Order website or plugin development for WordPress, website development on the Laravel, Symfony, or Yii2 framework…
WordPress (WP) has a universal function called `get_posts`, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work in 100% of cases. Sometimes, to get the desired result, you need to manually build an SQL query. I don’t really like doing that, since I don’t know all the ins and outs of WP’s internal mechanisms (such as where and when certain filters should be applied). But when the task requires it, you have to write custom SQL.
While developing another WordPress plugin, I needed an equivalent of the PHP ucfirst function, but in the mb_* version (i.e., for multibyte strings). Visiting php.net, I was surprised to find that such a function doesn't exist. After digging through the internet, I found one (or maybe two) solutions on Stack Overflow.
WordPress has a built-in widget by default called “Meta”. The functionality of this widget is quite simple. It displays a set of links that change dynamically depending on the user's login status. That is, whether the user is logged in or not. This widget displays the following links — site admin (or registration), login (or logout), post RSS, comment RSS, and .
In one of my projects, I needed to limit the number of links in the menu. I wanted to keep only the first two — registration and login — and remove the other three — RSS + WP — as unnecessary.
As you probably know, WordPress is a very widespread CMS — and people try to use it just about everywhere. Working on some projects, you can’t help but wonder: why use it here? Wouldn’t it be simpler and more efficient to use something built on a PHP framework? But trends are what they are — WordPress is used where it’s needed, and often where it isn’t.
Today’s post is not about whether WordPress should or shouldn’t be used in certain projects. Instead, you’ll learn how to generate a term array or build breadcrumbs for a post. It doesn’t matter what post type you’re using — a regular post or a custom post type — or whether the taxonomy is built-in or custom.
WP Rocket is one of the most popular caching plugins for WordPress, offering a rich set of features and flexibility.
WP Rocket has the ability to combine and minify JavaScript and CSS, generating a separate file for each. Additionally, it collects all inline JS/CSS from the site's HTML code and adds it to the aggregated cached files. This is certainly convenient, but in some cases — especially when used alongside other plugins — it can lead to errors or improper behavior.
