My first attempt to help you with solving your problem would be to do something like this : /* Order Posts Alphabetically */ function prefix_modify_query_order( $query ) { if ( is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘meta_query’, array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, ‘query_highlight’ => array( ‘key’ => ‘wiloke_listgo_toggle_highlight’, ‘value’ => ‘1’, ‘compare’ => ‘=’ ) ) ); $query->set( … Read more
OK… First of all, `$query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘pa_od’ );’ will most probably do nothing. You can’t order by some string and think that WordPress will guess what that is. Here is the list of possible orderby values: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters If you want to order by custom field, then you have to do it this way: $query->set( ‘meta_key’, … Read more

The only way that I’ve found to override the main author archive query in a way that will include posts that aren’t created by the specified user is by using the posts_where filter. For example: $post_ids = function_that_gets_desired_post_ids(); add_filter(‘posts_where’, function($where) use ($post_ids){ $post_ids = array_map(function($id){ return (int) $id; }, $post_ids); $in = implode(‘,’, $post_ids); $where … Read more
The pre_get_posts action runs any time posts are queried. This obviously includes the main query for displaying your latest posts or the current page, but it also includes any other time posts are queried. So that would include any use of WP_Query() or get_posts() in a plugin or your templates, any Recent Posts or similar … Read more
There’s quite a few issues with this code: $query is not defined in your callback function. role is not a valid argument for a query. You’re passing the $ids variable incorrectly.
