I need to edit the existing GA code on our WordPress website with a different code and i intend to do the same by using add header/footer script plugin but i don't know if that will replace the present code. I tried to find the same on the server to change via FTP (as with our magento site) but was unsuccessful, can anybody update me on the same please?
You should be able to edit this via the admin itself. If you use as plugin like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/
Otherwise, to edit GA, is not in the files itself, but within the admin. I would look within your admin, there is a lot of resource out there with wordpress integrations. You should almost never need to look in the code to find this. (that's the purpose of wordpress). I couldn't exactly say where yours is, but take a look at all your wordpress plugins/integrations and configurations.

currently I'm running into this issue, where external links are automatically set to no-follow by WordPress. As of now I wasn't able to detect the source of this behaviour.
The page uses the Classic Editor (v1.6.2) Plugin - however, the problem still occurs without the use of this Plugin.
There are a bunch of other plugins installed but those are not directly involved with the post editin feature of WordPress. Are there any clues which might cause this issue?
If you need any information I can provide.
Which other Plugins are you using?
Are you maybe using RankMath or another SEO Plugin?
These have a setting to make all external links with "rel=nofollow". You would need to deactivate this or add an exceptions for specific domains.
Check the settings.
So I am trying to customize my already running website via custom code
for better user experience etc.
I see a lot of people developing for WordPress via the code editor
and I simply can't find any information on how I can access my website
via a code editor and customize it with customer HTML, CSS, and javascript (or react.js)
and of course, PHP if necessary.
Could anyone please help me where I can find that information?
I would be very grateful!
Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I go to CPanel on my host and open File Manager. Scroll down to the public_html folder and the web site below that. Select a PHP file and click Edit. Beware, though, that updating the theme will wipe out any changes when taking this approach.
I am currently using a social media login plugin for my website that allows users to login via their social media account.
Currently the flow of the plugin works in a way such that after ANY user authenticate themselves through Facebook, they will be brought back to my site with 2 options, link their Facebook account with their site's account, or to register an account.
How can I edit my code such that I am able to remove the "registration account" part without editing the plugin code directly as this might affect future updates of the plugin itself. One way that I know will definitely work is to comment that section away in the plugins itself but I do not wish to touch the plugin code.
After researching, a possible way that I think might work is to apply a filter that removes the element but I am not sure if that is the correct workaround for this situation.
Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
Thank you!
I don't see a way to filter executed php code on your Wordpress website.
I got two ways of dealing with this:
1: Disallow people to register an account on your site. The registration link will probably not be displayed anymore.
2: Or comment out the code within the plugin. Remember where you edited the lines. Whenever the plugin gets an update, comment out those lines again. Or contact the owner of the plugin to issue a feature request.
I have tried to search but i was unable to find or i used the wrong keywords for that.
Here's my Question:
Is there a way to make the backend option of a wordpress plugin to be available in the front-end site so the users don't have to go to wp-admin to add/change things.
The plugin in question is http://wordpress.org/plugins/gw2-chars/, I was able to change the permission to allow the registered uses to see it on the back-end (instead of the default that just allowed for editor or above to use it).
Any help would be great appreciated.
Thanks
I'm working for a company that is using Wordpress MU to supplement other functions on a member site. We have a user signup process that creates the appropriate Wordpress MU users and blogs on signup, but I'm having real trouble figuring out how to log someone in to a WP blog from outside of Wordpress itself. The documentation these methods seem to be non-existent or just too obtuse for me.
In the abstract I know how to do it: Take user info, set the same cookie that Wordpress would set itself. Done. It is, however, not this simple.
Has anyone done this successfully before?
I've been able to log people into Wordpress, however I'm was running inside Wordpress. (I was inside a theme)
Basically, the tough part is getting all the hashes correct, because Wordpress uses a set of defined security hashes in the config file to create the cookie. Ideally you should be able to copy and paste the functions that Wordpress uses.
Yes Wordpress documentation for security sucks, but that is what you get in a Open Source application, not stellar documentation.
What you are looking for is the wp_set_auth_cookie function in the /wp-includes/pluggable.php file. You should look into what the do_action()s actually do, but you should be able to simply replace all the constants with the correct values, and you'll have a function that can port anywhere on the domain.
Hey, it's not so tough task, once you are using correct instruments ;)
