What about doing a tax_query? $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘myposttype’, ‘tax_query’=> array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘myposttype_categories’, ‘terms’ => array(‘foo’), ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ) ); $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); var_dump($loop); Facepalm question, you are sure that these taxonomies/post types exist and that there are posts filed under them? Update The query seems to work … Read more
The WordPress function get_posts() is making it’s own instance of WP_Query that is not globally accessible: function get_posts($args = null) { // … cut … $get_posts = new WP_Query; return $get_posts->query($r); } so you could instead try $results = get_posts($args); echo count($results); to give you the array count of post objects returned by get_posts(). WP_Query() … Read more
If you don’t use any other meta data, just add the following to your $args: ‘meta_key’ => ‘sold’, ‘meta_value’ => true, // or whatever it is you’re using here ‘meta_compare’ => ‘!=’, Otherwise, use a WP_Meta_Query: ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘sold’, ‘value’ => true, // or whatever it is you’re using here ‘compare’ … Read more
As setup_postdata is messing with global variables that might be (most probably: are) used by other loops (including The Loop), you should always reset these variables to what they should be—according to the main query (i.e., what WordPress thinks the user wanted in the first place). In addition, setup_postdata is provided with (a reference to) … Read more
Edited Jul, 07 2014 at 6:28 There are a lot of gotchas with your approach. It will not work if there are any custom rewrite rule, it (probably) will not work if server is IIS and pretty permalink are active, it will not work for custom post types, it will not work for archive or … Read more
Here is a concept that you can try out to exclude 5 posts per category each from category 3 and 5 where posts are excluded that belongs to category 9 and either of the before mentioned categories. Here is the function: (CAVEAT: Requires PHP 5.4+ as I used new short array syntax. Change as needed) … Read more
Use pre_get_posts to alter the main query before it is run. The action runs on every query, use the Conditional Tags to target specific queries. function wpd_sort_by_meta( $query ) { if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘meta_key’, ‘your_meta_key’ ); $query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘meta_value_num’ ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpd_sort_by_meta’ );
A more reliable way would be to filter the excerpt and to explode the string into an array, remove the first two key/value pairs from the array and then return your string add_filter( ‘wp_trim_excerpt’, function ( $text ) { // Make sure we have a text if ( !$text ) return $text; $text = ltrim( … Read more
Try [operator] => AND in both the sub-arrays. I think that will work from my reading of WP_Tax_Query::get_sql().
I had this problem with querying on two custom post types, using WP_Query. I had no problem querying for one type or the other in the array, but not both at the same time. Did not work: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => array(‘custom_type_1′,’custom_type_2’), ‘posts_per_page’ => 4 ); Did work: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => array(‘custom_type_1’), … Read more
