' ); // just keep the tag we need For some reason this function is not working properly at all on some templates (or that is the way it seems) and instead of returning all the

tags is cutting a lot of them out, making it seem to the server like there is no target link in the source URI, and thus returning a pingback fault 17 unnecessarily. And this means a large percentage of genuine pingbacks are failing without the user even knowing about it! I suspect the function is having trouble with plugins that insert javascript near the header of the page, though it could be otherwise, as I have done a test to see what is left after this line is run, it returns some garbled javascript, no links at all from the post content (where the source links actually were), and then the menu links. I have included a workaround in my new plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pingchecker/ Basically it does a regex match for links in your content, then echoes them in a hidden div in the footer, making it much easier for the strip_tags function to actually find them. It works pretty well so I'm not fussed myself, but I thought it worth writing about.. This line really needs to be replaced with the regex match in the actual server code for future WordPress users too. I don't know regex myself, but I used sample code I found here (http://regexadvice.com/forums/thread/48395.aspx) for this regex expression, which seems to work really well. In any case, strip_tags is not doing a reliable job at this and needs replacing. Hopefully this finds its way to the right person able to fix this.

Fix would be to add 'attachment' to the `post_type IN` clause for hierarchical types. See attachments-hierarchically-unique.diff. Still puzzling out why/if attachments need to be unique against non-hierarchical types since there shouldn't be collisions as attachment URLs are subpage style.

When you make a new custom post type, if you have WordPress register a UI for it, it outputs a screen named ""All XXXX's"". Within these, WordPress automatically adds filters. So let's say I've registered a CPT called Downloads. So I can now use the built in UI for Downloads and filter the page to show just pending downloads, or just published downloads, for instance. However, the issue becomes what if you want to display a column for some views, but not others. For instance, if Downloads has a column called ""Sales"" where the number of sales of that particular download is stored, it makes no sense to show that column on Pending Downloads (since they can't have sales before being published). Currently, at least after days of trying to find a way of doing this, there is no way to do this for the tables registered by WordPress. If I make my own List_Table, then I can do this. However, there should be a way of adding columns based on filter, so that a developer who adds a column programmatically can go: {{{ if($view != pending){ // register sales column } }}} Feel free to correct me if I've overlooked a method of doing this. -Chris" chriscct7 Enhancements Awaiting Review 22474 Change case in Hello world!

Essentially this involves adding an is_string() check on $deps before checking if it's not an array, and creating an array with a single element in the case that it is a string. {{{ if ( !is_array($this->deps) ) $this->deps = array(); }}} becomes {{{ if ( is_string( $this->deps ) ) $this->deps = (array) $this->deps; elseif ( !is_array( $this->deps ) ) $this->deps = array(); }}} See the attached diff for a proposed patch." vhauri has-patch Enhancements Awaiting Review 23509 Conditional function that lets you know if your site is being viewed through the Customizer Appearance normal enhancement new 2013-02-19T01:41:24Z 2013-04-22T22:10:51Z "I can provide a use case if necessary, but this should be relatively simple.

There's not really a great way to do it, though, if your single-post-area doesn't end with the last line of body text. Many themes put the byline/date/metadata below -- rather than above, which used to be the norm -- the post content, including our own Twenty Eleven. See the screenshot to see how ugly it is when a plugin (or two, or more) uses the the_content filter to insert something at the ""end"" of each post. Inserting the sharing and like rows (in this example) at the bottom of the post text before the byline/classification metadata seems wrong. It should go below that, so it is closely related to commenting, not part of the content itself. The plugin-generated widget is not ""by"" the post author, after all. I have been told that options for addressing this are basically either modifying the theme and/or getting a new filter in place.

