Field has disappeared on post page
I have taken over a site from someone. He has a list of businesses on the site, each one has a URL, saved as a field:
`$iframe_url = get_field(‘manufacturer_url’);`
It seems he used to manage this URL on a custom post-type page, but the actual field to edit the URL has disappeared – maybe in some recent WordPress update.
I have made sure on the edit page, all the elements are checked off on the ‘screen options’ tab. But i still cannot see where this field is, where i can change the URL. Any ideas?
Using Version 5.8.7 of the plugin WP version: WordPress 5.1.4 running Chameleon-Child theme. | Followup for any future questioner.
It seems like the Field Group of ACF had been deleted. As soon as i created a new group and field named `'manufacturer_url'` the fields all became accessible again. Thank you. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

get_post_meta returns empty array for terms
I have custom post type of jobs and in this post type I have two custom taxonomies. For job post I selected few terms from both these taxonomies in admin panel but when I tried to access these on front end using `get_post_meta`it is displaying these terms as empty. I have two taxonomies (city, industry). I am getting city terms like this
[_job_city] => Array
(
[0] =>
)
I am getting industry terms like this
[_company_industry] => Array
(
[0] => s:1:"1";
)
Any suggestion ? | Instead of `get_post_meta` now I am using `wp_get_post_terms` function to access job post terms and it is working for me. It is working correctly for both these taxonomies. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

* New page's top bar (next to Block Navigation).
* New post's sidebar (next to Block Navigation).

Group listed elements by category
I'm quite new to wordpress so there's a lot of terms I'm missing... I'd like to have a list of elements, grouped depending on a category.
For example, let's say I have a list of superhero movie names, I want the user to be able to group them either by hero or by franchise. It would look like this:
grouped by hero:
Iron Man
-Iron Man 1
-Iron Man 2
-Iron Man 3
Thor
\- Thor 1
\- Thor 2
Grouped by franchise:
MCU
\- Iron Man 1
\- Thor 1 ...
DCEU
\- Batman 1
\- Superman 1 ...
I have no idea if there are plugins or controls to help with this, don't know even how to look for the terms. The solution I was thinking of was to somehow assign to each movie a series of metadata tags, e.g.: to Iron Man 1 give it "hero:ironman", "franchise:mcu", "starring:rdjunior". And then pull from there, but it sounds quite convoluted...
Thanks in advance! | The term you are looking for seems to be "Taxonomy", category and post_tag are base taxonomies, but you can register more taxonomies, depending on the needs.
Right now, you are in need of 2 taxonomies, "hero" and "franchise", once registered, you can affect them to a range of post_type.
I don't know if your "movie" is a CPT (Custom Post Type), but it should probably be.

Can you edit a theme in a text editor?
I'm developing a custom theme on my local machine (running macOS). I'd like to edit it in my favorite text editor instead of in the browser via the Theme Editor. Is there a way to do this?
Since I'm working locally, I was thinking there might be a way to do this without going over FTP, such as editing the files directly. My dev server is Local/Flywheel. | When you install your theme via the WordPress admin panel, it's just decompressing the ZIP file and placing the contents in a directory. For me, using Local as a dev server, that location was `~/Local Sites/<my-site-name>/app/public/wp-content/themes/<my-theme-name>`. You can edit those files directly and the changes will be reflected when you refresh your browser. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Look up all posts by status or meta value - performance difference
Anyone know if there is likely a big performance difference to these two queries?
1. get all posts by status = TRASH
2. get all posts which have the meta key `_delete_product` and has a value of TRUE
I will be doing a nightly cron purge of all posts which are to be deleted. Best thing is to grab all relevant posts in the most efficient way possible here before looping through them. | As mentioned in the comments, `post_status` is stored in the posts table but postmeta values are stores in postmeta table which is usually a much more heavy table than posts. Using a meta in db queries, results in adding a JOIN clause to the query to join this heavy table!
So using `post_status` is definitely a better performance choice. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Best way of getting WooCommerce category path

