You need to sort in descending order so the last 5 posts will be on top. Just add ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ to your args. $args = Array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘5’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘views’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ );
try this: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘Apple’, ‘value’ => ”, ‘compare’ => ‘NOT LIKE’ ) ), ‘meta_key’ => ‘Price’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘paged’ => get_query_var(‘paged’), ‘order’=> ‘DESC’, ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
Remove the $posts = get_posts($args) line; not needed if you’re calling a WP_Query afterwards.
Filters allow you to change data as it is being used by the wordpress core. This is a huge part of what gives wordpress so much flexibility. add_filter() has 2 main parameters, the filter’s hook and the callback function. When the filter is executed, all the callbacks associated with that filter will be executed. Naturally, … Read more
Rather than querying all posts and then only displaying those that match the criteria, query for posts that match the criteria. WP_Query allows you to do just that with its meta-key/meta-value attributes. For instance, to get posts where the custom field unreleased is to ‘false’, somewhere before the loop: global $wp_query; $customField = array( ‘meta_key’ … Read more
A similar approach to your post_parent idea is to add a filter to posts_where: function bbg_filter_out_non_attachments( $sql ) { global $wpdb; // Maybe do some conditional logic to decide whether to filter this query, then… return $sql . ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent != 0 “; } add_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘bbg_filter_out_non_attachments’ ); Another technique is to do a … Read more
Note: Only read briefly, so I might missunderstood your Q. JOIN on meta_query/post_meta table is pretty … hm, funny(?) … as you’ll JOIN the table (again) for every key you add – this is a known problem (read on trac). In detail INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) is the same as INNER JOIN … Read more
Well I managed to solve this sort of… The answer was to use separate search input boxes for each custom field being searched. Here is my working solution if anyone ever stumbles across this. function display_all_products() { global $term; $term = trim(strip_tags($_POST[‘s’])); $refnoterm = trim(strip_tags($_POST[‘ref’])); $yrterm = trim(strip_tags($_POST[‘yr’])); if(!empty($_POST[‘s’]) || !empty($_POST[‘ref’]) || !empty($_POST[‘yr’])) { if(!empty($_POST[‘s’])) … Read more
As Kaiser has pointed out, the meta_value => $todaysString is querying for events where the value for key event_date is equal to todays string. I.e. events happening today. Also, from the fact that you’ve used strtotime suggests you are sorting by timestamp – which you would like interpreted (and sorted as) a number rather than … Read more
The expected behavior of posts_per_page is to NOT count sticky posts. This can be resolved with ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1, but then the posts don’t stick to the top of the menu. (In the trac ticket for sticky posts this issue is discussed.) There are some workarounds like this one, but they all feel a bit … Read more
