Empty meta-box returns publishdate if no value is set?

I’m half asleep here so correct me if I am wrong here but it looks to me like you are saving the publish date of the post each time you save the post, $wr_event_end_date = isset($_POST[‘wr_event_end_date’]) ? $_POST[‘wr_event_end_date’] : ”; $event_end_date = new DateTime($wr_event_end_date); update_post_meta($post->ID, “event_end_date”, $event_end_date->getTimestamp()); This -> $event_end_date->getTimestamp() being the culprit.

Fallback for empty custom fields

You could do it like this: // store post meta in a variable and use that so you aren’t pulling the post meta data twice $landPricing = get_post_meta($post->ID, “Pricing_Land_Only”, true) if(!empty($landPricing)) { echo $landPricing; } else { echo “Sorry, nothing was found.”; }

( $req ? ‘<span … Read more

Using a string from a custom field within a link

Automatic linking terms

The answer was right under my nose facepalm. In the custom field suite plugin, instead of entering ProductName-2000 : ProductName-2000 you enter <a href=”http://www.site.com/ProductName-2000/”>ProductName-2000</a> : ProductName-2000 I kinda wish i could delete this question… hope it helps someone else at least. 😛