Unless someone is using a password storage system, the chances are good that the passwords they're choosing are really weak. We can mitigate this problem. 1. Let's make the default to always be that WordPress picks a password for you. When installing WordPress, or when creating a new user account, or when changing your password on your profile. The default should be that we generate a secure password for the user. They can remember it, write it down (not ideal, but generally more secure than choosing a weak password), or copy and use it once, check the ""remember me"" box, and not worry about it until their cookie expires on that computer. 2. If they do opt to manually create a password, we need to do better than our current password strength meter. And the lowest level should actually nag them with an AYS before they proceed. I suggest the following, to start, which would trigger the lowest level, and cause them to have to dismiss a warning (or check a checkbox...

So in order to check for the respective ages of 7 updates, admin needs to click back-and-forth 14 times to decide which plugins to update.

On such monitors, the layout of the WordPress Add Post/Add Page UI is not optimal. On, say, a 1920x1080 screen, the first column, containing the TinyMCE editor and title field, occupies the vast middle of the screen, with the WordPress chrome at the left and Column No. 2 at the right. If a user has chosen to show additional fields not shown by default - like Excerpt, Send Trackbacks, Custom Fields, Discussion, Slug, and Author - these all appear below the TinyMCE editor, out of sight on a widescreen. Take a lot at the screenshot attached to this ticket. Showing two columns by default is perfectly fine, but those with widescreen displays would benefit from gaining the ability to change the number of columns in the screen layout to three without needing a plugin, or having to hack the admin. This doesn't seem like it would be too difficult of an option to add to core. Allowing three columns to be set would permit users with hi-res monitors to easily make better use of the screen real estate: all of the available fields would be visible without the need for scrolling. Many users, incidentally, utilize fixed-width themes on their sites, and if the theme is sending its CSS to the post editor in order to enable the user to accurately preview what the text will look like (truer WYSIWYG), having a really wide post editor is especially useless. I've attached a three-column mockup I made in KolourPaint. The mockup shows what a three-column post editor layout could look like.

