Upload files

Using the REST API to upload a file to WordPress is quite simple. All you need is to send the file in a POST-Request to the wp/v2/media route.

There are two ways of sending a file. The first method simply sends the file in the body of the request. The following PHP script shows the basic principle:

Useful emoji for git commit messages

If you add emoji to your commit messages for a GitHub repo, they become less boring, and you can convey the kind of change you're adding. See the full set of GitHub supported emoji here (also useful for easy copy&paste via a simple click).

The following is a possible scheme to use:

git ls-files -z | xargs -0n1 git blame -w | perl -n -e '/^.*\((.*?)\s*[\d]{4}/; print $1,"\n"' | sort -f | uniq -c | sort -n

Show and Edit User Meta in WordPress

Description

This simple procedure will allow you to:

1. Display user meta fields under in the user list as additional columsn (Users > All Users).
2. Display these fields on user profiles.
3. Edit these fields under user edit.

This method works completely without plugins and involves just some functions and hooks in functions.php. Plugins like "User Meta Display" achieve this to some level, but treat custom meta fiedlds completely different from the regular fields. They are shown and edited in seperate environment and fail to show the meta data is a table list. This method integrates custom user meta along with regular user (meta).
