You need to sort in descending order so the last 5 posts will be on top. Just add ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ to your args. $args = Array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘5’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘views’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ );
I believe the problem is how you are using this code: $args = array(‘post_type’ => array( ‘make’, ‘model’, ‘price’ ), ‘showposts’=>100, ‘orderby’=>’date’); $type_posts = new WP_Query($args); You may want to change it to something like this: $args = array(‘post_type’ => array( $post_type ), ‘showposts’=>100, ‘orderby’=>’date’); $type_posts = new WP_Query($args); So that it only grabs posts … Read more
Here is what I would do: Run an SQL query like so: SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_status` = ‘publish’ AND `post_type` = ‘post’ GROUP BY `post_author` ORDER BY `post_date` ASC LIMIT 100 The above will give you the first 100 authors to have a post published. or: SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_status` = … Read more
What ended up working is adding the array key, “orderby” and adding menu_order: <?php // query for vidoes in the home page category $args = array( ‘post_type’ =>array(‘videos’, ‘podcasts’), ‘category_name’ => ‘Videos on Homepage’, ‘post_per_page’ => 4, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’, ); $loop = new WP_Query($args); // start loop for first set of … Read more

You can use the add_filter line inside the template itself & no filter in the “functions.php” file. Then just after retrieving the posts remove that filter with a call to remove_filter. The actual function may still reside in the functions.php file add_filter(‘posts_orderby’, ‘edit_posts_orderby’); // get all the posts for this specific loop here remove_filter(‘posts_orderby’, ‘edit_posts_orderby’); … Read more
The simplest way is, in all honesty, to hook into wp_title and change things, and just be aware that the warnings are there but not showing in production (because you’ve property configured your server). What follows is a kind of hacky solution. If you take a look at get_queried_object… <?php function get_queried_object() { global $wp_query; … Read more
You probably also need: $query->set( ‘ignore_sticky_posts’, true ); That will prevent sticky posts from shuffling to the top. Maybe: $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, -1 ); If you are getting too few posts. -1 means “all”. You can use that to change to a number other than what is set in the backend. A couple of notes: $query->set( … Read more
You should not have to specify orderby=date. That is the default. If you look at the query, you will see that the field used is post_date, which is the publication date and not the modification date– post_modified. You can prove this just by dumping $wp_query after your call to query_posts. Or try: $q = new … Read more
Try like this : $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘car’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘your category/taxonomy name for post type car’, ‘terms’ => ‘term name/category name’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’ ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query($args); $results = $query->get_posts(); print_r($results); Yes every post has different slug, even if you have … Read more
