Post Meta Bootcamp

Last year I wrote an “Intro to Post Meta” series of posts for wpsnipp.com. I highly recommend you check them out if you’re looking to learn how to use WordPress post meta.

  1. What is Post Meta? An intro to WordPress Custom Fields
  2. Post Meta.. How do I save it?
  3. Post Meta.. How do I save it? (add_post_meta)
  4. Post Meta.. Let’s make something!
  5. Post Meta.. The most valuable resources

If you read them and find them valuable, please let me know!

UPDATE 09-28-15: Though originally commissioned for wpsnipp.com, the original content has been taken down so I have been given permission to re-publish here. The links above reflect their new location on this site.
UPDATE 03-12-16: Tom McFarlin has written several excellent posts on working with Metadata in WordPress, and covers other areas like user meta, comment meta, and even the new term meta. I definitely suggest you check it out as well.

      Wow, sure enough. Let me check with the site owner.

        If the site owner doesn’t have them still posted, you can probably update the links to point to archive.org’s wayback machine. I’ve done that numerous times when materials “vanish.”

          The owner of the site told me he would get the articles back up this week. Crossing my fingers. :)
