It looks like there’s two problem with the code you’re trying to use. The first is AUTHOR_ID. Unless you have this defined somewhere else, then this is going to cause an undefined constant error. The second one is that there should be a closing PHP tag ?> before <?php endwhile; ?>. Another thing is, that … Read more
You can keep tracks of number of cycles and run extras when counter matches. Something like this: $array = array(1,2,3,4,5); $i = 0; foreach($array as $set) { if(2 == $i) echo ‘after 2’; if(4 == $i) echo ‘after 4’; echo $set; $i++; } I must note that this is more of PHP basics and really … Read more
If all you want is to list some recent portfolio items in the sidebar, you’re overkilling it by trying to emulate the wp_list_pages function. You can do this with a simple custom query. (Unless you really want to do this with wp_list_pages for some reason, but I can’t think of why you would.) // Set … Read more
You can use your current code to create the query and then in your loop run a check before displaying the events something like <?php query_posts(‘meta_key’ => ‘end_date_value’, ‘meta_compare’ => ‘>’, ‘meta_value’ => $todaysDate); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $post_custom = get_post_custom($post_id); if ($startDate < $post_custom[‘start_date_value’]){ //your loop here } } ?> keep in … Read more
change your query a bit: $todays_date = time(); $args = array (‘post_type’ => ‘tasks’, ‘meta_key’ => ”end_date, ‘meta_compare’ => ‘<‘, ‘meta_value’ => $todays_date, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’ ); $tasks = get_posts($args); and then for each one of this posts get the start_date meta and compare with $today something like: $today = strtotime($today); foreach ($tasks as $task_post){ … Read more
I think you need to change: $case_studies->query(‘post_type=case_studies&p=54,49,44’); to $case_studies->query_posts( array( ‘post__in’ => array( 54, 49, 44 ) ) ); I’d look at this page for LOTS more examples. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts. when your there search for “Multiple Posts/Pages Handling”. Hope this helps, I’m still new to wordpress.
Strange, that usage of category__and should be working. As for following logic I don’t think you can accomplish anything that complex with query parameters. There are several possible ways to deal with it that I can think of: simplify category structure and/or selection logic; modify raw SQL with posts_where filter; store selection criteria in post … Read more
Simple and short: mysql_query() = Faster! $wpdb->get_results() = Safer! But in most cases since $wpdb is a global object and already in the memory using it will be be as fast as mysql_query(). Will this affect my performance? It can affect for better performance changes but they would be minor changes that its just not … Read more
You can change the posts_per_page variable depending on the page you are on, so make it 10 on the first page and 20 on the other pages. However, you will have to modify the offset query variable too, otherwise you will skip posts 11-20 on the second page, because this page thinks they are already … Read more
