It could be a complication of using the HyperDB plugin, but it appears that on line 104 of wp-includes/ms-settings.php when the db is down get_blog_details() obviously fails and wp-includes/ms-load.php:ms_not_installed() is called. Unfortunately ms_not_installed() does not redirect to db-error.php, and instead dies, returning
$title = /*WP_I18N_FATAL_ERROR*/'Error establishing database connection'/*/WP_I18N_FATAL_ERROR*/;
Obviously i could hack in a call to wp-includes/functions.php: dead_db() in ms-load.php, but i try to avoid any core hacking to make upgrades easier.
Does anyone have a suggestion for overriding this behavior cleanly? perhaps something in wp-WP_CONTENT_DIR/sunrise.php ?
I suppose if somebody else is interested in the simple fix, here it is. In ""function ms_not_installed"" on line 224 of wp-includes/ms-load.php, insert dead_db();
like this...
{{{
function ms_not_installed() {
dead_db(); //hacked this in so we can get use our custom db-error.php
}}}
The bottom line is that now the visitor will potentially see a more friendly error message when the db or db table is unavailable." tmuka
Awaiting Review 21910 wpmu_create_user() standardization Multisite 3.0 normal minor Awaiting Review enhancement new 2012-09-17T18:03:24Z 2012-09-17T23:36:26Z "There seems to be some inconsistencies between wpmu_create_user(), create_user(), and wp_insert_user(). The former two are wrappers, and do different things but potential to consolidate and clean up some old code.
Per Nacin:
>nacin: wpmu_create_user() should probably just go away.
>nacin: fairly useless function
>nacin: by default, it looks like wp_insert_user() would create a role-less user.
>nacin: as would wp_create_user()
Looking at wp_insert_user() it sets the default role if none is provided, where wpmu_create_user() would actually delete the default roles and caps.
Although, I'm not really sure there's a use case where you'd be using both the wpmu_new_user and user_register hooks simultaneously so possibly depreciate the former in favor of the latter.
One real issue with wpmu_create_user is that it returns false instead of the WP_Error object which is probably not desired since the error could be useful. The false return is used in wpmu_activate_signup() to either set the returned ID or create it's own WP_Error.
Lastly... documentation for create_user says it returns the ID, but it looks like it could potentially also return a WP_Error object. Didn't test, but possible documentation fix there.

I still want the whole of WP to be used by the admins, and the main part of WP to still be used by most user workflows, but I want certain end users to instead be using an alternate controller, instead of /index.php, when they're doing certain things.
This new controller I'll write will use a couple of the core files, but skips most for the goal of increased performance. The proposed core files to re-use are:
* wp-includes/version.php
* wp-includes/load.php
* wp-includes/plugin.php
* wp-includes/wp-db.php
* wp-includes/class-wp-error.php
However, wp-includes/functions.php is a can of worms, that if I included, would require me to include many other files, and it spiders out from there.
What would be better is if the following functions that wp-includes/load.php and wp-includes/plugin.php require be moved into those files from the functions file. Specifically:
* wp_die()
* validate_file()
* stripslashes_deep()
* add_magic_quotes()
* _doing_it_wrong()
* trailingslashit()
If they aren't, I'll have to copy-paste them into my custom controller, maintaining separate versions of them (less than optimal).
Of course, this process still requires me to write my own simpler versions of many more complex functions:
* wp_cache_init()
* wp_cache_close()
* wp_get_active_network_plugins()
* is_blog_installed()
* get_option()
* update_option()
but that's completely acceptable.
Moving those first 6 functions from the functions file to the load and plugin files would not negatively affect core, but would positively affect plugin authors' abilities to write high-performance plugins." scottconnerly

For example, the post type is lost as a local variable and post_status is used for building compiling mysql expressions, but never directly updated.

You'll see that it works perfectly using the theme unit test, except that paginated posts produce URLs like this:
http://example.com/2008/09/layout-test/foo/true/2/
...which doesn't work. The inverse -- http://example.com/2008/09/layout-test/2/foo/true/ -- also doesn't work, and produces a 404 on top of it.
Also, the older posts / newer posts produce this format of link:
http://example.com/page/2/foo/true/
.. .which also doesn't work.
If you change gist_add_endpoint_to_url() to add a querystring param, older posts/newer posts links work fine, but post pagination still breaks:
{{{
function gist_add_endpoint_to_url( $url_base ) {
$endpoint = 'foo';
$url_base = add_query_arg( $endpoint, 'true', $url_base );
return $url_base;
}
}}}
If you don't use a permalink structure at all, it works fine, since the pagination params are passed directly in the URL.
I'm not sure if the fix lies in modifying add_rewrite_endpoint() so that it creates pagination urls in wp_rewrite, or modifying the way _wp_link_page() and get_next_posts_link() work. " mintindeed

