Hi Caroline,

Thank you so much for your information!

I have to add var_dump($name_variable); to my procedure because I’ve noticed that my code isn’t executing and I can’t even see the variables displayed by another plugin called “variable_inspector”.

I have four options in your plugin to run the code:

• Run everywhere
• Run only in the admin area
• Run only in the public interface
• Run only once

I’ve tried each one, but the code still doesn’t run… Here’s just the beginning of my code:

==================================================================

// Create a cron job to run the day after an event happens or ends
function set_expiry_date( $post_id ) {

/ // See if an event_end_date or event_date has been entered, and if not, then end the function

if( get_post_meta( $post_id, $key = ‘date_de_latelier’, $single = true ) ) {

/ // Get the end date of the event in Unix grenwich mean time
$acf_date_de_latelier = get_post_meta( $post_id, $key = ‘date_de_latelier’, $single = true );

var_dump($acf_date_de_latelier);
do_action(‘inspect’, [‘variable_name’, $acf_date_de_latelier]);

} else {

// No start or end date. Lets delete any CRON jobs related to this post and end the function.
wp_clear_scheduled_hook(‘make_past_event’, array($post_id));
return; }

……

The “workshop_date” variable is, of course entered for each article.

Thank you.

ps:WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG are indeed enabled in the config.php file.

Thank you so much for your information! I’ve rephrased my request with more details because I think the problem is more related to plugin settings than to PHP.


I created a test WordPress site in a local environment using WampServer.

I added PHP code (via the Code-Snippets plugin). Which file does WordPress add the code to? Is it in functions.php? I’m a bit lost…

Since I’m running tests, I’d like to display all the variables (custom fields via ACF) that I use in my procedure.

But on the site, where can I see the contents of my variables? When checking the site’s health status, it says:

“Your site is not configured to display debugging information.”
So, after searching online, I discovered that I needed to modify wp-config.php. Therefore, I added:

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );

define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );

define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true );

But my variables still aren’t showing up… :-(( Is there anything else I can do?

I know there are “Query Monitor” and “Variable Inspector” plugins, but I don’t really understand how they work or where my variables are displayed.

Apparently, I need to add lines to the code like: do_action( 'inspect', [ 'variable_name', $variable ] ). I checked the variables in “Variable Inspector” but I still don’t see them… I see others, but not the ones I added via Snippet…

I even used (another way) in my procedure:
var_dump($acf_date_de_latelier);
error_log( print_r( $acf_date_de_latelier, true ) );
`but still NOTHING…

I really think I’ve tried everything… :-((

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences 😉 because I’m really struggling with this problem… :-((

Hello,

Thank you again for your help!

Regarding my first workflow based on metadata, I did enter the metadata in the “element” column (the date on which I want the action to occur), but
apparently, with this version of the plugin I have, it doesn’t take metadata into account. Is there something else I need to enable?

Anyway, I created a new workflow (copies attached) which involves changing the category of an article based on a date in the calendar.

So I entered “on a specific date” and “Selected from the calendar.” However, when I look at the calendar, it always selects a date 2 or 3 days later by default.

Why is that?
So I change it to today’s date and a specific time, but it always reverts to the current time…?? (See the planned actions)

I’ve attached four screenshots showing some steps in the workflow:

1/ “Scheduling Delay”
2/ “Replace all terms in the publication” (Categorize changed from “Upcoming Workshop” to “Past Workshop”)

3/ The “Planned Actions” table
4/ And the debug log

Thanks again for your help! Because this time I’m completely lost…

Thank you so much for your quick response!

“Upcoming Workshops” and “Past Workshops” are indeed article categories designed to automatically change categories once the workshop date has passed.

If I understand correctly, I can therefore create a custom field to serve as a reference.

For example:

– Workshop Day (D) is: 24/01 (I will, of course, include this in the article title to inform users)

• Custom field: 25/01

So, based on what I understand from your screenshot, the following day (D+1) will trigger an automatic category change?

Thank you again for your reply.
I did add the field manually, but since I didn’t see it in the list displayed next to each field, I didn’t know it could be added that way.

Thank you again for your reply, but I still have the same problem…

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I have filled out all the necessary fields (keys, etc.), but it’s not working…
