Custom Post type sort order not working in the admin area

The ‘title’ and ‘date’ columns are WordPress default tables (even for CPTs) so they should be automatically sortable, unless those columns have been replaced. For custom columns there is a hook for registering a column as ‘sortable’: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/manage_this-screen-id_sortable_columns/ //Filter is ‘manage_edit-{custom post type}_sortable_columns //or more generally ‘manage_{screen id}_sortable_columns add_filter( ‘manage_edit-cpt_sortable_columns’, ‘wpse221267_cpt_sortable_columns’ ); function wpse221267_cpt_sortable_columns( $columns … Read more

Identifying the priority of style.css so I can make a small CSS file load last

When you properly enqueue a file, an instance of the wp_styles (more on this) class is created. The priority of actions is ignored. So it doesn’t matter if you write anything like add_action (‘wp_enqueue_scripts’,’function_adding_main_style’,10); add_action (‘wp_enqueue_scripts’,’function_adding_small_style’,11); The reason is exactly the existence of the dependency system. WP first collects all enqueued style files and then … Read more

WP REST API: Order posts by meta value (acf)?

I’m guessing you haven’t exposed meta_key and meta_value to the REST API with the rest_query_vars filter, so this should do it: function my_add_meta_vars ($current_vars) { $current_vars = array_merge ($current_vars, array (‘meta_key’, ‘meta_value’)); return $current_vars; } add_filter (‘rest_query_vars’, ‘my_add_meta_vars’); Then you can refer to meta_key and meta_value in your query. Be aware that this obviously exposes … Read more

Ensuring a plugin is loaded/run last?

You’ll want to hook into “the_content” filter at a very high priority. Example: function my_alter_the_content( $content ) { if ( in_array( get_post_type(), array( ‘post’, ‘page’ ) ) ) { // Do stuff here for posts and pages } return $content; } add_action( ‘the_content’, ‘my_alter_the_content’, PHP_INT_MAX ); Using the PHP_INT_MAX constant for the hook priority you … Read more

Meta query interfering with orderby relevance

So after @Nicolai found that blurb in the WP source confirming that I can’t use multiple parameters in the orderby if I am ordering by relevance I had to go a different route. However, this route only works if I don’t care for pagination. There probably is a way to put it back, but I’m … Read more

WP_Query -> sort results by relevance (= most tags / taxonomy terms in common)

Sorting your posts by relevance This will need to add an extra propperty to each post. Than sort the object by this new prperty. The trick is to sort the posts directly in the query object. function get_posts(){ // get the posts but do NOT order them $query_posts = new WP_Query( array( ‘numberposts’ => 5 … Read more

WP_Query ordered by custom field that is a date string?

The WP_Query page on the Codex has a section on Order & Orderby Parameters. If you want to order the query by a custom field you should add ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’ AND you must also specify the custom field (called your_date_field in the above example) using the meta_key key in the query. $timeline_query = new … Read more

Order Posts by Taxonomy and Meta Value

In your code, there is if ( isset( $wp_query->query[‘orderby’] ) && $taxonomy == $wp_query->query[‘orderby’] that make your code not work with multiple order fields, because if you set ‘orderby’ => ‘taxonomy_cat meta_value’ then $taxonomy == $wp_query->query[‘orderby’] is never true. In addition, I find that looping all taxonomy only with the aim to find the taxonomy … Read more

Query by one meta_key and sort by another (possibly NULL value)

I don’t think there’s a way to do it without using filters. Using posts_clauses you could do: function wpse163696_posts_clauses( $pieces, $query ) { if ( $query->get( ‘orderby’ ) != ‘dealer_date’ ) { return $pieces; } global $wpdb; $order = $query->get( ‘order’ ); $pieces[ ‘join’ ] .= $wpdb->prepare( ‘ LEFT JOIN ‘ . $wpdb->postmeta . ‘ … Read more

How can I custom order the results from wp_list_categories?

There is an unused column, term_order, in the wp_term_relationships table that you can use to assign a custom order to the terms within your taxonomy. The order is set at 0 by default and it will take a custom query to get the order back and another solution to set the order. Example query: function … Read more
