When You Forgot A Lyric

Posted on by

Fatin, a singer contestant of X-Factor Indonesia who had ever featured in official Bruno Mars’ site just got unlucky tonight. She forgot the lyric during her performance. She failed to give her best perform in a song “Everything At Once” by Lenka. This is the first time I found a funny thing yet bit hearth-touching moment.

Custom Order by Meta Value

I have done creating Product post type with a custom meta field as in the screenshot above. I set up a meta field as custom order setting. To display Product loops with custom order by custom meta value, I use this codes.

// WP Query settings
$args = array( 
	'post_type' => 'acme_product',  
	'posts_per_page' => 10,
	'meta_key' => 'cptproduct_order', // Name of meta key
	'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', // Order by number of meta value
	'order' => 'ASC' // Order by lowest to highest value (1,2,3,4,..)
	);
 
// Loop for custom post type		
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
	echo '<div class="entry-content">';
	the_title();
	the_content();
	echo '</div>';
	echo '<p>' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'cptproduct_order', true) . '</p>'; // Print meta value
	echo '<hr />';
endwhile;
// End of loop

Rundown Version 1.6.4

Posted on by

I have updated new version of Rundown. Here are the changes:

1. Main navigation for smaller screen 

Comparing with previous version, the new version has better main navigation when it is viewed in smaller screen. The new main navigation contains menu items which is set from custom menu (Appearance > Menus) option. The old version didn’t, it just displayed all pages.

2. Calendar widget style

See the comparison between new and old version below:

3. Widget title

I decided to make slight touch to widget title style. I made it higher to make more proportional.

4. Comment form CSS improvements

Fix layout when Si Captcha Comments and Subscribe to Comments plugins are used. See the screenshot below.
