In my WordPress, when I open the media library, it shows all the images in the media library. But whenever I try to add new pictures in any post/page/form and proceed to insert media from the library, it does not show any image and continuously reading gallery.

My website home page returns "ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT". All the other pages of the website are fine. It just returns this issue for the Homepage (meaning: https://www.mywebsiteurl.com/).

The reason is that Wordpress decides to redirect to "https:///" (cf. screenshot below: X-redirect-by: Wordpress)

I have already:

Cleared my browser cache
Restarted Nginx, Varnish and Apache
Deactivated the plugins from wordpress
in my wp-config.php file the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL are set properly.

I did just upgraded to Wordpress: 5.6.1 and also updated my Theme yesterday. There was no problem before the upgrade. So the problem is certainly coming from one of these actions.

My question is, What else should I check? What are the next actions that I could take the figure out where the problem comes from? Any advanced debugging I could do somehow?

Thanks a lot.

The last virtual host from wordpress.com should not be taken in to account because Apache just listens on port 8080. Nginx, my front webserver listens on port 80 and 443.

I have dynamic text that Loco Translate isn't recognizing.I added the text myself to a plugin file I downloaded from the WordPress repository.I ran several different tests; I'll only include two here to keep it brief.

This is the first one I tried:

// We rendered the requested dynamic title.

 echo '<h2 class="product-results-page-title" style="margin-bottom: 30px; text-align: left;">';
        echo sprintf(
            /* translators: 1: cantidad de productos, 2: lista de alérgenos */
            /* translators: %$s: Number of products found */
            _n(
                'This is the %1$s product without %2$s',
                'These are the %1$s products without %2$s',
                $count,
                'product-search-for-woocommerce'
            ),
            '<strong>' . (int) $count . '</strong>',
            '<span class="product-search-name">' . esc_html($list_text) . '</span>'
        );
        echo '</h2>';
echo '</h2>';

It doesn't recognize this one

 // 1. We prepared the text to be translated in isolation so that Loco could see it clearly.
    
    $texto_singular = 'This is the %1$s product without %2$s';
    
    $texto_plural = 'These are the %1$s products without %2$s';
    
    // 2. We obtain the translation (using the $count variable for the plural)
    
    $mensaje_traducido = _n( $texto_singular, $texto_plural, (int) $count, 'product-search-for-woocommerce' );
    
    // 3. We render safely
    
    echo '<h2 class="product-results-page-title" style="margin-bottom: 30px; text-align: left;">';
    
    echo sprintf(
    
    $mensaje_traducido,
    
    '<strong>' . (int) $count . '</strong>',
    
    '<span class="product-search-name">' . esc_html( $list_text ) . '</span>'
    
    );
    
    echo '</h2>';

It doesn't recognize this one either.

What am I doing wrong?

I have a question regarding layout structure in WordPress Elementor.

In my team, my seniors recommend continuing to use Sections and Columns, stating that sections provide better responsiveness. Their main reasoning is that the existing website has been built using sections for a long time, so we should maintain consistency and continue using the same approach for new pages.

However, after researching Elementor’s recent updates and documentation, I found that Containers (Flexbox) are officially recommended by Elementor and are generally considered more efficient and responsive compared to sections. Containers also seem to offer better performance, cleaner structure, and more control over responsive layouts.

My question is:

From a technical and best-practice perspective, are Containers actually better than Sections for responsiveness and performance?
Is there any valid technical disadvantage in using containers for new pages, even if older pages are built with sections?
Or is sticking to sections purely a legacy/consistency decision rather than a responsiveness limitation?

I would appreciate insights from experienced Elementor users or developers who have worked with both approaches.

Thank you.

I'm trying to integrate a Google Apps Script (GAS) web app into a WordPress site via an iframe.

The basic integration works, but only with a static iframe height.

To achieve automatic height resize, I tried having the web app communicate with the WordPress page via postMessage and similar logic.

Since then, problems have appeared: sandboxing, CORB, GAS internal script blocking, Google-generated security iframe, etc.

In practice, GAS prevents any two-way communication between the iframe and the host page.

To circumvent these limitations, I even tried a reverse proxy using Cloudflare Workers to serve the web app from my custom domain.

The proxy technically works, but GAS continues to return its fallback page (with internal iframe and goog.script.init script) instead of my web app, as if it weren't executing the user code when the request arrives via a custom domain.

All the questions on similar topics found here are many years old!

