Don’t bother with the checkbox and metabox, that’s limiting: You’re only able to have a single slider, and have to add code for every new slider to add a new checkbox Data gets stored in post meta as a custom field, but querying posts by their post meta is super expensive and slow So I … Read more
I suggest using a WordPress cron job, in the form of a real server cron job (by default WordPress cronjobs are executed when a user visits the website). Setting up a cron job (the easy way): https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-cron-job/ Real cronjob via server crontab: https://easyengine.io/tutorials/wordpress/wp-cron-crontab/
I checked your query and there’s a lot of junk in there. You define meta keys 2x. Once as meta_key and once as meta_query. Only keep the query, it has more options. Second, the tax query is all wrong. The parameters for a tax query are not the same as a meta query. You need … Read more
Here’s the updated meta box callback function. I’ve used get_posts() instead of WP_Query as get_posts() is more performant as well as easy to use in this case. And removed get_post_custom() as it’ll fetch all the custom metadata when you don’t need them. So, I’ve replaced that with get_post_meta(). Hope your dropdown will work as expected … Read more
To make sure you’re getting the correct path to the video, pass the ID to get_attached_file(), and use that in wp_read_video_metadata(). wp_upload_dir() is for getting/creating a directory to write to now, so if the file has not been uploaded in the current month, the path will not be correct if you just add it to … Read more
I think you have the correct approach when you want to use a meta data value for it. I would do it the same way. I don’t quite know how downloads are arranged, but I think it shouldn’t be to hard to add an action which adds 1 to the count, after download. A server … Read more
You will need to find a way to do import Options programmatically, by hooking wpmu_new_blog. the hook function should switch_to_blog do your Import Options and restore_current_blog.
This is possible, but you’re going to have to do a lot of custom work to get what you want. If you want all of your postmeta to come from and go to a separate database, you can use these filters: get_{$meta_type}_metadata – This filter is documented in wp-includes/meta.php. Returning a non-null value from this … Read more
WordPress has the remove_post_type_support function that can be used with this purpouse, you can learn more from https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/remove_post_type_support/ Just an example borrowed from codex /** * Remove excerpt support from posts. */ function wprocs_custom_init() { remove_post_type_support( ‘post’, ‘excerpt’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpdocs_custom_init’ );
The post meta form is limited to displaying 30 keys by default. To change the value, use the postmeta_form_limit filter: add_filter( ‘postmeta_form_limit’, function( $limit ) { return 50; } ); Also consider adding a custom meta box, where you can set up dedicated fields instead of having to select a key each time.
