The code above generates and dumps this SQL:

SELECT DISTINCT wp_posts.ID
              FROM wp_posts
              LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta ON wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id
              WHERE (wp_posts.post_title COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE '%magtech 9a%' OR wp_postmeta.meta_value COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE '%magtech 9a%' OR wp_posts.post_title COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE '%magtech-9a%' OR wp_postmeta.meta_value COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE '%magtech-9a%' OR wp_posts.post_title COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE '%magtech9a%' OR wp_postmeta.meta_value COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci LIKE '%magtech9a%')
              AND wp_posts.post_type = 'product'
              AND wp_posts.post_status = 'publish'

The problem is when it comes to the search.php page, it shows that there are no matching posts.

So search strings: “magtech 9a” returns 5 results when checked againts the SQL generated
“magtech – 9a” returns 7 results.

Here is a $wp_query dump from the search.php page.

this is the redirect url: https://nordchem.se/?elementor_library=search-results&cas_number=%5Bfield id=”cas_number”]&supplier=[field id=”supplier”]&other_search_term=[field id=”other_search_term”]&estimated_delivery_time=[field id=”estimated_delivery_time”]&min_price=[field id=”min_price”]&max_price=[field id=”max_price”]

The only other custom code i have is to hide and reveal the hidden container of a product. It hide the details of the product by default and reveal it when a chevron arrow is toggled. It works sometimes and stop working. Here is the code:

document.addEventListener(‘DOMContentLoaded’, function() {
// Get all the buttons and chemical detail containers
const detailsBtns = document.querySelectorAll(‘.details-btn’);
const chemicalDetailsContainers = document.querySelectorAll(‘.chemical-details’);

// Hide all chemical details containers by default
chemicalDetailsContainers.forEach(function(container) {
    container.style.display = 'none';
});

// Attach click event to each button
detailsBtns.forEach(function(btn, index) {
    btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
        const chemicalDetails = chemicalDetailsContainers[index];
        if (chemicalDetails.style.display === 'none') {
            chemicalDetails.style.display = 'block';
        } else {
            chemicalDetails.style.display = 'none';
        }
    });
});

});

In practice I should extract the products that correspond to the skus present in a custom mysql table relating to the logged in user.

Thank’s

What I wish to do is have a custom page (for example, “dbtest.php”) and pull meta values from the WP database. I’m only being partially successful. All the data I need is in the usermeta table. At this time, I don’t need to join any other tables.

I need to return the meta values for the following meta keys:

• first_name
• last_name
• nickname
• textarea_zknsk
• textarea_o0nn8
• textarea_fjy8e

I only want to return the records where one, two, or three of the three textarea fields have values.

Following is the code I’m using that partially works. I’m having two major issues.

• I need to use a loop. At the start, you will see the query that returns the max user_id in the table. But when I substitute in “IDmax” for the “$x” in the loop, it does not work. How do I increment the loop and then stop at at the IDmax?
• The loop pulls records for every user_id. I need a CASE (IF) set that will constrain the results to only user_ids where one or more of the textarea fields are populated. If the three textarea field’s meta values are empty then I don’t want the record. But I’m at a loss as to how to construct it.

//  Return Metadata ONLY.
	    $IDmax = $wpdb->get_results("select max(user_id) FROM $wpdb->usermeta");
for ($x = 0; $x <= 18; $x++) {
$results1 = get_user_meta( $x, 'first_name', true );
$results2 = get_user_meta( $x, 'last_name', true );
$results3 = get_user_meta( $x, 'nickname', true );
$results4 = get_user_meta( $x, 'textarea_zknsk', true );
$results5 = get_user_meta( $x, 'textarea_o0nn8', true );
$results6 = get_user_meta( $x, 'textarea_fjy8e', true );
echo "<pre><strong>First Name: </strong>";
  print_r($results1);echo "</br>";
echo "<strong>Last Name: </strong>";
  print_r($results2);echo "</br>";
echo "<strong>Nickname: </strong>";
  print_r($results3);echo "</br>";
echo "<strong>Board Member Notes: </strong>";
  print_r($results4);echo "</br>";
echo "<strong>Board Secretary Notes: </strong>";
  print_r($results5);echo "</br>";
echo "<strong>Board Treasurer Notes: </strong>";
  print_r($results6);echo "</pre>";
}

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I started learning Pods and Elementor Pro as they seem to fit my cost needs best. But I’m also up for the challenge to learn more.

I created CPTs for Services and Projects, for which I created relationships ‘service-relation’.

Now I built a single page template for Services in Elementor, and I would like that page to show only related projects in the loop carousel at the bottom of the page.

What would be the custom query command and how to assign an Query ID to it in Code Snippets?

Would anybody be willing to help me out? I’d love to learn that also for my other project.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers,

Jonas

I would like to show a list of upcoming events as in the below link under “Our Programs” section with the immediate upcoming one highlighted on the left side and the list on the right side with the option of vertical scrolling.

https://www.jkyog.org/

Someone please guide me on how to accomplish this, using free version of Events Manager. In case if it is not feasible with this, are there any alternatives available to accomplish this without having to go for paid plugins or extensions.. Any help would be highly appreciated.

This application isn’t published yet. I can provide the SQL block if necessary. I also presented this problem as a comment in the https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/query-builder/writing-queries web page – sorry for the duplication. I tried to submit a ticket through Premium Support, but was unable to do it – since I only have a local URL for development, the interface does not accept it.
