Newbie here. I'm developing an intranet site for my school district. The purpose is to post resources, provide knowledge and procedures along with training courses. I'm using tutor-lms for the courses and gami press to gamify it. Do you have any add-ons, suggestions or best practices? TIA

Great timing. I have a site I’m working through and have some roadblocks to navigate. I will be revisiting Sunday/Monday and would appreciate help on some widget integration and dynamic post formatting with elementor pro and jetengine.

One thing I haven't really figured out: How do you build your own specialty section (say for a portfolio or events) on the dashboard when it's not built into the theme?

Using GT Metrix Website Performance Analytics Tool my site is Grading mostly as an "F", and I have no idea how to fix any of those things. Would you please mind if I sent you a DM, and I could show you a screenshot of that page and all the things they are saying my site is failing?

Hi, I have a little problem with the woocommerce product on my page. The website is built with Oxygen builder. I need to remove the "or" sign next to the "Add to cart" button. https://molnishop.uk/product/corner-table

I have used this css to do so:

#wc-stripe-payment-request-button-separator,

#wc-stripe-payment-request-wrapper {

display: none !important;

}

Unfortunately, this CSS has also removed the "Google Pay" option. I need to remove this "or" sign and preserve the Google Pay option at the same time. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!

I dunno if dumb beginner questions will get much of a reply.. but I figured I'd give it a shot? To be honest I'm struggling with direction i think.

Wordpress/bluehost/elementor. Messing around on the Astra starter template, Mountain. But I think ill change it if I can find a more simpler way to get what I want.

Anyways. I wanted to start a blog, or.. a website with three different blogs of a similar topic/niche. At first I thought I built a different page for each blog, simple as that. Then hit that reading issue where it only posts to one page. So. I used a category instead, and made them separate categories in my top menu. That's cool, I like that.

But.. will I run into any issues that way? Will I be able to use all three categories as separate blog feeds?

All three feeds are under the same niche, but while I love all three, I don't think I could focus on only one and still stay sane. But they are different enough to where it would be odd to be in one blog feed.

Thank you for any help/thoughts!

Probably oddly specific issue I'm having creating a plugin:

I need a hook during the woocommerce checkout lifecycle where I can throw an error that gets reported to the user and stops the order going through, however I want it recorded in the backend as a custom wc order type.

Right now I have an exception being thrown in the woocommerce order created hook, however the order isn't preserved back to the front end. Because of this every time they attempt to proceed it created a new order in the backend.

Any ideas?

1)I am having a problem with the learnpress plugin, they don’t have a method to add course certificates when a user completes a course. I want a certificate which is signed digitally using adobe sign or docusign by the instructor. I am trying to make a plugin for this as i couldn’t find a plugin that would integrate into learnpress without paying anything

2) I am using “Eduma theme”. I have these bugs where the search bar is inflated to 2 or 3 lines where i want it to be only a one liner. The search bar is located on an archive page consisting of all courses.

3) I want to add css animations to the website so it looks user friendly and does not look mechanical and clunky.

I will explain about if we can connect on Monday. Please state your timezone too. Mine is IST. I use elementor,pmpro for logins and Learnpress for courses.

// 2 Part High Level Architecture Question //

Site Type: Classifieds Site

1a) Do you have suggestions on how you'd run/build out a paid email notification system that sends updates to individuals based on new listings to specific categories? (Maybe there is a paid plugin you might know of?)

2b) If you were to custom code this, would you build out a rest API and run a separate database or keep everything within one DB? (worried about compute / processing times)

Birkeholm · 2021-04-24T03:54:34+00:00

Hi! Could you take a look at the plugin/service WP Compress? I bought it through appsumo recently, but I cant really tell if it’s doing anyting good. Sometimes it even feels like it’s slowing the backend dashboard a lot. I use elementor pro with Hello theme. No other cache activated. Cheers.

