“This code works” – but it doesn’t! If you’re gonna cache paginated posts, you’ll need to store them chunked: if ( ! $my_paged = absint( get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ) ) $my_paged = 1; if ( ! $my_query = get_transient( “recent_$paged” ) ) { $my_query = new WP_Query( “cat=3&posts_per_page=5&paged=$my_paged” ); set_transient( “recent_$paged”, $my_query, 60 * 60 … Read more
Based on several different answers, with a SPECIAL thanks to EAMann‘s similar answer – here’s the method I followed. Using new WP_Query instead of query_posts for this page. Defining the query variable ($main_query) as global. Querying a temp array ($temp_featured) with my featured posts. Creating an array with only the IDs of the `$temp_featured’. Note … Read more
You have a couple of issues here, the main one being that your query sets posts per page to two, but the number of pages available has no relationship to your custom query. If your “Blog pages show at most” under Reading settings is set to 10, and an author only has <= 10 posts, … Read more
You’re 95% of the way there already. Just add if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) and incorporate your $odd variable: <?php $my_query = new WP_Query(‘offset=5&showposts=10’); if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $odd = false; while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $odd = !$odd; ?> <div class=”<?php if ($odd) echo ‘uneven ‘; ?>post”> <h3><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/70713/<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <?php the_excerpt(); … Read more
I would filter pre_get_posts. Perhaps like so, though you may need to tweak the conditional a bit: function wpse71508_filter_pre_get_posts( $query ) { if ( is_main_query() ) { if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) { $query->set( ‘cat’, ‘-22’ ); } } return $query; } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpse71508_filter_pre_get_posts’ ); If you could clarify the context (rather than … Read more
You can’t insert multiple rows via wpdb’s insert, you have to do it with raw SQL: INSERT into $meta_table (post_id, meta_key, meta_value) VALUES (‘val1’, ‘val2’, ‘val3’), (‘otherval1’, ‘otherval2’, ‘otherval3’) However- You should always use the API where a function exists- use add_post_meta so your plugin integrates with the WordPress environment and its behavior can be … Read more
Why reinvent the wheel? Just create archive-{posttype}.php, and ensure that ‘has_archive’ is set to true for the post type. If your post type is event: archive-event.php. Then, WordPress will handle the query automatically. If pretty permalinks are enabled: example.com/{posttype} …will display the archive index page for {posttype}.
The codex on is_tax: This Conditional Tag checks if a custom taxonomy archive page is being displayed. That is not the condition you want to check for. Take a look at the has_term function and use it like so: if( has_term( ‘tennis-ball’, ‘ball-types’, $post->ID ) ) { /* SHOW THE TENNIS BALL GRAPHIC */ } … Read more
Your two queries are identical, meaning you only need one of them. The basic solution is: global $testimonials; $testimonials = new WP_Query(array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 2, /* <– get both */ ‘post_type’ => ‘testimonial’, ‘post_status’ => ‘published’, ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true /* you need this to control post count accurately */ )); // header … Read more
I am not 100% sure what you are asking but as written that is going to be wrong. tax_query is an array of arrays but you have an array of array of arrays. You create the third array when you put $taxQuery into array($taxQuery). This should be more correct: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => $postType, … Read more
