I found an answer that works well. Using two dropdowns in a ‘cascading’ style, with the code in the gist below, users would pick from a list of parent terms first, then a second dropdown appears with the list of children. The key is that both the parent and the child terms are ‘selected’. Just … Read more
The problem is that in your calls to selected() you haven’t set the 3rd parameter to false. For both selected() and checked() if you don’t do this it will echo the attribute immediately, which won’t work properly if you’re using it inside a concatenated string. So change: selected( get_option(‘myplugin_admin_bar’), 1 ) To: selected( get_option(‘myplugin_admin_bar’), 1, … Read more
I did something like this when making custom reports for WooCommerce since the data was in tables not part of WordPress. My advice to you as well, I can’t tell all that you’re trying to accomplish here but research WP_Query a lot because most any WordPress query can be accomplished with it and ONLY if … Read more
The second parameter of selected() has to agree with the value attribute of the current <option>. So assuming you have stuffed $selected with the value given by the relevant get_post_meta(), the following should work for you: <label for=”myplugin_meta_box_select”>Status:</label> <select name=”myplugin_meta_box_select” id=”myplugin_meta_box_select”> <option value=”Approved” <?php selected( $selected, ‘Approved’ ); ?>>Approved</option> <option value=”In Progress” <?php selected( $selected, … Read more
To change <option value=”http://someurl”>item one</option> <option value=”http://someurl”>item two</option> <option value=”http://someurl”>item three</option> to <option value=”http://someurl”>1. item one</option> <option value=”http://someurl”>2. item two</option> <option value=”http://someurl”>3. item three</option> we can utilize the list_pages filter from the Walker_PageDropdown::start_el() method. Here’s an example: // Add filter add_filter( ‘list_pages’, ‘wpse_itemize’, 10, 2 ); // Display dropdown wp_dropdown_pages(); // Remove filter remove_filter( ‘list_pages’, … Read more
(I realize you’re leaning away from this, but maybe if you can get it working, it’s worthwhile. With the recent perfomance improvements in 3.4 for WP_Query, this could be worthwhile.) WP_Query is the right decision if this is a secondary loop. Otherwise, you might look into pre_get_posts. When you use WP_Query make sure that: You … Read more
Admin menu bar dropdown opens when I click on a form element (Chrome) [closed]
I would recommend doing it mostly in Javascript: Basic steps (pseudo code): On the archive page add check boxes <input type=”checkbox” name=”post-with-id-1″ value=”1″> next to each post and a submit button <input type=”submit” value=”Submit”> at the top or bottom of the page. In js, listen for clicks on the submit button. When it is clicked … Read more
