Feb 13	comment	Exclude custom post type from search by custom field value? Eugene - this looks like it would work, but it actually excludes all results on all post types and pages.
Feb 13	comment	Exclude custom post type from search by custom field value? This is a query for listings, isn't it?. Specifically trying to exclude from search results.
Feb 5	comment	Query custom post type based on post id and custom field value I changed the custom field values from initials to the full name of regions. Then, I figured, I could compare them with region names on the region pages (North Region is both the post title of a region page, and a value of a the custom field news_region. Having trouble with it, however. My mod of your code does not seem to grab the region post type title for comparison. Will add code to my original question.
Feb 5	comment	Query custom post type based on post id and custom field value Right now I'm using a standard query which lists all the news items on all the region singles.
Feb 5	comment	Query custom post type based on post id and custom field value No. not trying to compare first letters. Trying to show news items with 'SE' custom field attached (could be more regions later) when on the Southeast Region page, and news items with 'SW' custom field when on Southwest Region page. Can see a clue about how to make your code work using the custom fields assigned to news items, however. Will give it a shot and be back. Thanks.
Dec 4	comment	Starter Theme vs Parent Theme? Pros and cons I think you explained it well. For blogs the parent/child model of theming works fine. For building a CMS or application, it can become problematic pretty quickly.
Dec 4	comment	What is the Plural of WordPress? Funniest thing I've seen here in a while: "Like Jesus, just more rules."
Apr 6	comment	Custom Post Types don’t highlight in menu nav Agreed. This is something I think should "just work", with "current-page-ancestor" automatically applied to the parent list item.
Mar 13	comment	Alter BuddyPress member search to include search on added profile fields Can make it required, but can't make it part of initial signup, right? In other words, they have to come back and edit their profile before they are required to complete that field?
Mar 9	comment	Alter BuddyPress member search to include search on added profile fields Yes, but I have to balance that against the ability to require the field be completed at signup. I may be missing something, but can't see where I can do that with BP extended profile fields.
Feb 14	comment	Can't seem to do combined query AND sort? I finally came to the same conclusion, Christian; hadn't gotten round to posting it as an answer. Thanks for your answer.
Feb 7	comment	Can't seem to do combined query AND sort? Tried that, and DATE works no better. CHAR works fine when not trying to both sort and do combo query. Format generated is yyyy-mm-dd (e.g. 2012-02-05) Just for kicks, tried AND rather than OR and got no results, so that may indicate that the query works, but that's not a lot of help, since AND is not the query needed to return proper results. Also created a new startdate custom field (same data, but different keyname) and cannot sort on that, either, with combination query (even though that key is not used in the query).
Feb 7	comment	meta_query and strange orderby behaviour I'm sure it is not the same value.
Feb 7	comment	Can't seem to do combined query AND sort? Actually, above code doesn't get the query right, either, as it shows everything in events (added some events that were past and it does not exclude them). Again, if I remove the orderby code (last 3 variables) the query works (excludes appropriate items). If I query only for start date or end date, then I can sort.
Feb 7	comment	Can't seem to do combined query AND sort? I want items ordered by start date. Dates are in yyyy-mm-dd format.
Feb 7	comment	meta_query and strange orderby behaviour Actually, it does not seem that sorting with the SAME metakey names is the problem. Just tried adding another custom field to create another start date with a different metakey name (2 start dates by different names) and that does not allow sorting either. Seems I can either do the combined query OR sort, but not both.
Feb 7	comment	meta_query and strange orderby behaviour That's the problem: when you change _city to _startdate, it reverts to sorting by post date.
Feb 7	comment	meta_query and strange orderby behaviour I'm having the same problem. Seems that you cannot sort by the same metakeys that are being compared in a relationship?
Dec 16	comment	WP 3.3 update disabled editor stylesheet? Or TinyMCE Advanced problem? Guess I will add a function in my functions file to enable the editor stylesheet.
Dec 16	comment	WP 3.3 update disabled editor stylesheet? Or TinyMCE Advanced problem? Good thought, but I'm not sure it's that simple, since TinyMCE Advanced is what enables the stylesheet when placed in the theme folder. So of course, with the plugin activated, the stylesheet also does not style the editor content.
