I tried this in a fresh install of WP locally so I’d assume this is expected behavior, but I don’t understand it. I’m not in the loop, No but that doesn’t mean a main query doesn’t exist, it just means your code to display it hasn’t run yet and I haven’t called anything to start … Read more
I worked it out, when in the admin area of a page/post you can find the post ID in the browser URL: http://localhost/newsite/wp-admin/post.php?post=1807&action=edit So the previous dev simply uses this page as a ‘parent’, and refers to it as they set $id = get_post(1807); Now the query find posts/pages that a ‘children’ of this page.
<?php $categories=get_categories(”); foreach($categories as $category) { echo ‘<p>Category: <a href=”‘ . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . ‘” title=”‘ . sprintf( __( “View all posts in %s” ), $category->name ) . ‘” ‘ . ‘>’ . $category->name.'</a> </p> ‘; echo ‘<p> Cat ID: ‘. $category->cat_ID. ‘</p>’; // The Query $id_cat = $category->cat_ID; $args = array( ‘cat’ => … Read more
you already called get_post() then why you are not getting the excerpt from post data, like this. $post = get_post( $pageid ); $excerpt = $post->post_excerpt; // get post content $content = $post->post_content; for more information about get_post() see the WordPress codex
getpost content with all formatting for admin pages
Figured it out. $post_obj[‘permalink’] = my_getDraftPermalink( $post_obj[‘post_id’] ); That’s the correct syntax for getting the post_id. Then a custom function that gets the permalink the same way as the post dashboard UI is required. The dashboard uses get_sample_permalink and not get_permalink, which will return the draft path if the post isn’t live. function my_getDraftPermalink ( … Read more
Not tested but this should work: add_action(‘manage_pages_custom_column’, ‘display_page_custom_cols’, 10, 2); function display_page_custom_cols($col_name, $post_id) { global $wpdb; $user_group = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * From custom_user_group”,OBJECT_K); if (‘user_group’ == $col_name) { $pages = explode(‘,’,get_post($post_id)); $output = array(); foreach ($pages as $page ) { $output[] = $user_group[$page]->GroupName; } echo implode(‘,’,$output); } }
You can choose between simplicity and efficiency. Running a get_posts() with a meta query for every entry is the simplest approach, and will do the job. Of course, as you pointed out, there are performance considerations. If you are looking for a more efficient solution, you will have to dive as deep as the database … Read more
It’s not clear why you mess with the global, under normal circumstances you don’t need to. Out of the box, when viewing a post page, get_post() will return current post object. Regardless of the loop even, since it is set up as part of main query before template is even reached. The difference between post … Read more
When $post is null for get_post it looks to $GLOBALS[‘post’]. There are several other checks in the source so perhaps you should find out the value of the global variable when you’re calling it or give it something besides and empty value. What does get_the_id() return vs. get_post(get_queried_object_id())? Or var_dump(get_queried_object())? get_post() – Retrieves post data … Read more
