SQL query for renaming the posts: UPDATE `wp_posts` SET `post_type` = ‘<new post type name>’ WHERE `post_type` = ‘<old post type name>’; SQL query for renaming taxonomy: UPDATE `wp_term_taxonomy` SET `taxonomy` = ‘<new taxonomy name>’ WHERE `taxonomy` = ‘<old taxonomy name>’; That should take care of all of the database areas. Just remember to match … Read more
First of all, if you want to show taxonomy metabox only to your custom post type, then register the taxonomy to only that custom post type by passing the custom post type name as argument in the register_taxonomy() function. By doing this, the taxonomy metabox appears only to custom post type. If you don’t want … Read more
Is this function really for modifying post types Yes. and if so, can you simply redeclare a couple arguments and leave the rest alone? No. If you want to modify arguments to a post type, you need to use get_post_type_object to get the post type object, modify what you want in it, then re-register it … Read more
I wound up working on the exact same thing and this post was very helpful. I used Custom Fields and here is the code that I used to create a list of all events greater than the current date. Note the extra taxonomy based filters. <?php // Let’s get the data we need to loop … Read more
Understanding the internals The “sort” order of adjacent (next/prev) posts is not really a sort “order”. It’s a separate query on each request/page, but it sorts the query by the post_date – or the post parent if you have a hierarchical post as currently displayed object. When you take a look at the internals of … Read more
After a quick chat with Magicroundabout who pointed out a useful resource from Justin Tadlock, it turns out that capabilities for custom post types don’t actually exist unless you use add_cap to the role, for example for the following custom post type: add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_cpt_gallery’ ); function register_cpt_gallery() { $labels = array( ‘name’ => __( … Read more
OK – in the end turned out to be fairly simple – as I’d had some kind of mental block – menu_order is a variable in the $post object (thanks to @brady for reminding me of that). @scribu’s post on creating sortable column values then gives the rest. So, assuming the custom post type is … Read more
Yes. When you register your post type you need to set show_in_menu to the page you would like it displayed on. Adding a custom post type as a sub-menu of Posts Here we set the “movies” post type to be included in the sub-menu under Posts. register_post_type( ‘movies’, array( ‘labels’ => array( ‘name’ => __( … Read more
I would recommend the Search Everything plugin too, but if you want to implement this using WP’s search function, here’s the code I’m using in my Atom theme: // search all taxonomies, based on: http://projects.jesseheap.com/all-projects/wordpress-plugin-tag-search-in-wordpress-23 function atom_search_where($where){ global $wpdb; if (is_search()) $where .= “OR (t.name LIKE ‘%”.get_search_query().”%’ AND {$wpdb->posts}.post_status=”publish”)”; return $where; } function atom_search_join($join){ global … Read more
Change your rewrite to add the course query var: ‘rewrite’ => array(‘slug’ => ‘courses/%course%’) Then filter post_type_link to insert the selected course into the permalink: function wpa_course_post_link( $post_link, $id = 0 ){ $post = get_post($id); if ( is_object( $post ) ){ $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, ‘course’ ); if( $terms ){ return str_replace( ‘%course%’ , $terms[0]->slug … Read more