Awaiting Review 16883 "Add check for ""Template Version"" on theme activation" Themes 3.1 normal normal Awaiting Review enhancement new dev-feedback 2011-03-18T03:28:36Z 2011-10-19T18:15:47Z "Related: #16395
In addition to adding Template Version to the standard meta information extracted from style.css in `get_theme_data()`, I think that for this information to be useful, a child theme shouldn't be able to be activated unless the template template the child theme uses (parent theme) meets the minimum version requirement identified in ""Template Version"".
A polite and graceful failure, with an error notice, would be preferable :-)
Reason: many times child themes utilize functionality that only exists in the latest version of a parent theme. They're stuck either writing backward compatibility into into their code, or risking whitescreens.
This not only prevents that, but it could be used to gently encourage the user to update the parent theme.
Certainly not a candidate for 3.1.1, but perhaps 3.2?" nathanrice

Ticket #18585 allows to replace this section, but its scope is limited to Twentyeleven and its child themes.
Therefore I propose to introduce generic mechanism, which could be used by theme and plugin autors - e.g. add new `content_navigation_template()` theme tag. By default it should look for `navigation.php` file in theme directory and include it. There should be also a new filter, which could be used by child theme and plugin authors to provide alternate navigation section." sirzooro

I guess many/some users are uncomfortable with storing their FTP password in the database and won't use the ""update tool"" for this reason.

Users can customize the order of the Dashboard and editing meta boxes to better suit their workflow using the drag-and-drop AJAX interface to move the meta boxes into ordered columns and the Screen Options tab to show and hide the boxes. Many plugins add custom meta boxes to the Edit/Add New Post page.
In a multisite installation, with different plugins active on different blogs, users who rearrange an Add New Post page on a blog with a custom meta box and then rearrange it on a different blog without that meta box will lose the position of the custom meta box. Blogs can have different features and workflows implemented, and having per user options for the appearance instead of per user, per blog options limits the ability of a user to customize the interface.

When registration is open, have the option to require manual approval of user accounts before they are granted default role status.
'''Details / Suggested Implementation'''
Create a new user role (""Moderated""?) which for all intents and purposes is the same as ""Subscriber"" (`read` capabilities).
If opted into, user moderation would assign new users this new role. Administrators would be able to see these users listed under the Users list and click an approve link which would change their role to the default user role (as per the General Settings).
This would also make it easier for plugins to implement private blogs while having open user registration.

For example, when you activate the Genesis theme it has three widget areas:
- Header Right
- Primary Sidebar
- Secondary Sidebar
If you install a fresh copy of WP and then activate Genesis, the Header Right widget area is populated with the 6 default widgets ( http://twitpic.com/8618x5 ). It's definitely not ideal for new users unfamiliar with this.
It would be great if there were some way to specify a primary sidebar when registering it, and that's the one the default widgets flow into.

In my humble opinion this is bad UX and the sidebar box should expand automatically when being hovered over with a draggable and it should accept the draggable to it's containing droppable/sortable as well.
The obstacles to overcome:
- Since the draggable in most cases overlaps the sidebar box when dragging over it ( unless you move really quickly ) it's hard to register a 'mouseenter'. This could be solved by setting the 'cursorAt' option for the draggable.
- Opening a sidebar box is trivial but activating the droppable/sortable only seems to kick in when the draggable has been released." ldebrouwer

(line 3422 in WP 3.1):
$linea = strip_tags( $linea, '' ); // 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. Thanks!" majick777

Future Releases 7723 Allow filtering by author on Manage > Posts Administration normal normal Future Release enhancement reopened 2008-09-10T19:59:37Z 2011-12-19T18:04:36Z "In versions of wp before 2.5 you could select an author from a dropdown on MANAGE > POSTS to see only posts owned by that author. This was very useful for quickly sorting posts and is absolutely necessary when you have editor users without the 'edit_users' capability, as unlike admin users (most of us) they don't have access to the 'users' tab and thus have no way to see the manage screen sorted by user. The manage screen sorts by user simply by adding ?&author=$id in the url, but for users without access to the 'users' tab, even author id's are innaccessible.
In the #wordpress-dev irc channel ryan boren expressed that the filter was removed because in some cases there were too many users in the system and the resulting dropdown was slowing down pageload time and ruining user experience. This is a paradox, because the more users your system has the more likely you are to need this filter.
Wordpress needs to support filtering by author somehow if it wants to be a serious multi-user platform. Our editors are pulling out their hair.
My personal opinion is that the dropdown select should be reinstated. Filters should be added to the list such that only users who can post are listed (other users have no use in the Manage > Posts screen), as well as to show only users with at least 1 post. This should avoid slowing down pages for installations where most users are 'subscribers', which would otherwise mean all open-registration blogs would have hugely long lists.
Given those two filters, I think that anyone who still has load-time problems should deal with their problem themselves using a plugin. It should be easy to remove the filter dropdown if you don't want it using a plugin, as well as to further filter the authors shown to reduce their number.
Any installation with that many users deserves the option of deciding if they want the pulldown or not, and I think many would choose to keep it even if there are problems because it is so incredibly useful in filtering through hundreds of users worth of posts.
(Consider: the full categories list is shown, even if there are hundreds, despite the fact that this has the same effect on performance as many authors does).
Also in IRC Matt M proposed that some kind of text box + ajax to predict which author you mean could be used for this purpose. I think that is a great idea but would take a lot more work than what I propose (the work for hte pulldown is already done and the old functions are still there, all that's needed is to add filtering and re-work it into edit.php). It could also be used in the 'Users' context for search though, so it could be worth the effort. " jeremyclarke

