Background I'm developing a plugin for WordPress. I initially used file_get_contents() for two purposes: A remote file (which I changed to wp_remote_post()) A local file in the plugin dir (what this question is about) WordPress staff told me to NOT use file_get_contents() for remote _POST requests (usage 1. above), but to use wp_remost_post() instead. From their email concerning usage 1. (above): Using file_get_contents on remote files Many hosts block the use of file_get_contents on remote content. This is a security …

I'm trying to use unzip_file to extract the remote archive with no success. It works only with the local path using get_template_directory() but with a remote zip archive URL I'm getting Incompatible Archive. message. Here is the stripped version of my code: WP_Filesystem(); global $wp_filesystem; $source = 'http://downloads.wordpress.org/theme/ona-creative.1.0.0.zip'; $unzipfile = unzip_file( $source, get_theme_root() ); if ( is_wp_error( $unzipfile ) ) { wp_send_json( array( 'done' => 1, 'message' => esc_html__( $unzipfile->get_error_message() . ' There was an error unzipping the file.', 'ona' …

I am trying to check if a certain archive file template exists in the WP theme directory. This is my code, I am not sure what I am missing here. <?php $file_name = '/archive.php'; $base_template_dir = get_template_directory_uri(); $file_uri = $base_template_dir.$file_name; $file_uri = str_replace('http://', '', $file_uri); $file_uri = str_replace('https://', '', $file_uri); $file_uri = str_replace($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], '', $file_uri); if (file_exists($file_uri)) { echo 'File Found: '.$file_uri; } else { echo 'File Not Found: '.$file_uri; } ?>

I am trying to get data from JSON file in Wordpress template using file_get_contents But can not get the file $data = file_get_contents("../assets/data2.json"); $arr = json_decode($data, true); Facing this error while var_dump $data object(WP_Error)#825 (2) { ["errors"]=> array(1) { ["http_request_failed"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(29) "A valid URL was not provided." } } ["error_data"]=> array(0) { } } My data2.json file is in the assets folder and trying from templates folder in theme folder in wordpress.

I am using put_contents() function to put images on the server, works fine on localhost, though on server, the user group when the file are downloaded to server is "nginx nobody" and that is causing the images to return 404 error and not to be viewed, how can I make the file be downloaded with the default WordPress owner/group global $wp_filesystem; // Initialize the WP filesystem. if (empty($wp_filesystem)) { require_once (ABSPATH . '/wp-admin/includes/file.php'); WP_Filesystem(); } $wp_filesystem->put_contents($save_file_to, $file_to_save, 0644)

I have a problem uploading files to my main webpress site (e.g. www.main.com) and all the other pages that live in it (e.g. www.main.com/anotherpage). I know there is a method to set a temp folder like define( 'WP_TEMP_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-content/temp/' ); but I have already put this line in the wp-config.php file but I did have any success. Also I have already changed all permissions to the folders using (maybe is better to use 775, but I wanted to …

I'm developing some plugins to an website, but I don't want the users to see the code (or download it). If the user install the plugin WP File Manager, all files in the host will be revealed to him. Plugins are an essencial part in the WP ecossystem and I don't want to remove the ability of the users to install. I just don't want the users to access the core files. I tried this approach: Change the file owner, …

I am attempting to trigger a form submit from an input [type=file] dialog box window. I realize this might be a bit substandard, but here's what I'm trying to do. User clicks the browse button, and input[type=file] dialog window is invoked letting the user select a file. After the user selects file and when the open button is pressed in the same window, the file dialog box (in addition to whatever else it does), submits the specified form (jQuery perhaps?) …

I have been trying to use the unzip_file() function. It says undefined so I looked into it and the WP_Filesystem() must be called and set up. So easy, right? require_once(ABSPATH .'/wp-admin/includes/file.php'); WP_Filesystem(); unzip_file( $zip, $dest ); Even this shows as undefined, and I don't see any documentation on it. I am trying to use the unzip feature to unpack a separate plugin during theme install.

I've used a bit of code to try and write a dynamic.css file to a theme folder and it works fine. BUT, it doesn't work on certain shared hosting situations so the request_filesystem_credentials() function is invoked. This produces a really ugly ftp form with no connect/submit button. I then followed the great Otto's tutorial on this to try and use a decent form instead but the end result is a nice looking form that gives the error "Error saving file!" …

This is a concept of my goal I want to be able to create files in the current opened directory by entering the complete file name and and extension in a text field, click create and use the AJAX process to run the file_put_contents() method. I haven't tried any coding methods as I do not even have a starting point. After 18 hours of research, I have only found methods using add_theme_page() to add a page where all the custom …

When I attempt to use the unzip_file function below in my functions.php: require_once(ABSPATH .

We have about 2000 files in our media library and we are working on an audit to organize the files and create a name hierarchy. But until that is done, I am trying to locate a handful of specific files to replace. I don't know what the files are named in Wordpress, I only have the URL to download the file. Is there a way to search for the file in the dashboard using the URL?

I am developing a podcast theme where i have a form that allows the user to upload their podcast cover arts. The Podcast cover art’s dimension should fall under 1400×1400 and 3000×3000 since we are following iTune’s regulations. Since such big files will impact the page load speed of the site i wanna resize the uploaded image to a smaller size, say 250×250 so that we can use that to display on our web pages. I have used WP_Image_Editor::resize function …

I'm building a Wordpress theme which has a WP_Filesystem call in it: <?php $wp_filesystem = new WP_Filesystem_Direct(null); echo $wp_filesystem->get_contents(get_stylesheet_directory() . '/assets/images/Search_Glyph.svg'); ?> I know that the WP_Filesystem needs some dependencies. I load them now like this in functions.php: require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-base.php'; require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php'; I don't know if this is the correct way to load the dependencies for the filesystem. I found an other question for plugin development and after some research I made the following code, which …
