Converting Windows line endings to UNIX
Especially in the case of writing shell scripts. It’s imperative to move from CRLF (Win) to LF (*nix) so they will run.
Try this:
$ dos2unix FILE_NAME.EXT
if that doesn’t work, then try this.
$ sed -i 's/\r$//' FILE_NAME.EXT
Also, make sure you’ve set the permission bits so they can execute.
$ chmod 770 FILE_NAME.EXTPublished on September 3, 2024
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.

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. 🤘.