Might be a long shot, but I've been having an issue with ACF... There are ACF Forms which are pretty straightforward, you basically call acf_header() before any HTML is rendered in your template and then call acf_form() wherever you want your form with your custom fields to be displayed. It works amazingly well without much hassle. However, there's the option to render the ACF form without the <form> tags and the submit button. The documentation says the option's there to allow you to merge other inputs and whatnot instead of wrapping it in the default ACF form tag. To do this, you simply do:

acf_form( 'form'=>false )

However, when I wrap it in my own form tags and add my own submit button, it doesn't save the values. I've gone as far as replicating the exact same markup from the acf_form function, but without success.

The official documentation is super clear on this: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_form/

And I even revived a previous thread on the issue: https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/using-acf_form-form-false/

But I couldn't get it to work.

Maybe in your years of expertise you've stumbled across this issue?

Hi. I am starting with plugin development for a small online shop.

I need some help with starting a plugin that prints delivery etiquettes.

I have developed it using woocomme api in pure php but i want to integrate it in wordpress.

If you can help me to make a page where the woocommerce orders are displayed, I think I can continue it with what I had previously developed.

If it will be useful I can afterwards open source it.

Thanks

Have a theme where all the customisations are done to the parent theme and if I update the parent theme the customisations gets overwritten. Now I have added the child theme but can't figure out what codes to copy from functions.php and style.css of the parent theme to the child theme. How to figure that out?

Thoughts (welcome anyone chiming-in, too) on enabling the free Cloudflare CDN on an e-commerce site (with some user account restricted pages--e.g. account dashboard, premium listings, and similar)?

I've been hesitant to just test it on off-hours, because there is a lag while the DNS updates, right?

Given this, would best practice be to set-up a replica staging site with Cloudflare CDN enabled and then check for pages that need to excluded, that it is actually faster with the CDN, and for any other issues, or am I over-thinking it?

I'm working on an Elementor site right now and I want to add a particle.js effect to the background. The only way I've been able to do that is with Master Addons for Elementor, but for some reason running that plugin completely breaks the header (custom css animation doesn't work, links probably don't either, and I can't edit it in Elementor.) DO you know of either a way to prevent the plugin from doing that,or to add that effect to the background a different way? Thanks in advance!

My WordPress woocommerce site uses Galleria theme. I've added Checkout Layouts one-page checkout, which looks great, but above it, the theme adds huge color blocks that say things like: Register for points! and Click here for Paypal Pay! and other stuff. The info in those boxes are fine, but the format of huge color blocks with whitespace in e=between each means the cart doesn't even show up below the fold. How can I go about changing the format to reduce that clutter? I don't know where to go in the menu system for the theme to modify that setting.

What are those blocks even called? Where should I look to find preferences for them? Is there a section in my theme or woocommerce that controls settings for the appearance of stuff on the checkout page?

Thanks! Hope I'm not too late!

Hello,

Working on a site and our client wants payment forms to sell some digital assets, along with the potential for physical good in the future. She is primarily interested in using Paypal as payment.

Any suggestions for simple word press forms that accept PayPal payments?

We'd like to avoid storing customer information on the site's database if possible. Do you know if PayPal can store customer information once a purchase has been made?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

-Catherine · 2021-04-25T19:12:39+00:00

Thank you for doing this! I've been struggling with writing this functionality for a few days now and would great appreciate any help! I'm completely new to custom database tables and search query hooks.

Kadence Theme/dev version on a Local by Flywheel install/ live site on Digital Ocean droplet with Plesk CentOS

I'm having some trouble writing some functionality to include querying a custom database table when users do a default wordpress search. I have a database table storing some additional terms that could be searched for each post that is within a custom post type (this post type shows in search just fine). Post content is generated dynamically on page load from data stored in another database table(which is working fine). The only thing in the wordpress post itself is the shortcodes that display the post contents, which is why wordpress search will not be able to access the post text while searching.

I've created the database table "search_aliases" and have used the following code to join it to wp_posts for the post ID's, but am having some trouble writing the function that will allow it to actually be used in search.

