The query you currently have will order the posts by their post_date property, which is an SQL column of the type datetime. This type stores the date, but also the time (hours, minutes and seconds). The second sorting option, comment_count, is only applied to posts with the same timestamp, i.e. that were posted at the … Read more
In a theme with no menu locations defined – or a WordPress install with no menus set up – the default fallback option for menus is to display the output of wp_page_menu(). By default, this will output all of your pages firstly by their order, then by their title if the orders match. This makes … Read more
Your code is invalid (syntax error, missing closing array and semi-colon), and incorrectly nested – if you were to properly indent your code, you’d have something like: $args = array( ‘tag’ => ‘tag-AAA,tag-BBB’, array ( ‘orderby’ => array( ‘title’ => ‘ASC’, ‘post_date’ => ‘DESC’, ) ), ); See how orderby isn’t actually a property of … Read more
Because you are ordering only by menu_order, rather than menu_order post_title. In fact, you can just get rid of your sort_* arguments as wp_list_pages will output the correct natural order by default.
Thank you @WebElaine for the tips about using a child theme. I found the code that put the Home link first. The file was located in /wp-content/themes/vantage/inc and file extras.php function vantage_page_menu_args( $args ) { $args[‘show_home’] = false; return $args; } Had to change $args[‘show_home’] = false; to false.
It’s funny how we can set the order of products but not categories. This plugin should do it though.
A standard WordPress install doesn’t keep track of visits to pages/posts. So without a plugin there’s no way to know which posts/pages are visited most often. As to finding random posts that’s as simple as: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => array( ‘post’, ‘page’, ‘my-custom-post-type’ ) ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ); $query = new WP_Query ($args);
That is because get_terms() does not accept array type as a value for the ‘orderby’ parameter. The documentation says about this parameter: ‘orderby’ (string) Field(s) to order terms by. Accepts term fields (‘name’, ‘slug’, ‘term_group’, ‘term_id’, ‘id’, ‘description’), ‘count’ for term taxonomy count, ‘include’ to match the ‘order’ of the $include param, ‘meta_value’, ‘meta_value_num’, the … Read more
Ok, this might be overcomplicating things a bit, but at least it should work (untested). Just call the function like so get_adjacent_without_sticky( get_the_ID(), true); // get previous post get_adjacent_without_sticky( get_the_ID(), false); // get next post This could have been solved easily, if get_previous_post() allowed for an ID to pass and not only run it in … Read more
WordPress allows multiple orders with the orderby parameter. https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters ‘meta_key’ => ‘_liked’, // You do it well ‘orderby’ => array(‘meta_value_num’ => ‘DESC’, ‘date’ => ‘DESC’), Here you tell WordPress to sort by “bigger” likes and last publish date.
