WordPress Update meta_value by meta_key
// Clear Stock
function clear_current_stock(){
// Declare the $wpdb var
global $wpdb;
// Run My SQL Query (My Query is setting the meta value for stock to zero)
$wpdb->query("UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = 0 WHERE meta_key = '_stock'");
// Check if there were any errors or if my query was successful.
if ( is_wp_error( $wpdb ) ) {
echo $wpdb->get_error_message();
}
else {
echo 'true';
}
}
Then you can call the function like this
<?php clear_current_stock(); ?>
