chrisjangl / updateWordPressPlugins.sh

Last active July 13, 2022 12:13

WP CLI script to update active plugins, and commit each update individually. 99% percent stolen from https://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2018/02/12/updating-plugins-using-git-and-wp-cli/, (ever so slightly) adapted to my own personal workflow

	for plugin in $(wp plugin list --update=available --status=active --field=name);
	do
	TITLE=$(wp plugin get $plugin --field=title)
	wp plugin update $plugin &&
	VERSION=$(wp plugin get $plugin --field=version)
	git add -A wp-content/plugins/$plugin &&
	git commit -m "$(printf "update plugin: $TITLE to $VERSION")"
	echo "$TITLE -> $VERSION" >> updated.txt
	done;

chrisjangl / find_page_template.sql

Created May 17, 2019 15:03

WordPress: SQL query to find all pages that use a certain page template. Can use WP CLI to run this query without have to log into cPanel/phpMyAdmin. Need to replace <wp_prefix_> & <page-template.php> to match your setup.

SELECT * FROM `<wp_prefix_>postmeta` WHERE `meta_key` LIKE '_wp_page_template' AND `meta_value` LIKE '<page-tempate.php>'

chrisjangl / .htaccess

Last active June 21, 2020 16:00

.htaccess to host WordPress in a subdirectory. Some shared hosting won't let your primary domain be assigned to a subdirectory - this will help to get around that.

	# replace <domainname> with your domain name
	# replace <directoryname> with the name of the directory where WordPress is located

	<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine on
	RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?<domainname>.com$
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/<directoryname>/
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /<directoryname>/$1
