Here are few suggestions if you use a tag for the “Tarot Card Of The Month” posts and want to randomly select a single post each month: It’s possible to order by random seed (see ticket here) in WP_Query. You could e.g. try it with the current month number. Note that ordering by random does … Read more
Something along these lines should work, not tested for syntax errors though function random_post() { $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ); $post = query_posts( $args ); } if(!$post->post_excerpt){ random_post(); } // Then down here you would do whatever with the $post object
You can try the new (4.7+) wp_list_sort() utility function that’s a wrapper for WP_List_Util::sort() that uses usort() or uasort(). Example 1: Sort by descending post date $sorted_custom_posts = wp_list_sort( $custom_posts, ‘post_date’, ‘DESC’ ); Example 2: Sort by descending post date and ascending post title $sorted_custom_posts = wp_list_sort( $custom_posts, [ ‘post_date’ => ‘DESC’, ‘post_title’ => ‘ASC’, … Read more
Considering the requirements that you’ve outlined, custom post types are definitely an appropriate choice for managing resources within WordPress. You get a CRUD interface right out of the box (just in case you’d like to leverage it) and WP All Import works nicely with WordPress posts, meta data, and taxonomies. There are great APIs for … Read more
I tried your code and is working fine for me $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘project’,’posts_per_page’ => -1,’year’ => date(‘Y’) – 2, ‘orderby’=> ‘title’,’order’ => ‘ASC’); $myposts = get_posts( $args ); The thing is as you can see he is only fetching the posts from 2015. If you don’t have any posts with the publish … Read more
I have this problem as well, @tony-djukic. I have an administrator user that can see two posts of a custom post type. I have two subscriber users, each are able to only see the opposite post as the other. Here’s what I’m using to (apparently not) get all the posts: get_posts(array( ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘post_type’ … Read more
The problem was that WordPress uses these functions based on post_date … I did an import from an old CMS to WordPress where I just added all posts within a loop. Some of the dates were a few seconds off. This caused the functions to return ‘false’ posts. I actually wrote a custom class that … Read more
Karun’s answer made me look more into the posts_where filter to find a better solution to hook into the WP_Query. After a bit more google searching I found this page that did it in a better way. Using that method I finally got it to work like this: add_filter(‘posts_where’, function ($where, $query) { global $wpdb; … Read more
The correct post status for published posts is publish. Post statuses are in present tense (So publish, not published, and draft, not drafted).
Can you not just go by date? Assuming you made a clean switch from classic to Gutenberg? Otherwise, there’s no definitive meta value, but you could just check the post content for common Gutenberg comments, such as <!– wp:paragraph –>.
