post-meta

Query posts according to specific post meta values

Your syntax is complete wrong in your meta_query. A key/value pair in an array should be in the format of ‘key’ => ‘value’. Your format is ‘key’, ‘value’ which in context of an array translate to 0 => ‘key’, 1 => ‘value’. That is why your meta_query does not work. Your failure is also due … Read more

Is it possible to retrieve all posts with a certain value for metadata?

I am assuming your custom post type is also “series”. Can you try this, it should work. $args = [ ‘post_type’ => ‘series’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘meta_query’ => [ [ ‘key’ => ‘series’, ‘value’ => 19, ‘compare’ => ‘=’, ‘type’=>’NUMERIC’ ] ], ]; $posts = new WP_Query( $args ); or you can simple use: $args … Read more

Filter date from post meta when date is in string format

If you want to compare dates in a MySQL statement, you should store dates and times using MySQL datetime format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (PHP format Y-m-d H:i:s) Then, you can compare dates easily, and ‘type’ => ‘date’ in the meta query argument should work as expected: $start_date = date(‘Y-m-d’, strtotime($date.” +15 days”)); $end_date = date(‘Y-m-d’,strtotime($date.” -15 … Read more

Check if post with same meta value exists

Try below code. $args = array( ‘fields’ => ‘ids’, ‘post_type’ => ‘numbers’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘number’, ‘value’ => $number ) ) ); $my_query = new WP_Query( $args ); if( empty($my_query->have_posts()) ) { $post_id = wp_insert_post(array ( ‘post_type’ => ‘numbers’, ‘post_title’ => $name, ‘post_content’ => $details, ‘post_status’ => ‘draft’, ‘tax_input’ => $custom_tax, )); … Read more

Post meta as array looks like string instead of array

Your data will be serialized, if you save non-scalar values (e.g. array, object) as post meta. You must unserialize it: $subs = get_post_meta( $post->ID ); $subs[‘_q1_subs’][0] = unserialize($subs[‘_q1_subs’][0]);

Best way to store everyday post views?

Put simply, you don’t, and you shouldn’t The Problems Race Conditions Make the Data Super Unreliable Updating post meta, options, terms, etc is not an atomic operation. You need to fetch the view count, add 1 to it, then send it back to the database. During that process, another page load is occuring which does … Read more

Stop sending email everytime I updates my post

You need to use {old_status}to{new_status} hook. And use draft and publish statuses. This hook will only be executed when your post will change status from draft to publish. function wpse_288250_send_email( $post ) { $post_id = $post->ID; if( wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ) { return; } $post_url = get_permalink( $post_id ); $subject=”Your post is published!”; $message = … Read more

Unique meta_key with array value vs repeated meta_key with single values

Neither option are the correct option for your use case Your question is barking up the wrong tree, because you neglected to mention that you intend to search for these posts based on the values the meta holds. If you’re displaying a post, you can use either method, though the first is cleaner/simpler to handle … Read more

How can I change the tag contents of individual WordPress posts?

I would read this article, its from Yoast. I don’t think you are understanding what the focus keyword feature does. This article talks about that as well as how adding the keyword meta tag is a waste of time (in most cases). I wouldn’t worry about adding it BUT if you still want to I … Read more
