Fix https on Chrome links

In Chrome, WooCommerce is adding “https” in front of links.

To fix that, add this line on functions.php (on your active theme):

[php]

$_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] = false;

[/php]

And that should do the trick.

Prevent WordPress Backdoors

1. Use Strong Passwords – Force strong passwords on your users. Start using a password managing utility like 1Password.
2. 2-Step Authentication – If your password got compromised, the user would still need to have the verification code from your phone.
3. Limit Login Attempts – This plugin allows you to lock the user out after X numbers of failed login attempts.
4. Disable Theme and Plugin Editors – This prevents user escalation issues. Even if the user’s privileges were escalated, they couldn’t modify your theme or plugins using the WP-Admin.
5. Password Protect WP-Admin – You can password protect the entire directory. You can also limit access by IP.
6. Disable PHP Execution in Certain WordPress Directories – This disables PHP execution in the upload directories and other directories of your choice. Basically so even if someone was able to upload the file in your uploads folder, they wouldn’t be able to execute it.
7. Stay UPDATED – Run the latest version of WordPress, and upgrade your plugins.

Create responsive slides

The info is from http://responsiveslides.com/

ResponsiveSlides.js v1.54
Simple & lightweight responsive slider plugin (in 1kb)

ResponsiveSlides.js is a tiny jQuery plugin that creates a responsive slider using elements inside a container. It has been used on sites like Microsoft’s Build 2012 and Gridset App. ResponsiveSLides.js works with wide range of browsers including all IE versions from IE6 and up. It also adds css max-width support for IE6 and other browsers that don’t natively support it. Only dependency is jQuery (1.6 and up supported) and that all the images are same size.

Biggest difference to other responsive slider plugins is the file size (1.4kb minified and gzipped) + that this one doesn’t try to do everything. Responsive Slides has basically only two different modes: Either it just automatically fades the images, or operates as a responsive image container with pagination and/or navigation to fade between slides.

How To Display WooCommerce Featured Products

This is done by using the meta_key as bellow:

[php]
$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘product’,
‘meta_key’ => ‘_featured’,
‘meta_value’ => ‘yes’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 1
);

$featured_query = new WP_Query( $args );

if ($featured_query->have_posts()) :

while ($featured_query->have_posts()) :

$featured_query->the_post();

$product = get_product( $featured_query->post->ID );

// Output product information here

endwhile;

endif;

wp_reset_query(); // Remember to reset
[/php]

Enjoy!

Show posts on front end, even if they are already visible in admin

When importing products, they need to have the meta_key “total_sales” set to 0. Otherwise, use this code:

[php]

include_once ‘../wp-config.php’;

$query = "SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type=’product’";
$products = $wpdb->get_results($query);

foreach ($products as $product){

$q = "SELECT meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘total_sales’ AND post_id = " . $product->ID;
$x = $wpdb->get_results($q);
if (!$x){
$query = "INSERT INTO wp_postmeta (`post_id`, `meta_key`, `meta_value`)
VALUES ($product->ID, ‘total_sales’, ‘0’);";

$x = $wpdb->query($query);
}

}

[/php]