Correctly using the root directory for media uploads?
I am aware what I'm attempting to do is not recommended - please don't reply just to tell me this.
I have set the uploads directory to root by adding `define( 'UPLOADS', '' );` to `wp-config.php`, which works fine except the URLs for my uploads end up with a double slash (` The address I've defined for my website in the General settings does not have a trailing slash.
While this doesn't break anything, it looks a little peculiar in the event anyone copies the URL, so it would be preferable to resolve. So far I've tried using an absolute URL as per this answer (doing so just results in ` and inserting a backspace character as per this answer, which was a bit of a longshot. | The WordPress uploads directory's path and URL are determined by the `wp_upload_dir()` function which applies a filter named `upload_dir` which you can use to fix the double slashes in the attachment URL.
So if you turned off the "Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders" setting, try the following:
add_filter( 'upload_dir', function ( $data ) {
$data['baseurl'] = untrailingslashit( $data['baseurl'] );
return $data;
} );
And you can actually use the `upload_dir` filter to change the uploads directory path/URL/etc. without having to use the `UPLOADS` constant.. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Adding JavaScript file in Admin Panel

How to display featured image description and title?

set_transient fails if the value has more than 60.000 characters
I have a problem which I can't figure out. I have a collection of object which sometimes can be very big. I have to store the entire collection as a serialized transient. The problem is that when the serialized string has more than 60000 characters the insertion in the DB fails.
Why? I checked the wp_options table and the "value" column is a longtext. Which holds 4GB of data, am I right? | I found the problem! Everything was ok with the transient, the problem was that I'm using php's substr() to cut an object property value if exceeds maximum characters. When in that string there was an accented character there was a problem with the encoding. So the serialized collection had an encoding issue at character 60000... I fixed it using substr_mb() and specifying UTF-8 as encoding.
Hard to debug this issue since wpdb doesn't throw any error when there is an encoding problem. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Getting RGBA colour from gutenberg colourpicker
I'm working on a block that has it's own colour picker. This is working fine and I can see my background colour changing however I'm only able to get the hex value for the colour.
I'm changing the colour as it stands by doing:-
style={{ backgroundColor: `${tint.hex}` }}
Tint is an object returned from the colour picker and I can see that it has a sub object called color that contains rgba values.
How do I get these values and make the backgroundColour use rgba()? | If you mean `wp.components.ColorPicker` which is based on _react-color_, then the `tint` object also contains a `rgb` property with an object of the RGBA value like `{r: 51, g: 51, b: 51, a: 1}`.
So in your code, you can use:
style={{ backgroundColor: `rgba(${tint.rgb.r}, ${tint.rgb.g}, ${tint.rgb.b}, ${tint.rgb.a})` }}
And an easy trick to know all the available properties in the color object is by running `console.log( tint )`.. :) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

PS there is a similar question but it's almost 7yrs ago so, it may be outdated at this point Cloudflare's Rocket Loader + Wordpress -> Ignore scripts? | jQuery is loaded by WordPress with `wp_enqueue_script`. The problem is Wordpress also use the below code to change the `handle`
public function localize( $handle, $object_name, $l10n ) {

}
The solution is to use the function
function wpse_script_loader_tag( $tag, $handle ) {
if ( 'jquery-core' !== $handle ) {
return $tag;
}
return str_replace( ' src', ' data-cfasync="false" src', $tag );

Plugin updates, change file permissions on WordPress
I have a strange problem with my wordpress websites. Every time I perform plugin updates, the file permissions on my server, are changed. I get the Forbidden error in my developer console for the plugins directory that I've just update .
I use a local server with Webmin/Virtualmin to managed all my wordpress websites. So, I have virtual host for every website, and I have the same problem with all of the websites.
After updating the plugins, I have to change the file permissions, with default permissions for the wordpress, and everything works.
This are my default permissions for every wordpress website
sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \
sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \ | **PROBLEM FOUND:**

define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', ( 0755 & ~ umask() ) );
define( 'FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( 0644 & ~ umask() ) );

