This is more of a PHP question then a WordPress question. If you want to remove punctuation marks like (.,-;:) you can try this recursive version: $s = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘one_line_summary’, TRUE ); if( function_exists( ‘remove_punctuation_marks’ ) ) $s = remove_punctuation_marks( $s ); with /** * Remove punctuation marks (.,-;:) if they’re the last characters … Read more
Oh my. You’re doing some freaky stuff there. 🙂 Please try it like this: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post_type’=> ‘match_report’, ); $query = new WP_Query($args); if ($query->have_posts()) { while ($query->have_posts()) { $query->the_post(); $matchdate = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘report_date’, true); $new_matchdate = DateTime::createFromFormat(‘d-m-Y’, $matchdate); update_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘report_date’, $new_matchdate->format(‘Y-m-d’)); } wp_reset_postdata(); } // EDIT If you have problems … Read more

The best practice in the WordPress world is to “escape late” i.e. at the point of output. While the two examples are effectively the same, the first one would be more effective if that code is ever refactored and the value of $portf_icon changes between where it’s first assigned & where it’s output.
Meta data keys do not have to be unique, you can have multiple rows of the same key, each containing singular values. If you use get_post_meta to fetch a key and don’t set the 3rd argument to true, the function gets all the individual values and returns them as an array, which is not the … Read more
Use the htmlspecialchars() function in PHP in the templates, because the wordpress-api does htmlspecialchars on import. The following code works fine <?php print htmlspecialchars_decode(get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘field_name’, true)); ?>
If anyone else encounters this, check your source code and try and find the date in question to see where it’s being inputted, Googlebot normally finds these dates there. It turned out the Googlebot was picking up a date in the footer of my site, via the WordPress Latest Posts Widget, where I had selected … Read more
Your code for scheduling event isn’t correct, here is the correct one: function hits_set_zero_schedule() { if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( ‘hits_set_to_zero’) ) wp_schedule_event( time(), ‘daily’, ‘hits_set_zero’ ); } add_action( ‘wp’, ‘hits_set_zero_schedule’ ); function hits_set_zero_func() { delete_post_meta( $post_id, ‘post_views_count’, true ); } add_action( ‘hits_set_zero’, ‘hits_set_zero_func’ ); Also, you can define intervals otherwise than daily by adding a … Read more
You can remove them by replacing the line( .alignleft { float: left; } ) with empty space in database ( but you should avoid using SQL query). Make sure you have back up before trying anything. There is a php script which i used for replacing my loclahost url to live site url while migrating … Read more
You seem to confuse WP_Meta_Query with WP_Query obviously they are not the same and you can not use the first by itself to loop over post.
