You don’t have to run two queries, as you already got what you want (even more). $args = array ( ‘post_type’ => ‘mytheme_posttype’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘numberposts’ => 12, ); $sliderQuery = new WP_Query($args); $num_posts = $sliderQuery->post_count; if ($num_posts >=4) { if ($num_posts >= 12) $postsToPrint = 12; elseif ($num_posts >=8) $postsToPrint = 8; else … Read more
An easy way is to use a static variable to store author name, then run again same function on a later hook, maybe ‘posts_results’ and set back the variable: function wpquery( $query, $query_on_results = NULL ) { static $author_name = NULL; if ( current_filter() === ‘pre_get_posts’ ) { if ( $query->is_author() && $query->is_main_query() ) { … Read more
You could also use the posts_orderby filter: function wpse155827_posts_orderby_price( $orderby ) { return str_replace( ‘wp_postmeta.meta_value’, ‘substr(wp_postmeta.meta_value, 1)’, $orderby ); } add_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, ‘wpse155827_posts_orderby_price’ ); $theQuery = new WP_Query( array( ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘price’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘suppress_filters’ => false, ) ); remove_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, ‘wpse155827_posts_orderby_price’ );
Use like this query_posts( array( ‘category__in’ => array(5,1), ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘orderby’ => ‘title’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ ) ); or $my_query = new WP_query(array(‘category__and’ => array(5,1))); while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
I think instead of using PHP rand you’re better off limiting ( if you need to ) using posts_per_page and then getting a random set using orderby => ‘rand’. Full List of Ordering Parameters So if I were to edit your query it would look like this: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘meta_key’ => … Read more
This should do the trick, I guess: $args = array( ‘number’ => 10, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘status’ => ‘approve’, ‘parent’ => 0 ); $comments = get_comments( $args ); You can find full list of arguments in Codex.
Custom queries and sticky posts are quite a curve ball to work with. I don’t know how your setup looks and what exactly is your user case, but your best solution here would be to run two queries here, the first one to get your sticky posts and the other one to display normal posts … Read more
No need for post IDs what has no thumbnail. Use meta query to get only those what has thumbnail. Add meta query function get_only_posts_with_images( $query ) { if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘meta_query’, array( array( ‘key’ => ‘_thumbnail_id’ ) ) ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘get_only_posts_with_images’ ); Or use custom query. $query … Read more
Use the pre_get_posts action to override the default query. In the admin, a date query will be the query var m in the format YYYYMM. Assuming your meta dates are stored the same as MySQL dates (YYYY-MM-DD), you can use the following: function wpse_189824_date_meta_query( $wp_query ) { if ( is_admin() && $wp_query->is_main_query() && $wp_query->get( ‘post_type’ … Read more
You are correct, you will need to get the image URL and set is as a variable so you can echo it out as an inline style in your HTML. I’ve updated your foreach loop below and set the image as an inline style of your <li> element: foreach( $postQuery as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); … Read more
