Your filter has a bug in it, namely when you call is_main_query, you’re not checking if the passed query is the main query, your checking if the currently active query is the main query, which will always be true. So instead try this: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘some_name’); function some_name($query) { if ($query->is_front_page() && $query->is_main_query()) { $query->set( … Read more
As Milo said : $query->set(‘meta_key’, ‘wpcf-object-sold-status’ ); $query->set(‘orderby’, array(‘meta_value’ => ‘ASC’, ‘date’ => ‘DESC’)); // $query->set(‘order’, ‘ASC DESC’ ); // not needed Relevant link: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/08/29/a-more-powerful-order-by-in-wordpress-4-0/
This works for me in order to list the items uploaded by a user on the media library. function users_my_media_only( $wp_query ) { if ( false !== strpos( $_SERVER[ ‘REQUEST_URI’ ], ‘/wp-admin/upload.php’ ) ) { $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); $current_user = $current_user->ID; if ( ! current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) ) { global $current_user; $wp_query->set( ‘author’, $current_user->id ); … Read more
If you don’t wish to always click the “Title” column to sort your posts by title, you can place this code in either your currently active WordPress theme’s functions.php file, or within a plugin. This will automatically always sort your posts for you, so you don’t have to click the title column every time. You … Read more
Set orderby to post__in. This preserves post ID order given in the post__in array (available with Version 3.5). $args = array ( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post__in’ => $ids, ‘orderby’ => ‘post__in’ );
I know this is an old question, but it is a bit confusing and hopefully will help someone. The reason that `$query->set doesn’t work is because the query has already been parsed and now we need to also update the tax_query object also. Here is how I did it: function my_tax_query( $query ) { $package_id … Read more
The $query variable in the filter represents a WP_Query object, so you shouldn’t be passing a new WP_Query object into the method for setting that object’s properties. The question you copied code from was incorrectly using the filter, which i feel is the crux of your issue. Yes, tax_query can be used inside a pre_get_posts … Read more
I finally got it working, but not with the code in my question. I totally scrapped that whole idea and restarted going in a new direction. NOTE: If anyone is ever able to sort out the issues in my question, feel free to post an answer. Also, if you have any other solutions, feel free … Read more
Here is an approach to account for sticky posts by getting the number of sticky posts (if any) and include that in the calculation posts_per_page parameter: add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘ad_custom_query’); function ad_custom_query($query) { if ($query->is_main_query() && is_home()) { // set the number of posts per page $posts_per_page = 12; // get sticky posts array $sticky_posts = get_option( … Read more
The simplest way is to add the action right before the query and remove it immediately after. add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘some_function_in_functionsphp’); $my_secondary_loop = new WP_Query(…); remove_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘some_function_in_functionsphp’); if( $my_secondary_loop->have_posts() ): while( $my_secondary_loop->have_posts() ): $my_secondary_loop->the_post(); //The secondary loop endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); EDIT Another technique you can use is to set your own query var and check for that … Read more
