I ended up using wp_query instead because I couldn’t make wp_get_recent_posts work no matter what I tried. For anyone who needs this functionality in the future, here’s the code I used: // Get the ID of the current posts’s term $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, ‘comic-series’ ); // Only get the parent term and ignore child … Read more
If you want to use the the_ functions (e.g. the_permalink() and the_title()) and including in_category() (without specifying the second parameter) outside of The Loop (the standard one which calls the_post()), you should access the global $post variable and call setup_postdata() to set up global post data and after your foreach ends, call wp_reset_postdata() to restore … Read more
You need to specify the ID, like you did for the link and title. Try: get_the_excerpt( $recent[“ID”] )
wp_get_recent_posts basically uses WP_Query, so you can use the offset parameter. So something like, $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => ‘5’, ‘offset’ => 5 ); Reference: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Offset_Parameter
You can use the post__not_in parameter of WP_Query to exclude an array of post IDs from the query. get_the_category() returns an array of term objects, so the get_term_by is redundant. Also is_single() will always be true in content-single.php (not strictly speaking true but only not so if you are interferring with the template selection). (Finally, … Read more
SOLUTION: I added $titles = array(); at the top (outside the loop). Then, within the loop, I used array_push( $titles, get_the_title( $ID ) ); to collect the titles. Then I just checked the array for a matching title before displaying, like this: if ( !in_array(get_the_title( $ID ), $titles ) ) …then do this And it … Read more
You can do it easily with WP_Query: $args = array( ‘date_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘column’ => ‘post_date’, ‘after’ => ‘-2 days’ ), array( ‘column’ => ‘post_modified’, ‘after’ => ‘-2 days’ ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); More information about date_query parameter of WP_Query. If, for some reason, you still … Read more
I have taken a look and to me it seems that you are not consequent with dates when it is about publishing. (yes I understand that this is probably a new site and you have added all postings at one moment, but just ‘act’ as it was posted on those days/years.) Take a look at … Read more
No there doesn’t really seem to be a better way. Just make sure your class has a new class name, the core widgets aren’t ‘pluggable’. I can’t see any hooks inside the Recent Posts widget that would allow changing its output, nor are there any hooks appropriate for changing a widgets output or callback function. … Read more
You could try this instead if (!is_front_page() && is_home()) { get_template_part(‘template-parts/blog-categories’); } Explanation for the difference between front_page an home is here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/239838 if you set a page as a blog-page it is “home”, in your case the landing-page is the so called “front_page”. This is WordPress specific.
