You are actually not that far away with pre_get_posts, you just need to first grab the current post types that are in the query before adding your own. Also, I’d recommend using a $priority of 99 so that the action is hooked after any other pre_get_posts hooks, meaning that if users add there own CPT’s … Read more
Here is an answer I recently did on another question, the same as your. Because the answer was never upvoted or accepted, I could not mark this question as duplicate, so I have deleted the answer in the other post and reposting it here. Please note, some points are not aimed at this issue and … Read more
You might want to remove those counts and replace them with your own. function insert_post_counts($views){ //Run your query to count posts //use wp_cache_set and wp_cache_get to optimize performance $edit_url = admin_url( ‘edit.php’ ); $views[‘all’] = ‘All <a href=”‘.$edit_url.'”>(‘.$all_count.’)</a>’; $views[‘publish’] = ‘Published <a href=”‘.$edit_url.’?post_status=publish”>(‘.$publish_count.’)</a>’; $views[‘draft’] = ‘Draft <a href=”‘.$edit_url.’?post_status=draft”>(‘.$draft_count.’)</a>’; $views[‘trash’] = ‘Trash <a href=”‘.$edit_url.’?post_status=trash”>(‘.$draft_count.’)</a>’; return $views; … Read more
You can set the taxonomy query for the main query using pre_get_posts: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_exclude_terms_from_query’ ); function my_exclude_terms_from_query( $query ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() /* && whatever else */ ) { $tax_query = array ( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’, ‘terms’ => array( ‘cat-slug’ ), ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’, ) ); $query->set( ‘tax_query’, … Read more
Firstly, you are invoking an infinite loop, which causes the memory exhaustion. To avoid it, put the following at the beginning of your function: // avoid infinite loop remove_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, __FUNCTION__ ); It makes sure the you are not hooking it into pre_get_posts over and over again, re-initiating your get_posts() call over and over again. … Read more
As with many things in WordPress there are several ways to do what you want. I’m going to explain one of them. Remove the ‘year’, ‘monthnum’ and ‘day’ Query Variables You can modify the parameters to the query WordPress uses on the archive URLs inside the ‘pre_get_posts’ hook. Those parameters are captured as an associative … Read more
So if you’ve registered a CPT called wpse_242473_custom_post_type you can use this to put 6 recent posts of that type onto your static front page (or anywhere). You can use a shortcode or a template tag and the function should work for both. It’s a modification of some code I use in a lot of … Read more
You’re almost there mate. Try this though. <?php add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘filter_press_tax’); function filter_press_tax( $query ){ if( $query->is_tax(‘press’) && $query->has_term(‘press’)): $query->set(‘posts_per_page’, 5); return; endif; } ?> You can use any conditional tag or any argument that can be passed to WP_Query to test your condition or set a new value via pre_get_posts. Also try $query->get(‘taxonomy’) / $query->get(‘term’). … Read more
Good code. I think you could simplify by making direct SQL queries instead: — Featured Images SELECT `meta_value` FROM `wp_postmeta` WHERE `meta_key` = ‘_thumbnail_id’; –> $thumbnail_ids — Header Images SELECT `post_id` FROM `wp_postmeta` WHERE `meta_key` = ‘_wp_attachment_context’ and `meta_value` = ‘custom-header’; –> $header_ids Also, with your method, I think that if you call WP_Query with … Read more
You can accomplish this with multiple meta queries. $query->set( ‘meta_query’, [ ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, ‘wpcf-start-date’ => [ ‘key’ => ‘wpcf-start-date’, ‘compare’ => ‘EXISTS’, ], ‘no-start-date’ => [ ‘key’ => ‘wpcf-start-date’, ‘compare’ => ‘NOT EXISTS’ ], ] ); $query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘wpcf-start-date’ ); $query->set( ‘order’, ‘ASC’ ); This will tell WP to create a query that will … Read more
