I am hoping that I understood your question, because recently I found myself needed to dynamically include a list of child categories and their count in a hierarchy menu in a post and so I came up with this: I put this in file called listcat.php <?php /* Plugin Name: List Categories Reference: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories Description: … Read more
I think you need to read up a bit on how The Loop works in WordPress: https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop And how the WP_Query class: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query I am assuming your only want 2 loops, at the moment your have 3. On line 19, which stores its posts in a var $query then does nothing. On line 21, which … Read more
This is a little hard to tinker with, without data to try it on. What strikes me as strange in your architecture that you describe it as type with three possible values, but what you have it three (I guess) different keys for it. It would make more sense to me if you had single … Read more
I believe you will not be able to do so just with the WP Query/get_posts interface. There is probably an way using a custom MySQL query, but there is another approach you can try. Since you have a custom meta views, you can try create a new custom meta popularity, which will be the sum … Read more
After spending some time reading the documentation for WP_Query’s Order & Orderby Parameters I found the following listed parameter to almost get me there: ‘post__in’ – Preserve post ID order given in the post__in array (available since Version 3.5). Unfortunately I wasn’t using post__in but rather post_parent__in so ordering by post__in didn’t work. It wasn’t … Read more
Since version 4, you can order by multiple fields via an array: ‘orderby’ => array( ‘meta_value_num’ => ‘ASC’, ‘date’ => ‘DESC’ )
Am Afraid that you have to go with Direct MYSQL or you can run two WP_Query() and then combine them, sort them or sort them with WP_Query() then combine them. Here is an example $args = array( ‘post_type’ => array( ‘staff-updates’, ‘coreteam’, ‘developing-updates’, ‘vacancies’, ‘recognition’, ‘page’ ), ‘orderby’ => ‘modified’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ’10’, ‘order’ => … Read more
So here is a quick solution – with a bit of searching over SO and query analyzing : Keep the main query, but add a special filter for ordering. The filter (in function.php) : function my_posts_orderby( $orderby ) { $orderby = ‘DATE(wp_posts.post_date) DESC, wp_postmeta.meta_value DESC’; return $orderby; } Note the DATE() mysql function that takes … Read more
I think you could simplify this a lot by using the pre_get_users hook, instead of working directly with the complicated SQL within the pre_user_query hook. Try something like: add_action( ‘pre_get_users’, function( \WP_User_Query $q ) { $qv = &$q->query_vars; if( isset( $qv[‘orderby’] ) && ‘test_date’ === $qv[‘orderby’] ) { // Custom meta query $qv[‘meta_query’] = [ … Read more
Use orderby post__in $loop = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘product’, ‘post__in’ => $posts, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘orderby’ => ‘post__in’ ) ); Remember it is only available from version 3.5
