post-meta

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

For good practice pass the dynamic ID as per documentation. <?php add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $unique); ?> $post_id –> The ID of the post to which a custom field should be added. $meta_key –> The key of … Read more

WP serialises the data for you into a single meta field. It’s serialised the data you had already serialised. You need to add the data in the form that you’d like it when you read it again.
