Excluding categories with pre_get_posts() I found that excluding a category via pre_get_posts() and set_query_var() would work fine except for widgets. The Recent Post Widget would only exclude the category when using $query->set() instead. <?php /** * Does NOT apply to the Recent Posts widget. */ function glck1403271109_exclude_categories( $query ) { $excluded = array( ‘1’, ‘2’ … Read more
Use tag__not_in parameter. You have to use tag ID for this parameter $args = array( ‘category_name’ => $cat_name, ‘tag’ => $tag_name, ‘post__not_in’ => $sticky, ‘tag__not_in’ => array($tag_id_1, $tag_id_2) ); $my_query = new WP_Query( $args );
In addition to the answer by Tim, one can always use a proper tax_query. All the build in tag and category parameters gets converted to a proper tax_query before being passed to the WP_Tax_Query class to build the JOIN clause for the SQL query. I use a tax_query in almost all applications as it gives … Read more
For skipping the post just use offset parameter in wp_query. To display latest three post : <?php $latestpost = new WP_Query(‘order=asc&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=date&posts_per_page=3’); //Here add loop to display posts like while($latestpost->have_posts()) : $latestpost->the_post(); the_title(); the_content(); endwhile; wp_reset_query(); //After that skip three posts using offset $latestpost = new WP_Query(‘order=asc&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=date&posts_per_page=6&offset=3&paged=’ . $paged); the_title(); the_content(); endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?> That’s it
you could use wp_parse_args() to merge your arguments into the default query // Define the default query args global $wp_query; $defaults = $wp_query->query_vars; // Your custom args $args = array(‘cat’=>-4); // merge the default with your custom args $args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults ); // query posts based on merged arguments query_posts($args); although, i think … Read more
The basic explanation You have a template tag that is called is_search() to determin if you’re on a search page or not. This then calls get_search_template() which basically is a wrapper function for get_query_template(‘search’). When you look into the last function, then you’ll see that it basically does locate_template(), which checks for file existence and … Read more
as ‘get_posts()’ uses the ‘WP_Query()’ parameters, i would assume that this should work: $laargsM = array( ‘cat’ => 7, ‘posts_per_page’ => 300, ‘orderby’ => ‘title’, ‘order’ => ‘asc’, ‘category__not_in’ => array(10) );
This the post__not_in arg should work dandy for you: $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => 5, ‘offset’ => 0, ‘category’ => 7, ‘post__not_in’ => array( $post->ID ) ); $myposts2 = get_posts($args);
Instead of using the code from the question in functions.php, replace it with this: /** * Prevent certain plugins from receiving automatic updates, and auto-update the rest. * * To auto-update certain plugins and exclude the rest, simply remove the “!” operator * from the function. * * Also, by using the ‘auto_update_theme’ or ‘auto_update_core’ … Read more
Method 1 You can add a constructor to your custom Walker to store some additional exclusion arguments, like: class custom_nav_walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu { function __construct( $exclude = null ) { $this->exclude = $exclude; } function skip( $item ) { return in_array($item->ID, (array)$this->exclude); // or return in_array($item->title, (array)$this->exclude); // etc. } // …inside start_el, end_el if … Read more
