Issue with register_post_type with custom capability type(s)

I have a plugin for a site that creates multiple custom post types (CPT). Each with their own custom capability specified via the capability_type attribute of the register_post_type() function. I copy-and-pasted the code block for each register_post_type() from the first one, which includes the capability_type as an array, ie. array('type' , 'types'). Some of the subsequent CPT didn’t need multiple capability types so I was receiving the warning ‘Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in post.php’ due to a single item in the array. The fix was to remove the array wrapping the single value, et voila, no more warning.

Disable New User Notification Emails in WordPress

I use this when doing bulk imports of users in dev environments.

add_filter( 'wp_new_user_notification_email', '__return_false', 10, 3 );

Add that to functions.php and you’re set. Users will not be notified.

Delete post revisions in WordPress with wp-cli

Easily remove revisions using wp-cli. First, get a list of revisions with:

$ wp post list --post_type='revision' --format=ids

This command will provide a list of revisions by post ID.

To remove those revisions, use to following command:

$ wp post delete $(wp post list --post_type='revision' --format=ids) --force

This command will provide feedback to stdout as Success: Deleted post XXX. Where XXX is the post ID of the deleted post. The --force flag may not be necessary, but was in my case since the command failed with the warning: Warning: Posts of type 'revision' do not support being sent to trash.

Change WordPress user ID

This is usually needed in order to secure the default admin user which has a user_id of 1.

Run these two mysql queries via your favorite interface.

UPDATE wp_users SET ID = 666 WHERE ID = 1;

then…

UPDATE wp_usermeta SET user_id = 666 WHERE user_id = 1;

Please note: you can use any number you want for the user_id as long as it doesn’t correspond to that of an existing user. I just chose the most metal user_id for this example. 🤘.

Marc is 100% awesome

It’s on the internet, so it’s a thing.

Sorry, this is only here to illustrate a point. Just because something is on the internet doesn’t necessarily make it true, except for this case, in which it’s 100% true.
