Custom Paging in WordPress

It is sometimes required in WordPress that you need to include your own paging.This is how i have done it.

$rss = fetch_feed($feed_url);
if (!is_wp_error( $rss ) ) {
$limit = 15;

$page = $_GET['page'];
if ((!$page) || (is_numeric($page) == false) || ($page < 0)) {

$page = 1; //default

}

$set_limit = $page * $limit - ($limit);

$prev_page = $page-1;

$next_page = $page+1;

$total_item=$rss->get_item_quantity(); //PUT HERE YOUR TOTAL NUMBER OF RESULTS

$total_pages = ceil($total_item / $limit);

if ($total_item == 0) {
$content_start = 0;
} else {
$content_start = $set_limit +1;
}

$content_end = (($limit*$page)>=$total_item)?$total_item:($limit*$page);
$start_page = ($page<9)?1:($page-5);
$end_page = (($start_page+9)<$total_pages)?($start_page+9):$total_pages;
$rss_items = $rss->get_items($set_limit, $limit);
$array = array();// now we can iterate through all results
$main_array = array();
$page_result = 1;
$start_limit = $limit * ($page - 1) + 1;
$end_limit = $start_limit + $limit;

//PUT YOUR CODE HERE

if ($total_pages > 1) { ?>
<div style="padding-bottom:20px;">
<span>Page <?php echo $page;?> of <?php echo $total_pages; ?></span> <?php
if ($page != 1) { ?>
<a href="?page=<?=$prev_page?>"><<</a> <?php
}
for ($count=1; $count<=$total_pages; $count++) {
if ($count == $page) { ?>
<span><?php echo $count; ?></span> <?php
} else { ?>
<a href="?page=<?=$count?>" ><?php echo $count; ?></a> <?php
}
}
if ($page != $total_pages) { ?>
<a href="?page=<?php echo $next_page; ?>">>></a> <?php
} ?>
</div> <?php
} else {
echo "No result found.";
}

Case Sensitive Mysql Query

By default Mysql queries are case insensitive.If we want to make it case sensitive then syntax will be

SELECT *  FROM  table  WHERE  BINARY column = ‘value’

We just need to add keyword Binary.

Password Protect a folder or page using apache

Make sure you have AllowOverride All

First Create any dummy file at any location.For eg i have created pass.txt in /ete/ folder

touch /etc/pass.txt

In .htaccess write this code

AuthName "Restricted"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/pass.txt
Require valid-user

Then Write this command
htpasswd -mc “path to file” username(any username)

For eg htpasswd -mc “/etc/pass.txt” admin

Then it will prompt for password.Give any password.

If we want to give permission on a particular file in that case we need to write this code

<FilesMatch “admin.php$”>
AuthName “Restricted”
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/pass.txt
Require valid-user
</FilesMatch>

Custom Atom rss elements

Solution of numeric keypad not working on Ubuntu

I have a Microsoft Keyboard and i don’t know what happened all of a sudden numeric keypad wasn’t working so i though there was some issue in my keyboard so i changed the keyboard but i was surprised to see problem was same again this time.

So i searched on Google and found that there was some Keyboard settings in Windows and Ubuntu.

In Ubuntu here it is how can we change it

Go to

1) System
2) Preferences
3) Keyboard (Tab: Mouse Keys)
4) Uncheck (Allow to control pointer using the keyboard).

Setup Cron on Ubuntu

.---------------- minute (0 - 59)
|   .------------- hour (0 - 23)
|   |   .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
|   |   |   .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
|   |   |   |  .----- day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon..
|   |   |   |  |
*   *   *   *  *  command to be executed

If we want to setup a cron using curl then syntax will be
0 */6 * * * /usr/bin/curl http://SCRIPT_PATH.php
So this cron will run every 4 hours

This script will run every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/curl http://SCRIPT_PATH.php

WordPress disable parent menu using jquery

<script language=javascript>

     });
  });
</script>



WordPress Posts Counter Widget

I have created a small widget to show total no of posts on your blog.You just need to copy this code and save the file in plugins folder and activate plugin.

After that you can drag and drop widget in your theme.

<?php


/*


Plugin Name: Posts Counter


Description: A plugin which allows you to show total number of Posts on your blog.


Author: Kapil Chugh


Author URI: https://kapilchugh.wordpress.com/


Plugin URI: http://mediologysoftware.com/


Version: 0.1


*/


add_action( 'widgets_init', 'add_posts_counter' );


function add_posts_counter() {


register_widget( 'WP_Widget_Posts_Counter' );


}


class WP_Widget_Posts_Counter extends WP_Widget {


function WP_Widget_Posts_Counter() {


$widget_ops = array('classname' =>  'widget_featured_entries', 'description' => __( "This 
widget will  show total no of posts on your site") );


$this->WP_Widget('posts_counter', __('Posts Counter'), $widget_ops);


$this->alt_option_name = 'posts_counter_widget';


}


function widget($args, $instance) {


extract($args);


$title = apply_filters('widget_title',  
empty($instance['title']) ? __('Posts Counter') : $instance['title'],  $instance, $this->id_base);


echo $before_widget;


if ( $title ) echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;


$num_posts = wp_count_posts( 'post' );


echo 'Total Posts ' . $num_posts->publish;


echo $after_widget;


}


function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {


$instance = $old_instance;


$instance['title'] = strip_tags($new_instance['title']);


return $instance;


}


function form( $instance ) {


$title = isset($instance['title']) ? esc_attr($instance['title']) : ''; ?>


<p><label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>"><?php _e('Title:'); ?></label>


<input id="<?php echo  $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>" 
name="<?php echo  $this->get_field_name('title'); ?>" 
type="text" value="<?php  echo $title; ?>" /></p>


<?php


}


}


?>

Add read more link in excerpt

By default wordpress adds [..] after every excerpt.I have created a function to remove this sign add your own text.

You just need to add this in your functions.php file

add_filter(‘wp_trim_excerpt’, custom_excerpt);
function custom_excerpt($text) {
$text = str_replace(‘[…]’, ‘<a href=”‘ . get_permalink() .'”>..Read More</a>’, $text);
return $text;
}
