the sidebar.php shows
<li>
<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>'); ?>
</li>
so which php file generates the Categories in the sidebar (wrapped in a tags and with number of posts)?
If you're trying to change the output of this function, you can do it with a custom theme filter. Add the following to your theme's functions.php:
function custom_wp_list_categories($categories){
// do something to the $categories returned by wp_list_categories()
return $categories;
}
add_filter('wp_list_categories', 'custom_wp_list_categories');
The benefit of this approach is that it means that if you upgrade WordPress, you don't have to worry about making your changes again to the core files.
The function is located inside wp-includes/category-template.php
You can find out where any function is located by looking at the WordPress codex - at the bottom of each page, there is a link to where the function located.
Documentation for wp_list_categores
wp_list_categories function source code
Why edit the core when there are so many options to choose from!

I'm coding plugin that create custom post type with custom fields. Now I need to build custom archive/category/tag templates which should contain custom fields.
The problem is that I couldn't insert template part inside archive loop from plugin.
Is there some hook to insert custom loop inside activated theme? Something like this:
add_filter('the_content', 'change_content_in_single_post');
Now I'm using this hook:
add_filter( 'template_include', 'change_whole_cpt_archive_template' );
... but when I use template_include hook it changes whole template and I need to do something like the_content filter. That hook get template of current theme and replace standart content template with my custom template - make it part of activated theme. It makes my CPT single page template compatible with any wp theme. Now I need to replace standart archive loop with my custom loop. For example: on archive page show posts without images... It must be something that replace result of standard get_template_part() function with custom template from plugin. That's what I`m searching for...
Anyway, maybe you know some better ways to make plugin (archive template) compatible with wp themes?
Huge thanks for any help!
you need to introduce some logic to only run on your cpt archive page.
add_filter( 'template_include', 'change_all_archive_template' );
function change_all_archive_template($template){
if ( is_post_type_archive('cptname') ) {
$template= 'find the template!';
//if( file_exists ) --> look in theme 1st??
//else --> load from plugin..
}
return $template;
}
There are quite a few plugins that use this technique to look in the active theme 1st and if not found, find the file in your plugin.
I found solution in woocommerce plugin files.
So... the best way to build custom archive template from plugin is to use template_include hook and in custom template file set header and footer from activated theme:
<?php get_header();
// custom archive loop
get_footer(); ?>
To make it more compatible with any wp themes use stanard wordpress and bootstrap classes.
I'm writing a plugin that requires adding to the content; adding a filter to the_content() is straightforward enough, but the theme I'm testing in uses get_the_content() to build the page.
There's an indication that it should be possible in the Wordpress codex but I don't understand the example:
If you use plugins that filter content (add_filter('the_content')), then this will not apply the filters, unless you call it this way (using apply_filters):
apply_filters('the_content',get_the_content( $more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file ))
Can anyone help / explain?
Thanks,
David.
What they're saying is you'd have to add code to the place that get_the_content() is called. From your description, that's in the theme - you'd have to change the theme's get_the_content() call as described.
The reason for that is that there are no filters in the get_the_content() function that you can hook into with your plugin (have a look at the source - there are no calls to the apply_filters() function in get_the_content(), except one for the "more" link text).
Late to the party, but here it goes:
In your functions.php you can add something like this:
function do_filter_stuff($content) {
//Whatever you want to do with your content
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'do_filter_stuff' );
Next, in your page.php (or whichever template you want to use it in) you can call the raw content with the same filter as following:
<?php echo do_filter_stuff(get_the_content()); ?>
I have generated pages using a custom template by creating a php file in my theme directory
something like :
<?php
*
* Template Name: Contact Page
*/
?>
<html ..... </html>
and then adding a new page on the dashboard selecting this new template
How can i now associate tags and categories to each pages ?
Is creating posts instead of pages the only solution?
Even better is to add to functions.php in your theme folder:
function myplugin_settings() {
// Add tag metabox to page
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'page');
// Add category metabox to page
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');
}
// Add to the admin_init hook of your theme functions.php file
add_action( 'init', 'myplugin_settings' );
Tried using the accepted answer but for some reason it only shows the Post types and none of the Pages shows in the category page. E.g. /category/entertainment/
To fix that, I have to do this:
// add tag and category support to pages
function tags_categories_support_all() {
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'page');
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');
}
// ensure all tags and categories are included in queries
function tags_categories_support_query($wp_query) {
if ($wp_query->get('tag')) $wp_query->set('post_type', 'any');
if ($wp_query->get('category_name')) $wp_query->set('post_type', 'any');
}
// tag and category hooks
add_action('init', 'tags_categories_support_all');
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'tags_categories_support_query');
Try this:
add_action( 'init', 'wpse34528_add_page_cats' );
function wpse34528_add_page_cats(){
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'page');
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');
}
Not at all helpful to say 'download plugin' for beginners who are most likely not going to have downloaded wordpress and are therefore not able to install said plugin. Here is some short code for those like me that have been scouring the web for something that actually works on regular pages with regular accounts - ie you're not a developer.
