No need for a custom query. Since 3.1, you can use a ‘meta query’; query_posts( array( ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘meta_key_name’, ‘value’ => ‘test’, ‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’ ) ) ) ); Check out the codex on custom field parameters.
You need to just merge the current query for the search with the part you want to add which you came close to doing already. I assume you have a custom taxonomy called media and you specifically want to leave out posts with the term media (like a term found in a tag or category) … Read more
You would need to build your own query and pass it to query_posts i.e. if your array of post ids is: array (10,21,1) // corresponding to post ids. then you can query this way: select * from wp_posts where `ID` in (10, 21, 2) order by field(ID,10,21,2) This will give you a result set in … Read more
I believe you have to use meta compare LIKE. If you do a regular meta query, the resulting SQL will be meta_value = your_value, which is never going to find anything because it’s trying to match the entire contents of the field.
I don’t see your call to the ajaxurl in your code. Are you actually getting an ajax response? Try this javascript: jQuery(document).ready( function($) { $(“a.getviews”).click( function() { var td = $(this).parent(); /* only fetch results once */ $(this).unbind(‘click’).bind(‘click’, function(){return false;}); // replace button with loader $(td).html(‘<span class=”loader”></span>’); $.ajax({ type: ‘POST’, url: ajaxurl, data: { action: … Read more
What I would do is just create a custom taxonomy type to share between both custom post types that are dynamically created when a new post of the Clients type is created with the same title, then you can associate them without any custom meta handling.
wp_list_categories() is a simple function that returns (or echos, depending on parameter) a list of links to category archives. It needs not to be reset. When you create a new instance of the WP_Query class you need to reset postdata, because Template Tags otherwise use that query and not the main query. You’ve said: I’m … Read more
Go through each loop, storing the post object in an array. Then at the end combine them. (This is completely untested) https://gist.github.com/1762204
Surprisingly, WordPress does not make it very straightforward. Even though lots of people have had similar questions on the wordpress.org forums, I believe yours is unique in that you want to keep the order and sort. This is by no means quality code, but does exactly what you’re looking for. class WP_Query_Custom extends WP_Query { … Read more
Actually, you’re a mistaken on a couple of points here. 1. Don’t use query_posts() This function is meant for modifying an existing query, not performing a standalone query. You should either use get_posts() or a new instance of the WP_Query() class to perform your query for the custom loop. Here’s some further reading on query_posts(): … Read more
