If you are running a cron file in crontab then. including WP files will not help as it doesnot run as a wordpress file. it is like a simple php script. You will not get access to access wordpress functions. you will have to run php script and connect using php connection to the database. … Read more
There’s a function called get_category_parents that will return a list of parents based on the ID. You can then loop through this list to display the parents.
You can use prepare: global $wpdb; $post_ids = []; $last_id = 350; $query = $wpdb->prepare( ” SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID > %d “, $last_id ); $results = $wpdb->get_results( $query ); // it will convert the IDs from row objects to an array of IDs foreach ( $results as $row ) { array_push( $post_ids, … Read more
Not the best, but works well for me: (you can use this instead of what’s in the question) $postcount = 0; //global $wp_query; // Uncomment if necessary. // Group the posts by category. $groups = []; foreach ( $wp_query->posts as $i => $p ) { $terms = wp_get_post_terms( $p->ID, ‘show_category’ ); foreach ( $terms as … Read more
I would recommend switching to a standard post loop: $args = [ ‘posts_per_page’ => 12, ‘category_name’ => ‘featured’, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ]; $query = new \WP_Query($args); if ( $query->have_posts() ) { while ( $query->have_posts() ) { $query->the_post(); ….. } \wp_reset_postdata(); } Note that I: switched to modern PHP array syntax of [] … Read more
I would a bit more detail (or your starting code ) to see where you’re putting this or how you want to use it but from what I see you need to add a counter to your iteration and then use a modulo operator: a sample query would look like this though: $winnners_query = new … Read more
The query is right and its working. But should I reset something? Yes! Should I reset them both or just one of them, or is it fine like above? Neither! Your WP_Query object is self contained in $query, so there’s no reason to touch the $wp_query global variable, why would you? $wp_query represents the main … Read more
get_post_format() returns the post format slug for either the current post, when used inside a loop, or a given post, when a WP_Post object or an integer post ID is passed to it as a parameter. So, if you’re using the function in a posts loop, then you can use it like this, while ( … Read more
The problem is you aren’t saving your custom query’s results. To do it your way, you would need to save the query’s results to a variable, like so: $myposts = query_posts( $archive_args ); if ( $myposts->have_posts() ) : while ($myposts->have_posts()) : $myposts->the_post(); However, that’s not the most efficient way. WP runs the default query in … Read more
I had a similar problem couple years ago. Here’s a gist I’ve published, which shows the basic idea how I solved the problem,https://gist.github.com/koskinenaa/4d8461116885c0e64d5ca167ae53434d Applying the gist to your situation I think the solution could be something like this. I didn’t test this so it might require some tweaking, but it should at least point you … Read more
