First of, I'm new to using Wordpress so please excuse me if I ask something really stupid.
I want to completely remove wp-login and the register function, I don't want users to be able to register and don't want to show the option on my blog.
I did some research on this and all i get are results that explain how to hide the wp-login or change the url, which is not what i want.
Is there a function within wordpress to completly remove this from my blog? Or do i have to remove these pages from my source code?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Untick "Anyone Can Register" in "Settings" > "General" - I think that will take care of it. If you insist on taking the form down completely then this function would completely remove the login form, and yet still provide emergency access:
add_filter( 'wp_login_errors', 'my_login_lock_down', 90, 2 );
function my_login_lock_down( $errors, $redirect_to ){
// Get to the login form using: http://example.com/wp-login.php?secretform=secretcode
$secret_key = "secretform";
$secret_password = "secretcode";
if ( !isset( $_GET[ $secret_key ] ) || $_GET[ $secret_key ] != $secret_password ) {
login_header(__('Log In'), '', $errors);
echo "</div>";
do_action( 'login_footer' );
echo "</body></html>";
exit();
}
return $errors;
}

Good Day,
I have been trying to add verification badge to WordPress users but I no success. I tried using administrator to do the testing by checking if user has role administrator and trying to enter code here update_user_meta (display_name) but I wasn't able to add icons to the display name.
I have as well tried creating a custom field in user profile called verify_user (text field) .... In which I entered the value "verified" and saved ... I have been searching for hooks to use but haven't seen one. I'm not sure which hook/filter to use here
Please is there any solution to adding this verification icon to author's display name in which when the word "verified" is entered into the custom field created in user profile or any other approach available (e.g if user has specific role). I don't mind if the little structure I wrote above would be changed.
Thanks
I was able to get a solution which worked exactly as i wanted. For anyone who might have same task to tackle;
function add_verification_bagdge_to_authors($display_name) {
global $authordata;
if (!is_object($authordata))
return $display_name;
$icon_roles = array(
'administrator',
'verified_author',
);
$found_role = false;
foreach ($authordata->roles as $role) {
if (in_array(strtolower($role), $icon_roles)) {
$found_role = true;
break;
}
}
if (!$found_role)
return $display_name;
$result = sprintf('%s <i title="%s" class="fa fa-check-circle"></i>',
$display_name,
__('This is a Verified Author', 'text-domain-here')
);
return $result;
}
add_filter( 'the_author', 'add_verification_bagdge_to_authors' );
The way i was able to tackle this was to create a user role called Verified Author (using add_role() function from Wordpress Codex ), which will be the role assigned to verified author across the website. All Users with Admin Role are automatically Verified while user role has to be switched from either contributor/Author role to Verified Author.
The above code was able to do 98% of the task but when a verified author / administrator comments, their display name doesn't show the verified badge. I was able to use the below code to fix that (combining the code with a shortcode).
function my_comment_author( $author = '' ) {
// Get the comment ID from WP_Query
$comment = get_comment( $comment_ID );
if ( ! empty($comment->comment_author) ) {
if (!empty($comment->user_id)){
$user=get_userdata($comment->user_id);
$author=$user->display_name.' '. do_shortcode('[this_is_verified-sc]'); // This is where i used the shortcode
} else {
$author = $comment->comment_author;
}
} else {
$author = $comment->comment_author;
}
return $author;
}
add_filter('get_comment_author', 'my_comment_author', 10, 1);
Shortcode to return the Verified Badge if user is admin or verified author
function add_verification_bagdge_to_authors_sc($display_name) {
global $authordata;
if (!is_object($authordata))
return $display_name;
$icon_roles = array(
'administrator',
'verified_author',
);
$found_role = false;
foreach ($authordata->roles as $role) {
if (in_array(strtolower($role), $icon_roles)) {
$found_role = true;
break;
}
}
if (!$found_role)
return $display_name;
$result = sprintf('%s <i title="%s" class="fa fa-check-circle"></i>', $display_name, __('This is a Verified Author', 'text-domain-here') );
return $result;
}
add_shortcode( 'this_is_verified-sc', 'add_verification_bagdge_to_authors_sc' );
Please Note: Not all Magazine theme are properly coded / have a hard coded Block and module elements, so the verified badge might not work on their block / module element. I experienced this during the whole website design process, so we had to change up theme and the only modification i had to make to the new theme was to remove the html escape added to their block/module code, so that the icon can be rendered. i.e. in their module/block code they had something like this esc_html( the_author() ) and i removed the esc_html to have just the_author() an it all worked.
