Two different JetPack blogs.
And… go.
Set Twitter language for WordPress oEmbeds
The oEmbed tweets on my hosted blog have been coming up in Chinese for the last few months, and I’ve been unable to resolve the situation with my web host. Add this to your theme’s functions.php if you are having the same issue; it will check the WP_LANG setting in wp-config.php and update the request to Twitter accordingly.
The filter that allows this functionality was added in WordPress 3.5.
Display tweets from Ozh’ Tweet Archiver using oEmbed
I use Ozh’ Tweet Archiver to keep a local copy of my tweets, but I wanted to use the new Twitter oEmbed output to easily format my tweets as tweets, rather than just a status.
Add custom post types to the Loop
I’ve been circling this drain for years trying to make things just right.
Add post format to FeedWordPress syndicated posts
This could be handy if you are importing blog posts from Tumblr, links from Delicious, and tweets from Twitter.
Remove posts with category (or categories) from BuddyPress Activity Stream
This was tricky and took me several attempts to figure out how to gracefully remove posts in a specified category from the public BuddyPress Activity Stream. Proposed solutions took the approach of stopping the activity from being added to the table; however, this raised issues when an existing post was updated and put in the excluded category, and also when an excluded post was updated to no longer be in the excluded category. Additionally, these posts were not included in the author’s individual Activity Stream, which led to further confusion.
I had to move bp_blogs_record_post from save_post to wp_insert_post to allow _save_post_hook to clean the post cache prior to running in_category().
Add BuddyPress user notices Widget
I figured this was more useful as a plugin than as a gist. BuddyPress Sitewide Notice Widget is available from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
Remove curly quotes on save
Curly quotes are a particular nuisance, especially in incoming posts. This function removes them before the post (or comment) is inserted in the database. If an older post containing curly quotes is edited, it will save with straight quotes upon database insert.
Add human-readable classes to wp_nav_menu()
In the default state, wp_nav_menu() classes for li elements are useful as CSS and JS selectors, but are not human-friendly. I prefer to use selectors like .menu-item-archives instead of .menu-item-38008. This function creates a human-readable class on the li elements generated by wp_nav_menu().
