I ended up figuring out a solution to this issue even though it was not exactly what i was looking for. In Settings -> Reading there is an option to set the posts page to a specific page. What I did was. Create a new page with my base page template. Add this page to … Read more
You’re looking for template_redirect: add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘my_category_template’); function my_category_template(){ if(is_category(5)){ // <- category ID/title/slug require “path/to/your/template.php”; } } If you only need to change the query arguments, then see Mike’s answer to this question
Just check the total number of posts found: if($your_query->found_posts > 20) … and decide how do you want your mark-up to be. If want to see how many products are associated with a certain product_category term, use get_term() and check out the ‘count’ property
If you can formulate problematic part of your request as WP query you can run it and look at $wpdb->last_query to see generated SQL. This is usually easiest way to have a starting point and something to customize further.
You can use the following filter: add_filter(‘wp_list_pages’, ‘foo_bar’); function foo_bar($html){ //Create a regex pattern to identify the LI element with preg_match //Create another pattern to identify the class attr and alter it with preg_replace return $html; } As I’m not familiar with the exact elements you are working with, I can’t write up a regex … Read more
I think next_posts_link() is using the global $wp_query to determine pagination, but you’ve created a new query here. Try passing max_num_pages from your $loop query to it: next_posts_link( ‘<span class=”nextpost”>Next</span>’, $loop->max_num_pages );
Use get_posts to get all the posts in this category, then loop over it and update the post meta for every post. <?php //get_posts uses same parameters as WP_Query hence using ‘category_name’ $tut_posts = get_posts(array(‘category_name’=>’tution’, ‘post_status’=>’publish’)); $url = //some youtube video url here if(!empty($tut_posts)){ foreach($tut_posts as $tut_post){ update_post_meta($tut_post->ID, ‘video’, $url); } } Please check if … Read more
Because your posts are only saved whithin the $promo var and not in the $wp_query global var. I recommend you to use get_posts() http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
Why don’t you use a fat-free $wpdb->get_var() for the task? global $wpdb; $ID = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT `ID` FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE `post_type`=’post’ AND `post_status`=’publish’ ORDER BY `post_date_gmt` DESC LIMIT 1;”); $post = $ID ? get_post($ID) : null; // Now get the actual post This is way more efficient and light-weight. Without all the bells and whistles of … Read more
&reel=commercials?paged=2 That’s the problem at the end of that query string. You can’t start a query string twice so that ?paged=2 bit is being read as part of the reel parameter’s value. The question mark should be another & eg: ?author=2&reel=commercials&paged=2
