you don’t need to call wp_reset_postdata() for get_posts() because it does not actually modify global variable $wp_query. $posts though is a global variable used by WordPress. Change that to a new name and what you have should work. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘quote’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’ ); $quote_posts = get_posts( $args … Read more
Inside get_posts() method of the WP_Query class (line 3769), you will find out this filter: $this->posts = apply_filters_ref_array( ‘the_posts’, array( $this->posts, &$this ) ); It’s the very first hook you can use to modify queried posts on both back-end and front-end. $this->posts is an array of queried posts so it’s easy to modify the content … Read more
Well, try the below code- $base_array = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘fields’ => ‘ids’, ‘post_type’ => ‘cpt’, ‘post_status’ => array(‘publish’), ‘date_query’ => array( ‘after’ => strtotime( ‘previous week Monday’ ), ‘before’ => strtotime( ‘previous week Friday’ ) ) ); $base = get_posts($base_array); I’ve not tested it. But I tested that below code returns the perfect … Read more
Making Milos’s comment into an answer…. The problem you are facing is the result of many wordpress template oriented functions expect some global variables. In WP_Query based loops setting those variable is done by calling the the_post() method of the WP_Query object, but with get_posts you need to call setup_postdata() for that. My personal preference … Read more
I know how to use include and exclude parameters of the get_posts function but how do I tell get_posts to exclude a document and every child page under it ? You can’t, get_posts won’t search for child posts if you exclude something, you have to tell it exactly what you want excluded I know that … Read more
It would be atypical for server configuration to have a direct impact on posts query, short of SQL explicitly misbehaving. Which would be quite an edge case. The much more common case would be some code attaching to query filters for its purposes and not being precise enough to target just the queries it needs … Read more
The get_children function retrieves posts (an upoaded image is also a post) that are dependent on the post with a certain ID. An image becomes a child of a post when it is uploaded while editing that post. It does not become a child of a post when it is reused. So if you are … Read more
The date format is incorrect. I’m not sure how you have stored the date, but the format you’ve used in the query, date(“MM d yy”) outputs ‘MarMar 07 1212’. It shouldn’t really matter that the input is being done by jQuery datepicker: The input should be in a pre-specified format – so you can interpret … Read more
get_posts() uses the WP_Query class to fetch posts. Usually, it returns an array of post objects. The $fields parameter for WP_Query accepts two valid arguments: ‘ids’ will make it return an array of post IDs and ‘id=>parent’ will make it return an associative array with the post objects properties as key => value pairs. Any … Read more
Use WP_Query‘s category__and: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘category__and’ => array( 93, 85 ) ); $my_query = new WP_Query( $args ); while( $my_query->have_posts() ): $my_query->the_post(); the_title(); endwhile; wp_reset_postdata();
