I recommend you look into the get_{$meta_type}_metadata filter. This is a basic hook setup to return a dynamic post meta value: <?php add_filter( “get_post_metadata”, function( $points, $post_id, $meta_key, $single ){ if ( ‘points’ == $meta_key && $single ) { update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘rank’, calculate_post_rank( $post_id, $points ) ); } return $points; }, 10, 4 );
In your loop while(have_posts() ) : the_post(); you are unconditionally going through all posts, but since the loop stops after the_post() nothing actually happens. So that’s where the condition has to go: while(have_posts() ) { the_post(); if ($daysleft >= 0) { … other actions } } Your code looks a bit incomplete to me, so … Read more
Ok, so here’s the right answer, with the full code for an ACF Repeater Field: $count = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘items’, true ); if ( $count ) { for ( $i = 0; $i < $count; $i++ ) { $item_100x100 = intval( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘items_’ . $i . ‘_item_100x100’, true ) ); $item_200x200 = intval( get_post_meta( … Read more
Since evasmat_posted_on() is a function in your theme, you don’t need to use get_post_meta to get the date. You can call the function directly so: function evasmat_posts_shortcode(){ $q = new WP_Query( array( ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘4’) ); $list=”<div class=”cards”>”; while($q->have_posts()) : $q->the_post(); $list .= ‘<div class=”card”>’ . get_the_post_thumbnail() . ‘<h2 class=”entry-title-index”><a href=”‘.get_permalink().'”>’.get_the_title() .'</a></h2>’ … Read more
Using $_REQUEST is a bad practice. Between post requests, get requests, and cookies you can not be certain that you are processing actual user input and not some garbage left in the URL or in the browser’s memory. Meta boxes are “posted” so use only $_POST when processing them. The other aspect of your code … Read more
I don’t see anything wrong with the widget class. The problem you have is that you are displaying the widget area, that contains the widgets, twice in your sidebar.php: <aside id=”secondary” class=”widget-area col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12″ role=”complementary”> <div class=”col-lg-6 col-md-12″> <?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘main-widget’ ); // this will display all the widgets in your main-widget sidebar ?> … Read more
One of the Carbon Fields developers here. Thank you for your feedback! Currently, the Carbon Fields stores only the keys and they don’t have a built-in method to retrieve the selected values from the options array. You can pass a callable which returns an array with the options as an argument to the add_options method. … Read more
Here’s an answer to question 1 that uses register_post_meta. It’s also the start of an answer to question 2 by use of the prepare_callback option in show_in_rest . add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpse_89033_register_custom_meta’ ); function wpse_89033_register_custom_meta() { $post_types = [ ‘post’, ‘page’, ‘attachment’, ]; foreach ( $post_types as $post_type ) { register_post_meta( $post_type, ‘_custom_key’, array( ‘type’ => … Read more
The remove_filter() is necessary to avoid the callback from being called recursively, which would result in a memory issue due to a never-ending function execution. And that recursion could happen because the callback is hooked to get_post_metadata which is invoked via the get_metadata() function which the callback calls. So you need to first “unhook”/unregister the … Read more
Hi @webcodeslinger: Here’s what a basic MySQL query for loading News and Events would look like (this is greatly simplified from what WordPress actually does): SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type IN (‘news’,’events’) What you want instead is something like this (there are more performant ways to do this in MySQL but they are more … Read more
