Have you checked for any errors?

A good pointer in such situations is to turn WP_DEBUG to true in your wp-config.php. Usually it will tell you how it’s feeling if something is hurting.

For this you would need to remove the default trimming filter in WordPress.

You could try this:

remove_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt'  );
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', function( $excerpt ) {

	$string = substr($excerpt,0, strpos($excerpt, "</p>") + 4);

	return $excerpt;
} );

I have not tested it, but it should do something close to what you’re asking.

Hi,

Try using get_the_title() instead. the_title() prints it’s contents, get_the_title() does not.

Hi,

Using the get_queried_object_id()-function is indeed an option here. Beer in mind that this will fetch the ID even if its a term/archive/other.

You could do it like this:

<?php if( isset( get_queried_object()->ID ) ) : ?>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" >var bShareOpt = {url: "<?php echo get_permalink( get_queried_object()->ID ); ?>"};</script>
<?php endif; ?>

You should also check out the wp_localize_script()-function, which can be used to pass parameters from PHP to your Javascript.

I’ve used the TouchSwipe library on several occations for this kind of stuff.

Have you checked it out?

Hi,

Try using the_time() instead of the date.

And, start_wp() has been deprecated for a long time. Use setup_postdata($post); instead.

Hi,

You can include WordPress’ core functions (and the query methods) by including wp-blog-header.php, in your case blog/wp-blog-header.php. This will allow you to use WordPress’ get_posts() function. Hence enabling you to get your 3 posts outside of WordPress.

Either that, or you can query the database for the table wp_posts and specifying the post type post using PHP’s mysql/mysqli-functions.

A third option would be to use your sites RSS-feed (https://yoursite.com/blog/feed) and parsing it (perhaps with SimplePie)

Hi Jack,

Thanks for your feedback.

You can limit the post types it it availiable for by inserting this snippet into your theme:

add_filter( 'fa_post_types', 'my_fa_post_types', 20, 1 );

function my_fa_post_types( $post_types ) {

	return array( 'my-custom-post-type-slug' );

}

By default the plugin is set to look for all public post types.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can put this snippet in your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'fa_post_types', 'my_fa_post_types', 20, 1 );

function my_fa_post_types( $post_types ) {

	return array( 'page' );

}

Hi,

You could see how it is done in this plugin updater. I use this myself, and it works with all of my plugins together.

Since a taxonomy doesn’t have a “last changed”-field, you’d actually have to query the posts in the taxonomy to figure out if anything has changed.

Hi,

You could do it by finding the most recent post in the taxonomy term.

$posts = get_posts('post_type=any&showposts=1&orderby=date&taxonomy=term');

Well, unless you are creating a post type, nothing of the sort exists for those pages. Unless you want your post type to display as a sub menu item. You can do this by setting the show_in_menu argument in register_post_type() to the slug of the parent. E.g. users.php

Basically they’re asking you to create a little piece of code that displays content for 20 seconds, and then it should be removed. Also they want it done via a hook.

For example:

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'remove_content_timer' );
function remove_content_timer() {
	?>
	<script type="text/javascript">

	setTimeout(function() {
		// run the necessary javascript to remove the content
	}, 20000); // run function after 20000ms

	</script>
	<?php
}

You could do it by actually checking the current users role by so:

add_action( 'admin_init', 'dio_removals' );

function dio_removals() {
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
	if ( in_array( 'author', $current_user->roles ) ) {
		// remove post types
		remove_post_type_support( 'post', 'editor' );
		// remove meta WP version
		remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
	}
}
