Start scheduled task with WP Cron more often

Vladimir — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 10:26:03 +0000

You can schedule your task for execution Once, Hourly, Twice a day, Daily. WordPress has public API for that. But what to do if you need to execute your task more often, than default schedule intervals offered by WordPress? Can you manage WordPress scheduler to start you job every 5 minute instead of 'hourly', 'twicedaily' and 'daily' intervals?

WordPress shows unpublished pages

I got questions from WordPress users how to change page status from 'published' to 'pending for review' automatically in case its author changed it. Its possible with little piece of code in your theme functions.php file and the same little user capabilities manipulation. You can look how it works on the video by this link or scrolling to the end of this post. So it seems, that problem is resolved. No. WordPress 2011 theme (and possibly others) is written such way, that page (with all changed content) is shown in any status, including 'draft'. You just should know its link. Make little experiment. Create new page and save its draft. Then type in the browser URL to this page. Do you see it? Yes, me too.

moderate_comments WordPress user capability

Vladimir — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 03:25:14 +0000

Oficial WordPress Codex page says that "moderate_comments" WordPress user capability "allows users to moderate comments from the Comments SubPanel (although a user needs the edit_posts Capability in order to access this)".

What I can say? Do not trust your own eyes. It is not the full true. Only last part of this declaration (about "edit_posts" capability) works as described in relation to the Comments subpanel. Are you not sure? Check it yourself. Take "User Role Editor" WordPress plugin, select the "Editor" role and uncheck "moderate_comments" capability. Then login to WordPress under the user with "Editor" role and go to the "Comments" panel. Do you still see links "unaprove, edit, spam, trash" under the comments there? Thus, you still may moderate comments inspite of you have not "moderate_comments" capability. So, the next question - what is the real power of "moderate_comments" WordPress user capability?
