It can happen that a function is only callable from one interface (console, apache…). There is a function that returns exactly what we are looking for.

In your theme’s functions.php file or in your plugin, use the hook as follows: function configure_mce( $init ) { // nos options … Read more
With WordPress, it is common to use the get_post_meta($post, $meta_key) method in order to retrieve the value of a given meta. However for the ID, there is no ready-made method. The best solution I’ve found so far: $mid = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare(“SELECT meta_id FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE post_id = %d AND meta_key = %s”, $post, $meta_key) );
If you want to use a regular expression to, for example, search for a word in a paragraph, it is important to protect your variable.

A lot of code uses strlen to get the size of a string. The problem: strlen returns the number of bytes, not the number of characters. As soon as a string contains accented letters or emojis, the result is wrong. The problem with strlen In UTF-8, a character such as “é” takes two bytes, so … Read more
A small function to replace accented characters with their unaccented equivalent. function normalize_str($str) { $invalid = array(‘Š’=>’S’, ‘š’=>’s’, ‘Đ’=>’Dj’, ‘đ’=>’dj’, ‘Ž’=>’Z’, ‘ž’=>’z’, ‘Č’=>’C’, ‘č’=>’c’, ‘Ć’=>’C’, ‘ć’=>’c’, ‘À’=>’A’, ‘Á’=>’A’, ‘Â’=>’A’, ‘Ã’=>’A’, ‘Ä’=>’AE’, ‘Å’=>’A’, ‘Æ’=>’A’, ‘Ç’=>’C’, ‘È’=>’E’, ‘É’=>’E’, ‘Ê’=>’E’, ‘Ë’=>’E’, ‘Ì’=>’I’, ‘Í’=>’I’, ‘Î’=>’I’, ‘Ï’=>’I’, ‘Ñ’=>’N’, ‘Ò’=>’O’, ‘Ó’=>’O’, ‘Ô’=>’O’, ‘Õ’=>’O’, ‘Ö’=>’OE’, ‘Ø’=>’O’, ‘Ù’=>’U’, ‘Ú’=>’U’, ‘Û’=>’U’, ‘Ü’=>’UE’, ‘Ý’=>’Y’, ‘Þ’=>’B’, … Read more
To effectively remove special characters in a string, just use the preg_replace method. $string = preg_replace(‘/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/s’, ”, $string);
To make queries on WordPress, I’m used to using WP_Query($args). In this example, we want to add a LIKE = “%title%” in our query. Here is a simple request that adds all our posts in the array a_response_array: $args = array( ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ); // The Query $query = new WP_Query( $args ); // … Read more
To make all WordPress functions accessible in a PHP script, just include wp-load.php require_once(‘../wp-load.php’); to test, we can for example display the version of WordPress $blog_info = get_bloginfo(‘version’); print_r($blog_info);
