Title: Unable to use the PHP function Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Unable to use the PHP function * [NemoViz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nemoviz/) * (@nemoviz) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-use-the-php-function/) * Hi! This is a plugin I was looking for since I started on WordPress. Excellent job! However, considering I’m the totally newbie to all this stuff I’m helpless in adding it as an PHP function to the header of my site. I’m using ‘TwentyFourteen’ and I’d really appreciated some detailed instruction how to add the required lines in the ‘header.php’ file, I’m really a blonde for that matter xD. Thank you in advance! P.S. As a feature suggestion it would be great to have a font size changer next to the existing functions. It’s doable through a CSS file but you could end up with 25 different choices (5 color styles x 5 font sizes). Separate function would be really nice. Take care and keep up the good work. If it helps, the site URL I’m testing this is: [http://vijesti.nemoviz.org](http://vijesti.nemoviz.org)( it’s a subdomain on my public site) but as I said, it’s plain and simple ‘TwentyFourteen’ theme. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-stylesheet-switcher/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-stylesheet-switcher/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [vgstef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vgstef/) * (@vgstef) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-use-the-php-function/#post-5199566) * Have you tried the example in the installation page? * ``` show_wp_user_stylesheet_switcher(array('list_title'=>'Available styles', 'show_list_title'=>'true', 'list_type'=>'dropdown'));?> ``` * You put that in the header.php file. For example inside the `

It’s interesting, but it’s getting a bit out of the scope of my plugin. Look in the registry, there might already be other plugins for that. * Thread Starter [NemoViz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nemoviz/) * (@nemoviz) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-use-the-php-function/#post-5199617) * Hi! Thanks for your help, now it works as you can see at [http://vijesti.nemoviz.org](http://vijesti.nemoviz.org) * Do you happen to know what should I change in the strings you sent to put it on the right side of the header? Now it is bellow the logo and I’d rather put it on the right side, just above the first menus. It’s working as a dropdown and I suppose I need to create some icons to be able to work as graphical presentation.. I’ll try this in some time, first I have to prepare the style sheets. Regarding font size switcher I tested bunch of plugins and the only one which is somehow working right is out of development for about a year and it’s not so stable. Font size resets on a page refresh and links opening so every time I open a post or page or anything I need to set the size again. I wrote the author but still waiting for the reply and frankly, I don’t expect too much from her. In the first post, when I suggested this my point was that color switching and font size changes go hand in hand in the accessibility standards for partially sighted users. Visually impaired folks often want to adjust the background and font size on their screens and those two things is related, at least from the users point of view so, from the web developers point it would be nice to have such a plugin with both functionalities. Perhaps you could give it some thought, it would be really great. Thanks again for your help and take care! * Plugin Author [vgstef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vgstef/) * (@vgstef) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-use-the-php-function/#post-5199636) * If you want to place the stylesheet switcher elsewhere, you can try to place the code somewhere else in the div. Maybe after the nav ones. But you will probably have to change some CSS (ie. float right). * About the font size, changing the size can lead to a lot of design and layout issue. I don’t want to get into that. This plugin give the possibility to developpers to offer as many stylesheets as they want. If wants bigger font, they also can just zoom in with their browser (for example Ctrl+wheel mouse). * Plugin developpement is time consuming. If I’d be paid or get donations, I could consider adding functionnalities or making other plugins. But for now, my plugin works well, so I’ll work on other projects. * Thread Starter [NemoViz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nemoviz/) * (@nemoviz) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-use-the-php-function/#post-5199638) * Yeah, I agree with you on the time consuming/get paid part, I know exactly how you feel. I’ll try to donate in upcoming weeks as I’m also in the self publishing and I could use some finances aswell. One more thing before I conclude on this topic. From what I understood from the plugin Settings and readme file I am able to put the style switcher as widget, as shortcode and as a PHP function. If I’m not mistaking, I believe you wrote in instructions that different styles can be used on different places, for example I can put styles 1, 2 and 3 on a widget, styles 4, 5 and 6 on a shortcode. What I would like to know is how could I assign different style sets to several header buttons? Let’s say I have 5 buttons on the header and I’d like to assign styles 1,2 and 3 on the first one, 4, 5 and 6 on the second etc. I believe I could use that setup for changing the font size because I could put font size 100% at the first button and toggle all the color schemes on it. Next button would be font size 120% with the same toggling options for colors and so on untill 200% on the fifth button. I didn’t quite get how to assign different style sets for different ways of implementing the plugin so if it’s not a problem for you could you explain a bit?

But the point of this plugin is that : offer the possibility to have different design for a website. Each stylesheet can have different colors, font size, etc. * You’re rigth that having 5 or 10 different stylesheets would make it hard to manage. But do you really needs that many stylesheets or options? Browser and intelligent phone already offer the zoom option. * Though, I keep in mind the possibility of having different options for each switcher, but I don’t know if and when I could implement that. * Thread Starter [NemoViz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nemoviz/) * (@nemoviz) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-use-the-php-function/#post-5199691) * Hi! The difference between having switchable font sizes on a page and zoom options is significant. When you have font size options in a page layout when you enlarge the font size you have everything visible within screen borders. Text automatically wraps and aligns but it is visible on the screen, nothing gets out of its borders and you don’t have to use scrollbar to follow it which exactly happens when you use large zoom modes in browser. After a few levels the text starts to expand beyond the left and right borders and the only solution is scrollbar which is not such a good solution for extensive use. Regarding your question, I need atleast 8 different styles: original, black on white, white on black, black on yellow, yellow on black, white on blue, blue on white, yellow on blue and blue on yellow. Those are usual settings for magnification hardware which are used by partially sighted. I know that job i s gonna put me in the nuthouse because I need to modify 2014 CSS eight times in the roll and that’s just a tiny 4k lines but it has to be done xD. I’ll stick to the zoom functions till I find something useful and I hope you’ll continue the work on this plugin. It is useful in many ways besides site presentation and please keep it going.

I made big changes to this version. One on them is the possibility to have multiple switchers. So you could configure different “menu” like one for the font, one for the text size, one for color scheme, etc. Hope this helps.
