use post__in key instead of include to get posts from the specific post ids. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonials’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 4, ‘orderby’ => ‘ID’, ‘post__in’ => array(883, 563, 568, 106), ); And to order posts by the given posts ids, you can use the following array. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonials’, ‘posts_per_page’ … Read more
you can use custom taxonomies and make you query_posts much easier! by that i mean create a custom taxonomy for type,duration like so: add_action(‘init’,’register_event_tax’); function register_event_tax(){ register_taxonomy(‘even_type’,array(‘events’), array( ‘hierarchical’ => false, ‘labels’ => ‘type’, ‘show_ui’ => true, ‘query_var’ => true, ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ‘type’ ), )); register_taxonomy(‘even_duration’,array(‘events’), array( ‘hierarchical’ => false, ‘labels’ => … Read more

You’re setting the post meta as a_clients, but the query is looking for a_client. update_post_meta($post_id, ‘a_clients’, $new); ‘key’ => ‘a_client’ Those need to be the same.

Hopefully you’ve figured this out by now, but if you haven’t you should be able to use the “posts_orderby” filter to dial in a specific order for your query. I’m not going to give a full solution here, but you can refer to this post for more: http://mitcho.com/blog/how-to/external-orders-in-wordpress-queries/ EDIT: Here’s the Documentation – basically you … Read more
I know you said you’d rather not install a plug-in, but that’s exactly what you want to do in this situation.

In fact looking at the source: //… prepares query array $r $get_posts = new WP_Query; return $get_posts->query($r); get_posts() use WP_Query, but only returns an array of posts – nothing more.