At this point, I ask:

Are there any unexplored solutions that allow a GAS web app to be integrated into an external domain with dynamic iframe resizing, or are there architectural alternatives that allow reliable communication between the iframe and the host page?

EDIT: (@snuffy) regarding the using of Iframe resize. Below you can see configuration on GAS side

<head>
    ...
    
    <script>
      window.iframeResizer = {
        license: "GPLv3",
        onReady: () => console.log("[GAS] iframe-resizer is ready"),
      }
    </script>

    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@iframe-resizer/child@5.5.7"></script>                   <!-- JS di iframe-resizer.js -->
    
    ...
 </head>
 
<script>
      ...
      
      // manage dynamic behaviour of the app after DOM loading
      document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", async function() {
        ...
        
        // handshake iframe-resizer iniziale
        top.postMessage('gasFrame', '*');
        console.log('[GAS] Inviato gasFrame');
      });

I'm using code that displays a pop-up notification about adding a product to the cart.

    // Registration of styles and scripts

                product_name = $('.single-product .product_title').text(); 
            } else {
                // Otherwise, we consider this to be a shop page.
                product_name = $(button).closest('.product').find('.wd-entities-title').text();

            // Displaying a message about adding an item to the cart
            showPopup(`"${product_name}" added to cart`);
        });
    });
    </script>
    <?php
    }

My website uses the Woodmart theme, which uses different styles for the product title. On the single product page, the notification works correctly, but on the shop page, the product title doesn't appear in the notification.

Here is a screenshot of the HTML structure:

How can I correct my code so that the product title appears in the notification?

This is a WordPress site and errors occurs anywhere at random times while browsing the site or dashboard. It's always the same byte 53248 or 8192. Very small bytes in fact. But there is something else going on there other than insufficient memory.

I guess there is a bug somewhere. It throws the error from /wp-includes/wp-db.php from line 1896:

$num_rows = 0;
if ( $this->use_mysqli && $this->result instanceof mysqli_result ) {
    while ( $row = mysqli_fetch_object( $this->result ) ) {
            $this->last_result[$num_rows] = $row;
            $num_rows++;
    }
} elseif ( is_resource( $this->result ) ) {
    while ( $row = mysql_fetch_object( $this->result ) ) {
            $this->last_result[$num_rows] = $row;
            $num_rows++;
    }

My WordPress site is built with Divi Builder and Divi Plus. This is the first time this (shortcode displayed on the imagen on the link) appears on the frontend.

I already tried disabling and enabling all the plugins. I’m using Divi Plus and Divi Flash with MemberPress.

This is how the frontend looks: https://gyazo.com/8885e1309c9ac4590133afa76eba045a

Does anyone know where this could be coming from?

Thanks!

I built my website with WordPress. When I search for my website (amngroup.se) on Google, the search results display a strange or incorrect favicon (a bird) instead of my own. However, when I visit the website directly, the correct favicon is shown. I also tested using Google's favicon service:

https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=amngroup.se&sz=64

This correctly shows my favicon.

Why does Google Search display a different favicon, and how can I ensure it shows the correct one?

I am using Wordpress 4.0 with Bootstrap 3.0 and I have just included Font Awesome via the functions.php file. Everything is working fine (I've used the icons for social media etc).

Now, I want to change the "Search" button in the sidebar to a Font Awesome icon (a search icon, instead of button+text). The code in the file wp-includes/general-template.php looks like this:

    <label>
        <span class="screen-reader-text">' . _x( '', 'label' ) . '</span>
        <input type="search" class="search-field" placeholder="' . esc_attr_x( '', 'placeholder' ) . '" value="' . get_search_query() . '" name="s" title="' . esc_attr_x( '', 'label' ) . '" />
    </label>
    <input type="submit" class="search-submit" value="'. esc_attr_x( 'Search', 'submit button' ) .'" />

I want just an input field with the icon next to it, like so:

    <label>
        <span class="screen-reader-text">' . _x( '', 'label' ) . '</span>
        <input type="search" class="search-field" placeholder="' . esc_attr_x( '', 'placeholder' ) . '" value="' . get_search_query() . '" name="s" title="' . esc_attr_x( '', 'label' ) . '" />
    </label>
    <i class="fa fa-search"></i>

But yeah, this is not working... If I click on the icon, nothing happens. I have tried to put the i class etc into where now is esc_attr_x( 'Search', but that didn't help either.

