In reply to: [RSS Icon Widget] Update with dynamic url really helpsGlad that the update worked well for you @mghile.
So sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this, I wasn’t notified that this ticket existed. If you’re not seeing an area on your posts or pages (or other custom post type), when you’re on the content editing page, click on the tab near the top right of your WordPress dashboard that says “Screen Options”. In that tab you should see a checkbox that says “Custom Fields” if the post type you’re looking at supports them. Enable that checkbox and you should see an area further down on the page where you can enter the custom field mentioned in the description of this plugin. I have marked this topic to send me notifications of replies, so please let me know if this doesn’t resolve your issue and we’ll try to get it sorted out.
thanks!

In reply to: wordpress value compare between two meta keysThe only way to do that would be to construct your own custom SQL query.

In reply to: Dynamic picture sizesIt looks like the Interstellar theme that you’re using has some responsive features that you aren’t liking. I would suggest contacting the theme developer to see if there’s a way to customize the theme to your liking.

In reply to: how to modify .htaccess to redirect based on a parameterGiven that %postname% and %category% could be anything, this is a tough permalink to match. WordPress has some built-in capabilities to redirect posts and pages to their appropriate place if permalinks are changed, but it’s not terribly performant for scenarios like this. Your best bet, because .htaccess won’t have any knowledge of your categories nor will it be able to identify a page from a post, would be to write one-to-one 301 redirects to the new location of your posts and pages.

In reply to: Exporting The Columnist ThemeSorry, I didn’t realize that you were on WordPress.com. There isn’t a way in this case to export your theme from there. However, most WordPress.com themes are available somewhere else. Is this the theme you’re currently using? It looks like it’s available for purchase separately for use on a .org site.

In reply to: Question of how to combine two XML sitemapsHi! This could probably be better answered by the plugin author himself. You can create a support ticket on the WordPress SEO plugin support forum.

In reply to: Exporting The Columnist ThemeWordPress does not keep a .zip backup of your theme. If you have the ability to log in to your server via ftp, you could download the theme from the /wp-content/themes/ folder and make a zip file from the downloaded files. If that doesn’t work, hosting companies often offer the ability to create a backup of your server via a control panel. That could also provide you with a similar backup. Hopefully that helps.

In reply to: What is the best way to improve in wordpress developmentHi, and welcome to the WordPress community!
It sounds like you’ve got a great start into WordPress development already. I have a couple ideas for how to continue getting better at WordPress.
- Look on Meetup.com to find a meetup in your local area. I find that getting together with other like minded people is a great way to get better at what you do.
- Check out WordCamp Central. Going to a WordCamp is a great way to get inexpensive training from knowledgeable WordPress community members, and get more involved with the WordPress community.
- Read WordPress core code. The best resource to understand more about WordPress is WordPress itself.
- Dissect default themes. Take a look at the code from the default themes from 2010-2014, _s, and the Theme Developer Handbook. These are all great resources for learning WordPress theme development.

In reply to: PW Protected page don't ask for PW when…Hi Kolsyra,
This is a browser limitation. When you navigate backwards via browser history (e.g. clicking the back button), the browser remembers the state of the page when you left it rather than querying the server for the page again.
Fixing this issue would likely require more theme customization via javascript to recognize that the visit is coming from a backwards navigation and then some more php and javascript customization to refresh the page or something else like that.

In reply to: old WP Site – absolutely have to have subdirectory installHi! I just have a couple of questions to clarify the issue.
- Are you running the latest version of WordPress?
- How many sites do you have on your network?
- Are you comfortable moving all of your sites to subdirectories?
- Have you updated your .htaccess file to match subdirectories versus subdomain url patterns?
There’s a bit more information about switching network types and other multi-site network administration on the Codex.

In reply to: wordpress value compare between two meta keysAnur,
I think you have to approach it from an opposite perspective. Try the following example:
<?php
$meta_query = array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'property_frmarea',
'value' => array(
intval( $_POST['from_size'] ), // don't forget to escape user input
intval( $_POST['to_size'] )
),
'type' => 'UNSIGNED',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
),
array(
'key' => 'property_toarea',
'value' => array(
intval( $_POST['from_size'] ), // don't forget to escape user input
intval( $_POST['to_size'] )
),
'type' => 'UNSIGNED',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
),
);

In reply to: Can′t verify webmaster tools accIt looks like your web host might be enabling some sort of access protection on your site so that traffic from certain regions of the world are blocked for security reasons. I would check in with your host to see if this is something that they can help you out with.
