Anyone know how to remove a screen option from a custom post type table column?

Q: How to Remove Certain Screen Options and Table Columns from post type in wp_list_table?

On the page where we list all posts made: example.domain.com/wp-admin/edit.php There is a Screen Options tab in the upper right corner. Upon clicking this, a menu slides down. Contained within this slide down menu, are check boxes. When checking or unchecking these check boxes, certain columns i...

Stephen Harris

@MichaelEcklund .... MikeSchinkels already answered that?

Michael Ecklund

@StephenHarris he covered generic pages and posts, but not custom post types.

Stephen Harris

@MichaelEcklund They're the same, just slightly different hook names.

codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/…

Michael Ecklund

yes i know but it doesnt work.

@StephenHarris How would I go about removing let's say, "wpseo-score" from the post type of let's say, "business"?

Stephen Harris

@MichaelEcklund wpseo-score being a column?

Michael Ecklund

01:28

yes

i know i would need to change the action hook to something like: manage_business_posts_custom_column

Stephen Harris

Use the filter manage_edit-business_columns to remove the name of the column (presumably, 'wpseo-score') from the array. Similar to Mike's answer.

Michael Ecklund

@StephenHarris thanks it worked. could you explain to me what Mike's comment about the second param not being passed means?

@StephenHarris what is the second param used for?

Stephen Harris

Or the filter manage_business_posts_columns would do it too. I think maybe this one is preferable.

Michael Ecklund

@StephenHarris codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/manage_$post_type_posts_c‌ustom_column "For built-in post types and multiple custom types, use manage_posts_custom_column. "

Stephen Harris

@MichaelEcklund I'll just get the source up.

Michael Ecklund

01:34

okay thanks

Stephen Harris

@MichaelEcklund There are two hooks you can use to remove columns: manage_edit-${post_type}_columns or manage_${post_type}_posts_columns

Michael Ecklund

@StephenHarris I think if you could just add another answer to expand off Mike's answer for people that may be looking for a custom post type example as well.

it would be rather beneficial to the community.

krembo99

Anyone here knows how to add a filter only if the user is doing a specific action (or is on a specific admin page ?)

Michael Ecklund

@StephenHarris I can assure you, that I am not the only one in this community questioning about custom post types.

Stephen Harris

@MichaelEcklund So the manage_posts_columns hook is fired for all post types except pages. The second parameter is there to so that you can only do something for certain post type(s). There's probably some backward compatibility going on there

@krembo99 load-{$page_hook} or admin_action_{$action} are probably what you're after. Ask it as a question - it's a good one. I'll answer it properly tomorrow if no one else has. I'm off now.

krembo99

@MichaelEcklund - Ok.. tnx.

Mods on SO are very quick on deleting comments. I had a conversation with a mod yesterday about improving my question, and the next minute the conversation was over, there were no comments (there were only 3).

Michael Ecklund

@AahanKrish As far as I know, they don't want chitter chatter. Just questions and answers.

Aahan Krish

@MichaelEcklund yeah... I don't have rights to delete "obsolete" comments (on WPSE), and my last couple of flags were declined :S

(it's probably the mods sending me a message, "GET A LIFE!")

userabuser

muhahaha

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish I have a second solution to your footer issue

html { min-height:100%; background:#225E9B; }

if the content cant fill the height of the browser, the body will give the content a white bg, but the html element will be the full page height, so it gets the blue footer colour, so there's no big white band at the bottom

Rarst

08:07

github.com/zamoose/themehookalliance interesting if it gets anywhere... Hybrid already does something like this so would be trivial to add support for

Tom J Nowell

08:38

@Rarst Its like OGL boilerplate but more verbose

glBegin();
go stuff
glEnd();

userabuser

Original Gangster boilerplate? for real..

Tom J Nowell

09:20

hmm is there an article anywhere that explains the mechanism behind bbpress and buddypresses template defaults thing?

kaiser

@Rarst Great. That's exactly what my "framework" does since ages. Incl. auto hooking of template parts...

But without such a mess.

Rarst

@TomJNowell @kaiser plenty of framework do thing like that, the point of THA is to genericise it

@kaiser markup there is just example/concept implementation, obviously every theme will have its own

kaiser

@Rarst In my case everything is generic/context specific and alligned to template part naminging.

Aahan Krish

@TomJNowell Isn't this very overwhelming vs this one? Also, see how Google does it. Probably, strip/band-like footer isn't such an awful thing after all?

