I don’t think this is what birgire intended (thank you though!) but this is my revised code after doing some research. Much shorter, and meets my needs, but I’d still like eyes on it just to be sure I’m not doing something stupid. The NOT IN array ” was to only retrieve pages that have … Read more
Sounds like your news-box isn’t using clean methods for pulling posts. I’m guessing that you are not using the get_posts() function. You’re probably creating a new WP_Query object from scratch? Try using get_posts(), as it will take care of keeping the original page query clean for you.
Read this response on how to properly use AJAX in plugins. If you just call a PHP script directly, WordPress is not loaded so no WP functions are available.
Did you try the example given in the codex? <?php global $post; $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => $number, ‘category’ => 6, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’ ); $myposts = get_posts( $args ); foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?> <li><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/20091/<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> This a modified version that … Read more
You can do it with a posts_where filter and a subquery. Note that you have to explicitly set suppress_filters to false, as get_posts normally ignores filters: function wpse28018_posts_where( $where ) { global $wpdb; $where .= ” AND {$wpdb->posts}.ID NOT IN ( SELECT DISTINCT post_id FROM {$wpdb->postmeta} WHERE meta_key = ‘alternate_page’ )”; return $where; } // … Read more
This is all sorts of wrong. First don’t use start_wp(); I think that was depreciated 4 years ago. Second your loop is messy, query_posts is for altering the main loop, aka not get_posts. So just write it normally using get_posts or WP Query. $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => 1, ‘offset’=> 0, ‘category_name’ => ‘carrs, dominicks, … Read more
Use this instead as your loop query.. <?php query_posts( ‘category_name=YOUR_CAT_NAME&showposts=15’ ); if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle. You need to be able to convert the postcodes into a numerical data format so you can query the pages/posts with “is greater than [current location minus 5 miles] and less than [current location plus 5 miles”. In two dimensions. This means storing the latitude and … Read more
I had a similar problem a while ago and helped answer it here. I didn’t have an account at the time though and can’t find the original post otherwise I’d link it. If I recall, Jan Fabry pretty much gave me marching orders and I hacked something out. Mind, I don’t know the exact nature … Read more
get_the_content() does what it’s supposed to, gets the content. You’re looking for get_the_excerpt(). 😉 Alternatively, using what you have, it should cut off wherever you put <!– more –> in your post when using get_the_content().
