WP_Query does not have a built-in arg for querying posts by part of the post slug — and normally, one would search for similar posts by the post tag or category; however, you can use a custom arg along with the posts_where hook to query for similar posts by part of the slug. I.e. Use … Read more
This works although I have no idea why this and not that. Would like to see an explanation in an answer. Because that code sets the posts_per_page value to -1 which means no limit and it’s similar to setting nopaging to true, hence all found posts are returned. it reports finding all the posts with … Read more
You can find the post using get_posts() and the meta query (in my example, I used meta_key and meta_value) like so: See the function reference for more details on the parameters (and other examples that might help you), but the ‘fields’ => ‘ids’ means that the function will return only the post IDs and not … Read more
Seems like you have a missing array in tax_query instead of ‘tax_query’ => array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘st_tour_type’ ), should be ‘tax_query’ => array( array ( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘st_tour_type’, ‘operator’ => ‘EXISTS’ ) ), When using tax query without terms/fields we must include the “operator” property. You can check WP_Query taxonomy for more information on working … Read more

meta_query can only be used for meta queries, you can’t use it for non-meta parameters. Even if you could, it would not give a performance benefit. What you want can’t be done, and your second example is searching for posts that have a post meta named post_parent. The canonical answer, is to use 2 query … Read more
do_shortcode() returns the content you pass it with the shortcodes, if any, filtered out (ie, processed). So the code you’ve posted in your question won’t work the way you want it to: do_shortcode( get_the_title() ); printf( ‘<h2><a href=”%s” title=”%s”>%s</a></h2>’, get_permalink(), the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0′ ), get_the_title() ); Instead you’ll need to do something more like this: $title … Read more
Yes, there’s the wpdb class. Some examples can be found for e.g. here. Then there’s the global $wpdb object that contains results and other parts, set based on the current routing. You can also utilize the WP_Query class which is more common. There’s a default global $wp_query object and the $wp_the_query(?) intermediary object, that holds … Read more
If you look at the documentation, first_name is not in the list of accepted values for the fields parameter, and if you enabled debugging, you’d see adding first_name to that parameter would actually cause a database error — Unknown column ‘wp_users.first_name’ in ‘field list’.
