Privacy Policy

Add Privacy Policy Checkbox in Registration Form

By default, the user registration for WordPress is off. Once you enable it, you’ll find it doesn’t let you gather much information from users when they first register on your site. It has basic fields, including Username or Email Address and Password. 

Custom fields empower you to get extra information from your users, such as an address or phone number, or ask them to accept your Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, etc.

Important: The WordPress Checkboxes or checkboxes at any website are legal, as clicking on a checkbox is urging a signature on a written contract.

Here we’ll explain how to add the custom field “Privacy Policy” in the WordPress registration form with custom coding. So, make sure you read this article till the end.

Let’s get started!

If not, simply go to the left sidebar of the admin dashboard, navigate to Settings, and click the General option.

The General Settings screen will open up. Scroll down a bit, and tick mark the Membership checkbox.

Diving in Google Drive APIs – List Files and Folders

Today, We are going to actually start playing with Google Drive APIs. Previous parts were base for implementation of web apps with Google APIs. In this part 3, We will use Google Drive functions and list files ,folders and display them at page.

I assume you have already gone through Authentication and Installation process. I have shared my code at github where we are actually moving in a direction to build a simple web app where we will list our Google Drive files and perform operations etc.

Following is a simple function that fetches latest 100 files from user’s Google account and show it on page. We are displaying their file titles and also their icons which represents their file types as well. For example it can be spreadsheet, image or a folder.

If you see my complete web app files, you will see I have managed Authentication and other things in a way that these are VERY easy to understand and follow. In any case, you don’t understand or have a better idea to achieve the same thing I did, shout below in comments 😉

How to integrate a WordPress blog in your existing website

How To Integrate A WordPress Blog In Your Existing Website?

WordPress is amazing in its nature. You can convert it into anything and integrate it with any PHP website. You can even set the degree of integration. You may only need a few WordPress features when integrating it with your website. For example, you want to display the recent blog posts on your website’s homepage. Your website is in PHP, and a WordPress blog is installed in another folder. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to achieve this awesomeness by integrating a WordPress blog into your existing website.

Before starting with the steps to educate yourself on the integration of WordPress Blog in your website, one must know what this web publishing software basically does. And why do you really need to make a WordPress blog after all? So the answer is, why not? As the WordPress blog manages the website content beautifully.  To use this, you don’t need to be a developer or coder. However, for WordPress, there are plenty of auto-installer web hosts that are just one step away and run this easy platform.

So let’s review the suggested steps to integrate a WordPress blog into your existing website and create a beautiful WordPress blog page!

Step1

Let’s assume you already have a site running at http://www.yourwebsite.com/ and you want to start a blog for your Product.

Step2

Create a new subdirectory (folder) at your site and call it ‘blog‘. So you now have an empty sub-directory at http://www.yourwebsite.com/blog/.

Step3

Now, download the WordPress framework and upload all of its files into http://www.yourwebsite.com/blog/ and install WordPress on it. If you don’t know how to install WordPress, please read this tutorial.

So, at this point, you have installed WordPress in the blog directory and want to show the recent blog posts on your website’s homepage.

Step4

You need to add the following code snippet at the start of the home page in which you want to utilize WordPress functions.

<?php 
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('blog/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

Step5

Then the next important thing is the ‘WordPress loop’. If you’re unfamiliar with the ‘WordPress loop,‘ please read this here.

Put the following code anywhere on your homepage where you want to display the latest posts.

<?php

$number_of_posts = 5;
$args = array( 'numberposts' => $number_of_posts );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent_post ){
echo "<span>".$recent_post['post_date']."</span> <br>";
echo "<h3>".$recent_post['post_title']."</h3>";
echo  "<p>".$recent_post['post_content']."</p><br><br>";

}

?>

Pretty simple, isn’t it? This way, you can utilize all the functionality of ‘WordPress’, but you should have a basic understanding of how things are done in ‘WordPress’.

Thanks, Good luck!
