You cannot use the direct class methods have_posts() or the_post() unless you’re working with the main query. In order to modify the main query you must use query_posts. If you want to create a new query object you need to call those methods from the new query object as Rarst showed in his example. So … Read more
query_posts() is for main query, it would be more wise to use get_posts() function to get you events. // Modify get_posts args for your needs $events = get_posts( array ( ‘post_type’ => ‘events’ ) ); if ( $events ) { echo ‘<ul>’; foreach ( $events as $event ) { $event_date = get_post_meta( $event->ID, ‘event-date’, true … Read more
Use a pre_get_posts action in your functions.php with conditional tags, and remove the call to query_posts: function wpa62751_pre_get_posts( $query ) { if ( is_category( ‘my-category’ ) && is_main_query() ) $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, 4 ); } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpa62751_pre_get_posts’ );
First: don’t use query_posts(), ever. Second, to create a category archive index page template for a specific category, refer to the Codex entry for the Template Hierarchy: category-{slug}.php category-{id}.php category.php archive.php index.php So, if you have a category, ‘foobar’, with a category ID of 1, you could do either of the following: category-foobar.php category-1.php And … Read more
I think you are using the wrong post_type for regular posts. $args = array(‘post_type’=>array(‘post’, TribeEvents::POSTTYPE)); // The Query $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); // The Loop while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); echo ‘<li>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</li>’; endwhile; // Restore original Post Data wp_reset_postdata();
In every template file of your theme, even in the header.php you can put <?php $term = null; $btn = __(‘Search’); if ( is_category() ) { $term = get_queried_object(); } ?> <form method=”get” id=”search_form” action=”<?php echo home_url(); ?>”> <div> <input type=”text” value=”” name=”s” id=”s” /> <?php if ($term) { $btn = sprintf( __(‘Search in %s’), … Read more
There are a few errors which I want to address First of all, you should never use query_posts to construct custom queries. This is not just my emphasis, but the codex as well. The one big problem with query_posts is, it many circumstances, pagination fails Note: This function isn’t meant to be used by plugins … Read more
This isn’t possible with a standard WP query, and you’ll have to leverage the use of posts_where before the WP_Query is called. function the_dramatist_filter_where($where=””){ $where .= ” AND trim(coalesce(post_content, ”)) <>””; return $where; } In the above, we’re simply only selecting posts where the column post_content isn’t empty. Then add the filter. add_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘the_dramatist_filter_where’); Now … Read more
There are two ways to do this, both involve WP_Query. No Hooks Unfortunately, this is the less flexible way of doing things, but it is the way which is built into WP_Query. With the default WP_Query time parameters, you can get all the posts for a given numerical date. For example, all the posts from … Read more
Could you do something like this? <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => array(‘post’,’movie’,’actor’), ‘posts_per_page’ => ’20’, ); query_posts( $args ); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); global $post; if (($post_type == ‘movie’) && (get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘meta_key’, true) == ‘your-value’)) { // Display your content for Movie Post Type with meta value set } else if (($post_type … Read more
