Oh hang on, I re-read your message.

Actually, this is in fact the correct behaviour (currently) for the plugin. The text and/or theme of the button can be customised for every post or page where it’s used. When you save a post or page, the code to produce that particular button is saved with the page, including any default settings.

There’s currently no way of knowing which buttons have the default settings or which are ‘custom’. That means that if you change the default settings it won’t change the buttons you’re already created as they’ve already been saved with the values of the defaults you used when you saved the post!

I hope this is a clear enough explanation! Basically, when I see it like this I think it’s probably not the best behaviour and I can totally understand why it seems like a bug. I probably is really!!

I’ll mark this as an important feature for the next upgrade. Thanks for the feedback, I don’t think I would have thought of this situation otherwise ??

Have a nice weekend ~?Richard

Hi Marius84,

Apologies that I’m slow to check message that get posted here. I’ll take a look at the plugin this weekend and see if I can’t find out what the problem is. Thanks for your patience!

Hi – didn’t spot this post, you may well have got it sorted since you posted it.

I don’t know either CCTM or OptionsTree I’m afraid. I reckon it’s an incompatibility issue. You might try a different custom post type plugin, or a different PayPal plugin of course!

Sorry I can’t be of more help. R

What a fool I’ve been! Was a mere slip of the wrist…

Instead of meta-value it should of course read meta_value then all will be right with the universe once again.

Mmm. Awesome. Now I’ve sorted my custom post-types by custom taxonomy and custom-fields! That’s a lot of customization! I heart WP 3.

Hmm, I’ve tried using a custom-field to add the surname of the artist but I still can’t seem to get my artists in order! Here’s the code I’m using

<ul>
  <?php
    $yell = new WP_Query(array('meta_key' => 'surname', 'post_type' => 'singer', 'voice' => 'soprano-voice', 'showposts' => '-1' , 'orderby' => 'meta-value', 'order' => 'asc' ));
    while ($yell->have_posts()) : $yell->the_post();
  ?>
  <li>
    <a title="<?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
      <?php the_title(); ?>
    </a>
  </li>
  <?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

I’ve also tried using 'orderby' => 'title' just for the hell of it! No joy…

Help!

Yes please! Makes life easier for working with iOS devices!!

I’m sorry to post here, but I can’t think of anywhere better!

The code at https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1656804 works great – but what I’d like to do is to actually list the posts of each author, not just the number of posts.

Also – is there a way to exclude the admins from the query, or to specify a user ID to omit?

Thanks!

@c3mdigital / @annointed – do you reckon a solution is possible to query custom posts in multiple custom taxonomies for those of us lacking php skills?!

@kiraa – good question, I was also wondering about that one.

I also tried to use ID’s instead of names and multiple ‘recording’ categories to filter the query results even more, but no luck. It seems we need an equivalent to

cat=2,3

or even better – an equivalent to

query_posts(array('category__in' => array(2,6)));

Would be great if one could use

'recordings__in => array(2,3)

All out of ideas…

Just to clarify to anyone else who might be having the same problem. The only code I really needed is the following:

<?php
  query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'discography', 'recordings' => 'live' ) );
  if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>

  <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
  <?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

Thanks @c3mdigital, this returned only the name of the category, but I realized that the ‘post_type’ wasn’t mentioned at all in the query.

I solved it with a guess!

Just added the following to the query_posts array

'post_type' => 'discography'

so the whole query reads:

<?php query_posts( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘discography’, ‘recordings’ => ‘live’ ) ); ?>

Thanks so much for your help @c3mdigital and @michaelh – have a nice weekend ??

Wow, that’s awesome ?? Thank you @michaelh!

Might I ask how one could perform a WP_Query to only display the custom posts from one custom taxonomy?

Say in my recordings taxonomy I made 2 categories: ‘live’ and ‘studio’ and wanted to display all the discography entries in category ‘live’. How could I manage this?

I’m sorry I lack the skills to figure it out myself and am very grateful for your help!

Not sure if it’s relevant, but when I view the entires in the custom post type (in the back-end) the categories are not displayed like they are for regular posts…

Woah, you really saved me a major headache! Cheers Dave!!

Nice one Zeo, thanks.
