Been a while since I used shortcode_atts but should $categories be $category? also, make sure it’s returning the correct type e.g. string or int and you’re searching for a valid slug.
The question that is similar to your question, i took sample code from there. you can replace ‘post_parent with this. global $post; $args = [ ‘wpse_include_parent’ => true, ‘post_parent’ => wp_get_post_parent_id( $post->ID ), ‘post_type’ => ‘post’ // Add additional arguments ]; $q = new WP_Query( $args ); This code will get the parents post id … Read more
I initially thought you’re using the code in the question on a Page (a post of the type page), but if you are actually using that code on an archive-based page (e.g. the home page, a category page, etc.), then the 404 error is normal. You can’t paginate secondary/custom query on archive-based pages. Well, not … Read more
Note that the s query arg/string is reserved for posts, so you should use a different name for your custom user search. So basically, you just need to “play” with the meta query nesting. Yes, just like common (PHP) arrays can be in a multi-dimensional/multi-level format, so does the meta_query parameter, be it for WP_Query … Read more
pre_get_posts is fired before the query is run and is used to customize the query before its is run. See here for a list of hooks, they are listed in order of execution. https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference I would suggest using a hook that fires after the query is run for example, template_redirect is fired immediately after the … Read more
Sure! There are tons of parameters for WP-Query that can probably do what you want. Offset is usually used when your data is ordered. So if you want to ignore the two most recent ones you need to order it by date descending first, then set offset = 2. It doesn’t matter if you apply … Read more
OK so I have had this problem with searching custom fields data. The thing is with the native WordPress search, is that is really good, fast and powerful, but it’s limitations is that it only searches the wp_posts table. It does not frickin’ query the wp_postmeta table! So to make the most of the native … Read more
So we already resolved the issue via the comments, but I thought I should explain something: has_excerpt() returns ! empty( $post->post_excerpt ) if the post has a custom/manual excerpt, so if the function is returning true when it should be false, then it’s likely because the length of the excerpt in the database is > … Read more
First remove the order section from your args, also add nested meta_queries like the following example: $args_com_subset = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post_type’ => ‘company’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘company_tiers’, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( ‘key’ => ‘company_tiers’, ‘value’ => array( 1,2,3,4 ), ‘compare’ => ‘IN’, ), array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘key’ => ‘company_type’, … Read more
Your code is interfering with the internal structure of WP_Query and WP_Post, and making assumptions about how it works. This is extremely unusual, and not best practice when developing with WordPress. Case in point, officially there is no post_meta member variable on that class ( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_post/ ). That’s not how you fetch a posts meta … Read more
