I want my plugin to register a script only in a certain page.
For example, inside my plugin file I want to write something like this:
if (is_page()) {
$pageid_current = get_the_ID();
$page_slug = get_post($pageid_current)->post_name;
if ($page_slug == 'articles'){
wp_register_script('myscript', '/someurl/main.js');
}
}
But I get the error:
is_page was called incorrectly. Conditional query tags do not work
before the query is run. Before then, they always return false. Please
see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was
added in version 3.1.)
How can I, inside of a plugin, register a script in a certain page?
is_page() only work within template files.
And to use it within plugin files, you need to use it with the combination of template_redirect action hook.
This action hook executes just before WordPress determines which template page to load.
So following snippet would work:
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'plugin_is_page' );
function plugin_is_page() {
if ( is_page( 'articles' ) ) {
wp_register_script( 'my-js-handler', '/someurl/main.js', [], '1.0.0', true );
}
}
You could use is_page() after template redirect so you need to add in the hook like this :
add_action('template_redirect','your_function');
function your_function(){
if ( is_page('test') ) {
// do you thing.
}
}
You must register your script as if you want it to work everywhere.
You can de-register it after the job is done, like this:
function deregister_my_script() {
if (!is_page('page-d-exemple') ) {
wp_deregister_script( 'custom-script-1' );
}
}
add_action('wp_print_scripts', 'deregister_my_script', 100 );

Check the screenshot below; all I want to do is to hide certain ACF fields for custom users in the wordpress backend.
As of ACF 5.0.0 there is an easier way to do this without having to output CSS. If you use the acf/prepare_field hook and return false the field will not render.
<?php
function so37111468_hide_field( $field ) {
// hide the field if the current user is not able to save options within the admin
if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
return false;
}
return $field;
}
add_filter( 'acf/prepare_field/key=MYFIELDKEY', 'so37111468_hide_field' );
?>
The documentation for that filter can be found here: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-prepare_field/
If you mean to hide it with CSS, then you should insert custom CSS to admin footer area.
For example, you can add such kind of code to your theme's functions.php file:
add_action('admin_footer', 'my_admin_hide_cf');
function my_admin_hide_cf() {
$u=wp_get_current_user();
$user_roles = $u->roles;
if ($user_roles[0]=='CUSTOM_USER_ROLE_NAME'){
echo '
<style>
#acf-FIELD_SLUG_HERE {display:none}
</style>';
}
}
And of course you should replace FIELD_SLUG_HERE and CUSTOM_USER_ROLE_NAME values with correct ones.
F.e. #acf-FIELD_SLUG_HERE can be #acf-url, CUSTOM_USER_ROLE_NAME can be "contributor".
The excellent Yoast SEO plugin is adding some unwanted meta tags.
For example, I would like article:author to appear on posts, but not on pages or other content types.
Is there a way to adjust this globally?
I'm happy to edit functions.php, but I'm just unsure what I should be hooking in to.
I would be grateful for any pointers from those more familiar with the plugin.
I tried this:
function wpseo_show_article_author_only_on_posts() {
if ( !is_single() ) {
return false;
}
}
add_filter( 'xxxxxx', 'wpseo_show_article_author_only_on_posts' );
I need to know what hook should replace xxxxxx.
You're looking for the wpseo_opengraph_author_facebook filter, which ties into the article_author_facebook() method in frontend/class-opengraph.php of the plugin.
function wpseo_show_article_author_only_on_posts( $facebook ) {
if ( ! is_single() ) {
return false;
}
return $facebook;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_opengraph_author_facebook', 'wpseo_show_article_author_only_on_posts', 10, 1 );
The article_author_facebook() method does a check for is_singular(), which checks that we're viewing single page, post or attachment:
This conditional tag checks if a singular post is being displayed, which is the case when one of the following returns true: is_single(), is_page() or is_attachment(). If the $post_types parameter is specified, the function will additionally check if the query is for one of the post types specified.
The additional filter for ( ! is_single() ) ensures that article:author is only added to posts.
If people are looking for a way to remove more yoast SEO tags, just lookup the file wordpress-seo/frontend/class-opengraph.php, and you can see which filters you can hook into to remove certain tags.
