It is not clear what you’re using as a comparison, but WP Query supports meta query comparisons and even has a DATE type.

A shortcode like this [thumbnail height=100 width=100]http://urltoimage.com/image.jpg[/thumbnail] Would need this type of setup function content_insert_thumbnail($atts, $content = null){ global $post; extract($atts); $thumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, array($height, $width)); $content .= $thumbnail; //Places the thumbnail after the content return $content; //Never echo a value from a shortcode function. } add_shortcode(‘thumbnail’, ‘content_insert_thumbnail’); To call this in your theme to … Read more

<?php $metacatname = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘related blog articles’, true ); if(!(empty( $metacatname ))): $my_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘category_name’ => $meta_cat_name, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ) ); if ( $my_query->have_posts() ): while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/29266/<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a> <?php endwhile; endif; endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>
How do you know that the checkbox value is not being saved? I’m guessing that it is saved to the database; however, in your code, you do not have any method of setting the “checked” attribute for the checkbox to “checked”. As such, you will not see the boxed checked. You’ll need something like the … Read more

You can do the conversions behind the scenes and just show users the … Read more
