Your problem is that you are not resetting all the needed query variables, like WP_Query::$is_page, WP_Query::$is_single and WP_Query::$is_archive. Also note that ‘pre_get_posts’ is fired for all queries, the main and the secondaries, so you should check that you are working on the main query. Finally, when you get data from $_GETyou should sanitize it before … Read more
Just to start, you say “I am using get_terms to retrieve all terms from Tax 1 with posts associated with it”, however your actual code gets all terms in that taxonomy regardless of whether or not they have posts. You need to set hide_empty to true. So with that out of the way, the bad … Read more
When you’re doing a tax_query or meta_query in a WP_Query, you always have to use a nested array( array() ); just see the following example for an explanation and pay attention to the relation argument. $packages = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘vamos-cpt-packages’, ‘tax_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘vamos-holiday-types’, ‘field’ => … Read more
You cannot do this in one query, this is a bit too advanced for what WP_Query can do at this point in time. We will need to run at least two (I’m going to use 3) queries here to achieve what you want FIRST QUERY The first query will query for posts according to post_tag, … Read more
I suspect you need an array for the terms – although I’m not sure why it would work with “IN” and not with “NOT IN”… But I’d try this: function menta_pre_get_posts( $query ) { if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_search() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $term = get_term_by(‘slug’, get_query_var(‘s’), ‘product_tag’); if ( $term && !is_wp_error( $term ) … Read more
The only option you have is to write your own SQL into the posts_clauses filter, where you get an array of the JOIN, WHERE, ORDER, etc. clauses that you can alter, add to, remove, etc. One MAJOR MAJOR note on this, is ALWAYS use the global $wpdb‘s prepare function, which will sanitize all your lovely … Read more
It looks like you are making an array with a single string inside. Check if making $tax into an array before passing it will work: $tax = array( 19, 18, 214, 226, 20 ); $query_args = array ( ‘post_type’ => ‘works’, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘materials’, ‘field’ => ‘term_id’, ‘terms’ => $tax, ) … Read more
Unless you have posts that don’t have a city aren’t you essentially querying all your posts? Anyway, Eric Holmes is correct that you should be using WP_Query in lieu of query_posts(). That said, you can get a list of all the terms in a taxonomy and then use those values in your tax query. // … Read more
You use tax_query incorrectly. Take a look at Codex Page tax_query should be an array which can contain: relation – it should be string (AND/OR) taxonomy term – array with defined taxonomy, field, terms, and so on. In your code your setting tax_query to: $taxquery = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ … Read more
Does tax_query beats meta_query even in situations like this? No. Taxonomies are appropriate if you have a common set of values that are shared by many posts, and you’re doing a simple comparison based on whether the post has or does not have a particular value. They are not appropriate if you need to perform … Read more
