Hopefully someone can help me out with this. I am upgrading a widget from the (really) old method of get_option/update_option to store/retrieve widget options to use the newer Widget API. The goal is to be able to use multiple instances of the widget, which I have successfully done, but now I'm running into a problem.
The plugin I'm working with is currently being used on somewhere between 500 and 1000 sites, most of which have some of the plugin widgets enabled. If I commit the widget upgrades to the next release of our plugin, all sites will lose the option values and placement of existing widgets. Does anyone know of a way around this?
Looks like WordPress will take care of it for you - new widgets store a _multiwidget key in the settings array, if it's not there, wp_convert_widget_settings() gets on the case.

My team and I are currently developing WordPress using Elementor as the theme builder. Every member of the team will use their laptop/PC to develop. Because we using Elementor, any changes that occur will immediately change the data in our database. If we just upload our database to the server, obviously it will keep overwriting previous changes. Is there any best practice to develop WordPress using Elementor in order to avoid this kind of risk?
Thank you guys :)
Why don't you work directly online with several administrators? If someone is modifying a page, Wordpress will ask you if you want to take the lead on it (and overwrite previous changes from your colleagues)
Moreover, you can still define draft pages so you won't affect the live website and then, when it is ready, you can switch for the new page!
I need your help. Its my first time when I use woocomerce in WP and I don't know how to add custom button. On public product view I must add button with link to selected wikipedia page. On private admin product view I need custom url or text field in (wp-admin->product->add product).
Okey now I create custom field and taxonomiex but I don't know what next.
I tried to find some tutorials but I did not give advice.
I also had a similar situation like this. I purchased a plugin to fix it due to tight deadline. You can do it using below methods:
1) By using ready to use plugins
https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-custom-product-data-fields/screenshots/
(Free one)
https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-custom-fields-product-addons/11332742
(Paid one)
2) You can also create a plugin by yourself
Basically a plugin will allow you to modify the site as you require without modifying the wordpress core. Learn about Hooks and Filters.
I would suggest you to go with 2nd option, learn to develop plugins so that it will be helpful for you in the long run. Read the documentation https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API. It will take some time but it is worth it.
I am currently trying to build a website for a client using WordPress for a school project. The client requires a user system with a log in and storage of user permissions and information.I downloaded a plugin called Simple Membership because it had the best reviews for user membership plugins.
The biggest problem I am experiencing at the moment is the default contact information that comes with the plugin is not the information I wish to store. I need other fields to be stored. I am a developer so I first took a look at the code using FTP and made a few changes just to the registration form to show off to the client for the first iteration.
I have now been made aware that when updating the plugin all of my changes will be overridden. I am here to ask if there is an efficient way to make changes to a plugin without creating a new plugin(does not seem practical, I need to change the function of this plugin not just add to it). At the moment that is the only solution I am aware of. Can someone point me in the right direction?
It may not be the best solution but it's practical on your case.Take a backup of your formula plugin and re install it if a new update comes in.
I just recently started working with a Magento site, and so far I'm really not liking it. I need to remove a couple links from the main navigation, but I can't seem to find the option for it. I've googled it numerous times, and all I see are examples for coding the navigation. My question is, can you edit the site navigation like you can with say wordpress? Seeing how it's a cms I'd imagine the user should be able to make changes to the navigation using some type of interface, and without having to pull the files from the server and edit them.
Also just out of curiosity, for anyone experienced with Magento would you say it's a good choice for a cms? I've heard of it before, but haven't seen many sites that use it.
No!, so you have three options here.
Learn how to extend the navigation with the 100's of tutorials out there, it is really not that hard, assuming you have a theme you just have to edit app/design/frontend/[theme]/default/template/page/html/topmenu.phtml
Get an extension to do it for you.
Hire a developer to do it for you, we create a static block with installer for the html which make it slightly more user friendly to update in the future.
Stackoverflow is a bad place to ask questions like this, it is aimed at programmers and doing such a procedure is rudimentary stuff, I really hope you are a client trying to be cheap rather than someone who claims they can run this site.
Edit: The cms features are ok but you need to be able to code to set them all up so the end user can make the changes with WYSIWYG.
If you don't want to code for navigation then you can do below things
1) Create category and then Display Settings=>Display Mode=>static block only and Display Settings=>CMS Block=>static block name. In static block u can include in page url or custom page
2)You need to hire developer
If you're using Magento and have an integrated WordPress blog, it's possible to design a completely custom menu in the WordPress Admin using the menu builder. You have complete control over what menu items you want and the hierarchy of each item.
To get this to work, you need to integrate your WordPress blog using WordPress Integration in full integration mode. Your Magento template also has to be using the default Topmenu block.
I just found out about BuddyPress (a collection of plugins that convert a WordPress MU install into a social network) and now I was wondering if there are any Digg-like voting plugins for WordPress. This would eventually integrate into a BuddyPress website, where the site members would submit, vote and comment on stories (much like Digg).
I have a feeling I will end up having to build this from scratch, but since the site will be built on WordPress, I was wondering if there were any plugins already available that add this functionality. So far I have come up empty in my search. I did find a Wordpress blog that had this functionality WpVote. It even creates thumbnails of the story webpage automatically (I'm assuming) using websnapr. I browsed through the page source and didn't seem to find any hints of a WP plugin that they are using.
I've successfully used TDO Mini Forms for user submissions combined with Vote it up to build a digg-style site.
You can create a "top votes" page using the MostVotedAllTime_Widget() function from Vote it up, or use the SortVotes() or GetVoteArray() functions to build and style your own top votes list in a customised page template.
You'll find the full list of available functions in /vote-it-up/votingfunctions.php
BuddyPress Links is what you're looking for:

Or you can try:
Pligg Voting CMS
when i was start to build my own social bookmarking, i using voteitup plugin but if you want to build your own vote button you can visit bavotasan.com and search post "simple-voting for-wordpress-with-php-and-jquery"
take a look at my own social bookmarking using it : http://nestdev.com
http://prothemedesign.com/themes/nominate-for-wordpress/
is a premium theme I've come across but never used. It's a WP version of Digg and I believe pretty good.
Personally I use Drigg which is a Drupal version of Digg. See it in action here: http://weblinks.myfriendshotel.com Unfortunately, however, WebSnapr have just changed their code so the site is no longer showing thumbanails but hopefully as a 'non-programmer' I'll find a solution soon...
Is this what you're after?

I think [wpvote][1] use drigg module for drupal. I've just found buddypress plugin which has similiar function like digg social bookmarking. more detail
Not sure if this is still relevant or not but the theme used for WPVote.com has now been released on Pro Theme Design - http://prothemedesign.com/themes/nominate-for-wordpress/
