The better option may be to use the pre_get_posts hook instead to modify the query before it gets requested instead of creating your own query. Here’s what it would look like: /** * Modify Theme Queries * – https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/pre_get_posts/ * – https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts * * @param $query * * @return void */ function theme_pgp( $query ) … Read more
Here’s what I did recently on a site, which should be easily adapted for your case. I was using jQuery for a number of things on this site, so relied on that. While WP has some great AJAX handling, it was simpler in this instance for me to just use jQuery’s AJAX load() method. If … Read more
We could try to use the the_posts filter, that’s applied on the queried posts, if the suppress_filters query variable is false, to collect relevant post IDs. We can then use the pre_get_posts hook, in each query, to exclude the accumulated array of post IDs. Here’s a schema example for the process: // Main query $wp_query … Read more
I believe your issue is with $vals=get_post_meta($post_id, $key2, true); If you check the codex, the last parameter for get_post_meta is whether to return a single value or array of values. You have set it to true which means return only one value. Try it with false (the default) it should work.
The issue is that when you don’t have any speakers, you don’t have anything to pass to your include parameter. You could solve it by wrapping the code in a conditional so it only runs if there are speakers attached to that post. $speakers = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘min_webinar_speaker’, false ); if ($speakers != ”) { … Read more
That’s a known problem with WordPress and searches involving postmeta. What I’d try to do is to create a new taxonomy for “things” you’re usually searching the most: offer_order_status seems the better candidate, as it can be active or not. I’d create a taxonomy with two elements. That would reduce the time of your search … Read more
I’ve investigated a bit and your problem is the WP_Query::parse_orderby() function. Everything you like to use as an order is sanitized there which the user Otto liked to point out. Unfortunately it has no filter to hook in. And yes it is better to use some meta_fields if you can afford an expensive JOIN in … Read more
Maybe you could try this, to sanitize the whole $_POST array $_POST = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); Or to sanitize just a field, you could use the native WP function $sanitized = sanitize_text_field ( $_POST[‘key’] );
Set include_children to false in the tax_query. $args = array( ‘post_type’ => array( ‘product’, ‘product_variation’ ), ‘tax_query’ => array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array( ‘shop’, ‘cat1’ ), ‘include_children’ => false, ‘operator’ => ‘AND’, ) ) ); See https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters
I’m not sure it quite works like that. Try inspecting $query->public_query_vars instead and I think you’ll see it added in there. The way I usually use it is like this: add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘add_test_query_vars’); function add_test_query_vars($vars){ $vars[] = “test”; return $vars; } So the same as you but with a named function. Then I add a … Read more
