Order posts by custom field and if custom field is empty return remaining posts
When you specify a meta_key, query_posts() does an INNER JOIN between the wp_posts and wp_postmeta table. That means that any posts that don’t have any meta value for the key you specified won’t ever be returned in that query. In order to do what you need, you should use the same query you posted in … Read more

After that it was short work. function insert_post_wpse_96347($posts) { global $wp_query; $desired_post = 151; if (is_main_query() && is_home() && 0 == get_query_var(‘paged’)) { $p2insert = new WP_Query(array(‘p’=>$desired_post,’suppress_filters’=>true)); $insert_at = 3; if … Read more
Guidance with The Loop for CMS
Strictly, you don’t need to use a loop in a page template, but it doesn’t hurt, the content of the page will still load, the loop will simply only run once as there is only one post/page. Many themes include a loop in page templates, I guess for some compability issue. If you are building … Read more
