Welcome to WPSE Jason, get_posts is for querying posts, and the tax_query part of that allows you to select posts which belong to taxonomies of a certain criteria. To get the taxonomy terms of a particular post, use get_the_terms, to which you pass the post’s ID and a taxonomy. It returns an array of taxonomy … Read more
The get_posts() function only returns one post type at a time. So if you query for ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, by default you won’t get any Pages returned. This should work: <?php $wpse53292_posts = get_posts( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘exclude’ => array( 3, 5 ) ) ); ?>
You need to reset the post data after your get_posts loop since your calling setup_postdata. It would be better to remove the setup_postdata all together. global $post; $recent_posts = get_posts( $yourargshere ); foreach($recent_posts as $post) : $return = ‘<h4 class=”recent-post-title c0″>’ . $post->post_title . ‘</h4>’; $return .= ‘<p class=”recent-content c0″>’ . apply_filters( ‘the_excerpt’, $post->post_excerpt ) … Read more
You should be able to use a custom query to achieve this. This codex example might be of use.
yes i tried both. it was still hapenning. at the end i discovered it was an error coming from the index.php – one line of code i had added following a tutorial which i forgot to remove after. removing it brought everything back to normal. sorry to bother, but it might help someone else.
$args = array( ‘author’ => 1, ‘numberposts’ => 1 ); The author parameter isn’t documented on the get_posts() codex page, but it does work.
One solution is to add a custom field to the posts. Call it index_position or something similar. Create a nice meta_box if you want the client to be happy. Then, when you query for posts in your template, ask for posts sorted by your custom field in a meta_query: $song_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ … Read more
It’s not clear why you’re using query_posts or get_posts at all, WordPress does the main query for you before loading the template. If you simply want to change posts_per_page to something other than your site-wide settings, use pre_get_posts.
Try the following using WP_Query: <div class=”news-column”> <h3>Latest News</h3> <ul> <?php //get news $args->posts_per_page = 5; //query $query = new WP_Query($args); while($query->have_posts()):$query->the_post(); ?> <li class=”news-item”> <h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4> <p><?php the_date(‘F jS, Y’); ?></p> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <p class=”footnotes”><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/69725/<?php the_permalink(); ?>”>Continue reading</a></p> </li> <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?> </ul> </div> You can read more about other … Read more
Get all children categories using get_terms(). Loop through each term and run a new query using tax_query. Example: <?php if ( get_queried_object()->parent == 0 ) : // parent cat ?> <h2>Showing all children</h2> <?php $args = array( ‘hide_empty’ => false, ‘parent’ => get_queried_object()->term_id ); $terms = get_terms( ‘category’, $args ); if ( $terms ) echo … Read more
