it is important to read this Codex chapter all the way to the end, as the essential suggestions are after this heading ‘Note for Multiple Posts in the First Category’; repetitive, tedious code: <?php $do_not_duplicate = array(); ?> <?php $mosaics = new WP_Query(‘category_name=mosaics&posts_per_page=5’); ?> <?php while ($mosaics->have_posts()) : $mosaics->the_post(); ?> <?php $do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID; ?> … Read more

If the code for the ‘actual template’ you posted is in the single-people.php… you do not need any query at all! When you call the url mysite.com/people/firstname-lastname wordpress already know that you want to view that person, only search for a file that display it. Normally, wordpress, in this case, search for the file single-people.php … Read more
You haven’t created a query to return your post index results. Let me back up… In WordPress something called the “Main” query runs very early in the page load, and well before your template files load. That query retrieves the posts to display and also (more or less) determines which template file to use to … Read more
This is a near duplicate of a number of questions here, but the “single random result” might make it somewhat distinct. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘no_found_rows’ => true ); $child = new WP_Query($args); var_dump($child->posts); You are telling WP_Query to pick 1) pages, 2) with … Read more
Why not do it via URL parameter? You said you can’t because Codex told you not to. But if you want to anyway, you could use a GET parameter: // http://example.com/page-slug/?direction=DESC if($_GET[‘direction’] == ‘DESC’){ $order=”DESC”; } else { $order=”ASC”; } $args = array( … … ‘order’ => $order, );
if your terms and their slugs are: red, blue, green, yellow. <div data-tag=”<?php echo $terms_portfolio[0]->slug; ?>” would output only the first <div data-tag=”red” if you do <?php $terms_portfolio_slugs = array(); foreach ($terms_portfolio as $tp) { $terms_portfolio_slugs[] = $tp->slug; } $terms_portfolio_csv = implode (‘, ‘,$portfoliotags); ?> <div data-tag=”<?php echo $terms_portfolio_csv?>”> your output would be all of … Read more
You’ll either have to sort/order your products manually or create a custom sort order within WooCommerce. For that take a look at the WooCommerce docs and this snippet for doing just that. In this case you’re also going to have to do a bit of MySQL manipulation as well so that you’re sorting the numbers … Read more
How I have done custom queries in the past is use $wpdb->get_col() and just returned an array of IDs of the posts. Then I pass that to a get_posts() passing the IDs to the post__in parameter. That way you can then use WP standard controls.
You might be running up against WordPress’s global $blog_id variable in test case #2. Try this: foreach($sites as $my_blog_id => $name) { switch_to_blog($my_blog_id); $sites[$my_blog_id] = get_bloginfo(‘name’); restore_current_blog(); }
