Calling a function with WP_Query only ever brings the first result

If you switch to get_posts you don’t have to worry about resetting the loop. function SliderBuilder( $categoryID ) { $args = array ( ‘cat’ => $categoryID, ‘posts_per_page’ => 3, ); $posts = get_posts( $args ); echo $categoryID; ?> <ul class=”blog-slider” id=”blog-slider”> <?php foreach ( $posts as $post ) { ?> <li class=”blog-slide” onclick=”location.href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/243846/<?php echo get_the_permalink( … Read more

Querying posts from two different categories while looping inside another loop

You should not be using query_posts() for this or anything else. For secondary loops you should be making new WP_Query instances. Since you can (and should) assign instances to different variables they won’t interfere with each other. So your structure would be roughly like this: $outer_query = new WP_Query(); while( $outer_query->have_posts() ) : the_post; $inner_query … Read more

Display three sequential posts on each page load, without repeating previous

I think that the cookie is the best if not the only solution… Cookie can be implemented by php or js and is your choiche to choose the right method: Depending on: the client needs (they have to work also if js is not present?), the number of custom posts and site traffic (they can … Read more

Pull A Single Post Prior To Running wp_query

What I can think of a way to do this is this, you get_post the post you would like to show on the first, it will return the WP Post Object, then query the custom post type using get_posts, excluding the ID of that post and finally push it to the array that will be … Read more

WordPress infinite post cycle

It should be more simple. Like this: <?php $next_post = get_previous_post(); if( empty( $next_post ) ) { $posts = get_posts( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 1 ) ); $next_post = $posts[0]; } ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/244656/<?php echo get_permalink( $next_post->ID ); ?>”> <span class=”next”></span> <div class=”featured-image” style=”background-image: url(‘<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id( $next_post->ID ) ); ?>’)”></div> </a> <div class=”content”> <?php … Read more

Only show current category post

Use the function get_the_category(); inside the WordPress loop and pass the get_the_ID() function which will get the current post ID in the loop. get_the_ID() will return the post id and whereas the the_id(); will just display. if( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); $category_array = get_the_category( get_the_ID() ); print_r( $category_array ); endwhile; endif; … Read more

Custom loop not working in singular.php, working in other pages

For posterity’s sake, it was enough to call the global $wp_query variable right at the top of the split_posts() function, like this: function split_posts($Query, $infinite = false) { global $wp_query; $temp_query = $wp_query; $wp_query = NULL; $wp_query = $Query; … } Cheers!

Problem with custom WP_Query and underlying pagination/posts_per_page

Stop overriding the default loop and use pre_get_posts instead. Like this: function wpse_247208_custom_category_query( $query ) { // Return early for any situation you aren’t interested in. if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() || !is_category() ) { return; } $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, 6 ); // Don’t use a global; create a function to populate this value // … Read more

Custom post type – Loop out in random order but same 15 to appear first… still random

1 – I’d create a custom field for marking a post as ‘favourite’. 2- Then you would add a meta_query bit to the code in which you are querying the DB. There are several ways to do (1) and several ways to do part (2). How familiar are you with WordPress development? If your theme … Read more
