It all boils down to WP_Query in the end even if you use get_posts, here’s my modified version: $hasposts = get_posts(‘post_type=sc-events&category=40’); if( !empty ( $hasposts ) ) { ..// show the drop down menu } or $query = new WP_Query(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘sc-events’, ‘category’ => 40 )); if( $query->have_posts() ){ echo ‘we have posts’; } … Read more
The WordPress function get_posts() is making it’s own instance of WP_Query that is not globally accessible: function get_posts($args = null) { // … cut … $get_posts = new WP_Query; return $get_posts->query($r); } so you could instead try $results = get_posts($args); echo count($results); to give you the array count of post objects returned by get_posts(). WP_Query() … Read more
You cannot make up your own arguments – rather than replacing the ‘category’ argument with your taxonomy name, use ‘tax_query’. See “taxonomy parameters” section of the codex on get_posts. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘event’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘eventcategory’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => ‘nice-events’, ), ), ); $your_query … Read more
You can get that value with get_option(‘posts_per_page’);
Yes, simple add a filter before you call it and remove it after you do function filter_where_wpa89154($where=””) { //posts in the last 30 days $where .= ” AND post_date > ‘” . date(‘Y-m-d’, strtotime(‘-30 days’)) . “‘”; return $where; } add_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘filter_where_wpa89154’); $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘suppress_filters’ … Read more
If $banner_id_list holds comma-delimited list then to convert it to array instead of array($banner_id_list) you need to do explode(‘,’, $banner_id_list)
Never use query_posts! Use get_posts() or new WP_Query() instead. I think this will work however: $today = date(“Y/m/j”); $args = (array( ‘post_type’ => ‘event’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 10, ‘orderby’ => array( ‘wpse_meta_query_name’ => ‘ASC’, ‘post_title’ => ‘DESC’ // optional second orderby paramater ), ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘wpse_meta_query_name’ => array( // give the meta query arguments a … Read more
Your $paged variable on the first is set in the main query. And there is just one page, because it is a page. The get_posts() calls don’t affect that. So the number of all available pages is never higher than the current page, and you cannot get a next page link. Solution: filter pre_get_posts and … Read more
I’ve finally solved this problem. I’m copying the code because it may help someone 🙂 I’ve found the solution by populating an arrray and checking if a brand is or is not there, so I only get each brand one time. <?php //Query to match department $args = array( ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => … Read more
Huh. I double-checked. On my local server, this bit of code successfully changes the post: function test_redirect() { global $wp_query; $wp_query->set(‘page_id’, 5); } add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘test_redirect’); You’re going to have to do a bit of debugging. On a dev server, var_dump the $wp_query variable a few key places to check that it has what you expect … Read more
