Code Snippets sharing

Next, I will share a few code snippets that I often use. If necessary, you can directly copy and add the following code to the Code Snippets plugin.

Code 1: wordpress switches back to classic widgets

This code turns your wordpress block widget into a classic widget.

// This code turns your wordpress block widget into a classic widget.
add_filter( 'gutenberg_use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'use_widgets_block_editor', '__return_false' );

Code 2: Redirect author link

This code can redirect the author’s link, and the link can be modified arbitrarily.

//This code can redirect the author's link, and the link can be modified arbitrarily.
add_filter( 'author_link', 'fanly_author_link' );
function fanly_author_link() {
  return home_url( '/' );//This means redirect to the home page, you can also fill other pages
}

Code 3: Automatically add alt and title attributes to the article image

This code can automatically add ALT and TITLE attributes to the picture of the article, which can help you do a good job in picture SEO, and is good for the SEO optimization of the whole site.

//Automatically add alt and title attributes to the article image
function image_alt_tag($content){
global $post;preg_match_all('/<img (.*?)\/>/', $content, $images);
if(!is_null($images)) {foreach($images[1] as $index => $value)
{$new_img = str_replace('<img', '<img alt="'.get_the_title().'-'.get_bloginfo('name').'" title="'.get_the_title().'-'.get_bloginfo('name').'"', $images[0][$index]);
$content = str_replace($images[0][$index], $new_img, $content);}}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'image_alt_tag', 99999);

Code 4: Admin quick switch

After this code is added, you can quickly switch between multiple administrators, without logging out and logging in again, and without re-entering the password.

//Admin quick switch
add_filter('user_row_actions', function($actions, $user){
    $capability = (is_multisite())?'manage_site':'manage_options';
    if(current_user_can($capability)){
        $actions['login_as']    = '<a title="log in as" href="'.wp_nonce_url("users.php?action=login_as&users=$user->ID", 'bulk-users').'">log in as</a>';
    }
    return $actions;
}, 10, 2);

add_filter('handle_bulk_actions-users', function($sendback, $action, $user_ids){
    if($action == 'login_as'){
        wp_set_auth_cookie($user_ids, true);
        wp_set_current_user($user_ids);
    }
    return admin_url();
},10,3);

Code 5: Add article copying function

This code can add a quick copy function to the article, and the same article can be published, and then you only need to modify it on this basis.

//Function creates post duplicate as a draft and redirects then to the edit post screen
function rd_duplicate_post_as_draft(){
    global $wpdb;
    if (! ( isset( $_GET['post']) || isset( $_POST['post'])  || ( isset($_REQUEST['action']) && 'rd_duplicate_post_as_draft' == $_REQUEST['action'] ) ) ) {
        wp_die('No post to duplicate has been supplied!');
    }
    /*
     * Nonce verification
     */
    if ( !isset( $_GET['duplicate_nonce'] ) || !wp_verify_nonce( $_GET['duplicate_nonce'], basename( __FILE__ ) ) )
        return;
    /*
     * get the original post id
     */
    $post_id = (isset($_GET['post']) ? absint( $_GET['post'] ) : absint( $_POST['post'] ) );
    /*
     * and all the original post data then
     */
    $post = get_post( $post_id );
    /*
     * if you don't want current user to be the new post author,
     * then change next couple of lines to this: $new_post_author = $post->post_author;
     */
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $new_post_author = $current_user->ID;
    /*
     * if post data exists, create the post duplicate
     */
    if (isset( $post ) && $post != null) {
        /*
         * new post data array
         */
        $args = array(
            'comment_status' => $post->comment_status,
            'ping_status'    => $post->ping_status,
            'post_author'    => $new_post_author,
            'post_content'   => $post->post_content,
            'post_excerpt'   => $post->post_excerpt,
            'post_name'      => $post->post_name,
            'post_parent'    => $post->post_parent,
            'post_password'  => $post->post_password,
            'post_status'    => 'draft',
            'post_title'     => $post->post_title,
            'post_type'      => $post->post_type,
            'to_ping'        => $post->to_ping,
            'menu_order'     => $post->menu_order
        );
        /*
         * insert the post by wp_insert_post() function
         */
        $new_post_id = wp_insert_post( $args );
        /*
         * get all current post terms ad set them to the new post draft
         */
        $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies($post->post_type); // returns array of taxonomy names for post type, ex array("category", "post_tag");
        foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy) {
            $post_terms = wp_get_object_terms($post_id, $taxonomy, array('fields' => 'slugs'));
            wp_set_object_terms($new_post_id, $post_terms, $taxonomy, false);
        }
        /*
         * duplicate all post meta just in two SQL queries
         */
        $post_meta_infos = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE post_id=$post_id");
        if (count($post_meta_infos)!=0) {
            $sql_query = "INSERT INTO $wpdb->postmeta (post_id, meta_key, meta_value) ";
            foreach ($post_meta_infos as $meta_info) {
                $meta_key = $meta_info->meta_key;
                if( $meta_key == '_wp_old_slug' ) continue;
                $meta_value = addslashes($meta_info->meta_value);
                $sql_query_sel[]= "SELECT $new_post_id, '$meta_key', '$meta_value'";
            }
            $sql_query.= implode(" UNION ALL ", $sql_query_sel);
            $wpdb->query($sql_query);
        }
        /*
         * finally, redirect to the edit post screen for the new draft
         */
        wp_redirect( admin_url( 'post.php?action=edit&post=' . $new_post_id ) );
        exit;
    } else {
        wp_die('Post creation failed, could not find original post: ' . $post_id);
    }
}
add_action( 'admin_action_rd_duplicate_post_as_draft', 'rd_duplicate_post_as_draft' ); 
/*
 * Add the duplicate link to action list for post_row_actions
 */
function rd_duplicate_post_link( $actions, $post ) {
    if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
        $actions['duplicate'] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url('admin.php?action=rd_duplicate_post_as_draft&post=' . $post->ID, basename(__FILE__), 'duplicate_nonce' ) . '" title="Duplicate this item" rel="permalink">Duplicate</a>';
    }
    return $actions;
}
add_filter( 'post_row_actions', 'rd_duplicate_post_link', 10, 2 );