Its not really a straight forward solution but that is how i was able to tackle the task without using a plugin. Just add the codes to your functions.php file and that's it. I hope it helps someone.
Thanks to Kero for pointing me in the right direction, providing the code i was able to work with and manipulate
If you type "author/admin" after a wordpress website domain name (ie "mywebsite.com/author/admin") it will show you a list of all articles posted by the admin. I would like a user to be redirected to the homepage if they try to access this page.
I wanted to do redirect anyone who types in "2016" or "2017" as well. For example, if someone goes to my website and types in "mywebsite.com/2017" they would normally see a list of all articles from 2017 but I added this code to functions.php that now redirects them to the home page:
function redirect_to_home( $query ){
if(is_date() ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
}
} add_action( 'parse_query', 'redirect_to_home' );
If I change the "is_date" portion of that code to "is_author" it redirects the user anytime they type in "author/admin" but I can't figure out how to do both. I've tried adding two sets of code, one with "is_date" and one with "is_author" but I get a wordpress error when I try to save it. Is there a way to combine "is_date" and "is_author" into one set of code to redirect users in both cases?
You need || (or) comparison operator:
function redirect_to_home( $query ){
if(is_date() || is_author()) {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
}
} add_action( 'parse_query', 'redirect_to_home' );
Also have a look here for more comparison operators: https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_operators.asp
I'm setting up a WooCommerce shop for a client and he has requested that the user be redirected back to the login form after the reset password form has been submitted.
Is this possible? Which function controls this?
Thanks in advance.
A much cleaner solution is to redirect using the woocommerce_customer_reset_password action:
function woocommerce_new_pass_redirect( $user ) {
wp_redirect( get_permalink(woocommerce_get_page_id('myaccount')));
exit;
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_customer_reset_password', 'woocommerce_new_pass_redirect' );
This code can be placed in functions.php.
Someone asked me about doing this and I think I'm going to talk them out of it, but here's what I came up with so that you could see the message and then be redirected in 5 seconds. Add a message/link to let them know you'll be redirecting. Plus, this will last through a WooCommerce upgrade if you add the template file to your theme
Add the form-lost-password.php template file to your theme and add the following code:
if ( $_GET[reset] = true && ( 'lost_password' == $args['form']) ) {
$my_account_url = get_site_url() . '/my-account';
echo "<script>window.setTimeout(function(){window.location.replace('$my_account_url')}, 5000)</script>";
}
If you dont want the time delay get rid of the window.setTimeout() and just use window.location.replace('$my_account_url').
I'm just facing the same question. I think the function that controls this is in the file woocommerce/includes/class-wc-form-handler.php. I changed the following line:
wp_redirect( add_query_arg( 'reset', 'true', remove_query_arg( array( 'key', 'login' ) ) ) );
with
wp_redirect( get_permalink( get_option('woocommerce_myaccount_page_id') ) );
With that change, you get redirected to the my-account page, where the customer can log in, but of course there are two problems doing that:
The customer gets no message the the password recovery was successful
Doing a WooCommerce update, the file gets overwritten with the original file
Would be great, if someone could come up with a "update-secure" solution.

I am trying to add a tracking mechanism to my wordpress plugin. And I want to use the WP cron mechanism. So I have an options page and when users save all options I want to use a hook to remove or add the tracking to the wp cron depending of the admins choice.
But right now I am stuck.