Suddenly extra hex string in <script> tags

How to check if Wordpress object type is already extended by pods
I'm looking to dynamically setup some pods housekeeping when a certain plugin is installed.
I can easily check to see if a certain pod object has been set up (and create the pod type programatically if it hasn't) by using the following code:
// Set up the Pods API object
$pods_api = pods_api();
// Check to see if the post type has already been set up
if ( !pods('custom_post_type_1') ) {
// Create the new post type if it hasn't been set up already
$new_pod_object_id = $pods_api->add_pod($params);
}
This works for new custom pod types, but how to I check for pods extending an object like `WP_User`? | It turns out that Pods handles this exactly as you would expect.
It doesn't differentiate between completely new post types and extending post types in the Pods API.
To check if the `WP_User` class is being extended by pods, the method is identical:
// pods() returns false if there's no extended class for `user`
if ( !pods('user') ) {
// Do things if there's no extended User set up in Pods

How to execute existing WP Cron programmatically
I have a plugin that creates a WP cron when activated. It runs every hour.
I need to add a simple button somewhere in the dashboard for my client, that would trigger this cron. I don't want the client to do this from plugin's interface (e.g. Cron manager), which might seem too complex for him.
Is there a native WP method or an easy way to run a specific scheduled cron? | When you register a scheduled event for WordPress' cron, the 3rd argument is a hook name:
wp_schedule_event( time(), 'hourly', 'my_hourly_event' );
And you add a function to run on this hook with `add_action()`:
add_action( 'my_hourly_event', 'do_this_hourly' );
This will cause `do_this_hourly()` to run whenever the scheduled event runs. This works because when the scheduled time occurs, your action is called like this:
do_action( 'my_hourly_event' );
Which causes anything hooked to `my_hourly_event` with `add_action()` to run. So you can run the hooked function, like `do_this_hourly()`, manually at any time by just manually triggering your event with `do_action()`, as above, such as in response to a form submission or AJAX request.
Alternatively, you can just run the hooked function directly:

Noindex Posts From Certain Authors In Wordpress

echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">';

How do I modify this to say something like, if is single post and is NOT an author with ID 111, 112, or 113 then insert noindex, follow. Would the following be correct?:
<?php if (is_single() && !(is_author(array(111,112,113)))) {
echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">';
} ?> | From codex: is_author() is a conditional tag which _determines whether the query is for an existing author archive page._ so it does not work for your scope.

$toIndex = array(111,112,113);

Which action is triggered when a theme was modified?

For theme updates, you can use the `upgrader_process_complete` hook - you pass it various arguments including `'type' => 'theme'`.
I don't think there are any WordPress-specific hooks for when files of a child theme are modified. This typically happens via FTP, rather than wp-admin, so it wouldn't have any hooks.

Which escaping function should be use on register_post_type label?

If you're outputting any of the labels yourself, you would probably use `esc_html()`:
$post_type_object = get_post_type_object( 'book' );
$post_type_labels = get_post_type_labels( $post_type_object );

Is There A Way Of Using the_post_thumbnail() to Pull In A Specific Image From The Media Library
I currently have a custom theme with some images in a separate image folder and I pull them into the frontend with the `echo get_theme_file_uri('/img/image-name.jpg')` which works as expected.
I would like to be able to add images from the media library, I know I can do this with `the_post_thumbnail()`, but this obviously pulls in the post thumbnail relating to a post, whereas I've designed a page that uses 4 different images.
Is there a template tag that pulls in an image out of the media library onto a page where I can use the image's ID, so you get the benefits `the_post_thumbnail()` brings in terms of sizing images etc ?
Any help would be amazing. | The equivalent function for arbitrary images that aren't the post thumbnail is `wp_get_attachment_image()`. It works similarly, but you need to pass the attachment ID, and there's an `$icon` argument that doesn't really do much:

