To order by event-end date or start date, your write separate function and call them as per requirement. For example if user clicks on order by start then start function should be called. switch($orderby){ case: ‘event-start’: # your code /* $query[‘meta_key’] = ‘event_start_date’; $query[‘orderby’] = ‘event_start_date’; */ break; case ‘event-end’: #your code /* $query[‘meta_key’] = … Read more
Add an array and choose one for the value. add_action(‘draft_post’, ‘add_custom_field’); function add_custom_field($post_ID) { global $wpdb; if(!wp_is_post_revision($post_ID)) { $colors = array(‘white’, ‘green’, ‘blue’); add_post_meta($post_ID, ‘random_color’, $colors[array_rand($colors, 1)], true); } }

Aha! Stupid error. I didn’t give it a proper METAKEY! This seems to have fixed things: /* Save the meta box’s post metadata. */ function save_metabox_exhibition( $post_id, $post ) { $fields = 0; if($_POST) { $metaboxes[0][‘nonce’] = $_POST[‘exhibition_finish_date_nonce’]; $metaboxes[0][‘data’] = $_POST[‘gc_finish_date’]; $metaboxes[0][‘meta’] = ‘gc_finish_date’; $metaboxes[1][‘nonce’] = $_POST[‘exhibition_start_date_nonce’]; $metaboxes[1][‘data’] = $_POST[‘gc_start_date’]; $metaboxes[1][‘meta’] = ‘gc_start_date’; $metaboxes[2][‘nonce’] = … Read more

Based on this comment: @ChipBennett, it’s the site’s front page, i.e. the home page.

This is important to understand, as … Read more
