I am using a plugin that outputs data with a simple tag reference
<?php echo $property['building_brochure']; ?>
This outputs the reference number for an uploaded pdf which in this example is 352.
I want to return the actual link for this, the following works
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( 352 ); ?>
However, I want the combine these so on the single page template for the entry the relevant PDF is called i.e.
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( 'building_brochure' ); ?>
Is there a straightforward way of doing this?
You need to place the function as input into the other function the way Spectre-d has shared in comments.
i.e
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( $property['building_brochure'] ); ?>
However if you face issues,like not correct attachment_URL, then it could be Type issue i.e. first function might be outputting string and not integer as expected by attachment_url function in that case I recommend:
<?php
$pdf_id = (int)$property['building_brochure'];
echo wp_get_attachment_url( $pdf_id );
?>

I am using HTML5Blank as a starting theme and it comes with this function which returns 40 chars excerpt:
<?php html5wp_excerpt('html5wp_custom_post'); ?>
My main blog page is more complex, so I am using array to store values into it and echo them where I need them:
<?php while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php $post_titles[$counter] = get_the_title($post->ID); ?>
<?php $post_excerpts[$counter] = html5wp_excerpt('html5wp_custom_post', $post_id); ?>
<?php $post_permalinks[$counter] = get_the_permalink($post->ID); ?>
<?php $post_thumbs[$counter] = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, '', array('class' => 'img-fluid')); ?>
<?php $counter++; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
All other fields work and I can echo them, but I don't have any idea how to make excerpt work because it isn't echoing anywthing with:
<?php echo $post_excerpts[0]; ?>
First of all I notice, that you are using a variable called $post_id, which is not defined as far as I can see. You need to add a $post_id = $post->ID; before or alternatively you can use instead:
<?php $post_excerpts[$counter] = html5wp_excerpt('html5wp_custom_post', $post->ID); ?>
Maybe this already solves your problem. But to make sure, I will take it further.
I took a look at the functions.php of the HTML5-Blank-Theme: https://github.com/html5blank/html5blank/blob/master/src/functions.php
// Create 40 Word Callback for Custom Post Excerpts, call using html5wp_excerpt('html5wp_custom_post');
function html5wp_custom_post($length)
{
return 40;
}
So the function only returns the value of 40. I guess you can simply use the html5wp_excerpt() like this:
html5wp_excerpt(40);
Maybe there is something wrong with the html5wp_custom_post, so you can get rid of it to test this. And I also think, why use an addtional function, if it only returns a number... you can easily set it in the function call.
I don't know if this functions accepts an post ID as a parameter. So maybe it can only be used inside of a single.php page. I can't find a documentation about this, maybe you can do some research and find it out.
Here is another way to achieve it:
You can use the get_the_title() function that will accept the post id. Unfortunately, the get_the_excerpt() does not accept it.
So we first need to get the post object and then apply a filter to get the excerpt of the post. Do this by putting this code inside your while loop:
<?php $current_post = get_post($post->ID); ?>
You now have the current post as an object. In the next line, we apply the filter and save the result to the array at the right index position:
<?php $post_excerpts[$counter] = apply_filters('get_the_excerpt', $current_post->post_excerpt); ?>
I wonder why there are so many php opening and closing tags, so you could make your code more readable:
<?php while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
$current_post = get_post($post->ID);
$post_excerpts[$counter] = apply_filters('get_the_excerpt', $current_post->post_excerpt);
$post_titles[$counter] = get_the_title($post->ID);
$post_permalinks[$counter] = get_the_permalink($post->ID);
$post_thumbs[$counter] = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, '', array('class' => 'img-fluid'));
$counter++;
endwhile; ?>
Just as an additional info, you could also use only the filters, should work with your post object:
$post_titles[$counter] = apply_filters('the_title',$current_post->post_title);
EDIT:
You can trim your excerpt to a certain length with mb_strimwidth (read more: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-strimwidth.php) :
$current_post = get_post($post->ID);
$trim_excerpt = apply_filters('get_the_excerpt', $current_post->post_excerpt);
$post_excerpts[$counter] = mb_strimwidth($trim_excerpt, 0, 40, '...');
EDIT 2:
Maybe you should check if you are getting your post object. The fact that you are always seeing the same excerpt, maybe means you get the excerpt of the current page (not the post in your query).