@TomJNowell Oh :P I think I understand what you meant. My content is already long enough, and if someone has a larger screen, the little space that's left will be filled with the footer color. Isn't that the thinking?

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish yes that is correct, you may also want a minimum height on the main content area too

say 400-600px

the content area should always be bigger than the footer and header on that site

Aahan Krish

09:33

@TomJNowell But I've already made sure that no page on the site is small now -- take a look: whatthenerd.com/contact-us

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish whatthenerd.com/?s=564564&submit.x=0&submit.y=0

Aahan Krish

You got me :D

@TomJNowell 400px will look better on smaller screens

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish you can, and should build things so that theyre flexible to handle these things

@AahanKrish try 60% of the screen height

also try the resolutiontest chrome extension

brb

Aahan Krish

I already have it

ok

Aahan Krish

09:55

@TomJNowell Some thinking to do for larger screens (h-1440, h-1600). Strip-footer looks better on larger screens.

I will take care of it... :)

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish I disagree, make the content block taller with a min height

for reference my screen is 1080p

Aahan Krish

@TomJNowell mine too. Try the search pages for instance.. with a min-height of 600px they start to look bad.

So, I'd have to go with 400px. Okay, not a problem. But how about screen sizes h-1440 and h-1600? (h = vertical resolution)?

the blue background is very dominant

@TomJNowell e.g. img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/7/18320542622-orig.jpg

@TomJNowell By the way, do you hate this? i.imgur.com/wmV2B.png

Tom J Nowell

10:10

I would add more to your 404/nothing found page

like recent posts, or suggestions

helpful suggestions

profitable suggestions.....

same with search, you could add a 'you searched for X' kind of things, Y many where found

Rarst

@kaiser in my case it's Hybrid's atomic hooks :)

Aahan Krish

@TomJNowell right.... better idea (I was clumsy enough to avoid that thought)

@TomJNowell Forget about it. I'll deal with it. Which of these two solutions do you think is better? wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/52662/10691

kaiser

@Rarst Like carrington nano template stuff?

Rarst

@kaiser hadn't used carrington

Tom J Nowell

10:29

@kaiser nano templates?

@AahanKrish mine

the one where you don't have a lead image as the first image in your post

where it's a simple has_post_thumbnail or something

and no regex/jquery/dom objects involved

its faster

more flexible, and it's easier to maintain

kaiser

@TomJNowell Something I read in source years ago. maybe they're naming it otherwise

Aahan Krish

@TomJNowell True... I decided not to use it for a reason. Anyway, now that I don't remember it, I looking at how I can set mutiple featured images for posts

(or will you say NO! to that too?)

kaiser

@StephenHarris Lend me a helping hand?

Stephen Harris

@kaiser I can try :)

kaiser

@StephenHarris :)

\wp-admin\includes\plugin-install.php - LINE 42

apply_filters('plugins_api', false, $action, $args);

↑ This one always returns FALSE for has_filter().

I attached a cb to the filter inside a classes __construct() ( - which gets hooked on init). Which hook should I use else to make this one work? Can't get behind what filter/hook gets fired.

I already looked at other examples and all of them seem to simply hook on init...

@StephenHarris Nvm. Found the error: if ( 'plugins.php' !== $GLOBALS['pagenow'] ) return;

Locking myself out ... again :P

Stephen Harris

10:43

@kaiser yup, init works for me :)

kaiser

@StephenHarris Now the only thing I'm wondering is if I could use any check to avoid loading this on every screen ... ?

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish no, because I originally suggested it to you, twice

Stephen Harris

@kaiser depends when you need to filter it? Every time plugins_api is called?

Aahan Krish

@TomJNowell lol! No for what? multiple featured images? (In that case I know your reason :) )

kaiser

@StephenHarris I'm trying to update from a github repo...

Tom J Nowell

10:47

@AahanKrish no no no I say YESSS to multiple featured images

but I would say an even bigger YES to just using the featured image anyway

Stephen Harris

@kaiser how will plugins_api help? That will check the wp repo?

kaiser

@StephenHarris No. The ↑ above filter gets saved into a var $res and the update from repo will only happen if $res is FALSE, so I'm basically overriding.

