The featured image’s ID is saved in a post meta field by the name of _thumbnail_id, so with a little bit of joining, you can use MySQL to search them for you: SELECT p1.ID as ID1, p2.ID AS ID2 FROM wp_posts p1 LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta pm1 ON (p1.ID = pm1.post_id AND pm1.meta_key = ‘_thumbnail_id’), wp_posts … Read more
This can be a real pain, I know firsthand. The obvious place (that I sometimes forget) is your Trash folder. If it’s not there, I would suggest re-saving permalinks. As a last resort, I’d do what you said… a bunch of searches of the database. One time a plugin had auto-generated a page, and after … Read more
You’d avoid it by creating another menu and menu location. You can do this with a widget area or whatever. Then only call the menu if the page is the home page with is_home() or is_front_page() if it is a page.

Defining the query variable ($main_query) as global. Querying a temp array ($temp_featured) with my featured posts. Creating an array with only the IDs of the `$temp_featured’. Note … Read more
Your two queries are identical, meaning you only need one of them. The basic solution is: global $testimonials; $testimonials = new WP_Query(array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 2, /* <– get both */ ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonial’, ‘post_status’ => ‘published’, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true /* you need this to control post count accurately */ )); // header … Read more

WordPress will not allow you, using its default comment process, to insert empty comments into the database. This is enforced by wp_handle_comment_submission() with the following unconditional code: if ( ” == $comment_content ) { return new WP_Error( ‘require_valid_comment’, __( ‘<strong>ERROR</strong>: please type a comment.’ ), 200 ); } If you insist on using comments, you … Read more
Use WP’s update_post_meta() function instead of straight SQL. If the postmeta exists, it gets updated. If it doesn’t exist, it gets added. update_post_meta(‘1117’, ‘_yoast_wpseo_metadesc’, ‘Test 5’);
