get_pages() doesn’t support the full featured meta query that you can do with WP_Query() constructor. get_pages() only support meta key – value query and that is why 1st query is working and 2nd is not. So, you have to use WP_Query() in this case.
Solved. I needed to change meta_query this way: $meta_query = array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘key’ => ‘public’, ‘value’ => ‘1’, ), array( ‘key’ => ‘public’, ‘value’ => ”, // necessary to work!!! ‘compare’ => ‘NOT EXISTS’ ), ); 1st array search for post with meta key ‘public’ set to 1 2nd array add post … Read more
The post date isn’t meta. You only orderby meta_value if the value is a custom field stored in the wp_postmeta table. The publication date is in the wp_posts table and part of the core post data. If you want to order by date you set orderby to date, and don’t set any of the meta_ … Read more
LIKE as a compare value doesn’t make sense with an array. You want compare to be IN. Also, you’ve got an extra set of quotes in the values for no reason: $meta_query_args = [ [ ‘key’ => ‘checkboxes’, ‘value’ => [‘facebook’, ‘twitter’], ‘compare’ => ‘IN’, ], ]; EDIT: So, according to your comment you’re using … Read more
The meta_query cannot be used to search value which are stored as serialized arrays. You can use it to search multiple values (meta-fields can have several values using the same key). You need a different approach to solve your problem, this is what I suggest, store your meta field with the user id as part … Read more
This cannot be done via WP_Query, the orderby parameter can take multiple values, but those are telling it what to order by, aka date, time, title, etc These are the valid values You can specify that it must order by post meta, but you can’t specify more than one post meta, because it uses the … Read more
First of all, you have a typo in your code. The variable with post IDs is called post_id_array, but your foreach loop uses post_ids_array (ids instead of id). When you fix this, then there’s one more problem. Meta query param should be an array of queries and each query should be an array. But your … Read more
hell yes you can do this with a standard WP_Query. As far as i understand, all you need is a random number between 1 and 10 (or so) and then fetch a random post with that specific number > meta_query. So all you need is a logic, that creates your random number, preferably the lower, … Read more
No, not without using filters to insert raw SQL, you can do comparisons, such as greater than, smaller than, but not ranges, but even then this will be an incredibly slow query, doing it is a bad idea: post meta tables are optimised for finding meta when it already knows the post ID taxonomy tables … Read more
Answer Version 2 I apologize for the confusion. Here’s how you can use the usort() function to sort the images (in the div#pic-con on the front-end): <div id=”pic-con”> <?php if (!empty($vid_pix)) { usort( $vid_pix, function( $a, $b ){ $aPor = (int) get_post_meta( $a, ‘photo_order’, true ); $bPor = (int) get_post_meta( $b, ‘photo_order’, true ); if … Read more
