There is no build in function to achieve what you want, at least not for complicated meta queries like this. If you need to use build in functions for this, the best will be to make use of WP_Query. To make the query faster and to skip the unwanted returned array of WP_Post properties, and … Read more
Why not just use get_pages()? e.g. <?php // Determine parent page ID $parent_page_id = ( ‘0’ != $post->post_parent ? $post->post_parent : $post->ID ); // Get child pages as array $page_tree_array = get_pages( array( ‘child_of’ => $parent_page_id; ) ); ?> But if it really must be as a WP_Query() object, use a similar method: <?php // … Read more
global $wpdb; $result = $wpdb->get_results ( ” SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type=”page” ” ); foreach ( $result as $page ) { echo $page->ID.'<br/>’; echo $page->post_title.'<br/>’; }
Have you tried using the WP_Query class? You might find it’s easier to use the built-in tools for this instead of a custom query from scratch. Something similar to the following should work for you: <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘recipe_cpt’, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘recipe_tx’, ‘field’ => ‘term_id’, ‘terms’ => 37 … Read more

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
