What you are doing is … Read more

Delete post based on a custom field?

You don’t have a ON for your LEFT JOIN, I guess the WHERE statement you use has to be the ON statement. You should use this query instead: $querystr = ” DELETE FROM $wpdb->posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta ON $wpdb->postmeta.post_id = $wpdb->posts.ID WHERE $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = ‘randomID’ AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value=”$randomID””; Reference here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/join.html

WP_Query on custom post type not displaying, multiple loops & get_template_part

I think you forgot to check if $the_query have posts. <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonials’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’ ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?> <?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?> <div class=”testimonial push_2 grid_10 clearfix”> <blockquote>“<?php the_field( ‘testimonial’ ); ?>”</blockquote> <cite>—<?php … Read more
