Use the pre_get_posts action to modify the main query. Place this in your functions.php file: function wpa71787_home_tag_query( $query ) { if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘tag’, ‘reviews’ ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpa71787_home_tag_query’ ); You can set any valid parameters of WP_Query with this method. Edit, secondary query excluding tagged posts, use … Read more
Neither of those are complete loops. That is, in both you have the start of an if but not the end of it, and the start of a while loop, but no the end of it. Also, you shouldn’t be using query_posts either, as it over writes the main query and is rarely the right … Read more
It sounds like you need to override the $more default. Do this: <div class=”entry-summary”> <?php global $more; $more = 0; the_content(); ?> </div> It is a solution pretty much straight from the Codex.
This is a general solution for all taxonomies. To be used inside the loop (else replace get_the_ID() with post ID ): $taxonomy = ‘category’; $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), $taxonomy ); if( $terms ){ $term_slugs = array_map(‘esc_attr’,wp_list_pluck( $terms, ‘slug’)); $class = implode(‘ ‘, $term_slugs); }else{ $class=”no-term”; }
Assuming you’re only trying to display your blog posts index on a page other than the front page (i.e. because you’ve assigned a static page as your site front page), you shouldn’t need to do anything special. Refer to the Codex for step-by-step instructions for creating a static front page and separate page for your … Read more
the_post – Iterate the post index in The Loop. Retrieves the next post, sets up the post, sets the ‘in the loop’ property to true. while (have_posts()) { the_post(); after you trigger the_post your the_excerpt shold return different values.
You have to pass pagination parameters to your queries as well. As it is, you are just pulling 5 posts. By default that is going to be the most recent five. Then another query pulls the next five. The fact that you are trying to paginate two loops makes this trickier than normal. However… At … Read more
The has_tag() conditional does not have to be used inside the Loop; it can be passed a $post object as a second parameter: has_tag( $tag, $post ); Since has_tag() defaults to the current post, you simply need to pass it the object for the next adjacent post. Fortunately, WordPress provides a function to retrieve adjacent … Read more
You don’t have to determine what type it is to query it, you just have to set the proper arguments to override defaults. First off, we’ll use WP_Query to do additional queries instead of query_posts. If we only set the p argument, post_type defaults to post, so we won’t get any pages: $query = new … Read more
For the sidebar bit, you should be using a new Wp_Query: if ( $query->is_category(‘movies’) ): $movies = new Wp_Query(‘tag=movie-reviews’); while ( $movies->have_posts() ) : $movies->the_post(); get_template_part( ‘sidebar-reviews’, get_post_format() ); endwhile; else: get_template_part( ‘no-results’, ‘index’ ); endif; You don’t need query filters for anything except the main loop on a page.