This wouldn't be bad if only one form is used on each page, but that is rarely the case in the admin panel. Currently, this only results in harmless HTML validation errors in admin, and in very rare situations (depending on plugins installed), can result in javascript scope-related issues breaking forms. This is an issue that keeps being reported and fixed several times (see #5962, #6564, r14737 from #13383, and the latest [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22712#comment:11 #22712]) by simply specifying the name in all locations that don't at the time in core. There's at least three different approaches that I can see where we could prevent this from popping back up in the future and encourage better coding habits. == A: Require the Name Parameter == The most obvious approach is to simply adds a `_doing_it_wrong()` call (though it could just be `_deprecated_argument()` instead) for any calls to `wp_nonce_field()` that don't specify the `name` parameter, forcing everyone to give nonce fields unique IDs (and names). A side-effect of this change is that it will also warn developers they are doing it wrong if they use `wp_nonce_field()` without the (also currently optional) `action` parameter, which is actually a good thing since the docs already warn that this is a security hole. There are 46 locations in core that would need updated with this change that make this mistake, and the fix for each of them with this change is exactly the same as what every other commit to fix this problem has always done: just specify the `name` to give a unique ID. The downside to this approach is that this pushes for an immediate change not only to all calls to `wp_nonce_field()`, but also their corresponding `check_admin_referer()` calls (to update the changed field name) in a single WP release, and considering how frequently it's called this way in core, I don't even have to look at plugins to see how often it happens there (it's going to be too many to count). This approach still results in an explicitly named ID that really doesn't need to be on the field in the first place in most locations. I gave this approach a shot anyway, and started on a patch just to see how much work it would be at least in core, but I started to find a few locations that could benefit from unique IDs, but similar field names. I also found myself already spending hours updating and testing just 9 of the 46 locations (unit tests don't cover this stuff) where I was forced to make changes to IDs that would be best left alone for now. I have attached this unfinished patch anyway if anyone is curious to see how it works, what it does, and to see what kinds of changes it ends up requiring. It's still possible to just pass ""_wpnonce"" as the `name` with this change, so the rest of the locations could simply use that to progressively work towards unique IDs, but I just don't see this as a good solution overall, and it seems like a lot of work for very little gain on a minor issue. == B: Use Action for ID or Remove ID Entirely == Another option might be to remove ID entirely, or use (and require) the action parameter as the ID. This would improve results with unique IDs fixing most locations where `wp_nonce_field()` is used without requiring a change to each one individually for most uses (except for nonces used with ajax calls). All locations in core at least use `action` already, so the case for using `action` as ID instead seems better than using `name`. Unfortunately, either removing or using the action parameter for ID (changing the ID) would obviously break a few plugins that made the mistake of relying on the default `_wpnonce` (or the current `name` value) value for `id` from within JavaScript code for existing form endpoints. In the WP.org plugin repo, this appears to happen in the following plugins (searching up through plugins starting with 'r') for forms using the default value: {{{ automatic-youtube-video-posts buddypress buddypress-backwards-compatibility canalblog-importer community-submitted-news eyes-only-plus facepress-ii globalfeed lazyest-gallery lazyest-maps maven-member pagely-reseller-management pluginbuddy-yourls post-event2 qtranslate-separate-comments repostus ... }}} There's likely way more plugins that post to core forms using a non-default `name` that would break though as well, and even though I think ID should have never been added to the nonce field attributes and was never necessary in the first place, compatibility rules would need to be broken if this approach was used. This of course means this option is most likely not really an option at all. == C: Use an Option Array Parameter in Place of Name == To keep this concise, this last approach basically involves changing `wp_nonce_field()` to: {{{ function wp_nonce_field( $options = array() ) { ... } }}} The `options` parameter is a standard arguments array used with `wp_parse_args()`. This accomplishes not just one, but two different goals. First, if `$options` is not an array or the method was called with anything other than 1 parameter, we know this is an older call that needs to use the `name` parameter for both `name` and `id`, using `func_get_args()` for the original arguments, and can do so for full 100% backwards compatibility. Second, unrelated to this issue, the function has been refactored to adhere to coding standards in regards to [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Coding_Standards#Self-Explanatory_Flag_Values_for_Function_Arguments self-explanatory flag values] as far as the `referrer` and `echo` options are concerned. The `options` array can then be made to accept the following settings: - action: The same unique name included in the nonce hash as is the case now. - name: The field name (and *only* used for the name attribute). (Default: ""_wpnonce"") - id: The field ID if this really is still desired, and can even be different than the name, but by default, the field won't have an ID at all. - referrer: Whether to set the referer field for validation. (Default: true) - echo: Whether to display or return hidden form field. (Default: true) The only downside here is that each `wp_nonce_field()` call will be more verbose in most cases, especially if they do need to use an ID. For example, this: {{{ wp_nonce_field('add-tag', '_wpnonce_add-tag'); }}} Will now become this: {{{ wp_nonce_field( array( 'action' => 'add-tag', 'name' => '_wpnonce_add-tag' ) ); }}} I see plenty of benefits to this last solution though, and it requires very few changes up front, so I think it comes down to this approach ultimately.

We propose that core introduce 4 new hooks into the default WordPress themes allowing plugins to add custom markup relative to common theme elements. While many other theme locations could be recognized, we have only included hooks that we could provide at least three use common use cases for. header_after: Allows custom markup to be inserted after all visual header elements have rendered. Possible use cases for this hook include: * Breadcrumb navigation. * Links to social profiles. * Advertising. * log in/out form. post_after: Allows custom markup to be inserted after all visual elements have rendered for the current global post object. This hook would fix the issue originally reported in #18561. Possible use cases for this hook include: * Sharing links. * Related posts. * Ratings. * Author bio. comment_after: Allows custom markup to be inserted after all visual elements have rendered for the current global comment object. Possible use cases for this hook include: * Upvote/Downvote control. * Ratings. * Show/hide threads functionality. footer_after: Allows custom markup to be inserted after all visual elements have rendered for the footer. While this action is similar to {{{wp_footer}}}, it would be possible for the theme author to move this into nested html elements. To my knowledge, {{{wp_footer}}} is intended to fire immediately before the closing {{{body}}} tag. Possible use case for this hook include: * Links to social profiles. * Advertising. * The ""small print"" or copyright information. If standardized hooks such as these were recognized by core, it would also have a positive effect on child theming. Theme authors would no longer need to override entire files just to introduce an element of two. We have prepared 3 patches for the default themes to demonstrate placement of these hooks as well as a plugin to demonstrate their usage." mfields Enhancements Awaiting Review 20816 custom-background $args enhancement Themes normal enhancement new 2012-06-02T04:56:46Z 2013-03-27T15:04:09Z "Looking to have added the rest of the arguments to pass through the $args to include the rest of the appearance -> background parameters including but not limited to position(x/y), repeat and attachment. `add_theme_support('custom-background', $args);` Example: {{{ array( 'default-color' => '000000', 'default-image' => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .

