I want to echo something after header tag in single pages.
I have a filter to add something before content.
function add_custom_meta_to_content($content) {
$queried_object = get_queried_object();
if ( $queried_object ) {
$post_id = $queried_object->ID;
}
$text = get_post_meta($post_id, 'textbox_wporg_meta_key', true);
if( is_single() ) {
$content = $text . '' . $content;
}
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content','add_custom_meta_to_content' );
But Now I want add some data exactly after header tag in single pages by my plugin.
I don't want to edit theme codes.
How can I do that?
You wouldn't normally do this with the the_content filter. Almost all commercial themes would have a specific hook to insert additional code after the post title and before the main content. For instance, the Generatepress framework would enable you to hook into the generate_after_entry_title action hook and you would output additional code there.
I am trying to be clever, but this is a bit beyond my abilities.
I have products with tags, these tags denote if something is environmentally friendly or not. Some of these tags are "biodegradable", compostable" and "recycled" for example.
If a product has these tags, I want to echo it on the front end.
I have the code to do this, and it is working as expected:
$current_tags = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'product_tag' );
//only start if we have some tags
if ( $current_tags && ! is_wp_error( $current_tags ) ) {
//create a list to hold our tags
echo '<ul class="product_tags">';
//for each tag we create a list item
foreach ($current_tags as $tag) {
$tag_title = $tag->name; // tag name
echo '<li><img src="/img/tags/'.$tag_title.'.png"></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
However, the only way to get this working is for me to edit content-single-product.php or single-product.php and place it in my theme in the woocommerce folder.
Is there a better way?
I'd like to control exactly where in the source order of that page it is displayed.
Figured it out. In functions.php:
/**
* Add test
*/
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'tjobbetest', 5 );
function tjobbetest() {
$current_tags = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'product_tag' );
//only start if we have some tags
if ( $current_tags && ! is_wp_error( $current_tags ) ) {
//create a list to hold our tags
echo '<ul class="product_tags">';
//for each tag we create a list item
foreach ($current_tags as $tag) {
$tag_title = $tag->name; // tag name
echo '<li><img src="/img/tags/'.$tag_title.'.png"></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
}
I want to add a symbol (the Hash symbol - #) before every category displayed inside the list display categoris widget in wordpress.
I am not adding the WP_Widget_Categories code to the post question because it is the very basic one that anyone will find with wordpress.
Anyway I am trying to make something like this:
Example
That's all. I started to study php from a few days and I don't know how to do this, any help will be really appriciated.
You can use a filter to modify the results generated by the default categories widget. Try adding this in your functions file:
function modify_widget_categories_listing( $content ) {
return "#$content";
}
add_filter( 'list_cats', 'modify_widget_categories_listing', 10, 2 );
You may have to make some changes to what is being returned to get exactly what you're looking for, but that's the gist of it.
Put this in your functions.php
function show_categories_with_hash() {
$terms = get_terms( 'categories' );
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
$term_link = get_term_link( $term );
if ( is_wp_error( $term_link ) ) {
continue;
}
echo '<li>#' . $term->name . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
Trying to get my post meta from posts using shrotcodes and then displaying it on the content.This is the code that's trying to do this:
$string = '';
$custom_content = get_post_custom($post->ID);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$content = get_the_content();
$bonus = $custom_content["bonus"];
$string .= $content . $bonus . '<br>';
endwhile;
}
return $string;
It's not working as the custom content returns empty. Whats wrong? Thanks in advance
I don't think you got the shortcode idea, you should read some info about add_shortcode() also you can use get_post_meta() to retriev the metadata from the database.
