You can do everything you need using the search parameters allowed in WP_Query — except searching in the post title only. In order to do that, see this answer. Make sure to look at the taxonomy and meta subqueries allowed in the args passed to WP_Query. EDIT: Since you need to select using OR, you … Read more
Reason of this behavior is pretty simple. First of all you have to know that get_posts uses WP_Query to get posts. So let’s look at WP_Query implementation. On line 1998 of query.php you can find: if ( $q[‘posts_per_page’] == -1 ) { $q[‘nopaging’] = true; Then on line 2544 of query.php you find: if ( … Read more
I have found that the best way to include WordPress pages into a fancybox is to create a new template to use for those pages. For example I have some of my contact forms in a fancy box and the template I use is called custom-page-plain.php and doesn’t call header.php and contains a link to … Read more
<?php $querystr = ” SELECT wposts.* FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id AND wpostmeta.meta_key = ‘date_field’ AND wpostmeta.meta_value=”03/11/2010″ AND wposts.post_status=”publish” AND wposts.post_type=”post” ORDER BY wposts.post_date DESC “; $pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT); ?> Then you would access $pageposts as an object
As far as I remember counts for terms are stored in database, so there is nothing to modify when you fetch them – you simply get ready-made numbers. So you will either need to implement and maintain your special logic for counts completely separately or try to recalculate and modify native counts, see wp_update_term_count_now().
You could use the wp_dropdown_categories() function and pass post_tag as taxonomy parameter. <?php wp_dropdown_categories( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘post_tag’ ) ); ?>
If you’re going to add the filter on the where clause, then just make sure you remove it using remove_filter() and the exact same signature immediately after you create the query. In your example, you’re using query_posts(), so add the filter, run your query, and then remove your filter right afterward. add_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘my_posts_where_filter’, 10, … Read more
I am not sure, if this is the most efficient option or not, but I have doen it in following way: I have stored 5 separate query using get_posts and stored them in a single array I had to flatten the array, since it was multidimensional. Then used usort using post_date to get the latest … Read more
Persuming “article_datetime” to be a numeric value, I would suggest that instead of using ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’ use ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’ If still query is slow, than remove: ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘article_datetime’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ and instead sort the result in php.
