cache data for each post daily](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/for-each-post-cache-data-for-each-post-daily/) * Thread Starter [ext103](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ext103/) * (@ext103) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/for-each-post-cache-data-for-each-post-daily/#post-1864564) * okay, i think ive figured some of it out, but now have another problem. first heres the code i am using to get it working (sort of) * ``` function seop_update_page_stats(){ global $post; $args = array( 'post_type' => 'page' ); $myposts = get_posts($args); foreach( $myposts as $post ) { setup_postdata($post); $id = $post->ID; $result = stuff i do to get the data update_post_meta($id, 'seop_stats', $result); } } ``` * so this code sort of works (i also have the same function for the “posts” page type), i can set this up to run off the wordpress cron. * problem is this only seems to do some of the posts. i dont this as a timeout either as it doing some old post, and some new ones, but it doesnt seem to update all posts. * has anyone every had anything similar?

* i mean when you call an option, does it only call it once per page? * say i had get_bloginfo(‘url’); called 5-6 times on the same page. * would that give me 5-6 database calls or one? * thanks for posting * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [define a theme constant?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/define-a-theme-constant/) * Thread Starter [ext103](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ext103/) * (@ext103) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/define-a-theme-constant/#post-1744353) * its not for specific use, its just a suggestion i got from a theme reviewer last time i submitted my theme. * they said the functions should describe what they do (ie press_3_load_sidebar_1) * i think i may go through and do as you suggested, name functions on a different basis. * i may use your $shortname method for text domain/translation though. * do i have to call “global” inside each function i call these?

* this code worked fine while in the page and post templates. * im trying to move it to a function to clean up the code. * maybe you are onto something with the `global $post` thing. * how would i implement it into this function?
