While developing WordPress site most of the time we use different plugin for the better support of the site.And some times we as a developer make some customization in the default plugin files for our required functionality.

The plugin files are always get updated from its developer and the updates for newer version are notified to us by the wordpress. Suppose we have make some customization in code in the original plugin’s file then that changes will be removed if we update the plugin file to newer version.So to solve this problem we have to stop the automatic update option of the plugin or update notification of the plugin.

To do this we can have two Methods.
That are,

Method 1:

just add below code to the function.php file of your current theme ,

# 3.0:
remove_action( 'load-update-core.php', 'wp_update_plugins' );
add_filter( 'pre_site_transient_update_plugins', create_function( '$a', "return null;" ) );

if you are using wordpress 3.0 or higher version.

Arpi

PHP & PHP Framworks, Tips, Tips, wordpress Tags

In the core php, we need to write at-least 10 to 15 lines, sometimes more than that for the database connection and insert update or delete operations on the database..

But in the wordpress we just need a single line for the opration and no need to connect to database. Because this steps are done at the installation only.

INSERT QUERY :

$wpdb->insert( $table, $data, $format );

table (string):

The name of the table.

data (array):

Data to insert in column => value pairs.

format (array|string) : (optional)

An array of formats to be mapped to each of the value in $data. If string, that format will be used for all of the values in $data. If omitted, all values in $data will be treated as strings unless otherwise specified in wpdb::$field_types.