John 3:17 or The Golden Middle Ground Between Grace and Sanctification?
There is a couple of things, which make for me sense together
(and I am not sure, of course, whether they will make sense to you
as well), and which I would like to record here.
“For God sent not his
Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world
through him might be saved.” (J. 3:17) In some aspects and for some
people (like me) and in certain moments, this is even more important
than the previous verse, and yet it is quite rarely mentioned in the
Church. Maybe because it so clear, that nobody gets much fame to explain
(and there is not much to explain here?). For all of us, who live with
the idea of God-policeman, following our doings to punish severely any
small misstep, this is the good news.
There is quite certainly something significantly wrong about preaching,
that we always quote only (John 3:16) and
we don’t continue one verse further. As if we are still more interested in what’s
there in gospel for me, and we don’t understand, that we are not the central figures
in whole Bible. Not that there wouldn’t be anything there for us, but … that’s another long
discussion I would like to have with Dave.

OK, so the request of this ticket (and hopefully place of further discsussion if necessary) is to fix this and make considererd and delivered so that wordpress would just accept the nodetree inside of such element as a body of the blogpost without much further changes.

This is apparent after leaving a comment and WordPress attempts to redirect back to your new comment.
At first I was thinking you could tell WordPress that you're filtering to a type and it could compensate when determining the page number, but then I realized perhaps it'd just be better for `wp_list_comments()` to check if there were 0 comments returned for the query and if so, see if there are any of that type of comment available. If so, then we know we're on too high of a page number and can instead display the highest existing page. Then again this introduces SEO issues.

Currently there is only one date field for comments, comment_date_gmt. This is insufficient, because it represents only the creation date, not the approval date.

Steps to Reproduce:[[BR]]
(1) First comment is submitted.[[BR]]
(2) First comment is mistakenly marked as spam by Akismet.[[BR]]
(3) Second comment is submitted and posted.[[BR]]
(4) Check comments feed in RSS reader. Second comment appears in feed, first comment does not.[[BR]]

Future Releases 11319 oEmbed should be integrated into Add ... from URL experiences Editor 2.9 normal normal Future Release enhancement new 2009-12-03T22:55:05Z 2010-10-28T08:50:33Z "oEmbed should be integrated into Add ... from URL experiences
enhancement, ENV: WP 2.9-beta-2 ++ (trunk r12320)
For WP 2.9 we removed oEmbed from the UI, #11288.
The ""Embed"" field did not validate the oEmbed, that is part of the reason I recommended not incorporating UI for WP 2.9 -- I think JS based validation is essential to a good experience.
If you use the ""Insert an image from another web site"", once you input a URL, WordPress should automatically check if it is an oEmbed link and adjust and populate the fields as appropriate.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
If JS is disabled, I see little benefit to including a oEmbed form. The ability just to include oEmbeds on their own line in the content seems like a good balance." lloydbudd

Future Releases 17210 Massive duplication of oEmbed postmeta Viper007Bond Embeds 3.1 normal normal Future Release defect (bug) reopened dev-feedback 2011-04-21T23:38:35Z 2013-02-15T19:56:22Z "Hey guys,
Ever since my blog grew to a considerable size (a few million PVs a month) and started slowing down and exploding my server, I've been looking and implementing various optimizations. During one such passes through the data, I noticed this really weird oEmbed related behavior, which I've been observing for a number of WP version upgrades.
I use [embed] shortcodes a lot, and every new post after a few minutes ends up with a ton of oembed caches that don't belong to it at all - they're all from other posts. Posts that don't even have [embed]s at all still have over 100 oembed entries in wp_postmeta.
Here's an example of just a small subset of data residing in the table:
[[Image(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5230/5641419581_0610c9e267_b.jpg)]]
There are now about 150,000 entries in the wp_postmeta table due to this, half of which are duplicated _oembed entries, which I think has heavy impact on server load. Not only that but I'm sure WP is filling the table up with values by redoing oEmbed queries, which may explain that load shoots up very high at times when publishing.
{{{
mysql> select count(*) from wp_postmeta where meta_key like '_oembed%';
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 81499 |
+----------+
1 row in set
mysql> select count(*) from wp_postmeta;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 148451 |
+----------+
1 row in set
}}}
Just look at how many times this random video embed value shows up in the table. I'm sure it was used in only one actual post:
{{{
mysql> select count(*) from wp_postmeta where meta_value like '%p2oWELcd-lI%';
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 815 |
+----------+
1 row in set
}}}
Just to clarify - I don't have 815 updates to a single post that may have explained this - these are completely unrelated, separate, published posts.
To put things in perspective, here are the top 20 offenders:

