Get parse_query filter to return slug instead of id

by

taxonomy & term won’t be set (in this case), since query vars are mapped from GET/POST. In other words, $qv[‘large_feature’] = 291 (see wp_edit_posts_query() and WP_Query::get_posts() for the big picture). add_filter( ‘parse_query’,’convert_large_feature_id_to_taxonomy_term_in_query’ ); function convert_large_feature_id_to_taxonomy_term_in_query( $query ) { global $pagenow; $qv =& $query->query_vars; if ( $pagenow == ‘edit.php’ && isset( $qv[‘large_feature’] ) && ctype_digit( $qv[‘large_feature’] … Read more
