a href=»‘.admin_url(«comment.php?action=cdc&dt=spam&c=$id«).‘»>spam</a>‘;
}
}

Add the following after edit_comment_link()

delete_comment_link(get_comment_ID());

64. Remove Autolinks in Comments

Spammers love to leave links in your comments. Stop those urls from turning into links.

remove_filter(‘comment_text’, ‘make_clickable’, 9);

Source: WP Recipes

65. Disable HTML in Comments

This is very useful if you have lots of people posting pieces of code in your comments. No longer will it disappear!

// This will occur when the comment is posted
function plc_comment_post( $incoming_comment ) {
// convert everything in a comment to display literally
$incoming_comment[‘comment_content’] = htmlspecialchars($incoming_comment[‘comment_content’]);
// the one exception is single quotes, which cannot be #039; because WordPress marks it as spam
$incoming_comment[‘comment_content’] = str_replace( «‘», »’, $incoming_comment[‘comment_content’] );
return( $incoming_comment );
}
// This will occur before a comment is displayed
function plc_comment_display( $comment_to_display ) {
// Put the single quotes back in
$comment_to_display = str_replace( »’, «‘«, $comment_to_display );

return $comment_to_display;
}
add_filter( ‘preprocess_comment’, ‘plc_comment_post’, », 1);
add_filter( ‘comment_text’, ‘plc_comment_display’, », 1);
add_filter( ‘comment_text_rss’, ‘plc_comment_display’, », 1);
add_filter( ‘comment_excerpt’, ‘plc_comment_display’, », 1);

66. Separate Trackbacks from Comments

Trackbacks are great for acknowledging people who have linked to you and they help you to keep track of where your post has appeared. However, they can be annoying when they break up your comments. Use this snippet to separate them.

Find this in your comments.php

foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
// Comments are displayed here
endforeach;

And replace with this:

<ul class=«commentlist»>
<?php //Displays comments only

<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span>foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span><?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span><?php if($comment_type == ‘comment’) { ?>
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span> <li>//Comment code goes here</li>
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span><?php }

endforeach;
</ul>
<ul>
<?php //Displays trackbacks only

<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span>foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span><?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span><?php if($comment_type != ‘comment’) { ?>
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span> <li><?php comment_author_link() ?></li>
<span style=«white-space: pre;«> </span><?php }
endforeach;
</ul>

Authors

67. Change Name to Guest Author

Often guest authors will post one time only. You don’t want to set up an account for them so you post under your own name. You can use this snippet along with custom fields to change the post author name to the guest author. Add this to your functions:

add_filter( ‘the_author’, ‘guest_author_name’ );
add_filter( ‘get_the_author_display_name’, ‘guest_author_name’ );
function guest_author_name( $name ) {

global $post;
$author = get_post_meta( $post—>ID, ‘guest-author’, true );

if ( $author )
$name = $author;

return $name;
}

Then add a custom field called guest-author and put the author’s name into the value.

68. Insert Author Box

Give your hardworking blog authors the credit they deserve. To insert an author box beneath a post insert this into your single.php after the article tags:

<div>
<div>
<div><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), ’80’ ); ?></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><?php the_author_meta( «display_name» ); ?></div>
<div><?php the_author_meta( «user_description» ); ?></div>
<div><?php if (get_the_author_url()) { ?><a href=«<?php the_author_url(); ?>«>Visit <?php the_author(); ?>‘s website</a><?php } else { } ?></div>
</div>
<div></div>
</div>

And here’s some CSS to make it pretty.

.author-box { padding: 10px; background: #ccc; border: 1px solid #333;}
.author-left {float:left; width: 80px; margin: 0 15px 0 0;}
.author-right {float:left; font-size: 13px; margin: 5px 0 0 10px;}
.author-pic {border: 1px solid: #ccc;}
.author-name {font-weight:bold;}
.author-bio {padding: 5px 0 5px 0;}
.author-url {color: #555;}
.author-url a {color: #000;}
.author-url a:hover {color: #333;}
.clear {clear:both}

69. Highlight Post Author Comments

This one is very useful for sites with multiple authors. The snippet only highlights the post author, as opposed to all of the authors on the site.
Insert this into your CSS file:

.commentlist .bypostauthor {
/* — Add a darker border — */
border: 1px #bbb solid;
/* — CSS3 Linear Gradient — */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#f5f5f5), to(#ddd));
background: -moz-linear-gradient(0% 100% 90deg,#ddd, #f5f5f5);
/* — CSS3 Shadow — */
-webkit-box-shadow:0px 0 50px #ddd;
-moz-box-shadow:0px 0 50px #ddd;
box-shadow:0px 0 50px #ddd;
}

Security

70. Force Users to Log in Before Reading a Post

If there are certain posts that you want to restrict, whether they for a few people only, or for paying subscribers, or whatever, you can use this snippet to force users to login to see them. Paste this into your functions file:

function my_force_login() {

global $post;

if (!is_single()) return;
$ids = array(188, 185, 171); // array of post IDs that force login to read

if (in_array((int)$post—>ID, $ids) && !is_user_logged_in()) {
auth_redirect();
}
}

And then put this at the top of your header:

<?php my_force_login(); ?>

72. Change the default admin name

It’s a good idea to not have a username called “admin” as it means that any hackers already have access to your username. If you already have a default called “admin” you can change it with this snippet in your SQL database. Make sure to put in your new username.