First, make sure you have your pages in your menu set up properly.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE YOUR PAGES 'Categories' or 'Tags'!
This wouldn't give you actual pages to then go and edit, so if you are wanting to add sliders, text, an intro, or anything for that matter, you wouldn't be able to.
Then go to WP Admin > Pages
Select a page to edit and go to the text editor instead of visual editor (far right hand side tab)
Then past the following short code:
[display-posts category="hair,makeup,reviews,beauty" posts_per_page="10" include_date="true" text-decoration: none date_format="F j, Y" order="DESC" include_excerpt="true" wrapper="div" image_size="large"]
<
(The shortcode collects all the posts that you have assigned certain categories in your blog posts i.e. mine was hair and beauty. So obviously change yours to ones that are appropriate. It then allocates how many posts (mine was 10), the date (in descending order,) with a large image and an excerpt of the post)
this plugin sorted me out :
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-tags-and-category-to-page/
with the standard instructions :
Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
Use the setting page of the plugin from Settings > Add Tags And Category For Page.
I have been trying to make my website on Wordpress. I am using Brave Zeenat as my primary and Grido as my blog theme.
I have read many tutorials in places, which discuss how to apply a customized flavour of the main theme on a static page, e.g. Blog. However, the main theme I am using does not appeal to me as a blog theme at all, so I wanted to do something entirely different, so I have tried two methods.
First, I tried to just create a page named Blog and force it to take a theme of my choice using the Page Theme plugin. That worked instantly, but the blog page is empty and would not accept articles of certain categories by default like this.
Second, I tried to not use any plugin at all, and use a custom PHP file instead, which sets some loops and calls a theme. This file blog.php had to be in the main theme directory, otherwise it would not be applicable as a template from the page settings in Wordpress dash.
So I put it with my main theme, but call to load the other theme, like this:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog
*/
$paged = get_query_var('paged');
query_posts('cat=0&paged='.$paged);
global $more;
$more = 0;
load_template(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/themes/grido_v1.0.1/index.php');
?>
Eventually I only want to see category no.9, but for now, I left it as 0, which should display all categories. But when I run this with Page Theme plugin disabled, I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function themify_get() in /var/sites/v/visualdeceptions.info/public_html/wp-content/themes/grido_v1.0.1/index.php on line 10.
Now, although this is a themify error, I am sure if I try to use other premium themes as well, I will encounter very similar errors, because I have only set a custom php file, and no style, header, footer, etc. But I am not sure how to do it.
Try to add getheader() and getfooter() in the code
<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog
*/
get_header(); //HERE
$paged = get_query_var('paged');
query_posts('cat=0&paged='.$paged);
global $more;
$more = 0;
load_template(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/themes/grido_v1.0.1/index.php');
get_footer(); //HERE
?>
I want to insert a hardcoded short code in my code, and not from the usual Text Editor we usually use.
Basically I want this to add a gallery, and the user doesn't need to change the shortcode from the CMS so I will be hardcoding this.
How would I need to do this, I tried to just post it in my .php file but it doesn't work.
This is the code I want to add:
[jj-ngg-jquery-slider gallery="1" width="866" height="341" ]
This will do the trick to include in .php files:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[jj-ngg-jquery-slider gallery="1" width="866" height="341"]'); ?>
shortcodes were created to include in post or pages. I could be wrong but wordpress checks the input of a post and if it finds a shortcode it will replace it with the html. I don't think it will work if you add shortcodes in your .php file because wordpress doesn't look for shortcodes in your php files
You could just create a function in functions.php to generate the html you need. Then you just call that function within your theme .php file. That's how most plugins are made. Shortcode for post & pages and function in the php files.
example:
<?php echo myGallery(array('gallery'=>1, 'width'=>866, 'height' => 341); ?>
Did you try this method ? do_shortcode($content)
I've seen it on http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API
