If you merely want to modify posts_per_page for tag and category archive index pages, don’t use query_posts(); instead, filter the $query via pre_get_posts: function wpse87489_filter_pre_get_posts( $query ) { if ( ( is_category() || is_tag() ) && $query->is_main_query ) { $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, ‘2’ ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpse87489_filter_pre_get_posts’ );
You don’t need to call wp_reset_query() here, because you’re not modifying the main query. Instead, call wp_reset_postdata(). You only need to call wp_reset_query() when modifying the main loop via query_posts() (which you shouldn’t do, anyway, so you should never need to call wp_reset_query()). But new WP_Query(), with a properly instantiated loop – i.e. one that … Read more
If you read the codex page carefully, you will see that taxonomy parameter {tax} (in your case it is customtaxonomy) takes only string value. Furthermore such taxonomy parameter is deprecated from version 3.1. So in your case you have to pass tax_query array with terms array: $query = new WP_Query ( array( ‘tax_query’ => array( … Read more
WordPress adds slashes to the REQUEST/GET/POST superglobals, if I’m not mistaken. Try this change: $ajaxCounty = stripslashes( $_POST[‘varCounty’] ); $ajaxTown = stripslashes( $_POST[‘varTown’] ); Related Trac ticket.
$query->the_post; should be: $query->the_post(); The first is trying to fetch a property named the_post rather than invoking the function so the post never advances, and your loop is infinite.
You could use usort(). Your callback function would need to determine the last names and sort by them. So, for instance: $args = array( ‘post_type’ = ‘Employees’, ); $employees = get_posts( $args ); usort( $employees, ‘wp91501_sort_employees’ ); and then your callback might be: function wp91501_sort_employees( $a, $b ) { // split the names into arrays … Read more
If it doesn’t work, chances are you do not have at least one post linked to that specific category 4. If you wanted to sort by DESC and by date, you wouldn’t have to specify those as arguments in the query because those are both the defaults for sorting. Also, instead of initializing a WP_Query … Read more
You can style the first 3 posts differently without querying them separately, you just need to check where you are within the loop while outputting each post via the built in current_post var. while( have_posts() ): the_post(); // are we on the first page and outputting one of the first 3 posts? if( !is_paged() && … Read more
There’s no such parameter as category for WP_Query, so WP is ignoring it. You should use category_name, where the value is the slug of the category.
The simplest thing would be to add a class to the link that contains the post ID. <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/97059/<?php the_permalink() ?>” class=”post-<?php echo get_the_ID(); ?>”> You can then write a custom CSS function, put it in functions.php and hook to the wp_head. This function only serves to echo the necessary CSS to highlight the link. … Read more
