WordPress caches the user information. There’s really no problem just to call get_userdata every time you need it. The only thing you are doing by transfering it to a variable $userdata is have WP fetch it from another place in the memory. Note: read this post for a more general dealing with passing variables to … Read more
Thanks everyone for all the help! I really appreciate it. I was able to make it work by removing [0] in $imgsrc = $img[0]; and using custom_get_meta() like: $img = post_movie_get_meta(‘featured_img’) and: $img = post_movie_get_meta(‘backdrop_img’)
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Properties found_posts is the total number of posts returned by the query. example code: <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘your_custom’ ); $custom_query = new WP_Query( $args ); if( $custom_query->have_posts() ) { $number_of_posts = $custom_query->found_posts; while( $custom_query->have_posts() ) { $custom_query->the_post(); if( $number_of_posts == 1 ) { the_content(); } else { the_excerpt(); } } wp_reset_postdata(); } … Read more
Notice that there are no echo statements, so nothing will be output. You need to echo the result, or nothing will be sent to the browser. If it was just a basic loop (without a blue container) I could style the posts with nth-child formula, but I need to place this container in between the … Read more
you can create a simple counter and condition: <?php $count = 0; ?> <?php if( $query->have_posts() ) : ?> <ul class=”posts”> <?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); if ($count < 5){ ?> <li> <?php the_title(); ?> </li> <?php }else{ echo ‘</ul><ul class=”posts”>’; ?> <li> <?php the_title(); ?> </li> <?php $count = 0; } $count … Read more
If you are using netbeans and xdebug, or have set up your debugging environment correctly then you can observe the variables, objects e.t.c as they change. To see when they are created and what is contained within objects such as wp_query or wp_rewrite your posts->ID is set once the function wp() is called in wp-blog-header.php. … Read more
Here’s a rewritten version of your code <ul id=”questions” class=”subpage”> <?php $current_id = get_the_ID(); $index_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘faq’, ‘orderby’ => ‘modified’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘-1’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ ) ); while ( $index_query->have_posts() ) : $index_query->the_post(); if(get_the_ID() == $current_id) echo ‘this post has the same ID as the current global one’; ?> … Read more
I’m not sure why your blank variable method should work, but it seems dodgy to me. I would explicitly set the posts_per_page to the number defined in settings: ‘posts_per_page’ => get_option( ‘posts_per_page’ )
If themes don’t use post_class, which is what generates what you call the “default post class structure”, it is going to be difficult, and may be something you have to deal with on a theme by theme basis. There are very few hooks in the Loop itself that you can use, and while things like … Read more
