This is a limitation of how showing/hiding fields works with Javascript, and how WordPress saves meta-data. Probably the best way to handle it is to use the same type of switch logic where you want to use the data. something like this: switch ( get_field(‘radio_field’) ) { case ‘first_option’: // get data from your first … Read more
If you’d use the get_categories() function to get all the categories, you can then loop through them. Partial pseudo code, but this will do the trick: $categories = get_categories( array() ); $colors = array(); foreach ( $categories as $category ) { $cat_meta = get_option( ‘meta_field_’ . $category->slug ); if (isset($cat_meta[‘color’])){ $colors[ $category->term_id ] = $cat_meta[‘color’]; … Read more
Here you go (you’re really close): INSERT INTO wp_postmeta (post_id, meta_key, meta_value) SELECT ID AS post_id, ‘customer_reviews’ AS meta_key, ‘On_or_delete’ AS meta_value FROM wp_posts WHERE wp_posts.post_content LIKE ‘%Customer Reviews%’ AND wp_posts.post_type=”post”; ` Edit: You could also just change IS IN to IN. I rewrote the from part of the query since a subquery was unnecessary … Read more
OK, just don’t use the_meta function and display these fields with your custom code. You can use something like this: function my_filtered_meta($disabled_metas =array()) { if ( $keys = get_post_custom_keys() ) { echo “<ul class=”post-meta”>\n”; foreach ( (array) $keys as $key ) { $keyt = trim($key); if ( is_protected_meta( $keyt, ‘post’ ) || in_array($keyt, $disabled_metas ) … Read more
You can use get_author_posts_url() or get_the_author_meta(): $values = get_field( ‘editor’ ); if ( $values ) { $editors = array(); foreach ( $values as $value ) { $link = get_author_posts_url( $value[‘ID’] ); //get the url $nicename = $value[‘user_nicename’]; $editors[] = sprintf( ‘<a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/106854/%s”>%s</a>’, $link, $nicename ); //create a link for each author } echo ‘Edited by: … Read more
I put this together for you as a proof-of-concept. This class will migrate both attachment IDs and external image URLs into your featured images. class Featured_Image_Migration{ #Instantiate the migration by hitting /wp-admin/?migrate-post-meta=foobar protected $key = ‘migrate-post-meta’; protected $secret=”foobar”; #This is your legacy meta_key protected $meta_key = ‘mainimg_medium’; function __construct(){ #Force this to run last so … Read more
Try, not tested, add_filter(‘the_content_feed’,’add_my_fields_to_rss’); function add_my_fields_to_rss($content) { global $post; $mymeta = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘my_meta’, true); $content .= $mymeta; return $content; }
your options are this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/ and this http://wordpress.org/plugins/types/ Both will allow you to add different custom fields depending on which custom post type you like the field to appear.. (Though I prefer the first one because it is more flexible for me)
I don’t think there is a built in mechanism for searching the meta table for a key/value pair other than a full blown post search with WP_Query. I’d consider that overkill. Just query the table: $unique = $wpdb->get_var( “SELECT meta_id FROM {$wpdb->postmeta} WHERE meta_key = ‘unique_code’ AND meta_value=”{$random}” LIMIT 1″ ); I can’t help but … Read more
ACF using milliseconds is not standard for timestamps, and nor is it useful. How much accuracy do you need? Bear in mind that converting to something like yyyymmdd will not accommodate timezones. If you have access to PHPMyAdmin (or similar) and know your way around SQL, running a quick query would probably be the easiest … Read more
