wp_reset_query(); resets the query to the original main query of the page. Therefore, storing the query in another variable is redundant and unnecessary. Updated code: $args = array( ‘cat’ => 15, ‘paged’ => $paged ); $custom_query = new WP_Query( $args ); while ($custom_query -> have_posts()) : $custom_query -> the_post(); endwhile; my_pagination(); //call function wp_reset_query(); //#3. … Read more
If it were me, here’s how I’d achieve this. Preface Assuming the following data structures: Post type: “dictionary” Taxonomy: “dictionary_category”, terms limited to single letters And the desired URLs: /dictionary/ => page (this should work out-of-the-box) /dictionary/rules/ => page /dictionary/x/ => Taxonomy archive /dictionary/x/xavier/ => Single post view 1. Set the post type and taxonomy … Read more
// Query user data on admins $administrators = new WP_User_Query( array( ‘role’ => ‘administrator’ ) ); // Query user data on contributors $contributors = new WP_User_Query( array( ‘role’ => ‘contributor’ ) ); // Save admin IDs foreach( $administrators->results as $u ) $user_ids[] = $u->ID; // Save contributor IDs foreach( $contributors->results as $u ) $user_ids[] = … Read more
This is what worked. You can see the results at m.angiemeekerdesigns.com/totd. I am still working on getting the lower posts to have fewer words in their excerpts, and to have slightly different styling, but I think that’s a different question than this one. /** * * Display the Tip of the Day Custom Post Type … Read more
You are probably getting a rewrite conflict with the has_archive argument here: $args = array( ‘labels’ => $labels, ‘description’ => ‘Holds our services and service specific data’, ‘public’ => true, ‘menu_position’ => 5, ‘supports’ => array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’ ), ‘has_archive’ => true, ); Set has_archive to false if you do not want the automatically … Read more
Use $tax_query = $query->get( ‘tax_query’ ); to get the existing tax_query, modify it by adding your changes, then use $query->set( ‘tax_query’, new_$tax_query ); to put the whole thing back.
A better solution than the one you found on your own, would be to only retrieve matching posts in the first place. As is, you are potentially retrieving the wrong data. With your code (your solution), what happens if the two posts in the result set don’t match? You get no output at all. Your … Read more
Unlike the_excerpt(), which auto-generates an excerpt from the content if one does not exist, get_the_excerpt() merely returns the contents of the post_excerpt field. Instead, use apply_filters( ‘the_excerpt’, get_the_excerpt() ), which will trigger the same processing as the_excerpt(), but return the output rather than echo it.
Your problem is the weird code at the top of the page. To understand what’s happening let me state a standard loop in pseudocode: if we still have posts to process while we still have posts to process mark this post as processed and move to the next one do things with it ( like … Read more
The problem is how you’re doing the exclusion. It’s happening after you’ve grabbed your second quote. If it matches the first quote, it just silently fails to appear. Try this for your 2nd block: <blockquote class=”container” style=”color:#1f8665;”> <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘quotes’, ‘thesections’ => ‘yoga’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘post__not_in’ => array( $do_not_duplicate ), … Read more
