get_post_meta
get_post_meta : Firstly, It is the most important function to retrieves a post meta field for the given post ID in WordPress. so let’s learn about get_post_meta function. Get_post_meta have 3 parameter. They are $post_id, $key, $single.
Parameters of get_post_meta
| $post_id: | (int) (Required) Post ID. |
| $key: | (string) (Optional) The meta key to retrieve. By default, returns data for all keys. Default value |
| $single: | (bool) (Optional) Whether to return a single value. This parameter has no effect if $key is not specified.Default value: false |
function get_post_meta( $post_id, $key = '', $single = false ) {
return get_metadata( 'post', $post_id, $key, $single );
}Since both evaluate as false, you can use get_post_meta directly in conditionals, like this:
if( ! get_post_meta( '1', 'non-existing_meta', true ) ) {}if( ! get_post_meta( '1', 'non-existing_meta', false ) ) {}// both ifs will get run if no meta field is found; since// array() == false and '' == false
Default uses:
<?php $meta = get_post_meta($post_id); ?>Change the $post->ID to the specific ID of the post. It is displaying the correct output.
