You need to add Category Parameters to your query array. $arguments = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘showposts’ => $postcount, ‘category_name’=> ‘your-category-slug’ );
WordPress does not have relationship support among the posts. So for you to do that you have create a new table to store the post id and the linked post id. You need to do custom query every time that table needs to be updated.
paged is correct unless you’re using pretty permalinks, however, if you’re just trying to alter posts per page for categories, you should be using the pre_get_posts action, there’s no reason to use query_posts in the template: function wpa85791_category_posts_per_page( $query ) { if ( $query->is_category() && $query->is_main_query() ) $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, 2 ); } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpa85791_category_posts_per_page’ … Read more
Refer to the Template Hierarchy Codex entry. To display the archive index page for a custom post type, use template file archive-{posttype}.php. To display a single post page for a custom post type, use template file single-{posttype}.php. For your pagination issues with a custom query loop, look for related questions on the site.
Just put them between endwhile; and endif;
To retrieve all posts from a category, while preserving the original Loop query, you create a new query like so: <?php $testimonials = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 30, // limit number of posts for which to get ALL the comments of ‘category__in’ => array( 2, 6, 18 ) … Read more
You might try this: add_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘filter_where’ ); $query = new WP_Query($args); remove_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘filter_where’ ); where function filter_where( $where=”” ) { $where .= ” AND comment_count > 0 “; return $where; } to get posts with comments.
I know how to do that in pure SQL but I can’t get WP_Query to nest conditions in the way required. If it is acceptable, the easiest way to make this work would be to assign an arbitrary far future end date when the data is saved to the database. Something like strtotime(“2038-01-01”). That is … Read more
You could simply try using this plugin. If you want to custom-code it, that plugin would be a good place to start and look at how they’re doing it…
Your problem is you have: foreach post where A is true, that has a child where B is true Which is actually: foreach post where A is true that has a child where B is true So this is not something you should be doing in 1 query. Instead you would need to do n … Read more
