post-meta

Looking over it again, it seems as though you’re inserting the post twice. wp_insert_post returns the following (from the codex): The ID of the post if the post is successfully added to the database. On failure, it returns 0 if $wp_error is set to false, or a WP_Error object if $wp_error is set to true. … Read more

I got your “broken” code in your answer to work and will explain why. First, here’s the edited code that wasn’t working for you: <?php //Get your post ID with a variable $this_post_id = get_the_ID(); //Removed get function from get_post_meta to make functionality clearer //I tend to avoid nesting functions that are grabbing post information … Read more

The variable that get_post_meta was stored in was empty because I wasn’t getting an id. I was trying to use this code on a category page, not a single event. Without an id it couldn’t identify the post_meta to use. So I corrected it with the following: $latest_cpt = get_posts(“post_type=event&numberposts=1”); $theidone =$latest_cpt[0]->ID; $this_post_id = $theidone; … Read more

While writing out this troubling question, alas! the answer did fall from the heavens and presenteth itself unto me: $meta = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘options’); if(in_array(‘blue’,$meta)) { echo “You’ve selected blue, punk!”; }

First, let met say that instead of echo, you should use var_dump or print_r for debugging. At first view, I see you are building a sequential array $current_history_array but you are trying to use it as associative array. $current_history_array[] = array ( current_time( “timestamp” ), $lastIP, $field, $value ); The above code generates a sequential … Read more

You’re missing a closing parenthesis, but you also need to set $single to true, otherwise the function will return an array of meta entries for the key (even if there is only one): get_post_meta( 4996,’ATHLETE-side_img’, true /* $single */ );
