I ran into this same problem recently and developed a good solution that maintains paging (which some of the answers here do not) and also allows for only targeting certain comment types and comment approved statuses. function has_comments_join( $join, &$wp_query ) { global $wpdb; if ($comment_term = $wp_query->get(‘post_has_comments’)) { $join .= $wpdb->prepare(” JOIN $wpdb->comments ON … Read more
You can probably do something like this. It’s probably less efficient, but should find all descendants of a given page rather than just direct children. function find_descendants($post_id) { $descendant_ids = array(); $pages = get_pages(“child_of=$post_id”); foreach ($pages as $page) { array_push($descendant_ids, $page->ID); } return $descendant_ids; } function SearchFilter($query) { if ($query->is_search) { $query->set ( ‘post__in’, find_descendants(21) … Read more
WP already does this out of the box thanks to the include_children parameter of tax_query which is true by default. So you do not need to tell it the sub-terms, just do something like this: /wp/v2/posts?categories=1
WordPress itself does not store this info directly in database… yet you have some elegant options: you can hook into “publish post” and update list of “active users” when someone posts his/her published, you can store this information then in options table in serialized array. In this array you can have list of authors and … Read more
The problem is that the_title() itself echoes its value, so you can’t use it within an echo unless you set the echo parameter to false: the_title( ”, ”, false );
I believe get_posts returns all published (no-private posts) but does display password protected posts. In fact, by default, the standard WP_Query loop does this as well. So by default, private posts shouldn’t appear. If you wanted to display private posts for those logged in, and not those who are logged out, you could use the … Read more
To print just the total number of comments for a given post ID, use the count argument: echo get_comments( array ( // post ID ‘post_id’ => 149, // return just the total number ‘count’ => TRUE ) ); or just use // Argument: Post ID echo get_comment_count( 149 ); To get the total number of … Read more
Yes, of course it starts again at 1. You’ve initialized the counter to 1 on each page load. If you were writing a custom loop you’d do this: $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; If normal WordPress pagination mechanisms are working on your page that should work for you too. That will number your … Read more
You can check your position within the loop using the current_post var of the $wp_query object, and insert markup at a specific spot or at some interval. A simple example: while( have_posts() ): the_post(); the_title(); the_excerpt(); // if current_post is 1, insert the div // note that current_post starts at 0, // so this will … Read more
Use paginate_links. It is meant to do pretty much just that. Plus, the ordinary pagination functions like next_posts_link (which I think you want instead of next_post_link) do not work reliably with custom queries, but next_post_link and previous_post_link are equally or more troublesome with custom queries. With paginate_links you need to pass quite a bit of … Read more
