List Custom Taxonomy Values according to a Post Meta Value

This will return an array of term objects, if you need these processed to be hierarchical or something, that’s pretty easy, I think the challenge you were having was getting the term objects. //get posts $args = array( //basic stuff ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, //meta query ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘your_key’, ‘value’ => ‘1’ … Read more

How to store post meta in an array?

From codex: $meta_value (mixed) (required) The value of the custom field you will add. An array will be serialized into a string. Default: None So <?php add_post_meta(7, ‘fruit’, ‘banana’, ‘apple’, ‘tornado’, ‘bob saget’) To grab them you can also use http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_custom_values besides just get_post_meta.

WordPress Menu Disappears when $query->query_vars[‘meta_key’] is set

Nav menus are also generated by a WP_Query, so in your pre_get_posts callback function you need to check if the $query you’re altering is the main query. The easiest way to do this would probably be to do this right at the beginning of the function: if ( ! $query->is_main_query() ) return $query; Also note … Read more

Reason action hook won’t work with update_post_meta from frontend form? Alternative?

The context of your code that fails isn’t entirely clear, but it’s failing because get_the_ID() won’t return a post ID when run on the init hook, because the main query hasn’t been executed yet.

update_post_meta for custom field not working upon form submission

The function signature for update_post_meta() looks as follows: update_post_meta( int $post_id, string $meta_key, mixed $meta_value, mixed $prev_value=”” ) So instead of update_post_meta( $post ); you need to use update_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘my_post_meta_key’, $content_you_want_to_add ); I can only assume that you want to add this description to post meta. For that you’d use update_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_my_post_description’, $entry[1] … Read more

Maintaining two permalink structures

I think your approach is not the good one. If I understand well, What you want to do is keeping the old permalinks for the old posts and stick with them, while having the new permalinks only for the new posts. You should consider having the new permalink structure for all the posts (old and … Read more
