Needed to build a feature for a Bookstore tool to have an optional sequence number for the Custom Post Type “books” that would allow items with a seq number to float to the top of the list and be sorted by seq #. The rest of the books would show underneath, sorted alphabetically.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 |
$querytop = get_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'books', 'numberposts' => -1, 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'meta_key' => 'book_seq', 'order' => 'ASC', 'meta_query' => array( // meta query takes an array of arrays, watch out for this! array( 'key' => 'book_seq', 'value' => array('', 'NULL'), 'compare' => 'NOT IN' ) ) )); $querybottom = get_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'books', 'numberposts' => -1, 'orderby' => 'post_title', 'order' => 'ASC', 'meta_query' => array( // meta query takes an array of arrays, watch out for this! array( 'key' => 'book_seq', 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' ) ) )); $query = array_merge($querytop, $querybottom); |

If you are missing either your “Dashboard > Updates” menu choice, or the “Add New” button or menu choice in the Plugins section, do this to correct it: Edit the wp-config.php file, and change two lines to be false instead of true: For example, here are the two lines fixed:
|
|
define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false); define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS',false); |

As PHP deprecates old functions, sometimes code maintenance changes become required for long-running sites. As of PHP 5.5, the MySQL functions are deprecated and are removed in PHP 7! I recently had to convert multiple sites to mysqli PHP functions because a new server was running PHP 5.6 and the old server was on PHP […]
