Step-by-Step Guide to Add Private Documents Listing in Child Theme

• In your WordPress installation, navigate to wp-content/themes.

• Create a new folder named hueman-child.

• Inside hueman-child, create a file named style.css.

• Add the following content to style.css:

/*
Theme Name: Hueman Child
Template: hueman
*/

• Inside hueman-child, create a file named functions.php.

• Add the following content to functions.php:

<?php
// Enqueue parent theme styles
function hueman_child_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style('hueman-parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'hueman_child_enqueue_styles');

• Go to Appearance > Themes in your WordPress dashboard.

• Activate the Hueman Child theme.

• Edit the functions.php file in your hueman-child theme.

• Add the following code to create a shortcode for listing private documents by category:

<?php
// Enqueue parent theme styles
function hueman_child_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style('hueman-parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'hueman_child_enqueue_styles');

// Shortcode to list private documents by category
function list_private_documents_by_category() {
    // Query private documents
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'post', // Change to 'documents' if using a custom post type
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'post_status' => 'private',
        'orderby' => 'category',
        'order' => 'ASC'
    );

    $query = new WP_Query($args);

    if ($query->have_posts()) {
        $output = '<ul>';
        while ($query->have_posts()) {
            $query->the_post();
            $categories = get_the_category();
            if (!empty($categories)) {
                foreach ($categories as $category) {
                    $output .= '<li><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a> (' . esc_html($category->name) . ')</li>';
                }
            }
        }
        $output .= '</ul>';
        wp_reset_postdata();
    } else {
        $output = 'No private documents found.';
    }
    return $output;
}
add_shortcode('private_documents', 'list_private_documents_by_category');
