Add field to user meta table in database when link is clicked

Personally, I would store the post IDs (as opposed to URLs). Something like: function wpse_143643_add_user_bookmark() { if ( ! empty( $_GET[‘bookmark’] ) && is_singular() && is_user_logged_in() ) { if ( ! $bookmarks = get_user_meta( $user_id = get_current_user_id(), ‘bookmarks’, true ) ) $bookmarks = array(); $bookmarks[] = get_queried_object_id(); $bookmarks = array_unique( $bookmarks ); update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘bookmarks’, … Read more

Post list display year wise

I don’t like recommending a plugin, but this plugin does exactly what you need, and it is the easiest way to go. Just before I start, I would like to state that I don’t have any affiliation regarding the plugin or its authors, nor am I marketing or trying to market the plugin in any … Read more

Post type no single page

First, before you start, just reflush your permalinks. It is sometimes strange why the Template Hierarchy fails. You code checks out, and should in theory work. Everything checks out, and to make sure, I tested it on my side. You can use this work around to “force” wordpress to use a template. Here we would … Read more

Create a list of posts with topic headdings

OK I got it working. Not sure if it is the best way but I thought I would add a reply anyway. Set up the information needed for the custom loop using $args = array As described in http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘product’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘wpcf-topic’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘posts_per_page’ … Read more

Display posts of specific category term

Your problem lies in this line of code in your first piece of code ‘category’ => $term->name, There are two problems here, first of all, category is not a valid parameter for WP_Query, you should use category_name, as you are working with get_terms. get_terms does not return the ID like get_categories, which is an alternative … Read more

Tell WP to use a specific template file in posts

Use below code for getting post format, simple made condition if post format =”standard” then load your preferred template $format = get_post_format(); if($format =”video”) { get_template_part( ‘format’, $format ); } Something like this.

post__in not working with pre_get_posts, but post__not_in does work

I just ran into this with WooCommerce. I ended up passing the IDs I needed to a variable for safe keeping, and then hooking a function with extremely low priority. That worked fine. I figure woocommerce or what of my cleint’s 8000000 plugins was overwriting post__in. add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘assign_ids’, 1000);

Make a vertical dynamic list of posts in alphabetically order and in columns [closed]

You can just simply create a custom query with WP_Query. You just need to make sure if you are using a custom taxonomy or the build-in category. For reference, see: Is There a Difference Between Taxonomies and Categories? Here is an example for custom taxonomies (this can also be used for build-in categories, just change … Read more

is_page() and is_page_template() not being differentiated

Your code will never get to the is_page_template() if statement because is_page_template() can only be true when is_page() is also true. It also looks like you’ve got some muddled elseif syntax (I think that’s what you want?) and some generally inefficient code that repeats a lot. I’d do this: <?php if( is_page_template(‘right-sidebar.php’) ) { // … Read more

Is there any way to tell when wp_postmeta has been updated?

You are right the wp_postmeta table: does not save any kind of time stamp. Unlike for example the wp_posts table with post_date, post_modified and such. So you have to implement a mechanism to keep track of the points in time when votes happened yourself.
