• I’ve created this page in my theme which allows users to edit their posts. It changes the information which there are fields for in the page BUT it overwrites all the other custom meta fields which are not in the edit page. Any ideas of where I’m going wrong?

    <?php /* Template Name: Edit Posts2 */ 
    
    $query = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'customtype’, 'posts_per_page' =>'-1', 'post_status' => array('publish', 'pending', 'draft') ) );
    
    if ($query->have_posts()) : while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
    
    	if(isset($_GET['post'])) {
    
    		if($_GET['post'] == $post->ID)
    		{
    			$current_post = $post->ID;
    
    			$title = get_the_title();
    			$content = get_the_content();
    
    			$custom_one = get_post_meta($current_post, 'custom_meta_1', true);
    			$custom_two = get_post_meta($current_post, 'custom_meta_2', true);
    			$custom_three = get_post_meta($current_post, 'custom_meta_3', true);
    			$custom_four = get_post_meta($current_post, 'custom_meta_4', true);
    			$custom_five = get_post_meta($current_post, 'custom_meta_5', true);
    
    		}
    	}
    
    endwhile; endif;
    wp_reset_query();
    
    global $current_post;
    
    $postTitleError = '';
    
    if(isset($_POST['submitted']) && isset($_POST['post_nonce_field']) && wp_verify_nonce($_POST['post_nonce_field'], 'post_nonce')) {
    
    	if(trim($_POST['postTitle']) === '') {
    		$postTitleError = 'Please enter a title.';
    		$hasError = true;
    	} else {
    		$postTitle = trim($_POST['postTitle']);
    	}
    
    	$post_information = array(
    		'ID' => $current_post,
    		'post_title' => esc_attr(strip_tags($_POST['postTitle'])),
    		'post_content' => esc_attr(strip_tags($_POST['postContent'])),
    		'post-type' => 'customtype',

    		update_post_meta($post_id, 'custom_meta_5', esc_attr(strip_tags($_POST['customMetaFive'])));

    <?php

    $postTitleError = ”;

    if(isset($_POST[‘submitted’]) && isset($_POST[‘post_nonce_field’]) && wp_verify_nonce($_POST[‘post_nonce_field’], ‘post_nonce’)) {

    if(trim($_POST[‘postTitle’]) === ”) {
    $postTitleError = ‘Please enter a title.’;
    $hasError = true;
    } else {
    $postTitle = trim($_POST[‘postTitle’]);
    }
    $eventurl = $_POST[‘subtitle’];

    $post_information = array(
    ‘post_title’ => esc_attr(strip_tags($_POST[‘postTitle’])),
    ‘post_content’ => esc_attr(strip_tags($_POST[‘postContent’])),
    ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonial’,
    ‘post_status’ => ‘pending’,
    ‘subtitle’ => $eventurl,
    );

    $post_id = wp_insert_post($post_information);

    //save the new post
    add_post_meta($post_id, ‘subtitle’, $eventurl, true);

    if($post_id)
    {
    // Update Custom Meta