The problem, in short: WordPress inserted a number of unclosed `

In detail: I had HTML code very similar to this:
- text
- subtext
more text
This was automatically converted to:
- text
- subtext
more text
Note the extra `` tag in the above, which is unclosed (making the W3C validator choke on my website).
Also note, I was not using the WYSIWYG editor (turning it off was the first thing I did), so it's unlikely to be due to that.
As a workaround, manually inserting properly closed `

- text
- subtext

I'm fully supportive of this feature — I think it's important to ensure the HTML that is output to browsers is valid. There have been a few situations where users needed to turn this off, e.g. bugs in the function, or a plugin misbehaves with it on (if I remember correctly, runPHP).
However, this is a KDE-style option where it is put there for a niche case. In 99% of cases, you will want it on.
A few people on the mailing lists have stated a number of times that we should take a GNOME-like approach to these sort of features, and let them be controlled only by plugins. This option is left over from the dark ages of !WordPress, and I don't think the cases for turning it off are big enough to warrant its inclusion in the user interface.
If a plugin has a problem with balancing tags (e.g. runPHP), the offending plugin can simply remove the filter.
{{{
remove_filter('content_save_pre', 'balance_tags);

(...or whatever the code would be.)
The new canonical redirect feature has far more many problems, and far more justification for it to be turned off, yet I don't see a checkbox ""Redirect links to their canonical URL"" anywhere in the user interface. If anything should have a checkbox, it's the canonical redirect feature — but, it doesn't have any such thing. So, we should remove this checkbox as well." JeremyVisser

Wordpress core (and many plugins) use class_exists().
http://php.net/manual/en/function.class-exists.php
When Wordpress is integrated with custom/third party applications that use php_auto_prepend and autoload() to include/require files based on the $class_name parameter this generates errors as class_exists() triggers the autoload() and the files cannot be found.
== To reproduce ==
Using php_auto_prepend specify a file to include before every page request that contains the following PHP code:
{{{
}}}
Visit any front-end or back-end Wordpress page.
== Solution ==
As there is no autoload() function defined in Wordpress core the class_exists() should implement the second class_exists() parameter:

This stops calls to __autoload() and would fix the errors seen when integrating Wordpress with apps that implement this.

So at registration, log the IP in usermeta. Done, easy. List it on the user page.
At comments, obviously, it's already logged, so nothing needs be done there. Also, since you can already click on an IP and list all comments made from that address, there wouldn't be much else that needs to be done." Ipstenu

Future Releases 15677 It is not possible to install multiple variants of the same language I18N 3.1 normal normal Future Release defect (bug) new 2010-12-04T15:07:28Z 2011-06-04T10:21:10Z "Because of the way {{{mu_dropdown_languages()}}} and {{{format_code_lang()}}} work, it is impossible to have multiple variants of the same language installed. The list of languages returned by {{{mu_dropdown_languages()}}} only includes one variant of each language (the one with the country code which comes last when sorted alphabetically).
For example, if .mo files for es_ES and es_PE are both installed, then only es_PE will be shown.
Furthermore, whatever variant of the language is installed, the name will be the same, not indicating the correct language variant. In the example above, the language name will be ""Spanish; Castillian"", even for the es_PE localisation. This is highly misleading.
A final problem is that the langauge names are not localised themselves, with the exception of ""English"".
The cause of these problems is the fact that {{{format_code_lang()}}} ignores the country code and only considers the language code when choosing the name to return. Furthermore, it returns hardcoded language names rather than translated names.
Since {{{mu_dropdown_languages()}}} uses the return value of {{{format_code_lang()}}} as the key for its internal {{{$output}}} array, this means that later language variants overwrite earlier ones." caesarsgrunt

Since adding comment meta, we load the comment meta on-the-fly since nothing really currently uses it in core.

The problem arises when multiple comments are displayed on a page, The metadata for every comment is loaded individually:

It isn't ideal that every comment causes an extra query, instead, we should bulk load comment meta for the comments being displayed.
However, Since comment meta is not always used, in order to keep the load down, I'd suggest that we only bulk load the comment meta '''on the first request for comment meta''', this should allow current users to have no detrimental affect on query count/performance, whilst allowing those who use comment meta to manage each comment better performance." dd32

The update should not work, because they are the same. However, the meta cache will have ""1"" as a string, and then it will strict compare it to 1 as an integer. Thus, an unnecessary update will run.
Best I can tell, this could also affect update_option().
It is quite common to use integers and booleans directly into these functions. They should be smart enough to recognize that ""1"" == 1 == true and ""0"" == 0 == false, and that any numeric string is also equal to a properly cast integer.

