Take a look the section called Preserving Existing Query Parameters on http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts Try merging in the existing query parameters; they might be getting overridden. Instead of: <?php query_posts(‘cat=4’); ?> try global $query_string; query_posts( $query_string . ‘&cat=4’ );
This is a bit messy to do in MySQL, given the lack of a preg_replace – the following uses a nested REPLACE to strip all numbers from the title: function wpse167989_posts_orderby( $orderby, $query ) { global $wpdb; // Strip all numbers from title, and trim any leading spaces. return $wpdb->prepare( ‘LTRIM(‘ . str_repeat( ‘REPLACE(‘, 10 … Read more
Well first of all, that tutorial is “doing it wrong” in the AJAX department. WordPress has an AJAX API, which should be used in this case. That said, the basis of your problem is this: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => $numPosts, ‘paged’ => $page ); Those are your query arguments for the posts you’re requesting. … Read more
You can make use of the build in loop counter, $current_post which you can access in the main query with $wp_query->current_post. (Just a note, the counter starts at 0, so post 1 will be 0) The main query uses WP_Query, $wp_query being the query variable used, so have a look at the Methods and Properties … Read more
The custom properties you refer to are dates which a stored in a custom table, and which are joined onto the query for events. At this point in time, when querying events, this table is only joined when only the ‘event’ post type is being queried. That is, you can search for events – but … Read more
Use below code <?php $isFirst = true; $i=1; foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ): $description = $attachment->post_content; if($i==1) { echo ‘<div class=”item’.$isFirst.'” data-description=”‘ . $description . ‘”>’; echo wp_get_attachment_image($attachment->ID, ‘large’); echo ‘</div>’; } else { echo ‘<div class=”item” data-description=”‘ . $description . ‘”>’; echo wp_get_attachment_image($attachment->ID, ‘large’); echo ‘</div>’; } $i++; endforeach; ?>
The main query runs before the template is loaded. WordPress knows what template to load based on the results of that query. If you want to insert an additional query into the content area, either create a shortcode, or add a filter on the_content and do your page check/query output there.
You need to specify the post type to be a post – try this for your $args instead: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, // Specifying you want posts only ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ); And most importantly, you need to apply the $args to your query, so do this … Read more
You need to call global $post before using $post->ID, or better, use get_the_ID() instead.
As this is a presentational thing, I’d be inclined to use CSS (there are of course ways of doing it in PHP, and others may disagree.) You’d make use of the counter-reset and counter-increment properties. CSS counters can be applied to any element, not just ordered-lists (<ol></ol>) and added using pseudo-elements and you can control … Read more
