That’s not how you update posts. Because you used raw SQL to do it, none of the filters or actions fired, and none of WP_Cache was updated, so it’ll return an old version of the post it fetched earlier when you call get_post. Instead, if you want to update a post, use wp_insert_post and pass … Read more
WordPress has inbuilt function force_balance_tags which I belive is not explored much but it can be useful in such scenario. get the content and truncate it to any arbitrary length $content = get_the_content(); $length = 1000; if(strlen($content) > $length) { $content = substr($content, 0, $length); } Now apply force_balance_tags function to balance any html tags … Read more
Every post has a maximum of one format and one status. To echo the format you need: if (get_post_format($post->ID)) echo ‘<span class=”format-‘ . get_post_format($post->ID); . ‘”></span>’; To echo the status you need this: if (get_post_status($post->ID)) echo ‘<span class=”status-‘ . get_post_status($post->ID); . ‘”></span>’; Hopefully this is what you need.
change the_ID() to get_the_ID(). calling the_ID() prints the post’s ID, while get_the_ID() simply returns it and allows you to use it further on. reference : get_the_ID()
You can simply call get_post(), it returns the current post if no ID is specified. get_the_ID() actually does the same.
Formatting get_post content doesn’t allow JS content to function properly
You need to use setup_postdata(). $post = get_post( $id ); setup_postdata( $post ); if(! empty( $post ) ){ the_title(); echo ‘<br>’; the_content(); } else { echo “No page found matching ID $id”; }
Your inner loop overwrites the contents of $post, so any later template tags use the values of whatever it last contained. “But I used wp_reset_postdata()!” you say? What that function does is try to restore $post from $wp_query->post. It’s meant to restore the main query after secondary queries. You have two secondary queries here, so … Read more
You could use WP_Query or get_post(), they are both fine. Have a look at this to learn why you should NOT use query_posts() and how the other two affect variables etc.: When should you use WP_Query vs query_posts() vs get_posts()?
It’s possible to use functions in a way that allow for one action to pass variables to the next. In this case, I’ve waited till the wp_head event to add the_content filter. And it will be using the queried_object_id when appending content with showPostMetaInfo. This makes your function a little more OOP friendly. // Wait … Read more