Is there a desktop app (preferably) or web-based interface that will take my exported WordPress XML file and let me peruse each post before letting me decide which posts to keep and re-export as an XML file?

I'm trying to use the code below to retrieve the currently logged-in user's roles into a hidden field, Custom Value, in Forminator Form. However, after submitting the form, Submission only returns {all_user_roles} instead of the actual user roles. What's wrong with my code ?

add_action('init', function() {

    add_filter('forminator_custom_form_submit_field_value', 'inject_user_roles_into_hidden_field', 10, 4);

    function inject_user_roles_into_hidden_field($value, $field, $submitted_data, $form_id) {

        // Only target this hidden field
        if (!isset($field['element_id']) || $field['element_id'] !== 'hidden-9') {
            return $value;
        }

        // WordPress-standard role retrieval (as per StackOverflow best practice)
        if (is_user_logged_in()) {
            $user  = wp_get_current_user();   // WP_User object
            $roles = (array) $user->roles;    // Always an array
            return implode(', ', $roles);     // Convert to string
        }

        return 'guest';
    }
});

I am developing a Wordpress plugin which requires ImageMagick.

I was testing ImageMagick on my server with this code:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: IM Trial
/

add_action('admin_menu','admin');

function admin() {
add_submenu_page( 'options-general.php', 'Watermark', 'Watermark', 'manage_options',     'handle-uploads-admin111', adminxy );
}

function adminxy() {

$input = site_url('/wp-content/plugins/New/earth_310.png');

if($input){
echo 'Input fetched';
}
else{
echo 'Probs';
}

$output = site_url('/wp-content/plugins/New/output.png');

exec("convert $input $output");
exec("/usr/bin/convert $input $output");
}
?>

I am running my wordpress on Hostgator and they told me that ImageMagick is installed on my server. But, the above code does not give me any output. Actually, it should be creating a new image file 'output.png' in /plugins/New folder. But, it is neither giving any error message nor outputting the image.

Is there something I am lacking in the code??? I appreciate any help.

WordPress site infected with malware causing redirect to external domain even after disabling plugins and theme

I’m dealing with a persistent malware issue on a WordPress site that redirects all traffic to:

https://www1.newsus.app/mpc/

Here’s what I’ve already tried and checked:

The site is hosted on Hostinger
I reviewed and cleaned:
- .htaccess
- index.php
The folder /wp-content/mu-plugins/ is empty
I renamed the entire /wp-content/plugins/ folder (so all plugins are disabled)
I also deactivated and changed the active theme
Even with plugins disabled and the theme changed, the redirect still happens
I discovered that the original theme (Impreza – premium, but outdated) seems to be infected
Cloudflare is enabled, but the redirect still happens even when bypassing cache

The redirect happens immediately when accessing the site, both on frontend and admin.

At this point, I’m suspecting:

A hidden PHP file injected somewhere else (maybe wp-includes, uploads, or root)
A compromised database option (like siteurl, home, or injected JS/PHP)
Server-level infection or cron job

My questions:

Where else should I look for hidden malware that survives plugin and theme deactivation?
Are there common places WordPress malware hides that are often overlooked?
Could this be coming from the database or server-level scripts?
Any recommended steps or tools to fully trace and remove this type of redirect malware?

Any help or guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I have a print stylesheet for my (Wordpress) site, and I want images to print on a single page rather than being split across pages. In some cases, even lines of text are being split across pages. I've included img {page-break: avoid;) in my print stylesheet, but no luck. I've found some previous answers but they're kind of old.

Is there a reliable way to print a moderately-sized image on a single page rather than splitting it across pages? Why are lines of text breaking across pages?

I have a question for wordpress and elementor users.

Which is better a container or sections?

My seniors are saying sections are better at responsiveness so we have to use sections, but I researched and found out that containers are better. My senior's explaination is like we are using sections for long time for all pages on our website so we have to use that only, but I think if containers are better then change can be done in new pages. What are your views on this.

Please help.

I am trying to remove the "Have a coupon" section that sits at the top of a Woocommerce checkout page (/checkout).

I would like to keep the coupon section on the Cart page, so I can't completely disable coupons, but would like it removed on the checkout page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a PHP code, in need to open a link in new tab.

But i tried target='_blank' in all the areas not working.

return "<a href='".get_home_url()."/out/".$post->ID.
 "/".$GLOBALS['CORE_THEME']['code_link']."/' title='"
.$post->ID."' rel='nofollow' class='btn btn-primary cbtn'>"
.$CORE->_e(array('button'))."</a>";

I am trying to understand how WordPress stores data internally in the database.

