Select rows as columns for wordpress post meta

Question

WordPress\'s wp_postmeta table has all the additional fields for a post but they are in rows so it\'s easy to add more.

However, now I want to query for all

Answer 1

What about something like this?

SELECT p.post_title, m1.meta_value as 'total_related', m2.meta_value as 'updated', m3.meta_value as 'cricket'
FROM wp_posts p
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta m1
    ON p.id = m1.post_id AND m1.meta_key = 'total_related'
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta m2
    ON p.id = m2.post_id AND m2.meta_key = 'updated'
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta m3
    ON p.id = m3.post_id AND m3.meta_key = 'cricket'

And since you aren't looking for a specific post you should be able to do this.

If you want to query specific post_types you can try something like this

SELECT p.post_title, m1.meta_value as 'total_related', m2.meta_value as 'updated', m3.meta_value as 'cricket'
FROM wp_posts p
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta m1
    ON p.id = m1.post_id AND m1.meta_key = 'total_related'
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta m2
    ON p.id = m2.post_id AND m2.meta_key = 'updated'
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta m3
    ON p.id = m3.post_id AND m3.meta_key = 'cricket'
WHERE p.post_type = 'my_custom_post_type';
