How long is the release cycle of WordPress?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A major release of WordPress happens every 6 months or so. Suggest and vote on ideas for future releases at the WordPress Extend Ideas site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also refer WordPress Versions<\/a> for the chronologically listed versions of WordPress along with the Change Log information on new features and improvements in each version. There are the future releases and links to their respective milestones in the bug tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deleting a category does not delete the posts in that category. Instead, posts that were only assigned to the deleted category are set to the uncategorized<\/em> category. Also, all<\/strong> Pages<\/a> are assigned the uncategorized<\/em> Category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The uncategorized<\/em> category cannot be deleted, however you can specify your default categories for posts on the Settings<\/em> – Writing<\/em> screen of the Administration Screens<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is no Page Template option when writing or editing a Page<\/a> it may because there is no template file<\/a> with the proper structure. For the Page Template box to be available to assign to a Page<\/a> there must be a least one template file in your theme that has a structure at the beginning of the template file that looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a new PHP file with any name under the theme directory and put above codes into the file. You will see the Page Template box appears that includes “My Custom Page” option in the Page Edit Screen. For more detail about Custom Page Template, refer Page Templates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes it is necessary to know the ID of a particular Post, Page, Category, Tag, or User. To determine that ID, use one of these method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to the Settings<\/a> > Discussion<\/a> screen and make sure that Comment must be manually approved<\/strong> is unchecked. With that option selected, all comments are sent to the moderation queue to await approval. First, uncheck Allow people to post comments on new articles<\/strong> on the Settings<\/a> > Discussion<\/a> screen. This will only disable comments on future posts<\/em>. Alternatively, you could run below MySQL query from the command line on a shell account or using phpMyAdmin<\/a>, or through a wp-cli<\/a> If your goal is to permanently remove comments, then follow the next steps. This is the example of Twenty Fifteen<\/a> theme customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It removes the number of comments or “Leave a comment” message from bottom of each post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, uncheck Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks) on new articles<\/strong> on the Settings<\/a> > Discussion<\/a> screen. This will only disable trackbacks and pingbacks on future posts<\/em>. Alternatively, you could run this MySQL query from the command line on a shell account or using phpMyAdmin<\/a>, or through a wp-cli<\/a> To change your Admin Name, in the Administration Screens<\/a>, choose the Users->Your Profile<\/strong> menu. Make your changes there. However, you are not able to change the username from within the Administration screen. In order to do this you must directly edit the MySQL database, however this is not recommended as your username is not often seen by other users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just simply create a file to reside at wp-content\/db-error.php<\/em>, and in that file put the message you want displayed to users when WordPress determines the database connection is not available. That file will be used in place of “Error establishing database connection” message. You could even use the db-error.php<\/em> to redirect users elsewhere. Here’s an example for db-error.php<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Put this inside the section of your Theme’s template header.php<\/a> file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on your theme, some other message of similar intent may be displayed. The specifics of how to remove this message is theme dependent. You should be able to find the offending text in your theme’s If it’s simply HTML, comment out the enclosing HTML tags by adding ‘ If you decide later to restore the message, you can simply remove the comment symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hook the filters ‘ Use a custom filter in your themes See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a WordPress WXR file, an XML file exported from WordPress, is too large to import, there are several things you might try to overcome that limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size, and post_max_size must be larger than upload_max_filesize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See also Increasing memory allocated to PHP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Always have the header<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Always have the footer<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. In between, add the posts start with end with and check to see whether the XML file you’re creating is less than or equal to 2MB. You’ll get the hang of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. As always, before importing the new XML’s, backup the database of the blog you are importing the XML files to and might as well export XML file of that blog as well for good measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See:<\/p>\n\n\n\n WXR Splitter Utilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow do I turn on Permalinks, and what do I do about the errors?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that Hold a comment in the queue if it contains x or more links.<\/strong> is not blank and contains a number higher than zero. If this value is blank or zero, all comments containing links will be moderated.
If the option mentioned above is unchecked, the link moderation value is higher than zero, and you still have this problem, then upgrade the comment spam plugins you have installed. If this continues to be a problem, deactivate the comment spam plugins one by one to determine the culprit and contact the plugin author for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow do I disable comments?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Next, to completely disable comments, you will have to edit each past post and uncheck Allow Comments<\/strong> from the Edit Post<\/a> screen. Use Bulk Edit to disable multiple posts at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

comments.php<\/code> file. If it’s displayed by a PHP function, comment out the function with slash-asterisks ‘\/*<\/code>‘ and ‘*\/<\/code>‘ (without quotes)<\/em> on either end of the function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<?php \/* _e( 'Comments are closed.' , 'twentytwelve' ); *\/ ?><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<!-- <\/code>‘ and ‘ --><\/code>‘ (not including the quotes, note the space after the first and before the last comment symbols)<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- <p class=\"nocomments\">Comments are closed.<\/p> --><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
How do I change what is shown when I password protect a post?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
the_title<\/code>‘ and ‘the_password_form<\/code>‘. Your filter function is passed exactly what the filter names imply. Use the str_replace()<\/code> function to search out the offending text and replace it with your preference (or nothing).
Note the ‘the_title<\/code>‘ filter fires for every single title, not just password protected posts, so you need to use the existence of the post_password<\/code> property to know whether to apply the string replace function or not.
Some themes may also have additional locations where content needs to be canged. Next example works with Twenty Fifteen<\/a> Theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\nadd_filter('the_title', 'replace_protected', 10, 2);\nfunction replace_protected( $title, $id ) {\n $post = get_post( $id );\n if ( ! empty( $post->post_password ) ) {\n $title = str_replace('Protected:', 'Hidden:', $title);\n }\n return $title;\n}\nadd_filter('the_password_form', 'replace_message');\nfunction replace_message( $form ) {\n return str_replace('This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:',\n 'Enter you password below to see the surprise:', $form);\n}\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nHow can I allow certain HTML tags in my comments?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
functions.php<\/code> or plugin:<\/p>\n\n\n\nadd_filter('preprocess_comment','fa_allow_tags_in_comments');\n\nfunction fa_allow_tags_in_comments($data) {\n global $allowedtags;\n $allowedtags['span'] = array('style'=>array());\n $allowedtags['p'] = array();\n return $data;\n}\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nHow can I add advanced search ability to WordPress?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
