Programmatically Update Custom Field For Existing Posts In Wordpress


Recommended Posts

Hi there, I've some existing post with wordpress custom field. I can create post with custom feild but now I want to update their custom field. How Can I get the post using Post Title & update their custom field data? Can anyone help plz? 

If you create a loop for all your posts, you could then use 'get_page_by_title' within the loop. This will return the post ID.

Once you have the post ID, you can then use 'update_post_meta' 

Obviously, it would depend what you're trying to update the custom field with.

Are you not able to simply edit the post via the admin area?