How would I see which wordpress posts have a revision history without opening each one?
I have about 3000 CPT records with ACF data that were updated incorrectly by WP All Import. Is there a way to see a list of posts with revision histories? I have already exported the database, but can't see any indicators that show if a single post has a revision.
Edit: Is there a specific database for post revisions? | From the Revisions documentation page:
> Revisions are stored in the posts table.
>
> Revisions are stored as children of their associated post (the same thing we do for attachments). They are given a `post_status` of `inherit`, a `post_type` of `revision`, and a `post_name` of `{parent ID}- revision(-#)` for regular revisions and `{parent ID}-autosave` for autosaves.
So you should be able to search the `wp_posts` table for posts where the `post_type` is `revision`, and then grab the `post_parent` ID to find the original post.
## Update
If you're looking for an SQL query, here's one I just tried that seemed to work:
SELECT ID, post_title
FROM wp_posts
WHERE ID IN (
SELECT DISTINCT post_parent
FROM wp_posts
WHERE post_type='revision'

Pre_get_posts filter overwrites all search functionality

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', function($query) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$query->set('post_type', [
'post', 'profile' ,'recipe', 'dish'
]);
}

Does anyone know how to improve the search functionality on the search widget to include custom post types without overwriting ALL search boxes throughout the site? | That's easy, `pre_get_posts` applies to all queries, not just those on the frontend.

return;
}
if ( ! $query->is_main_query() ) {

Is there a way to enforce the type of an object returned by a function that could return anything?

Is there a way to make it clear to the IDE that I have done my due diligence? I don't want to get in the habit of ignoring my IDE. It has been so nice to me in the past and saved me from so many mistakes. :)
$queried_object = get_queried_object();
if ( is_singular() && is_a( $queried_object, 'WP_Post' ) ) {
// Initialize class that requires WP_Post object.
$class = new ClassThatOnlyAcceptsPostObject( $queried_object );
// ...
} | In addition to what Tom already said, using `instanceof` has worked quite well for me. (Actually never heard of `is_a()` before.)
if (is_singular() && $queried_object instanceof \WP_Post) {
// do something
}
Both PHPStan and my IDE know that after this check, `$queried_object` is an instance of the `WP_Post` class. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Not for profit membership site on Wordpress
I am looking to implement a not-profit membership site where I need a following:
* Only registered users can view content
* If they try to view any content they need to login first with their own personal username and password.
* When they logged in they can view all the posts.
* Each post is going to have a pdf and when they click their link a request would be generated and it should be approved by a site admin first. Then they would get a link in an email.
I found some membership plugins but they are all expensive and I do not need all their feature like payment processors. I am wondering if it is possible to implement this site in Wordpress only? | When you publish a post or page on Wordpress you can set the status to **Private**. This means that this content is only viewable to registered and logged in users.

How to parse a shortcode within a shortcode?
I've created a quick function and shortcode to allow me to include logged-in user only content:
function content_for_logged_in($atts,$content){

if(is_user_logged_in()){
$logged_in_content = $content;
}
return $logged_in_content;
}

[logged-in-content]
<p>Some test content...</p>
[wpforms id="752"]
[/logged-in-content]
...in this case, the wpforms shortcode is displayed rather than the form.
Is there a way to alter my function so that shortcodes within the content will be parsed?
Thanks, Scott | The function you are looking for is named `do_shortcode` (there will also be a function `apply_shortcode` in Wordpress 5.4 that does the same). Codex Page
For your example, this will work:
function content_for_logged_in($atts,$content){
$logged_in_content = "";

