You are getting the error because, by default, wp_get_recent_posts returns an array of posts (due to backward compatibilty) and not the required WP_Post object which is required to setup the template tags. Look at the source code, and you will see that wp_get_recent_posts is a simple wrapper function for get_posts (which is just a wrapper … Read more
If you only wish to effect the one, single query then just can pass the offset argument through the arguments array. $offset = 1; $ppp = 3; if ( $query->is_paged ) { $page_offset = $offset + ( ($query->query_vars[‘paged’]-1) * $ppp ); } blog_items = array( ‘post_type’=> ‘post’, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘posts_per_page’=> $ppp, ‘status’ => ‘publish’, … Read more
This should be working: Be sure that your DB prefix is “wp_” Update wp_users set wp_users.user_login=wp_users.user_nicename where wp_users.user_login=”x”
To enable search on a custom post type archive, I use the pre_get_posts hook. Add this code to your theme functions.php file. Here is an example of enabling search on a post type called “resource”: // Enable resource search add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’pk_enable_resource_search’, 1000); function pk_enable_resource_search( $query ) { if ( $query->is_archive(‘resource’) && $query->is_main_query() && ! is_admin() ) … Read more
You need to build a proper meta_query. Your code will only work when you have one meta_key set, if you have more than 1, everything will be haywire. Also note, you should never ever use any unsanitized, non validated values from a $_GET variable (and for that matter any value coming from anywhere). It is … Read more
The problem with orderby rand is that on most setups the database will load all posts into memory, then randomly order them, and return what you asked for. It’s that loading into memory that makes the query super slow/expensive Also yes, terms are individual categories and tags, where category is a taxonomy, and the ‘development’ … Read more
In each of your hooks & filters handlers, in addition to checking for archive conditions, check for a custom query var that you can then set for a custom/manual query. For example, where you might have: function wpse_223991_pre_get_posts( $wp_query ) { if ( $wp_query->is_main_query() && $wp_query->is_post_type_archive( ‘my_post_type’ ) ) { // Awesome custom stuff } … Read more
You are going in wrong direction there is no way to get user role while admin change from back end. You can retrieve the role object for the current user by calling get_role(), but that’s an object rather than a string with the role name. function get_user_role($uid) { global $wpdb; $role = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT meta_value FROM … Read more
Use the Index of the post currently being displayed to trigger when your custom content is rendered. current_post can be found on WP_Query from within the loop. <?php while( $archive_query->have_posts() ) : $archive_query->the_post(); ?> <article <?php post_class(); ?>> The Content </article> <?php if ( $archive_query->current_post === 2 ): ?> <div>Custom Content</div> <?php endif; ?> <?php … Read more
You could cache the results for that page load. It should hit it in header.php, cache the object, and in index.php you can check availability. Header $custom_query = new WP_Query( $args ); if( $custom_query->have_posts() ) { // Cache Query before loop wp_cache_add( ‘custom_query’, $custom_query ); while( $custom_query->have_posts() ) { $custom_query->the_post(); // Do some stuff, like … Read more
