So I was really overthinking this problem. Hopefully my answer can help someone in the future. Basically all I needed to do was save the array from wordpress and check to see if the user_ID (Associative Array Key) was in the Array, if it was and the user needed to change the value I needed … Read more
First, you have a very basic PHP mistake: single quotes mean “string literal”. Variables won’t be processed. You are literally putting “$variable” into the generated code. Second, look at the third parameter of get_post_meta() $single (boolean) (optional) If set to true then the function will return a single result, as a string. If false, or … Read more
When defining your MetaBox before registering it, just set the PostTypes it is applicable for: $f711_meta_boxes[] = array( ‘id’ => ‘details’, ‘title’ => __( ‘Details’, ‘f711_theme’ ), ‘pages’ => array( ‘publicity’ ), // change this values ‘context’ => ‘normal’, ‘priority’ => ‘high’, ‘fields’ => array( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Fischi ist’, ‘f711_theme’ ), ‘desc’ => … Read more
The meta_value field is longtext, which a quick google reports is 4,294,967,295 characters – I doubt you’re exceeding that. Chances are it’s an issue with PHP, specifically post_max_size – if this is less than the “huge amount of data” you are referring to, PHP will simply truncate $_POST and you end up with nothing.
@Jeffrey’s answer is correct is you are the one registering the post types, simply remove the support argument for comments. But if you want to remove it from all custom post types (that may be registered by plugins too) you can do: $cptslugs = get_post_types( array(‘public’=>false, ‘_builtin’ => false) , ‘names’, ‘and’); foreach ($cptslugs as … Read more
Storing of your own meta fields is typically a custom process, more so if you are using a third party framework. Technically it’s possible, but clunky: Hooking into save_post would allow you to check if meta is added to it If so you can immediately query for previous (if any) post that had it and … Read more
Template files are not the right place to add in functions like that. The template file isnt loaded until late in the hook/filter process. Your function should be in functions.php. This way it can be added in before your tempalte files load, and functions that are in use in them can be altered. Often times … Read more
Either the taxonomy is common, or it is not. In other words, you may have books and movies CPTs that have an author taxonomy for their authors (lets say screen play in case of movies, to make it real). In the real world there is no much sense to say that “mark” can be an … Read more
Yea. It seems everything is right. But I would prefer- if (empty($layout)) { $layout = “layout_1”; } instead of this- if ($layout == “”) { $layout = “layout_1”; } It’s the preferred method to test if the variable is empty or not. And I would also prefer- if ($layout === “layout_1” ) echo “checked” if … Read more
You should create a small custom function to check the current post (page or other post type) if is parent exist, like the follow function. /** * if the post is a subpage for ID. * * $post object The post. * * return boolean */ function is_child( $post ) { // If is sub_post … Read more
