I think you might be jumping the gun with actively discarding the data here. What if next month trolls go away, you change your mind, and want all those featured images back? I would just suppress them on front end by editing template and making thumbnail output conditional or filtering API with something like this: … Read more
Instead of trying to do this through the orderby parameter, I went a different direction. Logically, the orderby parameter above only applies to the posts within each grouping, not the taxonomy term grouping itself so it won’t work for this. What I ended up doing was adding 01, 02, 03, etc. to the taxonomy term … Read more
If you are simply trying to echo the excerpt in a specific part of a theme, you can simply use the following code within the loop: <?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo substr( $excerpt, 0, 15 ) . ‘…’; ?> If you want to filter the excerpt globally (in archives, blog pages, etcetera) to match any … Read more
‘LIKE’ isn’t supported by the current version of WP_Tax_Query, so you’ll need to write a custom query. This answer from a couple of years ago still seems to be the best approach: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/133805/26317.
Your code should work, it might be that your posts per page option in back end is set to 1. It would be beneficial to explicitely set posts_per_page in your query args. You can also make the code faster if you only need to know the amount of grandchild posts, you can just return the … Read more
use wpdb query instead: “SELECT DISTINCT wposts.* FROM $wpdb->posts wposts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta ON wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON (wposts.ID = $wpdb->term_relationships.object_id) LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy ON ($wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id) WHERE post_date >= {$lastvisit} AND $wpdb->term_taxonomy.taxonomy = ‘category’ “; I did not test this but should work. I also suggest you to use … Read more
Sound like you want to use the_category() Displays a link to the category or categories a post belongs to. This tag must be used within The Loop.
Nested arrays can be used to create complex Meta Query’s. An example of how this would apply to your situation. $meta_query_args = array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( // Conditions ), array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( // Conditions ), array( // Conditions ) ) ); For more information check: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Meta_Query
How to get all posts in gallery post format template
Im guessing it is because you are using echo the_post_thumbnail_url(array(300, 150)); instead of the_post_thumbnail_url(array(300, 150)); the_post_thumbnail_url echos the output for you. Another observation, the the_post_thumbnail_url uses the post data that is setup using setup_postdata, so there is no need for these two lines: $thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post, ‘news-image’); $url = wp_get_attachment_thumb_url($thumb_id, ‘300, 300’);
