Hopefully I’ve understood your question correctly, and I hope the code below helps. First you must add a metabox to hold the option that you wish to add to each Post, and the my_add_sticky_metabox() function will do this, in conjunction with the add_meta_boxes action hook. At this stage you are not actually printing anything, but … Read more
I believe the array will work using terms, rather than term (plural) http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters Has a lot of useful info for mutiple terms/multiple taxonomies but basically look into the tax_query item, specifically AND or OR operators. It’s all explained there pretty well
You haven’t specified where you want this alteration to apply to so I’ve applied it to just the home page. You may alter to fit where this filter applies to: <?php function wpse10691_alter_query( $query ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() && ( $query->is_home() || $query->is_search() || $query->is_archive() ) ) { $query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘modified’ ); $query->set( ‘order’, … Read more
First, don’t use query_posts. Second… I think this can be done with AJAX but is there a more simple method and give me a clean URL? PHP runs on the server. Items are “clicked” on the client machine. The only way to pass that “clicked” value back to PHP is via AJAX. Within a WordPress … Read more
I was afraid you wanted that one. You can’t really do that. Follow the link for some workarounds. You could also set a variable or a constant in functions.php, or create a theme option for this. Then use that in your function. function smbd_cats_by_days ($where=””) { // global $days_limit; // if a variable // $days_limit … Read more
Simply add orderby to your query_posts <?php query_posts($query_string . ‘&cat=-4&orderby=date&order=DESC’); ?> Update try: global $wp_query; $args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array(‘cat’ => -4,’orderby’ => ‘date’,’order’ => ‘ASC’)); query_posts( $args ); and if you still get the same change ASC to DESC.
Ultimately, this question is off-topic, because the solution has nothing to do with WordPress. Outputting posts in a grid pattern is an HTML/CSS issue, and the best-practice solutions don’t involve putting every three posts inside a separate containing <div>. Even so, you can do what you want to do, using PHP (which, technically speaking, still … Read more
number_posts is not a valid parameter in pre_get_posts, you should be using posts_per_page You should also include a check (!is_admin()) in your query to check whether you are on the front end or back end as pre_get_posts alters back end queries as well Rewrite your code to the following: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, function ( $query ) … Read more
Here is a rough outline of how you’d go about making a UNION work with WP_Query. add_filter( ‘posts_request’, function ($clauses) { $clauses = str_replace(‘SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS’,”,$clauses,$scfr); $scfr = (0 < $scfr) : ‘SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS’ : ”; $clause2 = $clauses; // manipulate this return “SELECT {$scfr} u.* FROM (({$clauses}) UNION ({$clause2})) as u”; }, 1, 2 ); Set up … Read more
Is there an easy way to do this without having to unserialize it? Not in any reliable way. You can certainly ORDER BY that value but the sorting will use the whole serialized string, which will give you technically accurate results but not the results you want. You can’t extract part of the string for … Read more
