    you will need to find a “hook” (search the codex for all available hooks) that will put your function in the right place.

    then to call the function you would right it like this:

    say your function looks like this:

    function(){
//do stuff here
}

    when you call it you change a few characters like this:

    //calling the function
function();

    if you are adding it to a hook (say for instance the “the_content” hook)

    add_filter('the_content', 'function', 99);

    if you just want it on the homepage you would probably need to add the is_home() check into the function before doing anything.

    okay, should of waited a bit, ive found a fix.

    adding the is_feed() call INSIDE the seo_title() function got it to work.

    im still sure this is because i was calling the variable before wordpress loads, but now its fixed, hope this helps others.

    okay, i think ive figured some of it out, but now have another problem. first heres the code i am using to get it working (sort of)

    function seop_update_page_stats(){
global $post;
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'page' );
$myposts = get_posts($args);
foreach( $myposts as $post ) {
setup_postdata($post);
$id = $post->ID;
$result = stuff i do to get the data
update_post_meta($id, 'seop_stats', $result);
}
}

    so this code sort of works (i also have the same function for the “posts” page type), i can set this up to run off the wordpress cron.

    problem is this only seems to do some of the posts. i dont this as a timeout either as it doing some old post, and some new ones, but it doesnt seem to update all posts.

    has anyone every had anything similar?

    is that right?

    i mean when you call an option, does it only call it once per page?

    say i had get_bloginfo(‘url’); called 5-6 times on the same page.

    would that give me 5-6 database calls or one?

    thanks for posting

    its not for specific use, its just a suggestion i got from a theme reviewer last time i submitted my theme.

    they said the functions should describe what they do (ie press_3_load_sidebar_1)

    i think i may go through and do as you suggested, name functions on a different basis.

    i may use your $shortname method for text domain/translation though.

    do i have to call “global” inside each function i call these?

    yes i know, but you use it within a function, not to name a function.

    function $shortname.setup(){

}

    the above code doesnt work.

    thanks for the reply, but doesnt really help me.

    i too have a lot of different files linked with functions (shortcodes/help/widgets/general/optionspage/etc)

    i was hoping i could implement something similar to the $shortname for my entire functions files.

    right know i have a theme im working on called “press3”

    so my functions look like this

    function press_3_widget_load
function press_3_register_sidebar
function_press_3_options_page

    etc.

    when i want to create a new theme, i need to go through all of these files and change the press_3 part to whatever relates to the new theme.

    but if i could set something up like the shortname you mentioned, i would only have to change the original

    &themename =

    and all functions would work and be named specific to new theme.

    maybe if this isnt possible i could add in a str replace function right at the begining of the original functions.php file???

    i dont know, how would i check?

    this code worked fine while in the page and post templates.

    im trying to move it to a function to clean up the code.

    maybe you are onto something with the global $post thing.

    how would i implement it into this function?