Here is an example on how you can achieve this but this will only work with the main loop (as default):
<?php
//you can put this code in functions.php or you can build a plugin for it
function metadata_in_content($attr) {
//this is the function that will be triggerd when the code finds the proper shortcode in the content; $attr is the parameter passed throw the shortcode (leave null for now)
global $wpdb, $wp_query;
//we need global $wpdb to query the database and to get the curent post info
if (is_object($wp_query->post)) {
$post_id = $wp_query->post->post_id;// here we save the post id
$metadata = get_post_meta( $post_id, $key, $single ); // here we get the needed meta, make sure you place the correct $key here, also if you don't want to get an array as response pass $single as "true"
return $metadata; // this finally replaces the shortcode with it's value
}
}
add_shortcode('insert_metadata', 'metadata_in_content');
//the above code hooks the metadata_in_content function to the [insert_metadata] shortcode
?>
Now all it's left to do is to place [insert_metadata] in the post content and things should work.
What PHP code can be used to retrieve the current page name in a WordPress theme?
All the solutions I have seen so far:
the_title()
get_page()->post_name
get_post()
etc.
But these don't work for a page that contains post entries. They will all return the name of the latest blog entry.
Stated another way, assume that you have a page created in WordPress with the name "My News". This page is set as the "post page". Add a couple of posts to the page.
Now, what API can be used to retrieve the string "my-news" instead of the name of the latest post?
I've found the following variable which seems to work.
$wp_query->queried_object->post_name
This is actually the URL friendly version of the page name (slug), which is what I was looking for too. This was tested with the default template (Twenty Ten). I'm really not sure why the two variables given below do not work on my site. Thanks to keatch for the print_r() tip.
Now, why is this information hidden so deep down?
The WordPress global variable $pagename should be available for you. I have just tried with the same setup you specified.
$pagename is defined in the file wp-includes/theme.php, inside the function get_page_template(), which is of course is called before your page theme files are parsed, so it is available at any point inside your templates for pages.
Although it doesn't appear to be documented, the $pagename var is only set if you use permalinks. I guess this is because if you don't use them, WordPress doesn't need the page slug, so it doesn't set it up.
$pagename is not set if you use the page as a static front page.
This is the code inside /wp-includes/theme.php, which uses the solution you pointed out when $pagename can't be set:
--
if ( !$pagename && $id > 0 ) {
// If a static page is set as the front page, $pagename will not be set. Retrieve it from the queried object
$post = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$pagename = $post->post_name;
}
My approach to get the slug name of the page:
$slug = basename(get_permalink());
<?php wp_title(''); ?>
This worked for me.
If I understand correctly, you want to get the page name on a page that has post entries.
Ok, you must grab the page title before the loop.
$page_title = $wp_query->post->post_title;
Check for the reference: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Properties.
Do a
print_r($wp_query)
before the loop to see all the values of the $wp_query object.
You can get the current page, post, or custom post type with the global variable $post:
echo $post->post_title
Note: In a function or class you'll need to specify global $post; prior to trying to use $post.
If you have loops on your page, make sure you end each loop with wp_reset_postdata(); to set $post back to the default item being displayed (the page).
Note, the 'post_title' variable is also available for any custom loop / query... including menu items and media attachments... everything in WordPress is a 'post'.
We just need to use the "post" global variable:
global $post;
echo $post->post_title;
This will echo the current page/post title.
If you're looking to access the current page from within your functions.php file (so, before the loop, before $post is populated, before $wp_query is initialized, etc...) you really have no choice but to access the server variables themselves and extract the requested page from the query string.
$page_slug = trim( $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] , '/' )
Note that this is a "dumb" solution. It doesn't know, for instance that the page with the slug 'coming-soon' is also p=6. And it assumes that your permalink settings are set to pagename (which they should be anyway!).
Still, can be a useful little trick if you have a controlled scenario. I'm using this in a situation where I wish to redirect non-logged in visitors to a "coming soon" page; but I have to make sure that I'm not throwing them into the dreaded "redirect loop", so I need to exclude the "coming soon" page from this rule:
global $pagenow;
if (
! is_admin() &&
'wp-login.php' != $pagenow &&
'coming-soon' != trim( $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] , '/' ) &&
! is_user_logged_in()
){
wp_safe_redirect( 'coming-soon' );
}
I believe that the Roots starter theme has a fantastic function to get the current page title. It is very hackable, covers all bases, and can be easily used with the wp_title hook.
