This will most likely require two loops to the best of my knowledge. The second loop just needs to know to exclude the post you just queried. Something like the following should do the trick. $first_id = 5; // This should be set in the previous loop to the post ID of the post returned … Read more
The order doesn’t matter. That query will get 7 posts from the “events” category, skipping over the 5 most recent (since the default order is by date).
You’re 95% of the way there already. Just add if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) and incorporate your $odd variable: <?php $my_query = new WP_Query(‘offset=5&showposts=10’); if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $odd = false; while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $odd = !$odd; ?> <div class=”<?php if ($odd) echo ‘uneven ‘; ?>post”> <h3><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/70713/<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <?php the_excerpt(); … Read more
You need to get the post ids from the original main query and exclude them. Then you should remove your offset from your custom query. That should do the trick. Random ordering basically ignores the offset parameter, so you need to explicitely remove the posts from the query to exclude them You can use wp_list_pluck() … Read more
<?php global $wp_query, $post; $comments_arr = $wp_query->comments; $comments_arr = sort( $comments_arr); $comments_arr = array_pop( $comments_arr ); $comments_arr = usort($comment_arr, ‘comment_comparator’); $comment_count = get_comment_count($post->ID); ?> <h3 id=”comments-title”><?php printf( _n( ‘One Response to %2$s’, ‘%1$s Responses to %2$s’, get_comments_number(), ‘YOUR_THEMES_TEXTDOMAIN’ ), number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() ), ‘<em>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</em>’ ); ?></h3> if ( have_comments() ) : ?><ul … Read more
A in your example, you have access to all the WP_Query Object query_vars (see [here])1, you could use the post__not_in query_var in your query. It takes an array of ids as a parameter. So first you query for your posts tagged ‘highlighted’. While displaying them, you would add all their ids to an array like … Read more
Blog page pagination is not working after using the offset argument
The problem was in additional symbols ” in $attr[‘ids’] array. So I’ve changed: $atts[‘include’] = str_replace(array(“»”,”″”,”””), “”, $atts[‘include’]); $atts[‘orderby’] = str_replace(array(“»”,”″”,”””), “”, $atts[‘orderby’]); $atts[‘order’] = str_replace(array(“»”,”″”,”””), “”, $atts[‘order’]); $atts[‘exclude’] = str_replace(array(“»”,”″”,”””), “”, $atts[‘exclude’]); And now everything ok.
Because of query mechanics either $paged or $offset is used, but not both at the same time. Basically if you want custom offset then it is assumed that you do not want pagination. You would probably need to hook into post_limits and change generated LIMIT SQL to adjust offset, unless there is an easier way … Read more
It helps to write problems down. After I haven’t used pre_get_posts extensively, I focused too much on that area for the cause, but it was the if clause. Changed to if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && ! is_post_type_archive( ‘cpt’ ) ) { return $query; } elseif ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_post_type_archive( ‘cpt’ … Read more
