I have no idea what theme you're using since when I went to your site earlier I got redirected to some malware site. We're bringing your theme up because due to the way WordPress is written, it's possible for a theme to introduce a security hole, and it's just another thing for you to treat as a possibly source of the problem.

DNQ posted:Thanks all. http://wpmu.org/why-you-should-never-search-for-free-wordpress-themes-in-google-or-anywhere-else/ It happens a lot. Stick to http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ for your themes, or try one of the links that the article recommends. e: that is an old article which talks about wordpress.org not having that many themes for 3.0 and later. You can ignore that, as there are plenty now.

I would really like to have French and English content for each page, with the option to switch between French and English sites. To complicate matters, this site has an existing user registration required for some of its pages. I'm trying to think of this simplest way to achieve the language switch, hopefully without having to make two parallel websites which share log in credentials. The plugins I found for alternate languages all seem to be translation programs, which I do not want. Does anyone have any tips or experiences with alternate page languages?

A few more suggestions: 1. Try a plugin like "Theme Authenticity Checker (TAC)" and WordFence to scan your wordpress install for malicious poo poo, or for insecure poo poo 2. Renaming the wp-content directory to something else is good as well. Google a guide 3. Make sure your DB is locked down so that only your server/Wordpress can access it 4. Change SQL passwords 5. Make sure you have the right permissions on all the wordpress core files (everything not in the wp-content directory) 6. Change the built in admin account to something other than admin

Does anyone know how to "reset" the Wordpress File Monitor Plus plugin? We were using it on a site but then we completely redid the hosting setup, it now thinks that every single file on the site has changed. We really love the plugin -- lovely backstop against hackers, also helps us see when the content types gently caress something up. But we need it to a bit smarter.

I have kind of a head scratcher: Most of my learning curve for WP was figuring out how to wrangle it into doing things "the right way" instead of the WP way - while making some compromises along the way. In this case I've been writing templates that correctly enqueue the JS in the page footer, but I've been forced to put JQuery in the head since a whole lot of plugins tend to break if I don't. I unregister WP's JQuery and reregister JQuery 1.8 or whatever by pulling it from Google's CDN to take advantage of browser caching. I just found out that this is a really bad idea for client sites; future plugin updates and such may require newer versions of JQuery, but my stupid rear end has it hardcoded to 1.8.4. How concerned should I be about this in terms of a potential rush of clients emailing me that their dumb giant slider is broken? I figure there's likely at least a good year or so of lag time before popular plugin authors abandon support for the current bleeding-edge version of JQuery. If that's the case, I don't give a gently caress about cranky old clients. If people come complaining way down the line, I'll blame it on a bad update or something and push a fix as the cases come in (for free, obviously). Edit: Also, since I just found this thread, any tips on selling plugins? I've had to do a fair share of custom plugin work for popular stuff like woocommerce that I think people would like. One of these days I'll get the projects up on github, but it could be nice to make some residuals too I guess. Leathal fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Jan 3, 2013 |

I guess this is more of a "I want to make sure I'm googling the right things before I bug you guys" question than an actual Wordpress question, but here goes: My boss has become obsessed with EVERYTHING MUST BE WORDPRESS!!@!!! Which is fine, assuming that doing what we need to in Wordpress isn't a huge pain in the rear. If we need to develop a site where WP will be used as a CMS. For generic pages, this is fine and dandy. When it gets to creating custom objects, what's the right term for that in WP? Custom Post? An example would be a 'Project' object that has 1-3 photos, some attributes like date started, title, etc. that would be single strings, some other attributes that would be displayed as a list, so we'd have to store multiple strings for each attribute, and then some formatted text (which I imagine would be the "normal" post content.) Each project has n contact people, who would be another Custom post type (I guess.) Is that the right thing I should be looking into? My searches come up with Custom Taxonomies as well... would I use that over a Custom Post, or in conjunction? How hard / easy is it to do to-many relationships in WP, and what is that called? Thanks for any help.

I have not used ACF, but I will give them a shot. Types just "makes sense" to me from a Custom Post Type GUI standpoint - and their complimentary plugin, Views, is very good too (although paid.) It looks like they more or less do the same thing though. I've got a new project I'm going to be working on soon that I think I'll give ACF a spin. Is it completely free?

ACF does not handle creating Custom Post Types - it's geared towards Custom Meta Boxes only. I use two of the paid addons constantly (repeater field addon and options page addon), although I admit I did some minor licensing hacking to "test them out" thoroughly before I actually paid for them. I actually bought another addon (flexible content addon) I didn't even need just because the author is a great guy. I haven't tried out the gallery addon yet. I've heard good things about Types and I've been meaning to try it out for a few months. ACF has great licensing terms (it's practically the honor system) but I always prefer 100% free software.

Oh! one question I forgot to ask (but I guess I need to wait 22+ hours for multiple answers to, hehe) is can you "link" custom objets (Custom Posts Types) as properties / attribues of another Custom Post? For example can a "Project" custom post have a "Contact Person" field, and I can assign one or more "Person" custom Posts as the value?

