I'm trying to configure my Wordpress E-Commerce store to offer a shipping discount to customers who buy 3 or more products; so, regardless of total shipping price, if you buy >=3 items your shipping cost will only be $5. Has anyone succeeded in doing this before? Is there a shipping plugin that can help with this?

I have a Wordpress site with a store. When I put something in my cart and checkout, the state in the shipping area is static text instead of a field I can fill out. Any ideas about why this is happening?

All I've seen from SEO people are either obvious things (mod_rewrite, use alt text for images, type a description, sitemap, meaningful links, headers) or superstition (change the class names in your CSS, change Javascript comments)

There's SEO plugins for every CMS. Probably couldn't hurt to install one and make sure it's configured well.

probably ! ( is_single() && (in_category('464') || in_category('473')))

I have a Wordpress user who isn't getting the bar at the top of the control panel and other important UI elements on the Dashboard or the Edit Post page. On the post listing page, for example, everything seems fine. According to Firebug, most of the Javascript from the other pages isn't being loaded from the server when I'm on the Dashboard. There's no errors in the console. Anyone seen this before? It only affects some users, but not admins.

That's probably something in your theme

1. Copy all the files. 2. Dump the database. 3. Use the mysql bundled program "replace" to find and replace the old URL with the new URL on your SQL file. 4. Upload your files and import the database. Nothing else to worry about, typically.

Running a Wordpress multisite will let you manage users, posts, and code across multiple sites with their own domains, I think http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Does WP provide a function to deactivate a plugin by name? I ask because one of the people I work with has a local setup that for some reason sends tons of email via WP Better Security until it gets deactivated. What I'd like to do is to add something in functions.php that'll detect if we're running on "localhost" and then deactivate that plugin.

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

Can you make a diagnostic section on a template and check the output of get_settings('home')? Is there any cache that ought to be cleared in your browser or the server?

You'll either need to use mod_rewrite to accommodate the URL or write a custom walker function for your menu template.

It's not hard, but you'll need to do a little development in your theme to make it happen. Make a custom post type for your software project and add new fields (about, publications, repo, bug tracker) with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Then, create archive and single templates for your custom post type with your new fields on it.

You could fetch the attached images in your template (or use Advanced Custom Fields) instead of inserting the images into the post body. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_children http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/image/

You could partially automate upgrades to a specific version with wp-cli http://wp-cli.org/commands/core/update/

You can definitely start with static HTML and have Wordpress fill in the gaps. It will look exactly the way you want it to look. What you need to do is create a theme, which is basically all the elements of a regular static HTML site with Wordpress parts that get filled in by the CMS. If you already know PHP, it probably won't be difficult. There's a theme development page in the Wordpress Codex that ought to tell you exactly how to get started. Once you've got the basics of the theme set up, come ask more specific questions and you'll be headed toward a finished site before you know it.

Don't worry about it unless the extra stuff is confusing you. Your database system is made to handle tables much, much larger than that.

It's probably generating CSS automatically. You'll save yourself lots of trouble by creating a child theme and editing your own style.css inside the child theme.

Can I just edit wp-config.php and copy the files to the server, create a database with the same name then import the database content later?

down with slavery posted:You shouldn't need to replace to filesystem path. That's what I thought too, until I worked on some sites that used those awkward abstract themes that stores all kinds of random poo poo in serialized arrays in the DB. All the widgets and a ton of custom CSS just disappeared upon migration! It took me way too much effort to figure out what had actually happened.

# ¿ Sep 21, 2014 19:17 |

The point of using wp-cli is that it keeps you from loving up serialized arrays that are in the database. You can lose widget positions and theme configuration options like that. It doesn't matter for custom development that's done by hand, but those abstract "site building" type of themes will lose your whole setup.

fuf posted:I deleted the inactive plugins just in case (is there any risk that an inactive plugin could still be up to something? I've always wondered this) Yes. The plugin class itself may not be loaded, but the webserver still honors requests to the files in those directories. It's a huge problem and, to my mind, a good indication against ever starting a new project with Wordpress.

It depends. Nothing that I know of will meet the fast/cheap/easy balance that Wordpress strikes for users with all of its available themes and plugins. Drupal 8 will probably be the closest thing once it's released, but it still lacks in theme availability compared to Wordpress. For sites with custom design (or an available pile of HTML) Craft is probably the best bet. It's simple and easy to use, once you understand the multiple post and field set concept.

Right, they won't see it until their browser requests a new version of it. Clearing the cache comes down to a browser-server interaction that I can't explain here. Read this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/460389/browser-caching-of-css-files

I've been asked to add a new user to a site that I completed a couple weeks ago. I made an account and sent the credentials to the user. Done it a hundred times before; should be no problem. He replies with screenshots showing unknown username/email on both the login and forgot password pages. To assess the situation, I try the forgot password feature with his email address. The site reports that it was sent. I try again with my own email and receive the forgot password link in my inbox immediately. He claims, however, that he never received the forgot password email I had sent to him, even in his spam folder. The only things I can possibly imagine happening here are that either he's got a DNS problem (perhaps a hosts entry pointing to an old site?) along with with an email problem or that he's just lying to me for no clear reason. Am I overlooking any possibilities here? Are there any hiccups with Wordpress user registration I may have forgotten?

# ¿ Jun 25, 2015 15:19 |

I managed to talk him through nslookup and found out that his IT company has a special (and now incorrect) DNS record for the domain pointing to an old server that also happens to be running Wordpress. Fun!

huhu posted:I've just started helping an NGO with their current WordPress website. My first thought was to backup everything so that if I mess anything up I can recover and also to have a locally hosted copy that I could mess around with first before uploading changes. Is there anything else I should definitely focus on doing? Otherwise, I was going to start working on getting the plugins/news/etc updated and then start working on improving the theme (which they asked me to work on). Version control. Setting up a local git repo is trivial, so do it.

I'm about to inherit hosting and maintenance contracts for a bunch of Wordpress sites from a design shop that doesn't want to deal with Wordpress anymore. The prospect of upgrading the core and plugins of a dozen poorly built sites doesn't exactly appeal to me, though. Is there any reason I shouldn't migrate all of them into a single WPMU installation? It seems like this would save me a lot of trouble, but I want to make sure I'm not going to be causing even more of a headache. Any reflections from someone who's done this before will be useful.

What's in the error logs? In my experience, Wordpress inconsistently doing a silent failure of any kind tends to mean you're running out of memory.
