Use a pre_get_posts hook to modify the relevant query variables, with conditional tags to target specific pages/queries (and probably return from the callback early on is_admin() so you do not affect dashboard queries).
Most likely because the query is also searching for a match against the term name/slug, as opposed to “match either term name or meta field”. If you don’t need the search to also look for matches by term name/slug, just unset the search term early on when you apply your meta query: add_action( ‘parse_term_query’, function … Read more
I’m guessing you are using a tax_query here. If you try to query multiple categories or taxonomies, the terms field expects an array $args = array( // other query arguments ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => $taxonomy, ‘field’ => ‘id’, ‘terms’ => array($cats_or_tags), ), ), );
You should use taxonomies to store your relationships. Sidenote: A possible answer was to make the releases children of the artists using the classic post_parent field, however a post can only have 1 parent, and the need for a release to also have a director and other relationships eliminates this option. Taxonomies You will want … Read more
The is_author() conditional can be used to check if the query is targeting an author’s page. By passing one or more User IDs/nicenames into it, it will check for specific author pages. So to check if the current author page is for the current user, it can be passed the return value from get_current_user_id(): if … Read more
You need a loop for this to handle the condition: /** list for course and childless department pages */ $course_and_childless_department_pages = array(); /** get department pages */ $department_pages = get_children( array( ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ) ); foreach ( $department_pages as $department_page ) { /** get course pages (for department … Read more
You don’t need to modify the global current post, just use the get_posts() function instead of WP_Query(). function get_root_project_value( $meta_key ) { if ( empty( $meta_key ) ){ return false; } $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘slug’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘project_is_root_project’, ‘value’ => ‘1’, ), ), ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, // If you … Read more
The problem is that you used OR, specifically the human verbal colloquial understanding, not the logical definition. What you actually meant was AND. Here’s a table demonstrating what happens to A and B for each comparison: A B AND OR XOR === false false ❌ ❌ ❌ ✅ true true ✅ ✅ ❌ ✅ false … Read more
Is that category or custom taxonomy? if this is a category, then try this one. <?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘portfolio’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 50, ‘category__in’ => array(‘8′,’9′,’10’), // your category ids ) ); while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?> <div class=”half-column”> <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2> </div> <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?> Or if … Read more
You need to call that code from within a hook. Calling it directly inside your plugin is way too soon – get_userdata is a pluggable function and will not yet be loaded.
