Yours definitely includes functionality I’d consider having in a post password manager plugin (the ability to sync all passworded posts to the same password; at least that’s how I understood what your plugin did from the description and now from what you said), but for this I really wanted to have it so the master post password worked in addition to the existing post password without changing anything. * Different ways of accomplishing some similar ends! * The feed and permalink stuff yours does could similarly be implemented in mine, which is worth a consideration. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Admin Post Navigation] Update post and next](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-post-and-next/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-post-and-next/#post-3209111) * Thanks for the suggestion!

It should fix this bug. It also includes a tool you can use to test how it would treat usernames. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Restrict Usernames] WP 3.4.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-342/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-342/#post-3147300) * I just released v3.3 of the plugin. I fixed a bug relating the the partial username restrictions, but that doesn’t sound like what you’re experiencing. * If you continue to have issues, please provide more details about what you’re attempting to do. How have you configured the plugin and how are you verifying that is isn’t working? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Restrict Usernames] [Plugin: Restrict Usernames] Update for WP 3.4?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-restrict-usernames-update-for-wp-34/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-restrict-usernames-update-for-wp-34/#post-2920774) * Are trying to allow or prevent spaces in usernames?

You probably know that. * I’m not familiar with Magic Members and since it is a commercial plugin I can’t investigate it for you. The first thing I would have checked would be to see if the extra custom user fields are indeed being stored as traditional WP user custom fields. It’s possible the plugin is storing those extra fields in a different way (as a plugin setting or in a separate data table). * If it does use the WP user custom fields table, then it’s just a matter of knowing the exact custom field names/keys it uses. As a commercial plugin, you may be able to request that information from their support team. * If you have access (and the comfort level) to view the database tables for your site, look at the table that ends with “_usermeta”. The “meta_key” column contains the names you need to know in order to use the plugin’s widget, shortcode, or template function to access the associated “meta_value”. So find the “meta_value” that contains information you supplied Magic Members via the User profile page. If it’s there, then the associated “meta_key” is what you’ll use with Get User Custom Field Values. * Hope that helps! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Restrict Usernames] [Plugin: Restrict Usernames] Update for WP 3.4?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-restrict-usernames-update-for-wp-34/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-restrict-usernames-update-for-wp-34/#post-2920702) * Indeed. The plugin will be updated shortly. Stay tuned. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Get Custom Field Values] [Plugin: Get Custom Field Values] Redirect permalink to url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-get-custom-field-values-redirect-permalink-to-url/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-get-custom-field-values-redirect-permalink-to-url/#post-2799769) * Ok, I understand what you’re trying to accomplish. How have you used the Get Custom Field Values plugin in this process? If you’ve inserted one of its template tags into a template, what template(s) and could you include the code snippet? If a shortcode, what was the shortcode? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Auto-hyperlink URLs] [Plugin: Auto-hyperlink URLs] Hyperlinks in custom fields](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-auto-hyperlink-urls-hyperlinks-in-custom-fields/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-auto-hyperlink-urls-hyperlinks-in-custom-fields/#post-2685019) * Assuming that plugin provided a filter for the custom field data it display the answer would be yes. But on a quick scan I did not see such a filter. Can you describe briefly how you’re using Advanced Custom Fields? That may help me help you. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Get Custom Field Values] [Plugin: Get Custom Field Values] Redirect permalink to url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-get-custom-field-values-redirect-permalink-to-url/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-get-custom-field-values-redirect-permalink-to-url/#post-2799617) * Can you provide an example of what you’ve done so far and demonstrate what you’d like to ultimately accomplish? I’m not clear what you’re looking to do or how you’re using the plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Preserve Code Formatting] [Plugin: Preserve Code Formatting] Preserve embed tag being transformed into object](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserve-code-formatting-preserve-embed-tag-being-transformed-into-object/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserve-code-formatting-preserve-embed-tag-being-transformed-into-object/#post-2675135) * Are you trying to display the `` as code in a post, or are you trying to actually put that in a post and want the browser to treat it as an embed? * If the latter, then the question doesn’t relate to the plugin. You would have to enter the embed markup in the plain HTML editor rather than the Visual editor. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Get Custom Field Values] [Plugin: Get Custom Field Values] "The Loop" Where to find it?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-get-custom-field-values-the-loop-where-to-find-it/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-get-custom-field-values-the-loop-where-to-find-it/#post-2741482) * Hi Talitta, * What are you trying to do with the plugin? Using a shortcode might be easier. * Using the template tag (`c2c_get_custom()`) requires some familiarity with the theme you’re modifying. The loop can be defined in multiple files, so it is dependent on how the theme is structured and what context you want to display the custom field data. * Provide a little context for what you’re trying to accomplish and I should be able to help steer you better. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Safe Function Call] [Plugin: Safe Function Call] Does it use 'echo' or '_e'?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-safe-function-call-does-it-use-echo-or-_e/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-safe-function-call-does-it-use-echo-or-_e/#post-2716469) * It uses `echo`. `_e()` is only really useful if it is utilized in conjunction with a textdomain, which can’t be parameterized. * It technically adds a slight bit more overhead. It essentially does the condition checks you’d do, but in order to accommodate passing along arbitrary arguments( making it flexible), it also uses `func_get_args()`. The extra overhead is quite minuscule and shouldn’t be noticeable. Even if being done 25+ times in a page. * With the plugin, you save in time writing the code, you write/see less code, and have some flexibility afforded by some of the various methods provided by the plugin. But everyone’s perception of that value will vary. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Disable Search] [Plugin: Disable Search] doesn't work with latest WP update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-disable-search-doesnt-work-with-latest-wp-update/) * Plugin Author [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-disable-search-doesnt-work-with-latest-wp-update/#post-2756556) * That message is intentionally output by the plugin when, as it says, a searchform. php file is present in your theme. The description for the plugin explains this in more detail. But basically a limitation in WP prevents the plugin from stopping the contents of searchform.php from being displayed. The notice is just meant to make you aware of that. * The plugin still works to prevent searches from returning anything and removes the search widget. But if your theme has a searchform.php file, the search form will still appear. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Problem with checked() function](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-checked-function/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-checked-function/#post-2705293) * Yes, you’ll want to register a callback to handle sanitization of submitted form values. It’s the third argument to the `register_setting()` function. * An example of the validation function: * ``` function sunburst_theme_options_validate( $input ) { $options = get_option( 'sunburst_theme_options' ); if ( ! isset( $input['checkbox'] ) || $input['checkbox'] != '1' ) $options['checkbox'] = 0; else $options['checkbox'] = 1; return $options; } ``` * If you have other options in your theme you’ll want to sanitize them in there as well.
