I think what you are after is get_post_meta() and not a custom query. REASONS: The results from custom fields are cached and extremely streamline when it cone to performance. You can read this answer I have done recently which will explain everything You are trying to get the custom field attached to a post only … Read more
It helps to write problems down. After I haven’t used pre_get_posts extensively, I focused too much on that area for the cause, but it was the if clause. Changed to if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && ! is_post_type_archive( ‘cpt’ ) ) { return $query; } elseif ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_post_type_archive( ‘cpt’ … Read more
First of all, your meta_query is wrong. It should be an array of an array, not just an array So, the following ‘meta_query’ => array ( ‘key’ => ‘qd_resource_author_selector’, ‘value’ => $myAuthor, ), becomes ‘meta_query’ => array ( array( ‘key’ => ‘qd_resource_author_selector’, ‘value’ => $myAuthor, ), ), Secondly, you can optimize your query. You are … Read more
Nothing I see in Core would do that in either wp_redirect() or wp_sanitize_redirect() (which is used by wp_redirect()). However… both functions are pluggable and so could have been replaced by theme or plugin code. And wp_redirect() has the wp_redirect filter that can be used to alter the redirect location– the part you are having trouble … Read more
You need a custom query – this will join the posts, postmeta and usermeta table together and then count all communityposts, post and video views, grouped by author: function wpse_190303_get_popular_users( $number = 5 ) { if ( ! $number = absint( $number ) ) return; global $wpdb; $query = ” SELECT SUM( $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value+0 ) AS … Read more
For whatever reason, it was an issue specific to the orderby parameter. Adding remove_all_filters(‘posts_orderby’); to the top of the more_post_ajax() function solved the problem.
By seeing your code, you are creating the $args array but not passing it to the WP_Query. Try using the below way. $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 7, ‘offset’ => ‘5’, ‘paged’ => $paged ) ; $my_query =new WP_Query($args); ……
The mysql_*() functions won’t work after WP 3.9, so don’t use them. See Make WordPress Core entry MySQL in WordPress 3.9. It is adviced to use $wpdb methods instead – if necessary. In your case – as far as I can tell – it isn’t necessary at all. You can use the relevant API functions … Read more
One of two things is happening that I can think of: You have sticky posts showing up. Try adding an ignore_stickie_posts argument. $args = array ( ‘pagination’ => true, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘ignore_stickie_posts’ => true, ); See: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/85658/21376 You have a poorly written (too global) pre_get_posts filter. Something like: function naughty_pre_get_posts( $query ) { $query->set( … Read more
The sticky posts are prepended on the first paginated part of the home page, so try this: add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, function( $q ) { if ( $q->is_home() && $q->is_main_query() && $q->get( ‘paged’ ) > 1 ) $q->set( ‘post__not_in’, get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ) ); } ); to remove it from the other paginated parts of the home page.
