I’m assuming that you have a loop to display the top (static) post and a second loop for the paginated posts: [header] [static latest post] loop 1 [paginated content] loop 2 [footer] For loop 1 you may need to clearly identify the category in your custom loop. $my_cat = get_query_var(‘cat’); $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => … Read more
Third party themes are off topic, but I ended up checking it anyway: The Problem What comes before & after your posted code is important: Before: // Return array of cached results if they exist. $featured_ids = get_transient( ‘featured_content_ids’ ); if ( ! empty( $featured_ids ) ) { return array_map( ‘absint’, (array) $featured_ids ); } … Read more
Storing of your own meta fields is typically a custom process, more so if you are using a third party framework. Technically it’s possible, but clunky: Hooking into save_post would allow you to check if meta is added to it If so you can immediately query for previous (if any) post that had it and … Read more
The post parent can be accessed by $post->post_parent. The ID of the post parent is retrieved, so can try something like this $parent_ID = $post->post_parent; if( is_sticky( $parent_ID ) ) { // DO SOMETHING IF POST PARENT IS STICKY }
These are WooCommerce 3.x instructions only. That thread on GitHub (https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/14914#issuecomment-299714488) was updated by one of the Woo devs and he provided an example loop and explained what is happening: Featured was meta in 2.6, but is a taxonomy (for performance!) in 3.0 – so adjust queries to use tax_query instead of meta_query accordingly. To … Read more
After discussing in chat and seeing the parent index.php file: http://pastebin.com/27r0FJ3x The main loop in loop.php is not actually the main loop at all: <div id=”main” class=”<?php echo $containerWidth; ?>” role=”main”> <?php get_template_part(‘breadcrumbs’); ?> <?php if ( have_posts() ) { ?> <?php while ( have_posts() ) { ?> <?php the_post(); ?> <?php get_template_part( ‘loop’, get_post_format() … Read more
The problem is that you misuse the category field. Use a site meta field (array) and a simple checkbox on each post. When a post is saved add its ID to the site meta array, and if the array is longer than 5 drop the last ID from it. The query for featured post will … Read more
Your problem is here: $featuredPosts = new WP_Query(); $featuredPosts->query(‘showposts=”.get_option(“mp_slides_no’).’&category_name=”.get_option(“mp_featured_cat’).”); for($i=1; $i<=$featuredPosts; $i++) { You’re creating a new instance of WP_Query to run a custom query and storing it in the $featuredPosts variable. But then you’re trying to use $featuredPosts as the upper limit of a for loop. This is what PHP is complaining about. Your … Read more
Since you’re using the default loop (not a custom one), you can check the counter for the first (0th) loop and alter your output just for that one. The WordPress support forum had a similar question that offered this bit of code: if( $wp_query->current_post == 0 && !is_paged() ) { /*first post*/ } You can … Read more
First, I recomend you to use pre_get_post hook for your purpose. If you are going to use only the new WP_Query in your theme, it has no sense that WordPress run a query before it gets your theme becuause it would be a extra work that will be discarded. Using pre_get_posts we can alter the … Read more
