A MCO2, além de configurar e instalar o WordPress na versão mais atual para seus clientes, oferece o plugin WP SafePress, um mecanismo exclusivo que assegura e aumenta a performance do seu site simultaneamente.

Por que a Hospedagem WordPress funciona melhor na MCO2?

A Hospedagem WordPress funciona melhor pois a MCO2 possui servidores otimizados para WordPress. A instalação de WordPress é diferente de uma instalação trivial, pois habilita imediatamente recursos como otimização de imagens, proteção da página de login, bloqueio de atividades maliciosas diretamente no firewall, cache avançado e HTTPS ativado por padrão. São recursos que potencializam seu WordPress para a máxima segurança e o máximo desempenho.

This plugin lets you build a fully configurable dropdown field whose options act as links: when a visitor picks one, they are redirected to the matching URL. It was originally built for multisite networks to make navigation between subsites faster, but it now supports custom links as dropdown options too.

Ways to populate the dropdown

• Manual list – define each option yourself: enter a name and the URL the visitor is redirected to when they choose it.
• All network sites – automatically list every site in your WordPress Multisite Network as an option.
• The user’s sites only – list only the network sites where the current logged-in user is registered.

What you can customize

• Label – set a label for the dropdown, or leave it empty for no label.
• Placeholder – the first, non-clickable option (for example “Select branch”, “Select country”, “Choose side”).
• Sorting – order your manual list alphabetically, or reverse it so your most recent entries appear first.
• Behaviour – send the visitor to the selected URL, or treat the URLs as images and load the chosen one into the [dms_target] container on the same page, without leaving it.

Once your settings are saved, display the dropdown with the [dms] shortcode or the bundled widget.

Shortcodes

[dms] – Renders the dropdown exactly as configured on the admin settings page.

[dms_manual name=”” placeholder=”” target=”” options=””] – Renders a standalone dropdown that is independent of your saved settings. Accepts these attributes:

• name – the dropdown label (leave empty for no label).
• placeholder – the first option shown in the menu (for example “– Select –“).
• target – “default” to open links in the same tab, or “blank” to open them in a new tab.
• options – comma-separated URL/name pairs in the form “url1|name1, url2|name2, url3|name3”. The order within each pair is detected automatically, so “name|url” works too. Option names cannot contain a comma or a vertical bar, as both are used to separate the values.

Example:

[dms_manual name="Label" placeholder="--Select--" target="blank" options="https://duckduckgo.com|Trusted search engine, https://google.bg|Tracking search engine"]

[dms_target] – Marks the spot where the selected image is loaded. Place it anywhere on the same page as [dms] and set the behaviour to “Open in target section” on the settings page: choosing an option then swaps the image in this container instead of redirecting the visitor. If the behaviour is set to images but this shortcode is missing from the page, the dropdown shows a warning. Developers can also replace the container markup through the dms_target_filter filter.

Need extra functionality? Open an issue on GitHub or ask in the support forum, and I’ll see whether it can be added. Thanks to everyone who has shared ideas for improving this plugin.

Filters

Here are the filters you can use to modify the plugin’s output:

• dms_sites_arguments – control the attributes passed to get_sites() when the “Show all sites in the WordPress Multisite Network” option is selected.
• dms_multisite_pairs – filter the results returned from get_sites().
• dms_users_sites – control the sites when the “Show only the sites where the user is registered” option is selected.
• dms_target_filter – replace the markup returned by the [dms_target] shortcode.
