You could have saved yourself a ton of work and just used the Co-Authors Plus plugin. It has a guest author function. You do have to set them up, but there is no account/password for them, and they can have author pages. (I am not affiliated with them, just use it on several sites.)
You must use LIKE on the meta_key to support the SQL % pattern. The compare attribute only applies to the meta value. Instead you could try to filter it with: /** * Match any numbers in given a meta-key for WP_Query * * @see https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/177331/26350 */ ! is_admin() && add_filter( ‘posts_where’, function( $where ) { … Read more
Just for the sake of closing the question: <?php if(get_sub_field(‘asset_type’) == “Image”) { ?> <div><?php the_sub_field(‘image_asset’); ?></div> <?php } ?> <?php if(get_sub_field(‘asset_type’) == “Video”) { ?> <div><?php the_sub_field(‘video_asset’); ?></div> <?php } ?>
ACF uses get_field so you can get the value before you output it. Just make sure you have a $total_credit variable before you start the loop and just add to it. When the loop is done print the total to your table. NOTE: This is just pseudo code, so don’t copy/paste this, just use it … Read more
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/ prety much covers what you’re after I believe. So in your example while ( $projects->have_posts() ) { $projects->the_post(); $category_classes = array(); $categories = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), ‘project_category’ ); if ( $categories ) { foreach ( $categories as $category ) { $categories_included[] = $category->term_id; $color = get_field(‘color’, ‘project_category_’.$category->term_id); } } You can also pass a term … Read more
At first – do not use extract. It’s very bad code style and is also depracated in core. Every time your foreach loop run, you override content of $output because you assign to this variable new content. What you want is to concatenate new list item with existing ones. This can be done using concatening … Read more
Coincident that you both have 1 in rep? 😉 You want to go to Approach 2 for sure. It’s very simple to query posts by post type and custom data field. In addition you can use different categories. Creating 3 different post types will create a lot of redundancy since your posts will basically have … Read more
It appeared it was due to the fact that WordPress doesn’t understand that you need to order by certain post meta unless you specify it. So in my case adding this fixed the sorting issue: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_orderby’ ); function custom_orderby( $query ) { if( ! is_admin() ) return; $orderby = $query->get( ‘orderby’); if( ‘featured’ … Read more
Answering my own question again. 😛 I finally found this Gist that lets me get and set array variables via dot notation: https://gist.github.com/elfet/4713488 So I included the DotNotation class and now my code looks like this (skipping all sorts of error checking here) : $fieldmap_string = ‘key1.key2.key3.etc’; $current_page_content = get_field(‘page_content’, $source_post_id); $parsed_current_content = new DotNotation($current_page_content); … Read more
Create a plugin for the mu-plugins directory and have your function run when the wpmu_new_blog action fires. Reference, here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wpmu_new_blog The hook you cited for ACF seems to be the way you ought to run you function, if you want that to happen upon ACF save…
