In the Wordpress Media Library, when you add a piece of media, you're invited to also add other 'metadata': Title, Caption, Alternate Text, and Description.
Using get_the_title() will return the title, but trying get_the_caption() simply breaks the page.
How do I get this data, or metadata on the page. I've also tried using wp_get_attachment_metadata(), which returns an array. Does anyone know what values are in this array? I know it has height and width.
I see that this metadata is stored to the wp_posts table. For example, the caption for a photo is in column post_excerpt. Since the title column is post_title, you might want to try the same naming convention and try a call to get_the_excerpt(). Here are the other names of the columns in the wp_posts table
post_author post_date post_date_gmt post_content post_title post_excerpt post_status comment_status ping_status post_password post_name to_ping pinged post_modified post_modified_gmt post_content_filtered post_parent guid menu_order post_type post_mime_type comment_count
Hope this helps

I am working on a Woocoomerce site with many categories.
I have to add some text at the end of the categories (suffix) slug. Like "klm".
How to change product category slug in bulk in Woocommerce?
For example,
Furniture > Kitchen Furniture
The permalink for the category is as follows:
"kitchen-furniture"
What I want to do is add a new text (suffix) to the end of all (main category or subcategories).
For example,
"kitchen-furniture-klm"
Yes, this can be done from wp-admin>Products>Categories. However, as I said at the beginning, there are many categories.
There are 22 pages of entries for categories on Stackoverflow. I've looked at almost all of them. However, I couldn't find what I was looking for. I would appreciate if someone could guide me where to start.
Note: Please take database backup before execute following update query
You can do this in database, using following query
UPDATE wp_terms SET slug = CONCAT(slug, '-klm') WHERE term_id IN(SELECT term_id FROM wp_term_taxonomy WHERE taxonomy = 'product_cat')
I have more than one category name in the post and I want to change specific primary category name to be normal category and then normal category to be primary category.
Let's say I have sponsored category and fashion category. So, I want to switch fashion category to be primary category because I do not want to show /sponsored/ in the URL.
Take Note: I have thousand of posts and I cannot switch the category name manually.
Using SQL and PHP you can run a foreach loop with all posts id that need to be updated.
A good starting point is an Excel file with all posts and its category ids that will be set as primary, so convert the spreadsheet to a json file to use in the PHP loop.
Below is the SQL query to do this:
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = $new_primary_id WHERE post_id = $post_id AND meta_key = '_yoast_wpseo_primary_category';
Where $new_primary_id is the id of the category that will be set as primary, and $post_id
is the post id that will be updated.
If you using Yoast SEO Plugin there is the solution for you check here.

I'm using
<?php query_posts('cat=34546&posts_per_page=5&order=DESC');
in order to get five posts from a certain category. The order is determined by the ID of the post. I would like it to be determined by another field, like post_date column in posts (let's say for the sake of this question that I manually change post_date that in the database). How can this be done?
Using the Query Posts orderby parameters.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters
For example:
<?php query_posts('cat=34546&posts_per_page=5&order=DESC&orderby=date');
The reference I linked above has what values you can use for orderby.
I have created CPT using CPT UI plugin and suddenly I lost all the important data. I don't have any backup and I need it backup. Is there any I can get it backup? I have SQL backup of last week.
Moreover I am seeing Count on CPT categories but they are showing Empty on main CPT page. for example CPT:
Animals --> showing (0) posts
Animal Categories is showing 100 counts that means It has data but something has hide it. I remember I updated Permalinks but I don't remember the previous settings
use this sqlQuery in your SQL Database (phpMyadmin or ...) and you will get a list of your custom post type posts with their info:
SELECT *
FROM {table prefix}_posts
WHERE post_type = 'your_custom_post_type_name'
AND post_status = 'publish'
your {table prefix} can be wp or some thing else if you've change it on wp setup step you can check it in your Database or wp-config.php file in your wp root.
you can replace * in query with whatever field name you want for example:
post_content, post_title, post_excerpt
to only get fields that you need.
please can you help me how do action which search posts only by title and sort by title.
I dont want change query search in include file query.php.
function sort_searchresult_by_title($k){
if(is_search()){
$k->query_vars['orderby'] = 'title';
$k->query_vars['order'] = 'ASC';
// some code for change search logic
}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','sort_searchresult_by_title');
Thank you,
P. V.
By default, WordPress constructs the search query to look in the post_title and post_content fields. You can change it by hooking into the posts_search filter, and creating a new SQL clause there.
