The Problem $my_posts doesn’t contain any posts. It contains post IDs and likes. And you’re dropping both into post__in, which can’t work. I guess even the number of posts wouldn’t work if the plugin(?) wouldn’t add any post with a 0-x integer to the db-table per default. The Debug Try the following: $my_likes = $wpdb->get_col(“SELECT … Read more
$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; query_posts( array( ‘post_type’ => array( ‘post’, ‘features’, ), ‘category_name’ => ‘Featured’, ‘paged’ => $paged ) ); // have some posts? if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); // the loop endwhile; endif; ?>
Here’s an example that will list all the mobile_review posts that have the term htc_desire_hd in the taxonomy mobile_phone : $tax_query = array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’ ); $tax_query[] = array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘mobile_phone’, ‘terms’ => array(‘htc_desire_hd’), ‘field’ => ‘slug’ ); $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘mobile_review’, ‘tax_query’ => $tax_query ); $custom_loop = new WP_Query( $args … Read more
You should use wpdb to query the database and then insert them into the loop (loop.php).
Are you using ‘posts_per_page’ and ‘paged’ in the query string? if not try to add $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; $query .= ‘posts_per_page=5&paged=’.$paged Number 5 will be replaced with the number of posts after which you want the next page (pagination) link to show up. Also remove the if statement on the next … Read more
To order using post based custom fields you have to store your variable in an actual field using add_post_meta or update_post_meta, or manually add it to the post field. That way you can use WP Query to query the meta value for that field and order by the value. For example; //adds a value to … Read more
A better solution would be to add the filter hooks before the actual call in the template and removing theme when done meaning in your theme before you call your sidebar using dynamic_sidebar or what ever use this: add_filter( ’embed_defaults’, ‘small_embed_defaults’ ); dynamic_sidebar(‘my_sidebar’); remove_filter( ’embed_defaults’, ‘small_embed_defaults’ ); and the same with your main loop: add_filter( … Read more
As per comment trying to do this in one action will probably cause unholy pagination issues. It might be easier to limit main query to normal posts, query posts with formats separately (depending on what you have in normal posts by date) and mix two sets together on display.
Because of query mechanics either $paged or $offset is used, but not both at the same time. Basically if you want custom offset then it is assumed that you do not want pagination. You would probably need to hook into post_limits and change generated LIMIT SQL to adjust offset, unless there is an easier way … Read more
I think the problem is that you’re calling get_post() (note: singular) instead of get_posts() (note: plural). EDIT Other problems: The get_posts() function uses the category array key, rather than category_name. The category array key expects category ID, rather than category slug. You’re not wrapping your looped list items (<li>…</li>) properly (i.e. within <ul></ul> tags)