/**
* Page titles
*/
function roots_title() {
if (is_home()) {
if (get_option('page_for_posts', true)) {
echo get_the_title(get_option('page_for_posts', true));
} else {
_e('Latest Posts', 'roots');
}
} elseif (is_archive()) {
$term = get_term_by('slug', get_query_var('term'), get_query_var('taxonomy'));
if ($term) {
echo $term->name;
} elseif (is_post_type_archive()) {
echo get_queried_object()->labels->name;
} elseif (is_day()) {
printf(__('Daily Archives: %s', 'roots'), get_the_date());
} elseif (is_month()) {
printf(__('Monthly Archives: %s', 'roots'), get_the_date('F Y'));
} elseif (is_year()) {
printf(__('Yearly Archives: %s', 'roots'), get_the_date('Y'));
} elseif (is_author()) {
$author = get_queried_object();
printf(__('Author Archives: %s', 'roots'), $author->display_name);
} else {
single_cat_title();
}
} elseif (is_search()) {
printf(__('Search Results for %s', 'roots'), get_search_query());
} elseif (is_404()) {
_e('Not Found', 'roots');
} else {
the_title();
}
}
Try this:
$pagename = get_query_var('pagename');
I have come up with a simpler solution.
Get the returned value of the page name from wp_title(). If empty, print homepage name, otherwise echo the wp_title() value.
<?php $title = wp_title('', false); ?>
Remember to remove the separation with the first argument and then set display to false to use as an input to the variable. Then just bung the code between your heading, etc. tags.
<?php if ( $title == "" ) : echo "Home"; else : echo $title; endif; ?>
It worked a treat for me and ensuring that the first is declared in the section where you wish to extract the $title, this can be tuned to return different variables.
Use:
$title = get_the_title($post);
$parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
echo $title;
echo $parent_title;
This seems to be the easiest to use:
<?php single_post_title(); ?>
One option, if you're looking for the actual queried page, rather than the page ID or slug is to intercept the query:
add_action('parse_request', 'show_query', 10, 1);
Within your function, you have access to the $wp object and you can get either the pagename or the post name with:
function show_query($wp){
if ( ! is_admin() ){ // heck we don't need the admin pages
echo $wp->query_vars['pagename'];
echo $wp->query_vars['name'];
}
}
If, on the other hand, you really need the post data, the first place to get it (and arguably in this context, the best) is:
add_action('wp', 'show_page_name', 10, 1);
function show_page_name($wp){
if ( ! is_admin() ){
global $post;
echo $post->ID, " : ", $post->post_name;
}
}
Finally, I realize this probably wasn't the OP's question, but if you're looking for the Admin page name, use the global $pagenow.
Within the WordPress Loop:
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
/******************************************/
echo get_the_title();
/******************************************/
endwhile; endif;
This will show you the current page title.
For reference: get_the_title()
Here's my version:
$title = ucwords(str_replace('-', ' ', get_query_var('pagename')));
get_query_var('pagename') was just giving me the page slug. So the above replaces all the dashes, and makes the first letter of each word uppercase - so it can actually be used as a title.
Show the title before the loop starts:
$page_title = $wp_query->post->post_title;
This is what I ended up using, as of 2018:
<section id="top-<?=(is_front_page() ? 'home' : basename(get_permalink()));?>">
I've now found this function on WordPress Codec,
get queried
which is a wrapper for $wp_query->get_queried_object.
This post put me in the right direction, but it seems that it needs this update.
This also works if you are in the functions.php. It is not the best approach since you have to use the global array, but it works.
First, we need to add a filter. There must exist a better filter to use than the template_include, but I don't know all of them. Please point me to the right one.
add_filter( 'template_include', 'var_template_include', 1000 );
function var_template_include( $template ){
global $wp_query;
$GLOBALS['current_page'] = $wp_query->get_queried_object()->post_name;
return $template;
}
Avoid using the variable directly
function get_current_page( $echo = false ) {
if( !isset( $GLOBALS['current_page'] ) )
return false;
return $GLOBALS['current_page'];
}
Now you can use the function get_current_page() in any other part of the functions.php.
