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.
How to obtain the recent posts without their content? The same way you would any other post, just don’t use the post content. Not fetching the post content will not improve performance, and may actually hurt performance. This is because WordPress would need to make an additional query if it needed the post content. When … Read more
