It can be done, but it won’t be so easy. Post Object is stored as an ID, so you can’t use meta query to search by post title in such case… There are few ways of solving that problem: 1. Use acf/save_post action to save title of given post object as another meta value: // … Read more
You can use get_the_content to a variable instead, so you can check it is not empty first: <?php $content = get_the_content(); ?> <?php if (!empty($content)) : ?> <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3> <p><?php echo $content; ?></p> <?php endif; ?>
Had same issue. Have spent like few hours searching for the problem and it turned out to be just a typo: instead of incorrect order_by you should use orderby – without the underscore. So, this should work: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘event’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘events_startdate’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ); $post_query = new WP_Query( $args … Read more
Custom post types & Pages hierarchy – Error 404
So I was first looking for a way to loop through the existing posts, as suggested in Christine’s comment. Based on this answer, I created a basic plugin that runs the loop upon activation. // Run the loop when the plugin is activated register_activation_hook(__FILE__, ‘update_my_metadata’); function update_my_metadata(){ $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, // Only … Read more
You’ll have to use JOIN to achieve this: UPDATE wp_posts p INNER JOIN wp_postmeta pm ON p.ID = pm.post_id SET p.post_status=”draft” WHERE p.post_type=”match” AND pm.meta_key = ‘played’ AND pm.meta_value = 0;
I would advice you to store the time as a string instead of a d-m-Y format. Use strtotime() to format it as a long integer. This will help you comparing the strings. I’m not 100% sure if PHP is able to compare string dates. It is however able to compare timetamps as this user mentioned … Read more
I have the code below (started from yours) setup as a shortcode and it works fine. When I change the direction ‘ASC’ to ‘DESC’, the sort order changes as well, so it is not ‘luck’ that posts are in the correct order. It assumes that the dates are stored yyyymmdd. NOTE that one must remove … Read more
You don’t have the $post object, but trying to use it in the code ($post->ID). Use get_the_ID() function instead: <?php while ( $cat_query->have_posts() ) : $cat_query->the_post(); // $gread = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘read_time’, true ); // Wrong $gread = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘read_time’, true ); // Right endwhile; } From now forth always enable debugging when you … Read more
wp_update_term does not support custom fields so you will need to use update_term_meta instead. update_term_meta($personid, ‘_dob’, $_POST[‘newDob’]);