Future Releases 16343 API for WP_Scripts: allow async loading, version checks Performance normal minor Future Release enhancement assigned 2011-01-22T18:07:39Z 2011-01-25T15:48:01Z "When developping a theme lately, I have found myself in the need of directly accesing the internals of the WP_Scripts class. I feel the funcionality I need might well help other developers.
Use cases:
1.- Asynchronously load a (JS) script loaded by a/another plugin
When loading a certain page, we needed to asynchronously load some (relatively heavy) scripts which are only seldom used. In order to keep page rendering fast, we only load them on demand, after the page frame has been rendered.
In order to avoid having to bundle (potentially conflicting versions) scripts in every plugin and prevent duplicate loading, I suggest adding an API which would enable querying the source (as used by 'scripts-loader')
2.- Version checks for loaded scripts
For high-performance sites, it might be useful to load a Google (or some other CDN) -provided jQuery et al ---which the user might already have cached--- instead of the bundled one, as long as it is the same version.
Code example:
$ver = $wp_scripts->version('jquery');
wp_unregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script('jquery',""http://ajax.googleapis.com/jquery/$ver/jquery.min.js"",false,$ver);
(needs discussion)
I can provide the code (or the patch against Core) when the solution is decided (or soonish, if a proof-of-concept is needed)
If WP 3.2 is going to finally be PHP 5.2+, I'd rather basically rewrite WP_Scripts (and/or WP_Dependencies).

If the missing file is an image that has been reused 10 times (perhaps a CSS background or sprite) we will run ten extra times on every page load.

When SimplePie fails to fetch or parse a feed, it should not hammer whichever server the feed came from on every page load. This is bad for two reasons: it disturbs the originating server, and it tremendously slows down page loads when the feed is in an RSS widget on the front end.
Instead, we should cache the error for a reasonably long amount of time (15 minutes? An hour? More?) and bypass SimplePie until that duration expires." Denis-de-Bernardy

But if I use get_pages like this:

it returns no pages at all (hierarchical=0 has no effect). It seems that's because ''child_of'' triggers a call of ''get_page_children'' which only returns uninterrupted hierarchies. Since the query returns only some grandchildren and no direct descendants, the function fails. IMHO, that's a bug.

After studying the issue, I have come to the conclusion that the underlying issue is that a shortcode can result in a block-level HTML element or an inline snippet of HTML. Neither wpautop nor shortcode_unautop have the information necessary to know what the intended to be block-level or text-level, which results in
tags to appear in places where they were not intended and causes invalid markup when paragraphs are not closed properly.
1) shorcodes when registered need to state the display type of the html that they return (inline or block). In addition, the javascript version of filters need to be provided with the same data.
2) An alternate mechanism for handling shortcodes prior to wpautop needs to be implemented. To maintain a separation between wpautop and shortcodes, temporarily replacing block-level shortcodes with unique tokens, running wpautop, running wpautop on the content of the shortcode (since this is a separate filter, plugins can disable it on a per shortcode basis), and then replacing the token with shortcodes post-wpautop.
As WP and plugin authors use shortcodes more and more, I think this is an issue that should not be left to the wayside. Shortcodes especially tied to tinymce buttons make working with WordPress easier for the average content producer.

'''Proposed fixes:'''
If you are feeling lazy: Convert `[.*]` to `<$1>` and since balanceTags handles XML it should work, afterwards convert appropriate `<>` back to `[]`. Though this does not give a shortcode creator chance to disallow balancing tags inside it's content which is bad.
Better fix is to allow shortcode creators to decide wether their contents should be balanced:
1. `balanceTags()` should ignore all shortcodes and their contents.
2. Parse all shortcodes in content and on each shortcode call apply filter on so that shortcode creator can hook (if sees it appropriate) on to that. Shortcode creator then can call `balanceTags()` in his filter of that shortcode in order to run `balanceTags()` ''contents of shortcode'' separately if wanted." ciantic

Future Releases 13949 Add a sprintf style argument to wp_list_categories() for title tag. Taxonomy normal normal Future Release enhancement new 2010-06-17T18:01:20Z 2010-10-28T02:10:59Z "By default, wp_list_categories() will use the value of $term->description for the title tag of every link that it generates. If the argument ""use_desc_for_title"" is set to false, it will produce a string like: ""View all posts filed under $term->name"". With the inclusion of custom post_types into core, it would be wonderful to have more control over this title. The best solution that I can think of is to add a sprintf style argument which will allow themes and plugins to provide a custom format. Something like:
'title_format' => 'View all tacos posted under %s.'