Aahan Krish

@TomJNowell Hmm... okay. I'll go with 1 featured image now, 'coz I can always switch to multiple featured images if I ever need it! :D For now I will let that question run, lets see what solutions people cook up

Stephen Harris

@kaiser ok, I get you now. Set it to false then use plugins_api_result

kaiser

right

Stephen Harris

10:54

mmm... well plugins_api could be called anywhere. So I would just hook onto on init and not worry about the overhead - its going to be minimal right?

kaiser

@StephenHarris Depending. I'm using the default 12h (when not in DEV mode) for the transient, but I'd like to avoid any overhead in any case.

Stephen Harris

@kaiser well plugin-install.php calls it. as does update-core.php

But I've never looked into the details of how WordPress checks for updates. It does so with transients/cron? Presumably plugins_api could be triggered by this on any screen?

kaiser

@StephenHarris Right: Transient. And I guess, it could be triggered on any screen.

@StephenHarris if ( ! in_array( $GLOBALS['pagenow'], array( 'plugins.php', 'plugin-install.php' ) ) ) ... work fine. Thanks!

Stephen Harris

11:11

@kaiser even when triggered by the transient?

kaiser

@StephenHarris Transient is set to reset after 0, so yes so far. Currently testing.

Somewhere in my script, everything starts failing when the folder name contains an empty space. Don't get behind what exactly is wrong, but in core functions.php somewhere it starts asking for the file/foldername without spaces and fopen() fails hardly...

kaiser

@kaiser are you a ticking time bomb?

kaiser

anu

This is annoying: wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/5592/…

Surely functions shouldn't be deprecated unless there's a replacement available?

anu

13:42

So, is accepted practise to continue using the deprecated function, or write something that essentially duplicates it to avoid the dep notice?

kaiser

@anu There's the direct query example - which imho should be the solution. It works.

anu

@kaiser yup, that's what i was going to do, it just seems weird, as the query is basically the same as the one in get_blog_list (the where clauses probably should be added to the direct query anyway)

kaiser

@anu I don't remember what it was, but I ran into another example of "deprecation without replacement" some weeks ago. Seems like core devs got their own plans for all of us. The replacement propably is wp_remote_get( 'nacins_brain', array( 'sslverify' => true ) );...

anu

@kaiser lol

is there a general purpose $wpdb facility to only return part of a result set - ie a general purpose equivalent to "posts_per_page" for the post query object

13:56

@kaiser does that just works on wp_query though? would a call to $wpdb->get_results use that filter too?

kaiser

@anu I guess, but not shure. Normally every $wpdb query should result in all those filters.

Give it a try

anu

cool - i'll check it out

Stephen Harris

When you thought it was dead.... query_posts!

0

A: show posts only on homepage but using custom post type and taxonomy for query posts via url

This is because query_posts replaces the original query with a new one (which includes all the listed post types). For other reasons, you should not use query_posts! For your purposes you can use the pre_get_post hook. This is fired before the database is queried for posts. The 'main query' is...

Tom J Nowell

14:21

it should be renamed to something else like adjust_query

Brady

Anyone know where I can hook into to see if single post of a CPT? I can use a template file single-{CPT}.php but I need a hook thats earlier to issue a redirect or a 404

pre_get_posts is too early as I need to know the post ID

userabuser

@Brady Can you use conditional tags such as is_singular and is_single together?

then issue your redirect...

Brady

@userabuser still need to know the post ID

pre_get_posts is what it says. it runs before its got data from the db

At that point it doesnt know the ID

userabuser

so you want to know if a post belongs to a CPT?

that's what is_singular is for...

no ID required...

Brady

@userabuser your missing what I'm after

Stephen Harris

14:32

@Brady template_redirect?

or template_include

...depending on what you actually want to do....

Brady

I can hook init and do what I want there but is that the right place? Can I run earlier?

userabuser

hrrrm...

Brady

I have a CPT that has custom meta that will redirect to somewhere else

userabuser

"see if single post of a CPT" <-- what does that mean then?

Stephen Harris

@Brady I would go for template_redirect if you're redirecting somewhere else...

userabuser

14:34

Ok, do you need to know the ID of the post up front?

Brady

I can use single-cpt.php and do the redirect there but the problem is that WP has fully loaded with the template engine to do a redirect. Plus I have wasted one PHP file

@StephenHarris will try that

userabuser

@Brady single-cpt is no different than is_singular with the exception that you don't need to create a template file to handle your redirect.

if(is_singular('cpt_here')) { template_redirect bla bla }

Brady

@userabuser Go back to sleep ;)

@userabuser Im looking for a hook not a conditional function...