I know that WordPress uses MySQL and that default posts and pages are stored in the wp_posts table.

I would like to understand:

- When a custom post type is created, is it stored in the same wp_posts table?

- How does WordPress differentiate between posts, pages, and custom post types?

- Where are custom fields or metadata related to a custom post type stored?

- Are additional database tables involved, or does WordPress rely mainly on wp_posts and wp_postmeta?

I have read some documentation, but I am looking for a clear explanation of the database structure behind custom post types.

Any explanation or references to official documentation would be helpful.

I'm using a child theme. I want to override a template of base theme. I created, articles-page.php which starts with:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Articles
*/

While creating a page in Wordpress I can see my template listed in the Page Attributes widget to my right. The problem is, when I change my template setting to "Articles" and hit update. It still shows default. My change is not being saved, hence my template is not being loaded for that page.

The below code displays my selected page, its content and shortcode correctly. The page is selected from a theme options panel in the WP Admin.

I am struggling to echo the post title. At the moment, it's echoing all page titles.

<?php
     $blockwho = get_option('good_blockwho');
     $homeblockwho = get_pages ('post_name='.$blockwho); ?>


<?php foreach ($homeblockwho as $hbw) {   
     $content = $hbw->post_content;
     $title = $hbw->post_title;
     apply_filters('the_content', $content);
  
     echo "<h2><span>".$title."</span></h2>";
     echo "".do_shortcode($content)."";
} ?>

I would appreciate some help regarding Advanced Custom Fields repeater. The thing is that I am building a gallery with the plugin but I need pagination at the end of the page. I am displaying the pagination links, but when clicking they don't seem to work. Is it something with the url of the page - it's not showing page number in the url. Here is my code:

<?php


/*

if (get_query_var('paged')) {
    $page = get_query_var('paged');
} else {
    $page = 1;
}

// Variables
$row             = 0;
$images_per_page = 2; // How many images to display on each page
$images          = get_field('thumbnail_image_repeater');
$total           = count($images);
$pages           = ceil($total / $images_per_page);
$min             = (($page * $images_per_page) - $images_per_page) + 1;
$max             = ($min + $images_per_page) - 1;
?> 

 <?php
if (have_rows('thumbnail_image_repeater')):
?> 
   <?php
    while (have_rows('thumbnail_image_repeater')):
        the_row();
        $row++;

        // Ignore this image if $row is lower than $min
        if ($row < $min) {
        continue;
        }

        // Stop loop completely if $row is higher than $max
        if ($row > $max) {
            break;
        }
?>   

 <?php

        $thumbnail_name = get_sub_field('thumbnail_name');
?>

I’m implementing a custom author archive in WordPress where the author page lists posts based on custom meta fields (ACF user fields), not post_author.

What works

/author/author-slug/ loads correctly
Page 1 shows the correct posts
Pagination links are generated correctly

What doesn’t work

/author/author-slug/page/2/ returns 404 / Forbidden
WordPress code and rewrites seem correct
Pagination never reaches WordPress on page 2 in staging

Setup details

WordPress (Genesis-based theme, but not doing anything custom with Genesis loops)
Custom post type: document
Author page shows documents where:
- _dg_document_writer_id = author_id OR
- _dg_document_reviewer_id = author_id
Pagination size: 9

Code

Author template (`author.php`)

<?php
/**
 * Author archive template (DocumentGenius)

Can someone help to fix?

I'm using the Woocommerce Subscriptions plugin, and in the processing order renewal email I wanted to show when the next payment date will be. However when I try to access the next payment date for an order it always returns false.

<?php
    if (WC_Subscriptions_Renewal_Order::is_renewal( $order ) ) { /* This returns true */
        $parent_id = WC_Subscriptions_Renewal_Order::get_parent_order_id( $order ); /* This gets the original parent order id */
        $parent_order = new WC_Order( $parent_id );
        foreach ($parent_order->get_items() as $item) { /* This loops through each item in the order */
            $h = WC_Subscriptions_Order::get_next_payment_date ( $parent_order, $item['product_id'] ); /* This should get the next payment date... */
            var_dump($h); /* But it returns false :-( */
        }
    }
?>

Other functions such as WC_Subscriptions_Order::get_total_initial_payment() work as expected.

How can I get the next payment date for a subscription order?
