Saving the date in post meta is a slightly more sane approach, the post_date column was not designed with your use case in mind. You may get weird results with dates before the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970). Then it’s just a simple meta_query to load posts between dates, no filter necessary. $start=”1900-01-01″; $end = … Read more
You can use pre_get_posts to modify the main query, but you will need to create new queries for the other searches. Use get_query_var(‘s’) to get the search terms and create new WP_Query objects to perform your search. Without more information it is hard to provide much more detail to the answer.
Getting most recent post in WordPress have builtin function named wp_get_recent_posts( $args, $output ). So let’s try with this function to get most recent 5 post $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => 5, ‘offset’ => 0, ‘category’ => 0, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘suppress_filters’ => true ); OR … Read more
You shouldn’t be using query_posts() at all. From the documentation: Note: This function will completely override the main query and isn’t intended for use by plugins or themes. Its overly-simplistic approach to modifying the main query can be problematic and should be avoided wherever possible. In most cases, there are better, more performant options for … Read more
So basically what you need to do is paste the following code in your theme’s sidebar.php file or any other file where you want to display custom WordPress archives. <?php global $wpdb; $limit = 0; $year_prev = null; $months = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT DISTINCT MONTH( post_date ) AS month,YEAR( post_date ) AS year, COUNT( id ) as … Read more
According to the Codex, here’s how you would query posts from several taxonomies: ‘tax_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘videoscategory’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => $custom_term->slug ), array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘yourothertaxonomy’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => $other_custom_term->slug ) )
You can achieve that with a tax_query with OR relation. See the Taxonomy Parameters section for WP_Query in Codex for the different tax query parameters. $args = array( ‘tax_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array( ‘fruit’ ) ), array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘post_tag’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ … Read more
You can use the update_post_meta function to insert the Yoast Plugin data. Yoast uses 3 post meta keys for each post: _yoast_wpseo_title ( use for SEO title ) _yoast_wpseo_focuskw (For meta keywords ) _yoast_wpseo_metadesc (For meta descriptio ) You can find all these meta key under postmeta table $new_id = wp_update_post($array); update_post_meta( $new_id, ‘_yoast_wpseo_title’, ‘SEO … Read more
You store date as formatted string, but time() function you take for comparison returns numeric timestamp. So you are trying to make comparison between too completely different formats and it’s unlikely WP is smart enough to get that.
simply add this above your loop $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 10, ‘category__in’ => array( 2, 6 ), //change and add the category ids here ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’) query_posts($args); and you can read more about query_posts Parameters http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Parameters Update By popular demand 🙂 here is another example to doing the same but … Read more