UPDATE wp_users SET user_login = ‘Your New Username’ WHERE user_login = ‘Admin’;

75. Only allow your own IP address to access your admin

If you’ve got a static IP and you want to improve your security this is a good snippet. Don’t bother if you have a dynamic IP though. It would get very annoying.

# my ip address only
order deny,allow
allow from MY IP ADDRESS (replace with your IP address)
deny from all

Source: WP Zine

76. Prevent Access to WP-Admin

This code snippet is handy for preventing subscribers from having access to /wp-admin/. You can change the wp_user_level to whichever roles you want.

# Disable access to wp-admin for Subscribers

if ( is_user_logged_in() && is_admin() ) {

global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$user_info = get_userdata($current_user—>ID);

if ( $user_info—>wp_user_level == 0 )
{
header( ‘Location: ‘.get_bloginfo(‘home’).‘/wp-login.php?redirect=‘.get_bloginfo(‘home’).‘/wp-admin/’ );
}
}

Child Themes

83. Remove Unnecessary Widget Regions

Additional widget regions can get confusing for people if they aren’t using them. If you’re building a child theme for a client it’s a good idea to remove additional widget areas.

Here’s what the code looks like to register widgets in a theme framework:

//Code of the Framework to register 2 Sidebars

function xtreme_register_dynamic_sidebars() {
register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => ‘Sidebar One’,
‘id’ => ‘sidebar-one’,
‘description’ => ‘Sidebar One’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<li id=«%1$s» class=«widget %2$s»>‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</li>‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h5 class=«widget-title»>‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h5>‘
));
register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => ‘Sidebar Two’,
‘id’ => ‘sidebar-two’,
‘description’ => ‘Sidebar Two’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘ <li id=«%1$s» class=«widget %2$s»>‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</li>‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h5 class=«widget-title»>‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h5>‘
));
do_action(‘childtheme_sidebars’);
}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘xtreme_register_dynamic_sidebars’ );

What we’re interested in is do_action(‘childtheme_sidebars’);

Add this to your child theme’s functions.php

//functions.php im Child-Theme

function xtreme_unregister_sidebar() {
unregister_sidebar(‘sidebar-two’);
}
add_action( ‘childtheme_sidebars’, ‘xtreme_unregister_sidebar’ );

<?php
// This is amazingly helpful for child themes.

}

add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘remove_sidebar’);

Media

85. Automatically use Resized Images instead of originals

Replace your uploaded image with the large image generated by WordPress. This will save space on your server, and save bandwidth if you link your thumbnail to the original image. I love things that speed up your website.

function replace_uploaded_image($image_data) {
// if there is no large image : return

if (!isset($image_data[‘sizes’][‘large’])) return $image_data;
// paths to the uploaded image and the large image

$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$uploaded_image_location = $upload_dir[‘basedir’] . ‘/’ .$image_data[‘file’];
$large_image_location = $upload_dir[‘path’] . ‘/’.$image_data[‘sizes’][‘large’][‘file’];
// delete the uploaded image

unlink($uploaded_image_location);
// rename the large image

rename($large_image_location,$uploaded_image_location);
// update image metadata and return them

$image_data[‘width’] = $image_data[‘sizes’][‘large’][‘width’];
$image_data[‘height’] = $image_data[‘sizes’][‘large’][‘height’];

Advertising

90. Show Google Advert after first post

If you want to insert an advert after the first post you can use this snippet in index.php:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $loopcounter++; ?>
// the loop stuffs
<?php if ($loopcounter <= 1) { include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/ad.php’); } ?>

91. Show adverts after first paragraph of post

This can be quite handy for ensuring that your advertising is up to date site wide. Open your single.php file and find this:

<?php the_content(); ?>

Replace that code with this:

<?php
$paragraphAfter= 1; //display after the first paragraph

$content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, get_the_content());
$content = explode(«</p>«, $content);

for ($i = 0; $i <count($content); $i ) {

if ($i == $paragraphAfter) { ?>
<div>Your Text / Ads Go Here</div>
<?php }
echo $content[$i] . «</p>«;

foreach ($SE as $source) {

if (strpos($ref,$source)!==false) {
setcookie(«sevisitor», 1, time()+3600, «/», «.wpbeginner.com»);

}
}
function wpbeginner_from_searchengine(){

if ($sevisitor==true || $_COOKIE[«sevisitor»]==1) {

return >true;
}

return >false;
}

Make sure you change .wpbeginner.com to your own domain.

function newgravatar ($avatar_defaults) {
$myavatar = get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’) . ‘/images/gravatar.gif’;
$avatar_defaults[$myavatar] = «WPBeginner»;

return $avatar_defaults;
}
