I recommend you use the pre_get_posts filter or ditch query_posts and use WP Query. That way you can easily use category__not_in (array) parameter and not mess any other loops up. function exclude_category($query) { // this requires term id instead of term name so change “20” to the “sport” id // this assumes “sports” is in … Read more
The post__not_in arg should work for you: $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => 5, ‘offset’ => 0, ‘category’ => 7, ‘post__not_in’ => array( $post->ID ) ); $myposts2 = get_posts($args);
Try to use that set of arguments : $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’, ‘order’ => ‘asc’, ‘post__not_in’ => array( $thumb_id ) ); I’m using it for one of my site and it’s working fine. So you shouldn’t have to use : if … Read more
Use the 4th parameter $excluded_terms http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link <?php next_post_link( $format, $next, $in_same_term = true, $excluded_terms=”402″, $taxonomy = ‘category’ ); ?> Same for the previous_post_link http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/previous_post_link $previous=”<span class=”meta-nav”>Previous Post</span>”; $next=”<span class=”meta-nav”>Next Post</span>”; <?php previous_post_link( $format, $previous, $in_same_term = true, $excluded_terms=”402″, $taxonomy = ‘category’ ); ?> Or you could create a template tag like whats included in Twenty … Read more
We could try to use the the_posts filter, that’s applied on the queried posts, if the suppress_filters query variable is false, to collect relevant post IDs. We can then use the pre_get_posts hook, in each query, to exclude the accumulated array of post IDs. Here’s a schema example for the process: // Main query $wp_query … Read more
You can use WP_query() to narrow down the results of your search: <?php $args = array( ‘s’ => $_GET[‘s’], ‘post_type’ => array( ‘post’, ‘page’ ), ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘category_name’ => ‘music’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1 ); $custom_search = new WP_Query( $args ); if ( $custom_search->have_posts() ) { while ( $custom_search->have_posts() ) : $custom_search->the_post(); ?> <div class=”entry-content”> … Read more
You have to declare $popular to be global before you use it. Based on the code you’ve posted you haven’t done that. global $popular; $popular[] = 1 //post id=1 $popular[] = 2 //post id=2 $popular[] = 3 //post id=3 However, if you mean the index.php in the theme, that file is not always used. You … Read more
There is not quite any clean way to query for “this set of conditions oh and also something completely unrelated as well”. There are multiple ways to handle it, few of them being: query two things and deal with combining in template or around (easy, pain with pagination) hook into WP_Query and mess with SQL … Read more
All you’ll need to do is count() the get_the_category() results to determine how many categories your post is in, and check it along with your in_category(). For example: while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); if( in_category( $myCatsToExcludeArray ) && count( get_the_category( $post->ID ) ) == 1 ) { do something } endwhile;
As already stated, you should never (my emphasis) use query_posts to construct custom queries. Note: This function isn’t meant to be used by plugins or themes. As explained later, there are better, more performant options to alter the main query. query_posts() is overly simplistic and problematic way to modify main query of a page by … Read more