To clean up tagging the ability to merge tags would be a life saver.
The functionality I had in mind was being able to select two or more tags in edit-tags.php and select 'Merge' from the 'Actions' dropdown. When you click 'Apply' a lightbox would open with the following:
'''What should become the primary tag?'''[[BR]]
[Textfield][[BR]]
''The name is how the tag appears on your site.''
'''What should become the primary tag slug?'''[[BR]]
[Textfield][[BR]]
''The “slug” is the URL-friendly version of the name. It is usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens.''
'''Which slugs should continue to point to the new primary tag?'''[[BR]]
[Textarea automatically filled with the old slugs][[BR]]
''One slug per line.''
'''Save''' | '''Cancel'''
The last textarea allows old slugs to still point to the new primary tag - meaning any old URL's will still work.
=== -~- Example -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ===
I've got the following tags which all mean the same thing:
TV, the box, telly
I select them all in edit-tags.php, select 'Merge' and 'Apply'. In the popup box I choose 'television' as the primary tag, 'television' as the slug, and list the old tags in the textarea.
I now have a tag called 'television' which has ""television, TV, the box, telly"" all pointing to it, so my old URL's still work. All of my posts which use the old tags have now magically swapped to using 'television'." hempsworth

Both were requests to pass either of $post or $post->ID as an argument to the_title (both have patches for that).
The same idea could be applied to multitudes of other formatting hooks. They're not always called in the loop, so determining the ID of the object (post, link, category, tag, etc.) isn't always easy in the event that it is useful.
Suggested enhancement:
each filter such as the_title, the_content, etc., but also the_permalink, the_category_link, etc., possibly also the_category, etc., as well... basically any hook that is formatting related and that affects an individual object rather than a collection, should have the object's ID as an argument for easy reference."

Future Releases 16268 Requirement for has_header_image() function? Template normal normal Future Release enhancement new 2011-01-17T12:05:24Z 2011-01-18T11:10:19Z "I know is pretty easy to do, but would it be a good idea to provide a has_header_image() function for use in themes? Something along the lines of:
{{{
function has_header_image() {
$header_image = get_header_image();
return !empty( $header_image );
}
}}}
As the header_image() function just outputs the URL it would be handy to have a conditional function you could use to check when there was a header image to output.
I'm currently working on a plugin that gives you more granular control over using different header images on different pages using the 'theme_mod_header_image' filter. There may be instances when you do not want to show a header at all on some pages. In the current TwentyTen theme for example, no checking is done before the header_image() function is called so in this scenario the header image just appears as a broken image - ideally it should not output the image at all.
Either that or should there be a function which outputs the whole image tag so that if the header_image() function returns false/empty it does not output the tag at all?
What are people's thoughts on this?" husobj

As in classes.php (line 1328), I suggest this modif with a filter named post_list_cats for the start of two loops present in get_the_category_list() (line 187 et 209)
{{{
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
$cat_name = attr( $category->name);

and inside the two loops, $category->cat_name replaced by $cat_name
with this filter it will be more coherent to treate cat list in one post or in sidebar for all posts

It would be nice if a standard hook existed for this.
It could go something like this:
add_filter(wp_notification, foobar)
foobar() appends to an array of notification messages that get displayed to the user on the front end.
then, on page load:
- in wp_head if notifications is not empty, we add a style, wp_notification, that makes elements of this class invisible, and we load jQuery
- if do_action(wp_notification) is explicitly called on the page, we display the messages in there, without the class, and disable the notification on the wp_footer hook
- an action gets fired on wp_footer if do_action(wp_notification) is not called, and we use ajax to place the needed messages in a absolutely positioned div element, with a close button.
we could also add some kind of do_action(wp_commentform_notification), nearby the comments form, to output comment-related errors in their ""correct"" location as well." Denis-de-Bernardy

Example: Uploading a JPEG image with a width of 625 pixels and height of 938 pixels. This physical size is greater than the maximum size allowed by the default WordPress configuration.
When uploading such an image using the ""Add an Image"" panel the the Flash uploader will stop with the upload progress bar at 100% and displaying ""Crunching…"". The Browser uploader will return a blank ""Add an Image"" panel display.
In both cases the images are uploaded to the appropriate directory on the server and appear when the post's media gallery is refreshed. Thumbnail images are not generated for these uploads. It appears the failure is before or during thumbnail generation.
Note: The maximum image dimension allowed for upload is not the same as the Administration > Setting > Media > Large Size: Max Width and Max Height settings. In my case these settings are both set at 1024 pixels (above the size of the image I am working with). It appears this control panel setting only impacts the HTML image tag attributes for posts, so as not to break the visual design with images that are wider than a layout allows.
Now you may ask what is the default maximum dimension for uploaded images. Unfortunately I cannot find my notes on where exactly the setting is in the WordPress code (it has no Web GUI access that I am aware of). I had changed this setting once to work around this problem and hoped 2.7 would have fixed the issue. It is a pain to track down as the location of this setting has changed over time as it moved to different files and functions with each new version of WordPress.
My understanding is that this maximum image dimension setting was set to prevent images over 3 megapixels from being uploaded since those are really big and readers shouldn't have to deal with such images. This is old thinking from before broadband and photo blogs took off.
See: http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/03/28/wordpress-thumbnail-size-limit-hack/
I think the default limit should be raised, but that would be a feature request. This ticket is to have error messages displayed.

