First, I would recommend making this change in Category.php file, as archive.php is affecting tags as well as other archives according to WordPress Theme Hierarchy file system. Try adding the two queries like next: $cats = get_the_category(); $cat_id = $cats[0]->term_id; // news $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘news’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘cat’ => $cat_id, ); … Read more
Did you look at the documentation for WP_Query? The p parameter takes only a single integer. Use post__in. $args = array( ‘post__in’ => array( 206, 189 ), ‘post_type’ => ‘product’, );
Turns out meta_query was the way to go. This is the code I used to make it work. add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘filter_posts’ ); function filter_posts( $query ) { $now = date(“Y-m-d H:i”, strtotime(‘+2 hours’)); if( is_category() && !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’,’10’ ); $query->set( ‘orderby’,’meta_value_num’ ); $query->set( ‘meta_key’,’date-start-custom’ ); $query->set( ‘meta_query’, array( array( ‘key’ … Read more
Because of this line: $paged = get_query_var( “paged” ) ? get_query_var( “paged” ) : 1; This is inside a function that is used on both an AJAX handler, and on a page request. get_query_var pulls the parameters from the main query ( aka the primary WP_Query that powers functions such as the_post, have_posts() etc ). … Read more
I have to wonder if post_status=public would successfully exclude. That way it’s just targeting the public posts.
Ok, total revision on my original answer, which just turned into a mess. The issue with your code is that you’re firing on init, this covers every admin page, and additionally it’s too early to check admin vars to work out the current page(though you could just check $_GET if you really need to run … Read more
You could run a custom query to count the amount of posts with a given key using $wpdb or more specifically using get_var(). If i assume you want to count published posts with a given key, then something like the folowing should do it..(though this is just an example). function get_meta_count( $key = ”, $type=”post”, … Read more
The $wpdb object is part of WordPress, so wouldn’t be loaded into a standalone PHP page as it is into a WordPress template. You might want to look into creating your own page templates, then you could run your database query as part of that page template. As a side note: You are currently trusting … Read more
I see a few problems with your code. you are missing post_type field in your form. the name of the taxonomy dropdown should be the name of your custom taxonomy. the form method is set to GET yet you check the selected with POST. so your form should look something like this: <form method=”get” id=”searchform” … Read more
The “default” query is the one WordPress does itself, based on the URL and such, automatically. Any query you create manually, via a new WP_Query or by calling query_posts(), will not use the ‘request’ filter. There is only one “default” query, and you cannot trigger it via any code in the template.
