I suggest using a WordPress cron job, in the form of a real server cron job (by default WordPress cronjobs are executed when a user visits the website). Setting up a cron job (the easy way): https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-cron-job/ Real cronjob via server crontab: https://easyengine.io/tutorials/wordpress/wp-cron-crontab/
Here’s the updated meta box callback function. I’ve used get_posts() instead of WP_Query as get_posts() is more performant as well as easy to use in this case. And removed get_post_custom() as it’ll fetch all the custom metadata when you don’t need them. So, I’ve replaced that with get_post_meta(). Hope your dropdown will work as expected … Read more
To make sure you’re getting the correct path to the video, pass the ID to get_attached_file(), and use that in wp_read_video_metadata(). wp_upload_dir() is for getting/creating a directory to write to now, so if the file has not been uploaded in the current month, the path will not be correct if you just add it to … Read more
I think you have the correct approach when you want to use a meta data value for it. I would do it the same way. I don’t quite know how downloads are arranged, but I think it shouldn’t be to hard to add an action which adds 1 to the count, after download. A server … Read more
You can use if else: <div class=”video-embed” style=”margin-top: 0px; z-index:102; margin-bottom: 0px;”> <?php $url1 = get_post_meta( $post->ID , ‘video_play’ , true ) ?: get_post_meta( $post->ID , ‘video_stop’ , true ) ?: false; if( $url1 ): $search=”#(.*?)(?:href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/302040/https?://)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtu\.be/”youtube\.com(?:/embed/|/v/|/watch?.*?v=))([\w\-]{10,12}).*#x”; $replace=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/$2″; $url = preg_replace($search,$replace,$url1); ?> <iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”<?php echo $url; ?>” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; encrypted-media” allowfullscreen></iframe> <?php else: echo … Read more
After the headers have been sent (output has been written to the screen) you can not use wp_redirect() try placing your code in the header.php before any output and see if that works well enough. If not you will have to hook into ‘send_headers’, ‘template_redirect’, or ‘init’ and check the values and redirect before any … Read more
I think you forgot the priority of hook and number of arguments otherwise code is perfect. If you can update post meta for custom post type then you refer this. https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/updated_(meta_type)_meta Try Like this: add_action( ‘updated_post_meta’, ‘bg_update’, 10, 4 ); For custom post type EX: abc <?php add_action( “updated_{$meta_type}_meta”, $function_name’, 10, 4 ); ?> <?php … Read more
First off, I’d recommend that you redirect this question to ACF’s forum on their website. It is very active and the best place to ask ACF questions. I’d search on there first. If you do need to submit a question on their forum, make sure you proofread your question before submitting and perhaps run it … Read more
Is there a size limit to the value you can save in a custom field? Not specifically, as Nathan says: Custom fields, or more specifically “post meta” is stored in the postmeta table, in the meta_value column which is normally specified as LONGTEXT which amounts to a storage capacity of roughly 4 GB. So it’s … Read more
By default meta values will be treated as strings, leading to the result that you get. As you can see from the codex on wp_query you can force a comparison with different formats by defining a meta_type. Like this: $query->set(‘meta_type’,’DATETIME’);
