If you search the site, most of the “display nth post different” questions are very closely related to this one, and honestly this is more a PHP + logic question that a WordPress one. if (have_posts()) { $curr_letter=””; echo ‘<div class=”alphawrapper”>’; while (have_posts()) { the_post(); $title = get_the_title(); $title_array = explode(‘ ‘, $title); $second_word = … Read more
I believe you want get_queried_object. That will return information about the page per se and not necessarily about the posts/pages being displayed in the Loop. Be aware that it returns very different information depending on the type of page you are one. It will return user information on an author archive, for example, but category … Read more
Yes, You can call action “pre_get_posts”. add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’search_filter’); You can add parameter : $args = array( ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 6, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘meta_key’ => ‘event_date’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ ); You can use above parameter e.g. : function search_filter($query){ if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set(‘post_status’, ‘publish’); $query->set(‘meta_key’, ‘event_date’); $query->set(‘orderby’, … Read more
I don’t think you need so many transients set, one for each category. You can only use one, that is enough. Transients are quite expensive to set as it requires additional db queries, so you would want to cut down on the use. As always, I like to keep my templates simple, short and sweet, … Read more
I can’t use only one Loop because of how complicated my markup is. Markup, no matter how complicated, should never ever be a valid basis when coming to deciding to run multiple loops. Multiple loops should only ever be used if there is absolutely no other means to achieve a certain result, and that is … Read more
Ultimately, this question is off-topic, because the solution has nothing to do with WordPress. Outputting posts in a grid pattern is an HTML/CSS issue, and the best-practice solutions don’t involve putting every three posts inside a separate containing <div>. Even so, you can do what you want to do, using PHP (which, technically speaking, still … Read more
You could hook into template_redirect and execute a helper function: add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘wpse_75558_count’ ); function wpse_75558_count() { if ( is_singular() ) setPostViews( get_the_ID() ); } To display the post views, you have to use a later hook. I would recommend the_content: add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpse_75558_show_count’ ); function wpse_75558_show_count( $content ) { $count = getPostViews( get_the_ID() ); … Read more
You can do this in one loop without as custom query. A couple of clever functions should get you there So lets look at a solution. First things first. I would suggest to separate your code completely here for easiness of reading and organisation. Roll back the changes in content.php and use this template only … Read more
Pagination is calculated before you get to the template file that runs query_posts. The proper way to alter posts_per_page conditionally is to use the pre_get_posts hook to modify the main query.
You could do it with one loop, you just need a valid sort order right? Players with one instrument, followed by the next and so on.. UPDATE: Following on the asker’s comment, you can still use one query and use rewind_posts() to iterate the loop as many times as you need, ie. do something like … Read more
