Thanks to Brad Dalton at wpsites.net for getting me to the answer. Install Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Create a custom field called price, formatted as a number. Use the code below (based on Bill Erickson’s tutorial): add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘kr_change_posts_order’ ); function kr_change_posts_order( $query ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && !is_page() ) { $orderby … Read more
Perhaps you should try this: function rpm_pre_get_post($query){ if($query->is_main_query()){ $query->set(‘meta_query’, array( array( ‘key’ => ‘parent-project’, ‘value’ => ‘Metro-E’ ) ) ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘rpm_pre_get_post’, 9999 );
It’s hard to be sure without he error, but this part of code looks pretty weird: if ( is_post_type_archive( epl_all_post_types() == ‘true’ ) ) { is_post_type_archive gets one param and it should be post type or array of post types. But in your code you pass a logical statement in there (so true or false). … Read more
I’m not sure why you don’t want to use wp_Query? wp_Query is a very powerful function about retrieving various queries. First of all, pages in the blog do not relate with posts, so you won’t get any predefined post query for that page-template that you created. However there are a few ways to show post … Read more
I figured it out after adding the same code to a different site I run. It was working fine on that site with the same theme and mostly the same plugins. I narrowed it down to another function I made (thankfully it wasn’t another plugin). The other function was sorting something on the front end, … Read more
For what it’s worth, I just gave up on the ‘__not_in’ approach and went with the following somewhat sneaky solution: //Create the exclusion rule $new_tax_query = array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘x_category’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array(‘y-slug’), ‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’, ) ); //If there is already a tax_query, ‘AND’ our new rule with the … Read more
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