Since most mobile users are on the go with no access to the wp-admin area to rotate the images themselves, it would work best if the image was rotated for them automatically.

The hook ''delete_user'' is called when deleting users it should be the same in MultiSite when deleting from Super Admin->Users.
Or add new hooks and deprecate previous.
''delete_user_from_network'' for when deleting a user totally.
''delete_user_from_site'' for when deleting a user from a specific site. This is hook also then fires in non-MultiSite mode since that then corresponds to one site." andreasnrb
Future Releases 13569 Odd edge case with shared user tables and custom admin username during install Users lowest trivial Future Release defect (bug) new 2010-05-27T06:06:43Z 2010-11-13T08:04:31Z "1. In install 1, run install.php and use a custom username (NOT called 'admin') and set the e-mail to email@example.com.
2. In install 2, before installing, set up shared user tables with install 1. Then run the installer. You won't have the ability to choose usernames (that's expected). Use the *same* email.
3. Click ""Install."" You'll get hit with a WP_Error object.
What's happening? The logic in wp_install() is to do a username_exists() against the username passed to it. If the user exists, it assumes that you're using shared user tables. Problem is, wp_install() is passed 'admin' from install.php (as that's the default, and you don't see the fields when custom user tables are setup), while your user is not called 'admin'. The e-mail address is already being used for another user however, so it is creating 'admin' and is failing on the duplicate e-mail address.
If the email address doesn't match any user, I imagine you'd instead get an 'admin' user in your second install, which you could promptly delete. I see no problem with that, as the alternatives are to pick which user should become an admin.
So, the fix would be to change username_exists() and the logic that follows, and instead match the e-mail address with an existing user, and make that user the new administrator. If no user with that email exists, we create an admin user and they can tough it out.
I do not feel this is a blocker at all. The symptoms I am seeing should be the same in 2.9.2 if you removed the admin user in install 1, then proceeded to share user tables with install 2 before installing.
It'd be nice to at least prevent the fatal error and allow the install to finish, however. I do want to get to it in 3.0 if I can, since we now are allowing custom admin names. That said, setting to 3.1." nacin

There is a couple of things, which make for me sense together (and I am not sure, of course, whether they will make sense to you as well), and which I would like to record here.
“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” (J. 3:17) In some aspects and for some people (like me) and in certain moments, this is even more important than the previous verse, and yet it is quite rarely mentioned in the Church. Maybe because it so clear, that nobody gets much fame to explain (and there is not much to explain here?). For all of us, who live with the idea of God-policeman, following our doings to punish severely any small misstep, this is the good news.
There is quite certainly something significantly wrong about preaching, that we always quote only (John 3:16) and we don’t continue one verse further. As if we are still more interested in what’s there in gospel for me, and we don’t understand, that we are not the central figures in whole Bible. Not that there wouldn’t be anything there for us, but … that’s another long discussion I would like to have with Dave.

There have been a few situations where users needed to turn this off, e.g. bugs in the function, or a plugin misbehaves with it on (if I remember correctly, runPHP). However, this is a KDE-style option where it is put there for a niche case. In 99% of cases, you will want it on. A few people on the mailing lists have stated a number of times that we should take a GNOME-like approach to these sort of features, and let them be controlled only by plugins. This option is left over from the dark ages of !WordPress, and I don't think the cases for turning it off are big enough to warrant its inclusion in the user interface. If a plugin has a problem with balancing tags (e.g. runPHP), the offending plugin can simply remove the filter. {{{ remove_filter('content_save_pre', 'balance_tags); }}} (...or whatever the code would be.)

I feel the funcionality I need might well help other developers. Use cases: 1.- Asynchronously load a (JS) script loaded by a/another plugin When loading a certain page, we needed to asynchronously load some (relatively heavy) scripts which are only seldom used. In order to keep page rendering fast, we only load them on demand, after the page frame has been rendered. In order to avoid having to bundle (potentially conflicting versions) scripts in every plugin and prevent duplicate loading, I suggest adding an API which would enable querying the source (as used by 'scripts-loader') 2.- Version checks for loaded scripts For high-performance sites, it might be useful to load a Google (or some other CDN) -provided jQuery et al ---which the user might already have cached--- instead of the bundled one, as long as it is the same version. Code example: $ver = $wp_scripts->version('jquery'); wp_unregister_script('jquery'); wp_register_script('jquery',""http://ajax.googleapis.com/jquery/$ver/jquery.min.js"",false,$ver); (needs discussion) I can provide the code (or the patch against Core) when the solution is decided (or soonish, if a proof-of-concept is needed) If WP 3.2 is going to finally be PHP 5.2+, I'd rather basically rewrite WP_Scripts (and/or WP_Dependencies).

