I think you need a join. $myquery = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT meta_value FROM $wpdb->postmeta INNER JOIN $wpdb->posts ON $wpdb->postmeta.post_id = $wpdb->posts.ID WHERE meta_key = %s AND post_status IN (‘publish’)”, $metakey ) );
The problem was with $this->setup_links(); which used add_action(“publish_post”, array(&$this, “saving_posts”)); instead of add_action(“save_post”, array(&$this, “saving_posts”)); Apparently publish_post doesn’t work with custom post types.
You are using $wpdb incorrectly Take a look at these lines: $row = $newdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM chi_clients WHERE accountNum=’$acctNum'”,ARRAY_A); $name= $row[‘lastName’] . “, ” . $row[‘firstName’]; $wpdb->get_results is going to return an array of “rows”.

WordPress plugin tables become corrupt
You can simplify that by using $wpdb->get_var. $total = $wpdb->get_var( “SELECT COUNT( * ) AS total FROM tableA” ); echo “Total Records:” . $total; However, the code you’ve got should work– either version of it. I tested both. The only thing I notice is that the first version of the code should give you Array … Read more
why is $wpdb->update() causing a DB error from within wp_set_password()
There’s error in your query statement. Change to this $post_id = $wpdb->get_var( “SELECT post_id FROM $customtable WHERE uniquecode=”$uniquecode” AND blog_id = ‘$user_blog_id'” );