Wordpress cutting images size

function my_date($input_date) {

{@post_date, my_date}

Gutenberg dependencies in package.json
Seeing as `@wordpress/scripts` will magic my development versions of `@wordpress/*` dependencies, should any of them be present in the `package.json` for my own block development?
Gutenberg examples package.json refers exclusively to `@wordpress/scripts` despite the entrypoint file referring to `@wordpress/i18n` and `@wordpress/blocks`. Should I do the same? | Yes and no, it depends...
The WP Scripts package depends on the `@wordpress/dependency-extraction-webpack-plugin` package at:
<
What this will do is search for packages from `@wordpress` and list them in a file to make it easy for you to load the list of dependencies when enqueuing. It also adjusts webpack so that it knows not to compile in those dependencies, but instead rely on WordPress to provide them at runtime via enqueuing. As a result, the packages aren't needed, and you don't end up with 20 copies of `@wordpress/element` loaded on the page from every extra block installed.
So, you don't need to put `@wordpress/element` in your `package.json` requirements when using wp scripts to build the assets. This only applies to WordPress packages though. Other libraries on the other hand get included the normal way. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

But I'm not sure the Wordpress-acceptable way of doing this. I know how to create settings forms and so on, but this doesn't seem to fit into that approach. | Welcome!
As the comment from jdm2112 says, WordPress has the ability for you to create Custom Post Types. You can also make custom taxonomies, custom fields, and more. If you're new to this, then I would recommend you check out Generate WP as a resource. I find it's a great tool for getting a handle on what's possible.
**Make your CPT** There are many plugins that can help you do this, but it is very easy to create your own.
If you need to get an idea of what that looks like, head over to the WP post type generator and play around with it for a bit. Once you feel like you've got a handle on it, you can add it to your theme functions.php, or even better, make your own plugin (my personal recommendation).
**Add Custom Fields** You can make your own meta boxes as well, but I actually recommend ACF for this. Their pricing for Pro has gone up considerably, but their product is pretty dang amazing.

Can the Gutenberg editor be toggled closed?

Unlike the classic editor where everything is listed vertically by HTML markup, that's not how the block editors UI was designed. Instead there's a canvas with a block-list component, and a frame that contains the top toolbar, the sidebar, and optionally a drawer/area for metaboxes.
If you want to place controls and options above the content, they will need to be built as blocks. Otherwise what you want doesn't fit into the new paradigm.

I have looked for in it google, the only thing I got is to use wp_die() if I use this wp_die() at end of my functions.php files function I get a white page without issue resolved.
Can anyone know any solution for this? I have attached the screenshot of the WordPress dashboard.![enter image description here]( | I used Class to embed functions in function.php file. And also used namespace to call ajax requests. So no conflicts in displaying messages | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Will the same Wordpress logins work after a site migration?

Where to put code that customizes API
I am building a native mobile app where I need to display categories of products in different screens, and my client uses Wordpress as their CMS. I see that in order to return images from a gallery, I will need to use get_post_galleries() or get_post_gallery() per the instructions here:
How to get the attached gallery in the rest API?
My question is, to which file do I add the custom endpoints? So far my CMS is very bare bones so for the purposes of this question, you can assume I only have the files included with a new Wordpress installation. | Typically changes like this you would either create a plugin or create a child theme and put your code in your child theme's functions.php file. You make changes to a child theme because if your theme updates you will lose any changes you have made directly to it.
Code in a plugin is always run as long as the plugin is active, where as code in a theme or child theme won't work if you change themes down the road. If the changes you want to make are not theme specific its probably best to just create a small plugin. Which is really nothing more than adding a comment at the top of a PHP file.
Here is an example plugin...
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Example Plugin
*/
// Your PHP here
Name this file, something like example-plugin.php, put it in the plugin directory then activate it in the admin.
Here is some info on creating a child theme.

