post-meta

Meta box with front-end styling

You don’t need a checkbox, you can code one if you want, but you can use the default Custom Fields. Make sure they are enabled: Then add some data on the posts you want to have a specific style on, you will need to add this to each post you want to have set to … Read more

Dynamically get the meta key value of a menu item based on it’s post ID

This code: wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ =>false, ‘theme_location’ => ‘main_menu’, ‘menu_id’ => ‘main_menu’, ‘link_before’ => get_post_meta($item->object_id, ‘_menu_item_img’)))); Makes me think that the problem in on the front end when you try to display the values. For readability (and without the extra )): wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ =>false, ‘theme_location’ => ‘main_menu’, ‘menu_id’ => ‘main_menu’, ‘link_before’ => get_post_meta($item->object_id, ‘_menu_item_img’) … Read more

Update value of a associative array with update_post_meta

This is plain PHP (logic): foreach ($existing_list as $key => $value) if (isset($existing_list[$key][$add_to_ID])) $existing_list[$key][$add_to_ID] = $note; What you did before was not update the sub-element with key 321 for each element but set the sub-element with that particular key for each element—which is in essence: update where already defined, define otherwise.

Displaying values from related field – if empty shows current post type’s link and title

get_post_meta() should only return false under a couple of circumstances: 269 function get_metadata($meta_type, $object_id, $meta_key = ”, $single = false) { 270 if ( !$meta_type ) 271 return false; 272 273 if ( !$object_id = absint($object_id) ) 274 return false; https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.8.1/src/wp-includes/meta.php#L269 I don’t see how $meta_type could be wrong since it is hard-coded into get_post_meta(): … Read more

How can I use ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’ to order by the numerical value even if the value starts with a word?

If you look at the 50+ similar questions on Stack Overflow you’ll see that you can only do so with considerable difficulty, and you won’t have a very efficient query once you get it working. MySQL just isn’t built to sort that way, and honestly the sort pattern you want is really very peculiar anyway. … Read more

The loop starting at a certain ID

You can use posts_where hook to achieve this add_filter( ‘posts_where’ , ‘posts_where’ ); function posts_where( $where ) { global $wpdb; $start = $query->get(‘ID_VARIABLE_HERE’); // add any condition if you have if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query()){ $where .= ” AND {$wpdb->posts}.ID >= $start”; } return $where; }

Stop `update_post_meta` from working each time page refreshes?

Looking over it again, it seems as though you’re inserting the post twice. wp_insert_post returns the following (from the codex): The ID of the post if the post is successfully added to the database. On failure, it returns 0 if $wp_error is set to false, or a WP_Error object if $wp_error is set to true. … Read more

Declaring a var, placing it in a query and using the output of the query?

First, this is confusing: $result = $newdb->get_results(“SELECT “.$column1.”,”.$column2.” FROM members”); $columnq = $newdb->get_results(“SELECT “.$column1.” FROM members”); $columnq2 = $newdb->get_results(“SELECT “.$column2.” FROM members”); You should only need the first of those or the last two (with one alteration). Secondly, get_results will return an array or an object (default), so using it as you do here isn’t … Read more
