Rather than outputting your terms in that initial loop, I would use it instead to build a new array, with your issue_date as the key: $my_new_array = array( ); foreach ( $terms as $term ) { $issue_date = get_field( ‘issue_date’, $term ); $my_new_array[$issue_date] = $term->name; } You can then loop through this new array in … Read more
Try this: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘pb_issue_featured’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘posts_per_page’ => $posts, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘paged’ => 1, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘headline’, ‘value’ => 1, ‘compare’ => ‘!=’ ) ) ); add_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, ‘filter_query’ ); $q = new WP_Query($args); remove_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, ‘filter_query’ ); function … Read more
This is very crude but should sort your posts by year (meta_value) and then by title. It does depend on how the query is setup so it will only work with the query below or with similar ones. function alter_order_wpse_103181($order,$qry) { remove_filter(‘posts_orderby’,’alter_order’,1,2); $order = explode(‘,’,$order); $order = implode( ‘ ASC,’,$order); return $order; } add_filter(‘posts_orderby’,’alter_order_wpse_103181′,1,2); $q … Read more
Completely edited after first publish The problem is that to order for a meta value, WordPress need to ‘meta_key’ in query is set to something. But if you set ‘meta_key’ to something, then WordPress will add something like AND ( wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘the_meta_key’ ) to WHERE SQL clause; and something like INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON … Read more
You can create groups of meta_queries using specific compare operation on them, and since you want to order based in a single custom field, you can keep the order declaration dedicated to the single meta field. So: $q = new WP_Query( array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘population’, //setting the meta_key which will be used to order ‘orderby’ … Read more
As Milo said : $query->set(‘meta_key’, ‘wpcf-object-sold-status’ ); $query->set(‘orderby’, array(‘meta_value’ => ‘ASC’, ‘date’ => ‘DESC’)); // $query->set(‘order’, ‘ASC DESC’ ); // not needed Relevant link: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/08/29/a-more-powerful-order-by-in-wordpress-4-0/
If you have the post with an $id: $thispost = get_post($id); $menu_order = $thispost->menu_order; WordPress itself does not provide a function to get the menu_order, so you have to query the post-Object. If you are outside the loop, you can use the above function, however inside the loop you could also achieve this by: global … Read more
This will definitely work….It worked for me… $username = get_the_author_meta( ‘login’, $author_id ); $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘any’, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘suppress_filters’ => true, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘author’, ‘field’ => ‘name’, ‘terms’ => $username ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( $args );
If you don’t wish to always click the “Title” column to sort your posts by title, you can place this code in either your currently active WordPress theme’s functions.php file, or within a plugin. This will automatically always sort your posts for you, so you don’t have to click the title column every time. You … Read more
Set orderby to post__in. This preserves post ID order given in the post__in array (available with Version 3.5). $args = array ( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post__in’ => $ids, ‘orderby’ => ‘post__in’ );
