For your second example, I think you’re initiating your Loop incorrectly. You’re declaring $query, which hasn’t been globalized? // Search is working, querying is not global $query_string; // required $posts = query_posts($query_string.’&posts_per_page=3&cat=$catid’); while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); Try omitting $query from your Loop initiation? // Search is working, querying is not global $query_string; // … Read more

Dan, First a advice: don’t use query_posts to get your pages. Use get_pages instead. Here is how you can do what you are asking using get_pages. get_pages( array( ‘parent’ => 0, ‘sort_column’ => ‘menu_order’ ) ); You can also specify whether you want to sort in ascending order or in descending order. Default sorting order … Read more
Here is the SQL Query with everything set. This does assume you have the standard wordpress table prefix in your config. update wp_posts set post_title = replace(post_title,”>”,””)

Using query_posts() you can pass ‘post_type=custom-post-type’ it will however not work with a category associated with default posts but instead you can pass the custom taxonomy name are the value taxonomy=taxonomy_value You’ll need to do something like: query_posts(array(‘post_type’ => ‘customposttype’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 72, ‘custom_taxonomy_name’ => ‘custom_taxonomy_value’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’));
How about something along these lines? function my_filter_where( $where=”” ) { global $post; $where .= ‘ AND post_date <= “‘.$post->post_date.'”‘; return $where; } add_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘my_filter_where’ ); $query = new WP_Query( $query_string ); remove_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘my_filter_where’ );