This is the code I use to remove these tags from pages: url, image, title, description and type:
function remove_yoast_og_tags( $ogTag ){
// Do a check of which type of post you want to remove the tags from
if ( is_page() ) {
return false;
}
return $ogTag;
}
$yoastTags = array(
"url",
"image",
"title",
"desc",
"type"
);
foreach ($yoastTags as $tag) {
add_filter( 'wpseo_opengraph_'.$tag, 'remove_yoast_og_tags');
}
I'm trying to do a plugin that will change the behavior of a theme.
In the theme file I have a get_template_part('libs/templates/user_menu');
I want to make my plugin to "force" the get_template_part return another slug file (a path to a file in plugin folder).
So far this is my code inside the plugin:
function wpse21352_template_part_cb( $slug )
{
if(slug == 'user_menu') {
return WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/'.$slug;
} else {
return $slug;
}
}
do_action( "get_template_part_user_menu", 'user_menu' );
add_action( 'wpse21352_template_part_cb', 'get_template_part_user_menu', 10, 1 );
First of all, get_template_part does not return anything. It loads a file from your theme based on the parameters you pass to it. The function does not support filtering, which means you can not actually overwrite what is outputted by get_template_part.
The only thing the action get_template_part_[slug] allows you to do is output something before the theme file is loaded. For example, using
function myplugin_before_login( $slug, $name ) {
echo 'Example';
}
add_action( 'get_template_part_login', 'myplugin_before_login', 10, 2 );
would output "Example" before the loading the theme file when calling get_template_part( 'login' );.
Actions and filters
In general, however, I believe you might misunderstand how actions and filters work. The WordPress Codex offers extensive information on their use and usage.
I'm writing a plugin and I need to display a piece of text in the WP page, but not in the admin area. How can I do so?
I tried this in the construct:
add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'initPage' ) )
and then:
public function initPage() {
echo 'hello';
}
but the text is displayed also in the admin area. Is there a way to do this? It would be the opposite of the action admin_init I assume.
Proper way to handle it: is_admin()
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_admin
if(is_admin()) { // do nothing } else {
// function you want to execute.
}
I solved this by adding it to a shortcode action. Like this:
add_shortcode( 'myPlugin', array( $this, 'shortcode' ) );
and:
public function shortcode( $atts ) {
return 'hello';
}
With the above code, 'hello' will only display on the front-end. Not sure if that's the cleaner way to do it, but does the job.
There is no "front-end-only" version of init, however you probably don't want to be doing any output at the init action anyway.
What exactly are you trying to do? Usually, you use an action hook for specific types of things, and causing output very early at something like "init" is rare and weird.
I am using developing a child theme for Woothemes' Canvas.
I am trying to use functions.php in the child theme to only use actions on my custom post type.
This code doesn't seem to be working:
add_action( 'woo_post_inside_after', 'my_geo_mashup' );
function my_geo_mashup() {
echo GeoMashup::map();
if ($post->post_type == 'listings') {
//My function
}
}
add_action( 'woo_post_inside_before', 'listings_nivo' );
function listings_nivo() {
echo do_shortcode('[nivo source="current-post" ]');
if ($post->post_type == 'listings') {
//My function
}
}
So, I'm unsure how to get the above to work properly and only show these items on the custom post type, or only for the custom post type template single-listings.php (as I only want the map and slider to show on the actual post, not on the blog page (archive.php)
Rather than making the entire $post object global, you can just make $post_type global instead. Ex below.
I'm not exactly sure where that function is being loaded, but make sure you hook somewhere within the post. If the action is before, as far as I know and from experience, the post variable will be null.
Just as a test, try running the action in wp_footer Ex. add_action( 'wp_footer', 'listings_nivo' );
See if that yeilds any results.
if echoing var_dump($post) is still null, well, not sure where to go from there.
So you can try running the below, then run the action in the appropriate place if it works:
function listings_nivo() {
echo do_shortcode('[nivo source="current-post" ]');
global $post_type;
// Diagnostic purposes
echo var_dump($post_type);
if ($post_type == 'listings') {
//My function
}
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'listings_nivo' );
Check your error log or turn wp_debug to true in your wp-config.php file if nothing else to see if anything else is going on.
Best of luck!
Inside your function, try adding global $post;. Then to see what you are getting with $post->post_type echo it out to the screen. As long as this gives you "listings", your code should work. If not, there's probably another issue at play.
