I see a number of issues, aside from the use of query_posts ( this should raise immediate alarm bells ). I strongly recommend you don’t use the alt syntax, and that you minimise the unnecessary opening and closing PHP tags as it obscures your code. Here is a cleaned up version of your first query … Read more
You can use $current_post property of WP_Query $query_args = array( “posts_per_page” => “5” ); $listedPosts = new WP_Query($query_args); // the loop if ( $listedPosts->have_posts() ) { while ( $listedPosts->have_posts() ) { $listedPosts->the_post(); if ( (int) $listedPosts->current_post === 0 ) { // loop content for hero post } else { // loop content for remaining posts … Read more
First: don’t use query_post for secondary loops. It alter the main query and you can end up with wire results. Instead use a new WP_Query instance. See this question for detail info. Now with your proble. You are using the “cat” parameter and that is for “category” taxonomy, not for your custom taxonomy. You should … Read more
You only need the if ( have_posts() ) : if, as the name of the function suggets, you need to do something different if you don’t have posts. This would be something like displaying a “No posts found.” message. But you’d only need that on templates that could show no posts, like archives and search. … Read more
Have you tried using $wp_query ? global $wp_query; var_dump($wp_query->query_vars); For a single variable, you can use get_query_var Or you could try just dumping the $_POST , var_dump( $_POST ); Or maybe var_dump( $GLOBALS[‘post’] );
I’m using something like this: date(‘F, Y’, strtotime($data[0]->post_date));
The posts are still held in memory under WordPress’ cache mechanism (even though you replace $posts on every loop) – delete each one after operating on it: # do some echoing with the $post # wipe post from memory wp_cache_delete( $post->ID, ‘posts’ ); wp_cache_delete( $post->ID, ‘post_meta’ ); Pro tip: save some needless queries with no_found_rows … Read more
When WordPress include the category.php (just like any other template) the main query (i.e. the query triggered by the url) is already ran: it means that a query on database was already fired and this is the reason why in a template you can run the Loop without calling a query. If you call get_posts … Read more
Try passing it as an array. For example $args = array( ‘p’ => 1234, ‘post_type’ => ‘any’, ‘post_status’ => array(‘draft’) ); Or for all types $args = array( ‘p’ => 1234, ‘post_type’ => ‘any’, ‘post_status’ => array(‘publish’, ‘pending’, ‘draft’, ‘auto-draft’, ‘future’, ‘private’, ‘inherit’, ‘trash’) );
This little snippet could help you. $years = array(); if( have_posts() ) { while( have_posts() ) { the_post(); $year = get_the_date( ‘Y’ ); if ( ! isset( $years[ $year ] ) ) $years[ $year ] = array(); $years[ $year ][] = array( ‘title’ => get_the_title(), ‘permalink’ => get_the_permalink() ); } } This code gets all … Read more