How to display posts i grid photo
am trying to make grid view of posts for a specific category any one to help
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'category_name' => 'featured',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'post__not_in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' )
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );?> | You need to build the query and then loop through it afterwards.
<ul>
<?php
//Your Args
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'category_name' => 'featured',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'post__not_in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' )
);
// The Query
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
$query->the_post();
echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
}
?>
</ul>
Then where the code echos the title, you would include your HTML to build your grid. And obviously have extra CSS elsewhere to style it as a grid. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

is it possible to create a website with wordpress with these requirements without coading?
is it possible to create a website with wordpress with these requirements without coading? if possible which would be the best theme?Thank you. Website Requirements
1.Need to be an eCommerce marketplace 2.Need to accept paypal, credit card payments etc. 3.Manage inventory and products 4.Be able to cross sell on eBay, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram 5.Show shipping estimates to local and overseas customers. 6.Should be able to easily manage products from suppliers, thus staying upto date with supplier stock on hand. 7.Be able to run promotions and sales on products. | Apart from cross selling, all requirements are covered by a standard installation of WordPress with the WooCommerce plugin. I've seen (but never used) a free extension for Facebook. For the other platforms you need to search for extensions, maybe payed extensions on woocommerce store or codecanyon.
I can not tell you what would be the best theme, but maybe the Hello Theme by Elementor and the Plugin Elementor is a good fit to customize everythin without coding. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Replace <p>-tag in the_excerpt
I want to replace the
-tag around the_excerpt.
Right now html-output looks like this: `<p> ...content of the excerpt... </p>`
I want to achieve this: `<h2> ...content of the excerpt... </h2>`
I tried to use the following code in the `content-page.php` but it does not change anything.
<?php the_excerpt( '<h2>', '</h2>' ); ?>
Do you have any suggestions? | You should try this:
function replace_tag($string){
$search = array('<p>', '</p>');
$replace = array('<h2>', '</h2>');
echo str_replace($search, $replace, $string);
return $string;
}

'<p>' => '<h2>',
'</p>' => '</h2>'
);

Serialized settings in rest api
I have registered settings and need it to be showed in REST API.
$args = [
'show_in_rest' => true
];
register_setting('default_sidebars', 'default_sidebars', $args);
When I save a single value and then request data on endpoint `/wp-json/wp/v2/settings`, everything works perfectly.
But the problem is that I save serialized data like this.
a:2:{s:4:"post";s:7:"general";s:4:"blog";s:9:"sidebar_1";}
Now I would expect in response something like this:
default_sidebars: {
post: "general",
blog: "sidebar_1"
}
But instead I got `default_sidebars: null`.
What should I do to get my data in REST API? | ## JSON Schema
It's supported if you explicitly register the **object JSON schema** as:
$args = array(
'show_in_rest' => array(
'schema' => array(
'type' => 'object',
'properties' => array(
'post' => array(
'type' => 'string',
),
'blog' => array(
'type' => 'string',
),
)
),
),
);
register_setting( 'default_sidebars', 'default_sidebars', $args );
Resulting in the following object:
default_sidebars: {
post: "general",
blog: "sidebar_1"
}
in `/wp-json/wp/v2/settings` for the serialized option data:
a:2:{s:4:"post";s:7:"general";s:4:"blog";s:9:"sidebar_1";}
See similar object schema support for `register_meta()` in 5.3:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ','
I have been following along a basic tutorial on creating a simple theme structure. I have searched quite a few articles to get an understanding and looked at debugging tips, however I am at a loss, probably due to me limited knowledge base. At this stage I had downloaded bootstrap css and js folders. This is on a local server and I don't have any plugins installed or activated.
After quite a number of error messages I have come down to this one. Sorry, I don't remember what changes I made in the functions file to get to this one.

