Here’s a guide to debug if you have bug on your WordPress website:
Today, this site finally reaches a new milestone, 500+ page views/day. Even though it’s very low, I decided to add ads in this blog.
This blog uses full content in archive, and I’m breaking long content using manual “read more tag” (not using excerpt).
Note: You can add more tag using the editor toolbar or using <!--more--> in text editor.
I want to add the Ads in all blog post after read more tag, so technically when visitor click the read more, they will see ads on the top of the page.
It’s tricky because when we use the_content filter, WordPress already transform <!--more--> tag into HTML tag, something like <span id="more-1325"></span>. Here’s the code:
When I write f(x) Photo Tag plugin, I think it’s best to put the menu under “Media” because it’s simpler, and also make sense.

Previous Code:
global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo();
New Code (WP 4.5):
if( function_exists( 'wp_get_current_user' ) ){
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
}
else{
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
}

For example: There’s no easy way to exclude custom theme for update check. WordPress have filters for everything, but they don’t have this filterable. Maybe they want to monopolize theme market (maybe they are trying to say: you want to create theme? you need to use wp.org theme repository).
