To define the thumbnail image dimensions for your Wordpress child theme add this function to your child theme's functions.php file if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {     add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );     set_post_thumbnail_size( 150, 150, true ); // default Featured Image dimensions (cropped)     // additional image sizes     // delete the next line if you do not need additional image sizes     add_image_size( 'themeName-medium', 400, 220 ); // 400 pixels wide 220 pixels high  }

So recently I needed to write a Wordpress Shortcode in my Child Theme's functions.php file which allows me to specify certain parameters or variables for a Gallery. If the post did not have any photos for a gallery section it would show a standard set of photos I saved on the server. If the post did have photos for the Gallery I would declare the shortcode with two additional parameters , one for total number of photos (because this runs in a PHP While Loop) and the other for the directory name where the photos are saved. In your functions.php file in your Wordpress Child Theme add this Function (change the names to your preference) function ListingGallery($atts) {   $atts = shortcode_atts( array(         'totalpics' => '10', 'imgdir' => 'general',   ), $atts );      ob_start();      $output_string = ' <h1 class="entry-title">Gallery</h1> <div align="center"...

It's recommended to disable the File Editor option under Appearances in your Wordpress Admin area by adding these lines to your wp-config.php file /** Disable File Editting within Wordpress */ define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true);

1. Create your .htpasswd file by running the following command: htpasswd -c /home/brendan/public_html/.htpasswd your_desired_username (where you should change "your_desired_username" with the actual username that you want to use) 2. With the .htpasswd file now created under your /home/brendan/public_html/ directory, you can go ahead and add the password protection to your wp-login.php file. You can do this by adding the following rules to the .htaccess file in /home/brendan/public_html/: <Files wp-login.php> AuthUserFile /home/brendan/public_html/.htpasswd AuthName "Private access" AuthType Basic require valid-user </Files> 3. Then create a new .htaccess file in your /home/brendan/public_html/wp-admin/ directory and put the following lines in it: AuthUserFile /home/brendan/public_html/.htpasswd AuthName "Private access" AuthType Basic require valid-user <Files admin-ajax.php>   Order allow,deny   Allow from all  ...

Took some to figure this out. In your "functions.php" file in your child theme directory add this code function wpb_adding_scripts() { if (!is_admin()) { wp_register_script('my_amazing_script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/scroller.js', array('jquery'),'1.1', true); wp_enqueue_script('my_amazing_script'); } } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpb_adding_scripts' ); This function checks that you are not logged in as an administrator. my_amazing_script can be named anything you like get_stylesheet_directory_uri() is important if you're doing this in your child theme functions.php file 1.1 is your version number and can be anything true is to load the JS file at the bottom of the page, false is to load the JS file at the top of the page

I had to create a custom form recently for my website in Wordpress and had to ensure I cleaned up the input to prevent SQL injection and SPAM.  I could use the Contact Form 7 plugin but I had to format the input before sending via email. I used the strip_tags() and trim() PHP functions to sanitize the input $name = strip_tags(trim($name)); So if the input in the form field for name was:  <a href="www.scam.com" target="_blank">    WIN</a> The output after using these two functions would just be WIN The trim() function cleared the whitespace before the word "win" and the HTML or PHP tags were removed completely
