The most comprehensive editorial system for wordpress I’ve found is “Edit Flow” http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/edit-flow/ Adds extensive post statuses, an independent editorial commenting and messaging system, and much more…
The following query retrieves the oldest post of a specified user/author: $user_id = 42; // or whatever it is $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘author’ => $user_id, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ); $first_post = new WP_Query($args); if ($first_post->have_posts()) { $first_post->the_post(); // Now you can use `the_title();` etc. wp_reset_postdata(); } … Read more
The arguments you are using are wrong. They should be: $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => ’10’, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ =>’publish’, ‘tax_query’ => array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’, ‘field’ => ‘id’, ‘terms’ => array( 10, 11, 57 ), ‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’, ) ); Or shorter: $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => ’10’, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ … Read more
Your action is triggered in wp_transition_post_status() which gets called by wp_insert_post() before the action save_post is triggered. save_post is the typical action to handle custom fields. ACF also works on this. Basically you have to wait until ACF is done with its stuff, means you’ll have to hook to save_post with a priority > 10 … Read more
First of all you have to understand that when we update a post, wp_update_post function is called. But due to a bit not optimal design of WP core, the actual saving is processed by wp_insert_post function. See it in trac on line 3006. Ok, next lets see what is inside of wp_insert_post function. As you … Read more
publish_post will give you a second parameter if you ask for it. Notice the fourth parameter of the add_action call. That is your post object. function run_on_publish_wpse_100421( $postid, $post ) { if (‘news’ == $post->post_type) // your code } } add_action(‘publish_post’,’run_on_publish_wpse_100421′,1,2);
Not sure the exact answer but I have a theory that it is a 24 hour window. You can get around relying on wp-cron and someone visiting your site every day by having your server handle your cron. Assuming you have cpanel, it’s fairly easy to do. Then just have this run every 12 or … Read more
Although the name of the function wp_publish_post() suggests that it can be used to publish a post it should obviously not be used to publish a draft post programmatically. The way to do so is to use wp_update_post() and set the post status manually to publish: <?php // Update post with the ID 42 $postData … Read more
Hook into post_submitbox_misc_actions and print the checkbox: add_action( ‘post_submitbox_misc_actions’, function() { ?> <div class=”misc-pub-section”> <label><input type=”checkbox”> click me</label> </div> <?php }); Wrap the code in a <div class=”misc-pub-section”>, otherwise the spacing looks a little bit weird. Examples: language selector, noindex checkbox, public preview checkbox.
Draft previews Take a quick look at this chunk of core code in query.php which [Checks] post status to determine if post should be displayed. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.1/wp-includes/query.php#L2658 if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // User must be logged in to view unpublished posts. $this->posts = array(); } …is what makes it somewhat non-straightforward to bypass for … Read more
