Your code snippet is full of errors. The serialized string is invalid, it’s only 3 chars instead of 9, unserialization will not work, it will trigger an error. Variables are case sensitive, $red doesn’t exist, it’s $Red, this will trigger an error too. The <?php ?> tags are redundant and invalid since there already must … Read more
A very simplistic method of achieving this would be as follows; add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘recently_read’); function recently_read(){ global $post; //only run this function for the posts post_type if ( !is_single() ) return; //get the current time in the format of: 2013-02-22 11:55:51 $timestamp = current_time(‘mysql’); //add the $timestamp variable to the meta_key for this post update_post_meta($post->ID, ‘reading_this’, … Read more
While the WPDB class, or its global $wpdb instance are your friend when it comes to querying custom tables or WP core data that does not have a higher-level API, it is overkill to use it to query posts. Instead, read up on WP_Query. In your case, you’d use it like so: $args = array( … Read more
All of the real work here is being done by $geoDataStore->getPostIDsOfInRange. That is where the search is done and that is what isn’t returning the results you want. WP_Query just pulls the specified post IDs. There is no reason you should have to abandon that part of the code, though you may want to add … Read more
First, you have to store your dates in a form that sorts properly mathematically. Unix timestamps will do that. The only human-like calendar format that does it is YYYY-MM-DD. You have your dates saved backwards. Assuming you store as YYYY-MM-DD, then this should work: $args = array( ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘ows_schedule_field-date’, ‘meta_value’ … Read more
You code is generating a broken meta_query. You code will produce something like this: array(1) { [“meta_query”]=> array(2) { [0]=> array(2) { [“relation”]=> string(2) “OR” [0]=> array(3) { [“key”]=> string(4) “test” [“value”]=> string(10) “test_value” [“compare”]=> string(4) “LIKE” } } } It should look like this: array(1) { [“meta_query”]=> array(2) { [“relation”]=> string(2) “OR” [0]=> array(3) … Read more
This is how I got it working: ADDED this to functions.php: function include_template_function( $template_path ) { global $wp; if ($wp->request == ‘state’) { $template_path = locate_template( array ( ‘state.php’ ) ); } return $template_path; } $state_name = $_GET[‘st’]; //this is added to use as a global variable ADDED THIS to header.php because WP thinks it’s … Read more
I ended up finding two solutions within WordPress’ capabilities. Storing available rather than unavailable dates The first solution would be to have the agency select all available dates rather than selecting unavailable dates. Our example listing would then have a custom field listing_available: update_post_meta($post_id, “listing_available”, “/20140101/20140102/20140103/20140104/”); I would then be able to run the following … Read more
Best way to proceed is with ajax and a tax_query. Pre_get_posts filter only makes sense if you want to change the query on the template hierarchy, so the ‘standard’ taxonomy.php stuff. This approach: make a page with that show the default list, so maybe ‘all’, just a simple post_type query. And a side menu with … Read more
This might require writing custom sql with a subquery: $results = $wpdb->get_results(” SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID NOT IN ( SELECT post_id FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘my_custom_field’ and meta_value = 2 ) “); then just iterate through the results as described here.