After studying the issue, I have come to the conclusion that the underlying issue is that a shortcode can result in a block-level HTML element or an inline snippet of HTML. Neither wpautop nor shortcode_unautop have the information necessary to know what the intended to be block-level or text-level, which results in
tags to appear in places where they were not intended and causes invalid markup when paragraphs are not closed properly. 1) shorcodes when registered need to state the display type of the html that they return (inline or block). In addition, the javascript version of filters need to be provided with the same data. 2) An alternate mechanism for handling shortcodes prior to wpautop needs to be implemented. To maintain a separation between wpautop and shortcodes, temporarily replacing block-level shortcodes with unique tokens, running wpautop, running wpautop on the content of the shortcode (since this is a separate filter, plugins can disable it on a per shortcode basis), and then replacing the token with shortcodes post-wpautop. As WP and plugin authors use shortcodes more and more, I think this is an issue that should not be left to the wayside.

Better fix is to allow shortcode creators to decide wether their contents should be balanced: 1. `balanceTags()` should ignore all shortcodes and their contents. 2. Parse all shortcodes in content and on each shortcode call apply filter on so that shortcode creator can hook (if sees it appropriate) on to that.

They're not always called in the loop, so determining the ID of the object (post, link, category, tag, etc.) isn't always easy in the event that it is useful. Suggested enhancement: each filter such as the_title, the_content, etc., but also the_permalink, the_category_link, etc., possibly also the_category, etc., as well... basically any hook that is formatting related and that affects an individual object rather than a collection, should have the object's ID as an argument for easy reference."

Something along the lines of: {{{ function has_header_image() { $header_image = get_header_image(); return !empty( $header_image ); } }}} As the header_image() function just outputs the URL it would be handy to have a conditional function you could use to check when there was a header image to output. I'm currently working on a plugin that gives you more granular control over using different header images on different pages using the 'theme_mod_header_image' filter. There may be instances when you do not want to show a header at all on some pages. In the current TwentyTen theme for example, no checking is done before the header_image() function is called so in this scenario the header image just appears as a broken image - ideally it should not output the image at all. Either that or should there be a function which outputs the whole image tag so that if the header_image() function returns false/empty it does not output the tag at all?

Example: Uploading a JPEG image with a width of 625 pixels and height of 938 pixels. This physical size is greater than the maximum size allowed by the default WordPress configuration. When uploading such an image using the ""Add an Image"" panel the the Flash uploader will stop with the upload progress bar at 100% and displaying ""Crunching…"". The Browser uploader will return a blank ""Add an Image"" panel display. In both cases the images are uploaded to the appropriate directory on the server and appear when the post's media gallery is refreshed. Thumbnail images are not generated for these uploads. It appears the failure is before or during thumbnail generation. Note: The maximum image dimension allowed for upload is not the same as the Administration > Setting > Media > Large Size: Max Width and Max Height settings. In my case these settings are both set at 1024 pixels (above the size of the image I am working with). It appears this control panel setting only impacts the HTML image tag attributes for posts, so as not to break the visual design with images that are wider than a layout allows. Now you may ask what is the default maximum dimension for uploaded images. Unfortunately I cannot find my notes on where exactly the setting is in the WordPress code (it has no Web GUI access that I am aware of). I had changed this setting once to work around this problem and hoped 2.7 would have fixed the issue. It is a pain to track down as the location of this setting has changed over time as it moved to different files and functions with each new version of WordPress. My understanding is that this maximum image dimension setting was set to prevent images over 3 megapixels from being uploaded since those are really big and readers shouldn't have to deal with such images. This is old thinking from before broadband and photo blogs took off. See: http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/03/28/wordpress-thumbnail-size-limit-hack/ I think the default limit should be raised, but that would be a feature request.

In install 1, run install.php and use a custom username (NOT called 'admin') and set the e-mail to email@example.com. 2. In install 2, before installing, set up shared user tables with install 1. Then run the installer. You won't have the ability to choose usernames (that's expected). Use the *same* email. 3. Click ""Install."" You'll get hit with a WP_Error object. What's happening? The logic in wp_install() is to do a username_exists() against the username passed to it. If the user exists, it assumes that you're using shared user tables. Problem is, wp_install() is passed 'admin' from install.php (as that's the default, and you don't see the fields when custom user tables are setup), while your user is not called 'admin'. The e-mail address is already being used for another user however, so it is creating 'admin' and is failing on the duplicate e-mail address. If the email address doesn't match any user, I imagine you'd instead get an 'admin' user in your second install, which you could promptly delete. I see no problem with that, as the alternatives are to pick which user should become an admin. So, the fix would be to change username_exists() and the logic that follows, and instead match the e-mail address with an existing user, and make that user the new administrator. If no user with that email exists, we create an admin user and they can tough it out. I do not feel this is a blocker at all. The symptoms I am seeing should be the same in 2.9.2 if you removed the admin user in install 1, then proceeded to share user tables with install 2 before installing.
