Okay, I understood by now, that get_comments() is only for … well comments. The following is not very elegant, but it does work at least. $i = 0; while (count($comments) < $number) { $comment = get_comments( apply_filters( ‘widget_comments_args’, array( ‘number’ => 1, ‘status’ => ‘approve’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘offset’ => $i ) ) ); if … Read more
The answer to this question is here. The full credit of the answer to my question goes for the author of the answer birgire. All I had to do was slightly change is plugin “Support for post name like in WP_Query” turning it into a function like this: add_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘title_like_posts_where’, 10, 2 ); function … Read more
You have ‘post-type’ in code instead of ‘post_type’
To enable search on a custom post type archive, I use the pre_get_posts hook. Add this code to your theme functions.php file. Here is an example of enabling search on a post type called “resource”: // Enable resource search add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’pk_enable_resource_search’, 1000); function pk_enable_resource_search( $query ) { if ( $query->is_archive(‘resource’) && $query->is_main_query() && ! is_admin() ) … Read more
I think you are using endpoints incorrectly. When a endopoint is created, a new rewrite rule is created using a query var with the same name of the endpoint; its value is taken from the string that follows the endpoint definition. So, if you register “my-endpoint” and build this URL: /page-slug/my-endpoint/123/some-string The endpoint is passed … Read more
Just need to add returnbefore the function. function last_post( $month,$year ) { $args = array( ‘monthnum’ => $month, ‘year’ => $year ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); var_dump( $month ); // int 11, int 10 if( $query->have_posts() ){ return $args; } else { return last_post( $month-1, $year ); // here is the fix! } … Read more
You can improve by storing the “expiry” time of post as a meta instead of the publish time. This way you can query for posts with meta which is smaller then the current time and draft them, no need to loop over all posts. Drawback is that you will have to decide how to handle … Read more
the permalink and post title won’t be available until after you’ve run the query. the following should return the last 3 posts from the designated category. the same post is being displayed 3 times because it doesn’t look like you’re setting the permalink or post title from within “the loop” if (!function_exists(‘get_posts_menus’)): function get_posts_menus($category_name, $count) … Read more
You should never use WP_Query inside that kind of loop (there might be few exceptions but not in your case) because you can do most things with one query. This codex link has everything related to WP_Query with explanations and very simple examples. If taxonomies were a list of groceries and a trip to shop … Read more
The problem with orderby rand is that on most setups the database will load all posts into memory, then randomly order them, and return what you asked for. It’s that loading into memory that makes the query super slow/expensive Also yes, terms are individual categories and tags, where category is a taxonomy, and the ‘development’ … Read more
