Most Effective Method? Exclude Category and Number of Posts Per Page
Just use a custom query like this: $exclude_cats=”2,52,3″; $posts_per_page=”4″; $loop = new WP_Query(“category__not_in=$exclude_cats&posts_per_page=$posts_per_page”); if($loop->have_posts()): while($loop->have_posts()): $loop->the_post(); //Do stuff here the_content(), the_title() etc… endwhile; else: //Do something here endif;
Query all posts under one taxonomy? Why is my code not working?
You haven’t specified the ‘field’ value e.g. ‘field’ => ‘slug’, http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters
Sort posts alphabetically by category/custom taxonomy, insert divider between different types
after some trials I’ve got one solution that seems to be good but I need some tweaking help <ul class=”list-ensemble”> <?php $terms = get_terms(“production_co_type”); $count = count($terms); if ( $count > 0 ){ echo “<ul>”; foreach ( $terms as $term ) { echo ‘<li class=”title”>’ . $term->name . ‘</li>’; $args = array ( ‘post-type’=> ‘shows’, … Read more
