    Hi Shamim,

    I want to do something like the following:

    $mgs = fep_get_messages( $args );
    if ( $mgs ) {
    foreach ( $mgs as $mg ) {
    fep_update_meta( $mg->mgs_id, ‘parent_total’, ‘newupdate’ );
    }
    }

    I have $mgs for my query but it will not update the meta for each $mg. Am I doing something wrong here? Is it possible?

    Your code seems ok.
    If not working you need more debug code for each line and see upto which line it is working correctly.

    Here is the full code:

    $busman = fep_get_meta( fep_get_parent_id(fep_get_the_id()), ‘cus_fep_business’, true );
    $args = array(
    ‘mgs_type’ => ‘message’,
    ‘mgs_status’ => ‘publish’,
    ‘mgs_parent’ => 0,
    ‘per_page’ => 10,
    ‘fields’ => [ ‘mgs_id’, ‘mgs_title’ ],
    ‘participant_query’ =>
    [
    [
    ‘mgs_participant’ => $busman,
    ],
    ],
    ‘meta_query’ =>
    [
    [
    ‘key’ => ‘cus_fep_update’,
    ‘value’ => ‘driverupdate’,
    ],
    ],
    );

    $mgs = fep_get_messages( $args );
    if ( $mgs ) {
    foreach ( $mgs as $mg ) {
    fep_update_meta( $mg->mgs_id, ‘test_meta’, ‘test’ );
    }
    }
    wp_reset_query();

    If I add this code into the page and load it as normal, all of the messages update with the new meta. However, if I add this code into add_action( ‘fep_action_message_after_send’, function( $message_id, $message, $new_message ){ it does not work. That action is working ok for all the other meta that is being added and updated in it.

    Debugging is something that is beyond my skill set at the moment but I will look into it. Any other ideas you have would be appreciated.

    fep_get_the_id() is a template function which does not return any value outside loop. So using fep_action_message_after_send hook does not give you correct message id.
    If you need to use fep_action_message_after_send hook you can use $message_id variable instead of fep_get_the_id()
