I’d use the current_post property of the WP_Query class instance, which in your case is the $query. So here I check if $query->current_post is greater than or equals to 1: <div class=”carousel-item col-md-4 <?php echo $query->current_post >= 1 ? ” : ‘active’; ?>”> Resource: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Properties
You should be able to get the queried object id and use that for comparison inside your custom loop.. Before your existing loop code(what you have posted above), but obviously after the opening PHP tag.. global $wp_query; $current_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id(); Then somewhere inside your custom WP loops.. if( $current_id == get_the_ID() ) { // This … Read more
Assuming you are using WordPress v3.x (as I don’t remember how this works in earlier versions) this is what you need to do if starting from scratch: Create a “Page“ and call it “Home Page” (or whatever.) Create another Page and call it “Blog” (or whatever.) In the admin console select the “Settings” > “Reading” … Read more
You could also use ‘post_parent’ => 0. All unattached attachments are assigned ‘post_parent’ = 0. Here is where I found that. I’m sure that there is a more authoritative resource somewhere, but this worked for me. 🙂
You need an orderby argument. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘custom_advert’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 2, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’ ); That should pull posts in a random order and stop after retrieving the first two, hence two random posts.
is_category() does this: (…) Checks if a Category archive page is being displayed. (…) One line below on the codex page you find: To test if a post is in a category use in_category(). So just use the latter.
I guess you have: the_content(); wp_link_pages(); in your theme file. So you can instead try the following (PHP 5.4+): /** * Append the wp_link_pages to the content. */ ! is_admin() && add_filter( ‘the_content’, function( $content ) { if( in_the_loop() ) { $args = [ ‘echo’ => false ]; // <– Adjust the arguments to your … Read more
query_posts() is useful in cases when there is no main query: calls to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, wp-admin/admin-post.php or wp-login.php for example. Yes, you can achieve the same results there without query_posts() and slightly less compact code instead. But if you don’t have to care about side effects, using query_posts() is acceptable.
Here’s a simplified combination of both @PieterGoosen and @ialocin fine answers by using the loop_start hook: add_action( ‘loop_start’, function( $q ) { if( $q->is_main_query() && $q->is_category( ‘car’ ) ) usort( $q->posts, function( $a, $b ){ return -1 * has_tag( ‘bmw’, $a ) + 1 * has_tag( ‘bmw’, $b ); }); }, 10, 2 ); We … Read more
You ask: is query_posts really slower than some secondary query… The fact is that if you’re calling query_posts() from a theme then it already is a secondary query. WordPress has already queried the database once to get a certain page then it hits your query_posts() function and queries the database again creating a second query … Read more
