You need something like the following: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘events’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘event_start_date’, ‘type’ => ‘DATETIME’, // You can also try changing it to TIME or DATE if it doesn’t work ‘meta_value’ => date( “Y-m-d” ), ‘meta_compare’ => ‘>’, ), ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ );
Here’s my approach… First you have to select 3 latest posts, then you have to pick random one of them… But it’s easier to shuffle selected posts than picking only one of them – that way you can still use normal loop: <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 3, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’ … Read more
You can use pre_get_posts action to modify this order. Here’s the code: function my_change_posts_order( $query ){ if ( ! is_admin() && ( is_category() || is_tag() ) && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘order’, ‘ASC’ ); } }; add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_change_posts_order’); What we do here is: We’re adding our function that will modify params for WP_Queries We … Read more
The first argument of get_the_post_thumbnail() is not the image size that you want to use. It’s the ID or object of the post whose thumbnail you want to get. To get the thumbnail size, set the second argument to ‘thumbnail’. The first argument can just be set to null to get it for the current … Read more
WordPress 3.7 introduced the date_query to display posts month by month: $args = array( ‘date_query’ => array( array( ‘month’ => $month ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); Note : $month refers to month number (1-12)
You have to add any query vars that are not WordPress objects to the array of recognized query vars to be able to retrieve it from the $wp_query global: add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘wpa66452_query_vars’ ); function wpa66452_query_vars( $query_vars ){ $query_vars[] = ‘tree’; return $query_vars; }
I see a number of issues, aside from the use of query_posts ( this should raise immediate alarm bells ). I strongly recommend you don’t use the alt syntax, and that you minimise the unnecessary opening and closing PHP tags as it obscures your code. Here is a cleaned up version of your first query … Read more
You can use $current_post property of WP_Query $query_args = array( “posts_per_page” => “5” ); $listedPosts = new WP_Query($query_args); // the loop if ( $listedPosts->have_posts() ) { while ( $listedPosts->have_posts() ) { $listedPosts->the_post(); if ( (int) $listedPosts->current_post === 0 ) { // loop content for hero post } else { // loop content for remaining posts … Read more
You are overwriting $post_ids variable on every while loop, never collecting them. That can be solved using $post_ids = array(); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $post_ids[] = get_the_ID(); endwhile; var_dump($post_ids); // this is an array of ids However there is simpler way, you can skip the whle cycle and simply run: if( function_exists( ‘wpseo_local_show_map’ ) && … Read more
Ignore my comment about meta_query. Not only does it not work with $query->set(), you wouldn’t be able to control the critical “A OR B” requirement of the query. Instead, I believe what you require is possible via a combination of both the pre_get_posts action hook and posts_where filter hook as follows. add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_show_appropriate_posts’); function my_show_appropriate_posts($query){ … Read more
