Yes, we can use existing tables in WordPress for storing the values. Post meta fields are stored in the {$wpdb->prefix}_postmeta table (depending on the table prefix; wp_postmeta by default). If the meta key “like_count” is already present in the table along with the post ID then update_post_meta() will update this, and otherwise this function will … Read more
This is probably the root cause – https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/36510. Core have moved from saving menus in $_POST to sending them as json encoded and then decode it into $_POST. I am not very familiar with how menus are sent to the server, but you probably either use the wrong hook, use the right hook but too … Read more
If I understand it right your workflow is that you query posts (implicitly via normal WP mechanics), then display data from external database for them, but want to sort based on external data. This isn’t trivial (without mirroring you don’t want to do), since WP relies primarily on SQL over its own data for sorting. … Read more

In general, you can fix the databases with some work in myPHPAdmin. See this article (among others found via the googles) https://www.a2hosting.com/kb/cpanel/cpanel-database-features/optimizing-and-repairing-mysql-databases-with-phpmyadmin There is also this post https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-corrupted-wordpress-database-2/ that says you can let WP repair the databases by addjine one line in your wp-config.php file: define (WP_ALLOW_REPAIR, “true”); …placing it at the location as specified … Read more
Just look for an empty user_activation_key in users-table. If is empty, user is active. If is filled, user is inactive.
Bootstrapping WordPress from a direct PHP file hit is not a good idea in general, the repository maintainers are right. It is pretty simple to add a custom endpoint using the Rewrite API, so there’s no reason you shouldn’t. add_action( ‘init’, function() { /** Add a custom path and set a custom query argument. */ … Read more
