First, before you start, just reflush your permalinks. It is sometimes strange why the Template Hierarchy fails. You code checks out, and should in theory work. Everything checks out, and to make sure, I tested it on my side. You can use this work around to “force” wordpress to use a template. Here we would … Read more
OK I got it working. Not sure if it is the best way but I thought I would add a reply anyway. Set up the information needed for the custom loop using $args = array As described in http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘product’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘wpcf-topic’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘posts_per_page’ … Read more
Your problem lies in this line of code in your first piece of code ‘category’ => $term->name, There are two problems here, first of all, category is not a valid parameter for WP_Query, you should use category_name, as you are working with get_terms. get_terms does not return the ID like get_categories, which is an alternative … Read more
Use below code for getting post format, simple made condition if post format =”standard” then load your preferred template $format = get_post_format(); if($format =”video”) { get_template_part( ‘format’, $format ); } Something like this.
A custom template for one specific category should be named category-slug.php where “slug” is the WP slug for the category. WordPress will automatically use this file to display the archive for that one category. You could also name it using the ID of the category. If your category is “legacy-posts”, then your template file should … Read more
I just ran into this with WooCommerce. I ended up passing the IDs I needed to a variable for safe keeping, and then hooking a function with extremely low priority. That worked fine. I figure woocommerce or what of my cleint’s 8000000 plugins was overwriting post__in. add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘assign_ids’, 1000);
Your code doesn’t make sense to me. The easiest way to do this is to use get_categories() to get all the categories, and use the exclude parameter to exclude the category that you don’t need. You can then feed that back into a new WP_QUERY Example $categories = get_categories( ‘exclude=ID_OF_CATEGORY’) foreach ($categories as $category) { … Read more
You can just simply create a custom query with WP_Query. You just need to make sure if you are using a custom taxonomy or the build-in category. For reference, see: Is There a Difference Between Taxonomies and Categories? Here is an example for custom taxonomies (this can also be used for build-in categories, just change … Read more
Your code will never get to the is_page_template() if statement because is_page_template() can only be true when is_page() is also true. It also looks like you’ve got some muddled elseif syntax (I think that’s what you want?) and some generally inefficient code that repeats a lot. I’d do this: <?php if( is_page_template(‘right-sidebar.php’) ) { // … Read more
You are right the wp_postmeta table: does not save any kind of time stamp. Unlike for example the wp_posts table with post_date, post_modified and such. So you have to implement a mechanism to keep track of the points in time when votes happened yourself.
