So I figured out how to get what I want, but it’s still not perfect. The problem revolved around how my custom meta value was being stored – basically as a string. I needed to tell MySQL that it was a date, so it could be used to order the posts. To this end, I … Read more
<?php $timelimit=1 * 86400; //days * seconds per day $post_age = date(‘U’) – get_post_time(‘U’); if ($post_age < $timelimit) { echo ‘this post is within my time limits ‘; //DO SOMETHING } ?>
use wp_reset_query after your loop to restore the global post data for the main loop.
The query would look something like this: $title_tagged_posts_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘tag’ => strtolower( get_the_title() ) ) ); while ( $title_tagged_posts_query->have_posts() ) : $title_tagged_posts_query->the_post(); //Output whatever you want here. endwhile; This assumes that the tag slug for “Hippo” is “hippo”, which should normally be the case.
Assuming you want it for all the terms in the ‘Genre’ taxonomy. In the loop on the single Service post page, put this code: <?php $the_terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID, ‘genre’ ); if(isset($the_terms) && !empty($the_terms)){ foreach($the_terms as $the_term){ $the_terms_slugs[] = $the_term->slug; } } $works = get_posts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘works’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘tax_query’ => array(array( ‘taxonomy’ … Read more
You’ll have to save the date under its own meta key to be able to query and order on it. Right now your meta is being serialized into a single string, so MySQL is unable to query on that data.
You can get information on the currently logged in user using the get_currentuserinfo() function. For example: <?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); $username = $current_user->user_login; $user_id = $current_user->ID; ?> You can then use $username or $user_id in your custom loop. <?php // assign the variable as current category $category = $user_id; // concatenate the query $args=”cat=” . … Read more
Look at: http://pastebin.com/2mKXyKa9 I’ve moved the content beneath the meta, so you have the order… 1. IMAGE 2. TITLE 3. META 4. CONTENT …as it currently stands, the partial snippet you pasted above has the content being called above the thumbnail. Also you are missed the block which contains the meta content, so it makes … Read more
Assuming, as per the above comment, the format of the dates is YYYY/MM/DD: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘cat’ => 6, ‘meta_key’ => ‘begin_date’, // adjust to actual key ‘meta_value’ => date( ‘Y/m/d’ ), ‘meta_compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’ ); $wpse72195_query = new WP_Query( $args ); // do something with … Read more
Taxonomies are probably not the best option: There is still no table for term meta data, and if you are using a people custom post type plus a taxonomy of the same name, you will have a hard time keeping everything synchronized.