Stephen Harris

@Brady Why is pre_get_posts too early? If it's for a singular post you'll have the ID/slug already...?

Brady

@StephenHarris slug yes ID no

Stephen Harris

14:40

@Brady from which you can get the ID? Alternatively, template_redirect is fired before the template is chosen but after the db has been queried

@Brady If you can do what you want in init, then you can do it in pre_get_posts

Aahan Krish

@Mods... this conversation is totally useless. the OP won't test my answer. Clearly the comments are obsolete. Please delete them?

this: wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/57267/10691

userabuser

@AahanKrish No its not, the conversation alludes to the fact that your answer may in fact also work, which may be helpful for someone else, even if the OP doesn't want to test or select your answer. I say leave it in place.

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish to be fair the other answer was simpler, your final comment could be taken as hostile, and I agree his response about the programmer mentality was not a nice response

I say make no change

Aahan Krish

Guys, I am NOT talking about the answer. I am talking about the COMMENTS.

@TomJNowell Actually, I did try the other method even before he posted the answer. It breaks text / image in the post, unless the OP uses a number of clear:both. I wanted to see if there's a better solution, and thought using span instead of div was simply better

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish then say so and point it out =p

Aahan Krish

14:54

@TomJNowell He'll see it for himself to night.

When you ask a question, you are supposed to be ready to check all answers, be nice to the answerer, and stuff. I didn't like the way he dealt with it.

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish seems like it would depend on the theme and the theme styling

Aahan Krish

@TomJNowell maybe. I just made a quick try.

userabuser

@AahanKrish I am talking about the COMMENTS, not the ANSWER.

userabuser

14:58

its Toscho's fault anyway

Aahan Krish

@userabuser what did he do?

anu

@AahanKrish you didn't, but you're getting way too excited about something trivial.

userabuser

@AahanKrish nothing, just trying to defuse the situation with nonsense...

Aahan Krish

@anu The only thing I "didn't like" is he didn't even want to test my answer. And why should he test my answer?— because even though the other answer may seem trivial, and simple, some other answer may actually work better. Hmm... maybe I did get much too excited. ;)

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish the other answer didnt get tested either =p

I recommend cutting your losses

userabuser

15:03

"Why" doesn't constitute "must". He might very well be lazy. Also, as you can see Tom pointed out a potential flaw for which could mean he needs to test your answer anyway.

anu

He's under no obligation to test your answer, especially if there'a an answer he prefers.

Tom J Nowell

and he's wasted his own time by not testing anyway

also he's in chat watching

Aahan Krish

Yeah right... and after a day or 2 he comes back to tell me my answer didn't work... and I am supposed to re-read all the stuff I did now, to answer the question, to correct my answer. We need to make things easier, not tougher.

userabuser

@AahanKrish Are you proposing a mandatory time limit for which people should test answers?

Aahan Krish

@userabuser No.

@TomJNowell lol! he's not!

userabuser

15:06

Tom == Mike, its all a big trick.

Aahan Krish

Okay, I'll drop this conversation here. This is the effect of not eating anything since morning :S

Tom J Nowell

@AahanKrish psych

Aahan Krish

hehe!

userabuser

@AahanKrish If you simplified your answer to the CSS (inline-block) then also added another CSS declaration for images with the fancybox class, all his images would align nicely and would suffice as being a super easy solution

Aahan Krish

15:25

@userabuser divs have issues with inline-block

that's the inherent reason why I had to use the filter function

userabuser

float:left then, remove the clear both... ensure rogue <p> tags that stand on their own are also cleared and its solved.

Aahan Krish

@userabuser Look at the page he linked in the question. If he does as you say, he'd have to use something like <div style="clear:both;"></div> instead :)

userabuser

Your solution is one more complexity, which is suitable for this site, it appears though as if he wants an easy-peasy solution which is CSS based in nature which should be asked at SO because it has little to do with us. I'd personally go with your answer, at least test it.

Aahan Krish

floating doesn't seem to fit his case. Not unless he's ready edit the post wrt to the css

userabuser

@AahanKrish I already did, I even ran the tests and it works fine for me...

