Ordering posts by custom field named “date” in backend

The main issue in your code is this part: $query->set(‘orderby’,’meta_value_date’); whereby you should use meta_value and not meta_value_date. (There is meta_value_num, but that’s not suitable for used with sorting by dates.) Then make sure the meta_type is set to DATE (which yes, you already done it correctly), and use the right date format — 10132020 … Read more

Does using custom taxonomy is more CPU efficient than using meta_data?

Yes and no. The post meta table is optimised for retrieving a posts keys/meta values when you already know the post ID. It is not optimised for searching and filtering. The taxonomy tables are optimised for grouping and filtering, searching. If you want to find all posts that have X, or Y, X and Y … Read more

meta box & callback function

Using classes like you are, your callback function is implemented wrong: add_meta_box( ‘post_format_box’ ,__( ‘Post Format Content’, self::LANG ) ,@$this->render() ,’post’ ,’advanced’ ,’high’ ); Should be: add_meta_box( ‘post_format_box’ ,__( ‘Post Format Content’, self::LANG ) ,array($this, ‘render’) ,’post’ ,’advanced’ ,’high’ );

Custom Post type forgetting data

In the function hooked onto save_posts you should make sure that you check that the action wasn’t triggered by an auto-save routine. I suspect that the reason why the post ‘forgets’ the data is that the post auto-saves, and updates the post-meta with blank data. To do this: function save_details($post_id){ //Make sure you check this … Read more

Adding new value to existing meta key

Use the following instead of add_post_meta: update_post_meta($post_id, ‘when’ $date); add_post_meta does just that, adds a new meta key every time, including duplicates in your case. update_post_meta also incorporates add_post_meta if a key doesn’t exist, but updates an existing key. For reference: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_post_meta If you want to store rolling dates in an array, you would simply … Read more

Using preg_replace to filter custom textarea

preg_replace expects it’s regex to be surrounded by a character. Usually that’s a slash, like this: ‘/.*/’ When you do this: preg_replace(‘%%PROPOSAL_LINK_URL%%’, $some_text, $replacement); preg_replace thinks the first two % are your surrounding characters, and fails because of an unrecognized modifier. This is easy to test: $ php -a Interactive shell php > echo preg_replace(‘%%PROPOSAL_LINK_URL%%’, … Read more
