I am at a loss which method to use. I am simply trying to loop through all the admin pages in the backend of WP. From there I'll check if there's matching meta criteria and then return the results to a custom backend page. But I've searched and can't seem to find any sort of method or other to query it. Appreciate any pointers!
Following on from my comment,
Have you tried iterating through $GLOBALS['menu']

So I have a page of posts and I would like to be able to filter the posts by month, category, and a keyword filter that a user enters. I have found some examples online of plugins that will accomplish the keyword and category and keyword fields, but I am not seeing an easy way to add the month selector. Would it be easier to make a custom filter form myself? The only issue I am seeing with that is the keyword filter.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I think the best solution is using AJAX. You can create inputs in template where all posts show then define logic and javasctipt files in functions.php and finally add js files.
This is perhaps a very basic Wordpress development question. I am aware about creating custom types in Wordpress. So I created a Product type and a Version type and I would like to be able to keep a one-to-many relationship between the two i.e. for every Product, I would like to be able to associate one or more Version items from the admin editor. What is the way to do this? I am not in favor of using plugins, so I was thinking, I would use some kind of a custom field array of IDs, to connect the two. Am I on the right way? If I have to use a plugin, which one should it be?
The easy way to do this would be to add a meta box on your product admin page. That way you can create a drop down list on your product page with your versions. You can get more on adding meta boxes using add_meta_box here.
You add all required functions to your themes' functions.php, but to summarise you will need the following wp functions amongst others.
add_action
add_meta_box
update_post_meta
Looking up these functions in the Wordpress Codex (using google) will get you on your way. If you get stuck, post some code of what you have tried and take it from there. There are a number of tutorials/examples around. If you can do enough to create custom types this should not take you long.
Im building a page which will display a list of users based on provided criteria. My plan is the build a form and then use the submitted values to do a get_users() and then show the list.
I also want to be able to paginate the returned list because in some case the results might be quite long (300+). My experience with normal post/page pagination in Wordpress is that it's a bit finicky. And I have no idea how to attempt it with users.
Is this possible? Thanks in advance!
If you can use a plugin, you can use WordPress Users. In case you want to do it yourself, you have to come with a more specific problem.
I've been scouring everywhere and can't seem to find this. I know the WP variable within the loop can use $post_count but I'm writing from an external function. I've set global wp_query so I should be able to pull out the number, and I have the user IDs as well.
Any help would be more than appreciated :D
Take a look at wp-includes/author-template.php. It includes various functions for pulling author data for display in a theme.
In this case, I think you are looking for count_user_posts($userid). If you are retrieving more than just post counts, you may want to create another instance of WP_Query().
What's the correct way of performing an article search from within a Wordpress plugin? I want to perform the search and get a list of matching posts and pages back. That is I want the list back in the plugin code for further processing. I keep thinking there should be a function I can call, but I can't find it.
I have not worked with this plugin and I'm not entirely sure whether it serves search results in the way you need, but I think it does. Take a look at Wordpress Search API plugin.
