The document discusses custom fields in WordPress. It explains that custom fields are saved in the wp_postmeta table and can be retrieved and displayed using functions like get_post_meta(). It cautions that output should be escaped to prevent scripts from executing. While get_post_meta() checks the cache, calling it multiple times can result in additional database queries. The document also discusses using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin and optimizing queries on custom field values.

A wise hacker said: Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems.
Regular expressions are a powerful tool in our hands and a first class citizen in ruby so it is tempting to overuse them. But knowing them and using them properly is a fundamental asset of every developer.
We’ll see hands-on examples of proper Reg Exps usage in ruby code, we’ll also look at bad and ugly cases and learn how to approach writing, testing and debugging regular expressions.
The objective of this tutorial is to demonstrate the implementation of Mule caching strategy with REDIS cache using Spring Data Redis module. Mule caching strategy is associated with Mule Cache scope and it is used to define the actions a cache scope takes when a message enters its subflow. In this tutorial, we will be using a simple use case to show the steps require to cache the query results of an Oracle database table into Redis cache using Spring Data Redis module.

10 Excellent Ways to Secure Spring Boot Applications - Okta Webinar 2020Matt Raible
Spring Boot is an efficient way to build Java applications with the Spring Framework. If you’re developing apps that handle sensitive data, you should make sure they’re secure.
This session will cover HTTPS, dependency checking, CSRF, using a CSP to prevent XSS, OIDC, password hashing, and much more!
You’ll learn how to add these features to a real application, using the Java language you know and love.
* Blog post: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/07/30/10-ways-to-secure-spring-boot
* Cheat sheet: https://snyk.io/blog/spring-boot-security-best-practices/
* OIDC demo: http://bit.ly/spring-oidc-demo
WordPress Plugins are very elaborate and would require significant programming expertise to develop.
In this session details are shared on Files/Folder Structure, Naming Conventions/ Coding Practices,Improving Form,Database Interaction,Loading CSS, JavaScript, Image Files and Making Proper Ajax Calls etc.
PHP remains the most popular server-side language on the Web and the most favoured language for Web attacks. The security vulnerabilities and attack techniques become more sophisticated though. For example, the vulnerability types PHP Object Instantiation and Phar Deserialization are comparatively unknown to traditional types like XSS and SQLi. In this technical talk, we look at a couple of critical security bugs found in popular open source PHP applications, such as WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopware. We will focus on fundamental design flaws and new state-of-the-art exploitation techniques that are used by attackers to compromise web servers through these issues which can occur in any other application as well.

4. How to display metadata on a page?
get_post_meta()
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/
<p>Release date:
<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'release_date', true ); ?>
</p>
5. But what will happen if somebody adds a malicious script?
6. We need to escape before we echo
esc_html(), esc_attr(), esc_url(), esc_js()
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/theme-security/data-sanitization-escaping/
<p>Release date:
<?php echo esc_html(get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘release_date', true )); ?>
</p>
8. If we have a lot of metadata and we
call get_post_meta() function many
times on a page, does it mean we are
querying the database every time to
fetch the meta from the database?
9. WP Query
https://wordpress.tv/2014/11/15/helen-hou-sandi-so-you-know-wp_query-now-what/
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND
(post_status = 'publish' OR post_status = 'private') ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10
SELECT FOUND_ROWS()
SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE ID IN (5,1)
SELECT t.*, tt.*, tr.object_id FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt
ON t.term_id = tt.term_id INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships AS tr ON tr.term_taxonomy_id =
tt.term_taxonomy_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN ('category', 'post_tag', 'post_format') AND tr.object_id IN
(1, 5) ORDER BY t.name ASC
SELECT post_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id
IN (1,5) ORDER BY meta_id ASC

11. get_post_meta() first checks for
meta in the cache. If it’s there, it
would retrieve it from cache.
If it’s not in cache, it sends a SQL
query to the database to fetch all
meta for given posts, updates cache
and then grabs the meta from cache.
12. We can turn off the meatadata query from WP Query
$args = array(
'update_post_meta_cache' => false
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
14. How to display metadata added by ACF?
the_field(), get_field()
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/the_field/
<p>Release date:
<?php the_field( 'release_date' ); ?>
</p>
15. And what will happen if somebody adds a malicious script?
16. We should escape just like with get_post_meta()
esc_html(), esc_attr(), esc_url(), esc_js()
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/theme-security/data-sanitization-escaping/
<p>Release date:
<?php echo esc_html( get_field( 'release_date' ) ); ?>
</p>
17. There is one more thing about the_field() i get_field()
Every time either of these functions is called, one extra SQL
query is being sent to the database.
Example:
SELECT post_id, meta_value
FROM wp_postmeta
WHERE meta_key = 'field_59ce9900201d9'
18. If we have 10 custom fields and we
call the_field() or get_field() function
10 times, we are sending 10
additional SQL queries to the
database.
19. So let’s improve it a little bit :)
just by changing the_field() to get_post_meta()
Before:
<p>Release date:
<?php echo esc_html( get_field( 'release_date' ) ); ?>
</p>
After:
<p>Release date:
<?php echo esc_html( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'release_date', true ) ); ?>
</p>
20. Can we filter the posts by metadata?
WP Query - Custom Field Parameters
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
Let’s say we want to display all reviews of movies directed by Woody Allen:
$args = array(
'meta_key' => 'directed_by',
'meta_value' => 'Woody Allen'
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
21. It is possible to query posts by
metadata. So why WordPress VIP
team considers avoiding querying
for meta_value in WP Query as a
good practice?
https://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/querying-on-meta_value/
24. We could construct WP Query in a 3 different ways
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
1. //here we just query by meta_value which is not indexed
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_value' => 'Woody Allen’ ) );
2. //here we query both by meta_key and meta_value, mysql can now use an index on
meta_key column
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => 'directed_by',
'meta_value' => 'Woody Allen’ ) );
3. //here we changed the way we use meta_keys which now hold an information about
the value, and we query only on meta_keys omitting meta_values completely
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => 'directed_by_woody_allen’ ) );
25. I’ve tested it on 15000 posts, each with 15 custom fields,
which sums up to over 200000 rows in wp_postmeta table
1. //1.53 s
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_value' => 'Woody Allen’ ) );
2. //0.94 s
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => 'directed_by',
'meta_value' => 'Woody Allen’ ) );
3. //0.21 s
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => 'directed_by_woody_allen’ ) );
All 3 of them return the same results, but which one is the fastest?
