Did you know you could directly access all the media files in your WordPress library via the API?1 All I had to do was look and here’s the documentation on all sorts of nice options. You can also restrict the query by file type with a URL like this option to get 10 most recent […]

In case you are also running some older WordPress multisites and having issues where images have disappeared after the 6.8 update, I’m re-publishing what I found as a temporary solution here. You’ll likely see 500 errors in the console and fatal errors if you to the actual image URL. You will see the images if […]
When we re-did our DLINQ site, I set up a custom reservation system mixing Events Calendar Pro and Gravity Forms. One piece was sending out confirmation emails that include a URL that would enable people who registered to cancel their reservations. It was just a URL in the email with a URL parameter that acts […]

Alan has been on top of some things happening with pinboard.in. It seems that public links to tags, searches, etc. have been shut off due to hackers attacking those urls. That’s been the social bookmarking site of choice for a number of people in my internet circles. I’m not super-social but it is important to […]

The latest issue has been that the textbook was imported to the grant provider’s site and for some reason the glossary terms are all set to private. There is no bulk edit option to publicize them and there […]
I was trying to do some specific template changes based on a category with Events Calendar Pro events. With single events, I could pretty easily use has_term like I’d do with a regular WP post. For some reason this wouldn’t work with recurring events. I’m still not sure why. I didn’t go into the database […]

I supported the creation of a PressBooks OER textbook at VCU. It’s now getting published as part of a VIVA grant. As part of that, the book is imported into the central VIVA PressBooks site. They reached out to me indicating that the image links for WP media links were failing on the VIVA site. […]
For one of our multisites, I wanted an easy way to see show people the media storage usage per site. I did a bit of Googling and got a couple functions to get the size of a directory using PHP.1 Then I just appended it to the column I’d already customized to show the posts […]
So what I’m doing here is sending an email the day before an event someone registered for via a Gravity Forms process I set up. This is kind of an interesting pattern because it moves back and forth from the Gravity Forms API and uses a mix of Events Calendar functions, in addition to basic […]
