WordPress

WordPress was borne of initial idea seeding via B2 (Cafelog) in 2001, which was launched by Michael Valdrighi. In 2003, cofounders

Matt Mullenweg

& Mike Little forked B2 and created WordPress, an Open Source blogging and now content management system estimated to power the largest number of websites of any individual product (29%). Through the largest thriving community of any website management system, WordPress has grown to include theme designers, plugin developers, webmasters and site developers. With the power of participants, WP now can power anything from small individual blogs to large multi-user social communities to business websites. Core contributing developers include Ryan Boren, Mark Jaquith, Matt Mullenweg, Andrew Ozz, Peter Westwood and Andrew Nacin. WordPress has just recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary.

WPCommunity

WPCommunity.com was started as an extension of Web Developer Tom Ford who found WordPress in the early days looking for a solution to power a group of large websites that had outgrown their flat HTML infrastructure. Needing more features, WordPress was chosen based on another user who was kind enough to put together a comparison chart of several platforms, with detailed information. The way this individual was able to present this side by side comparison using WordPress ultimately led to giving it a shot...which led to massive experimentation to the different things it could do. The heavy and growing demand for assistance led to offering such, bringing us to today.

Tom Ford

has contributed to various other development agencies including TC Websites, WPMU.org and WPML. (as well as solving countless technical issues and working through many full website builds).

  Reply To: Adding URL to image needs work
  This is how one adds a link to an image https://www.loom.com/share/9f2c75375c1744ef876151b95d2c18f1
  Adding URL to image needs work
  Hi – went to add a url to an image and it seemed odd how it works – and should probably be changed a bit. I searched the forum and it used to be in the block editor there was a URL section on the right hand for media block. However, that seems to have disappeared. So I added a URL via the link tool above the media box. That worked however it does not show custom URLs and only shows whether it is a link to the media file or media page. Clicking on that link tool also does not show the custom URL – it comes up as blank so the only way to make sure it worked is to open the page,…
  What Licensing plugin would you recommend?
  Hi there, I have a wordpress website (with woocommerce) where I distribute digital products. I would like to add a licensing feature when selling these products in order to have more control over their distribution. The idea is pretty simple and standard: when a purchase is made, a license key is provided to the client in the woocommerce confirmation email. The license can then be used by the user to activate my product. For the integration part between the license manager and my product, I plan on hiring a freelancer but before doing so, I first need to identify the appropriate plugin to use. After some online research, all plugins available seem the offer more or less the same features so it’s hard to pick…
  How to create a horizontal scrolling menu with images ?
  Hi there! I want to create a horizontal scrolling menu just like the image reference given below. I can’t find any related plugin to do this. If you know any plugin or how this can be done, please share. Here’s the reference link https://imgur.com/a/rg0hyVM
  Reply To: Is it possible to register_activation_hook() outside of the main file?
  @bcworkz I think I tried what you said, but that didn’t work either. Here’s the setup: my-plugin |-main.php |-activate-deactivate.php // main.php if (is_admin()) { // I tried both of these with the same result require_once plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'activate-deactivate.php'; // or require_once WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/my-plugin/activate-deactivate.php'; } // activate-deactivate.php function my_plugin_on_activation() { if (!current_user_can('activate_plugins')) { return; } $plugin = isset($_REQUEST['plugin']) ? $_REQUEST['plugin'] : ''; check_admin_referer("activate-plugin_{$plugin}"); // other stuff that should happen... } register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'my_plugin_on_activation'); function my_plugin_on_deactivation() { if (!current_user_can('activate_plugins')) { return; } $plugin = isset($_REQUEST['plugin']) ? $_REQUEST['plugin'] : ''; check_admin_referer("deactivate-plugin_{$plugin}"); // other stuff that should happen... } register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'my_plugin_on_deactivation'); Again, these functions work from within main.php, but not when placed in their own file.
  Very slow WP_Query request
  Hello everyone. I’m creating a website for a real estate company and to allow people to search for houses and flats, there is a search engine with this fields : maximum price, minimum area, typology, locations, delivery date and type of dwelling. I use Custom Post Type UI and Advanced Custom Fields PRO. Here is my code for the query : $prix = !empty($_POST['prix']) ? $_POST['prix'] : 9999999; $superficie = !empty($_POST['superficie']) ? $_POST['superficie'] : 0; $type_logement = !empty($_POST['type_logement']) ? $_POST['type_logement'] : ''; $typologie = !empty($_POST['typologie']) ? $_POST['typologie'] : ''; $lieux = !empty($_POST['lieux']) ? $_POST['lieux'] : ''; $date = !empty($_POST['date']) ? $_POST['date'] : ''; if(!empty($_POST)) { $args = array( 'numberposts' => -1, 'post_type' => array('bien-immobilier'), 'post_status' => 'publish', 'fields' => 'ids', 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' =>…

  POST STATUS: ANGELA JIN ON WORDCAMP US 2020 CANCELLATION AND THE FUTURE OF WO...
  In this episode of Post Status Draft, David Bisset talks with Angela Jin. Angela joined Automattic in 2018 and is one of the community organizers for the WordPress open source project. She has been helping organize, start conversations, and setting policies for WordCamps over the last few years.
  
  David recorded this interview around the time that WordCamp US 2020 would have normally taken place in St. Louis, Missouri. WordCamp US organizers decided to cancel the event months before it would have taken place due to COVID-19. There were questions about what led to that decision. Why didn't it become a virtual conference, like WordCamp Europe? What are organizers planning for future WordCamp US events and WordPress education in general?
  
  David sat down with Angela to get a better understanding of the WordPress community and its needs during a pivotal time of change. Join us as we discuss what the future holds for the conferences, meetups, and other social gatherings we've enjoyed in the past.
