Try this inside save_post but please note the code is not tested $old = get_post_meta($post_id, ‘products’); $new = isset ( $_POST[‘products’] ) ? $_POST[‘products’] : array(); if ( empty ($new) ) { // no products selected: completely delete alla meta values for the post delete_post_meta($post_id, ‘products’); } else { $already = array(); if ( ! … Read more
You aren’t retrieving the saved data and populating the form. function swpd_render_info_fields() { ?> <label for=”swpd_comany_addr”>Company Address</label> <input type=”text” name=”swpd_company_addr” id=”swpd_company_addr” /> <?php } There is nothing in that function that would insert your saved data. You just write a blank form every time. You need to be conditionally populating the input value. function swpd_render_info_fields($post) … Read more
$myterms = get_terms($taxonomies, $args); returns an array of term objects. Use $term->term_id as option value … “<option value=”$term->term_id”>”. esc_html( $term_name ) . “</option>” … and store that ID, not the name. Names can change, the IDs will stay the same – unless someone deletes a term and creates a new one with the same name. … Read more
If you need to search by your meta_key/meta_value then do not store them in a single key. If you store as a single key then you are going to have to store your data as serialized string, or something similar. The only way you can search that would be via an inefficient %LIKE% query which … Read more
Check your variables before you work with them. Your save function gets a parameter $post_id. Use it. From my meta box class for a check box: /** * Saves the content to the post meta. * * @return void */ public function save( $post_id ) { $this->is_allowed_save( $post_id ) and update_post_meta( $post_id, $this->vars[‘key’], empty ( … Read more
Checking if meta values exist You can use get_posts() (or the WP_Query object) to query all posts which match the post meta you want to save. You will need to specify the post status (i.e. which statuses are you willing to ignore). Below is the untested code to this. (For completeness I’ve left in arguments … Read more
Those transition post hooks run after the post is saved. You will have to interrupt the process earlier. I would hook to wp_insert_post_data. function minWord($data){ if (current_user_can(‘contributor’)) { $num = 150; //set this to the minimum number of words if (str_word_count($data[‘post_content’]) < $num) { $data[‘post_status’] = ‘draft’; } } return $data; } add_action(‘wp_insert_post_data’,’minWord’); Seems to … Read more
You can technically make a XHR to post.php via JavaScript. Below is a proof-of-concept for saving/editing posts only. I haven’t tested it at all, so I’m sure you will need to tweak it. I wanted to give you a basic workflow for accomplishing something like this. You can take it and run with it if … Read more
I had something similar going on when I tried to use the wp_editor() function while inside a custom metabox. It was wanting to save multiple times. Take a look at this. // SAVE Metabox for admin response add_action(‘post_updated’, ‘display_jwl_wp_etickets_response_meta_box_save’); function display_jwl_wp_etickets_response_meta_box_save( $post_id ){ if( defined( ‘DOING_AUTOSAVE’ ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return; if( !isset( $_POST[‘jwl_wp_etickets_editor_box_nonce_check’] ) … Read more
This seems to be a core bug, spotted at 4.5 as well. Although documentation implies otherwise, you can not select in practice terms of non hierarchical taxonomies with the “checkoxed” metabox, the only working option is the “tag” style metabox.
