get_post_custom() will return an array of arrays. You need: echo $custom_array[‘my_custom_field’][0]; Alternatively, you can use get_post_meta() with the $single flag as true: echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘my_custom_field’, true );
<?php // get an array of multiple values $post_meta_array = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘link’); // do not use ‘true’ as the third argument // echo the link for each value foreach ($post_meta_array as $post_meta) { echo ‘<a href=”‘ . $post_meta . ‘” target=”_blank”>Images Source</a>’; }
Here are few ideas: 1) You could try to compare with LIKE instead: ‘key’ => ‘_my_custom_field_key’, ‘value’ => ‘test1’, ‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’ It should give you a SQL query with: … LIKE ‘%test1%’ … 2) You might want to save the string as ,test1,test2,test3, to make the whole word search easier: ‘key’ => ‘_my_custom_field_key’, ‘value’ … Read more
When adding a metabox, the metabox itself isn’t saved in the database. It’s loaded from the plugin code that is written, then it’s up to you to fill it with appropriate values. You don’t have to create additional fields in the DB. There is a function: update_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value); In your case you might do … Read more
You can do this by not including “editor” in the “supports” argument. And then add a new meta box using add_meta_box() in whose call back you can add all the post meta’s as required.
Try using ‘NOT EXISTS’ instead of ‘NOT LIKE’ and remove the value ( it’ll be removed by WP with NOT EXISTS ): $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘verified’, ‘compare’ => ‘NOT EXISTS’ ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Custom_Field_Parameters
The question is from a long time ago but, just for reference, in this particular case and if somebody simply wants to use the checked function with what seems to be an array (instead of doing the test and output ‘checked` on the spot) here is a drop-in solution: checked( in_array( $shopCategory->term_id, $term_meta[‘ss_aff_categories’] ) ) … Read more
There is a dynamic hook right before any new metadata is added: do_action( “add_{$meta_type}_meta”, $object_id, $meta_key, $_meta_value ); It would be add_post_meta for posts accordingly. Note that you might to tinker some to catch this precisely in the case of new post being created, for example hook into publish_post first, note the ID, and add … Read more
The second parameter to wp_set_object_terms() takes an array, integer, or string. (array/int/string) (required) The slug or id of the term (such as category or tag IDs), will replace all existing related terms in this taxonomy. To clear or remove all terms from an object, pass an empty string or NULL. Integers are interpreted as tag … Read more
Your meta key should be specified as the meta_key argument, and orderby should be meta_value_num: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post_sermons’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ot_get_option(‘wpl_sermon_per_page’), ‘paged’=> $paged, ‘meta_key’ => ‘video_order’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ ); See WP_Query for explanations of query arguments.
