There are several problems in your provided code. $query -> while( have_posts() ) The WP_Query() return type is object. You are referring to a method that doesn’t exist. Instead, you should use the following: while( $query->have_posts() ) {…} wp_reset_postdata(); inside the conditional This function resets the post’s data, as it suggests. If you use it … Read more
Tags are a taxonomy called post_tag. You can use them in get_posts() via the tax_query. Since wp_get_post_tags() returns an array of objects, you need to clean it up a bit since only one field per object is required for the query. $tag_objects = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID); $tags = array(); foreach ($tag_objects as $tag_object) { $tags[] = $tag_object->term_id; … Read more
Looks like I was on the right track. using update_post_meta does not update the modified date of a post, so what you have to do is update the content of the post. Luckily for me, I was not using the content, only custom meta. So updating the content with a random string whenever I updated … Read more
Based on @birgire’s always-useful comments, I did write a workaround for you. What I’m doing is to first find the terms that match the search string. Then, based on the found terms I will do a query in those. function wpse_posts_by_tagname( $string ) { // Let’s find every tag that has ‘coffee’ in it’s name … Read more
Converting a dynamic piece of code into a static one is a pretty straight forward task. It’s the other way that is complex. Any WordPress function that can accept get_the_ID(), can also accept a string as an ID. Some even accept arrays. So, simply turning get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘t_puck_imvi’, true); to get_post_meta( 123 , ‘t_puck_imvi’, true); Will … Read more
Use WP_Query with offset like this <?php $offset = 6; $post_args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => $offset, ); $slider_blog_posts = new WP_Query( $post_args ); ?> <?php if ( $slider_blog_posts->have_posts() ): ?> <div class=”carousel”> <?php while( $slider_blog_posts->have_posts() ): $slider_blog_posts->the_post(); ?> <?php get_carousel_slide( get_the_ID, true); ?> <?php endwhile; ?> </div> <?php endif; ?> <?php wp_reset_postdata(); … Read more
If I understand your goal correctly, I would create two queries. The first will retrieve only the featured post. We’ll display that post on the first page only and store its ID to use later. Then, a second query will get all of the remaining posts. // first query to retrieve the featured post $featured_post_id … Read more
I see two ways to go about it, both quite similar. A) You can collect IDs of displayed posts in an array and then exclude those with post__not_in query parameter like so: $years_loop = get_terms( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘works_year’, ‘orderby’ => ‘slug’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ) ); // array for displayed posts, we will update … Read more
You can save the $post in some temp variable and just set the $post back to the temp variable global $post; while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); //Set up custom query $args = array( //Query args ); $custom_query = new WP_Query( $args ); //Custom query loop: while ( $custom_query->have_posts() ) : $custom_query->the_post(); // Save global … Read more
You won’t get a 404 because WP can find the page, and it then delegates the request to the template file where you added your own logic. You could build your own 404 handling in that file, but a better way is to use a the archive.php (or archive-post.php for just this post type) to … Read more
