You’re in luck. I was actually looking for an excuse to do this on one of my projects. I finally took the time to add this idea into one of my themes. 🙂 You can take this idea and run with it. It’s very basic and bare-bones example, but it does what you want it … Read more
There should not be any need to do this. Even if an ACF Field is using ‘return_format’ => ‘m/d/Y g:i a’, The post_meta value is in YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00 format. $date_now = date(‘Y-m-d’); $args = [ ‘meta_key’=>’the_date’, ‘meta_value’=>$date_now.’ 00:00:00′, ‘meta_compare’=>’>=’, ]; $query = new WP_Query( $args ); Edit: I’ve noticed some discrepancies in this, the value … Read more
probably it’s a bit too late, but it might either help you or others: I just had a similar problem and while looking for the solution I found your question. By now I found a solution for me and it might help you as well. Similar setup to yours, acf_form was loaded, but the location … Read more
ACF has finegrained filters for fields when they get loaded. add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘register_my_scripts’, 5 ); function register_my_scripts() { wp_register_script( ‘my-script’, ‘path-to/my-script.js’, array(), ‘version’, true ); } add_filter(‘acf/load_field/name=my_field_name’, ‘load_field_my_field_name’); function load_field_my_field_name( $field ) { wp_enqueue_script( ‘my-script’ ); return $field; } Normally all scripts should be enqueued in wp_enqueue_scripts hook. So you should make sure your script … Read more
My situation to tackle this problem was a bit problematic because I wanted to use the GF Update Post plugin to let my users edit their post right after they submitted the content. With the above solution ACF does not write to the db and correct ACF fields (at least not for me). My solution: … Read more
/*remove term descriptions from post editor */ function wpse_hide_cat_descr() { ?> <style type=”text/css”> .term-description-wrap { display: none; } </style> <?php } add_action( ‘admin_head-term.php’, ‘wpse_hide_cat_descr’ ); add_action( ‘admin_head-edit-tags.php’, ‘wpse_hide_cat_descr’ ); If you need to target it to category editor only – in other words leave description for other taxonomies, then easiest will be to position the … Read more
There are a couple of reasons why this generates more queries than you expect. First, ACF stores fields as two distinct pieces of data – one part contains info about the field, what settings you selected, how to format output, etc., and the other part contains the actual value assigned to that field. So right … Read more
I think something like this, but not tested, and my SQL-foo is rather weak: $test = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( ” SELECT DISTINCT $wpdb->posts.* FROM $wpdb->posts INNER JOIN $wpdb->postmeta AS mt1 ON ( wp_posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id ) WHERE $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = ‘goals-made’ AND( mt1.meta_key = ‘goals-against’ AND CAST($wpdb->postmeta.meta_value AS INT) > CAST(mt1.meta_value AS INT) ) ” )); This … Read more
Development of Pods 2.0 definitely won’t stop, the funding problems explained in that dev post were alluding to an upcoming announcement that we’ll be pushing some of the enterprise and “extra” functionality of Pods 2.0 into a premium version targeted towards firms with more advanced and specific needs. On the data structure, Pods 2.0 handles … Read more
Maybe you’re using the wrong tool to represent relations between posts. the custom post meta fields api is somehow inefficient for that task and has certain restrictions. I advice to have a look at the “posts to posts” plugin from pipin which is much more suited for that task.
