Having taken a quick look at the wp-postviews documentation, it seems you can change query_posts( ‘posts_per_page=5’ ); to query_posts( ‘posts_per_page=5&v_sortby=views&v_orderby=desc’ );, but I haven’t tested that. Give it a shot and see how it turns out. A cautionary note on doing this: What often happens when you sort by views is that the first page … Read more
Not sure exactly what you mean by “x days or months”, but I’m assuming you want to set a time interval for the posts that you are querying. I would recommend that you take a look at the “Time Parameters” section in the Codex article on WP_Query. It does an excellent job explain how to … Read more
Your problem is bp_the_group(). This function doesn’t return a value – it’s akin to WP_Query’s the_post(). Try: ‘pagename => bp_get_current_group_slug()
To get a custom field value outside of the loop you need to call global $wp_query to get your post id. global $wp_query; $postid = $wp_query->post->ID; $image = get_post_meta($postid, ‘Thumbnail’, true);
You have so many things wrong with your code, to start WP_Query does not have ‘sort_column’ , or ‘depth’ parameters. the use of $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; does nothing at all and a few other things. What you need is to get the children (just the ids, no need to get the post object since you … Read more
You can view the actions and filters being used in your plugins and themes. I’m assuming something is hooked into the_post action somewhere. Dumping the following globals give you a peek behind the curtain here. global $wp_actions, $wp_filters; Once you identify the source, you either queue up the CSS properly in the HEAD, or remove … Read more
Something along the lines of get_post_custom() or get_post_meta() probably would suit your needs pretty well. You can feed either of them with get_the_ID() for the $post_id.
This looks like a simular issue to this one with wp-pageNavi: http://scribu.net/wordpress/wp-pagenavi/right-way-to-use-query_posts.html. Taxonomies and archives should use ‘page’, not ‘paged’ so use that in the urls to begin with. Then, to ensure your pagination script works in all locations you can change the way you get your $paged variable. Something like this should do it: … Read more
You can get custom field values with get_post_meta. Like so… <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query(‘post_type=customtype&showposts=10′.’&paged=’.$paged); while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); the_title(); // <- works if( $some_meta = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘the_meta_key_you_want’, true ) { // you could put other formatting here. echo $some_meta; } endwhile; You’ll need to change the_meta_key_you_want in the call to get_post_meta, of … Read more
A simple solution would be to add an alternating class to every other post in the list. In particular, (in your style.css) style the list elements <li> in one particular way, and then over-ride that style for list elements of a particular class <li class=”my-alternate-class”>. The class my-alternate-cass will applied to every other list element: … Read more
