The cat-parameter is not overwritten by tax_query. Instead, it is added to tax_query. Thus, using ‘cat’ => -5, the following array is appended to tax_query: ( [taxonomy] => category [terms] => Array ( [0] => 5 ) [include_children] => 1 [field] => term_id [operator] => NOT IN ) The resulting taxonomy query is built up … Read more
Try This: $args = array( ‘hide_empty’ => false, // also retrieve terms which are not used yet ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘feature-group’, ‘value’ => ‘kitchen’, ‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’ ) ), ‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’, ); $terms = get_terms( $args );
Checked the source, and it seems the only way to get this done is filtering the output count for each term, you can achieve that by inserting this filter before your get_terms call. Note that this will now always display published item count so be careful on its usage. function get_terms_filter_published( $terms, $taxonomies, $args ) … Read more
Unfortunately, tax_query does not have a compare match modifier like meta_query, allowing for wildcard searches with the ‘LIKE’ operator. So you need to have a different approach. I can think of 2 ways to solve this problem, 1) Use the global $wpdb object to search for all the terms that match your text search and … Read more
It’s already a hierarchical post type – no need for some extra meta value just for the order. You can simply add post type support for page-attributes when registering the post type. This will give you the “menu order” meta box that pages have per default. Then simply order your query by it: ‘orderby’ => … Read more
Nevermind I (think) I got it… $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘product’, ‘tax_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array( ‘ring’ ), ), array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_tag’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array( ‘black’, ‘men’ ), ‘operator’ => ‘AND’ ), ), ); Missing the ‘operator’ => ‘AND’ … Read more
Turned out to be a plugin conflict. I had turned off all plugins at one point to no noticeable benefit, but then turned a few back on so I could run some other things on the site I was working with. The trouble was with the Easy Custom Content Types plugin (a very handy plugin) … Read more
You should take your third query outside the first // We will now run the second query if $count is less than $total_posts if ( $count < $total_posts ) { condition. You should also need to update the counter after the second query and rebuild the list to exclude posts already in the array of … Read more
Taxonomy queries are by default extremely complex relative custom field queries. Without benchmarking I am pretty sure they are going to be slower even if the meta table isn’t indexed, but you can add an index if you want. It won’t effect WordPress at all. My advice is “use what logically works for the data”. … Read more
Here is how I ended up solving it, with some thanks to Samuel for pointing at tax_query, although that was only part of the picture. I needed to create a loop, and I did it like so: $ones = get_terms( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘ONE’, ‘hide_empty’ => false, ‘fields’ => ‘id=>slug’ ) ); $fruits = get_terms( … Read more