$current_id = get_the_id();
$current_post = get_post($current_id);
I have ACF Plugin installed and I have a gallery filed in my post. I've tried all these docs but still getting the error :
Invalid argument supplied for `foreach()`
this happens because the input of the for each is not an array!
Do you have any clue what's wrong with this?
Do you think if I have to set something while I've defined the custom field?
<?php
$images = get_field('mygall');
$size = 'full'; // (thumbnail, medium, large, full or custom size)
if( $images ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $images as $image ): ?>
<li>
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( $image['ID'], $size ); ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
I think your problem comes from the fact that you are using get_field() instead get_fields(). That's way you don't get an array.
If it still doesn't work check the documentation for get_fields() here. Try to debug it like using only get_fields() and see what is the output. If it is an empty array then it means that you are calling the function out of the loop and it can't get the post id. So do a second test with manually setting the post id like get_fields(123); and check the results. If there are no results then there is something wrong with that post. And if there are results then you can do a final test with checking what will be the result of get_fields(123, 'gallery').
All the above debugging can be wrapped in something like:
echo '<pre>';
print_r( get_fields(123) );
echo '</pre>';
Basically this will give you some idea of what is the structure of the data that you get from this function and how you can manipulate it so to get what you need.
how to print the content in wordpress by passing the string php.I have written the following code but it print all the content including image.I want it to print only particular text.
<?php
$content = get_the_content('Read more');
print $content;
?>
This depends on whether or not you're in the Loop - if you are then your code should work - see more here: https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
However, if you are outside the loop and want to pass in a post ID as a paramter, you can refer to this post as everything is explained very well in there: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/51741/get-post-content-from-outside-the-loop
$page_id = 302;
$page_object = get_page( $page_id );
echo $page_object->post_content;
Use the_excerpt for only showing small content with read more
<?php $short_desc= get_the_excerpt();
echo substr($short_desc,0,200);?>
I'm not very familiar with PHP and have been trying my hardest to figure out how to create this URL. So far, this is working:
<?php echo site_url($p->post_title) ?>
Where post title is defined by the Mapify.it Wordpress plugin. The result is:
http://siteurl.com/post_title
What I'd like to do is add a string before it, ideally ?s= or /search/, but when I try to add this before $p->post_title I'm still generating the above URL. Variations such as:
<?php echo site_url('?s=', $p->post_title) ?>
<?php echo site_url('/search/', $p->post_title) ?>
produce http://siteurl.com/?s= and ignore the variable. Nothing seems to do what I want.
What am I doing wrong?
Hope you need the following url format,
http://siteurl.com/?s=Here come the post title
So,
<?php echo site_url("?s=".$p->post_title) ?>
OR
<?php echo site_url("/search/".$p->post_title) ?>
should work.
Found it!
<?php echo site_url('?s='), $p->post_title ?>
Instead of adding custom URL Parameters directly, I'd suggest you to use WordPress built-in function add_query_arg(), it's more cleaner.
Here is an usage example:
$url = get_site_url();
$params = array(
's' => $p->post_title
);
echo add_query_arg($params, $url);
You can specify multiple parameters this way.
For ref: Check add_query_arg()
I havve created a pod called teams and within this pod I created a field for uploading imagethat is called team_flag
I can echo the title of that row in a while loop, but not the file(image) link.
E.g. this code for title output is working nice:
<?php echo $teams->field( 'name' ); ?>
However, echoing link to the file is not:
<?php echo $teams->field( 'team_flag' ); ?>
Any advice how to fix it?
The .guid is not a reliable property to use. If you migrate your site to another domain, all your URLs will break.
You should use
wp_get_attachment_url( $teams->field( 'team_flag.ID' ) )
instead.
To clarify, #rclai89 is correct, it is better to use:
wp_get_attachment_url( $teams->field( 'team_flag.ID' ) )
For some new comers this might be a bit confusing.
What that line will do, is get the URL of the ID given from that field.
if you did a error log:
error_log(print_r($teams->field( 'team_flag.ID' ),1 ));
You can see why using .guid would give you the correct "url".
but it is best to let WP do the hard work in this case:
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( $teams->field( 'team_flag.ID' ) ); ?>
Will in fact be more efficient.
SOLUTION is to add guid at the end:** <?php echo $teams->field( 'team_flag.guid' ); ?>
