It depends on how you are going to use the stored data. If you want to run complex queries against the values, use a custom table with indexes optimized for those queries. If you will always just fetch all the values for a given object, create a non-public custom post type, and store the data … Read more
I may be late to this party, but to stop plugin activation and have WordPress show an error message where the admin notices go, I simply output an error message and terminate execution. This has the added advantage of playing nice with wp-cli: Example: class testPlugin() { … static function activate() { //[do some stuff … Read more
A GROUP BY statement can group your posts after the JOIN. For WordPress you can use the posts_groupby filter. add_filter( ‘posts_groupby’, ‘my_post_limits’ ); function my_post_limits($groupby) { global $pagenow, $wpdb; if ( is_admin() && $pagenow == ‘edit.php’ && $_GET[‘post_type’]==’listings’ && $_GET[‘s’] != ” ) { $groupby = “$wpdb->posts.ID”; } return $groupby; }
get_the_ID() returns the ID of the current post by way of get_post. Get post assumes the current post to be the global variable $post unless passed parameters specifying otherwise. That means that get_the_ID() should return the same value as contained in $post->ID. Using get_the_ID() lets you avoid dealing with the global directly, though you are … Read more
Excellent responses on WP Hackers: http://lists.automattic.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/2012-June/043213.html What you’re doing with that query, is loading EVERY matching post into memory, including the full post contents. As you can imagine, this is probably quite a lot of items. You can pass ‘fields’ => ‘ids’ into WP_Query to simply return a list of matching post_ids instead, which should … Read more

If you download my Free Symple Shortcodes plugin you can see a live implementation as well. Instead of having the user select the posts to … Read more
Interesting Question! I’ve never seen repeatable fields used in Widgets. Giving a full Answer would require too much work/time, so I’ll give you links to the resources I know, and hopefully you’ll make this work and share the solution with us 😉 All this examples deal with Meta Boxes, you’ll need to copy the jQuery … Read more
I would only increase the version number if users needed to download the plugin again. The “Tested up to” variable is not used when the plugin is installed, only when people want to install it or want to upgrade. In that case, the information comes from the server anyway, so you don’t need to force … Read more
Insert this into your wp-config.php // Enable WP_DEBUG mode define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true); // Disable display of errors and warnings define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false); @ini_set(‘display_errors’,0); Before /* That’s all, stop editing!