Code 6: Hide the category classification mark

The use of this code is to hide the category mark in the URL, which can shorten the link, which is a little bit good for SEO.

//Hide the category classification mark
add_action( 'load-themes.php',  'no_category_base_refresh_rules');
add_action('created_category', 'no_category_base_refresh_rules');
add_action('edited_category', 'no_category_base_refresh_rules');
add_action('delete_category', 'no_category_base_refresh_rules');
function no_category_base_refresh_rules() {
    global $wp_rewrite;

}
// register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'no_category_base_deactivate');
// function no_category_base_deactivate() {
//  remove_filter('category_rewrite_rules', 'no_category_base_rewrite_rules');
//  // We don't want to insert our custom rules again
//  no_category_base_refresh_rules();
// }
// Remove category base
add_action('init', 'no_category_base_permastruct');
function no_category_base_permastruct() {
    global $wp_rewrite, $wp_version;
    if (version_compare($wp_version, '3.4', '<')) {
        // For pre-3.4 support
        $wp_rewrite -> extra_permastructs['category'][0] = '%category%';
    } else {
        $wp_rewrite -> extra_permastructs['category']['struct'] = '%category%';
    }
}
// Add our custom category rewrite rules
add_filter('category_rewrite_rules', 'no_category_base_rewrite_rules');
function no_category_base_rewrite_rules($category_rewrite) {
    //var_dump($category_rewrite); // For Debugging
    $category_rewrite = array();
    $categories = get_categories(array('hide_empty' => false));
    foreach ($categories as $category) {
        $category_nicename = $category -> slug;
        if ($category -> parent == $category -> cat_ID)// recursive recursion
            $category -> parent = 0;
        elseif ($category -> parent != 0)
            $category_nicename = get_category_parents($category -> parent, false, '/', true) . $category_nicename;
        $category_rewrite['(' . $category_nicename . ')/(?:feed/)?(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$'] = 'index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&feed=$matches[2]';
        $category_rewrite['(' . $category_nicename . ')/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$'] = 'index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]';
        $category_rewrite['(' . $category_nicename . ')/?$'] = 'index.php?category_name=$matches[1]';
    }
    // Redirect support from Old Category Base
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $old_category_base = get_option('category_base') ? get_option('category_base') : 'category';
    $old_category_base = trim($old_category_base, '/');
    $category_rewrite[$old_category_base . '/(.*)$'] = 'index.php?category_redirect=$matches[1]';
    //var_dump($category_rewrite); // For Debugging
    return $category_rewrite;
}
// Add 'category_redirect' query variable
add_filter('query_vars', 'no_category_base_query_vars');
function no_category_base_query_vars($public_query_vars) {
    $public_query_vars[] = 'category_redirect';
    return $public_query_vars;
}
// Redirect if 'category_redirect' is set
add_filter('request', 'no_category_base_request');
function no_category_base_request($query_vars) {
    //print_r($query_vars); // For Debugging
    if (isset($query_vars['category_redirect'])) {
        $catlink = trailingslashit(get_option('home')) . user_trailingslashit($query_vars['category_redirect'], 'category');
        status_header(301);
        header("Location: $catlink");
        exit();
    }
    return $query_vars;
}