Then he's dreaming for a quick fix if he doesn't want to

Q: Custom plugin, Custom Post types, and Theme question

Most of you are familiar with Custom Post types. My custom plugin is utilizing them, and I want to theme my own "single-my_custom_cpt.php" file. However, I want to store it in my plugin folder, and allow that it be over-written in the websites' active theme folder. For example, single-my_custom...

custom-post-types plugin-development theme-development

All three suggested duplicates are not duplicates. What is going on here? :)

userabuser

Oh you didn't hear? He's drunk...

Aahan Krish

@userabuser Did you scroll down? The it's breaks down the page. Besides if it's css the question should be closed or moved :D

userabuser

@toscho wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/55770/… seems plausible though...

Aahan Krish

What I didn;t tell you is that I actually flagged the question before answering. :)

toscho

15:37

@userabuser It is related but really not a duplicate.

Stephen Harris

@toscho there how to use a template from a plug-in rather than theme though?

@toscho feel free to copy and paste and change taxonomy template to the single template... :)

toscho

No it is more specific. I think he is asking for something like this.

userabuser

@AahanKrish The only thing it breaks are those images that are not styled with the .wp-caption element. For which you'd need to then add another declaration for the <img> files held within the a.href class of fancybox (more css). But if you want to be technical you'll notice he only references wanting to make his images two columns for those which have captions. For which the above would work fine. If that does not suffice then he needs to add more CSS and yes... not a WPSE issue.

toscho

I’ll write an answer … and rewrite the question.

userabuser

@AahanKrish ...unless he wants to test your answer, its border-line flagable as being too localized an issue.

Aahan Krish

15:40

@userabuser so, what do we do? flag?

@userabuser Clearly, he doesn't even think mine is an answer. So, what he's expecting is clearly off-topic IMO

nevermind. We can't be sure about that either. :P

userabuser

If that is the case, being that he doesn't feel the need to tackle this from a WP perspective, it needs to be shifted to SO. If you flag it, I would update the answer (don't remove anything) but just quickly add the reference to floating his wp-captions and removing the clear:both declaration. If he comes back and says I don't want that for all pages, then you can provide an extended WP function to add a unique body class to specific/page/id/CPT that will allow selective styling.

Failing that, then he is in the wrong place!

Its a shame though, because I'm giving you an upvote for effort in thinking about how to tackle this with regexp (from a WP angle)...

Stephen Harris

@toscho So locate a custom template in the theme?

Aahan Krish

A: Load different template file when condition met?

Can you perform the logic on the template_include filter? Else, you could set a global/constant and use that in template_include to serve up the appropriate template. The template_include filter filers the path to the template file to be included. To avoid errors you should check if the template...

@AahanKrish I might, I might not. Time is of the essence. Play the question by ear and see where it goes... if it heads south, then you'll know what to do.

Aahan Krish

@userabuser flagging it as "needs mod attention" with details "too localized, vague, off-topic" — vague because he doesn't tell us how exactly he wants us to tackle the issue

@userabuser Flagged! Go ahead!

toscho

@StephenHarris That’s not the same as a fallback.

Stephen Harris

@toscho yeah is - condition is that it doesn't exist in the theme folder...

For which you use template_include since this passes the template

toscho

@StephenHarris That’s … a rather free interpretation. :)

Blog - Stack Exchange: Dr. Strangedupe: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying And Love Duplication

Jeff Atwood on November 15, 2010

As Stack Overflow grows — or any other Q&A site in the Stack Exchange network, really — there’s a natural pressure to discover and link duplicate questions. The more questions you have, the higher the possibility a given new question isn’t in fact a new question, but a duplicate of an older existing question. Because of this, we’ve continually enhanced the tools for finding, linking, and merging duplicate questions:

Q: Custom Taxonomy in plugin and template

I have a plugin that I am developing that is using custom post types and taxonomies. My question is this. How can I load the content/theme data from my plugin on to the page when the go to the custom url of the taxonomy? EDIT I am trying to use the plugin's template files and not the themes for...

plugins custom-taxonomy template

@toscho can't hurt though right :). But why do you use template_redirect and not template_include?

toscho

@StephenHarris Hm … doesn’t mater much, does it?

Stephen Harris

16:01

@toscho well a third party plugin can't do much if you redirect. template_include allows the template file to be filtered.

toscho

@StephenHarris This question is not asking for a fallback, it wants to enforce a special template.

Stephen Harris

@toscho that's true... gave that for free I guess :)

toscho

But if I hook into 'template_redirect' a third party plugin can still hook into 'template_include' and change my choice.

No, wait, that’s wrong

sigh changed my answer. Thanks Stephen. :)
