I can't figure out with this problem: when woocommerce sends the order processing mail to custumer, customer's meta properties are valorized in the $order object, and the valorization is done by the execution of the action woocommerce_email_order_meta (at least, I suppose):
do_action( 'woocommerce_email_order_meta', $order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text );
All fine with that, but when I want to create a custom template for that email, no meta values will be displayed in the result, although the same invokation.
I've checked the parameter values passed to the "woocommerce_email_order_meta" invokation (that routes to the order_meta() function in plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-emails.php) of my costum template, and those values are the same.
Neither debugging the order_meta() function in both cases gave me clues, the function's behavior is always the same, but the result in the mail is different. So... what can I do for insert order meta info in this mail?
Sorry if this question is a duplicate and for my bad english.
Thanks in advance if you can help me with this issue.
Billing address and other details, such as first name and last name are stored as order details (In "postmeta" table). Whereas, Products in the order, its quantity, price is stored as Order meta.
Therefore, "woocommerce_email_order_meta" action will display order meta details.
Please make sure, you have included the below line, in your custom email template to get Billing address and other details.
<?php wc_get_template( 'emails/email-addresses.php', array( 'order' => $order ) ); ?>

I am totally new to wordpress and acf and I'm trying to use a user field in a post to show the author of the post. I tried to programatically add the post author id as a meta attribute in the wp_postmeta table like this:
update_field('video_author', get_current_user_id(), $post_id);
The post author, however, is not shown:
What am I doing wrong?
Also when I click the user field no users are listed. I presume acf looks for users in either "wp_users" or "users" table, both of which contain records. However, this is shown:
Thank you in advance.
When you inspect element your field , you will find key like field_59c383916102a
update_field( 'field_59c383916102a', get_current_user_id(), $post_id );
//Replace field_59c383916102a with your key value
I have custom meta box with multiple fields and it is working fine. Now, I want to store this meta box data into a custom table. So how can I do that ?
I have researched on google and Youtube but didn't got what exactly I am looking for.
If anyone can provide me with Step by Step guide or tutorial links then it will be very much helpful.
I'm not entirely sure why you would want to store Post Meta into a separate table, but I've had situations where I've needed to do crazier things.
The gist would be that you can use your Custom Meta Box to display the form fields, and then handle those form fields with your own custom function on the save_post hook.
Let's say you've registered a custom meta box with <input name="my_custom_table_field" /> in it. Instead of using update_post_meta() on the save_post hooks, you could write a function that manages the data with the $wpdb->update method. Something like this would get you started:
add_action( 'save_post', 'save_my_custom_data' );
function save_my_custom_data( $post_id ){
global $wpdb;
if( isset( $_POST['my_custom_table_field'] ){
$result = $wpdb->update(
'my_custom_table',
array(
'post_id' => $post_id,
'my_custom_table_field' => $_POST['my_custom_table_field'],
),
array(
'post_id' => $post_id
),
array(
'%d',
'%s'
),
array (
'%d'
)
);
});
}
You'll want to make sure to handle the data appropriately before saving it, of course. And again, I'm not sure why you'd need a custom "meta" table, but farbeit from me to say you "shouldn't" (especially depending on your particular usecase) - but something like the above would get you started.
To summarize:
Display your custom meta box with WP's metabox functions
Handle the save_post hook for your custom fields separately
Sanitize, trim, or otherwise make sure the data being stored is supposed to be stored in accordance to best practices for the field type
Make use of the global $wpdb class to update it.
Also of note, this answer doesn't go into CREATING the database table - because that depends on your storage engine, particular indexing needs, etc. But in general you should be able to search for "create database table in [whatever storage language]" to get a walkthrough of creating the table - then use the outline above to store the data in it.
This is the official Wordpress guide: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/metadata/custom-meta-boxes/
I am currently using a code similar to what I need, from LoicTheAztec ( who should really be called "DaMan"). That code triggers Woo to send an email to a custom email address when order status is changed to "Processing". Without that code, a notification email only goes to the customer.
For my case I want to send a notification to both the customer, and the store owner. I was able to tweak previous code to do this - but the result was that both the customer and owner get the same email ( as in, they are both copied on exact same notice from Woo).
Here is what I am currently using in my functions.php:
// notify when order status set to processing
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_customer_processing_order', 'processing_order_replacement_email_recipient', 10, 2 );
function processing_order_replacement_email_recipient( $recipient, $order ) {
// Set HERE your replacement recipient email(s)… (If multiple, separate them by a coma)
$recipient .= ',example#owneremail.com';
return $recipient;
}
How could I trigger this so that the customer gets their copy, and the owner gets her copy separately? Also typically the stock emails generated by WOO have slightly different text versions between customer and store owner.
If what I am asking can't be done, I'll stick with what I have. Just wondering if there is a cleaner way to achieve it. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
I'm working on a plugin which is going to save about 10 custom user meta for certain users bound to the plugin. Among these metas we find: Address, zip, occupation, etc...
These metas will only be used by the plugin, and mostly (if not always) all of them will be fetched from the DB together to be shown in a table view in the admin.
So, I'm thinking about the best way to save these values.
I could do this:
add_user_meta( $user_id, 'address', 'kings street 45');
add_user_meta( $user_id, 'zip', '12345');
add_user_meta( $user_id, 'occupation', 'nurse');
... some more meta
Or would it be better to do this:
add_user_meta( $user_id, 'plugin_name_user_meta', array(
'address' => 'kings street 45'
'zip' => '12345'
'occupation' => 'nurse')
... some more meta
);
In WordPress I prefer to work with arrays because in helps keeping my data organized, so I would go the second way. Nevertheless, if you go the first way, prefix all the metas with a unique ID related to your plugin.
I disagree with the first answer and I would use your first suggestion.
Why? Because if you use add_user_meta for each field you have a seperate field in the database for each value. That means:
1) You can do meta and Wildcard Queries e.g. "Select all user with a ZIP starting with 11". This is impossible if you save an array especially as the array will be saved in serialized format.
Keep this possibility open! Some day you may want to do complicated queries on this data even if it is not the case currently.
Have a look at the WP Meta Query class and even better the WP User Query class:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Meta_Query
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query#Custom_Field_Parameters
2) You do not have a disadvantage in extensibility: As these fields are already saved in a meta table and not within fixed columns you can add and remove values dynamically.
However #Juan is right with the hint on prefixes: You definitly should prefix your meta_values in order to avoid collisions.
I have noticed that the list of users generated by users.php in my dashboard doesn't take into account custom post types when it displays the number of posts by each user.
So even if a user has 20 posts of a custom post type, it will still show '0' next to their name.
Does anyone know how to resolve this and add custom post types to this number?
For anyone else looking to achieve the same, I managed to resolve it using this solution...
function my_manage_users_columns($columns) {
$columns['post_type_count'] = __( 'Books', 'textdomain' );
return $columns;
}
add_filter('manage_users_columns', 'my_manage_users_columns');
With 'Books' being the name of the custom field
