This is an answer that depending on how you ultimately configure things – should get you where you want to go. In your question, you had posts_per_page as 1. If you only want 1 result, then that’s fine. If not… modify as shown. You also didn’t initialize the concatenated string $return_string and finally you put … Read more
Couple of things to consider here: 1.) Try adding the meta query only if the value is present: $pairedThing = get_field(‘myThing’); $args = [ ‘posts_per_page’ => 2, ‘post_type’ => ‘thing’, ]; if ( ! empty( $pairedThing ) ) { $args[‘meta_key’] = ‘identifier’; $args[‘meta_value’] = $pairedThing; } 2.) Account for posts without the meta-key set: $pairedThing … Read more
There’s a few ways to achieve this but here’s one which supports an unknown depth of children, for example where you have nested groups within groups. Given the field key “field_{some_hash}” of the field, this function will retrieve the field, and its parent most field, and so on until we reach the top of the … Read more
Given that this order you desire is unfortunately not alphabetical (although that wouldn’t be very scaleable… but it would be handy). You might make life easier on yourself by adding another custom field called (say) “display_order”. Then add the numbers 1,2 and 3 to that field, and then query the post type ordering by these … Read more
The WP_Term_Query class doesn’t have a method named set, and calling $query->set() in my case resulted in a fatal/critical error saying “Call to undefined method WP_Term_Query::set()“. :/ But you can directly modify the query_vars property (i.e. $query->query_vars), like so, to set, unset or override any query variables like meta_query: // Use this: $query->query_vars[‘meta_query’] = $meta_query; … Read more
You can use the acf_update_value filter to set a post meta value whenever the field is updated. Here’s an example for a field named test_field. Check if the current field is test_field, then get its old value and compare it to the new value. If it has been updated, update a post meta field named … Read more
I think this is not possible with the API functions provided by ACF. I would try to save the values to a temporary array first and then sort the values inside the array with php (using krsort() for example). Something like this (just to give an idea): while(has_sub_field(‘in_the_news’)) { $date = get_sub_field(‘published_date’); // $date = … Read more
So what you need to do is order it by the custom value of the meta_key date value. Something like this (untested): $wp_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘upcoming_events’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘meta_query’ => array ( array ( ‘key’ => ‘your_custom_date_key’, ‘value’ => date(‘Y-m-d’) ) ), ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’ ) ); Hope that helps.
It appears you currently have the field set to return the image object, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you linked you’ll see an example object: Array ( [id] => 540 [alt] => A Movie Specifying a size when displaying an image associated with a taxonomy through ACF => Movie Poster: … Read more
You can do this by customizing the plugin. You’ll want to find timepicker.js in /wp-content/plugins/acf-field-date-time-picker/js/timepicker.js And change line 21: , yearRange: “-100:+100” to your preferred range, for example: , yearRange: “-500:+100” This gives you a dropdown that, by default, goes back 500 years and forth 100, from the current year. Or you can hardcode a … Read more
