=============

[](#wordpress-fns)

A collection of functions to help with WordPress theme & plugin development.

Install
=======

[](#install)

Install from Composer:

```
composer require ed-itsolutions/wordpress-fns
```

Then add `require('vendor/autoload.php');` to the top of your `functions.php`.

Functions
=========

--------------------------------------------------------------------

[](#wordpress_fns_as_filterfunctionname-priority--10-args--1)

Adds the named function `$functionName` as a filter with the same name.

wordpress\_fns\_featured\_image\_at\_size($postId, $imageSize)
--------------------------------------------------------------

[](#wordpress_fns_featured_image_at_sizepostid-imagesize)

wordpress\_fns\_format\_as\_date($date)
---------------------------------------

[](#wordpress_fns_format_as_datedate)

Returns the given date using the WordPress sites date formatting.

`$date` can either be a timestamp or anything that [strtotime](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php) can handle.

wordpress\_fns\_get\_attachment\_id\_from\_url($url)
----------------------------------------------------

[](#wordpress_fns_get_attachment_id_from_urlurl)

Returns the id of the attachment from the url. Extremely useful when working with meta boxes etc... that store an images URL instead of its attachment id.

wordpress\_fns\_get\_page\_sub\_menu\_items($pageId, $menuName)
---------------------------------------------------------------

[](#wordpress_fns_get_page_sub_menu_itemspageid-menuname)

Returns an array of menu items that are the direct desendants of the supplied page `$pageId` on the menu `$menuName`.

Returns an empty array if it couldn't find the menu item for the supplied page.

wordpress\_fns\_header\_or\_featured\_image($imageSize, $postId = 0)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

[](#wordpress_fns_header_or_featured_imageimagesize-postid--0)

If the page has a featured image that image at the given size `$imageSize` will be returned, otherwise it returns the header image set in the customizer.

Supplying `$postId` will return the given posts image.

Contributing
============

[](#contributing)

We welcome PRs to this project. If you have a function or improvement feel free to add them.

We ask that:

- All functions be prefixed with `wordpress_fns_`.
- All functions return `false` instead of throwing an error or null.
- Don't add actions or filters, if users want to use a function as a filter they can do it themselves.
