As already stated, you should never (my emphasis) use query_posts to construct custom queries. Note: This function isn’t meant to be used by plugins or themes. As explained later, there are better, more performant options to alter the main query. query_posts() is overly simplistic and problematic way to modify main query of a page by … Read more
What you can do is to set up a pre_get_posts() filter in the subdomains’ theme functions.php file to restrict posts to the desired category… function my_subdomain_category( $query ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘cat’, ‘123’ ); // use the categoryID for space or products } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_subdomain_category’ );
If you’re trying to get all meta values for a key within a specific post type, you can do something like this in a single query: SELECT post_id, meta_value FROM $wpdb->postmeta pm, $wpdb->posts p WHERE meta_key = ‘sd_rating’ and pm.post_id = p.ID AND p.post_type=”cpu”
In the dump of your $args above, nopaging is set to 1 which disables pagination (equivalent to posts_per_page = -1). Try setting this to false and see if it fixes your issue. You can then look into why it’s being set.
Currently your meta query is exclusive and you need to make it inclusive. For example, you can save always the meta field show_in_news for match-report custom post type, even when the value is false. Then, you can include posts if custom show_in_news doesn’t exist (standard posts) or if it exists and it is “true” for … Read more
As I stated in comments, use pre_get_posts to alter the main query. Never replace the main query with a custom one. Again, from comments Just for starters, on each page load you are running the same query twice, it is slow, double the amount of db calls and pagination has to be tweaked to work … Read more
The correct syntax to get posts from the last week is 1 week ago. Just another note, showposts is replaced in favor of posts_per_page. Apart from that, your query should work.
The main problem is that, in your $_POST loop, $value is an array, yet you apply htmlspecialchars to it, which will vomit and return back nothing. If you haven’t done so already, set WP_DEBUG to true in your wp-config.php – developing without it is simply not an option. Regardless, let’s fix that dirty $_POST loop: … Read more
You are complicating everything with a custom query. You should never ever replace the main query with a custom one on the home page or any type of archive page, this breaks page functionalities as you have seen. You should take your time and read this post I have done on this particular issue You … Read more
EDIT 2 My idea in edit one did not work, so I scrapped it. This edit I have sorted the returned array using a foreach loop to sort the posts according to date under the specific author, and the author on top has the newest posts. The code below is tested and working, so you … Read more