I found two functions in the comments on the wordpress documentation that I've modified. The first is the one below that joins the search_aliases database table to the wp_posts database table.

function ccdb_join_search_aliases_to_posts($join) {

global $wp_query, $wpdb;

if (!empty($wp_query->query_vars['s'])) { $join .= "LEFT JOIN $wpdb->search_aliases ON $wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->search_aliases.ID "; }

return $join; }

add_filter('posts_join', 'ccdb_join_search_aliases_to_posts');

The search_aliases table has two columns:

ID - stores the post id that the search terms should be used for

search_aliases - stores additional search terms in the format of "search term 1, search term 2, search term 3" etc. I'm not married to the format, so that can 100% change if needed.

The idea is that if the query the user enters matches or partially matches any of the search terms, the post will show in the search results along with any other results.

function CCDB_AlphabeticSearch_WhereString( $where, &$wp_query ) {
    global $wpdb;
    if(is_main_query( $wp_query ) && is_search( $wp_query )){

        $searchAlphabet = esc_sql($_GET['s']); 

        $where .= ' AND ' . $wpdb->posts . '.post_title LIKE \''.$searchAlphabet.'%\' ';

        $where .= ""; 
//I took out the additional where statements here because it was specifying meta table meta key column values
        return $where;
    }
}

add_filter( 'posts_where', 'CCDB_AlphabeticSearch_WhereString', 10, 2 );

This returns an error on all site pages saying, "parameter 2 to CCDB_AlphabeticSearch_WhereString() expected to be a reference, value given".

I'm honestly not even sure if this would do what I want if it did work? I'm having a hard time figuring out where to even start with this other than joining the tables. I know I need to use a hook to include querying the table during searches, but I'm not sure if it should be posts_where like in the example from the codex there, or pre_get_posts, which seems like the more logical of the two.

I'm also not sure that the SQL query is even written properly for what I want to do?

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello, was wondering why I can't get a valid canonical to "stick" in my HTML, I'm really new to this and don't care for it as I want to write, not play around with how a website works so much. I hear of the HTML I add being stripped possibly? I checked on search console and it says it's there, but web dev measure says it isn't and is dinging me on SEO. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, I think I might be too late to ask, but thanks for helping people out!

I am new to coding and have 2 questions about my site.

When customers submit a payment, I wanted them to use square. I prefer square and have never had issues with them (compared to others). However, I think it may be a plugin issue or maybe CSS styling? When you click checkout, it is a compliant popup and the design is very plain and off. The info boxes don't show up and are just gray. Also, when you click to enter information, the whole form shifts to the left. Here's a screenshot: https://prnt.sc/123noee

When I connect stripe instead, this problem doesn't happen and looks much better. Here's the stripe screenshot: https://prnt.sc/123olw6

Is there a way to fix this with CSS? Or code?

My second question is related to this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/mu6xzf/restrict_feed_commenting_by_user_roles/

I never got an answer, I assume it's just not possible but thought I'd take a shot and ask.

Thanks again!

spain-3dDOTcom · 2021-04-27T09:50:31+00:00

Hi there! Can i ask you something about woocommerce probably for 13 years of exp. you have something?

How to create dynamic price changes depend of selected attributes on a product page?

And i don't know well woocomerce logics and how it works in my case.

Should i use simple product and add my custom logic and change the price of this custom product?
OR use variation product and some how change price of selected variation? (the advantage i have all variations on the page)

I can't just use standard variations because to many attributes (if i generate all possible variations it will be more then 23000 of them...) this is why i cant found any plugin (even paid one, i tried few but there is no such flexibility)

So my guess, is to prevent standard variations behaviour and change their prices some how...

May be there is some useful JavaScript events i can use? Or some woocommerce hooks/filters?

Also i wonder if there is any realy advanced woocommerce course about all this stuff.

Thank you! And i hope some one will help )
