I don't know what is wrong with me. I just simple generated a file using build.reduxframework.com and then added in my Wordpress theme. Then added the following line to functions.php
if(is_admin()){
require_once(get_template_directory().'/core/admin/admin-init.php');
}
Good thing is the demo stuff is showing up. Now my $opt_name is for_test. In my header.php I am adding the following code.
<h2><?php
global $for_test;
echo $for_test['textarea-example'];
?></h2>
PS: textarea-example is the id of the field which is already added in the files I downloaded. But I don't know why it is not fetching the value in it.
is_admin() means that only admins will load that. So if you're logged out, your redux config will never load.
Best to just include it. Redux will take care of when it should run.

So I wrote a script which checks if there is a session with a certain name or not and echoes hello world but after switching to WordPress I wasn't able to use any of my old scripts. Whenever I type them it thinks they are text and just prints it. So I tried a couple of stuff like a plugin that I could add my script in and it produces a shortcode that I can use. I tried that but it didn't worked. I can't find what is happening.
Are there some sort of logs I can refer to? If someone knows the fix please help (I'll leave the code down below). result-id session is a msg and result session is another message.
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['result-id'])){
echo("hello world");
else if(isset($_SESSION['result'])){
echo $_SESSION['result'];
}
session_unset();
?>
To start using sessions in WordPress you need to start it using an action hook:
function start_wp_session(){
if( !session_id() )
session_start();
}
add_action('init','start_wp_session');
If you want to custom code in WordPress, first you must create a child-theme of your currently active theme. Then in the function .php file of your child theme folder, you can write any of your code. But you cannot start writing directly in function.php file. You must bind your code in a custom function, and then hook that function with any hooks present in the WordPress.
Example hooks- wp_header, wp_footer, init, etc.
See the example below.
function custom_function(){
echo "Hello World!";
}
add_action('wp_head','custom_function');
You can wrap any code inside the custom function.
I have this in my index.php file. It adds the home banner image in WordPress. I know that it is mostly generated in WordPress customizer, but I need to add an anchor tag in this section. I can't find it anywhere in the file structure.
<?php do_action('cleanblog_index_top'); ?>
I'm not able to find where cleanblog_index_top leads to. Any help would be great. Thank you!
I stumbled on this old one while looking up the docs for do_action(). The answers are brutal so I decided to provide a better answer in case anyone else stumbles here.
If a WordPress theme has something like do_action( 'example_action_hook_tag' ) somewhere in one of the template files (such as index.php, page.php or whatever) the purpose is to provide theme or plugin authors with a way to write their own custom function that they can then "hook" onto the action with the function add_action().
WordPress would then call this function any time and anywhere do_action( 'example_action_hook_tag' ) is called.
The creators of commercial themes will often litter their template files with hooks declared with do_action() to make it easier for their customers to customize their themes via functions.php or by writing a site-specific plugin.
It looks to me that this is the likely scenario that is impacting the OP. This also explains why the OP was unsuccessful in finding where this "leads to".
It would only "lead somewhere" if the OP wrote a function in the theme/child-theme functions.php or in a plugin and added the line do_action( 'cleanblog_index_top', 'name_of_ops_function' ) to hook their function onto the cleanblog_index_top. WordPress would then call their function when do_action( 'cleanblog_index_top' ) was called in index.php.
From the name of the OP's hook, cleanblog_index_top, it sounds like the theme author intended to provide a way for others to inject output at the top of the index page template.
Suppose the OP wanted <h1>Hello World</h1> to appear there.
In functions.php of a theme/child-theme the OP could add a function that echo's this out:
function op_customization() {
echo '<h1>Hello World</h1>';
}
And hook their function onto cleanblog_index_top:
add_action( 'cleanblog_index_top', 'op_customization' );
Cheers!
You should never edit the index.php file directly, for the same reason you should never edit core Wordpress files directly - the next time WP pushes an update, your changes will be overwritten (and that assumes you don't break anything). Never edit plugin files directly, same reason.
You need to look in your theme, you should only make changes to the functions.php and style.css files in your theme - unless you create a child theme and that is a topic you should Google.
I am having a problem with a site I am developing with wordpress.
It happened after upgrading to the latest version (4.7)
Anyway. Go to the site www.scientized.com (just dummy content for now), and go the source. At around line 124 you see the tag <style type="text/css" id="wp-custom-css"> and then after some css is loaded.
The thing is, is that this some of my old css code from way early. To make life easier and to isolate the problem I have delete all css in my child themes style.css as well as the custom css in the customizer, and delete jetpack just to be sure. Yet this css is being loaded from somewhere. I have file explored the crap out of my site trying to find where this is located, but couldn't find anything.
I have found that in the wp-includes/theme.php there is this function:
function wp_custom_css_cb() {
$styles = wp_get_custom_css();
if ( $styles || is_customize_preview() ) : ?>
<style type="text/css" id="wp-custom-css">
<?php echo strip_tags( $styles ); // Note that esc_html() cannot be used because `div > span` is not interpreted properly. ?>
</style>
<?php endif;
}
so this wp_get_customer_css() function is calling the old css from somewhere -- I tried to follow the functions back to see where - but my php is not that good and got lost. Does anyone know where this is being loaded from?
I think I need to know where the JetPack custom css location is. I have read it is generated dynamically -- so I am not sure how to go about the problem.
Edit: I dont get the text box in the custom css area in customizer. Where is this text located?

