# Basic Snippets not running

 * I have been trying to utilize a refresh snippet
 * `header("Refresh: 5");`
 * Which I believe should auto refresh the website every 5 seconds. But this is 
   not working
 * I have also been trying this:
 *     ```
       if (!function_exists('wfu_before_file_upload_handler')) {
           function wfu_before_file_upload_handler($file_path, $file_unique_id) {
             $_SESSION['wfu_tempfiles'][$file_unique_id] = $file_path;
             return $file_path;
       	 // $message="TEST MESSAGE nymets1104";
       	 // wfu_debug_log($message);
         }
         add_filter('wfu_before_file_upload', 'wfu_before_file_upload_handler', 10, 2);
       }
       if (!function_exists('wfu_after_file_upload_handler')) {
         function wfu_after_file_upload_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) {
           if ($additional_data['upload_result'] == 'success' && isset($_SESSION['wfu_tempfiles'][$file_unique_id]) && $_SESSION['wfu_tempfiles'][$file_unique_id] != '') {
       	  $file_contents = file_get_contents($_SESSION['wfu_tempfiles'][$file_unique_id]);
       	  $changable_data['js_script'] = 'window.location.reload();';
       	}
       	return $changable_data;
         }
         add_filter('wfu_after_file_upload', 'wfu_after_file_upload_handler', 10, 2);
       }
       ```
   
 * Which is a script that runs when my Upload Plugin succesfully uploads a file.
   This utilizes a javascript call inside the php to refresh the page, but this 
   does not seem to get called either.
 * Do you have any suggestions for me or am I doing something incorrectly?

 * Have you tried something like this (PHP 5.3+):
 *     ```
       add_action( 'wp_head', function () {
           echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5">';
       }, 0 );
       ```

 * I tried your code and still get nothing. I checked the source of my page and 
   this meta tag is not on any webpage. I am running PHP 5.3 on a Fatcow Shared 
   Hosting platform. I was able to get a Code Snippet to work on the back end:
 *     ```
       // replace WordPress Howdy in WordPress 3.3
       function replace_howdy( $wp_admin_bar ) {
           $my_account=$wp_admin_bar->get_node('my-account');
           $newtitle = str_replace( 'Howdy,', 'Welcome to OYC,', $my_account->title );
           $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
               'id' => 'my-account',
               'title' => $newtitle,
           ) );
       }
       add_filter( 'admin_bar_menu', 'replace_howdy',25 );
       ```
   
 * as well as this snippet that allows shortcodes in widgets:
 *     ```
       add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
       ```
   
 * Are there certain codes that are not supported or should it be all valid PHP 
   scripts?

 * All valid PHP scripts should be supported. It’s strange that these snippets aren’t
   working, because I could get both the snippet I posted as well as `header("Refresh:
   5");` working on my development site. Maybe another plugin or the theme is interfering
   in some way?

 * Shea, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I got this all sorted out and
   I found that it had nothing to do with your plugin. I ended up migrating my site
   to a host with a much more robust support of PHP. I am currently running several
   valid PHP snippets with your plugin.
 * Thanks for your work and response!

 * Your new host sounds great. Hopefully it’s running a recent version of PHP! Glad
   you could get the issue sorted.
