I am trying to understand how URL dispatching in Wordpress backend occurs? I asked a related question: How to find php file or function that generates a wordpress admin page?
One answer said that I need to search in the code for some unique text that is rendered in the output. I was expecting some logical mechanism such as the url dispatching or routing mechanism in Rails or Django. Isn't there a similar mechanism in Wordpress?

I change the details with the new information.
Here is the situation: Our customers have Wordpress sites, they can customize it as they wish with the theme of their choice. Our customers were originally on another CMS with some features provided by an external webservice. My question at the beginning was, can we use an external webservice with Wordpress? The answer is yes, I know it. I even discovered through other forums and research the wp_remote functions. (request, post, get)
I made a Wordpress plugin, in order to have a solution whatever the theme chosen by the user. It is a search widget that will communicate with a specific function of the external webservice to receive the information that the client wants.
My question is now this: Once my plugin has communicated with my external webservice and retrieved the necessary information from the client. What do you advise me to do to integrate this data into the site? (To have a correct display on a page)
At first, I used the wp_insert_post function to add my search content as a post to the site. The display was fine, which is what I wanted, but the method of getting this result.... is confusing to me.
Thanks for your answers.
is there a way to send Symfony’s data from its action to Wordpress page?
For example Symfony’s action returns an array and in a Wordpress page I could iterate it?
Wordpress use template that are basic php file.
So you can make request to any rest api you want you using php. You can use your symfony rest api if you want.
Simply go in wordpress create pages and create template that will make your request to Symfony and display what you need.
It's really not recommanded but for a special case it could be possible.
You maybe should take the time to simply move your data in the wordpress DB.
I have a Wordpress site and a Laravel site and I want to display recent wordpress posts in the footer of Laravel site. How can I do this without having my wordpress database information in my config/database.php file and using it in the models? Can I get them using RSS?
Recent WordPress was released with a huge thing called REST API – earlier it was possible only with external plugins. So now we can query WordPress database from external projects. Including Laravel.
set up a local WordPress website, and after installation you got that usual dashboard.
we can already make API calls after installation. No need to configure anything, we just launch the URL in the browser:
we’ve received a JSON with a list of posts – by default, WordPress creates one dummy post.
Basically, URL structure for the API calls is simple:
/wp-json/wp/v2/[endpoint]?[parameters]
Yes, you’ve read it right, we can get posts, categories, tags and other things that are publicly available, so we don’t need any authentication here.
And we also can filter the data with GET parameters, like this:
/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=2&orderby=title
For more details open link:- Using WordPress REST API in Laravel
You can get the posts by calling an API endpoint:
yoursiteurl/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
It will return all the posts in a json format. You can also see the reference from here.
I have recently updated a plain html website for a music festival into wordpress. All is fine and beautifulllllll(!), except for one thing. People who apply for the courses are supposed to pay for a deposit, and when they do so they should receive a confirmation email that includes a URL for the future payment of the rest of the course fee.
With the old site, we used to have something like:
http://www.mysite.com/coursefee.php?amount=10&refno=1234&name=John
The coursefee.php file used the $_GET method to create a form that would lead to the payment service (with the right amount to be paid, the correct reference number, ASO). The problem is that if I use the same configuration in wordpress.... well, things don't work. Wordpress uses url parameters as query parameters and I really don't know how to go around this issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!!!
Did you check the path to your coursefee.php files is in the wordpress root directory ?
This php file is not part of Wordpress core, so if you have the standard .htaccess file, you should access it directly without initializing WordPress.
I am currently in the process of making a WordPress Plugin which is going to parse some external data (products) from various web services and present them as normal pages in WordPress.
I would like to avoid actually creating the pages programatically and instead just generate them on the fly to avoid any synchronization issues if a product is deleted and so forth.
My plugin is going to have a base url in which it will hook on to, for example /products/,
and then I would generate each product page by calling /products/some-product-name/.
I also anticipate the need for uri's like /products/category/some-category-name/ which I will use to list all items in that category.
Since I am new to WordPress plugin development, I am looking for some tips and advice to get me started on the right foot. Any help is highly appreciated ;)
I suppose it really depends on where/how you're getting your info from these web services, but I can imagine that the easiest way would be to setup a page as a controller and have it parse out some RSS or XML to build these "virtual pages" by request, so that you're not storing anything in the DB and if the info requested doesn't exist than yes 404 it.
I solved this by adding a filter to rewrite_rules_array and an action catching template_redirect.
