ACF load user_meta cross WordPress multisite

Posted on by

Users are global in a multisite. And default ACF groups are per site. So if you set a pinterest url for a user on one site it will apply it for all sites. No problem. But if you set an image it will try to find that image-id on each site.

The solution.

Step 1; Limit the user acf groups only to the main site:

function wpstarter_filter_fields_group($result, $rule, $screen) {
    if ( isset( $screen['user_id'] ) && ! is_main_site() )
        return false;

    return $result;
}
add_filter('acf/location/rule_match', 'wpstarter_filter_fields_group', 10, 3);

Step 2; Get image fields for users only from the main site:

function wpstarter_load_avatar_value_cros_site( $value, $post_id, $field ) {

    if( 0 !== strpos( $post_id, 'user_' ) || is_main_site() ) {
        return $value;
    }

    switch_to_blog( get_main_site_id() );

    $value_of_main_site = acf_get_value($post_id, $field);
    $value              = acf_format_value($value_of_main_site, $post_id, $field);

    restore_current_blog();
    return $value;
}
add_filter( 'acf/format_value/type=image', 'wpstarter_load_avatar_value_cros_site', 11, 3);

Add custom post_meta to the WordPress rest API

Posted on by

So I needed some metadata to be in the rest API of a custom post_type.
The following adds the subtitle to the book post_type

add_action('rest_api_init', function () {
    register_rest_field('book', 'subtitle', [
        'get_callback'    => 'get_meta_data_for_rest',
        'update_callback' => null,
        'schema'          => null,
    ]);

});

function get_meta_data_for_rest($post, $field_name, $request)
{
    // it's not always an object
    if (isset($post->id) && ! empty($post->id)) {
        $post_id = $post->id;
    } elseif (isset($post['id']) && ! empty($post['id'])) {
        $post_id = $post['id'];
    } else {
        return null;
    }

    return get_post_meta($post_id, $field_name, true);
}

Delete all empty taxonomie terms in WordPress

Posted on by

The code below will find and delete all empty terms of every taxonomie, including the menu.
Think before you delete, you might want to keep some empty categories.

foreach ( get_taxonomies() as $tax_slug ) {//
    $terms = get_terms( $tax_slug, array( 'hide_empty' => false ) );

    /** @var WP_Term $wp_term */
    foreach ( $terms as $wp_term ) {
        if ( 0 == $wp_term->count ) {
            wp_delete_term( $wp_term->term_id, $wp_term->taxonomy );
        }
    }
}
