WordPress: get author info / user details from post id

/0 Comments/in /by

Some times we needed to pull out the author data from a post id. It is very easy do it in wordpress.

It can be accomplished by the_author_meta() function or get_the_author_meta() function. You will need call this function in your theme or plugin, through a hook.

the_author_meta() –> Outputs the data, just like echo
get_the_author_meta() -> holds the value in value.

We can get the data like this :

 

$auth = get_post($post_ID); // gets author from post
$authid = $auth->post_author; // gets author id for the post
$user_email = get_the_author_meta('user_email',$authid); // retrieve user email
$user_firstname = get_the_author_meta('user_firstname',$authid); // retrieve firstname
$user_nickname = get_the_author_meta('nickname,$authid); // retrieve user nickname

The following list of user fields you can retrieve using this function.

  • user_login
  • user_pass
  • user_nicename
  • user_email
  • user_url
  • user_registered
  • user_activation_key
  • user_status
  • display_name
  • nickname
  • first_name
  • last_name
  • description
  • jabber
  • aim
  • yim
  • user_level
  • user_firstname
  • user_lastname
  • user_description
  • rich_editing
  • comment_shortcuts
  • admin_color
  • plugins_per_page
  • plugins_last_view
  • ID

What is WordPress Permalink

/0 Comments/in /by

WordPress offers you the ability to create a custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives. Custom URL structures can improve the aesthetics, usability, and forward-compatibility of your links.

Permalinks are the permanent URLs of your individual blog post or page on your WordPress site. Permalinks are also referred to as pretty links. By default, WordPress URLs use the query string format which look something like this:

http://www.example.com/?p=123

  • where “123” is the ID of a given post or page in the database.

To set permalinks in WordPress

There are two way to set permalinks on the Wordrpess sites:

  1. You need to set the permalink structure right after you launch a new WordPress site.
  2. You should set the permalinks for every piece of content individually.

1. How to set the permalink structure in WordPress

There are various different formats that you can use. Day and name, Month and name, Numeric, Post name, and Custom structure. Any format that is not the default one is SEO friendly. It just comes down to your preference after that.

Go to Settings » Permalinks option page,  Once there, select this option:

  • Just to make sure we’re on the same page, it’s the one labeled “Post name.”

Now, why this one?

Quite simply, it holds the least amount of unneeded clutter… There are no seemingly random numbers, no dates, no arbitrary words (like “archives”). There’s just the post name that you can control 100% (more on that in the next point).

Note. Why you don’t want dates in your permalinks? The main reason is because dates discourage your visitors from reading your older content. Any date that’s older than last week (or so) looks like out-of-date information, despite the fact that it might still be very valid, or might even be evergreen.

After you select that new permalink structure (“Post name”), just click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the settings page.

2. How to set the individual permalinks for posts/pages

You can update permalink directly on the each individual posts or pages. For example you see here

 

Click on the edit and you can update anything…..

Oh, Finally update the page 🙂 and you’r done!!

How to enable maintenance mode in Magento

/in , , /by

This article describes how to enable maintenance mode in Magento. When Magento is in maintenance mode, visitors see a Service Temporarily Unavailable message in their web browsers instead of the store. However, authorized IP addresses can still view the store normally.

This feature allows you to develop and test your store before it goes “live,” or do other maintenance tasks, such as installing updates.

To set Magento in maintenance mode you need to create a file with name “maintenance.flag” and drop it to Magento home directory. While this file exists your website visitors will see a temporary page (/errors/503.php). If you want to edit this page content you can find it in Magento admin – CMS/Pages, it is called “503 Service Unavailable”.

Once you finished with changes and your website is ready to work just delete maintenance.flag file and maintenance mode will be off, so your Magento website will work as usual.

All we need to do it edit 3 lines.

Open: index.php in root and above line 57 add (remembering to edit the ‘allowed’ array to contain the IP’s you want to be able to access the site);

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$allowed = array('1.1.1.1','2.2.2.2'); // these are the IP's that are allowed to view the site.

then change the line
if (file_exists($maintenanceFile)) {
to
if (file_exists($maintenanceFile) && !in_array($ip, $allowed)) {

Simple. Now you can access the site, while others see its maintenance mode.
