I hate writing “you can’t do that” answers, but you can’t. That is the strict answer to your question about whether you can do this with a single WP_Query. You can’t limit post type counts individually in the same query using WP_Query (You are actually using query_posts. Please don’t. It is not the right tool … Read more
The is_home() conditional returns true when the currently displayed page is the blog posts index. If you want to target the site front page specifically instead, you need to use is_front_page(): function wpse83754_filter_pre_get_posts( $query ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() && is_front_page() ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘home_portfolio’ ) ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpse83754_filter_pre_get_posts’ ); … Read more
I did something similar, the technique you need to use is called a meta query. Here is the query I wrote to get posts based on a date value stored as a custom field meta value. query_posts( array( ‘post_type’=>’post’, ‘order’=>’ASC’, ‘orderby’=>’meta_value_num’, ‘meta_key’=>’date_event’, ‘posts_per_page’=> -1, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( ‘key’ => ‘date_event’, ‘value’ … Read more
With what you are asking, it is really difficult to come up with some performant easy way that is also reliable. As @birgire already stated, his solution is not reliable, but from tests, it seem to be the fastest clocking in at 2 db queries in about 0.015s average. From a quick discussion between @birgire … Read more
Caveat: the code examples within this answer are very basic and may or may not need further conditional logic to adapt to your precise needs, this logic is meant as an example to get you on your way. There’s two considerations you need to be aware of: Consideration 1: If you add a new post … Read more
Looking into render_block_core_post_template() we can see it calls build_query_vars_from_query_block() (previously named construct_wp_query_args) to setup the query arguments of WP_Query from the Query` block properties. From there I don’t see it supporting custom taxonomies for the secondary query … yet! Work-around-idea: For the Query Loop: add a search keyword for using custom taxonomies, e.g. :query-motor-electric: and … Read more
FullCalendar is a nice find. Looks to me like you’ll need to write a shortcode (which I show how to do here): Adding an Archive of Posts to the Navigation Menu in WordPress 3.0 And then generate the code to call the FullCalendar within the shortcode. After that you’ll need to write code to generate … Read more
Hi @janoChen: If you have a choice, go with WP_Query. Both of the other functions (query_posts() and get_posts()) call WP_Query indirectly. The former is designed to allow you to modify the main query after the standard query has already been run, for example when you want a second loop. But query_posts() affects global variables and … Read more
Try this: <ul class=”list-ensemble”> <?php query_posts(‘post_type=person&post_status=publish&meta_key=last_name&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC’); $current_letter=””; if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $last_name = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘last_name’, true ); $letter = strtolower( substr( $last_name, 0, 1 ) ); if ( $letter != $current_letter ) { $current_letter = $letter; ?> <li class=”letter”> <img src=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/10561/<?php echo $letter; ?>.jpg” alt=”<?php echo $letter; ?>” … Read more
As with most questions involving OR clauses, the answer is the same: use a custom query or alter WP_Query using the ‘posts_clauses’ filter.