General normal feature request new 2012-10-21T23:29:13Z 2013-03-26T22:18:25Z "I think it should be easier to customize the loading of scripts and styles (easier to customize the markup generated by the script/style system). Proposed solutions: '''Solution 1:''' Allow `wp_enqueue_script`, `wp_enqueue_style`, `wp_register_script`, `wp_register_style` to accept an array of attributes as the `$src` parameter. For example: {{{ wp_enqueue_script( 'my-plugin', array( 'src' => 'http://example.com/js/app.js' 'defer' => '' 'data-my-plugin' => 'custom data attr value' ), array('jquery'), null, true ); }}} '''Solution 2:''' Add a filter before the markup is generated that allows devs to filter the attributes while they are in array format. For example: {{{ add_filter('script_loader_attrs', function ($attrs, $handle) { unset ( $attrs['type'] ); 'my-plugin' === $handle and $attrs['data-my-plugin'] = 'plugin data'; $attrs['src'] = remove_query_arg( $attrs['src'] ); return $attrs; }, 12, 2); }}} In class.wp-scripts.php it might look something like: {{{ $attrs = (array) apply_filters('script_loader_attrs', $attrs, $handle); }}} and/or: {{{ $attrs = (array) apply_filters(""{$handle}_script_loader_attrs"", $attrs ); }}} ---- I imagine that solution '''2''' would be easier to implement than '''1''', and '''2''' allows for themes/plugins to modify scripts/styles w/o re-registering resources. The key feature of both solutions is the ability to modify the attrs while in array format. There are other ways that one could achieve the same results, but the array is '''by far the cleanest'''. Dirty alternatives include: * Use `preg_replace()` on the markup after it is generated (see #22245) * Use output buffers and PHP's DOMElement interface * Filter away the ""print_scripts_array"" and regenerate the markupmanually.)" ryanve dev-feedback Enhancements Awaiting Review 19579 Make get_search_form() more filterable/extensible Template normal enhancement new 2011-12-16T15:16:17Z 2013-03-22T18:36:39Z "I notice that a lot of the time when Themes include custom search form markup via `searchform.php`, they are making very minor changes to the default markup.

So, in the interest of encouraging/facilitating use of the core markup, I propose making `get_search_form()` more extensible, similar to the extensibility of `comment_form()`. This patch replaces `$echo = true` with `$args = array()` as the parameter passed to `get_search_form()`, while retaining backward compatibility with `$echo = true`.

BuddyPress/bbPress) interface with themes, without needing to move template files directly into a theme's folder? Solution: generic.php ---- generic.php would be a template file that includes skeletal layout of the theme. In place of the content and the comment logic, is an action; for the sake of discussion, let's name this action 'generic_content' A concept file is attached for twentyeleven. This type of ability would help prevent a ton of additional processing that plugins currently need to do to hi-jack the_content output and noop the comment stream, in situations where a plugin needs to output HTML into the main content area of a theme. Rather than guessing at template names, and hoping 'page.php' or 'index.php' will be close enough, a convention of having themes come with a dedicated template for plugin compatibility would be incredibly helpful. BuddyPress components have a similar convention already, with a plugin.php having only the header, footer, sidebar, and generic action in them.

