I’m not sure what you’re doing with the above script, but here are some random suggestions: Avoid using the root user, for security reasons create another database user with less powers.

get_category_link() accept the category ID or object and you are passing the post ID. the_category() accept Separator as a first parameter to separate multiple categories and again you are passing post ID.

wp_query has the offset parameter which you can use to skip posts, e.g. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘video’, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘tax-video’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => ‘t-o-t-w’, ), ), ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘8’, ‘offset’ => 1, // excludes the first post in the query ); you may just be over thinking … Read more

The Recent Posts widget, and the posts page for that matter, doesn’t display ordered by update date, it orders by published date. If it’s displaying by updated date then you must have a plugin somewhere that’s changing this behaviour, or are using something other than the standard Recent Posts widget.
From the context of your question I understand that you don’t use next_post_link and previous_post_link for the implementation of the Next and Prev buttons, so you have to use CSS to hide them appropriately. next_post_link and previous_post_link simply don’t display the links if the current post is the last/first on the loop, so I think … Read more
