Don’t do it this way. query_posts() should not be used most of the time and you are really hacking things up here with direct template inclusion and such. Create new page Blog (no template). Go to Settings > Reading. Assign this page as Posts page.
Check if your post_type is exactly listings and not listing. Also check this approach: <?php function filter_where( $where=”” ) { $where .= ” AND post_date > ‘2009-03-01′”; return $where; } add_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘filter_where’ ); function parse_wp_query( $query ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘listings’ ) ); return $query; } add_filter( ‘parse_query’, ‘parse_wp_query’ ); $posts = query_posts( … Read more
When you do a query, you change the environment, specifically the current post and query objects. To reset things back to how they were before the query loop you should: query_posts(‘post_type=offered’); if(have_posts(){ while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> ….content endwhile; } wp_reset_query(); // reset query!!!! or $wanted_query = new WP_Query(‘post_type=wanted’); if($wantedquery->have_posts()){ while ($wanted_query->have_posts()) : $wanted_query->the_post(); ….content … Read more
I would recommend defining a query var to define your custom filters, and then pass the (sanitized) value of that query var to query_posts() (to alter the primary Loop, if that is your ojbective). First (in functions.php), define your query var: <?php function wpse47974_queryvars( $qvars ) { $qvars[] = ‘wpse47974_filter’; return $qvars; } add_filter( ‘query_vars’, … Read more
use get_adjacent_post(). if nothing is returned for next/prev, get the first/last. Edit- just noticed your custom post type, you’ll also have to filter get_previous_post_where and get_next_post_where to pick up your cpt.
If you don’t have to use query_posts() then this is one method: function my_menu() { global $post; if(!$post->post_parent){ // will display the subpages of this top level page $children = wp_list_pages( array( ‘title_li’ => ”, ‘child_of’ => $post->ID, ‘echo’ => 0 ) ); } elseif($post->ancestors){ // diplays only the subpages of parent level $ancestors = … Read more
get_custom_field is not a standard wordpress function, unless given the source code we cannot help you with it. But I can tell you, that it is not getting its data from the post object, but the post meta. e.g. $value = get_post_meta($post->ID,’key name’,true); // where true indicates there is only a single key value pair … Read more
Found it! Similar to how you’d do it with RSS feeds, you can do it like this: http://example.com/?cat=6&tag=tips-and-tricks Where 6 is the category ID of Social Media (social) category as per the example.
First, do not use query_posts() for secondary loops. The query_posts() function is intended only to modify the primary loop query. Use WP_Query() or get_posts() for secondary loop queries. Also, showposts is deprecated. Use posts_per_page instead. Let’s use WP_Query(), as it will be the most analogous to your current implementation: <?php // First, let’s eliminate some … Read more
DO NOT USE query_posts() FOR CUSTOM LOOPS! Use WP_Query() instead. <?php $paged = get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ? get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) : 1; $custom_cat_query_args = array( ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘category_name’ =>’home,tumblr’ ); $custom_cat_query = new WP_Query( $custom_cat_query_args ); By default, ignore_sticky_posts is set to 0, or do not ignore. So, the custom loop should handle sticky … Read more
