I am not sure about the issue, but my advice would be to try and refactor this to use get_posts() and template tags that can work without $post global variable. Basically do not touch globals at all. Loops in front-end are almost civilized nowadays, but internals of admin are still very wild. 🙂
You need something like this in you functions.php file, I’m using the action Pieter suggested. function add_custom_post_type_to_query( $query ) { if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array(‘post’, ‘article’) ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘add_custom_post_type_to_query’ ); You can read more about the pre_get_posts in the docs.
Basically what you are looking for is the global $wp_the_query variable which is set to the value of the main query. It may not be a perfect fit for 100% of cases but will probably work fine in 99% of cases: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_post_count’ ); function custom_post_count( $query ){ global $wp_the_query; if ( $wp_the_query === … Read more
The argument isn’t category, it is cat. Your query fails because you are using an argument that doesn’t exist. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’ , ‘orderby’ => ‘date’ , ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ , ‘posts_per_page’ => 6, ‘cat’ => ‘3’, ‘paged’ => get_query_var(‘paged’), ‘post_parent’ => $parent ); $q = new WP_Query($args); if ( $q->have_posts() ) … Read more
Let’s see if I can confuse myself. If either of your two OR conditions is true the code executes. is_home and is_front_page can return true for different pages, negated in your case. If you have a static from page, which it sounds like you do, then is_home is the blog index page. Note: WordPress 2.1 … Read more
Don’t create a new query and loop just to alter posts per page. Add a function hooked to pre_get_posts and alter whatever parameters you want in there before the query is run. This would go in your theme’s functions.php file, or a plugin. function wpd_testimonials_query( $query ){ if( ! is_admin() && $query->is_post_type_archive( ‘testimonials’ ) && … Read more
add a variable before the loop (before the while), for example $first = true; add a check inside the loop for this variable after the use, change the flag Code: <!– Start the Loop. –> <?php $first = true; ?> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <!– Display … Read more
Display one post from each term in a custom taxonomy [closed]
Loop that displays PARENT PAGE & CHILD PAGE & outputs GRANDCHILD PAGE title and content
Not tested but you can try this: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 4, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘meta-select’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘meta-select’, ‘value’ => array( 2, 3, 4, 5 ), ‘compare’ => ‘IN’, ), ), ); Ordering is done by value of meta field meta-select … Read more