Further review of this solution reveals a few remaining issues: a) Function `feed_links_extra()` in file `wp-includes/general-template.php` still does not add `` tags for autodiscovery of either custom taxonomy archives or date (year/month/day) archives. You can argue that feeds for date archives might not be particularly useful, but they are generated, so why do we not provide links to them? A helper function does exist to obtain the link for custom taxonomy archive feeds, but there is no corresponding support for date archives. b) The helper functions for obtaining feed links in file `link-template.php` are not particularly easy to use, requiring much examination of the queried object. If a theme or plugin wishes to include explicit hyperlinks to feeds (i.e. `` tags) then it is presently forced to duplicate much of the code from function `feed_links_extra()`. I suggest the bulk of the code from here should be moved into a new function within `link-template.php` where it can be reused to generate either `` or `` tags as needed. c) We seem to have a helper function for feeds containing search results with comments (`get_search_comments_feed_link()` in `wp-includes/link-template.php`). Whilst this feed is generated, it's not clear why ""search"" is treated specially here and why if this was considered useful there are no corresponding feeds for comments on other archives." mdgl 3.5 Enhancements Awaiting Review 23669 Allow front page template to fall back to home template when site displays blog posts index on front page Template normal enhancement new 2013-03-02T21:15:25Z 2013-03-03T06:00:01Z "The `front-page.php` template file is intended to define custom, static front page content. However, this template file takes precedence, regardless of whether `get_option( 'show_on_front' )` is set to `'posts'` or `'page'`. If the user sets the front page to display the blog posts index, this choice is effectively superseded by `front-page.php`, and the blog posts index is not displayed unless the Theme specifically accounts for this setting in the template file, using something like so: {{{ if ( 'posts' == get_option( 'show_on_front' ) ) { get_template_part( 'home' ); } else { // front page markup goes here } }}} But requiring all Themes to include such a conditional in `front-page.php` essentially defeats the purpose of the the `front-page.php` file in the template hierarchy. Instead, WordPress should consider `get_option( 'show_on_front' )`, and should return ''either'' `front-page.php` (for `'page'`) ''or'' `home.php` (for `'posts'`) on the site front page. Attached patch modifies `get_front_page_template()` accordingly. Impact to current Themes is almost certainly minimal to none, for Themes that already properly use `front-page.php` and `home.php`." chipbennett 3.5.1 has-patch Enhancements Awaiting Review 23661 get_theme_root_uri doesn't get correct theme root for themes in folders registered by register_theme_directory Themes normal enhancement new 2013-03-01T22:59:40Z 2013-03-02T04:42:11Z "get_theme_root_uri doesn't get correct theme root for themes in folders registered by register_theme_directory Doing this in wp-config.php: {{{ define('DKO_ABSPATH', __DIR__ .

As discussed in #18119 and committed in [19314], the function should return `0` if the option is set to `0`. However this was reverted in [19654] (see #19538). So I am not sure which is the desired behaviour. The attached patch adds filters for the default value and for the returned value. This is useful for scenarios where you don't want it to fallback to `50` if the option is accidentally set to `0`, and you want to set your own default. I can adjust the patch if the consensus is that an option of `0` should in fact return `0`." jkudish 3.4 has-patch Enhancements Awaiting Review 23537 Require attributes, not classes Template normal feature request reopened 2013-02-19T18:20:03Z 2013-02-28T19:40:43Z "Currently themes[http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review#Template_Tags_and_Hooks must] use [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/language_attributes language_attributes], [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class body_class], [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/post_class post_class] [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_class comment_class]. Rather then requiring direct usage of those, it'd be far more useful to have (and instead require) functions for the entire attributes output, with corresponding filter hooks. The current `_class` functions/hooks would still run, albeit internally via these new functions. This approach is scalable to future attribute needs. {{{ > >
