SQL-wise, you only need to join to the wp_posts table once. Joining to the terms stuff will give you multiple rows, so it’s probably easiest to group these and then use GROUP_CONCAT() to flatten the terms into a comma-separated string (updated to use LEFT joins): global $wpdb; $sql = $wpdb->prepare( ‘SELECT p.ID, p.post_title AS Product, … Read more
You can calculate offset via paged and posts_per_page. E.g: $per_page = 6; $paged = get_query_var(‘paged’) ? : 1; $offset = (1 === $paged) ? 0 : (($paged – 1) * $per_page) + (($paged – 1) * 2); $args = array( ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘offset’ => $offset, ‘orderby’ => ‘ID’, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, … Read more
Its most likely to be a TrackBack or pingback: In a nutshell, TrackBack was designed to provide a method of notification between websites: it is a method of person A saying to person B, “This is something you may be interested in.” To do that, person A sends a TrackBack ping to person B.
In XHTML entities are not part of the DTD, and user agents are not required to support them. Exceptions: &, <, >, " and '. To keep WordPress X(HT)ML compatible numeric references are used instead.
one loop with a conditional statement to catch the first post should work; example: <?php if( $wp_query->current_post == 0 && !is_paged() ) : ?> /*the output of the first post*? <?php else : ?> /*the output of all other posts*/ <?php endif; ?>
In functions.php file : function my_recent_post() { global $post; $html = “”; $my_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1 )); if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : while( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); $html .= “<h2>” . get_the_title() . “</h2>”; $html .= “<p>” . get_the_excerpt() . “</p>”; $html .= “<a href=\”” . get_permalink() . “\” … Read more
Change the name of news.php to index.php. I don’t know of any legitimate use case that exists for changing index.php. If something else is using index.php then move WP in its own /news directory. You could change the .htaccess but you might run into trouble down the road.
Alternatively to Kaiser’s answer, when you register the post type, simply use the taxonomies attribute: register_post_type( ‘my-cpt’, array( … ‘taxonomies’ => array( ‘category’ ), … ) ); Details on register_post_type() can be found here in Codex.
You can achive this using WP Query with meta_query argument as following. $args = array ( ‘post_type’ => array( ‘post’ ), // YOUR POST TYPE ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘country’, ‘value’ => $your_country, // THE COUNTRY TO SEARCH ‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’, // TO SEARCH THIS COUNTRY IN YOUR COMMA SEPERATED STRING ‘type’ => … Read more
WP_Post is a representation of the post as it exists in the database, and the permalink isn’t stored in the database. It’s not stored in the database because it’s not a property of the post. The permalink is determined by the site’s address, its permalink structure, and the post’s slug. Imagine if updating the permalink … Read more