I have:
register_setting ( 'my-settings-group', 'myplugin_tracking');
add_action ( 'update_option_myplugin_tracking', 'myplugin_schedule_tracking' );
function myplugin_schedule_tracking($old_value, $new_value)
{
echo "Setting is updated!";
echo $old_value;
}
But this does not seem to work. I also used:
add_filter ( 'update_option_myplugin_tracking', 'myplugin_schedule_tracking' );
The option is saved in a form that posts to the options.php if that matters.
What am I doing wrong? Hope somebody can help out as I cannot find much information about doing something upon updating an option!
Thank you.
Okay this seems to work after all.
register_setting ( 'my-settings-group', 'myplugin_tracking');
function myplugin_schedule_tracking($old_value, $new_value)
{
if ($old_value !== $new_value)
{
if ($new_value == '')
{
wp_clear_scheduled_hook( 'myplugin_tracking' );
}
elseif ($new_value == 'on' && $current_schedule == FALSE)
{
wp_schedule_event( time(), 'hourly', 'myplugin_tracking' );
}
}
}
add_filter ( 'update_option_myplugin_tracking', 'myplugin_schedule_tracking', 10, 2);
add_action ( 'myplugin_tracking', 'myplugin_tracking' );
In the function myplugin_tracking you do whatever you have to do to track.
My problem was that I did not see the echo on the screen but it did appear to work after all.
Perhaps not the best code but it may be helpful for others :-)
I have added a menu using add_menu_page which all works correctly, but when clicked I want this menu page to open the post editor for a particular post id.
As a proof of concept i have tried echoing a javascript redirect out into the do function like so...
// Load up the menu page
function register_availability_custom_menu_page() {
add_menu_page('custom menu title', 'Availability', 'add_users', 'options', 'options_do_page');
}
function options_do_page() {
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">";
echo "window.location = '/whatever_page.php';";
echo "</script>";
}
This approach does work but I was wondering if it is the best approach, is there a better way to redirect to the page I am after?
UPDATE
I have now also tried using wp_redirect with this code...
add_action( 'admin_menu' , 'admin_menu_new_items' );
function admin_menu_new_items() {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
}
This gives me a Headers already sent error, can anyone suggest where I am going wrong?
If I'm understanding this correctly, you don't need the redirect. Instead of using a $menu_slug in the function add_menu_page, put the address of the target page, e.g.:
$the_post_title = 'The Portfolio';
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wpse_59050_add_menu' );
function wpse_59050_add_menu()
{
global $the_post_title;
$our_page = get_page_by_title( $the_post_title );
$settings_page = add_menu_page(
'Edit '.$our_page->post_title,
'Edit '.$our_page->post_title,
'add_users',
'/post.php?post='.$our_page->ID.'&action=edit',
'',
'',
2
);
}
This function is from the following WordPress Answer: Highlighting a Menu Item by Post Name. You'll need some jQuery to do the correct highlighting of this top level menu, check both my and TheDeadMedic answers in that Q.
This other one is useful too: Add highlighting to new Admin Dashboard Menu Item.
Recently did this for pootle page builder, and this AFAIK is the best way,
/**
* Redirecting from Page Builder > Add New page
* #since 0.1.0
*/
function add_new() {
global $pagenow;
if ( 'admin.php' == $pagenow && 'page_builder_add' == filter_input( INPUT_GET, 'page' ) ) {
header( 'Location: ' . admin_url( 'whatever-page.php' ) );
die();
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_new' );
Replace page_builder_add with your page slug and admin_url( 'whatever-page.php' ) with url you wanna redirect to.
We always use scrutinizer-ci for best code practices and maintain code score greater than 9.5/10, so all code (Including this) is secure and optimized ;)
Lemme know how it works for ya.
Cheers
I found a 2-step solution that doesn't use JS/JQ.
Step 1:
Near the top of your script, put the following PHP to display CSS that hides your first page:
add_action('admin_head', 'hide_my_first_page');
function hide_my_first_page(){
echo '<style>
a[href="admin.php?page=admin_menu_slug"] + ul > li.wp-first-item{
display: none;
}
</style>';
}
Where admin_menu_slug is the 4th argument passed to add_menu_page();.
Step 2:
Take the function of the page you want to run and pass it as the 5th argument in add_menu_page();
