The is_category function checks the queried object. Since this is in pre_get_posts, the query has not happened yet. Check the other parameters to find if the query is going to be for cat 5, not if the results are for cat 5. Try ->get(‘cat’).
I think you can simply use: post_class( 0 === $featured_posts->current_post ? ‘first’ : ” ); to add the first class directly within your template code, instead of applying the post_class filter.
Custom fields (wp_post_meta) vs Custom Table for large amount of data
I found a solution! I was able to find a function that modified the query on the category page (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-types-category-pagination-404/#post-1913902 – on the first page toward the bottom, written by: Mark / t31os). Add this to functions.php: add_action( ‘parse_query’,’changept’ ); function changept() { $category = get_query_var(‘cat’); $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; if (is_category() … Read more

There was a plugin interfering with the code (Jetpack infinite scroll). Upon disabling it, the first page of the blog correctly displayed 10 posts.
Polylang non-default language ignores tags in WP_Query
When you are in the loop, you can access the current loop item’s index by using the current_post method. You didn’t post any code, so I’m just going for a simple demonstration. If ( have_posts() ) { while( have_posts() ){ the_post(); // Setting the global $wp_query to access the method global $wp_query; // Get the … Read more
$post_attachment->post_author will return user ID. You need to fetch user details from user ID. get_userdata( $userid );
Of course it displays all posts… You create your own custom WP_Query, but then you ignore it and use global one 😉 Here’s the correct code: <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘category_name’ => ‘wedding-venue’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 8, ‘facetwp’ => true, ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?> <?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) … Read more
