PHP support variable-lengths argument lists. Simply put you can pass as many additional arguments as you want to any function and PHP won’t even blink. If you look at the source of $wpdb->prepare() method it simply fetches all arguments with func_get_args() into variable and works with that. It doesn’t care about function signature (older or … Read more
You might try: SELECT NULL AS rank, player, points FROM my_table Then write a tiny loop to fill in the value for rank in each returned record?!?!? It’s a workaround rather than a solution but in the end, you’ll have what you need.
If I understand the question you are trying to show both post on single.php something like this should work as a second loop. Put This INSIDE the first loop. Do this so you can get the current post ID $parent_id=the_ID(); // Second Loop $query = new WP_Query( array ( ‘post_type’ => ‘TYPE1’, ‘meta_key’ => $parent_id … Read more
If you want the total count of all the published posts in a particular category you can try this. $all_posts = new WP_Query( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘cat’ => 3 ) ); echo $all_posts->post_count; or $all_posts = new WP_Query( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘category_name’ => ‘uncategorized’ ) ); echo … Read more
Permalink Error I thought I was using a basic permalink, but forgot that I had used a custom permalink structure on this particular website. The custom permalink I used was %postname%. I switched it to the month and name option and now everything works. Sorry for the bogus question.
Instead of using $wpdb->query(), use $wpdb->get_results(). This method allows you to specify a return type so the query is returned as an associative array. For example … $results = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT * FROM mb_download_manager WHERE filename=”” . $namemeta . “.zip””, ARRAY_A ); This will return you an indexed array of associative arrays … so you … Read more
In the success part of your code, you can build an array representing a post, and use wp_insert_post as such : Example $mypost = array( ‘post_title’ => ‘My Title’, ‘post_type’ => ‘page’ //… add other fields according to your form ); $mypost_id = wp_insert_post( $mypost ); //Returns new post id on success Any field you … Read more
wp_update_user() is in /wp-includes/user.php lines 1401-1439. It uses wp_insert_user() (same file, lines 1254-1380) to update the existing user or add a new one if the user doesn’t exist. That function is where the various filters and actions affecting user account info live, and shows everything you can do to the $user object.
Include wp-load.php, not wp-blog-header.php. Better yet, hook onto the execution of a standard WordPress request and die early. isset( $_GET[‘my_conditional_check’] ) && add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘my_xml_output’ ); function my_xml_output() { // do my stuff exit; } This’ll run WordPress, then my_xml_output(), then die before the request is actually parsed & the template is loaded/rendered: http://example.com/?my_conditional_check
Sharding is probably not what you want, especially if the admin area is the only problem. If things are working fine on the front end, you’re probably okay. How many posts are we talking about total? Some things worth trying (please back up your DB first!): 1. Remove all old post revisions A quick count … Read more
