post-meta

Why can my filter query SOME metadata but not other metadata?

Your query should work as is. To test this, I created 4 posts, and then using WP CLI, ran: wp post meta add 10 boxzilla_options “testingtesting123” Where post 10 is a post with the title test. 3 other posts existed that did not have the post meta. To test that the post meta key/value pair … Read more

why is my postmeta table is so heavy

Many of the Page builder plugins records page/post specific data in the meta data of the Post/Page which is saved in wp_postmeta table. Similarly, you are using Elementor Pro plugin which is saving post configuration data there. IMO, You should not be worried about this data otherwise you can contact plugin author to optimize it.

Performance considerations – postmeta table versus new table for custom posts with foreign keys?

I can`t say this is the best solution but I know you can’t go wrong with a structure like wp_postmeta. I’ve done some custom work with GravityForms and they now use a similar structure. Instead of using postmeta there is an “entries” table. So with each form submission, there is an entry_id and multiple different … Read more

What is proper filter or hook action to add data to the $post object?

According to https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_post/ (looking at the source code) you could use wp_insert_post_data link and inject your relation, whenever a post is inserted. $post is usually a global variable though when a page is loaded, which you can adjust using the_post link

Adding Facebook’s image and meta description retrieval capabilities to a WordPress post

I believe Facebook uses the Open Graph protocol for this. Basically, a site that provides certain Open Graph meta tags can have the data that these tags refer to appear nicely formatted on Facebook. Example from the Open Graph protocol site: <html prefix=”og: http://ogp.me/ns#”> <head> <title>The Rock (1996)</title> <meta property=”og:title” content=”The Rock” /> <meta property=”og:type” … Read more

How to retrieve all meta data directly from the $post object? Such as $post->related_topics?

By calling $post->related_topics you are using the magic functions of the object ( __get and __isset ) To make it simple, behind the scenes it is the same as : get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘related_topics’, true ); So you are just abstracting the use of the function get_post_meta. And as you can see, the third argument is … Read more

Show posts from WP Custom Post Type selected from a field in a metabox

This issue has been solved by changing the code that displays posts a little. <?php $albumsongs = get_posts( array(‘post_type’ => ‘song’, ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘meta_key’ => ‘select_song_album’, ‘meta_value’ => get_the_ID(),) ); foreach( $albumsongs as $post ){ setup_postdata($post); ?> <div> <span><?php the_title(); ?></span> <span><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/352340/<?php the_permalink(); ?>”>View</a></span> </div> <?php } wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Custom Field used to allow a Free Story; no longer works

First @TomJNowell is 100 percent right. It was the PHP and my ignorance of it. Putting in the following code from a year-old backup seems to have fixed the issue in question, if not the underlying improvements that need to be made: <?php $key = ‘Free Story’; $themeta = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, TRUE); if($themeta != ”) … Read more
