Custom fields are saved as “post meta” which is stored in wp_postmeta. To retrieve them, you use the get_post_meta() function as follows: $value = get_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key, $single ); $single will almost always be set to true if you’re working string data. Unfortunately, it defaults as false, so if you’re retrieving the data as a … Read more
I’m guessing it’s because you used order_by when it should actually be orderby – that order_by wasn’t just a typo in the question, right? And also, if the meta value is a date, then you should also set the meta_type parameter to DATE so that the sorting works as expected. So try with: $the_query = … Read more

There is nothing ‘improper’ about the second block of code. Its just written for debugging purposes. The key difference is that that second block used get_the_ID(). Try that. add_action (‘genesis_before_post_content’, ‘gteh_tagline’); function gteh_tagline() { $meta = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), $field[‘dbt_text’], true); echo $meta; } Or try to pull in $post with global. add_action (‘genesis_before_post_content’, ‘gteh_tagline’); function gteh_tagline() … Read more
I think this should work, but I am not 100% certain on the advanced meta query for “not” a null string. That isn’t normally how meta queries are used. As such, I have left the set_transient line commented out. I just noticed that you are trying to pull 1 random post, so you might not … Read more
You’ll only need to run it once, but this should get all your posts, and then loop through them and update the meta. add_action(‘admin_init’, ‘deleteCommaDB’); function deleteCommaDB(){ // The Query $args = array ( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1 ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); // The Loop while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); $price_key = … Read more
The SQL query triggered by get_post_custom() is in update_meta_cache() and it looks like this: $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT $column, meta_key, meta_value FROM $table WHERE $column IN ($id_list)”, $meta_type ), ARRAY_A ); So there is no ORDER BY given. Without ORDER BY the resulting order is almost unpredictable: it depends on the optimizer, used indexes and their … Read more
Custom fields are pretty much what it says in the name: custom. Most themes don’t display them in any real way, and they’re there for plugins and themes to do what is needed with them. Internally, there’s only two real things we’re talking about: Posts and postmeta. The posts are the main part of the … Read more
First, dd this code [] at the end of your form field name. So your field’s name will be “test[]”.