Here is a quick UI I added to one of my development sites to show selecting a "page" post type. http://i.imgur.com/NLLRZ.png?1 Lately I've just been treating ACF like a tree database and it's not to hard to click around and change your storage between a simple nested array inside a single custom post type object (this will just create a ton of meta fields for a single post - no individual post exists in WordPress for each child item) vs. breaking an ACF Field into its own Custom Post Type (the containing post would only have a relationship integer in its meta field to link the foreign key of the other post - the other individual posts contain the sub items). The only hard part is when you want to migrate all your posts from one format to the other - you'd have to write a one-time script to migrate your data to the new mechanism. I usually just recreate the data by hand, honestly... Stoph fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Jan 5, 2013 |

I need a plugin that would restrict registered users to only be able to add, and edit pages in specific sections. Like, if I have a category called "Robot Maintenance", I want to make sure that only people assigned that category can edit and create pages in said category. It would also be nice if they could create sub sections too.

This is a rather obscure question, but I don't know of anywhere else on the internet that has a chance of knowing the answer to this, so here it is without dumping too much detail: Currently working on an education-oriented social WP site using BuddyPress, etc. We need (would really like) the ability to auto-generate Google Hangout sessions at specific times for specific groups in a user-friendly way. In a nutshell, we have a "group" which consists of a professor + students. That professor should be able to schedule a Hangout session for a specific time each week, share it with the group, and enable the ability for students to click a link to enter the hangout. From the poking I've done, I've found this plugin for Hangout Event notifications: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yakadanda-google-hangout-events/ and the general Google Hangout API. These are great and all, but it seems to accommodate a single site > hangout scenario, complete with having to generate API keys and such. I need the ability to generate user-specific hangouts that are completely discrete and unrelated to one another. Is there a better way than generating site-wide API keys and such, then using php trickery to attempt to keep Hangout A separate from Hangout B?

Ok, thought I was done, but apparently not. Some of our customers see our new site, and some of our customers that have been to the site before do not see the new site. Even after clearing their cache. One thing I thought of, when I moved Wordpress.com to Bluehost, I changed my Wordpress.com DNS over to bluehost DNS servers. Then, I installed Wordpress.org and have been going from there. Would that have anything to do with the Wordpress.com old blog still showing up because it's fighting the Wordpress.org DNS?

I guess the only thing I could do is like, make a role that only allows users to edit pages that they own. And then an administrator would have to manually create pages and change ownership to each user? I just noticed that wordpress pages don't have categories, I was hoping I could create a role (for say, a department) and configure that role to be able to edit and create pages with the {department} category. Or even limit users to specific categories. That doesn't exist does it?

This is driving me insane. What I want is a plugin that will add a +1 or -1 rating system to each post on my blog. All of the plugins I've tried have either thrown errors, haven't automatically inserted themselves after each post, or only offer star ratings and not the simple +1/-1 system. The one I would like to use is GD Star Ratings, but the 1.9 version doesn't seem to allow you to turn off thumb ratings on a category-by-category basis which is a requirement for me. So I got the 2.0 beta and that doesn't even seem to have a settings page (it loads up blank).

Ok, I'm sick of this all. I've spent almost an entire work week just troubleshooting my website and just problem after problem pops up. - Permalinks only work using default. But, now after I've swapped them around so much trying to get them to work, the navigation menu doesn't have the correct links now. But, I'd rather have mysite.com/events rather than mysite.com/I'd=p118 whatever. - Old Wordpress.com website still likes to load for users who have previously accessed the page before the move to bluehost and Wordpress.org - The website is slow - I can't get the header to rotate images, I'm stuck with a static header - I don't understand SEO stuff - The home page and other pages don't update with new posts now. Like, I added an event AND made a post about it. Home page doesn't show the new page and the Event page doesn't show the new event even though the event page and spot page work if you type in the URL. Because of all of this, I've got peeved employees who haven't been able to access the schedule for the past two weeks, and I'm sending a bunch of important emails out to bands & agencies, only to have the website mess up on them. Is there anybody I can trust to be able to clean my stuff up and just get it to a point that it WORKS?! I am willing to pay money. But, I need some kind of track record so I know I'm not gonna be screwed cause this is an important website for a business that I've worked hard for. https://www.bearsdenpizza.com

Hiring a web designer / developer may be a better option. e: Also if you're forcing someone to give you their name and email address before letting them download a brochure or view a video it'd better be a drat good brochure or video, otherwise you're just going to piss off all your users.

This is probably going to be an extremely easy problem, so I apologise in advance! I'm currently converting static HTML pages into a Wordpress theme and it's my first time using PHP, so I'm running into trouble because I'm not used to it. I would like my index.php page to be set up so as posts are separated into two sections. On the left I'd like news and on the right events. I know that this can be done by setting the categories, but I don't know how to code it in PHP. Currently the Wordpress loop is just putting posts in both sections without discrimination. How do I set this up?

You want to look at multiple loops. However, I wouldn't gently caress with your index.php. Instead, make a copy of page.php or an existing page template and name it page-home.php or something along those lines. Find the default Wordpress Loop. On one of my client themes, it looks like this (found in page-full.php): code:Change the loop part (if have_posts) : the_post) to something like this: code:code:If you need to display custom post types or content, then you'll have to alter your wp_query accordingly. 89 posted:Throwing my hat in there if you need help with this.
