In short: Yes. Your question is about the query_posts WordPress PHP function. The link I’ve placed is the official wordpress codex documentation for that function. For your example it states: Display posts from only one category ID (and any children of that category): query_posts(‘cat=4’); I hope this information is helpful. You find more infos in … Read more
Try this code: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => ’10’, ‘post_type’ => ‘programmes’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘popularityfig’, ‘meta_value’ => ”, ‘meta_compare’ => ‘!=’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ ); There’re 2 arguments you might want to note in the code: meta_value and meta_compare. Using meta_compare with operator != will exclude posts with empty meta value.
this should work for you: if ( is_user_logged_in() ): global $current_user; wp_get_current_user(); $author_query = array(‘posts_per_page’ => ‘-1′,’author’ => $current_user->ID); $author_posts = new WP_Query($author_query); while($author_posts->have_posts()) : $author_posts->the_post(); ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/23829/<?php the_permalink(); ?>” title=”<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a> <?php endwhile; else : echo “not logged in”; endif;
You ask: is query_posts really slower than some secondary query… The fact is that if you’re calling query_posts() from a theme then it already is a secondary query. WordPress has already queried the database once to get a certain page then it hits your query_posts() function and queries the database again creating a second query … Read more
Just add ‘post__in’ => get_option(‘sticky_posts’) to your query, to confine your query to only sticky posts. So, $getHighlights = array( ‘numberposts’ => 7, ‘post_type’ => array(‘post’,’Event’), ‘post__in’ => get_option(‘sticky_posts’), ‘category_name’ => ‘Highlights’ ); should work for you. Edit: This is how you can merge two arrays to get the sticky posts at the top of … Read more
You are trying to supply an array as part of the string query parameter. You could instead just supply the arguments list as an array like this: $newQuery = new WP_Query( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘cat’ => $cats[0]->term_id, ‘post__not_in’ => array($exclude_post) ) );
The argument isn’t category, it is cat. Your query fails because you are using an argument that doesn’t exist. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’ , ‘orderby’ => ‘date’ , ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ , ‘posts_per_page’ => 6, ‘cat’ => ‘3’, ‘paged’ => get_query_var(‘paged’), ‘post_parent’ => $parent ); $q = new WP_Query($args); if ( $q->have_posts() ) … Read more
Since WP 3.1, you can cast the meta value to anything you want using the ‘type’ argument in ‘meta_query’: $args = array( ‘meta_query’=> array( array( ‘key’ => ‘vote’, ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘value’ => 5, ‘type’ => ‘numeric’, ) ) ‘posts_per_page’ => 100 ) ); query_posts( $args );
Not tested but you can try this: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 4, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘meta-select’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘meta-select’, ‘value’ => array( 2, 3, 4, 5 ), ‘compare’ => ‘IN’, ), ), ); Ordering is done by value of meta field meta-select … Read more
This is probably not a “pure” way to do it, but this code make an array of featured post ids and then excludes them from future get_posts. $featuredPosts = get_posts(‘category’=>’D’,’numberposts’=>’-1′); $fPId = array(); foreach ($featuredPost as $currentPost) { array_push($fPId,$currentPost->ID); } $aPosts = get_posts(‘category’ => ‘a’, ‘exclude’=>$fpId); $bPosts = get_posts(‘category’ => ‘b’, ‘exclude’=>$fpId); $cPosts = get_posts(‘category’ … Read more
