get_post_meta takes 3 params, not two: get_post_meta( int $post_id, string $key = ”, bool $single = false ) As you can see, the third param is false by default. It means, that if you don’t pass it, the function will return an array with all custom fields for that key. If you have only one meta field with key prep_time, you’ll get: Array( … Read more
Actually, your code is working, as long as $val == ‘on’. Did you try debugging by doing echo $val ? If it’s still not working, try hard refreshing (Ctrl + F5) your webpage, checkboxes tend to keep their state on normal refresh (F5).

You shouldn’t change serialised PHP data structures directly. Serialised data contains the length of each value, and by changing a section of text, that length is no longer correct, and PHP runs into a fatal error and crashes.

Lists of items are already implemented in WP core. They’re called custom menus. They are stored as a custom post type + taxonomy. UPDATE: I had assumed that your list items would be other posts, but I’m getting the impression that you just need them to be strings. In this case, menus would be overkill … Read more

And as for including the file over and over you could use get_template_part() to include a file once which will hold the entire loop (a good example can be … Read more

I think I know what you mean, and if that is the case it’s actually a straightforward operation. Firstly get all the object_ids from the term_relationship table. $results = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT `object_id` FROM $wpdb->term_relationships WHERE `term_taxonomy_id` = 18”); And then run through each of those values and update_post_meta to 18. foreach ( $results as $result ) … Read more
The date format is incorrect. I’m not sure how you have stored the date, but the format you’ve used in the query, date(“MM d yy”) outputs ‘MarMar 07 1212’. It shouldn’t really matter that the input is being done by jQuery datepicker: The input should be in a pre-specified format – so you can interpret … Read more

Try globalizing $post inside of event-item.php. Also: be sure to call wp_reset_postdata() after you close your $loop while loop. e.g.: <!– event-item.php –> <?php // globalize $post global $post; ?> <div id=”event-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>> <div class=”event-date”><?php echo $event_date; ?></div> <div class=”event_time”><?php echo $event_time; ?></div> <div class=”event-speaker”><?php echo $event_speaker; ?></div> <div class=”event-title”><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/49285/<?php … Read more
