Well, you are using: get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘subtitle’, TRUE); So, you are saying to WordPress to get the meta value of the ‘subtitle’ field and that the returned value be in format of string. See get_post_meta() docu. To get all meta data of a post you should use get_post_custom() function instead. For example, if you are inside … Read more
This is probably more complicated than you think, I would look into using a framework: http://wpgear.org/#meta-fields If you want to write your own , here are some decent tutorials: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/creating-custom-fields-for-attachments-in-wordpress/ http://sltaylor.co.uk/blog/control-your-own-wordpress-custom-fields/ http://thinkvitamin.com/code/create-your-first-wordpress-custom-post-type/
Thank you everyone for your help! In the end the query below got me the results I desired – which was to show and sort the posts by a custom field of “publication_date” first – sorting by the date, and if there were multiple of the same date (say, 4 marked June 2013), it would … Read more
Store errors in your class or as a global, possibly in a transient or meta, and display them in admin notices on POST requests. WP does not feature any flash message handler.
If you read the documentation for wp_insert_post, it returns the post ID of the post you just created. If you combine that with the following function __update_post_meta (a custom function I acquired from this site and adapted a bit) /** * Updates post meta for a post. It also automatically deletes or adds the value … Read more

Take a look at: http://www.catalysthomes.co.uk/homes-for-sale/ Properties are loaded into a CPT and I have my own custom search in the sidebar. Of that search its searching a number of things such as taxonomies, custom fields and ordering by date price etc. So how do … Read more
I see many people prefer to use pre_get_posts hook instead of query_posts Yay! So pre_get_posts filters a WP_Query object which means anything you could do via query_posts() you can do via $query->set() and $query->get(). In particular we can make use of the meta_query attribute (see Codex): $meta_query = array( array( ‘key’=>’featured’, ‘value’=>’yes’, ‘compare’=>’!=’, ), ); … Read more
I have been searching for hours for a solution to this problem. Array merging is not the way to go, especially when the queries are complex and you must be able to add to meta queries in the future. The solution which is simplistically beautiful is to change ‘s’ to one which allows both searching … Read more
I wound up working on the exact same thing and this post was very helpful. I used Custom Fields and here is the code that I used to create a list of all events greater than the current date. Note the extra taxonomy based filters. <?php // Let’s get the data we need to loop … Read more
I added new field ‘picture’ (input type file) to category with help of these add_action(‘category_edit_form_fields’,’category_edit_form_fields’); add_action(‘category_edit_form’, ‘category_edit_form’); add_action(‘category_add_form_fields’,’category_edit_form_fields’); add_action(‘category_add_form’,’category_edit_form’); function category_edit_form() { ?> <script type=”text/javascript”> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(‘#edittag’).attr( “enctype”, “multipart/form-data” ).attr( “encoding”, “multipart/form-data” ); }); </script> <?php } function category_edit_form_fields () { ?> <tr class=”form-field”> <th valign=”top” scope=”row”> <label for=”catpic”><?php _e(‘Picture of the category’, ”); ?></label> … Read more
