The first argument of array_merge is the array of old values pulled from the original post, not your new values, so I’d guess you’re passing an invalid post ID. In your array of new values, I think you want to set post ID to $page_check_404->ID, not $ss_404_post_id.
the parameters to remove_action are wrong, they should be exactly the same parameters that you used in add_action, first should be the hook and then the function name remove_action(‘save_post’,’save_details’);
I’ve used this to insert posts with ACF/postmeta data successfully, but please test it on a development site before deploying live, there might be some terrible assumptions. Generally, it assumes that you only have each name once, that is “myfield” doesn’t exist in two field groups with different meanings. $mycustomvalue = 123; $f_mycustomfield = get_acf_key_by_name(“mycustomfield”); … Read more
I wasn’t adding the ID into the new array. if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) == ‘equipment’ ) { $my_post = array(); $my_post[‘ID’] = $post_id; $my_post[‘post_title’] = get_field( ‘name’, $post_id ); wp_update_post( $my_post ); }
OK, this is possible, but it will be a little bit tricky and I would recommend a lot of testing after deploying this solution. Disclaimer: I use base64_encode and base64_decode as cipher/decipher functions, but of course you can change them to whatever you like. First part (encoding before post is stored in DB) is pretty … Read more
I’m sure you want to use the_content filter instead of the default_content filter (already mentioned by @jgraup) because what happens if the generated HTML changes? Then you’re stuck with it in your content. It’s better to add it dynamically. Here’s one suggestion: add_filter( ‘the_content’, function( $content) { if( ! in_the_loop() ) return $content; if( ‘property’ … Read more
You can use the $wp_error argument to return an error message. $post_id = wp_update_post( $my_post, true ); if ( is_wp_error( $post_id ) ) { echo $post_id->get_error_message(); } else { echo ‘true’; }
If you have access to remote MySQL, this MIGHT help you. I’ve done this a while ago when i had another issue with my hosting provider. Take a full backup of your WordPress files, but not your database. Copy them to your localhost. Now, instead of using a local database, in your wp-config.php file, set … Read more
How can I bulk update all posts without making changes?
wp_update_post() calls some hooks that $wpdb doesn’t on it’s own. You’ll have to do it on your own to make it compatible with other plugins. wp_update_post() calls some functions related to database entry sanitation, thumbnails, attachments, time (format, zone etc.), comment, taxonomy, meta, cache etc. So if you use $wpdb, make sure you handle all … Read more
