An easy way is to use a static variable to store author name, then run again same function on a later hook, maybe ‘posts_results’ and set back the variable: function wpquery( $query, $query_on_results = NULL ) { static $author_name = NULL; if ( current_filter() === ‘pre_get_posts’ ) { if ( $query->is_author() && $query->is_main_query() ) { … Read more
You should be using methods of the $query instance instead of the is_* template tags. And are the categories you are trying to filter a custom taxonomy? cat only works on the default category taxonomy: function wpse_178500_event_type_filter( $wp_query ) { if ( ! empty( $_GET[‘event_term’] ) && $wp_query->is_main_query() && $wp_query->get( ‘post_type’ ) === ‘event’ ) … Read more
As I can understand, cpt_tag is only assigned to the custom post type cpt. This makes things much easier and less complicated. You do not need two queries and you don’t need to merge anything Here is the plan: We need to know which terms you need to show on the homepage from the cpt … Read more
Before we code and go into particulars, lets look at the problem at hand. First of all, any valid date format is valid in a custom field if you are not going to use it for comparisons and sorting When you are going to sort by date or do comparisons by date in a custom … Read more
Create a another filter to remove post title and post content remove search terms try this if this helpful for you add_filter( ‘posts_search’, ‘custom_post_search_author_do’, 10, 2 ); function custom_post_search_author_do($search, $query ){ if( ! empty($search) && $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && isset($_GET[‘search-type’]) && $_GET[‘search-type’] == ‘autor’ ) $search=””; return $search; }
Use WP_Query to select any post based on meta key and value. You can also sort posts Ex: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘events’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, //probably you will need this because the value is date ‘meta_key’ => ‘event_date’, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( ‘key’ => ‘event_status’, ‘value’ => $retrieved_status, ‘compare’ => … Read more
You can use pre_get_posts action to modify this order. Here’s the code: function my_change_posts_order( $query ){ if ( ! is_admin() && ( is_category() || is_tag() ) && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘order’, ‘ASC’ ); } }; add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_change_posts_order’); What we do here is: We’re adding our function that will modify params for WP_Queries We … Read more
$caid is unknown inside the function, unless declared global. $caid = ‘-1’; function exclude_category( $query ) { global $caid; if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘cat’, $caid ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_category’ ); // Edit Do you need the variable outside the function at all? If not, just move it inside the … Read more
If I understand your question correctly, I think I may have your answer in this blog post: https://evowebdev.com/2017/05/using-a-dropdown-menu-to-filter-a-custom-post-type-with-custom-taxonomy/ This solution specifically uses select form element auto-populated with taxonomy terms to sort CPT posts (ie, rather than presorting posts with pre_get_posts, it lets site visitors sort by the taxonomy term[s] they select). If it’s really important … Read more
You want to make sure you’re only messing with the main query and not subsequent queries called from a plugin or in a template on the search page. In other words… if( !is_admin() && $query->is_search ) { should be if( !is_admin() && $query->is_search && $query->is_main_query() ) { See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_main_query
