Dodd http://uncommoncontent.com/?p=8723 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.

Dodd http://uncommoncontent.com/?p=8673 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.

Dodd http://uncommoncontent.com/?p=8529 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().

Dodd http://uncommoncontent.com/?p=8526 I figured this was more useful as a plugin than as a gist. BuddyPress Sitewide Notice Widget is available from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Dodd http://uncommoncontent.com/?p=35 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.

Dodd http://uncommoncontent.com/?p=21 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().
