I swear I want to bash my head into a wall. Scribu, author of Posts 2 Posts, has stopped offering any help, paid or otherwise, for this plugin. And now I can't figure out how to get a menu to show every single connected post as a menu. I can get it to show connected items for the page but I just want a global thing. ie. I have Projects connected to Products along with every Project have a custom taxonomy for a location. So 2 custom posts and a custom taxonomy. I need 2 menus, one sorted by location (the submenu for each heading would be a project) and the other menu being sorted by the products and their associated projects. Simple do if I had a basic database and linking ID's but no idea how to get this done in Wordpress and Google is failing me. Anyone here familiar with Posts 2 Posts? Their documentation seems to mainly support just linking pages to posts.

Are you talking about listing the posts in a template or in the control panel?

If you get extraneous output after your Posts2Posts loop, remember to add wp_reset_postdata() after it finishes

After thinking things were clear another issue comes up, haha. It seems to move on once it finds a single connected project. The cities work fine and list all associated projects. But the products stop at one. Tried reversing the posts 2 posts thing but it doesn't seem to work. A project can have many products & a product can be used on many projects. Veird. But progress is progress. EDIT: Had the drat UL in the 2nd forloop and needed it moved out. Not it lists everything! Vintersorg fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Jul 29, 2013 |

What's the best way/place to find top notch Wordpress development companies? Long story short, we hired a company to redo our site in Wordpress and everything started out absolutely great, but in the last month or so has done a complete 180 and gone to poo poo. I'm hoping I can find someone else who can step in and "get us across the finish line". Just googling got me where I am now, so I'd like to avoid that. Not to mention it seems as though when someone says they "make" Wordpress sites, that means they can change themes, and when they say they can customize Wordpress that means they can install pluigins

Sleepstupid posted:I'm hoping I can find someone else who can step in and "get us across the finish line". Freelancers are going to be your best bet assuming you don't want to start over from scratch. A "top notch Wordpress development" company is not going to want to fix or build on whatever your current developer has delivered, they'd probably want to start from scratch. When a client says they need someone to "get them across the finish line," it immediately throws up a bunch of red flags, and most companies will avoid projects like that because they're always, always terrible. Sleepstupid posted:Not to mention it seems as though when someone says they "make" Wordpress sites, that means they can change themes, and when they say they can customize Wordpress that means they can install pluigins Sounds like you want to look for someone who does custom theme development, if you want another search term to use. kedo fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Jul 30, 2013 |

Look for trustworthy referrals from your personal network. I have a few major clients and then also do a lot of this kind of work for people I know - picking up half-finished projects. Agree that you want a freelancer, not a big shop. Wordpress development isn't really all that complex. You just want someone willing to commit the time who knows what they are doing.

If the code example uses $post_id instead of $post_ID inside the function then just do $post_id rather than $post_ID. I know it sounds stupid but sometimes it might make it work.

Im not doing anything special with it, its just a bunch of form elements but clicking the save button doesn't do anything. Doesn't even refresh the page. It just sits there. I noticed some other standard WP option pages had the same issue but I rolled back to 3.5 immediately and forgot which pages had the issue. But I also noticed that other people are having saving issues while googling, so I guess its a thing. rugbert fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Aug 10, 2013 |

Punch me in the nuts as hard as it can?? Thanks though to you and rugbert for replying. I wound up skipping the whole Meta thing and doing it a different way because it needed to get done "right NOW!!!!", but I hope to revisit it and try to discover what I was doing wrong or if "it's a 3.6 thing". I guess if I did WP development enough to know how it thinks I would not get so grumpy at it, but spend 95% of my dev time in other languages and frameworks that make WP seem like a strange and alien place.

I posted this on the php thread, but since my code actually works in php, I think maybe Wordpress is screwing it up somehow. Any help or point to the right direction is appreciated. On the code below, I'm getting a Call to undefined function on line 3, "getItems($items)". I googled and I found that I should be calling it like this "$this->getItems($items);", but that still gives me the same error. more info: I'm using wp-ecommerce and I have this code in a checkout page. code:

I've come across something odd on my WP site. I installed a plugin called Ad Injector (to help manage my adsense ads) and I discovered a few days later that some of my posts stopped loading. The title and the comments loaded but the content of the post didn't load. It only seemed to effect a few posts. Luckily one of my guests sent me a message or I might have never realized the problem. I disabled the plugin and things seem to be normal again. Any idea how this could have happened?

I looked back a couple pages and didn't see anyone address this so hopefully it's not a recent repeat question. I need a plugin that can make my blog available in other languages. At least European languages but I'd like Arabic and Asian languages too. The suggestion in the OP seems to be dead. I'm new enough at this that I wouldn't know who to trust in the wild west internet.

Can anyone recommend a simple e-commerce plugin for listing downloadable products to sell? So something which will help me sell software packages, or plugins, or any sort of downloadable product. Im not even sure how it would work but Im thinking it would bring customers to a payment gateway, and then upon successful payment, send the customer an email with a hashcode to download the package? I dunno, Ive never really worked on anything e-commerce before.

Anyone aware of a plugin and/or a functions.php modification that'll add featured images into an RSS feed?

Ok, so on my first day as a non C# specific web developer I was asked to add a custom field to our company's blog comments section on Wordpress. Actually, we want to replace the "Website" field with a "Company" field. Like a dummy I just changed the label, but I can't find where in the PHP that it's formatting that field to a url and cancelling that (plus I should probably be changing it in the database too) Googling how to do this has been for naught, but I figured goons could help me out here. Using Wordpress 3.5.2 and PremiumPixels theme, if that helps.

That is a big no-no in WordPress development. http://www.inkthemes.com/how-to-easily-customize-wordpress-comment-form/04/ Read this to learn how to modify the form to enter comments. Then you just need to remove a filter on the area which is showing the URL.

Is there a way to hide the default edit box for pages? I have the Advanced Custom Fields plugin (this thing is loving amazing) and using the Repeater boxes to fill sections in. I want to hide the regular box so the client can only use these fields to add sections to a page. A quick Google search pulled in stuff like deleting tinyMCE and some older stuff from 2007. I'll keep looking in hopes there is a function I can add to functions.php.

What's a good way of letting someone check a site before it goes live? I looked at a bunch of "maintenance mode" plugins that let logged in users see the site as normal, but display something else for everyone else. This would be ideal, but the "something else" always seems to be some embarrassing, garish page. I basically just want the site to look like this: code:
edit: never mind I found a good one. "Dashboard Maintenance Mode" just puts a very basic maintenance.php in /wp-content that gets shown to non-logged in people. fuf fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Sep 9, 2013 |

This is a weird one. I've inherited an elderly, 5 page WordPress site that desperately needs to be SEO'd and fixed up. One of the first problems I've noticed is that the top left logo link to home has two slashes at the end (e.g. https://www.thing.com//). However, these slashes only show up when on the main home page itself, and not on any of the other content pages. I've checked in General > Settings, and the home/root URLs don't have the slash there (in fact if you try to save slashes there they are automatically removed). I then went into the header code ( header.php > _brand.php ) where the link is built and found this:code:
- .htaccess chicanery (which I highly doubt; this client is not technical) - some kind of buggery in the 'home' value?
