Bootstrap navbar dropdown on hover fix (WP)

If you use bootstrap (bs) & wordpress (wp) for your website, you might use wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php to fix the navbar. But this library doest not let you make your navbar dropdown menu to show automatically on mouse hover. You need to click the menu item to show it. To fix this, do open wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php and look for below code:

if ( $args->has_children && $depth === 0 ) { $atts['href'] = '#'; $atts['data-toggle'] = 'dropdown'; $atts['class'] = 'dropdown-toggle'; } else { $atts['href'] = ! empty( $item->url ) ? $item->url : ''; }

replace or edit the code as below:

// If item has_children add atts to a. if ( $args->has_children && $depth === 0 ) { $atts['href'] = ! empty( $item->url ) ? $item->url : ''; //$atts['data-toggle'] = 'dropdown'; $atts['class'] = 'dropdown-toggle'; } else { $atts['href'] = ! empty( $item->url ) ? $item->url : ''; }

then edit your style.css to make the dropdown automatic show on hover:

.dropdown:hover .dropdown-menu { display: block; }

in some case, you won't need to add this css. You just need to change the $atts['data-toggle'] to $atts['data-hover']. But I find this is not working for me.

Wordpress Theme Development Tip#1

hi, From now on, I will start sharing tips on wp theme development. Add below code in your theme function.php

Remove some menu from admin menu in backend dashboard

function remove_admin_menu_items() { $remove_menu_items = [ __('Plugins'), __('Comments'), __('Posts'), __('Pages'), __('Tools'), __('Appearance') ]; global $menu; end ($menu); while (prev($menu)){ $item = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]); if(in_array($item[0] != NULL?$item[0]:"" , $remove_menu_items)){ unset($menu[key($menu)]);} } add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_admin_menu_items');

This code contain array of menu item that will remove Plugins, Comments, Posts, Pages, Tools & Appearance menu from the dashboard. This is good if you want to restrict the access from client.

Remove plugin menu item from admin backend dashboard

function wpeditor17_remove_plugin_admin_menu() { remove_menu_page('wpeditor_admin'); } add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wpeditor17_remove_plugin_admin_menu', 9999 );

This function are the same as above but specifically wrote for plugin's menu.

Add certain page in admin dashboard

function add_home_menu_page(){ add_menu_page( 'Home PAge', 'Home Page', 'edit_posts', 'post.php?post=5&action=edit', '', 'dashicons-admin-home', 6 ); } add_action( 'admin_menu', 'add_home_menu_page' );

This code will add a page named 'Home' to the backend dashboard menu.

Hide editor from specific page.

add_action( 'admin_init', 'hide_editor' ); function hide_editor() { // Get the Post ID. $post_id = $_GET['post'] ? $_GET['post'] : $_POST['post_ID'] ; if( !isset( $post_id ) ) return; // Hide the editor on the page titled 'Homepage' $homepgname = get_the_title($post_id); if($homepgname == 'Homepage'){ remove_post_type_support('page', 'editor'); } // Hide the editor on a page with a specific page template // Get the name of the Page Template file. $template_file = get_post_meta($post_id, '_wp_page_template', true); if($template_file == 'page-home.php'){ // the filename of the page template remove_post_type_support('page', 'editor'); } }

Download HTML Website using wget

Hi, Today I would like to repost a tutorial of downloading a whole html website using the powerful tools; wget. This tool is available for unix base os such as linux and macOS. Do install it first before running the command.

$ wget --recursive --no-clobber --page-requisites --html-extension --convert-links --restrict-file-names=windows --domains website.org --no-parent www.website.org/tutorials/html/

As I tested today, most of the website are successful downloaded. But there are some are not. Maybe the administrator set a htaccess to block this method.

How to redirect your non-www to www website.

The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.
