The pre_get_posts action hook only allows you to modify the $query object . Any formatting or output of data is done in the template file within the loop. When you are in the loop you have access to various template tags that output the post data formatted (filters applied). if ( have_posts() ) : while … Read more
You can’t alter a page query via pre_get_posts (in any fashion I’ve tried) to something other than a page query. If you look at the generated SQL, it’s trying to query all your post types for a pagename of new. If you set pagename to null, it’ll return posts, but it will disregard any taxonomy … Read more
I’m not sure this is possible. Why do you need a page template? Why can’t you use a custom post type archive, which is built-in to WordPress ( if you register the post type with has_archive set to true). I’m ignoring all your other possible $args, because I don’t know how you are registering this … Read more
I would highly recommend you to make one of those wp query calls the main query & all others as secondary queries. That will make your life much easier in the long run. If you absolutely want to disable the main query, wordpress doesn’t have a direct filter for that. You can however do a … Read more
As you describe the timing would not quite work. During WP core load: main query is created and processed into query variables (with pre_get_posts being one of the hooks able to influence the results) then template-loader.php uses conditionals (dependent on those query variables) to determine template to use So at the point of pre_get_posts you … Read more
Few remarks: I use pre_get_posts as an action hook, not as a filter. You should use ! is_admin() to prevent this from changing your backend views. You should skip the ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, since you only have a single tax_query filter Is there any reason why you have to modify the post type ? Is … Read more
How to order posts by parents?
You can use the the_posts filter to loop through the results before they get returned. Proof of concept: function test_the_posts($a) { var_dump($a); die; } add_action(‘the_posts’,’test_the_posts’); I am fairly certain (though I haven’t tested it) that you could pretty easily break pagination and probably other things by fiddling with that, so be careful.
you can allow only registered user to see your content by 1.this solution for post show only to login user class RavsPublic { function __construct() { add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, array($this, ‘try_redirect’)); } function try_redirect( $query ) { // not on home page and not login if( !is_home() && !is_user_logged_in() ){ // send them to home page wp_redirect( … Read more
You want get_term_children. function hbg_category_query( $query ) { if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_category()) { $categories = get_term_children(1,’category’); $categories[] = 1; // add your special category if (is_category($categories)) { $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, 32 ); } } return $query; } add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’hbg_category_query’); Barely tested, but I think that will work.
