This happens when an already serialized string get serialize again. Replace $categories = serialize($_POST[“vibe_quiz_tags”]); with $categories = $_POST[“vibe_quiz_tags”]; EDIT: As mentioned by czerspalace in the comments, the Function Reference for update_post_meta states that “this should be raw as opposed to sanitized for database queries”.
The problem here is order, the $post variable isn’t available from the moment WordPress is loaded, it needs to process the request, put together a database query, and retrieve the post first. Time travel is necessary for your code to work as you expected. Your themes functions.php and plugins will be loaded before this happens … Read more
You can use output buffering to achieve this effect: function get_comments_form() { ob_start(); comments_form(); $commentsform = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $commentsform; } $commentsform = get_comments_form();
I am not familiar with the plugin, but it seems unlikely that the $conditions array you’re adding to should contain any variety of WordPress query arguments. Further, referencing the $conditions array within a property that you’re setting on that very array won’t contain the new data you’ve added, but rather the array as it existed … Read more
I think the problem may be that the_post_thumbnail() doesn’t accept an ID as a parameter. Instead you should use get_the_post_thumbnail() which does accept an ID as a parameter: <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($authors_post->ID); ?>
No, that isn’t normal for 23 posts. Note that “posts” is pretty wide concept in modern WordPress. Many things are posts without being obvious as such, for example parts of navigation menus. While 60k entries does sound excessive for a small site, there is no telling without examining actual data to determine which post types … Read more
This is how I bootstrapped youtube embeds in one of my projects. /** * Responsive Youtube embeds. */ add_filter( ’embed_oembed_html’, function( $html, $url, $attr, $post_ID ) { if ( false !== stripos( $html, ‘<iframe ‘ ) && false !== stripos( $html, ‘.youtube.com/embed’ ) ) { $html = sprintf(‘<div class=”embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9″>%s</div>’, $html ); } return $html; … Read more
Check out the WP_Query reference. For parameters. Date Parameters. $args = array( ‘author’ => 123 , ‘date_query’ => array( array( ‘after’ => ‘January 1st, 2013’, ‘before’ => array( ‘year’ => 2013, ‘month’ => 2, ‘day’ => 28, ), ‘inclusive’ => true, ), ), ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); For the … Read more
You should be using get_the_terms(). wp_get_post_terms() queries the db to get post term info, where as get_the_terms() returns the post term objects directly from the post term cache and only queries the db if that info is not available. By default, all post’s terms are cached by the query being executed. EDIT I cannot comment … Read more
For getting the posts related to each category you need to use get_posts( $args ) function and in $args you can add your category_id $args = array ( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘category’ => $cat_ID, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ); $my_posts = get_posts( $args ); // return array of posts // storing all post ID in an … Read more
