@adrian, I just restored a theme file that had strings with escaped characters. Upon restoration, the file was messed up due to my escaped characters getting unescaped… I know you mentioned “wp_unslash” earlier which must be the culprit.

In your opinion, is this normal behavior? How can this be avoided?

That must be it! I do have registration moderation turned on.

I overlooked the possibility that there was a different filter for the moderation emails. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

Hey Chad,

Thanks for the info. I didn’t know that.

I’m still having the same problem even when I replace the image with arbitrary text. Not getting appended.

Any other possible reasons for this that I should explore?

Adrian, thanks for the fix. I would have never figured that out myself. Working properly now!

Hi Michael,

I do see it all working as expected now. Awesome!

I removed the “add_action” part and tested adding a new custom field, then added the column via your suggested method:

add_filter( 'manage_post_posts_columns', 'my_manage_post_posts_columns' );

I was then able to activate it via the plugin settings and the columns then populated correctly.

I think I’m all set now. Will play around with it a bit more and then consider paying for the premium version as I would need this for a custom post type.

Thanks for the help!

The only reason I opted for the manage_posts_columns filter is because when I couldn’t get the column data to populate using the example on your site I followed a different tutorial (https://www.deluxeblogtips.com/2010/05/add-custom-column.html) that teaches how to set up columns for custom field data.

Still unclear about something. Is this part of my code necessary? The column values weren’t displaying without it:

add_action('manage_post_posts_custom_column', 'my_show_columns');
function my_show_columns($name) {
    global $post;
    switch ($name) {
    case 'wpcf-price':
    $price = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-price', true);
    echo $price;
    }
}

Hey Shauno. Not a problem, I’ll figure something out. Thanks for replying!

Hi Michael,

I see now. Looks like when using “manage_posts_columns” the plugin doesn’t recognize the new fields. After switching to “manage_post_posts_columns” I am able to enable them as quick-editable.

That was my mistake for deviating from your example.

However, I wasn’t able to see any of the custom field values in the columns until I added the “add_action” part to populate the values. I’m not sure if that’s expected behavior or not. If it is a required step, which it sees to be, it should be mentioned in the documentation.

Interesting plugin. Seems to be working now.

And one more thing, is there a limit to the total amount of custom fields? I’ve created 10 but it looks like only 8 are visible in the edit screen.

Thanks to Dave, too. ??

existonline, thanks for the code snippet. Saved me a headache!

Thanks, bhbilbao. I will try this out!

I really want the vote at the top, not in comments. The functionality I want is exactly like this:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1671513/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Display the overall rating (7.5) and then next to that, “Your rating:” with blank stars next to it.

I don’t think I have the technical skills to mod the stars function so much. If you’re available for freelance work, maybe you can do it for me.

I’m actually just trying to have the stars at the top of the post (not in comments) display as if there were no votes until they vote. Then the stars render with their vote.

Maybe I’m not understanding your suggestion.

@bhbilbao, wp_gdsr_render_comment only works in the comment loop and I’m trying to use this functionality in the regular post loop.