The Additional CSS content is stored in wp_posts database table as a separate record. It's post_type is set to custom_css. To find which post is assigned to the field, you need to look in the option theme_mods_{your theme's slug}.
For example, here is the one from my test Sandbox site which is running the Genesis Sample theme. The post ID is 31, per the key custom_css_post_id.
How do I check my site?
You can go directly into your database via phpMyAdmin and look in the wp_options table. Or...you can do this:
add_action( 'init', 'check_custom_css_post_id_theme_mod' );
function check_custom_css_post_id_theme_mod() {
var_dump( get_theme_mods() );
}
The above code will display the theme mods for your current theme. Note the one that is keyed as 'custom_css_post_id'. That one holds the ID to the post for the CSS.
How to Remove It
To remove a theme mod, you use remove_theme_mod( 'custom_css_post_id' );. See codex for the documentation on this construct. It will remove the binding between the Additional CSS. How? It deletes the sub-option.
Note, it does not delete the post record, meaning you'll have an orphaned record in wp_posts.
The wp-custom-css is loaded from custom css & js
I am creating a custom members area for my client's employees. Basically, what I've done so far is I created a new role=consultants and I gave that role a read only access.
Then I uploaded the Peter's Login Redirect Plugin so that the consultants (employees) land in a page called CONSULTANTS PORTAL. From there, they will be able to access their individual page which it will load as long as the name of the page matches the username given to them. That way they can only see their own page.
To see this process, you can visit this link in the wordpress.org forums EASY CLIENT PORTAL
So I've managed a lot of it, except...I am supposed to duplicate the page.php and then add the script that will make the individual page show up. But, the Genesis Framework is pretty complicated. The page.php has an empty skeleton and the actual meat of the page is in a li/structure root folder (That's what I think anyway) .
As it is right now, I have the following in my default template page consultants-portal.php
<?php
/**
* Template Name: Consultants Portal
*/
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$page = get_page_by_title($current_user->user_login);
_e($page->post_content);
genesis();
?>
This code gets me this. You can see the content (my page) loading before the page loads. Which tells me there is something else I need to add to this so that the content loads in the actual white area of the page.
The instructions in the link I mentioned says to add the dynamic script right above the is_page or have_posts, but I as I said, Genesis doesn't have this in page.php. instead it is all broken in pieces and spread through the root.
Sorry if I made this too long to read, I wanted you to have all the info I have.
has anyone done this before?
Try out the following code:
<?php
/**
* Template Name: Consultants Portal
*/
// remove Genesis default loop
remove_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘genesis_do_loop’ );
// add a custom loop
add_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘my_custom_loop’ );
function my_custom_loop () {
// add your queries or custom structure here
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$page = get_page_by_title($current_user->user_login);
_e($page->post_content);
}
genesis(); ?>
Instead of writing the code directly, write it inside the loop function as above.
I am working on a wordpress site and would like to clarify a basic concept that is definitely very important, and this is how to customize/extend a wordpress hook (at least that's what I think I want to do!)
As the real world example, I am setting up a wp-ecommerce site. When a user adds an item to the cart, I would like to do one or two more things than the original function does. Looking through the source, I find:
/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-includes/ajax.functions.php
with the function:
function wpsc_add_to_cart()
I know I could simply edit the code right here, but obviously that is the completely wrong way to go about it as when the plugin is updated, I will lose changes. What is the correct way to extend a function that is part of a plugin, or wordpress for that matter?
Endless thanks in advance.
You can use the wordpress action hooks to resolve the code loss while plugin upgrade.
You can remove the function which is in plugin file by using remove_action hook and do your own code by adding add_action in your function.php file. So that you can customize your plugin code from theme's function.php.
Here are the examples to explain.I hope it will help.

I use a little supressed notice function (it lives in my child themes function.php page), for plugins that get irritating eg: please setup twitter account to use , this kind of warning is not useful at certain stages and sometimes just do not care for it.
function supressed_notices_active(){
echo '<div class="error"><p>Supressed Notices are active</p></div>';
}
if(function_exists('the_plugin_custom_function_call')){
remove_action('the_plugin_custom_function_call' );
add_action('admin_notices','supressed_notices_active');
}else{
function test_message_from_me(){
echo '<h1>show</h1>';
}
add_action('admin_notices','test_message_from_me');
}
So I create the supressed notice function to at least create a warning, so i remember.
Check if the target function exists with the function_exists($target_function) hook
then remove this action from running with the remove_action($tag,$target_function) hook
then just add your custom function with the add_action($tag,$target_function) hook (do not need to have a separate function this could just be a closure)
then else if the function does not exist either still run a new action or leave this section, it can be useful for testing to just add anything so you atleast get some feed back.
What you could try... Copy the function within the plugin file,
paste it into your themes functions.php file,
ie:
function wpsc_add_to_cart() {
global $wpdb, $wpsc_cart;
// default values etc..etc..
// new code here?
}
the only thing with this is, if the plugin is updated and that funciton is renamed or removed, changed or something you could start to run into trouble...
could you not ask the plugin developer to possibly add your requirements to it,
possibly for a small fee? but if your using it as your main shopping cart, then chances are, that small investment could be a good thing.
