I would start by reorganizing your $args code to make more sense. $now = date(‘d-m-Y H:i:s’); $cat=”featured”; $args = $cat_args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘events’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 4, ‘meta_key’ => ‘start_date’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘key’ => ‘start_date’, ‘value’ => date(‘Ymd’, strtotime(‘now’)), ‘type’ => ‘numeric’, ‘compare’ … Read more
This is not possible with the WP_Query. You can specify relationship inside the tax query and inside the meta query, but, you can’t have the query where meta and tax query are connected by OR. You can always build the SQL query the way you want it, not relying on the WP_Query at all to … Read more
Looking at WP_Tax_Query and WP_Meta_Query used by Wp_Query, they return their respective where clauses with an AND relation, and no hook or $args to change that behavior. Furthermore, the tax_query is computed before the rest of the main query so that it’s included in the main query in term_taxonomy_id IN (…) form. Also the WP_Tax_Query … Read more
I believe the error lies in $topic_query[‘tax_query’] = $topic_tax_query; which should be $topic_query_args[‘tax_query’] = $topic_tax_query; A simple variable mixup, so your taxonomy query makes it into WP_Query.
Got it to work with: $queried_object = get_queried_object () ; and ‘terms’ => $queried_object->slug, full code now: <?php $queried_object = get_queried_object () ; $posts = array ( ‘post_type’ => ‘writing’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘type’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => $queried_object->slug, ), ), ); $loop = new WP_Query( $posts ); … Read more
You have syntax error in tax_query. ‘tax_query’ => array( array ( ‘taxonomy’ => $term->taxonomy, ‘field’ => ‘term_id’, // this is default value, so can be ommited ‘terms’ => $term->term_id, ) ) As you can read in Codex, possible values for field parameter are: term_id (default), name, slug or term_taxonomy_id. In this question you can read … Read more
The solution to the problem is that the tax_query needs to be an array of arrays. Thank you Sally CJ for the comment above, which also reminded me to $query->request. Here’s the total Walker for anyone for whom it’s useful: class List_Category_Walker extends Walker_Category { function start_el( &$output, $category, $depth = 0, $args = array(), … Read more
Main problem with your code is that tax_query should be an array of queries, and not a single query. $tax_query = array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘filter’, ‘terms’ => array(30140, 30020, 30008, 29998, 29991, 21458,20197,11986,6614), ‘field’ => ‘term_id’, ‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’ ) ); $query->set( ‘tax_query’, $tax_query );
You can access the terms with the get_the_terms function. You can pass the name of the taxonomy as well as the ID to the function. Make sure to grab the ID correctly inside the loop – get_the_ID() should work. After that it’s a matter of joining the results with comma separation. With array_merge you can … Read more
In your original setup all category queries on the frontend were affected by the pre_get_posts filter you defined. Hence its interference with the menu query. Then you added an extra condition, is_main_query. The result being that both the menu and your main loop were no longer affected by the filter. This can mean only one … Read more
