you can use this custom function in the functions.php of the theme: /** * count for trackback, pingback, comment, pings * * embed like this: * fb_comment_type_count(‘pings’); * fb_comment_type_count(‘comment’); */ if ( !function_exists(‘fb_comment_type_count’) ) { function fb_get_comment_type_count( $type=”all”, $zero = false, $one = false, $more = false, $post_id = 0) { global $cjd_comment_count_cache, $id, $post; … Read more
Sounds like your news-box isn’t using clean methods for pulling posts. I’m guessing that you are not using the get_posts() function. You’re probably creating a new WP_Query object from scratch? Try using get_posts(), as it will take care of keeping the original page query clean for you.
Since you already have the category ID (you use it in your call to WP_Query::query()), you can just use that to request the category name. get_cat_name( $cat_id ) will do exactly that. It uses get_category( $cat_id ) in the background, which returns the full category object, which can be useful if you want to show … Read more
WPML has a feature called “Automatically Adjust IDs” which detect when specific items are loaded and adjust IDs so that the results are adjusted for the active language. This functionality is enabled by default and can be accessed via WPML->Languages (visible in Advanced mode):
$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; query_posts( array( ‘post_type’ => array( ‘post’, ‘features’, ), ‘category_name’ => ‘Featured’, ‘paged’ => $paged ) ); // have some posts? if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); // the loop endwhile; endif; ?>
Have a look at the examples on the Codex for get_posts(); As for pagination, there are many plugins available, this one for example : WP-Paginate
The template loader determines which template to load for a given view, there’s a filter available to change this though, template_include as seen on the source page linked. Moved from comment to answer.
Two options- load a page fragment using jQuery’s load method (see Loading Page Fragments), or create your own ajax function to load posts and return it in whatever markup you wish: add_action(‘wp_ajax_my_ajax_get_posts’, ‘my_ajax_callback’); add_action(‘wp_ajax_nopriv_my_ajax_get_posts’, ‘my_ajax_callback’); function my_ajax_callback() { $args = $_POST[‘myargs’]; $collected_child_posts = new WP_Query($args); echo ‘some stuff’; die(); } pass the admin-ajax url to … Read more
For your second example, I think you’re initiating your Loop incorrectly. You’re declaring $query, which hasn’t been globalized? // Search is working, querying is not global $query_string; // required $posts = query_posts($query_string.’&posts_per_page=3&cat=$catid’); while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); Try omitting $query from your Loop initiation? // Search is working, querying is not global $query_string; // … Read more
I haven’t had much success in the past using the BETWEEN comparison with meta queries. You might have better luck by replacing your meta query with a >= and <= comparison: ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘opening_time’, ‘value’ => $today, ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘type’ => ‘DATE’ ), array( ‘key’ => ‘opening_time’, ‘value’ => $future, … Read more
