i ended up building a plugin that enforces radio buttons for any taxonomy. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/radio-buttons-for-taxonomies/ for the project in question i will probably also save the taxonomy as meta. sucks that i need/want half the ability of taxonomy (knowing other available terms, etc), but need the sorting by meta.
I’ve used this to insert posts with ACF/postmeta data successfully, but please test it on a development site before deploying live, there might be some terrible assumptions. Generally, it assumes that you only have each name once, that is “myfield” doesn’t exist in two field groups with different meanings. $mycustomvalue = 123; $f_mycustomfield = get_acf_key_by_name(“mycustomfield”); … Read more
Is it possible to update a post meta field through REST API if the format of it when registered is nested?
You should use register_meta to add the meta field to the rest controller. Here the example from the link to expose the field my_meta of the custom post type my_article: register_meta(‘post’, ‘my_meta’, [ ‘object_subtype’ => ‘my_article’, ‘show_in_rest’ => true ]);
How to store Gutenberg ColourPicker RGBA as metadata
From the OPs edit moved to an answer. I found an answer, also not a straight path, I’m sure there’s a better way to do this. basically I use a little helper method that queries the SQL with the meta_id and return the post_id: <?php function get_key_by_id( $meta_ids ) { global $wpdb; $meta_ids = absint( … Read more
When hooking the save_post action, you really need to isolate your operations so that every page/post/post_type save doesn’t try to add your post meta to the post. function foo_save(){ if(isset($_REQUEST[‘bar’) update_post_meta($_REQUEST[‘post_ID’], ‘bar’, $_REQUEST[‘bar’]); } add_action(‘save_post’, ‘foo_save’); The main issue with your code above is posts_numericalvalue needs quotes. Also, to use $post->ID you will need to … Read more
Think of them as array key/value pairs (kinda). These tables are used to store additional data about particular posts, comments, or users. The meta_key is the name by which the meta_value is retrieved, plus you have associations with particular posts, comments, or users by means of IDs. As far as structure goes, that is about … Read more
Figured it out where I had if ( ! empty( $cart_item[‘presc_data’] ) ) woocommerce_add_order_item_meta( $item_id, ‘Olho Direito’, $cart_item[‘presc_right_sphere’] ); I had to change to $data = $cart_item[‘presc_data’]; if ( ! empty( $cart_item[‘presc_data’] ) ) woocommerce_add_order_item_meta( $item_id, ‘Olho Direito’, $data[‘presc_right_sphere’] );
HTML in custom fields is, from my point of view, a weird use case of custom fields. Even more if the purpose of the used HTML is just look and feel (<strong> and <i> can be seen as just look and feel). It is really better if you use the HTML markup on the custom … Read more
