get_posts() not working with multiple statuses
The correct post status for published posts is publish. Post statuses are in present tense (So publish, not published, and draft, not drafted).
get-posts
Creating query to show which editor (classic or block) was last used to edit a post/page
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 –>.
Ordering posts in get_posts
You can set the orderby to post__in. Here is a superior post loop: $args = [ ‘post__in’ => [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], ‘orderby’ => ‘post__in’, ]; $q = new \WP_Query( $args ); if ( $q->have_posts() ) { while ( $q->have_posts() ) { $q->the_post(); ?> <article id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>> <?php the_title(); … Read more

Can I use numberposts=-1 and offset together when using get_posts()?
I believe the issue is that the underlying MySQL query requires a LIMIT clause to go with the OFFSET clause. (I tried to verify this about MySQL and found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/255517/mysql-offset-infinite-rows ). Since MySQL can’t accept those parameters (offset without a limit), WordPress seems to drop the offset argument. It’s still a little hacky, but … Read more
how to exclude “featured” posts from the main loop?
This would be an appropriate use of query_posts(), with a post custom meta query. Since you’re querying by meta_key=featured_article&meta_value=on, you would then exclude on the same parameters. <?php // Setup the custom meta-query args $exclude_featured_args = array( ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘featured_article’, ‘value’ => ‘on’, ‘compare’ => ‘!=’ ) ) ); // globalize … Read more
Only retrieve posts where post_excerpt has been filled out
