Just change the post_type bit to: ‘post_type’ => array(‘testimonial’, ‘other_post_type’, ‘another-post-type’), Assuming that taxonomy is valid across all 3 post types. Otherwise you’ll have to leave that out. Why? You can pass an array to post_type field.
There is a sad truth: you can never ever be sure that some code will not break your code, and there is nothing you can do to prevent that. Especially in WordPress, where everything is global. That said, yes, global $post is one of the most used global var, so using special care for it … Read more
you need to use ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, also if you are ordering dates, the best advice is to put them in an easy to order way such as 2012-12-31
See this special note about using the `the_date’ SPECIAL NOTE: When there are multiple posts on a page published under the SAME DAY, the_date() only displays the date for the first post (that is, the first instance of the_date()). To repeat the date for posts published under the same day, you should use the Template … Read more
1. Set the query before WP_Query is run This seems to be the most important thing to keep in mind when trying to keep database queries to a minimum since the only opportunity to alter the query is, of course, before it is run in the SQL database. Normal Queries For a normal query, WordPress … Read more
I feel like there’s an AND/OR confusion going on here. The queries in the OP will only return posts which have both key1 = ‘value1’ AND key2 = ‘value2’. Most WP plugins (that I know of, anyway) do not store multiple values in postmeta, for the same post, using the same key. If what you … Read more
The table where your URL is saved is wp_options. You should do an update on the columns that use the URL for your site: UPDATE TABLE wp_options SET option_value = “new domain” WHERE option_name = “siteurl” UPDATE TABLE wp_options SET option_value = “new domain” WHERE option_name = “home” I might be missing some value, but … Read more
Feeding the query an array of possible values If the value in the database is a string and you want to feed the query several values: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘news’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘topics’, ‘value’ => array ( ‘sports’, ‘nonprofit’, ‘community’ ), ‘compare’ => ‘IN’ ) ) ); Searching for … Read more
I think that now I understand what you are trying to do. When you run a custom query with WP_Query and set the limit to get only 5 posts per page, only 5 posts will be retrieved by the query and that query will only hold 5 posts, BUT for the sake of pagination, WP_Query … Read more
I’ve run into this problem with PageNavi before. My solution is to hijack the $wp_query variable temporarily and then reassign it after closing the loop. An exmaple: <?php $paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; $args=array( ‘post_type’=>’post’, ‘cat’ => 6, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘paged’=>$paged ); $temp = $wp_query; $wp_query= null; $wp_query = new WP_Query($args); /* … Read more
