All you need to do is to use save_post hook. Here’s how: function change_post_status_based_on_custom_field( $post_id ) { // If this is just a revision, don’t do anything. if ( wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ) return; // Get field value $value = get_post_meta( $post_id, ‘played’, true ); $status = $value ? ‘publish’ : ‘draft’; // If status … Read more
If you just want to return published posts, you can exclude the ‘post_status’ argument as by default it will just return published posts only. Having said that, the array works for me too though.
If you want to target only one specific status change is probably easy / efficient use the {$old_status}_to_{$new_status} filter, in your case: add_action(‘draft-to-pending’, ‘do_something’); add_action(‘auto-draft-to-pending’, ‘do_something’); function do_something ( $post ) { // do something with the $post object }
I’ve done it. Here is the post with answers on publishing a post marked as scheduled. Been running the code for 2 years on the site in question and it’s reliable. Marking future dated post as published
Not exactly ‘solved’ — I still do not know why wp_update_post() did not hit the transition of {old status}to{new status} For my situation I simply added the below function to a unique instance of the button above. Not ideal, but hey it works.
IMO, the only draw-back of the default Post Revisions is that it stores the auto-save actions too. But, it does have a history of what changed and who changed, and seems to fullfil the OP requirements. If some change needs to be applied to this default Meta Box, it should be removed and recreated, as … Read more
From inside a comment Loop… $author_data = get_user_by(‘login’,$comment->comment_author); if (!empty($author_data)) { var_dump($author_data->roles); } $author_data->roles is an array so you will need to work out what you want to do with that. That is, print them all? Print the highest ranking role? if (array_intersect(array(‘administrator’,’moderator’),$author_data->roles)) { echo ‘admin’; } elseif (array_intersect(array(‘something’,’else’),$author_data->roles)) { echo ‘something else’; }
The check is invoked after a call to get_option( ‘wypiekacz_allow_skip_rules’ ). When you filter pre_option_wypiekacz_allow_skip_rules and returns something different than FALSE, it should stop the check early. Not tested. add_filter( ‘pre_option_wypiekacz_allow_skip_rules’, ‘wpse_100503_wypiekacz_for_drafts_only’ ); function wpse_100503_wypiekacz_for_drafts_only( $bool ) { if ( ‘draft’ === get_post_status( $GLOBALS[‘post’] ) ) return $bool; return 0; } To prevent the post … Read more
Open up the /wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/functions.php file and change the line $format_prefix = ( has_post_format( ‘chat’ ) || has_post_format( ‘status’ ) ) ? _x( ‘%1$s on %2$s’, ‘1: post format name. 2: date’, ‘twentythirteen’ ): ‘%2$s’; to $format_prefix = ( has_post_format( ‘chat’ ) || has_post_format( ‘status’ ) ) ? _x( ‘%1$s on %2$s – show/leave comments’, ‘1: … Read more
I think you need a join. $myquery = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT meta_value FROM $wpdb->postmeta INNER JOIN $wpdb->posts ON $wpdb->postmeta.post_id = $wpdb->posts.ID WHERE meta_key = %s AND post_status IN (‘publish’)”, $metakey ) );
