Things to note: It depends on what type of page the query is happening If you’re logged in, private post status will be drawn in for example. Use a filter As the status is something that gets added to the WHERE clause, you have a pretty specific filter that you can use to alter the … Read more
The taxonomy, field and terms in tax_query should be two array-level deep instead of one. Quoted from the WP_Query page: Important Note: tax_query takes an array of tax query arguments arrays (it takes an array of arrays) – you can see this in the second example below. This construct allows you to query multiple taxonomies … Read more
the_content_limit does not exist in WordPress. You probably want something like the_excerpt. What’s likely happening is your loop is working fine, but the call to an undefined function causes the program to error out, making it appear the the loop is not working. Look at the rendered HTML: you’ll probably see a single, opening <li> … Read more
Per the Codex article on WP Query: ignore_sticky_posts (boolean) – ignore sticky posts or not. Default value is 0 – don’t ignore sticky posts. Note: ignore/exclude sticky posts being included at the beginning of posts returned, but the sticky post will still be returned in the natural order of that list of posts returned. Adding … Read more
You should use posts_per_page=4 instead of showposts=4. Reference: WP_Query Pagination Parameters
Found an answer to this. Somehow WordPress’ own orderby isn’t fully functional when trying to order by multiple values. I solved this by changing WP_Query to SQL Query, and including second DESC after _postmeta.meta_value+0 SELECT XXX_posts.* FROM XXX_posts INNER JOIN XXX_postmeta ON (XXX_posts.ID = XXX_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND XXX_posts.post_type=”sidebar_element” AND (XXX_posts.post_status=”publish”) AND (XXX_postmeta.meta_key = ‘sidebar_element_meta_alignment’ … Read more
You can try: $the_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘5’, ‘v_sortby’ => ‘views’, ‘post_type’ => array( ‘post’, ‘music’, ‘videos’, ‘albums’ ), ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘content’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array( ‘indy’ ), ‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’ ) ) )); to exclude the indy term in the content taxonomy.
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot sort a query by two different parameters without an additional iteration over the retrieved posts. Since that ideally should be avoided, let me suggest a different approach: How about incorporating an additional meta value “sort_date”, or the like? And then, in your saving routine, save either the … Read more
You can do this with an array of post types and a tax query for your term. The question you linked had special requirements as only one of the post types used the taxonomy. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => array( ‘books’, ‘movies’, ‘shows’ ), ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘status’, ‘field’ … Read more
Caveat, I can’t really test this right now. However, there are several things that I think could be improved from your code. First if we read the codex or some tips on using ajax we can setup an ajax callback function that isn’t pointing to a file where we have to bootstrap the WordPress load … Read more
