First, don’t use is_main_query() function (method is ok). It tells something absolutely different from what you would think it does — was the main query overridden. As far as I remember, there is no clean solution to this since WP doesn’t have a concept of explicitly passing context to a specific template or template part. … Read more
After some thought, I came up with a possible “solution”. However, it wasn’t exactly the route I hoped to take. The custom post type and all custom taxonomies for that custom post type must be registered on ALL network sites in order for WP_Query(); to fetch posts from the primary site from any of the … Read more
I know it is too late but I hope it is going to help someone in the future You can add a filter to posts_where and add a regexp to limit it to the first letter. WordPress documentation for posts_where add_filter( ‘posts_where’ , ‘posts_where’ ); function posts_where( $where ) { if( is_admin() ) { global … Read more
You just set the ‘author’ parameter in a WP_Query query or get_posts (which accepts the same parameters): $recent = get_posts(array( ‘author’=>1, ‘orderby’=>’date’, ‘order’=>’desc’, ‘numberposts’=>1 )); if( $recent ){ $title = get_the_title($recent[0]->ID); }else{ //No published posts } (Note the ‘orderby’ and ‘order’ here are redundant because they are set to their default values, but you get … Read more
I have actually worked on a post yesterday (check it out here) and was hit by the same problem. I’m also new to the Transient API, never actually worked with it :-). The problem here is that for a specific loop you need to use a certain value outside of your transient. You are simply … Read more
There’s the “tax_query” argument available since the latest wp release: global $query_string; $args[‘tax_query’] = array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘status’ ,’terms’ => array( ‘available’, ‘pending’ ) // change to “sold” for 2nd query ,’field’ => ‘slug’ ), ); $args[‘post_type’] = ‘listing’; parse_str( $query_string, $args ); $avail_n_pend = query_posts( $args ); if ( $avail_n_pend->have_posts() ) : while … Read more
You have to note that an ajax request is an entirely new http request, so the $query variable is defined in the page that send the ajax request but will be not set in the page that receive the request. That means that you have completely recreate the query and not change a param. That … Read more
I think a small plugin with the hook ‘publish_posts’ is enough. But I dont know about a core function to delete revisions and I use a query with WP functions. The source is untested, written only for this post. <?php /** * Plugin Name: WPSE71248 Delete Revisions on Publish Posts * Plugin URI: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/71248/ * … Read more
This github repo has bdn.getPosts extended XML-RPC function to get category. Get 10 most recently modified posts in the sports category ($category can be either a slug or an ID) `array( 1, $username, $password, ‘post’, ‘sports’, 10, array( ‘orderby’ => ‘modified’ ) );`
Before I start, do not use get_posts for paginated queries. get_posts legally breaks pagination, and does not return the query object. If you need to paginate queries, use WP_Query As for your issue, I really don’t think limiting the total overall amount of posts to only 100 is possible when you involve pagination.