Update post meta dynamically
I am trying to insert/update post meta when the user registers. Before writing that action, I am testing this code on the page so whenever the page refresh it will insert/update the post meta.
> **Question:** However, the below code is not inserting/updating anything in post meta. Can anyone tell me what is wrong in this code or how to fix it?
$groupItem = get_post(123);
if ($groupItem && $groupItem->post_type == 'cpt_group') {
$meta = 'group_users';
$user_ids = get_post_meta($groupItem->ID, $meta, TRUE);
if ( ! $user_ids) {
$user_ids = [];
add_post_meta($groupItem->ID, $meta, array_push($user_ids, 26));
} else {
update_post_meta($groupItem->ID, $meta, array_push($user_ids, 26), $user_ids);
}
} | Basically, you're not properly using `array_push()`.
`array_push()` modifies the original/input array which is passed by reference to the function and it returns the new number of elements in the array.
So with `add_post_meta( $groupItem->ID, $meta, array_push( $user_ids, 26 ) )`, you're actually setting the meta value to the number of items in `$user_ids` and not the items in the array -- so for example, `add_post_meta()` would get a `1` instead of a `[26]`.
So if you want to use `array_push()`, you could do it like so:
if ( ! $user_ids ) {
$user_ids = [];
array_push( $user_ids, 26 );
add_post_meta( $groupItem->ID, $meta, $user_ids );
} else {
$prev_user_ids = $user_ids; // backup old values
array_push( $user_ids, 26 );
update_post_meta( $groupItem->ID, $meta, $user_ids, $prev_user_ids );
}
Or simply use `$user_ids[] = 26;` .. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Running a function on post update with new post meta
I am trying to run a function on post update by checking if an ACF is equal to something.
I'm checking if the ACF value is equal to new or closed.
when i change it from value new to closed and save it doesn't run but if i save the post again when the post is at closed it does run.
function check_values($post_ID){
if(get_field('status', $post_ID ) == "closed") {
sendSMS();
}
}
add_action( 'post_updated', 'check_values', 10, 3 ); //don't forget the last argument to allow all three arguments of the function
Is there something I'm missing about this? I want to avoid saving each post twice.
Thank you | Please try using `acf/save_post` action that will hook in after ACF data has been saved.
add_action('acf/save_post', 'check_values');
function check_values($post_id){
if(get_field('status', $post_id ) == "closed") {

Display post of specific category on page
What's wrong in the code below ? Even after comparing it with pre-existing codes, I don't get the mistake:
$args = array('cat' => 367);
$arr_posts = new WP_Query($args);
if ($arr_posts->have_posts()) {
while ($arr_posts->have_posts()) {
$arr_posts->the_post();
}
} else {
echo "No posts found";
}
Result: Nothing appears, not even the "No posts found" message. But the page is displayed without any error message. | There's nothing in your code that outputs anything for each post. That's not what `$arr_posts->the_post();` does. You need to use template tags like `the_title()` and `the_content()` to output those fields:
while ($arr_posts->have_posts()) {
$arr_posts->the_post();
the_title( '<h2>', '</h2>' );
the_content();

How do I avoid color distortion of uploaded images?
When uploading image files to the Wordpress media library the colors are occasionally distorted.
This is especially noticeable in the blue tones. I think it is due to a missing conversion of the color space.
Does anyone know what is the solution? | You must use standard color profiles, and convert your color profile to sRGB (in Photoshop -> Save for the web -> convert to sRGB checkbox).
You should also set quality compression to 100

How to automatically redirect to custom admin menu after plugin activation?

add_action('admin_init', 'activation_redirect');

Which file handles the block latest posts, I want to examine excerpt handling
I'm using the latest version of wordpress and theme twentytwenty.
When using the latest post block in the block editor, I am showing excerpts.
It appears that using [more] to handle the length of automatic excerpts is not working properly.
I tried fiddling with the max number of words setting..
I expect to be able to set the max words to, say 25, and in some post "B" put the [more] marker in at word 20, that I would get an excerpt of 25 words in post A, and 20 in post B.
That doesn't work, so I try setting max words to 100, still not respecting the [more] marker.
I'm a pretty good hacker, Where do I start? Is this a known problem and harder than I might expect?
