When you get the date with function get_the_date() you need to pass a $post object or ID as a second parameter: $date = get_the_date( $date_format, $post ); The first parameter here is the PHP date format. The second – Post ID or WP_Post object Here is an example that should work: add_action( ‘acf/save_post’, ‘my_acf_save_post’ ); … Read more
When you do this: ‘_related_posts’: [post.id], you’re actually overriding the entire array or the meta value, so to instead append an item to the existing array, you can use the spread (…) syntax like so: ‘_related_posts’: [ …meta._related_posts, post.id ]. But you may not want to update the meta if the selected post ID is … Read more
if you need to turn it into an array of IDs then it is already an array of IDs, you don’t need to do any work on it, it’s already in the perfect form to go straight into the terms parameter e.g. ‘terms’ => $terms, The only thing to be mindful about though, is that … Read more
You could use NOT EXISTS as the value for comparem, you could also check for empty value if thats relevant This code only checks if hidden meta does not exists $postsForSitemap = get_posts([ ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘orderby’ => ‘modified’, ‘post_type’ => [‘post’, ‘page’], ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘hidden’, ‘meta_compare’ => ‘NOT EXISTS’ ]; This … Read more
Couple of things to consider here: 1.) Try adding the meta query only if the value is present: $pairedThing = get_field(‘myThing’); $args = [ ‘posts_per_page’ => 2, ‘post_type’ => ‘thing’, ]; if ( ! empty( $pairedThing ) ) { $args[‘meta_key’] = ‘identifier’; $args[‘meta_value’] = $pairedThing; } 2.) Account for posts without the meta-key set: $pairedThing … Read more
There’s a few ways to achieve this but here’s one which supports an unknown depth of children, for example where you have nested groups within groups. Given the field key “field_{some_hash}” of the field, this function will retrieve the field, and its parent most field, and so on until we reach the top of the … Read more
The WP_Term_Query class doesn’t have a method named set, and calling $query->set() in my case resulted in a fatal/critical error saying “Call to undefined method WP_Term_Query::set()“. :/ But you can directly modify the query_vars property (i.e. $query->query_vars), like so, to set, unset or override any query variables like meta_query: // Use this: $query->query_vars[‘meta_query’] = $meta_query; … Read more
Josh, take a look at: http://farinspace.com/wpalchemy-metabox-data-storage-modes/ … I am thinking I will be changing how WPAlchemy stores values by default … making EXTRACT mode default …
It sounds like you want to use the ‘sticky’ functionality as a replacement for a tag or a category. Why not just put all the posts you want in a ‘tab’ category, then call your query for that category. You can use orderby in fancy ways (such as by post_meta($tab = get_posts(‘category=tab&orderby=date’);
I ran your query on my local workstation. It looks like there is a typo: You should have $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value not $wpdb->wpostmeta.meta_value (used twice).
