Search Results for 'advanced custom fields'

The page count actually counts how many times the page is loaded/viewed and not tied to FB in any way. Page views are written to custom field per post (look at the extra fields in your post view). So, you can update theme without losing the post views per post.

Note that FB has been changing how they show stuff to people, so somebody liking or sharing doesn’t always translate into any specific number of views from FB — theme doesn’t control whether people CLICK THROUGH from a share on FB to your site/pages.

For advanced users, you can start using a shortcode with tracking where you use shortcode for social and then track that by number of times shortcode is clicked through. But that is likely outside the scope of what you want to do here.

Not sure any of that helps .. just food for thought.

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve added it on our feature request list and we will consider it for the next theme updates. Meanwhile you can use a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields and use this method to do it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/function-to-hide-ads-and-function-to-show-author/

Thanks!

Yes, with ACF you have to actually place the shortcodes for your custom fields into your post template(s). This is how ACF works, it doesn’t happen automatically (I use ACF 4 and 5 PRO).

So, if you’re using the “style 2” post, you’d need to look at adding your field shortcodes intto the style 2 theme files in your /newspaper/ root.

If using post template 2, try placing your shortcode(s) into

single_template_2.php
loop-single-2.php

where you want them to appear.

This is described in the ACF docs:

You need a plugin for that, free or premium. I am using qtranslate-X on my http://www.photocommand.com, which is also complemented by WPBakery Visual Composer & qTranslate-X, Yoast SEO & qTranslate-X, Advanced Custom Fields: qTranslate as those plugins gave me those options.

If I was starting today, I am not sure I would use qtranslate-X (I read it is a hard one to uninstall if you need to and it is not the most SEO friendly (take care when setting your URLs in the language implementation options).

You can control the excerpt for both modules and RSS from the aptly named ‘excerpt’ field at bottom of each post you do.

If you don’t want to do that you could use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), create custom data field for RSS; then build a custom RSS feed based on “page” (Google how to build custom RSS for WP); then insert that ACF field in the description tag in your custom RSS.

Probably simpler to manually edit your excerpt field for each post — which is what I do when I have in-post sub-head or some kind of intro text which is not what I want showing in social media, modules and RSS. The excerpt field in WP posts is what populates the description field in your META data, RSS, etc.

Hope that helped!

I created a field in Advanced Custom Fields plugin and tinkered with loop-single.php and added the code

<p><?php the_field('price'); ?></p>

And it showed up, Great! but that was just a test.

Could you please guided me where I can insert it after the excerpt on the blocks on my homepage (blocks 4 and 5) and of course the category and tag pages. Is that the archive template?

Also would you have any handy css code that I can play with and adjust the style, perhaps something to start me off with…

thank you so much!

oh, I have installed Advanced Custom Field and read the post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/where-do-i-insert-advanced-custom-fields/

So where do insert for the blocks, after the excerpt appears?

thank you

Probably best to use something like Advanced Custom Fields and make a custom field set where you can paste in the articles you want to link to manually, then put the shortcode for that at bottom of the post template(s) you’re using.

There might be a plugin for this, but I have not seen one.

OK!!

Finally I found it!! I can’t believe I found this almost by mistake! Just when I was looking for another WP plugin I found this: http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/visual-composer-plugin-conflict/

Very bad of ACF to have a solution only for the ones who buy the pro version!! Very bad really! The issue was created by the ACF plugin! I removed it, I don’t think I will need it anyway. Problem solved!!

YAY!

You can’t have html in the WP titles for a post.

You can edit WP to change behavior in the templates, where what “prints on page” pull from dbase and post meta has style applied.

You can also write HTML in the text editor for posts.

You can also setup custom field, such as with Advanced Custom Fields, with a custom field for a title; then change your template to “print” that field, and NOT the main title field; then rest of site would pull the default title.

Hope that at least pointed you in some direction.

I think this might be possible using a select query. You will have to troubleshoot it yourself though.

function get_meta_values( $key = '', $type = 'post', $status = 'publish', $author = '' ) {
    global $wpdb;
    if( empty( $key ) )
        return;
    $r = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare( "
        SELECT pm.meta_value FROM {$wpdb->postmeta} pm
        LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->posts} p ON p.ID = pm.post_id
        WHERE pm.meta_key = '%s' 
        AND p.post_status = '%s' 
        AND p.post_type = '%s'
        AND p.post_author = '%s'
    ", $key, $status, $type, $author ) );

    return $r;
}

Then in the author.php you do

$author_id = $part_cur_auth_obj->ID;
$total_views = get_meta_values( 'post_views_count', 'post', 'publish', $author_id );

This will return an array of data. You can manipulate this data howsoever you want.
For custom user profile fields, I think you can use Advanced Custom Fields plugin.

Well, they kind of already have … on various threads.

Right now the *only* solution with Newsmag if you have this CPU spiral of doom is to use the shim plugin, and use VC as little as possible beyond the development portion of your home page. Make sure you have a lot of memory allocated to WordPress (at least 256MB from the wp-config.php file in addition to php.ini setting; you must do both!).

We started to see minor spikes once 4.4.2 came out. Prior to that zero issues. Right now we can use it, but anything later not so good. I can’t imagine if WP Bakery haven’t addressed this ins the 4.5x versions, that they still don’t “get it” and are not solving it — seems to be a “if 90% of people can use, the other 10% oh well …” which isn’t great.

Right now TagDiv is focused on (based on posts I’ve seen):
a) Newspaper 5 w/ features of Newsmag + better grid + new version of API.
b) Next Shim beta for use with Newsmag *and* Newspaper.
c) Newsmag 1.8 with bug fixes and minor updates/tweaks.
d) Dev work on possible alternative to using Visual Composer.

So — at the moment if your site dies with VC 4.42 immediately, then it’s clear you might need to go back one more iteration, and/or stick with 1.6 of Newsmag vs 1.71.

I have 2 sites still working with 1.6 and 4.42 without shim, and doing okay, but they are fairly low traffic sites. I have 3 sites on 1.71 with VC442 and the shim, and 2 of these are our larger main traffic sites which were killing MySQL in batches of every 10 minutes or so going from green to yellow to red, and back. Then CPU death.

Not sure any of that helps … not much TagDiv can do beyond the shim, and possibly providing earlier versions of VC to try for your system. Since they don’t develop VC, it’s not something they can “fix” for anybody beyond the reports they have provided to the Bakery folks as a developer/licensor in hopes of solution (and yet to see one).

Some theme devs are already leaving VC in favor of in house solutions or simpler things like Siteorigin builder (free/open source), etc. (( We’re using Page Builder by SiteOrigin with a lean WP home brew Bootstrap 3 theme for a client reporting system along with Advanced Custom Fields, and works well so far for that … )).

Anyway…. I’m sure TagDiv folk will have some reply, but likely not far different from the above rantings 🙂

Of course, it’s possible that the next version of Visual Composer will be better “optimized” …. frankly, I’m amazed they are not working with an example “DOA” server setup, reading the error logs, and trying to find what bit of code is causing the death spiral, and then FIXING it. But I’m behind on stuff for my own business, so can’t really point fingers on that 😉

Advanced Custom Fields plugin, then place the text shortcode into the template(s) where you want such code to appear; would be best way.
